In this short and unscripted, real-time conversation in RECLAIM Marathon, Amanda Nigg joins Olga Miller to discuss the season of "reclaiming." Amanda emphasizes how reclaiming your body, mind, and self requires a strategic game plan.

Learn about the importance of treating workouts as scheduled tasks, maintaining morning routines even on rest days, and approaching nutrition with a compound effect—starting with a high-protein breakfast. Amanda also shares a powerful exercise she does with clients: defining your "why statement" by mind-dumping the deepest, darkest emotions and struggles to create a powerful action statement for your personal journey. Finally, she offers a no-BS take on self-discipline, suggesting that a lack of it means the goal is not important enough to you.

The Reclaim Marathon is a special mini-series for Ordinary Talks with Extraordinary Women, featuring a collection of short, 10-minute conversations with women who offer honest reflections on what it means to reclaim yourself in everyday life.

Each episode explores reclamation in a different way—energy, presence, creativity, identity, boundaries, joy, or simply the space to breathe again. There’s no single definition here, because reclaiming is deeply personal and often shaped by the season you’re in.

These conversations are brief by design, yet rich in insight. Think of them as gentle pauses—small moments of clarity and connection you can return to whenever life feels full or noisy.

Whether you listen to one episode or move through the entire marathon, my hope is that you’ll hear something that reminds you:
this part of you still belongs to you.

Welcome to the Reclaim Marathon.

What if your dreams aren't just random nighttime wanderings, but a profound mirror reflecting your deepest consciousness back to you?

In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Grace Boda - spiritual guide, practitioner, and dream work pioneer - to explore the transformative power of presence and the hidden wisdom within our dreams. Grace takes us on a journey that began with a life-altering experience at age six, one that opened a doorway to lifelong spiritual exploration and a radically different way of seeing reality.

At the heart of this episode is Grace's powerful distinction between two ways of being: the "mastery-seeking mind" that craves control and certainty, and the "mystery-seeking mind" that embraces the unknown and allows transformation. Rather than treating dreams as puzzles to be solved with generic interpretations, Grace invites us to engage with them as living symbols—dynamic, personal, and endlessly unfolding.

Beyond dreams, Grace offers practical wisdom for cultivating unshakable inner peace in our chaotic world. From simple meditation practices to the transformative power of awe, she illuminates the path to accessing the wellspring of wisdom that already exists within each of us.

Key Takeaways:

Dreams as a Mirror of Consciousness – Your dreams aren't random noise; they're consciousness reflecting itself back to you, unfiltered by the constraints of waking life.

Mastery vs. Mystery – Learn to recognize and balance the rational, control-seeking part of your mind with the part that's drawn to wonder, transformation, and the unknown.

Symbols Over Signs – Discover why dream dictionaries fall short and how to engage with dream images as living, evolving symbols through active imagination and dialogue.

Creating a Worthy Vessel – Why healing past wounds, integrating emotions, and reconciling relationships creates the inner capacity to hold expanded awareness without being pulled off-center.

Growth Through Challenge – Why life's most shaking experiences often become our greatest teachers, revealing who we truly are beneath the surface.

In this relaxed, yet soul-stirring conversation, designer and artist Kelly Lynch opens a window into her world—a place where instinct, beauty, and connection weave together to create a life rich with meaning. Kelly shares how trusting her inner compass has carried her across continents, from Europe to New York, and into projects that marry curiosity with courage.

With two newly released non-fiction books, Kelly reveals her creative process as one rooted in play—not as a luxury, but as a way of life. She speaks of her love for handmade objects, the weight and texture of paper, and the timeless ritual of books, reminding us that beauty isn’t ornamental—it’s essential nourishment for the soul.

At the heart of our exchange is connection: to family, to friends, to community, and most importantly, to oneself. Kelly’s wisdom is simple yet luminous—play, connect, stay curious. These are not just creative tools, but life practices that reignite excitement and joy, even in challenging times.

🌿 Key Takeaways

• Trust Your Instinct + Embrace Play: Life doesn’t have to be scripted. Follow your intuition, experiment, and let playfulness guide you.
• Connection is Everything: Real relationships—with people, with beauty, with your own truth—are the heartbeat of a meaningful life.
• Find Beauty in the Handmade: Whether it’s a tactile book, an object crafted with care, or your own creative work, beauty grounds us and lifts us simultaneously.
• Stay Curious + Step Outside the Familiar: New perspectives and new experiences are where life begins again.
• Use Technology Mindfully: The more we untangle ourselves from screens, the more space we make for genuine connection.

📚 Resources Mentioned

• Kelly’s New Books: The Vintage Postcard Collage Kit & A History of Art Sticker Book (featuring works from renowned museums).
• Tosha Silver’s Books – gentle guides for truth-telling and lightening the mental load.
• Rijksmuseum Digital Archive – a treasure trove of public domain art Kelly draws inspiration from

In this season, I’m inviting you to (almost literally!) pull up a chair and join conversations just as they happen: honest, open, unfiltered. You’ll hear laughter, pauses, and the beautifully human moments that make every story extraordinary.

This standalone episode is a peek behind the curtain — a glimpse into the new approach, into the why we’re embracing raw, real conversations, and how - I hope - it would allow more women’s voices to be heard.

I hope very episode will leave you inspired, reflective, and connected.

Tune in and let these conversations linger with you long after the episode ends. Season 3 is here to lift voices, spark curiosity, and remind us all that being seen, heard, and understood is a gift we can give each other — one story at a time.

After an unplanned (and deeply human) pause, Olga returns to the mic with tenderness and truth. This isn’t a high-production episode—it’s a quiet, honest invitation to reflect, breathe, and begin again. In the swirl of grief, life transitions, parenting, and a growing business, she stepped away not out of strategy—but necessity.

In this gentle intermission, Olga shares:

• What led to her pause (and why she couldn’t even open her editing software)
• The swirl of real life—and the grief, growth, and chaos it brought
• A powerful three-part practice called The Gentle Filter
• An invitation to reset your focus, gently and intentionally

If you’ve been feeling scattered, stretched, or quietly overwhelmed… this one’s for you.

It's quite rare to encounter an individual who is both profoundly resonant and delightfully provocative. Kirsten Bombdiggity - yes, it is her name - is undeniably one such person. I'm deeply grateful that she agreed to share her journey of self-discovery, embracing authenticity, and cultivating joy in the everyday. Through her vibrant glasses and distinctive hair, Kirsten illustrates how our external presentation reflects our inner essence. She explores the concept of the 'favorite self,' navigates the complexities of life post-divorce, and redefines societal labels like 'old' and 'fat.' Kirsten also speaks so eloquently about the importance of embracing vulnerability, fostering connection, and the powerful metaphor of the potato—being buried before growth and possessing limitless potential. This conversation serves as a vibrant reminder to surround ourselves with the people and experiences that bring us joy, to trust our inner light, and to nurture the 'mustard seeds' of happiness. Enjoy!

In this honest and candid conversation with Autumn Lamb—a world traveler, deep thinker, risk-taker, and mother—she shares her personal journey of transformation, revealing how listening to her inner calls and making bold moves led to profound personal growth.

Our conversation explores the symbolism of masks, the lasting influence of her grandmother, and the power of finding joy in everyday moments as a way to overcome challenges and uncover one’s authentic voice. Autumn encourages listeners to start exploring their own curiosities—no matter how small.

Be sure to listen to the full episode—there’s hidden wisdom and beauty in every single minute. Yay!

Key Takeaways

• Listen to Your Inner Calls
  Tune in to your inner desires and act on them—even when it's uncomfortable. They often lead to profound transformation.
• Find Joy in the Everyday
  Embrace the beauty in small, simple moments. Joy doesn’t have to be loud to be life-changing.
• Embrace Authenticity
  Consciously shed societal and personal facades to live a life that feels true to who you are.
• Start Small, Achieve Big
  Begin with tiny shifts—simple questions or observations—that can lead to powerful discoveries and lasting change.
• Challenge Societal Norms
  Don’t be afraid to step outside expectations. Personal evolution often begins where conformity ends.
• Let Curiosity Guide You
  Follow your curiosities as a path to self-discovery, healing, and a deeper sense of purpose.

What Can You Do?

• Embrace Your Curiosity
  Choose one small thing that sparks your interest—something you've been quietly wondering about—and give yourself permission to explore it. Follow the thread, ask questions, and notice where it leads.
• Find Joy in the Everyday
  Slow down and savor the simple things—a warm cup of tea, a quiet moment, a shared laugh. These small pleasures have the power to ground and uplift you.
• Reflect on Your Masks
  Gently examine the roles or "masks" you wear each day. Are they aligned with your true self, or are they keeping you from living more freely and authentically?
• Share Your Story
  If Autumn’s journey resonates with you, consider sharing your own story of curiosity, healing, or transformation. Your voice may be the spark someone else needs to begin their own journey.
