Regulate the Room: Bree-Anne Gillespie on the 90-Second Fix Most Moms (and Founders) Are Missing
dimanche 3 mai 2026 • Durée 33:51
What if the reason you can't show up consistently — for your business, your kids, your husband — isn't a discipline problem? It's a nervous system problem.
This week I sat down with Bree-Anne Gillespie, founder of Positively Peaceful Parenting and the Zenden Collective, and we cracked open something nobody handed me at 26 with Anaya in my arms: emotional regulation isn't a luxury. It's the operating system underneath your entire life and your entire business.
Bree said something on this episode I haven't been able to shake: "I learned that I can regulate a room just by walking in it." And I realized — that's the whole game. As founders. As moms. As women building brands online. Whoever has the most regulated nervous system in the room sets the tone for the room.
In this episode we get into:
The 90-second nervous system reset that beats meditation, journaling, and 8 hours of sleep
Why "calm" is the most underrated leadership flex (and what it did for both my events)
The brutal moment Anaya told me, "you used to yell at me a lot, so I learned to just tune you out"
Why the first 6 chapters of any parenting book should be about YOU, not your kid
The flex that's harder than asking for help (hint: it's about who you surround yourself with)
How Bree turned regulating one home into the Zenden Collective — now scaling across schools
If you've ever felt like you're posting from panic, parenting from autopilot, or running your business from the edge of a meltdown, this one's for you.

From Nurse to Menopause Coach: How Joyce Built a Brand With Purpose
mardi 17 mars 2026 • Durée 29:04
If you’ve ever felt like your body changed overnight, your brain got foggy, your emotions got louder, and nobody handed you a manual for what the hell was happening… this episode is going to hit.
In this conversation, Marina sits down with Joyce — nurse, women’s health advocate, and founder of Rejoiceful Living — for a real, unfiltered talk about perimenopause, hormone shifts, invisible symptoms, and what happens when a woman stops dismissing what she feels and starts building a mission around it.
What makes this episode so powerful is that Joyce isn’t speaking from theory. She’s lived it. After 20 years in nursing and her own brutal experience with perimenopause, she realized how many women were being dismissed, underprepared, and flat-out confused by what was happening in their bodies. So instead of staying stuck, she built a brand, a program, and a resource hub to help women feel informed, supported, and empowered again.
This is also a deeper conversation about what happens when a woman stops trying to fit into a business model that doesn’t light her up… and starts building a brand around what she’s actually called to do.
What You’ll Learn
Why so many women think they’re “losing it” when they may actually be dealing with perimenopause
The symptoms nobody warned us about — from brain fog and inflammation to sleep issues and mood shifts
How estrogen impacts way more than periods and fertility
Why women are often underprepared for this phase of life compared to pregnancy and postpartum
How Joyce used her own struggle and 20 years of nursing experience to create an offer that actually serves
What symptom tracking can reveal before you ever step into a doctor’s office
How to advocate for yourself so you don’t get dismissed or gaslit by providers
The difference between trying to sell a product… and building a mission-led personal brand
What Joyce built in just nine months inside Brand Me On Demand
How clarity creates confidence when you finally know who you help and how you help them
