Today on Can’t Be Contained, I’m joined by my dear friend, the incredible Mandy Ferdman! Mandy is not just the creative mastermind behind Bath Haus (yes, the newly patented filtered bathtub spout you’ll soon be obsessed with!), but she’s also a meditation prodigy, energy alignment enthusiast, and one of the most intuitive, truth-telling women I know.

In this episode, Mandy and I crack open a raw, hilarious, and deeply real conversation about intuition, feminine leadership, and the pursuit of radical alignment in life and business. Mandy shares how intuition and energetic alignment have guided everything from crafting a viral maid-of-honor speech to launching a game-changing wellness company all while balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship (and, spoiler alert: she’s got zero tolerance left for people-pleasing!).

We get into the nitty gritty of:
➤ The art of attuning to subtlety and learning from intuition vs. chaos
➤ The power and pain of radical honesty (even when it risks relationships)
➤ How rejecting societal “shoulds” and embracing the path of least resistance can supercharge your business, creative projects, and family life
➤ Practical, real-talk strategies for moving through triggers and emotional contractions—without letting them explode your life
➤ Navigating the new era of women in business, discerning alignment in team and partners, and how to trust your body’s wisdom (even when everyone else says otherwise)
➤ How motherhood unlocked her deepest creative flow and helped her build a mission-driven business from love (not hustle)

We also share some of our own stories about growing (up, together, and as women in business), learning to hold strong boundaries, and owning our wild, creative spirits—plus a behind-the-scenes look at Mandy’s journey with Bathhouse and what’s next for this revolutionary wellness brand.

If you’re ready for an episode that’s packed with gut-level honesty, big laughs, practical magic, and wisdom for building a life and business that feels truly aligned, this one’s for you!

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, or anyone on an authentic path—Mandy’s fierce wisdom and loving mirror can’t be contained—and you won’t want to miss it.

Today, on Can’t Be Contained, I’m so excited to be joined by the incredible Heidi Stevens! Heidi is a powerhouse coach, speaker, and entrepreneur known for helping women embrace their full potential—with careers, families, and all the nuance in between. In this episode, Heidi and I go deep into the realities of female entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the art of living a life that’s totally aligned and energetically rich.

We get real about the ultimate initiation into motherhood—what’s joyful, what’s overwhelming, and how our identities shift when we step into new roles. Heidi opens up about her own “dark night of the soul,” how moving from L.A. to a San Diego ranch transformed her life, and why sometimes the bravest move is to slow down, simplify, and confront everything that’s out of alignment.

We talk about the messy truth behind building a business “like a man,” why it doesn’t work for every woman, and how the new wave of feminine leadership is actually about nurturing empires, not just building and scaling them. Heidi shares intimate stories about trusting your intuition, surviving burnout, and the power of rest over relentless hustle.

In this episode, we unpack:

➤ The spiritual and practical sides of motherhood—and how to make space for new energies (and kiddos!)

➤ Why sometimes success means burning it down or taking a long pause—and how to know which is right for you

➤ The journey from achievement-driven to energy-driven—creating a business model that’s rooted in alignment rather than overwhelm

➤ Rituals and practices for rest, nervous system nourishment, and coming home to self—plus why gardening, breathwork, and even microdosing mushrooms can be part of the path

➤ The vision for a new paradigm of feminine business, collective dreams, and leading from devotion instead of just consistency

Whether you’re a high-energy go-getter, a mom in the weeds, or a woman forging your own trail in business, this conversation is all about radical honesty, deep permission, and the courage to create an authentic, wild, and totally uncontained life.

Tune in to reclaim your energy, reconnect to your mission, and remember—you really can’t be contained!

Share this episode with a woman who inspires you and let’s keep building our dream lives, together.
