  • My chat with the 'not so boring insurance agent,' Elena Lubenets

    My chat with the 'not so boring insurance agent,' Elena Lubenets
    Sep 23 2025
    When I first heard Elena Lubenets’ story, I thought “how ironic…an insurance agent who completed one of the riskiest activities possible.” (You’ll just have to listen to find out what this risk taker did!) But what I LOVE is how facing a very physical risk led her to face the fear of leaving her corporate career. In this episode, Elena and I chat about facing fear to follow more purposeful work, being a woman in a leadership role in a male-dominated industry, the differences between selling and educating, and a whole lot more.

  • Overcoming Fear with Merry Korn

    Overcoming Fear with Merry Korn
    Aug 26 2025
    THIS episode is for everyone! My guest, Merry Korn, shares so much information about overcoming fear…stories from her life, book recommendations, and even a list of things to do to move forward when you are afraid. I heard Merry’s story when she presented at a meeting I attended, and I STILL got chills talking to her for this podcast. I took down so many notes and takeaways. For example, I jotted down that hitting rock bottom can be a blessing, and that you just have to put on blinders and take action. Of course, you’ll want to listen to the entire episode for context and take your own notes! :) And don’t forget to subscribe to the Girl Next Door Wanting More podcast and share with your like-minded friends!

  • Don't Believe Everything You Think

    Don't Believe Everything You Think
    Jul 29 2025
    In the last episode, I talked about limiting beliefs and how we can reprogram our thoughts. (So if you missed the last episode, listen to this one and then go back and get caught up.) In THIS episode, I’m talking about CATCHING those thoughts that you want to reprogram, and I’m sharing a fact-based exercise to help you determine if the thought you have is true or false. I talk about gaslighting in this episode. I DO want to call out that I am NOT a therapist; I am simply sharing my experience. My hope, as always, is that you will find some useful nugget that you can apply to your own life and situation. Here we go!

  • Limiting Beliefs

    Limiting Beliefs
    Jul 15 2025
    In this episode, I’m talking about limiting beliefs. What are limiting beliefs? How do they keep you stuck? How can you change these beliefs and reach your full potential? Coaching and presenting on matters of mindset is my sweet spot, so I’m thrilled to be sharing this episode with YOU. I’ll give you a little explanation of why our brains create limiting beliefs in the first place. I’ll share a couple examples of my own limiting beliefs and how I work through them. And I’ll wrap it up with some action steps for how you can identify and work through your OWN limiting beliefs. Sound like a plan? Great! Take a listen!!

  • People Pleasing with Coach Charlotte Gray

    People Pleasing with Coach Charlotte Gray
    May 27 2025
    I can’t get enough of this topic…People Pleasing! It comes up all the time. Sometimes in a joking, almost self-depricating manner like, “What’s wrong with me? I say yes to everything,” and sometimes as a more serious, “I need help, I’m overwhelmed, I’m not in control of my own time.” Obviously, I wouldn’t be so invested in this topic if I wasn’t also seeking answers for myself. So, I enlisted the wisdom of Coach Charlotte Gray. In this episode, we’re discussing what it means to be a people pleaser, what the consequences of being a people pleaser are, and how to begin changing our people pleasing behavior. Listen and learn.

  • What Kind of People Pleaser Are You? A Story About Three Cats

    What Kind of People Pleaser Are You? A Story About Three Cats
    May 13 2025
    The topic that comes up most often in conversations with other ‘girls next door’ is about the degree of people pleasing we do. There is definitely a spectrum in my friend group, ranging from those who hold firm boundaries to those who bend over backwards to please others. In a recent encounter with my three cats, I got to witness three very different levels of people pleasing. The cats’ responses to a stressful situation provided me with examples of how humans react to situations based on their people pleasing tendencies. Listen in and decide which cat you relate to most.
