| Stress Is Not The Problem...This Is: With Dr. Rachel Goldman | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:41:32 | |
We've all been there: a plan falls apart, a deadline shifts, or a minor inconvenience feels like the end of the world. Or, we spend way too much of our time and energy worrying about 'what if.' We usually blame the situation for how we feel, but today's guest says the 'problem' isn't what's happening - it's how we're wired to react to it. I'm joined by Dr. Rachel Goldman, a clinical psychologist, NYU professor, and a leading expert in the mind-body connection who has shared her insights alongside icons like Oprah and Mel Robbins. Ahead of the April launch of her highly anticipated book, "When Life Happens," Dr. Rachel breaks down the science of CBT and explains why we need to stop trying to 'delete' stress and start building a Coping Toolbox. This episode is a survival guide for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the weight of 'doing it all' and is ready to reclaim their peace of mind. What We Discuss: The Stress Reframe: Why stress is inevitable, but our physiological and mental reaction to it is a choice. The "All or Nothing" Trap: How to break the cycle of perfectionism when things go sideways. Building Your Coping Toolbox: Specific strategies to regulate your emotions in real time. Mindset as a Skill: Why resilience isn't a personality trait - it's a strategy you can train. When Life Happens: A deep dive into the mindset shifts needed to navigate life's messiest moments.

| The Wrong Life: Ep. 130 | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:26:24 | |
I left Spain to figure out what was wrong with me. I had the dream life. The cobblestone streets. The European light. The copper bathtub imported from England that cost eleven thousand euros. And I was miserable in ways I didn't have words for yet. So I left. Convinced I was the problem. I was wrong. In this episode I'm recording from Harrison Hot Springs - sitting in a mineral pool, in the middle of a meditation that turned into a download - and I finally understand what I was actually running from. And why leaving was the most sane thing I ever did. This is the episode for the woman who has spent years trying to fix herself. The woman who has read the books, done the work, followed the rules - and still feels like something is fundamentally broken. Nothing is broken. But something is wrong. And until you figure out what that is, you will keep building beautiful lives on foundations that cannot hold you. This is where we start. | |||
| The 'Holy Sh*t' Moment: When You Start Toppling Your Sacred Cows | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:29:52 | |
This is a personal episode for me, one that I feel led to share with you, because I know it's going to resonate. There's a moment in every woman's life when she look at what she's been worshipping - success, motherhood, marriage, being 'nice' - and realizes none of it was built for her freedom. That's the holy sh*t moment. The one where you finally stop trying to earn gold stars for suffering and start knocking over every sacred cow that's been keeping you in a cage. This is aboout burning down the old rules, setting yourself free from everyone else's opinion of you, reclaiming your wild self, and realizing that sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do...is commit a little heresy.

| The Mystic & the Machine: Merging AI with Inner Intelligence with Karen Romine | 20 Oct 2025 | 00:42:27 | |
What happens when strategic intelligence meets spiritual intuition? In this electric conversation, I sit down with keynote speaker and author, Karen Romine, to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and the unseen realms. We talk about how AI is transforming the way we make decisions and scale our lives - and how inner knowing is the missing data point most women ignore. Karen shares her journey from corporate strategy expert to discovering that she is a psychic medium (yes, both can live in one woman!), and how merging logic with intuition creates exponential growth. This one's for the woman who knows she's meant to lead, but also trusts the whispers. The woman who wants to scale her vision without abandoning her soul. And the woman who's secretly felt there's more to 'data' than numbers. We're not choosing between the mystic or the machine. We're using both.

At 42, she was burned out, physically and mentally unwell, and had thoughts of ending her life. When she finally got the help she needed, she realized that if she couldn't change her circumstances, she had to change her thoughts and emotions and take back control of her life. She found the confidence and self-worth to leave her unhealthy marriage, lose 100 pounds, and change her life. Karen's passion is helping others find this same freedom.

Every woman has her Everest - the dream that feels impossible until suddenly, it isn't. I had my Everest moment and I'm sharing what it was, how I got there, and how you can do it too.

I also talk about the most personal piece of my journey yet: why I wrote The Selfish Year, who I wrote it for, and why it matters right now. This isn't just about my story. It's also about yours. I'm pulling back the curtain on what it takes to move from a dream to reality. If you've ever needed proof that your wildest dreams are possible - and the push to finally go after it - this is it.
