O.M.G.

I’ve been feeling frenetic recently and it's been driving me bonkers! I start one thing and I can't get it done and then I start the next thing and I can't get it done and then I find myself hours later having gotten nothing done! Whenever I get into this space, it drives me wild because I start feeling bad about myself and know, through my work as a life coach, that I don't need to beat myself up about it. So then I can go further into the loop of feeling bad.

Truth is, though, there's actually something bigger at play vying for my attention that's even bigger than myself. Listen in as I share what that is and what you can do about it. It's time for an uprising, Beautiful! We get to have our time, attention, and sanity back!

What do you do when you have a completely different perspective than somebody else? You may only ‘hear’ about these people nowadays with information being so much in our own echo chambers...But here's an opportunity to have real conversations with real people who may think differently than you.

Meet Sophie Beren, founder of The Conversationalist, the go-to destination for generation Z to empower young people everywhere to use their voices for good. She created this platform when she realized that people were having conversations within their own echo chambers but not outside of those. The Conversationalist has now grown to a global movement and her generation could be the one to bring back the connection we're craving for in our world today.

Listen in as we have the deeper conversations around topics like not fitting in, cancel culture, and how we can connect from empathy instead of divisiveness. I learned a lot in this episode and hope you will too!

Divorce... Now it's my turn to talk about mine.

While I don't hold back in sharing that I've been divorced, I don't think I've ever opened up completely about the details of it. Inspired by my previous interview, it's time to answer the questions you have around my divorce.

Speaking about divorce is something we get to normalize and also normalize different perspectives about it.

My former husband and I had an amicable divorce and there is a reason for that. Tune in as I share how I choose freedom above all and how I was able to cope emotionally...so that I can be the woman who I am today.

Divorce.

This is one of those topics that is triggering in more ways than one. No woman ever goes into a marriage imagining that it will one day end...and yet, that's the case for so many women. Meet Rayesa Gheewala who focuses solely on supporting women in the divorce process.

Sharing the story of her own heartbreak after a long standing marriage with 3 children, Rayesa opens up about how it was the moment for her to find herself. How divorce wasn't an ending but a re-birth in her life.

I couldn't agree more after experiencing divorce in my own life. This is a must listen if you or someone you know in this difficult circumstance. It's time to see divorce for all that it is and have the support to thrive afterwards.

Flowing... What would it be like if your life was in flow and you felt the ease of life and saw the success also show up? Tune in to this episode to hear me discuss how flowing is the feminine way of "achieving" and how you get to follow and create a new paradigm in your life that will actually WORK FOR YOU.

This one is a must-listen especially if you can get caught up in working really hard and you're ready for something different.

​Special treat in today's episode! You're going to have a chance to meet my photographer, Ksenia Pro. She's a master at seeing you through the lens of her camera.

She joins Feminine & Fulfilled to share her best tips for you to look great in front of the camera whether you're taking photos of yourself or getting ready for a photoshoot.

And here's the best part. I didn't know this but Ksenia only came with $500 in her pocket from Russia and she wasn't allowed to work for several years. She takes us back to the hardest days of her life and shares how she found a way to find the light at that time... which has led to her successful business today.

If you're local to the DC area, run, don't walk to schedule a photoshoot with her!

I had this moment recently, while riding my bike, where I thought to myself, "Is this my life?"

I had asked myself this same question years ago but the context for the question was completely different. At that time, I asked myself this question from a place of sadness, despair, and a sense of incredible loss... wondering, "How did I get here in my life?"

This time, when I asked my self the same question, it was because, today, I feel like I'm living my purpose and using up my full potential.

Reflecting on how I got to this place because I never imagined this possibility, years ago.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a term that makes my skin crawl to even say it. However, it's practiced in over 92 countries, and even until the 1970s, health insurance in the United States covered female circumcision.

These are facts I learned from Farzana Doctor, an FGM survivor and now Activist, Psychotherapist, and Writer. Her latest book, Seven, is a rich, soulfully written novel about inheritance and resistance that tests the balance between modern and traditional customs.

This episode is full of learning about FGM, the Dawoodi Bohra community, and how patriarchy continues to be propagated by women. This is a nuanced conversation and I invite you to take a keen listen to this one.

This is THE mom episode. There's nobody better to speak about being a mom... The good times and the hard stuff, all in one. And while making you laugh while she's at it.

Jyoti is honest, hilarious, and if you've ever felt like you're the only mom who locks herself in the closet to cry, in the middle of the day, while your kids are running amuck in the background.

In today's episode, there are (A LOT OF) tears as I share my own journey. And the journey of others.

Tune in to hear why I make the case for sharing openly and moving away from keeping everything "private".
