Thrive Hive Podcast

Thrivesters , this conversation is the one you didn’t know you needed . How many times have you heard “advocate for yourself,” or “you have to meet your own needs,” and thought… but I don’t even know what I need ? This week, I’m joined by the brilliant and deeply grounded Mara Glatzel - author of Needy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your Sovereignty . She's a coach, writer, mother of dr...

This one hit me hard , Thrivesters and I knew I had to bring this straight to the Hive. After three weeks on the road, I finally unpacked my big overflowing work bag - and I was blown away at what I found. Ten pens. Five lip balms. Three lipsticks. Two notepads. A dirty spoon (yes, really). And a whole lot of stuff I didn’t need - physically and emotionally. That bag was heavy. And not just in pou...

I’ve said it before, Thrivesters, and I’ll say it again:  my energy is nonrenewable, and I can’t get it back. Summer can be glorious, but it can also be a thief. Even the “good” stress - the parties, beach days, houseguests, late nights - ALL THE FUN THINGS still register as stress in your body. Your nervous system doesn’t care how fabulous your calendar looks; it just knows you’re running hot. Th...

After three weeks, twelve planes, five hotels, and more real conversations than I can count, I felt something incredibly powerful, Thrivesters: I felt the power of the HIVE. The HIVE IS ALIVE (and it’s global)! No matter where I went in the world, I made real connections with the women I met. Everywhere. In airports, spas, at the gym - even when we didn’t speak the same language - we saw each othe...

For 15 years, I gave myself every excuse not to run. Wrong shoes. Wrong gear. Too tired. Too cold. My feet hurt. You name it - I said it. And I believed it. Until one morning in Crete. I’m at this beautiful outdoor gym. No water. No socks. No Netflix. A total act of God that my AirPods even connected. I hit play and on comes Lynyrd Skynyrd. “Gimme Three Steps.” I start walking. Then jogging. Then...

You love your life. Your work lights you up. You days are full of exciting things. And yet…You’re exhausted. A little irritable.  Foggy. Burned out and confused, because everything you're doing is good. This week, we’re diving into a truth that high-achievers often ignore: Even good stress is still stress. And when you don’t give your body time to recover, it doesn’t matter how "amazing" your life...

Half the year is almost behind us. Thrivesters. So let’s stop, breathe, and ask ourselves: Is what we’ew working on… still worth working toward? Today I’m inviting you to pause and take stock - not with guilt or shame, but with clarity and conviction. Because if a goal hasn’t gotten your attention in six months, it might not be your goal anymore. Perhaps it never was. And that’s okay. I’m walking...

She left the job. The title. The hustle. And finally - she found herself .

Crystal built the life she thought she should : Successful career, fitness ni...

You’re craving a fresh start. New season. New space. New chapter. Thrivesters, I get it.  It’s exciting when you finally figure out what you want.  Who you want to be.  Where you want to go.   When you know, you want to START RIGHT NOW. And here’s where you need a reality check because if you jump too soon – it’s very possible you’ll have to redo it all.   Not to mention the cost of leaping withou...

I was sitting in the emergency room, calm as could be. I wasn’t pacing, I wasn’t tapping my foot, and I wasn’t torqued up. I was actually... CALM . And I knew exactly why. Ever heard of a glimmer, Podsters? A glimmer is a scientific, nervous-system-soothing micro-moment that can shift your entire day.   These are often-overlooked experiences that spark calm, connection, and joy… and they matter mo...

So if they’re gonna judge you anyway… why not do what you actually want to do? This week, we’re diving deep into the fear of judgment and the ripple effect it has - not just on you, but on the people you’re meant to serv...

Welcome back Podsters! It’s been five years since the world shut down, and in that stillness, many of us made big promises to ourselves - about our careers, our well-being, our boundaries, and the kind of lives we are committed to living. So here’s the BIG question:  Are we keeping these promises? Today’s episode takes a look at: ✅ The commitments we made to ourselves (and others) - and where we...

People form their opinion of you in seven seconds.   You read that right, Podsters – seven seconds. Think about all the time we spend in creating our personal brand.  The things we say, the things we do – how we show up.  And all of this hard work and investment can vanish in seconds because of your clothes. Your brand never sleeps. How you present yourself impacts how people perceive you, from th...

Today’s episode is very near and dear to my heart posters, and it’s because the #1 question I am asked is, “What’s one piece of advice you would give your younger self? And every single time I’m asked this question; my answer is always the same.  Trust your instincts. Intuition, “gut feeling”, instincts – whatever you want to call it – YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU.  And today, Podsters, we’...

Let’s face it, Podsters, every time you try to organize your life, it feels like you’ve been sold a cookie-cutter solution that only makes things worse. Systems that look great in theory tend to crash and burn when faced with the reality of OUR lives.  It’s like trying to squeeze into a dress that was made for a different body, except now we’re drowning in paper, emails, and photos we don’t even r...
