She Has The Audacity

Intuition vs fear comes down to one simple test: your intuition is always calm and kind, and fear is loud, rushed, and full of doubt. If you are a Type A, high-achieving woman who has built a successful life through pressure and proving, you may have been living with a dysregulated nervous system for so long that you can no longer tell your inner knowing from your inner critic. You are not broken....

Learning how to rest without guilt starts with dropping the quiet rule that rest is a reward you have to earn first. If you keep promising yourself a break after the emails, the client calls, the groceries, and the kids, then move the finish line the moment you get there, this one is for you. You are not lazy, and you are not behind. You are a woman with a nervous system built for recovery, living...

Learning how to trust your intuition starts when you stop treating the signals in your body as proof that something is wrong with you. If you have built a life that looks perfect on paper and still feel the quiet ick, you are not broken. You are being called to something more. Maybe you are the most capable woman in every room, the one everyone comes to for answers, and you keep saying “fine” when...

Perimenopause weight gain is the stubborn weight, often 15 to 20 pounds around your midsection, that shows up when progesterone and estrogen start to drop, sometimes as early as your late 30s. If you are eating clean, working out hard, and still watching the scale climb, this is not a willpower problem. It is a hormone problem, and no amount of calorie cutting, cardio, or supplements will fix it o...

Manifestation, when using the tools found in ancient Kabbalah, is the practice of co-creating your life with God through what you think, speak, and feel, starting from humility instead of control. If you have done the affirmations and the vision boards and still feel stuck, you may be skipping the inner work underneath. Maybe your first instinct is that you are doing something wrong. Maybe you kee...

Wanting more out of life is not a sign that you are ungrateful. It is a sign that you are done settling for fine. When the job is fine, the marriage is fine, the business is fine, and you are fine, that word quietly keeps you complacent and convinces you that mediocre is all you should expect. If you have ever downgraded a dream, told yourself it is not the right season, or felt greedy for wanting...

Energetic integrity is the practice of making sure who you are on the inside matches how you show up on the outside, and it's the idea Liana Louzon built her jewelry brand, Rocking Vibe, around from day one. If you've ever felt like your business, your calendar, or even your closet is following someone else's rules instead of your own, this conversation names exactly why that feels so off, and wha...

Rebranding your podcast can be about more than growth, it can be about giving other women permission to stop playing small, and that is exactly why She Has the Audacity relaunched. If you have ever downplayed your own ambition, told yourself your idea was not a big deal, or waited on someone else's approval before making a bold move, this episode was made for you. Host Chana Ross sits down with Si...

Midlife reinvention means rebuilding your business, your parenting, and your sense of purpose all at the same time, and it rarely happens on your schedule. If you've spent years pouring yourself into a business or a cause while your kids grew up in the background, this episode is for you. After an unannounced break, Chana Ross returns to explain exactly what pulled her away from the mic in the fal...

Hosted by women’s health...

Hi everyone I wanted to take a moment today to share something with you directly.

Through her own postpartum experience and years of clinical practice, Leigha has seen how e...

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Kim Smiley—artist, designer, and founder of The Empathy Effect—for a conversation about building from intuition, leading with compassion, and creating a business that feels as human as it is impactful.

We tend to equate vitality with energy, connection, and desire—but when those begin to fade, it can leave us questioning where our sense of aliveness has gone. Many women are left without the language—or the support—to understand why. What's often dismissed as a hormone issue or "just stress" can point to something deeper: disconnection from self, unspoken shame, and internalized beliefs that prio...

Leadership starts from the inside. Before we can guide a team, we have to understand how we show up our patterns, our boundaries, and the impact we have on the people around us. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Rachel Weinstein, executive coach and leadership advisor, for a thoughtful conversation about leading from self-awareness. With over 15 years of experience coaching...

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Aumatma a naturopathic doctor, endocrinologist, and holistic fertility expert, for a deeply nuanced conversation about how we relate to our bodies, our timing, and the expectations...

So many women in health and wellness feel torn between their calling and the constraints of their model—stuck trying to serve more people without burning out, or hesitating to take the leap into something bigger because it doesn't look like what they were trained to do. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Walker—former naturopathic doctor turned entropologist, speak...

For many women, stress doesn't come from one moment or mistake—it builds quietly in the relentless pace, the invisible expectations, and the pressure to keep performing and holding it all together. Over time, "just keep going" becomes the default, leaving little room to notice what's actually driving you—or what your body has been trying to say. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sat down...

That voice in your head that says, "I should be further along by now"? It's louder than ever—and it's lying to you. In this solo episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm unpacking this pressure so many of us carry: the belief that progress has a schedule and if we are not meeting it we are failing. Thinking we should be further ahead, more accomplished, more certain, less messy. Whether you're buildin...

We hear a lot about balance—as if it's a destination we're all supposed to reach. But for many women navigating leadership, motherhood, business, partnership, and personal growth, balance isn't about doing everything. It's about holding what matters—without losing yourself in the process. In this solo episode of She Has The Audacity, I'm unpacking the tension behind this idea of "balancing it all....

What if the greatest barrier to reproductive health wasn't access—but silence?
