Mini Mindset Drop: Own Your Worth 29.06.2026

Comparison has a way of making us question our value, especially in a world filled with highlight reels and constant opinions. In this Mini Mindset Drop, I'm talking about what it means to own your worth... Not because of likes, followers, achievements, or approval, but because of who God created you to be. When you stop measuring yourself against everyone else, you make room to embrace your u...

Rewiting the Plan | You've Got Something to Say 13.06.2026

For years, I thought success looked like one thing. A bigger business. More income. A seven-figure goal. Then life rewrote the plan. When my dad developed Alzheimer's and came to live with me, I found myself asking a very different question. Not "How much more can I make?" But "How much is enough?" Enough income. Enough freedom. Enough flexibility. Enough time for the peopl...

Celebrating the Wins 01.06.2026

It's easy to focus on what's still missing, what's not working yet, or how far we still have to go. But when we do that, we often overlook the evidence of growth that's right in front of us.

Grown Women Still Believe in Magic | You've Got Something to Say 30.05.2026

One side says "Grown Women." The other says "Still Believe in Magic." What started as a pair of custom Disney ears became a reminder I didn't know I needed. In this episode, I'm talking about possibility, reinvention, self-doubt, and why believing your story isn't over might be the most powerful kind of magic there is. Because maybe magic isn't pixie dust and fa...

When Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something | Coleen Huebert 25.05.2026

What happens when your body keeps trying to get your attention… and you keep trying to push through anyway? In this episode, I’m talking with Coleen Huebert about brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, mold illness, and the way women are often taught to ignore symptoms until they can’t anymore. This wasn’t one of those “perfect morning routine” wellness conversations. It was a real discussion about what it...

Still Figuring This Out (And Showing Up Anyway) 02.05.2026

I thought by episode 3 I’d have this figured out. I don’t. And honestly, I think that’s the point. In this episode of You’ve Got Something to Say , I’m talking about what it looks like to show up before everything is clear. Before you have the perfect format, the perfect plan, or even a full understanding of what you’re building. Because this isn’t just about podcasting. It’s about writing the boo...

Is This All There Is? | Reinventing Yourself in Midlife with Heike Yates 20.04.2026

At some point, a lot of us look around and think… “Is this all there is?” Not in a dramatic way. Just that quiet realization that the life you’ve been living doesn’t quite fit anymore. In this episode of the Rebel Tribe Podcast, I’m talking with Heike Yates—midlife fitness expert, coach, and author of Pursue Your Spark —about what it really looks like to navigate midlife transitions, identity shif...

Mini Mindset Drop: Flipping the Script on Self-Doubt 20.04.2026

Rebel Tribe After Hours: The Things No One Tells You About Loss, Life, and What Comes After 19.04.2026

Tonight’s conversation is one of those you don’t realize you need… until you’re in it. I’m sitting down with Patricia Crowder, and what starts as a conversation about caregiving and loss turns into something deeper—about identity, survival, and the reality no one prepares you for when life changes overnight. We talk about grief, but not in the way you usually hear it. Not the neat stages or the po...

I Almost Didn’t Record This (Because I Didn’t Feel Ready) 17.04.2026

Not because I didn’t have something to say… But because it was late, I was tired, the lighting wasn’t great, and honestly? I didn’t feel ready. And that’s exactly the problem. If we wait until everything is perfect, we never start. In this episode, I’m talking about: Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuckHow overthinking stops your voice before it ever gets startedAnd what it actually looks lik...

Mini Mindset Drop: I Was the Odd One Out… Until I Realized That Was the Point 12.04.2026

I spent a long time feeling like the odd one out. My dad wrote poetry. My mom could draw and paint. My family is athletic. And I wasn’t any of those things. And for a long time, that bothered me. Because I kept looking around thinking, "Why don’t I have those gifts?" In this Mini Mindset Drop, I’m talking about what shifted for me. And how the things I thought made me different—the things that fel...

Burritos, Farmers Markets… and a Conversation That Went Everywhere (After Hours with Moxie Meg) 11.04.2026

This is one of those conversations…You know the kind where you start in one place and end up somewhere completely different? Yeah. That. I sat down with Moxie Meg—who, by the way, showed up with breakfast burritos and her homemade Moxie sauce (which honestly already makes her a favorite)—and we were supposed to talk about her business. And we did… a little. We talked about her burritos. And her Fr...

You’ve got something to say, so why aren’t you saying it? This is the first episode of You’ve Got Something to Say , and we’re starting with something I see all the time. Women who have the experience, the stories, the knowledge and still hold back. Not because they don’t have anything to say. But because they’re overthinking it. Second guessing it. Waiting until they feel ready. And let’s be hone...

Thriving, Not Just Surviving: A Conversation About Resilience with Jennifer Shepherd 16.03.2026

In this episode of the Unstuck: Next Steps series , I’m sitting down with Jennifer Shepherd to talk about something we all need at some point in life: resilience.

We talk about what it actually means to move from just...

Mini Mindset Drop: Creating a Positive Environment 16.03.2026

Creating a positive environment for your mind. That means paying attention to wh...

When Your Body Changes the Rules: Women’s Health After 40 13.03.2026

In this episode I’m joined by Faye Nulman, Sharon Reece, and Claudine François for an honest conversation about women’s health in midlife — the changes we go through...

Rebel Tribe After Hours: A Conversation About Breath, Healing, and Coming Back to Calm 01.03.2026

Tonight’s After Hours conversation is less about hustling and more about exhaling.

We get into insomnia, humming in the grocery store, laughter, community connection, and the ongoing dance betwe...

It’s Not About the Clothes. It’s About the Comeback. | Rachel Osborne Cox (Dress for Success NWA) 24.02.2026

You hear “Dress for Success” and you think clothes. And yes, clothes are part of it. But that’s not really what this conversation is about. I sat down with Rachel Osborne Cox from Dress for Success Northwest Arkansas, and we ended up talking about what it actually looks like when women are trying to get back on their feet. The nerves.
