We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it?

In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times. Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing.

Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it
✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle
✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing
✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making
✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power)

Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Let’s be real: some of us aren’t just experiencing burnout—we’re perfecting it. Overachieving our way into exhaustion. Piling on responsibilities like it’s an Olympic sport. And believing that if we just get it right enough, peace and happiness will magically follow.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, CEO, speaker, entrepreneur, wine and candle maker (yes, really), and reality TV alum—basically a walking resume of overachievement. But she’s also someone who knows what it feels like to chase perfection at the expense of joy—and how to break free from it.

Her book, Joy Prescriptions, explores the cost of perfectionism and what it really takes to reclaim your happiness. Together, we’re talking burnout, boundaries, high-achieving pressure, and how to stop proving your worth through productivity.

In This Episode, We Cover:

✅ What perfectionist burnout really looks like (and why it’s so sneaky)

✅ The hidden cost of tying your identity to achievement

✅ Why rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement

✅ Practical ways to redefine success without burning out

If you’re tired of proving, pushing, or performing your way to “enough”—this one’s for you.

Feeling exhausted, anxious, bloated, foggy, or just off—and being told “it’s normal” because you’re aging or just a woman? Yeah, no. It’s not normal. And it’s definitely not something you have to accept.

In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Dr. Erika Schwartz, a pioneer in bio-identical hormone therapy and founder of Evolved Science, where she’s flipping traditional medicine on its outdated, symptom-chasing head. With over 30 years of experience, eight best-selling books, and a global reputation for helping people reclaim their health, Dr. Erika is here to tell us: your hormones matter. And ignoring them could be the reason you feel like garbage—even if all your labs come back “normal.”

We’re talking real solutions, not band-aids. Actual prevention, not prescriptions. And a whole new way of thinking about what your body needs to thrive—especially as you age.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ Why traditional medicine is failing women—especially around hormones
✅ The truth about hormone imbalance (and how to fix it)
✅ What bio-identical hormone therapy really is—and why it matters
✅ Signs your hormones are out of whack (that your doctor might miss)
✅ How to advocate for yourself in a medical system that often won’t
✅ What true health optimization looks like (spoiler: not another pill)

It’s time to stop accepting exhaustion as a fact of life and start demanding answers—and better care. Because your hormones aren’t the problem. They’re the starting point to feeling like yourself again.

Clutter isn’t just a pile of stuff on your desk or a closet that won’t close—it’s a drain on your energy, your focus, and your peace of mind. And if your physical space feels chaotic, chances are something deeper is, too.

In this episode, I’m joined by Shira Gill, globally recognized home organizing expert and author of LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life. Shira has helped thousands of people—from busy moms to top executives—cut through the chaos and create lives that actually feel good to live in.

We talk about why organizing isn’t about perfection (thank goodness), how your home reflects your inner world, and how simplifying your life is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. This is your permission slip to let go—of clutter, of pressure, of things that aren’t serving you—and create space for what actually matters.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ The connection between clutter, stress, and mental overwhelm
✅ How to edit your life with compassion and clarity
✅ Why “lowering the bar” can be the key to more joy
✅ How to use decluttering as a path to self-respect and confidence

Clearing physical space clears mental space. And when we stop trying to keep up with the clutter—literal and emotional—we make room for peace, creativity, and freedom.

Let’s be real—being a woman isn’t either empowering or exhausting… it’s both, often at the same damn time. And the parts we’re told to keep quiet about? The messy, emotional, deeply human ones? Those are exactly the conversations we need to have out loud.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Zucker, psychologist, writer, and creator of the viral #IHadaMiscarriage campaign. She’s the author of I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, A Movement, and her newest book Normalize It: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives is a battle cry for truth, healing, and visibility.

We talk about the power of saying the quiet parts out loud—especially when it comes to miscarriage, reproductive health, grief, and the impossible expectations women are expected to carry. This is for anyone who’s tired of pretending everything’s fine and ready to tell the whole story—not just the polished parts.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ The emotional toll of silence, stigma, and “looking fine”
✅ Why normalizing miscarriage, loss, and vulnerability matters
✅ The importance of speaking up (even when it’s uncomfortable)
✅ Why telling your story is healing for you and for others

When we normalize what’s real, we free ourselves—and each other. Let’s stop hiding our stories and start healing through them.

We’ve been told self-care is selfish, indulgent—even unnecessary. That being a “good woman” means putting everyone else first and clapping for ourselves last. But what if real self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a radical, world-shifting, life-saving act of rebellion?

In this episode, I’m joined by Shelly Tygielski, author of Sit Down to Rise Up and founder of Pandemic of Love, a mutual aid movement that’s provided over $100 million in direct aid. Named one of Mindful.org’s “12 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement,” Shelly is here to help us rethink everything we thought we knew about self-care.

We talk about the toxic messages that keep women burned out and worn down, the myth of positive thinking, and how showing up for ourselves—fully and unapologetically—is the foundation of showing up for anyone else. Because self-care isn’t about escape. It’s about power. It’s about choosing yourself on purpose.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ Why self-care is an act of activism—not selfishness
✅ The real reason “positive vibes only” can be toxic
✅ How to opt out of burnout culture and still get sh*t done
✅ The difference between self-soothing and true self-care
✅ Creating community care alongside personal care
✅ What it really looks like to walk away from the tightrope (and the circus)

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a revolution. And it starts with you.

We unpack what it means to be an Innovator, Maven, or Authority (I’m an Authority, for the record), and how these archetypes can be your secret edge in work and in life. Think of this as astrology, upgraded—less “woo,” more who you are and how to own it.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ How astrology can support your personal growth and career clarity
✅ The 3 I*AM leadership archetypes—and how to find yours
✅ What a birth chart actually reveals about your natural gifts
✅ Using astrology as a practical tool for decision-making
