YES, WOMAN (formerly PurposeGirl): Real conversations for women ready for MORE - More aliveness, more purpose, more pleasure, more power to create the life you want.

I am honored to have reached this amazing milestone of 200 weekly episodes, and I want to thank you, my listeners, for making this podcast so successful in countries all over the world.

I had no idea what she was going to ask and where this conversatio...

Women come to me for a number of reasons – sometimes they feel like they're in a rut, that they're just going through the motions and they know there's more to life. Sometimes they're searching for something more meaningful and fulfilling to do and they need help uncovering their purpose. And for so many women who come to me, they're craving more joy in their lives, more happiness. In today's epis...

I celebrate women all year long, but as Women's History Month comes to an end, I want to hold up several women as shining examples of women living their purpose and the incredible impact they have had on the world. And along with these women I pose questions for you to dive deeply into your own life, for you to explore your own stories and the impact that you have or can make on the world. I talk...

So many people have ideas about how they'd like to change the world for the better, but they allow their limiting beliefs, or expectations from others, or any of a host of other challenges to stop them before they start. My guest today, Krista Kleiner, talks about pushing through her own challenges to create a global effort to spread love and unity in a wide variety of areas, and she is truly maki...

Emmy-award winning journalist. Founder and head of an international nonprofit empowering women leaders around the world. The list goes on. And as it turns out, when our interview ran into a roadblock for technical reason, she ca...

What is that big, juicy, audacious dream that you've always had, that maybe you've been afraid to pursue or you've beaten yourself up for abandoning? Maybe you think it's impossible to achieve? Last year I accomplished that kind of goal for myself, one that I had thought impossible: I threw the world's largest event for International Women's Day, with 12 hours of keynote speakers, panels, movement...

When I created The Women's Day Event for International Women's Day in March 2021, I knew I wanted to give back, I knew I wanted to raise money for a community organization that supports girls leadership, and I was thrilled to find The Power of Girlhood, a leadership development organization serving adolescent girls in metro Detroit. And then I met its founder and was just blown away by this amazin...

For so many women, the idea of midlife implies a crisis: Midlife crisis . A big part of this is because society has put so much emphasis on our looks and has tied our looks to our worth. And this is really different for the way society views men at the same stage of life. Amanda Hanson has made it her mission to show women a new way of being in, and doing, midlife. Amanda joins us to talk about: T...

Goals can be valuable tools when created and used properly, but too many of us have spent years chasing life goals that were directly given to us, or heavily influenced by, others, and aren't truly in alignment with our own desires. When I was younger I fell prey to this myself, and it took years to get out from under it and turn my life around. And so in today's episode I'm talking about The rela...

Too often we play the What If game in a negative way, worrying about ways that things can go wrong. What if they don't love me? What if I lose my job? What if I don't go after my dreams yet again? I get it, and I can fall prey to this, too. But as we move into 2022, I want you to do What If differently! What if things go well? What if I finally pursue my dreams? What if I get that promotion or lan...

I take a few minutes at the end of the year to thank you, my listeners, who make this all possible.

I've experienced a lot of trauma in my life (being abused, going through a divorce, having several miscarriages, being with a friend when he drowned, and more), and I'm sure most of you have as well. I've found that my traumas have shown up in my life in a number of ways and long after they were supposedly over, and it's an ongoing effort to work with and through them and rise above them. My guest...

2021 was an incredibly successful year for my business, PurposeGirl. There are a lot of things that contributed to this, but the number one factor is that I committed to my own pleasure. Now that might not seem particularly relevant, but taking care of my own pleasure, doing this work from a place of pleasure, has been such a game-changer for me, and in this episode I'm sharing with you how elevat...

So often we give thanks for our family, for your home, for abundance but when do you even stop and give thanks for yourself? When do you ever pause and actually look in the mirror and say thank you, when you look at the woman in front of you? When do you actually look at her and say: I love you. I appreciate you. You're amazing. If you're like most women, that doesn't happen. And so today's episod...

Have you ever wanted to ask me questions, maybe get some free coaching or individualized support? Have you ever actually reached out and sent me a question?
