In today's episode, we're talking about letting go of the opinions of others and leading our intuition lead us. If you're struggling with making a decision in your life, this episode is for you.
How often have you found yourself hoping, visualizing, praying or meditating on someone (a potential partner, a company, a lender etc) choosing you? Ever notice we immediately hand our power away without even thinking twice? We immediately assume we need them more than they need us. It's time to flip the script from "I hope they pick me" to "I wonder if I want to pick THEM." This mini episode will show you how.
Welcome to our new mini series: Champagne Thought of the Day! I'm going to start bringing you a mini episode with a "champagne thought" (a powerful, effervescent, high vibrational concept) for you to take with you throughout the day. Think of these as little hot pink jewels of inspiration. Today we're talking about romanticizing our past. We've all done it. But does it serve us? Tune in to find out how to stay in the present moment and keep your mind focused on the magic of the future.
If you love fashion and the arts, you're going to LOVE this episode. I have Joanie Coyote on the show, who is a Costume History Professor, Theatre Costume Designer, and Stand-Up Comic.
Costuming brought her from Texas to New York in the 1980's where she made costumes for Broadway plays such as Starlight Express, Miss Saigon and Phantom of the Opera. She was a dresser for Les Miserable and a few other Broadway shows. Joanie stumbled into other creative outlets such as acting in a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play, Top Girls, and waitressing at the Original Improv Comedy Club which would lead to her eventually performing comedy in Houston and Los Angeles for many years. Joanie is a single mom to an awesome daughter and is committed to empowering women in any way possible.
Joanie and I talk about the rise of women in the fashion industry, how fashion has evolved through the times, the power of pink hair, our fashion predictions for a post-COVID world, and so much more. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to dig in to this fabulous conversation!

I'm back with a quick power episode on how you can be the CEO of your life, no the employee. There's a big difference between those two positions! If you're feeling overwhelmed, drained, and too available for everyone else, this episode will help you shift back into a place of power and become proactive about what's important to you so you can live better every day.
I used to hate saying no to people, especially early on in my career. I felt like I was letting someone down, then I'd get in my head and wonder if I was missing out on an opportunity, or if people would perceive me as a bitch (funny how that men don't think this way, right?) Once I started evaluating my energy, everything changed. I now check in with myself regularly and ask myself how I'm feeling. Do I feel drained? Or do I feel energized? And if I'm drained, what's the cause? Typically it's because I'm overextending myself. In this episode, I'm sharing practical tips on how to start saying no to others so you can start saying yes to yourself. Grab a notebook, because you'll want to take notes!

Turning 40 last year was a powerful moment in my life. And I knew in the months leading up to it that I was going to own my age, fully embrace my power, and walk into the next half of my life as the absolute best, most badass version of myself. I discovered Star Monroe, coach and creator of The Midlife Revolution, and instantly knew this woman would become a mentor to me. She is bold, unapologetic, and truly a queen in her own right, and I'm thrilled to bring her to you today on the show. In this episode, we'll talk about what it looks like to totally own who you are, redefine sexuality beauty as we approach our older years, and rock the f*ck out of your life.

So many women are going through divorce, but so few are actually talking about it. Although women are more empowered than ever, it seems as though the topic of divorce has become somewhat taboo, especially in this world of heavily filtered, Instagram-perfect relationships and families. In today's episode, I'm chatting with award-winning divorce attorney, published author, and founder of the Connecticut family law firm, Bauer Law Group. With almost two decades of experience, Renée is committed to empowering all women to redefine their sense of peace and purpose in their new life. Renée’s insights are sought after by local and regional media outlets, podcasts, and conferences where she speaks on co-parenting, blended family dynamics, relationships, and the art of reinvention. She is host of the Happy Even After Podcast and creator of the d-course, teaching women how to get through their divorce with their sanity intact so they can find their own version of Happy Even After. She's also been divorced twice herself, so Renee brings a personal spin to the topic along with her professional experience. You're going to love this one.
If you've ever wondered what goes on "behind the chair" then you're in for a treat! In this episode, I chat with Terra Harvell, six-figure stylist, salon owner and educator, and founder and CEO of Harper Ellis Hair Co.

About Terra:
Terra has built a flourishing business behind the chair for nearly a decade and has turned her craft into a six-figure income. Her impressive resumé includes being the Founder and CEO of Harper Ellis Hair Co and owner of Salon Five Zero Four in Fort Smith, Arkansas, but she hasn't stopped there. After mastering the artistry of the business, Terra quickly realized you must provide the FULL package in order to be an industry leader. Cue The Harper Ellis Hair Co. Academy! Her Academy has educated hundreds of stylists digitally and in cities such as Fort Smith and Nashville. Not only has she educated on her exclusive hand-tied luxury hair extensions method, but she has also shared her knowledge of all things business and marketing that led her to becoming a six-figure stylist. Her dream is to share her valuable knowledge in hopes that it will help other stylists find as much success as she has found!

When was the last time you had a difficult conversation? Did you feel confident in the way you expressed yourself?
When was the last time you shared your views on something without second-guessing yourself or worrying about what someone else thought?
When was the last time you spoke up in a meeting, set a clear boundary with someone, or asserted yourself in an uncomfortable situation?
Many women struggle with using their voice. Some research suggests that women apologize when we really should be direct because we worry about coming off as rude, or hurting someone's feelings. According to a study in the journal of Psychological Science, women have a much lower threshold for what constitutes offensive behavior. In turn, this causes us to apologize more - even when we should be assertive.
In this short but powerful episode, I’m going to share some tips on how to get crystal clear about who you are, what’s important to you, and how to put it all out there without the fear and without the guilt.

I feel more productive, creative, and inspired. And to be honest it has saved my sanity over the past few months.

Today I'm bringing you an encore episode that I feel really strongly about sharing again. It's my conversation with my friend and peer, Amanda Frances. Amanda is my most-frequent guest, I've never had anyone on the show 3 times before, so this is a big deal. She is a self-made multi-millionaire, thought leader, business coach, self-proclaimed "money queen" - and most importantly, a good friend of mine who I respect and admire very much.
I decided to share this episode again because I feel like now more than ever, we are in a time where people are looking at their lives — and at whether their relationship with money and the dynamics at play in their finances do or don’t serve them, feel good to them, or work for them.
Get a notebook because you're going to want to take notes for this one! Enjoy!
