In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I sit down with two bold, brilliant, and beautifully messy women—Tovah Kopan and Rielly Karsh, hosts of the We Go Boldly podcast. 🎙️ I was lucky enough to be on their show recently (which was filled with so many laughs), and today I get to welcome them into my messy corner of the world.

Both Tovah and Rielly started their professional lives as practicing attorneys, only to realize that climbing the ladder wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. 🧠💼 Tovah opens up about following the traditional checklist—law school, marriage, kids, career—and how walking away from it all (including her marriage) led her to healing, coaching, and ultimately a thriving, empowered life after breast cancer. 💪🎗️

Rielly shares her own detour-filled path: from studying psychology to working at Child Protective Services on the Arizona-Mexico border, to law school, and then crashing into burnout while working in corporate finance. She talks about finding herself again through art, politics, therapy (lots of therapy!), and eventually becoming a coach, advocate, and proud messy mom. 🖌️👩‍👦

Together, they tell the story of how they met (not on Tinder, but it’s funnier to pretend), and how one text—"Wanna start a podcast?"—launched a deep friendship and full-blown business. The We Go Boldly podcast was born out of a need to explore why women were disproportionately affected during the pandemic, but quickly grew into something bigger—something transformational. 🚀

We talk about the pressures of traditional success, how soul-crushing it can be to "make it" only to realize you don’t want to be at the table you worked so hard to reach. We unpack the heavy question kids get asked—"What do you want to be when you grow up?"—and why a better one might be, "How do you want to help the world?" 🌍💡

From law to leadership, boundaries to burnout, perimenopause to people-pleasing, we cover it all. Rielly and Tovah get real about setting boundaries (or learning how!), honoring your needs, and redefining success through the lens of authenticity and self-trust. 🛑➡️❤️

They also share how their podcast grew into a coaching business and how they’re now part of the amazing Power Moms Network, supporting other women who are ready to shake things up. Whether you're running for office, raising a family, or figuring out your next chapter, this episode is for you. 🗳️👑🔥

So grab your coffee cake (or something stronger) and tune in. Let’s normalize the mess, celebrate the strength, and turn our trauma into power. Because as we all agree—the mess makes us funny... and fierce. 😘💥

💥 In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m diving headfirst into the wild, weird, and downright messy world of TikTok wellness trends!

👀 From slicing up nicotine patches for “weight loss” and “mental clarity” (yes, seriously), to dabbling in peptide therapy that isn’t “O”, to mixing up that magical little potion everyone’s calling the cortisol cocktail—I’m breaking it all down.

💣 Are these hacks helpful, harmful, or just hype? I spill the tea (unsweetened, obviously) and give you the truth about these trending tactics—because you know I’m all about real results, not shortcuts.

✨ I’ll talk about what might work, what’s a red flag 🚩, and why good ol’ fashioned hard work, consistency, and accountability will always win over any overnight gimmick.

So grab your sparkling water, get comfy, and let’s decode these trends together—because wellness doesn’t come in a patch, a powder, or a potion. It comes from doing the work... with a little sass and messy sparkle, of course. 💅💪

On this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant and inspiring Elizabeth Bruckner—acupuncturist, author of Homesteader Mindset, and founder of the Create Wellness Project. 🌱💫 Her story is one of grit, growth, and getting her hands dirty (literally).

We dive into her powerful journey of navigating chronic illness and the surprising ways homesteading, nutrition, and tiny daily habits became her medicine. 🐓🥕 She shares how ditching vegetarianism, tackling thyroid issues, and facing Epstein-Barr head-on led her to a life rooted in wellness and soil.

From five-minute habits to the healing magic of Chinese herbs, Elizabeth breaks down what it really means to take charge of your health—starting with small, doable shifts. 🧘‍♀️✨ We talk about the connection between nature and mental wellness, how stacking habits can create massive momentum, and why gratitude might just be your secret weapon. Oh—and yes, we even geek out on pulse diagnosis and kefir. #WellnessNerdsUnite 🧪🧡

Whether you're new to holistic healing or looking to level up your wellness game, this one’s for you. Because sometimes, the road to healing starts in the dirt.

In this part 2 episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I continue the awesome conversation with Heather Stewart.

We laughed (a lot), got a little emotional, and connected over the truth that sometimes our biggest “messy moments” aren’t the ones we expect. Heather thought hers would be the stroke, but nope—it was that soul-crushing accounting job that did her in 😂 And I so related because, hello... heart attack anyone?

This episode is a masterclass in reinvention, resilience, and how to lean into life’s wild plot twists. If you’ve ever felt stuck, misaligned, or like you’re walking through chaos with a blindfold on—this one’s for YOU. 💥

Until next time… keep it messy, friends! 🌀✨

In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I sat down with transformation facilitator and fellow podcaster Heather Stewart—who I originally met when she invited me on Back to Me, her podcast. Fast forward to now, and Heather is absolutely thriving with her signature program Thriving Life Method and her mission to help people Illuminate Their Worth. And wow—this convo was EVERYTHING. 🔥

We started off busting the myth of “work/life balance”—you know, that magical idea that everything can be perfectly even and stress-free if you just read the right self-help book. 🙄 Heather flipped that narrative and introduced the idea of harmony instead. Harmony is about movement, flow, and being able to shift as life does. Because let’s be real: life doesn’t stay still, and neither should we. 💃

Heather got vulnerable about her journey from burnt-out CPA to soul-searching world traveler. From sitting in a corporate office moving million-dollar numbers around like puzzle pieces to nearly running a red light on the way to yoga (yep—because hustle culture can be that toxic), she knew something had to change. So, she blew up her entire life—quit her job, sold her house, got divorced, and booked a one-way ticket to India. 🧘‍♀️✈️

Her messy transformation didn’t stop there. In 2021, she suffered not one, not two, but three strokes—during a time she was already living a healthy, grounded life. But instead of spiraling, she got still, listened, and asked the universe what she was supposed to learn. And what emerged? A renewed sense of purpose, her podcast, and a deep realization that people don’t just need physical healing—they need emotional and spiritual support, too. 💖

We laughed (a lot), got a little emotional, and connected over the truth that sometimes our biggest “messy moments” aren’t the ones we expect. Heather thought hers would be the stroke, but nope—it was that soul-crushing accounting job that did her in 😂 And I so related because, hello... heart attack anyone?

Until next time… keep it messy, friends! 🌀✨

On today’s episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m joined by Tim Thomas—veteran, breathwork practitioner, and founder of Breathwork in Bed. And yes, we dive into what that actually means and why this simple practice is radically transforming lives.

Tim shares his story of navigating a childhood marked by undiagnosed dyslexia and hyperactivity, eventually discovering his own power through physical movement, martial arts, military service, and, ultimately, breathwork.

You’ll hear us riff on:

• Why some of the stinkiest “mess” in life becomes the best fertilizer for growth 🌱
• How fatigue and isolation are often the silent root causes of suffering—and the two most dangerous states we can remain in
• The importance of reclaiming your energy, treating it like currency, and investing it wisely

Tim also opens up about working with veterans, the mental health crisis that stems from unresolved fatigue and aloneness, and how powerful it is to simply break isolation. We get into sovereignty—what it means to take ownership of your healing, your rest, and your ability to generate energy rather than steal or borrow it from others.

💥Ready to reclaim your energy? Then this one’s for you.

What if I told you that doing all the right things might be exactly what’s keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m ripping the bandaid off the performative wellness world and digging into a question that’s been simmering for a long time: Why are we still sick in a world overflowing with solutions? From the powders to the protocols to the morning routines with five steps before breakfast, we’ve lost touch with what healing really means. I’ve lived it. I’ve done it all. And guess what? It wasn’t the trendy stuff that moved the needle—it was the messy basics.

Join me as I break down the toxic pressure of “doing wellness right,” the guilt spiral we fall into when we miss a meditation or skip a supplement, and how the $300 wellness haul can’t make up for a dysregulated nervous system and emotional exhaustion.

This isn’t about bashing wellness—it’s about reclaiming it. About stripping away the noise so you can start tuning into your body, your needs, and what actually works for YOU.

So if you’re sitting in a pile of powders and promises and wondering why you still feel like crap—you are not broken. You're buried under noise. Let’s change that. 💥
