    Jul 28 2025

    I’m back—and this time, I’ve got a new baby in my arms and a whole birth story to share. This episode is a deeply personal one. I’m pulling back the curtain on my third maternity leave, giving you an honest look into my home birth with baby Wesley, and talking about what postpartum has looked and felt like this time around.

    It’s my first time experiencing birth while also being a podcast host, so I figured it was finally my turn to share what I’ve listened to so many other women do: tell their birth story. Grab your coffee and come hang out with me in this behind-the-scenes, heart-on-my-sleeve solo catch-up.

    Three things you’ll take away:

    • What actually helped in postpartum recovery (from freezer meals to childcare)
    • How I mentally prepped for another unmedicated home birth
    • The emotional rollercoaster of newborn feeding issues and finding your spark for work again

  • 148: Let It Go to Grow: The Real ROI of Delegation for Entrepreneurs with Nata Salvatori
    Jul 7 2025

    There is one skill could change everything—and you might be resisting it. we're handing the mic to Nata Salvatori, a photographer, business coach, and podcast host who is diving into one of the most essential and misunderstood strategies for sustainable business growth: delegation.

    Listen in as she shares her personal journey from working in healthcare with a full support team to building her own business as a solopreneur. Spoiler: trying to do it all nearly burned her out.

    I know delegation brings up resistance—frustration, fear, even past trauma from hiring gone wrong. Here's the truth: delegation is a skill, not a personality trait. In this episode, she's showing us how to develop it.

    If you’ve ever said, “It’s just faster if I do it myself,” or “I’m not big enough to need help,” this episode is for you.

    In this episode:

    • The 5 most damaging myths about delegation—and the mindset shifts to overcome them.
    • A simple 3-step framework to start delegating effectively today.
    • How to separate your self-worth from your workload and step into true leadership.

This week, we're handing the mic to Sabrina Gebhardt, longtime photographer, business coach, and mom of three, who shares her personal story of burnout and the radical shifts that brought her back to life and creativity.

    You'll hear how Sabrina recognized she was in survival mode, the “fixes” that didn’t work, and the deep mindset shifts that finally did. She shares the systems, boundaries, and mindset reframe that helped her move from burnout to sustainable success and how you can start that process too.

    Three key takeaways:

    • Why doing more won’t fix burnout—and what will.
