I’ve invited three of my soulmates to join me on the show so we can talk about this great love – its value, what works and what d...

On this episode we discuss what I believe to be the common denominator of success. The thing that all the people who make it big have in common. What do you think that is? Hard work? Talent? Passion or great connections? I believe it’s this: They are RESILIENT. Which, for most of us, is a skill we get to build. Here to help us do just that is Erika Rothenberger. She uses her degree in Civil Engine...

We’re a few weeks into the new year, so how are your resolutions going? If the answer is anything but GREAT, this episode is for you. Because there’s a huge segment of people I want to acknowledge – those who make the resolutions and then don’t follow through, for whatever reason. And my concern is less about follow through, and more about the beat up, guilt, and shame that often comes along with...

I don’t think I’ve interacted with a single woman who isn’t experiencing stress at an uncomfortable and unhealthy level. I’ve become so used to being stressed that I’m not sure I even recognize it anymore. I need my Oura Ring to point it out for me, and I have taken HeyFreya’s stress test to get more insight into how my body is managing, or not managing my stress. I don’t think you or I were meant...

On this episode of TIWW we talk about how to recognize the busyness trap for what it is, so we don’t get lured or accidentally fall into it, AND about getting ourselves out of it once we’ve fallen in.  I’m doing this episode for YOU, but I’m also doing it for me so I can listen to it those couple times a year when I forget everything I know and revert back to those “busyness”, “do more” tendencies...
