Show notes

Meg really does rock. We met on Instagram and really connected just recently when I was posting about having a sty on my eye. So many people wrote in and told me remedies to try, but Meg told me how to look inward and heal from within myself. I know, a lot of people think that kind of talk is crazy, but I don’t. I believe that we all are a force field from God and have so much to offer this world, including the ability heal ourselves and others. We just have to uncover the truth. Meg dives in SO DEEP to questions that have been wrecking me like “why are we here, why do we suffer, understanding what our physical ailments mean, how she parents using this inner knowledge and soooo much more. This episode is AMAZING! Meg is a manifesting coach and has so much amazing wisdom to offer.

Lori Paranjape: Top interior designer walks me through her fantastical mind and explains how she turns her extraordinary visions into people’s homes. Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Lori said something to me that I never would have known to think of when it comes to designing a house, and I’ll never forget it. She said “ I’m OBSESSED w the walk from the garage to the kitchen island, bc a woman does that countless times in a day. By the time she gets to the island I want her to be hands free.” Woah. Mind blown. How does one even know how to think that thought? But that’s Lori. Not only is her style and design classic yet bold, traditional yet wild and modern leaving you breathless, she is all about function and comfort first. Throughout the interview she said multiple times “if it’s not comfortable and functional then I’m not doing it.” I LOVE THAT. Lori tells me all about the responsibility of designing top of the line houses and how trust is the most important factor. She also breaks down her life principals and values. Lori is so advanced when it comes to how she thinks and acts in the world. She is level headed and a thought leader for sure. She also is insanely hilarious. I had more fun on this interview getting to know Lori. I know you will love this one.

Emily Curl: iHeart Digital Host explains how she landed her dream job in NYC from small town roots and why the tiktok generation could save humanity. Aug 13, 2020

Show notes

Emily is a go-getter. She puts herself out there and isn’t afraid to jump for the stars. That’s exactly what she did when she applied to be a host in NYC while still living in her small town... but she put on the application that she already lived in NYC. When she got the job a couple weeks later, she made it happen and moved to New York in a whirlwind. We both share the beliefs that hustling, hard work, plus talent and a great attitude are essentials to success. I love Emily’s drive and journey. She also tells me why the tiktok generation may just save us all.

For this comedian and content creator, comedy is life. She has spent years of routinely embarrassing herself, improv classes, some stints as an amateur standup comic with unrelenting dedication. She just wrote a book Funny How it Works Out, sharing her life lessons and story, which recounts her wackiest moments, questionable decisions, lessons learned over the years, romantic tales, and the screenplay that is the story of her whirlwind marriage and divorce in hopes that she can help others find the lessons in their journeys so that they too can grow from their pasts and manifest their best lives.

Rebecca Minkoff: global fashion mogul talks pivoting her business during COVID, the importance of work-family balance, being inclusive and always following her instincts. Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

It was a thrill to interview Rebecca. I have been a big fan of her massive brand for years. It was awesome to have the chance to get inside her brain and understand what inspired her to go big for her dream when the odds were against her. Plus learning how she has pivoted her brand to focusing sales online during COVID and ended up having one of the brands most successful years was so inspiring. Instead of feeling defeated with the global shutdown due to corona virus and the impact that had on her business, she charted a new course where she could thrive in this new normal. That’s what really stands out to me about Rebecca. She is a trailblazer. She doesn’t wait or want everything to be perfect, she makes good with all the resources she has and then works her ass off and hires an exceptional team to execute her vision. I love that she believes so much in the team mentality. She knows she can’t do it all; she shared with me about what she looks for when she hires an employee and then how she trusts them to do their job. We also talked about how motherhood has changed her outlook on work and what inspired her to launch her SUPERWOMAN podcast featuring some of the most inspiring women from Katie Couric to Maria Sharapova.

Becca Stevens: Priest, Author, and Founder of Thistle Farms, an organization providing a sanctuary and healing for women survivors of prostitution, trafficking and addiction. Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

Becca Stevens is one of the women I look up to the most in this world. She is an Episcopalian Priest, she has written a dozen books, she is a mother of 3 grown outstanding young talented men, a wife to Marcus Hummon who is one of the most profound hit songwriters in town, she is a survivor of abuse and a safe haven for women who need healing and refuge. In this episode I broke down in tears several times bc I am so overwhelmed with all of the suffering in the world right now, especially children suffering. I think I broke down bc Becca is that holy, safe place that I knew would hold my sadness and fear, yet also guide me back to God. After the interview I couldn’t stop thinking about how much she serves those in need and suffering. I kept wondering “how does she hold all of this suffering for everyone and stay so light?” I am so burdened by sad news and it often time all-consumes me. Becca blesses all those she comes in contact with, speaks healing into their life, and turns something that feels destroyed into God’s glory. She has seen so much pain, yet she never loses faith and her love for God. Instead, she sees the beauty in life and freely expresses her sacred feelings. Lately she has been sharing her rants about life. They have deeply moved me and given me the confidence to share my own rants. This episode is a gift. Becca is a gift.

Canaan and Christy Smith: How hit country artist/songwriter and his wife fell in love from a chance encounter at a concert, and how life has changed since parenthood. Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

Canaan broke onto the country music scene w a #1 hit “Love you Like That.” He has weathered the ups and downs of the music industry and now has a new label home and music out under Flodia Georgia Line’s label Round Here Records. A lot of our conversation was centered around trusting God’s plan and guidance and being grateful for the blessings we have and what we have learned from highs and lows and what faith means to us. We talked about Christy and Canaan’s love story. They met at a concert and felt sparks immediately. The timing was off in the beginning but eventually the stars aligned after a blind date weekend (their story is pretty epic). Christy is a nurse practitioner and she talks about being on the front lines of the heath service during the pandemic and how she deals with her fear and practices safety, especially since they have a 9 month old baby girl at home. This couple is a shining light of faith, love, talent, perseverance, commitment and rising to whatever occasion God calls them.
