199. I made a decision that didn’t make sense on paper—but made complete sense in my body. I pressed pause on an entire podcast series I’d already recorded. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on why alignment beats appearances, how to tell the difference somatically (heaviness vs. spaciousness), and what to do when sunk costs and other people’s expectations try to override your intuition.
You’ll hear the exact moment I knew to pivot, what I’m changing on the show (more potent solos; guests only when deeply aligned), and an invitation to honor the inconvenient decisions that lead to ease.
Mentioned: Ellen Yin’s and Cubicle to CEO's Bloom Together Soirée; Her First $100K (Tori Dunlap); She’s So Lucky (Les Alfred); Storyboards by Melora and Melora Hardin, Lyrik Fryer (Work Play Branding), and Amy Lacey (first to market califlower pizza and SourSop)
🙏 If this episode resonates, share it with 3 people who’d love more embodied leadership, and leave a quick rating or review. Every share helps more intuitive leaders find this show.

A powerful reframe for perimenopause and menopause with Polly Warren
Saison 6
mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 30:27
199 Midlife can feel messy—hormonal shifts, brain fog, and exhaustion can leave you wondering, “Is this it?” But it’s also a powerful turning point.
In this episode, I sit down with Polly Warren, breathwork and nervous system coach and host of the Menomorphosis podcast. We talk about reframing perimenopause and menopause as opportunities to step into your best self. Polly shares her journey from constant busyness and burnout to discovering nervous system regulation, sustainable movement, and nourishment that actually supports her body.
We also connect the dots between stress, hormones, and purpose—and why this stage of life can unlock creativity and clarity you’ve never experienced before.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, dismissed, or out of alignment in midlife, this episode will help you see the possibility of thriving in your next chapter.
198. Your work isn’t “cute”—it’s transformational. In this episode, I share how raising your standards changes everything: your business, your relationships, and your energy. Learn the difference between standards and expectations, why nervous system work makes change sustainable, and how to upgrade your life with confidence.

Episode Overview
Sometimes people treat your healing work—or even your leadership—as something “cute,” a one-off spa-day vibe, or optional. The truth? Your work is transformational. The shift happens when you raise your standards.
In this episode, I share personal stories (yes, even about coffee and peanut butter!) to show how raising standards changes everything—from your business, to your relationships, to your own sense of ease.
This isn’t about being perfect or bougie (though I own that too). It’s about choosing what actually supports you—so you can lead with freedom, clarity, and joy.
What You’ll Learn
The difference between standards (what you set for yourself) and expectations (what you place on others)
Why people undervaluing your work is often a reflection of your own standards
How nervous system capacity can block or support your ability to raise standards
Practical ways to stop offering one-off sessions and create containers for real transformation
Why reciprocity and drama-free relationships are part of your energetic upgrade
Your intuition is one of your greatest gifts—but without boundaries, it can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we explore how to set sacred boundaries so your sensitivity feels empowering, not exhausting.
I’m joined by Danielle Gaebel of Superfine Life, who blends moon cycles, movement, and mindset to help women reclaim their energy. Together, we talk about how to protect your energy, deepen your intuition, and finally feel safe saying a holy no.
What You’ll Learn
Why guilt isn’t a stop sign—it’s proof you’re breaking a people-pleasing pattern
A simple “holy no” framework to protect your time and energy
How to use the new + full moon as a rhythm for release and intention
Quick somatic resets—breath, sound, and movement—to clear energy in minutes
