In this episode, I’m joined by confidence coach Meg Trucano—and let me tell you, this conversation is so much more than surface-level strategy. Meg walks us through her powerful REAL Change Framework (Rebel, Energize, Align, Leap) for navigating life transitions with clarity and courage. Whether you're standing at the edge of a career change, an identity shift, or a cross-country move, her insights will help you challenge the stories you've been carrying and step into your next chapter with purpose.

We especially dive into the first stage of her framework—Rebel—which is all about uncovering the beliefs you didn’t even realize were shaping your decisions. We talk about how to rewrite the narrative, how to recognize when you’re living someone else’s version of success, and how to start honoring what you truly want. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Wait… is this even my voice, or someone else’s expectation?”—this episode will hit home.

This conversation is real, raw, and full of tangible coaching insights. Meg shares client stories, mindset reframes, and the exact process she uses to help women rise in the middle of uncertainty. If you’re feeling pulled toward something more but don’t know where to begin—this is your invitation to trust the nudge, rebel a little, and rise a lot.

What if your dream wasn’t just a far-off vision—but the exact path toward becoming your most authentic self?

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Darcy Nelson, a TEDx-featured singer-songwriter whose heartfelt melodies and spoken-word-inspired lyrics are what she calls music medicine. Darcy shares the courageous journey that took her from a corporate job in arts marketing to busking in Boulder—and ultimately becoming a full-time artist with a debut album and touring opportunities she once only dreamed of.

We talk about the power of trusting your intuition, following the whispers of your dreams, and why your journal might just be the roadmap to your dream life. Plus, you’ll hear her original song “Brave Dreamers”—a true anthem for anyone ready to say yes to the next version of themselves.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I went from dreaming about writing a book to becoming a bestselling author-and how that journey sparked the Unleash Your Story Writer’s Retreat & Collective. I’ll share how I wrote my book in just 8 months, launched a national book tour, and why I’m creating space for other women to write, publish, and share their stories, too. If you’ve ever felt the call to write a book, this episode will show you what’s possible when you say yes.

In this episode, I sit down with Emma-Louise Parkes, a former air traffic controller turned coach who is truly redefining what it means to be an introvert in business. Emma-Louise shares how she transitioned from a high-stress aviation career into entrepreneurship, and how being an introvert has actually been her biggest strength—not a weakness.

We talk about the real meaning of introversion (spoiler: it has nothing to do with being shy), the importance of energy management over time management, and how to create massive success by honoring the way you are wired. Emma-Louise even helped me understand more about my own introverted tendencies during this conversation!

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hustle harder, shout louder, or fit into someone else’s mold to succeed, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Whether you're just starting to dream about your next chapter or you’re already building your business, this conversation will help you reconnect with your energy, your strengths, and your big vision.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredible Lauren Schwab—a boudoir photographer whose work is about so much more than taking beautiful photos. Lauren shares her deeply personal journey of going from a young woman who struggled with confidence, self-worth, and identity… to becoming someone who helps others feel unstoppable in their own skin.

We talk about the life-changing moment of her first boudoir shoot, how it helped her rewire limiting beliefs, and the way that single experience began to ripple into every area of her life—from work, to dating, to owning her worth. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and said something unkind to yourself (and let’s be real—who hasn’t?), this episode will move you, empower you, and remind you that confidence isn’t something you’re born with… it’s something you build.

You don’t want to miss this one!

In this episode of Unleashing You, I sit down with Amanda from Northwoods Creative and Marketing to explore her incredible journey from 13 years in corporate to running her own thriving business. Amanda opens up about the highs and lows of working for the same company for over a decade, the emotional toll of constant change, and the pivotal moment when she realized it was time to step away and follow her own path.

We dive into the challenges of leaving behind the comfort of a secure job, the fear of starting fresh, and the divine timing that guided Amanda toward success. From navigating uncertainty to building a business that reflects her passion and purpose, Amanda’s story is both inspiring and deeply relatable. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your career or wondered if it’s time to make a bold move, this episode will give you the motivation and confidence to trust your gut and take that leap.
