Have you ever found yourself in a situation where all your plans fell apart, and you had to think on your feet? That's exactly what happened to me during a fitness class when technology took a left turn, leaving me with no music and a room full of expectant faces. On today's episode, we march to the beat of adaptability, resilience, and the unwavering strength drawn from our own backstories. I'll take you through that pulse-pounding moment, reliving how I transformed a potential disaster into an opportunity to dance to the rhythm of confidence and encourage others to lean into their strengths.
Join us as we celebrate the hurdles we've cleared and the battles we've won, recognizing that these experiences aren't just memories, but the very music that orchestrates our life's most empowering soundtrack.

Can our friends influence how we perceive our bodies? Can our self-confidence hinge on the way we talk about our bodies? These are questions that will be answered as we venture into a dialogue on body image, friends, and self-talk. It's a journey that I, as your host, am passionate about, as I believe that every woman should view her body positively. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes, research, and insights that will help us understand the intertwining threads of friendship and body image.
We'll confront the raw truth of how friends can shape our body image - the good, the bad, and the ugly. But, we'll also discuss how to surround ourselves with body-confident friends who can support us on our journey towards a healthy body image. Further, we'll delve into the power of body talk and how it can make or break our self-confidence. Lastly, we'll share some practical tips on how to shift these conversations in a positive direction. So tune in, share your thoughts, and continue the conversation.

Don't Love Your Body
Turn It Up!
10/31/23 • 13 min
Imagine chilling with your best friend over some bubbly and snacks, having a heart-to-heart on a topic we've all grappled with - body image. This episode is that conversation. Navigating the pressures women face to look a certain way and the countless hours and dollars spent on trying to achieve these unrealistic expectations. I revisit a conversation with a client struggling to love her body and shares an unorthodox approach - STOP trying to love your body.
The first step isn't about loving our bodies, but about choosing to take loving actions towards them. My ultimate goal for you is to spend LESS time obsessing over your body and more time living your life to the fullest. It's about giving yourself permission to like your body and work towards loving it at your own pace. So grab a drink sister and let's explore a healthier and more realistic perspective on body image together.
Do me a favor and if you needed this message, share it with a friend.

Turn It Up!
11/26/24 • 24 min
What unexpected impact could a chat about Cheez-Its and dating have on your well-being? Join me and my best friend, a child development and self-care guru, as we navigate the delightful chaos of our open-tab minds. Amidst laughter and randomness, we offer insights and practical strategies for both kids and adults. From the spontaneity of our conversation to the quirky connections we draw between topics, this episode is a playful exploration of friendship and life's lighter moments. Grab your favorite snack, and let's see where this wild ride takes us!
Our friendship has shaped us in ways we never imagined, and through our candid chats, we highlight how vital it is to have people who make us better. We share the value of finding joy in simplicity, whether it's through indulging in snacks or having genuine conversations. As we revisit the concept of our Pretty Powerful Girl program, we stress the importance of empowering each other while also stepping back to enjoy life's simple pleasures. The challenges of life are relentless, but so is the power of friendship to uplift and motivate us.
Ever pondered if a chatbot could replace your best friend? Our banter takes a humorous twist as we consider the quirks of AI and its cultural impact, drawing inspiration from films like "Inside Out 2." But there's more than just humor here; we introduce the "five rule" for positive living to help manage the overwhelming world of social media. Our lively discussion concludes with an invitation to embrace existence, emphasizing the value of mentorship and community through the Pretty Powerful Girl program. Tune in for a blend of humor, heart, and a few practical life hacks!

Picture this: you wake up one day and everything changes. That's exactly what happened to our guest, Christy Greenleaf, who transformed from an everyday woman to a breast cancer survivor, advocate, speaker and writer. Her raw and relatable journey, which she generously shares, forces us to reflect on the importance of advocating for our health, and understanding that our scars, be it physical or otherwise, are a testament to our strength and resilience.
Christy was diagnosed at age 42 (she's 46 now) with stage 1 HER2 triple positive breast cancer with lymph node involvement and during her journey her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has worked in the disability insurance industry for over 18 years and she suddenly found herself on the other side of the disability world as a claimant. Christy’s superpower is connection. Whether it is mentoring women, advocacy work, or being inspired through sharing other woman’s stories, Christy believes in the importance of prioritizing yourself before your health prioritizes you!
Christy's story is not just about surviving cancer, but also about thriving in the aftermath. With societal expectations of what women should look like pressing down on her, she chose to redefine beauty on her own terms. In doing so, Christy discovered a deep-seated strength within herself, and she encourages each of us to do the same. She also underlines the importance of a supportive community, because we, as humans, are not meant to navigate life alone.
The conversation with Christy doesn't stop at her journey, but extends to her advocacy work and her emphasis on self-care. She shares some practical tips for self-care, such as indulging in podcasts during daily walks and dedicating thirty sacred minutes each morning to herself. Christy's journey is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure and overcome, and we know that her story will inspire you just as much as it inspired us!
