In this episode of the No Knockouts Podcast, I invite you to hit the pause button and "catch your breath." Using a simple childhood memory as a metaphor, I recognize the weight of adult life. The pace, the pressure, the expectations, they're heavy and real. Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do isn’t to push harder, but to stop, breathe, and reset.

Pausing isn’t weakness, but wisdom. Moments of rest build resilience, and choosing clarity over chaos is a form of self-love.

I'm also taking a pause as the holidays approach so I can rest, reset, and start off again, stronger.

Plus, I introduce Silence the Noise guided meditations designed for quick resets, deeper recovery, and a full renewal when life feels loud.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overextended, or overdue for a break, this episode is your permission slip. Hold on, take a breath, and give yourself some grace.

What if you stopped outsourcing your power to external sources and you trusted what is within you?

This is exactly what top 5% global podcast host and Human Design guide, Tracy Hill, is set out to do. She wants to help women understand that the answers we are looking for, are within us.

Tracy's road from Ms. Corporate America, to stay-at-home-mom, to successful podcast host wasn't an easy, straight line. There were massive identity shifts, a loss of self, insecurity, a midlife unraveling, self-exploration, reinvention and more.

Along her path, she realized:

• you can't pour from an empty cup
• when we get stagnant, depression sets it. Allow yourself to grow.
• beauty is everywhere and it often starts with gratitude
• you're not broken, you just have to remember who you are
• when you listen to your body, that's when things change.

Besides living a full life and having grown much of her own organic wisdom from experience, Tracy is certified in Human Design - your energetic blueprint. Knowing, learning, and exploring your own human design helps you unlock your potential and aligns your energy helping you move through the world with more ease.

If you've ever felt lost, numb, like a misfit, or like you're tired of "faking it," this episode is for you.

Hear Tracy's wisdom and encouraging words. Live from a place of overflow, not emptiness. Live with trust, not fear. Live with gratitude, not insecurity.

Why? Because, life is beautiful. Let Tracy help you remember how beautiful life is. Get your Beautiful Fix.

The holiday season isn’t joyful for everyone, and that’s okay. In this episode of the No Knockouts Podcast, I open up a real, grounded conversation about the side of the holidays we don’t often talk about: loneliness, stress, emotional exhaustion, family tension, financial pressure, grief, and the weight of expectations.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply not in the holiday spirit, you are not alone. This episode holds space for the people who struggle during this time of year. Consider navigating the Thanksgiving and Christmas season with self-awareness, boundaries, integrity, and resilience.

I share reminders for anyone who’s trying to balance life’s challenges while the world is shouting “joy, gratitude, and cheer.”

Do you want help navigating the holidays?

In this Thanksgiving-inspired episode, we revisit the old wishbone tradition...you know, the one that held many of our childhood hopes.

Let's explore what our wishbone wishes look like now. What can we do about these wishes, goals, and intentions, especially now that many of us are in midlife.

What are you truly wishing for these days? And what actions are you willing to take to make those wishes come true?

There's a difference between wishing for something and actually creating it.

Join me as we shift from hoping to doing, from passive wishing to powerful intention. This is a conversation about clarity, courage, and creating the life you actually want.

Making your dreams come true often starts with a simple wish.

In this episode on gratitude, my guest, Erica Morel, and I discuss Rhonda Byrne's book, The Magic, which is one book in her The Secret Series.

Erica has read The Magic many times and has implemented a permanent gratitude practice in her life, which she attributes to living a better life.

Erica and I discuss how following the recommended practices that this book suggests you do, you can shift your energy and vibe from a lower emotional state to a higher, more pleasurable frequency.

When you live with gratitude, life expands. Being in a higher emotional state from gratitude not only makes you feel better, but you attract more of what you are grateful for into your life. This is a secret in manifestation. This state feels lighter, more peaceful, fulfilling, and you realize you already have so much.

You switch from being in lack to being blessed. You switch from being in lack to having enough. You switch from feeling "not enough" to feeling fulfilled.

Other points to note:

- Lower energies that comes from judgement and criticism, though sometimes seemingly meaningless, they are costly.

- Reading this book and doing the recommended practices requires consistency, discipline, and commitment, all which change your life for the better.

- Happiness in an inside job and being grateful for what you have is a great place to start.

- Gratitude renews your spirit and is a path back to joy.

- Live in awe and appreciation.

- and so much more.

Besides discussing her gratitude practice, Erica gets deeply personal and brings her unique life stories and gratitude together to result in this powerful episode.

We both recommend this book and encourage you to develop a gratitude practice of your own.

In this short but very powerful episode, I reflect on milestone birthdays, the passage of time, and what it really means to live with intention.

Inspired by my Granny’s 91st birthday, I invite you to look ahead to the version of yourself decades from now and ask: What should I be doing NOW to make you proud?

Let your future self guide your choices today, how to live with purpose even through life’s setbacks, and how to recommit to your own comeback story ahead of time.

This is a conversation about aging with purpose, building resilience, and defining your life backwards so every day moves you closer to the person you want to become.

What if courage isn’t about being fearless or confident, but about showing up, heart racing, knees shaking, and doing it anyway?

Today’s episode is all about courage and I’m talking with Niki Sterner, a Courage Coach, podcast host, actor, comedian, and award-winning filmmaker who helps people face fear head-on and step into the life they’ve been dreaming about.

Niki’s not just talking theory, she lives it. She’s built a life and business around embracing the cringe, taking bold risks, and growing through the mess, not around it. Self-doubt isn’t non-existent for her, it’s something she overcomes and she’s committed to be disciplined enough to not let it stop her.

Niki and I dive into how anxiety and fear are not the same thing. We discuss building courage and establishing a healthy mindset to accomplish your dreams.

We discuss being stuck in a fear loop, embracing daily discomfort, and developing routines that support you on your personal growth journey. In addition, hear how Niki believes that her voice is her superpower and that she is the luckiest girl in the world.

She reminds us that growth doesn’t come from waiting until you’re ready. It comes from inviting in the cringe, stepping into the unknown, and learning to move forward messy.

This episode will inspire you to stop waiting for perfect and start living brave.

This episode is jam packed full of lessons, wisdom, and memorable nuggets. Listen in, share your takeaways with me, share the episode with your friends, and follow Niki on all of her channels.

If someone asks you what you want, you might say, "I don't know." My guest, Christine Marcario says that is not an acceptable answer.

Christine is an intuitive life coach who guides people to live authentic, aligned and abundant lives through soulful and practical tools and wisdom.

She speaks and teaches from personal experience about it never being too late to change course or take a different path. It's not about living the same day over and over, especially if you're called to more.

Christine says that the most important relationship you can have in this lifetime is with yourself. She specializes in helping other women develop their own self-relationship while leading them to align with their truth, and create a life rooted in purpose, ease, and freedom.

She mentions how people lose themselves while trying to fit in, however, "You can be a sunflower in a field full of daisies."

Listen to Christine embody authenticity, resilience, and self-love.

Join me and be uplifted as I talk to Christine about choosing inner wisdom, aligning your soul, words, and actions, and choosing personal growth.

Press play and listen to Christine and I discuss alignment, manifestation, and listen to her advice to stop being a repellant to what you actually desire.
