Hire the Damn Nanny (Because Doing It Alone Is Keeping You Stuck)]]>If you’ve been trying to do everything on your own… this is your wake-up call.


In this episode, I’m sharing what hiring a nanny taught me about burnout, support, and why so many people never finish their book. Because it’s not about time—it’s about trying to do it alone.


If you’ve had a book on your heart, this will hit.


Inside:

  • Why doing it all yourself is keeping you stuck
  • The real reason most people don’t finish their book
  • The identity shift that actually gets it done

How to Rewrite Your Life Without Burning It Down: The Goldie Effect with Michelle Hooey]]>What does it take to write and publish your first book? In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Hooey — the first published author from Book Baddies Mastermind — to talk about launching her debut memoir, The Goldie Effect.


After her daughter Goldie’s birth led to a medically complex diagnosis, Michelle was forced into a season of uncertainty, resilience, and radical trust. That experience became both a memoir and a method: The 15-Minute Rewrite™, her framework for finding clarity and regulation without starting your life over.


If you’ve been sitting on a book idea, this episode will show you what’s possible when you stop waiting and start writing.

Fuck Fear On My Bed With Me]]>Fear gets loud when you leave your comfort zone. With my new book, F*ck Fear, releasing in a week, fear has been having opinions.


In this episode, I’m sharing what’s actually been coming up for me lately—from moving back to my hometown and wondering if I’ll fit in culturally or politically… to the full spiral around my new book.

What if it’s trash?

What if no one cares?

What if people get tired of me?

What if it’s not a bestseller?

What if I just… don’t publish it?


I also read an excerpt from F*ck Fear breaking down the most common deep-rooted fears—how they sound, how they disguise themselves, and why they get louder right before expansion.

And yet, your nervous system feels fried.


We're Talkin' About:

  • Why overwhelm isn’t about your mindset—it’s about capacity
  • Why joy can feel as destabilizing as stress
  • The difference between a full life and a sustainable one
  • What it actually looks like to raise your joy threshold without burning out

The Problem with Niching (and Why It's Keeping You Stuck)]]>If you’ve been circling the same questions for months—

Who do I help?

What’s my niche?

What if I choose wrong?

This episode is for you.


In today’s conversation, I’m breaking down why the obsession with finding the perfect niche keeps so many new coaches and service providers stuck in inaction—and how waiting for the “right” answer is often just fear wearing a business-strategy costume.


We’re talking about:

  • Why niching too early can actually disconnect you from momentum
  • How “clarity” is usually built through action, not before it
  • The hidden cost of trying to get it right instead of getting it moving
  • What to focus on instead if you want confidence, clients, and direction to emerge naturally

  • Why niching too early can actually disconnect you from momentum
  • How “clarity” is usually built through action, not before it
  • The hidden cost of trying to get it right instead of getting it moving
  • What to focus on instead if you want confidence, clients, and direction to emerge naturally

How to Show Up in Your Business When the World is a Dumpster Fire with Carley Zuercher]]>This episode is pulled straight from a real Voxer conversation between me and my coach—recorded in the middle of real life, diaper change and all.


I asked the question I know I’m not the only one holding: How am I supposed to show up in my business, share good things, and keep going when the world feels heavy and overwhelming? Her response was the reminder I needed—and couldn’t keep to myself.


Carley is a magnetic business coach, host of the Tipsy Business podcast, and if you've never met her, now's the time.

You Gonna Talk About It or Be About It?]]>You say you want to write the book — but you’re not writing it.

So let’s talk about that.

This is a short, no-fluff rant for the woman who keeps circling her dream instead of choosing it. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The “what will people think?” spiral that keeps you stuck in place.


Here’s the truth:

You don’t get clarity before you decide.

You get clarity because you decide.


In this episode, I’m calling out the real reason you’re not writing—and inviting you to make a clean, grown-ass decision: go after the book, or consciously let it go and stop carrying the weight of “someday.”


I’ve written two books. I know exactly what it takes to get out of your own way.

And if you’re ready to stop doing this alone, Book Baddies is where we turn the decision into momentum.

Money, Manifestation, and Letting Go of Control with Jillian Minter]]>In this episode, Jillian dives into the patterns she sees over and over again in women entrepreneurs—the ones that choke your momentum, drain your energy, and keep you hustling harder instead of receiving more.

The Problem with ChatGPT (And Why It’s Killing Your Brand)]]>Scrolling Instagram and thinking, “Wow… every caption sounds the same?” In today's episode, we're breaking down the problem with ChatGPT—and it’s not that AI is bad, it’s that too many people are letting it become their voice.


We're diving into how people buy from people they like, know, and trust, and why perfectly polished, “Pinterest-worthy” captions can actually make you lose credibility. I share how to spot when AI is creeping into your content, how to use it without losing your authenticity, and the exact mindset shift you need to make sure your audience feels the real you—because your voice is your superpower.


Key Takeaways

  • How AI-generated content can make you sound generic—and why that kills trust.
  • Why people follow and buy from humans, not robots.
  • How to use ChatGPT as a tool without giving up your voice.

People Pleasing: How to Release Control and Start Living for You with Jenna Teague]]>This episode is pure gold for anyone ready to stop living their life based on what other people might think. I sat down with the incredible Jenna Teague—a therapist, coach, and one of my favorite humans—to talk about the truth behind people pleasing and how to finally break free from it.


We covered:

  • The fundamental function of people pleasing and where it actually comes from
  • The difference between people pleasing and simply being a kind person
  • How to stop the cycle of acting out of obligation and “shoulds”
  • The connection between anxiety, OCD, and people pleasing


This conversation will help you understand why you do what you do—and how to start showing up in ways that feel aligned, grounded, and authentic instead of anxious and overextended.


Tune in for some deep insights, a few laughs, and the gentle kick in the ass you didn’t know you needed to stop people pleasing for good.


About Jenna Teague:

Jenna Teague is a Queer-Identified Psychotherapist, Coach, and Professional Co-Creator. For the past 20 years, she has helped clients dream bigger and bring their visions to life through her thriving private therapy and coaching practice.

When she’s not guiding clients toward their big breakthroughs, you can find her by the ocean or cozied up at home with family and friends.

  • How comparing yourself to everyone else keeps you stuck in perfectionism and fear.

Water Birth in my Bedroom: Roman's Birth Story]]>What do you get when you mix a thunderstorm, a flooded basement, a birthing tub, and a gal who’s officially done being pregnant?


…apparently, my son’s birth story.


In this episode, I’m sharing the real, unfiltered story of Roman’s arrival—from the 12:45am “wait… did I just pee myself again?” moment to the second I held him in my arms. It was raw, wild, and emotional, and it ended up teaching me more about trusting my body, my timing, and myself than anything else ever has. If you’ve ever felt like life isn’t moving fast enough… like you’re trying to force things that just aren’t ready yet… or like the “plan” is completely falling apart—this story is for you.


Because sometimes the storm isn’t chaos.

Sometimes it’s just the universe clearing space for something sacred.

Go After What You Want: Chapter One of Main Character Energy]]>In this episode straight from the bestselling book, I’m handing you the permission slip you’ve been waiting for—to go after what you actually want, not what looks good on paper or makes sense to other people. I’m sharing pieces of my own journey: the dreams I was too afraid to name, the 10K-month goal that barely scratched the surface, and what happened when I finally allowed myself to dream bigger. Whether you want a tiny house in the woods, a Netflix special, or a wildly peaceful life with chickens and no gluten, I’m here to remind you: nothing is off limits unless you say it is.


Key Takeaways

  • Why “going after what you want” starts with knowing what the hell that even is
  • The sneaky reason you’ve been dreaming small (and how to stop)
  • How self-protection and fear of failure show up in your goals
  • Why clarity and confidence are built through messy action
  • The difference between what you want vs. what you think you’re supposed to want
  • A journaling exercise to help you uncover your true desires—no apologies, no playing small

How to Build a Membership Without Losing Your Damn Mind]]>Have you ever convinced yourself that building a membership is too complicated, too overwhelming, or that you need everything perfect before you start? That you need a complete course library, flawless tech setup, and a crystal-clear strategy before you can even think about launching?


In this episode, I'm breaking down the real roadmap to creating a membership that feels good, sells consistently, and doesn't drain the life out of you. And here's the thing—it's messier than you think, more straightforward than you've been told, and absolutely transformative when you stop overthinking it.


I walk you through finding your actual why (not the Pinterest version), designing a format that lights you up instead of burning you out, and pricing it right without falling into the accessibility trap. Plus, I'm sharing the most crucial secret: launch it messy, and launch it now. You don't need permission. You don't need perfection. You just need to start.


This isn't about building someone else's membership model. It's about creating something that serves your people and sustains your energy. Something that moves your members from struggling to thriving while you build recurring revenue that actually feels good.


Key Takeaways

  • How to find your real why for building a membership (beyond passive income fantasies)
  • The transformation framework that makes members stay
  • Why launching messy beats waiting for perfect every damn time
  • How to price without undercharging or overdelivering yourself into burnout
  • The tech and format decisions that actually matter
  • My pivot from energy-draining masterclasses to sustainable community building

Burnout Is Bullshit: From Disconnected to Deep Alignment with Carissa Hetrick]]>Have you ever had everything you thought you wanted—the career, the family, the external markers of success—and still felt completely empty inside? Like you were living someone else's definition of a good life?


In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carissa to talk about why so many of us are burning out even when we appear to "have it all." And spoiler alert: it's not about working less or finding better work-life balance. It's about something way deeper.


We dive into the uncomfortable truth that burnout isn't actually the problem—it's the alarm bell. It's your soul's way of saying "this isn't aligned with who you really are." And instead of numbing it or pushing through it, what if we actually listened to what it's trying to tell us?


Carissa breaks down her CORE framework and shares how she went from having the picture-perfect life that felt hollow to creating one that actually fills her cup. We talk about the beliefs we inherited before we were old enough to question them, and how changing just one limiting belief can completely shift your entire reality.


This isn't about making dramatic life changes or burning everything down. It's about getting curious about what alignment actually feels like for you—not what Instagram tells you it should look like.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why burnout is actually a compass, not a dead end
  • The difference between society's definition of success and yours
  • How to identify which beliefs are running your life (spoiler: most aren't even yours)
  • Carissa's CORE framework for rewiring limiting beliefs

]]>bc4bf55e-f11a-494a-9ca7-595c4892da4e_uwgYH7Z21sTue, 22 Jul 2025 20:33:00 GMTHave you ever had everything you thought you wanted—the career, the family, the external markers of success—and still felt completely empty inside? Like you were living someone else's definition of a good life?


In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carissa to talk about why so many of us are burning out even when we appear to "have it all." And spoiler alert: it's not about working less or finding better work-life balance. It's about something way deeper.


We dive into the uncomfortable truth that burnout isn't actually the problem—it's the alarm bell. It's your soul's way of saying "this isn't aligned with who you really are." And instead of numbing it or pushing through it, what if we actually listened to what it's trying to tell us?


Carissa breaks down her CORE framework and shares how she went from having the picture-perfect life that felt hollow to creating one that actually fills her cup. We talk about the beliefs we inherited before we were old enough to question them, and how changing just one limiting belief can completely shift your entire reality.


This isn't about making dramatic life changes or burning everything down. It's about getting curious about what alignment actually feels like for you—not what Instagram tells you it should look like.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why burnout is actually a compass, not a dead end
  • The difference between society's definition of success and yours
  • How to identify which beliefs are running your life (spoiler: most aren't even yours)
  • Carissa's CORE framework for rewiring limiting beliefs
  • Why deciding to change is the most powerful step you can take
  • How to embrace the messy, imperfect parts of building an authentic life

The Power of Self-Trust: What Happened When I Went All In on my Coaching Business]]>Have you ever realized how much time you’ve spent outsourcing your confidence? Waiting for the approval, the feedback, the green light—when deep down, you already knew what you wanted to do? In this episode, I’m sharing the moment I stopped handing my power away and finally decided to trust myself. Like really trust myself. Not in a surface-level, Pinterest-quote kind of way—but in the messy, vulnerable, courageous way that actually changes your life.


I talk about what it looked like to stop asking for permission, start keeping promises to myself, and make decisions from self-trust instead of fear. Spoiler: Everything in my business shifted when I did. Everything in my life did, too. This isn’t about being reckless or pretending you have it all figured out. It’s about building the kind of relationship with yourself where you don’t need someone else to cosign your dreams. You are the cosigner. You’re the whole damn bank.


Let’s talk about what’s possible when you go all in—on you.


Key Takeaways:

  • What it actually looks like to trust yourself
  • The subtle ways we seek validation without realizing it
  • How I broke the habit of waiting for permission
  • Why keeping small promises to yourself builds real confidence
  • The turning point in my business (and how you can create your own)
  • How to make faster decisions and take aligned action

Redefining Success as a Creative Business Owner with Claire Clausing.mp3]]>In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Claire Clausing—founder of Blooming Design Co.—a full-service design agency that helps women fall in love with their brands and show up online like they own the damn place. We’re talkin’ branding, websites, email marketing, merch, and all the strategic sparkle that turns your business into a legacy.


Claire shares what it’s been like running a thriving design studio as the execution queen—aka the person who actually gets visionary ideas off the ground. For a long time, Claire felt like something was wrong with her because she wasn’t "the big idea person." But spoiler alert: turning ideas into reality is a damn superpower. We talk about the magic of owning your lane, the dangers of DIY-ing your brand into oblivion, and why hiring experts is actually a boss move, not a weakness.


If you’ve ever second-guessed your role in your business or felt like you're "not enough" because you're not the visionary, this episode is the pep talk your inner doer has been waiting for.


You’ll learn:

  • How to fully own your unique role in business (visionary OR executioner, you’re essential)
  • Why DIY branding is costing you more than it’s saving
  • How to balance doing the client work and growing your own brand
  • What makes personal branding actually work (hint: authenticity is non-negotiable)
  • The power of business coaching and reflection (you don’t have to figure it all out alone)
  • Why you don’t need to be everybody to be successful—you just need to be you


About Claire Clausing

Claire is a branding and web designer for creators and the go-to gal for helping you look and feel your best online. She helps creators build personal brands and monetize their audiences outside of social media—because your brand should work for you 24/7, not just when the algorithm decides to be nice. She’s a mom, a theatre kid at heart, and one of the most grounded, relatable humans you’ll ever meet. You’re gonna love her.

My Cervix Had Other Plans: Manifestation Lessons from the Pelvic Floor]]>In this episode, I’m getting real about one of the most unexpected—and transformational—chapters of my life: my experience with prolapse. It wasn’t just a physical diagnosis; it was a wake-up call from the Universe. One that taught me how to trust the process, surrender control, and become the version of myself I’d been seeing in my highest vision.


We’re diving into the juicy intersection of manifestation and hard shit—because not everything that feels uncomfortable is a sign you’re off track. Sometimes, it’s a lesson that’s aligning you with exactly what you asked for. This episode will help you stop second-guessing your path and start seeing the magic in the mess.


Key Takeaways

  • What manifestation actually is
  • How to tell the difference between a manifestation and a lesson
  • The wild story of my Walmart.com pessary (yes, really)
  • What prolapsing taught me about slowing down, surrender, and being a chill mom
  • How to trust your path—even when it looks nothing like you expected

You're Not Lazy—You're Avoiding Something]]>Have you ever told yourself, “I’m just so lazy,” and then spiraled into shame and self-judgment?


You’re not lazy. You’re protecting yourself—usually from something deeper than you realize. In this episode, I’m breaking down why the “lazy” label is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves—and what’s really going on underneath the surface. Spoiler: It’s not a discipline problem. It’s not a willpower problem. It’s an avoidance pattern rooted in fear, overwhelm, or emotional discomfort.


Key Takeaways:

  • How to reframe laziness as a form of self-protection
  • Common things you might be avoiding (and how to spot them)
  • Why perfectionism often fuels procrastination
  • How scrolling and “busy work” are sneaky avoidance tactics
  • The question to ask yourself anytime you feel stuck
  • How to move forward with curiosity instead of criticism

We dive into what it actually takes for people—especially dads and parents—to reclaim their energy, take ownership of their health, and lead their families by example.


Key Takeaways

  • The four key pillars to create generational health and wellness
  • How to stay motivated on your health journey
  • The important difference between weight loss and fat loss
  • The one question I asked that stumped my husband
  • And a coaching moment I told him I was going to cut out but didn't


About Dr. Brandon Reed

Dr. Reed is committed to helping restore patients to a level of health and fitness that allows them to do what they truly love—whether that is lifting their grandkids or a crushing a 600-pound deadlift. His treatment toolbox includes techniques such as dry needling, Active Release Technique™ (ART), soft-tissue scraping, cupping, kinesiology taping, Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), joint manipulation/adjustments, rehabilitative exercise, and nutrition coaching certifications. When he’s not in the office, you can find Dr. Reed enjoying the great outdoors, exploring new restaurants and coffee shops, lifting weights, or hanging out with his wife and children.

You're Missing the Signs You're Asking For]]>You’ve been asking the universe for a sign… but are you actually seeing the ones right in front of you? Too often, we expect signs to show up in some big, dramatic way—a flashing neon billboard, a voice from the heavens, a moment of undeniable clarity. But in reality? The universe is constantly nudging you in small, subtle (and sometimes hilariously obvious) ways—you just might be too busy looking for something else to notice.


In this episode, we’re diving into:

✨ Why you’re missing the signs the universe is sending you

✨ The power of following your energy and intuition even when it doesn’t make sense

✨ How to release expectations and trust that what’s meant for you is already unfolding

✨ A little not-so-subtle nudge if you’ve been thinking about writing a book (spoiler: THIS is your sign!)

Million-Dollar Mindset Shifts with Ashley Gordon]]>Ever wonder what it actually takes to hit a million dollars in your business? Spoiler alert: It’s not about hustling harder—it’s about shifting your mindset and energy to match the version of you who already has it. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ashley Gordon, THE original quantum coach, CEO of The Quantum Coach Co., and founder of the Quantum Coaching Academy—the very program where I got certified and learned everything I know about coaching.

Ashley is a total powerhouse when it comes to helping coaches step into their Big Coach Energy and create massive transformations. And today, she’s pulling back the curtain on the biggest mindset and energy shifts that helped her scale to seven figures—plus what she didn’t have to do to get there.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ The limiting beliefs that kept Ashley stuck (and how she shattered them)

✨ The biggest mindset shifts that took her to $1M

✨ What she had to let go of to step into her million-dollar self

✨ The very first step to start making these shifts today


This conversation is like listening in on two friends having coffee—except one of them is casually dropping million-dollar wisdom that could change your entire trajectory. If you’re ready to start thinking (and earning) like the seven-figure version of you, this one’s a must-listen.

The Myth of Originality: Why Your Voice is the Only Thing That Matters]]>Ever felt like you have nothing new to say? Like everything has already been done before, so what’s the point? Yeah, let’s go ahead and smash that limiting belief today.


In this episode, we’re talking about the myth of originality and why just because there's “no new ideas” doesn’t mean you have nothing valuable to share. We're breaking down how personal perspective is everything, why you don’t need to be the first to say something to make an impact, and how Mel Robbins’ viral Let Them theory is literally just The Art of Allowing rebranded for a new audience. And guess what? That’s a good thing.


So if you’ve been holding back, waiting for the “right” idea or worrying that someone else already said it first—this one’s for you.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why originality is overrated—and what actually matters instead
  • How different voices (like Mel Robbins) bring new life to old ideas
  • The real reason you should stop waiting and start sharing your message

The Self-Care Trap: Why Doing Less Isn't the Answer]]>Ever feel like "self-care" is just another task on your to-do list or expense on your wallet? Cuz same. In this episode of Main Character Energy, I’m calling out the self-care narrative that tells us we have to stop everything or splurge to feel recharged. After doing *all the things,* I realized the problem wasn’t that I was doing too much—it was simply that I was doing too much of the wrong things. Spoiler: It’s not about DOING less, it's about BEING in your power.


Highlights & Takeaways

  • Why doing less when you're burnt out is not the answer
  • How your beliefs are affecting your ability to rest, practice self care, and make money
  • The difference between "doing" and "being" and why it matters
