About the show

This podcast is for female entrepreneurs who know that when they show up for themselves, they show up better for their business. Each week, you can expect to hear from guests who will discuss self-care topics in mental, physical, and spiritual health. And since I understand that every female entrepreneur has different definitions of self-care, we have episodes that cover practical steps on how to care for yourself to the woo-woo.

You Are Not Your Emotions: The 90 Second Practice for Calmer Success with Dr. Rebecca Kochenderfer

Send us Fan Mail You Are Not Your Emotions: The 90 Second Practice for Calmer Success with Dr. Rebecca Kochenderfer What if success didn’t have to cost you your health, your peace, or your joy? In this episode of Wellness and Wealth, Dr. Rebecca Kochenderfer shares how she grew Homeschool.com to 2.2 million visitors a year “the boring way.” She did it without going into debt, burning out, or sacrificing her family. She calls it being the tortoise in business, and she makes a strong case that the tortoise is the one who lasts. Rebecca is an award winning entrepreneur, the author of the international bestseller Mindful Living Made Easy, and a researcher who studied how we handle difficult emotions. She explains why one frustrating email can set off a thousand anxious thoughts, and how female entrepreneurs can stop that spiral before it takes over the day. She also walks you through Notice, Name, Relax, Release, the simple mindfulness practice she tested with 200 people in her Calm Mind Study. It’s built on one idea: an emotion only lasts about 90 seconds when you let it move through you. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why you get to define success your own way, without the grind and hustle culture How chasing outside success can really be chasing worthiness What happens in your brain when one uncomfortable emotion turns into a spiral of thinking The 90 second Notice, Name, Relax, Release practice for managing stress and anxiety in real time How morning pages journaling clears your mind before the workday starts Why receiving is so hard for women who are natural givers, and how to check in with what you really want How mindfulness helped Rebecca go from avoiding the stage to speaking around the world Key takeaway: You are having an emotion. You are not your emotion. Give it its minute and a half, and you’ll see your business and your life through a clean windshield.

Self-Care Is the Foundation of Executive Function with Suzie Cabray

Send us Fan Mail Most women who feel like they are dropping the ball assume they have a time management problem. Suzie Cabray says the problem usually sits one level lower than that. In this episode, we get into what executive function actually is, because the term gets used constantly and almost nobody defines it. Suzie breaks it down as the self-management skills that let you start things, organize your thoughts, regulate your emotions, and finish what you began. Then she makes the case that all of it rests on a foundation of sleep, food, movement, and real downtime. Fix the base and the thinking improves on its own. We also talk about why so many women are getting diagnosed with ADHD in their thirties, forties, and fifties, what the early warning signs look like when self-care starts slipping, and a simple way to name your priority areas so nothing gets ignored until it becomes an emergency. About Suzie. Suzie Cabray works virtually with busy and disorganized adults to improve the communication and thinking skills that affect their productivity and goal completion. Her clients are professionals, parents, and college students who want to get better at communication, time management, mental organization, and follow-through. She uses a brain-based approach and walks her clients through proven steps to take action and get things done.

Food Freedom, Not Fear with Sloane Elizabeth

Send us Fan Mail Diet rules don’t just live on your plate—they live in your head and your history. We invited food freedom coach and holistic wellness expert Sloane Elizabeth to unpack how fear-based nutrition, viral trends, and moralized labels push smart people into smaller, more anxious lives—and how to step out of that loop with clarity and calm. We start by taking a hard look at diet culture’s favorite tactics: intermittent fasting as identity, carb and bread panic, and the halo of words like natural and healthy. Wendy shares a personal story about hidden allergens in a “simple” bar, reminding us why label literacy matters without spiraling into obsession. From there, we redefine healthy as personal and flexible—where taste, allergies, and sensitivities count, and where forcing “perfect” foods undermines trust. Sloane maps out a model that fuses evidence-based nutrition with spirituality, so choices are guided by both facts and felt safety. The conversation digs into family scripts like the clean plate club and using food as reward, showing how scarcity and people-pleasing shape overeating and urgency. Sloane shares her own journey from perfectionism and control to intuitive eating, explaining why the real first step isn’t macros—it’s the subconscious. By addressing root beliefs around worth, scarcity, and trust, you create change that sticks and watch it ripple into work, relationships, and self-care. We also flag red signs for entrepreneurs: constant food thoughts, purity-driven label checks, skipped events due to body worry, and rules that sound like can’t or must. If you’re ready to stop outsourcing your choices to trends and start listening to your body with compassion and skill, this one’s for you. Tune in, take what serves you, and test it gently in your next meal. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs food freedom today, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Burnout, Boundaries, and Becoming a Better Leader with Dr. Jacqueline Kerr

Send us Fan Mail Burnout isn’t just exhaustion; it’s a slow shift in your identity, boundaries, and belief system that many women entrepreneurs don’t recognize until they hit a breaking point.

Where Does The Body End And The Spirit Begin? (with Lori Krajewski)

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Body Begin Spirit Begin , we explore the powerful question: where does the body begin and the spirit begin? Lori Krajewski and I unpack the idea of dis ease as a loss of ease across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual systems. We discuss ancestral load, industrial toxins, intergenerational stress, and how childhood suppression of feelings and body signals can shape health patterns later in life. Using the body dashboard metaphor, we examine subtle symptom tracking, medical gaslighting, and what happens when women are told everything is normal while their lived experience says otherwise. The conversation moves beyond supplements into holistic care and quantum level integration, highlighting surrender, perspective shifts, and releasing fear narratives that keep people stuck. For female entrepreneurs, we address entrepreneurial dis ease in pricing, messaging, client dynamics, and leadership identity. We talk about observation, mirrors, coaching, repairing foundation cracks, and the link between self worth and sustainable success. When emotional maturity deepens and anger or drama is released, energy returns and clarity follows.
