S2 Ep #48 The Hiker Babe's Guide To Finding Your Trail- with Former Actress + Redwoods Trailblazer, Noelle Bonhomme

Where do you go to reconnect with yourself when the world as you know it feels unrecognizable? For my guest, Noelle Bonhomme, the answer was out in nature.After two decades in Hollywood as a commercial actress, model, and a successful children’s party planner, Noelle’s world unraveled — a heartbreaking series of events including the loss of her mother, a divorce, and a miscarriage sent her into a deep depression.But instead of staying there, one trail at a time, she began reconnecting with herself, her strength, and a purpose bigger than she’d ever imagined.Now a certified Wilderness First Responder and founder of The Hiker Babe, Noelle leads women into nature to help them feel safe, strong, and sovereign in the outdoors. She’s hiked in over 30 countries, built a thriving platform, and is living proof that it’s never too late to come home to yourself — or start a wildly new chapter.This conversation is filled with reminders that healing is rarely linear, but it’s always possible.What You’ll Hear in This Episode:How loss and grief cracked Noelle wide open — and how nature helped her rebuildWhy hiking became a pathway to purpose, peace, and a brand-new businessHow she created The Hiker Babe and why she’s obsessed with teaching women to feel safe and confident in the outdoorsHer favorite nature spots, and survival show dreamsThe side hustles (including pet sitting!) that supported her while building a new lifeWhat she’d tell anyone in the thick of change or heartbreakWhy You’ll Love This Episode:This isn’t just about hiking. It’s about healing. It’s about following what brings you back to yourself when everything else falls apart. If you’re navigating loss, change, or a creative identity shift — Noelle’s story will meet you right where you are and walk with you to the other side.Time Stamps:0:00 Discovering the Outdoors: A Personal Journey02:03 Finding Yourself in Times of Uncertainty06:43 Noelle's Journey: From LA to the Wilderness09:10 Healing Through Nature and Entrepreneurship16:30 The Pandemic Pivot: Moving to Mount Shasta21:53 Creating The Hiker Babe: Empowering Women Outdoors29:00 Practical Tips and Future Plans31:44 Conclusion and FarewellConnect with Noelle:Website: www.TheHikerBabe.com Instagram: @The.Hiker.BabeSign up for her email list to receive a free hiking checklist and stay up to date on events, hikes, and new offerings from The Hiker Babe.Join The Club:Follow on instagram - @hollywoodsecondactclubWebsite- www.hollywoodsecondactclub.comSign up for our Newsletter.

S2 Ep #47 "It's Complicated", Thoughts on Loving and Leaving Hollywood- with Your Host + Second Act Bestie, Alexis Walker

It’s just me today, friends! I'm sliding in at the 11th hour from San Diego with my new laptop ( Yay! Finally), Waffle on the bed, and a whole lot of thoughts about what it means to not be done, but also not be the same.After a few days back on set last week on a fantastic job, I felt something I had forgotten: The Joy. Belonging. And Distraction from "real life" a show bubble provides.In this solo shorty, I’m talking about the emotional imprint Hollywood leaves on us, the identity shifts we never see coming, and how to honor what we loved—without sacrificing who we’ve become. If you’re in a season of transition, of questioning, of deep personal growth... this one’s for you.Time Stamps: 00:00 — Intro: The Unexpected Gift of Set Life 01:52 — What Belonging Feels Like (and Why It Matters) 04:14 — The Complicated Love Story That Is Hollywood 08:34 — Identity, Nostalgia, and the Transition No One Preps You For 12:13 — The Emotional Imprint of the Industry 17:04 — What You Keep, What You Let GoJoin The Club:Follow on instagram - @hollywoodsecondactclubWebsite- www.hollywoodsecondactclub.comSign up for our Newsletter.

If you've ever wondered what the distinction is between having ADHD and being a creative thinker, you don't want to miss this episode.My guest is Jorie Houlihan, your Guide for the Dopamine Deprived™ .

S1. Ep #41 What I Learned From Traveling The World For A Year - with Former Music Supervisor + Financial Advisor, Kristin Wollam

Ready to hit the reset button and reboot? My guest today did just that! And the results were transformative. I'm thrilled to welcome financial adviser Kristin Wollam to the show this week.Kristin began her career as a music supervisor in Los Angeles, working on films such as “The Blind Side,” “Sex and The City 2”, and Tom Ford’s “A Single Man.” She eventually took her talents to the boutique music publishing company Heavy Hitters Music, where she discovered, signed, and shaped artists for music placements in film and TV. In the spring of 2013, Kristin returned to her music supervision roots, becoming a Daytime Emmy Award-nominated music supervisor for her work on The Talk. Kristin also cultivated and began teaching the Music Supervision in Film & TV course at Belmont University’s West Coast location.In this episode, she discusses the realizations that led her to step away from her career in entertainment, travel the world for a year, and ultimately find a new passion in financial planning for individuals, families, and small business-owners. Today, Kristin focuses on entertainment industry strategies and socially responsible investment planning, while also giving back to the entertainment community as a songwriting mentor to 1000+ songwriters.Tune in for an inspiring conversation about career pivots, personal growth, and what you discover when you allow yourself to let go and step away from what you know !Time Stamps:00:28 Welcome to the Hollywood Second Act Club Podcast01:17 Upcoming Pop-Up Dinner Event02:01 Kristen's Journey from Music Supervision to Financial Planning02:28 Thanksgiving Reflections and Personal News03:16 The Decision to Change Careers04:12 Kristen's Background in the Music Industry05:50 Transitioning Out of the Entertainment Industry08:30 A Year of Travel and Self-Discovery15:07 Starting Over in Chicago16:43 Entering the Financial Services Industry18:03 Advice for Aspiring Financial Advisors21:23 The Emotional Side of Financial Planning22:22 Trends in the Entertainment Industry25:49 Kristen's Leap of Faith and Letting Go31:17 Services Offered by Kristen WallumConnect with Kiristin:Website- www.morganstanley.com/kristin.wollamEmail-kristin.wollam@morganstanley.comKristin's "Masterclass" Guinness Mac and Cheese recipe- let us know when you try it!

S1. Ep #39 *Bonus Episode* Tools For Life's Bumpy Bits - with Sari Rose Barron, L.M.F.T. and EMDR Therapist

Happy Sunday, friends! Welcome to Part 2 of my conversation with Sari Rose Barron, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified EMDR therapist. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, start there to get context on Sari's journey in the industry before diving in!Sari specializes in trauma, PTSD, parenting, and adolescent therapy. She brings over 15 years of experience in private practice. She founded SoCal Individual, Family, & Trauma Therapy, where her team provides holistic, trauma-informed care across California and Oregon.In this bonus episode, Sari shares practical tools for managing the temporary feelings of discomfort that often accompany life transitions- especially for those in the entertainment industry considering career pivots. We've all been there! She discusses ways to ground yourself if you’re feeling a bit panicky and how to activate if you find yourself in a slump or stuck mode, along with resources for affordable mental health care in the Los Angeles area. Like a guided meditation, I recommend listening in a quiet space for the best experience- rather than multitasking, cooking the turkey, or driving down the 405:) We hope you enjoy this episode!**Please remember that the information shared in this episode is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice, diagnosis, or treatment**Time Stamps:01:20 Meet Sari Rose Barron: Expert in Trauma Therapy01:55 Practical Tools for Managing Life's Transitions06:10 Grounding Techniques for Anxiety12:21 Activating Strategies for Depression23:12 Navigating Financial Stress and Life Changes26:28 Seeking Professional Help and ResourcesConnect with Sari:Follow on Instagram- @socal_ift_therapyWebsite- SoCal Individual, Family, & Trauma Therapywww.socal-ift.com949-216-0234sari@socal-ift.comSari Rose Barron, LMFTResource Download:https://www.socal-ift.com/freedownloadsJoin the Club :Follow on instagram - @hollywoodsecondactclubSign up for our Newsletter.
