Dr. Mariza Snyder: Midlife, Reclaimed! (Seasonal Episode 7) Dec 22, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mariza Snyder for a conversation that so many women need to hear, especially those navigating midlife, perimenopause, and the quiet internal changes that can feel confusing or overwhelming.

Dr. Mariza brings such wisdom, clarity, and compassion to this conversation. We talk about what is really happening in a woman’s body during perimenopause, why so many women feel like something is wrong with them, and the truth that changes everything. You are not broken. You are in a transition.

We explore how perimenopause can begin earlier than most women expect and how symptoms like mood shifts, low stress tolerance, disrupted sleep, and cycle changes are signals asking us to listen, not push harder. Dr. Mariza shares why this season invites a powerful mindset shift from doing more to caring deeper.

This conversation is about learning to work with your body instead of fighting it. It is about honoring your energy, prioritizing sleep and nourishment, redefining movement, and surrounding yourself with supportive relationships and community. It is also about meeting yourself more fully and stepping into this next chapter with confidence, grace, and the right tools.

If you are a woman who has felt off, tired, disconnected, or unsure why what used to work no longer does, this episode will meet you right where you are. And if you love a woman in this season, this conversation will help you understand her more deeply.

This is an invitation to stop questioning yourself and start equipping yourself. To release shame and embrace wisdom. And to remember that this season is not an ending. It is a powerful beginning.

Cheryl Wood: FInding Your Voice & Becoming the Messenger (Seasonal Episode 6) Dec 21, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with the powerful and deeply grounded Dr. Cheryl Wood, and I knew within minutes that this conversation was going to land in the hearts of so many of you.

Cheryl’s story is one of true transformation. She grew up in poverty, faced loss and uncertainty early in life, and still chose to believe there was more available to her. What I love most about Cheryl is that she does not sugarcoat the journey. She speaks honestly about the work it takes to rise, the courage required to trust your calling, and the responsibility that comes with using your voice.

We talk about how storytelling becomes a turning point for personal growth, not just as a speaker, but as a human being. Cheryl shares how motherhood shifted her definition of success away from money alone and toward freedom, impact, and alignment. That moment really stayed with me because so many women reach success only to realize they want a life that feels meaningful and spacious, not just impressive on paper.

This conversation is also about positioning. Cheryl explains how she learned to step outside her comfort zone, say yes before she felt ready, and allow herself to be seen in rooms she once felt unqualified to enter. She reminds us that fear and doubt are part of the process, but they do not get to be the decision makers.

We also talk about diversity, community, and what it means to serve people well. Cheryl believes that being entrusted with other people’s hopes and dreams is a sacred responsibility, and that belief shows up in everything she does. She lives what she teaches, and her life is proof that where you start does not determine where you are capable of going.

If you have ever felt a pull toward something bigger, felt called to use your voice more boldly, or wondered whether your story actually matters, this episode is for you.

This is a conversation about purpose, courage, and choosing to live a revolutionary life even when it would be easier to play small.

Life Lessons in Loss Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I share the profound lessons I learned from one of my soul sisters, Rachel Luna. Her generosity, presence, and love left a lasting imprint on my life—and she continues to inspire me to show up fully, embrace vulnerability, and never play small. From the stages we shared to the moments of deep personal connection, this episode is a tribute to the power of authentic friendships, letting people in, and harnessing your divine power to live boldly.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. Soul Sister Connections Are Sacred
Rachel’s presence on my stage in Tampa was more than a moment—it was a mirror of purpose, faith, and energy. I share the memory of her praying over the room, blessing every chair, and showing up with a spirit of service. These are the kinds of friendships that awaken your soul, amplify your gifts, and remind you of your calling.

2. Self-Accountability Meets Divine Power
I break down a personal moment inspired by the song “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers, where I realized the most important pep talk is the one you give to yourself. Life doesn’t wait, and the divine power within you is waiting for you to call it forth. It’s about showing up for yourself, in your full power, right now.

3. Let People In: Vulnerability is Strength
Through the lessons Rachel taught me and my own experiences, I discuss the importance of letting trusted people into your life—not just the pretty, successful parts, but the darkest, hardest, most human moments. Vulnerability doesn’t make you weak; it connects you, heals you, and allows others to help carry the load.

4. Don’t Play Small: Choose Your Circle, Choose Your Life
The final lesson is a call to boldness: stop shrinking, stop waiting, and surround yourself with people who elevate, challenge, and support you. The right circle transforms your energy, your decisions, and your life. Choosing the right rooms, allowing yourself to receive, and stepping into your fullest potential is not optional—it’s essential.

Key Takeaways:

Show up fully in every room you enter—service and presence are their own rewards.
Call in the divine power within you; you are your first and most important ally.
True friends hold space, offer support, and let you be fully human—let them in.
Don’t wait for permission or the “perfect moment”—your life is now.

When Someone Lets You Down Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever felt discouraged because you thought someone would show up for you, or perhaps they were actually “assigned” to help you, but didn’t? Or maybe you’ve held a grudge or felt wronged because someone let you down or just chose not to help. The path to success is filled with a lot of people and a lot of assumptions and expectations, too. It’s human nature. But I’m tackling this topic and what to do to move from victim to victor, to be self-empowered to create the dream you desire, and to remove resentment from unmet expectations.

Ep 11: Gaining the Confidence to Try Something New with Erica Lippy Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

It's so common to think we're not really anything special and we can't really see ourselves accomplishing something big. But today my guest, Erica Lippy, has done just that. She went from having no experience in podcasting and no experience in the personal development world to becoming one of the top voices in podcasting in the personal development world.
I can't wait for you to hear this episode and to learn from her how you can gain the confidence to go out on a limb, try something new, and knock it out of the park.
Quotes from this episode:
"And that's one thing that I think with all this work we do, personal development work, is being very intentional in what are the outcomes we are wanting from it? And then aligning ourself and setting ourself up for success."
"I really believe that it's not about attracting the person you desire in life. It's becoming the person that would attract the person you desire in life."
"Anytime you're feeling unfulfilled or not satisfied in any part of your life, I believe it always comes back to looking at yourself, taking that self responsibility, that ownership because it's nobody else's responsibility."
Make sure to listen to Erica's Podcast Passion Love Pursuit Podcast. You can also take her podcasting course to learn how to start and launch your own podcast.
*To join me in person and experience a life-shifting, business-accelerating event, save your seat at Align Limitless this January 19-21 in Tampa Bay, Florida: aligneventslive.com
