- 33 minutes 40 seconds246. The Life Mastery Method Part 1: Can People Really Change?
Can people really change? It's a question we've all asked. Whether you've watched someone repeat the same self-sabotaging patterns, or you've struggled to transform your own life, there are times when real, lasting change can feel impossible.
This episode is the first in my 6-part series teaching you the Life Mastery Method, and the first thing I want you to know is that change is possible. Anyone can change their life for the better, including you, and today we’re exploring what that really means and the circumstances needed for change to happen. I've also created a companion worksheet to help you follow along with this episode, which you can download here.
Change doesn't come from mindset alone, even though your thoughts are an important part of the process. Lasting change happens when you understand your mind, emotions, nervous system, and how they all work together. Transformation can feel difficult because we often focus on changing our thoughts without realizing that our emotional world and sense of safety play an equally important role.
This is just the beginning of the journey, and I can't wait to dive deeper into the Life Mastery Method over the coming weeks. Let's get started!
What you’ll learn:
- A meaningful conversation I had with my son that reminded me why lasting change is always possible
- How the Transtheoretical Model views change as an ongoing process rather than a single event
- Why understanding your emotional patterns and nervous system is a powerful part of transformation
- How your relationship with yourself is the most crucial piece of creating change
- Why your environment matters more than willpower when it comes to lasting change

22 July 2026, 10:00 am - 32 minutes 33 seconds245. The Ripple Effect: Changing Lives One Meal at a Time with Lisa Stender
Giving back doesn't just change someone else's life–it changes yours too. When you make an impact on the lives of others, you often walk away with something just as meaningful.
In this conversation, I'm joined by Lisa Stender, COO of Feed My Starving Children. The organization has provided billions of nutritious meals to children around the world through volunteers, and after volunteering myself, I wanted to share their mission with you. Lisa gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Feed My Starving Children is helping communities overcome hunger and build pathways toward long-term stability one meal at a time.
While access to food, education, and resources differs around the world, we are all connected by our humanity. Every parent wants their child to thrive, and every person wants to believe that something better is possible. The reminder that we are far more alike than we are different is one of the most important takeaways from this conversation.
Whether you're looking for a simple way to make an impact or you want to experience the benefits of volunteering for yourself, this episode will leave you inspired by what can happen when you give back to your community and to those around the world. Because service transforms both the people receiving help and the people offering it. Let's dive in!
What you’ll learn:
- How one meal from Feed My Starving Children contains all the nutrients someone needs for an entire day
- What hunger is really like and how it affects children's health, development, and learning
- What a typical volunteer with Feed My Starving Children is like and what you can do in just a couple of hours
- The benefits of volunteering and why coming together as a community creates a greater impact
- Why helping others can transform your own life as much as the lives of those you serve

15 July 2026, 10:00 am - 42 minutes 52 seconds244. Progress Not Perfection: Lessons from a Sobriety Journey with Jensen Rapp
One day at a time, one practice at a time, one decision at a time. That’s how you create the life you want. There’s no shortcut, whether you’re changing your relationship to your work, communicating better in your relationships, or on a sobriety journey. This episode is a reminder that you can do it.
Today, I'm excited to have a guest from my past. I recently reconnected with Jensen Rapp, whom I hadn't seen in years, because he published a workbook to help people begin and stay on a sobriety journey. He's here to share his story and the practices that have helped him maintain 15 years of sobriety after 16 years of drinking every day.
What we talk about in this episode doesn’t just apply to alcoholism. If you’ve experienced any type of addiction, or you’ve become aware of certain habits that are keeping you from living your healthiest, most fulfilling life, this is for you. No matter what your struggle is, making a change comes down to so many of the same principles you’ll hear Jensen talk about. We explore how you can make decisions that are in your best interests, truly be with yourself in the good, the bad, and the ugly, and support yourself in your growth through it all.
There is hope and possibility in any situation you’re facing right now. No matter how long you’ve done something, no matter how deep you are, there is always the opportunity for change and support to help you get there. Let’s dive in.
What you’ll learn:
- How to find your “X-factor” and think about what your life would look like without it
- How to handle your emotions when they come back after being numb for so long
- Several daily practices to help you process your emotions and be more present in your life
- The “think twice” philosophy that Jensen practices every day to live with more intention
- Why it’s important that you don’t make the decision to change until you feel ready
You can read the full show notes here.

Whether you're facing a fear, contemplating a big decision, or trying to grow your business without expecting too much of yourself, Jennie's journey will remind you that small steps can add up more than you imagine.
What you’ll learn:

17 June 2026, 10:00 am - 43 minutes 19 seconds242. Nervous System Regulation Doesn't Need to be Complicated with Dr. Kathleen Kelley
When people think about stress management, it’s often through the lens of “getting rid of stress.” But stress itself isn’t the problem, and in many ways, it actually helps move us forward. The problem is staying stuck in stress all day long without giving your body moments to recover. Learning how to bring yourself back to center before overwhelm takes over is essential, and it starts with nervous system regulation practices you can easily do every day.
My guest today is Dr. Kathleen Kelley, a professor of physical therapy, board-certified neurological clinical specialist, certified yoga and meditation teacher, and life coach. She draws on her extensive experience and education in her coaching practice, helping busy clinicians and high-achieving professionals use simple regulation tools to feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their nervous systems.
In this episode, we discuss Dr. Kelley’s many practical nervous system regulation techniques, why stress release matters more than avoiding stress altogether, and the connection between regulation, emotions, and creating intentional change in your life.
This conversation is an invitation to notice how often you give yourself moments of pause, care, and reconnection throughout the day, and to consider how you may be able to give yourself more. The key to a more spacious life is practicing these small moments of regulation and self-connection one day at a time. Let’s get started!
What you’ll learn:
- Simple nervous system regulation tools and techniques that can be used on the fly
- Why nervous system regulation happens through small moments of reconnecting with yourself throughout the day
- How taking care of yourself helps you feel better while also modeling regulation for others
- The neuroscience behind why dysregulation cuts you off from clear thinking
- How manifesting works as a combination of attention, intention, and aligned action that primes the nervous system
You can read the full show notes here.
About Dr. Kathleen Kelley
Dr. Kelley is a professor of physical therapy at Quinnipiac University. She has taught neurologic rehabilitation, balance, falls, and vestibular dysfunction. Currently, she teaches both gross anatomy and neuroanatomy. Dr. Kelley received her BS in physical therapy from the University of Connecticut, her MS in neurology from Boston University, and her Doctorate in education from the University of Sarasota. She is also a board-certified neurological clinical specialist (emeritus), certified yoga and meditation teacher, and a certified Life Coach. Dr. Kelley’s passion for neurology, brain health, wellness, and self-care led her to dive deeply into the neuroscience of stress, stress management, and best practices for brain health. Dr. Kelley applies modern neuroscience to develop practical tools for regulating the nervous system for both educators and clinicians. When not teaching, you can find Dr. Kelley on her yoga mat, walking her beloved rescue dog Corkey, or knitting while watching reruns of Star Trek.

3 June 2026, 10:00 am - 41 minutes 52 seconds241. Your Story Matters: The power of being seen and heard with Matt Kjar
Excellent coaching helps people understand themselves, feel their emotions, recognize patterns, and create meaningful change in their lives. But how do coaches communicate the depth of their work in a way that actually reaches people? What does it really mean to be seen and heard beyond simply posting content or recording videos?
In this episode, I’m talking with Emmy Award-winning video producer Matt Kjar about video storytelling, ethical marketing, and how to tell better stories. Matt has worked in television and video production for more than 20 years, including reality television, documentaries, commercials, and Olympic coverage. After he discovered coaching and experienced its impact firsthand, he began using video storytelling to help coaches build trust and create a deeper connection with the people they serve.
Matt’s understanding of the technical side of storytelling and how coaches create transformation changes everything when it comes to marketing for coaches. He knows that the most effective storytelling isn’t just about polished marketing, but staying aligned with your values and being confident while sharing your message.
Video storytelling can be a powerful bridge between coaches and the people seeking their support, helping coaches communicate not just what they do, but who they are. Let’s dive in!
What you’ll learn:
- Why video storytelling goes far beyond camera quality or microphone levels
- How ethical marketing and the intention behind your content matter so much
- Why coaches have to learn to see and trust themselves before showing up for others
- How to access the ability to be seen and heard on deeper and deeper levels
- How storytelling helps coaches connect with the people who need their work most
You can read the full show notes here.
About Matt Kjar
Matt Kjar helps coaches and entrepreneurs make videos that change business and lives. He began his video and film production journey in front of the camera, as a child actor. He soon realized that the ones who really make the magic happen are behind the camera, so he decided to focus on making magic. He’s had the opportunity to interview A-list celebrities during the Sundance Film Festival, work internationally with the Olympics through 11 Games (He just got back from Italy), and has 2 Emmys from a story focused docu-follow series. Matt is most passionate about helping people change their lives which lead him to become a certified Life Coach. He wants to help you (as Steve Job’s said) put a ding in the universe. 3 fun facts about Matt: He is the 7th of 8 children. He was his high school mascot “Wally the Wildcat,” and could do a roundoff-back-flip with the massive mascot head. He and his wife sold everything they owned and traveled around the US with their four children for a year.

20 May 2026, 10:00 am - 20 minutes 42 seconds240. You Can Stop Doing Too Much
How much space exists between the busy moments in your day? Do you have space in the morning to start your day in a way that feels intentional and grounded? Is there space to decompress, reconnect, and actually experience the kind of deep rest you need at the end of your day?
These are the questions I invite you to sit with in this episode. Whether you feel resistance or a longing for something different as you think about them, your answer may help you see how doing too much has become your norm. This pattern impacts your life balance more than you realize, but a better quality of life is possible—and you’re allowed to have it.
If you are someone who overworks, overdoes, and feels the pressure to constantly take care of everything, I want you to consider what could change if you allowed yourself to lay down even a fraction of what you think is your responsibility. What would shift if you made space just to take care of you?
When your mental, physical, and emotional needs are not being met, it becomes impossible to show up fully in your life. But when you take even a small step toward giving yourself the space and time that you need, you gain clarity and the ability to move forward with creating the life, business, and relationships you want. Let’s dive in.
What you’ll learn:
- Why doing too much becomes a pattern for high-achieving women
- How my own recent experiences led me to realize I needed more space in my life
- Why taking more space and downtime for yourself can feel scary
- How honoring your emotional needs allows the best parts of you to shine
- Why making even a little more space in your life is a powerful step toward more peace

6 May 2026, 5:30 pm - 33 minutes 6 seconds239. Why Your Relationship with Money Feels So Charged with Hanna Bier
Money can be such a sensitive, emotionally charged topic. It impacts our relationships, plays a key role in our businesses, and shows up in the tiny details of our daily lives. No matter what your current relationship with money is, there’s often much more beneath the surface shaping it than you may realize.
In this episode, I’m joined by money coach Hanna Bier, who works with ambitious, creative women to redesign their relationship with money and become more open to receiving it. Her approach is about creating a sense of safety, ease, and trust around money so it can truly support the life you want to build. If you’re constantly feeling pressure, scarcity, or uncertainty in your relationship with money, this conversation offers simple reframes and ideas to bring more peace as you move toward financial freedom.
Many women are incredibly capable in every area of life, yet still feel stuck or frustrated when it comes to money. Not because they aren’t smart or driven, but because of the emotional patterns, beliefs, and past experiences shaping how they relate to it. When you begin to understand that, you can start to shift how you see money and build a relationship that feels more supportive.
You have a choice in how you feel and behave with money. When you begin making small changes that align with the life you want, it can make all the difference. I can’t wait for you to hear how that’s possible. Let’s get started!
What you’ll learn:
- How money goes all the way to the core of who we are beyond numbers and investments
- Three ways strained relationships with money show up based on early experiences with love
- A shift you can make around the thought “I want more” to ease your relationship with money
- The difference between being a great earner and becoming someone who actually has money
- Why allowing yourself to receive is essential to creating financial freedom for women
You can read the full show notes here.

29 April 2026, 2:45 pm - 38 minutes 53 seconds238. Self Connection is the Key to Masterful Coaching with Maria Hendershot
Self-connection is at the heart of holistic coaching. In order to see the whole picture of your clients as human beings, you have to understand your own mind, emotions, and nervous system and how they impact you both personally and professionally. Even if you’re not a coach, connecting to yourself is essential to connecting more deeply in your relationships and with the world around you.
That’s why I am so excited about this conversation with Master Coach, Maria Hendershot. Maria and I have known each other for a while and have worked together in different capacities, including as co-authors on our best-selling book, She Rises. She took part in my holistic Master Coach Training program, and I’ve had the opportunity to witness her become so masterful in her ability to articulate coaching concepts that truly help others transform.
Like many of us, Maria was initially trained in a cognitive approach focused on how thoughts create feelings and shape our results. Through deeper training, she began to understand what was happening in the nervous system, what was getting stored in the body, and why patterns get recycled. Today, you’ll hear how that understanding opened a whole new space for growth, both for herself and for the women she works with.
As you listen to this episode, I hope you take in how important it is to be kind and gentle with yourself, and to really see and accept all of you. When you can do that, you create space for greater wholeness, deeper self-connection, and more meaningful, lasting change in your life and in how you support others. Let’s dive in!
What you’ll learn:
- How Maria combines different methodologies and tools to support transformation
- Why a mindset-only approach can only take you so far before it starts working against you
- How self-connection impacts your ability to create change in every area of your life
- How Maria uses her training as a Tiny Habits coach to support aligned action
- Why celebrating small wins isn’t frivolous, but essential to shaping new patterns

22 April 2026, 10:00 am - 19 minutes 58 seconds237. You Create Real Life Balance When You Feel Whole
If you’ve recently found yourself feeling spread thin, overwhelmed by how much you have on your plate, and not even sure how you got here, this episode is for you. We all feel discouraged by our life balance at times, and today I’ll walk you through a framework that will help you find your way back into alignment. Here’s the key: sustainable success doesn’t come from doing more or planning better—it comes from understanding yourself so you can experience more peace and feel more whole.
The idea of wholeness over hustle is something I always come back to. So many high-achieving women find themselves stuck in the cycle of overwhelm, trying to hold it all together while still achieving results in their lives and businesses. But the most amazing results happen when you have the mental, emotional, and physical support you need to truly be at your best for yourself and others. In this episode, we explore how this connects to the four fundamentals of lasting change so you can begin creating more life balance in a way that actually works for you.
When you’re operating from a place of fear or stress, it’s harder to access your highest level of thinking, your creativity is limited, and your decision-making is compromised. When you learn how to understand your mind, your emotional world, your nervous system, and your approach to action, everything starts to shift. You move out of survival mode, and lasting change becomes possible.
This episode is an invitation to take a closer look at your life balance and begin creating a more sustainable way forward. When you bring these four fundamentals to the forefront and find a more holistic approach, everything becomes more manageable—your life, your business, and the way you show up in both. Let’s get started!
What you’ll learn:
- How the framework of the four fundamentals of lasting change can help you create more peace in your life
- Questions to ask in order to understand your mind, emotions, and nervous system more deeply
- What happens when you ignore your emotional needs or stay disconnected from your nervous system
- Why some action plans just act as another way to expect perfection and spread yourself thin
- How to shift into a more supportive and sustainable way of showing up in your life and business

When we talk about life mastery, we’re really talking about how we build a life, relationships, and experiences that allow us to feel more joyful and fulfilled. For many of us, our business is a huge piece of that. It’s how we create the life we want, and overcoming business challenges is part of the journey.
In this episode, I’m joined by Laurie Stirling, an award-winning Business Ops Strategist who helps business owners understand what’s actually happening behind the scenes of their business, including where they’re getting stuck, why, and how to move past it. Whether you’re a solopreneur, running a larger business, or simply someone who is ambitious about your life, this conversation will meet you where you are and help you better align your business with your ideal life.
Laurie walks through the five key bottlenecks in business, from brand awareness and bringing people into your world, to nurturing leads, sales and conversion, capacity, and cash flow. This conversation will help you move beyond discouraging assumptions like “this isn’t working” or “I don’t know how to do this” and toward a clearer understanding of your business so you can make informed, intentional shifts.
Bottlenecks in business don’t mean you’re failing. They mean you’re expanding to the next level. So if you’re feeling stuck or discouraged, let this be a reminder: nothing has gone wrong. You’re just being invited into your next stage of growth. Let’s get started!
What you’ll learn:
- How to identify which of the five bottlenecks is actually slowing down your business
- Why hitting an income ceiling is often a sign of a capacity or time constraint
- How to identify if what feels like a cash flow problem is actually something happening earlier in your business
- Why new bottlenecks will continue to appear as you grow and how to see them as a normal part of building a sustainable business
- How comparison can distort what you believe is possible for your business
