This week, I’m thrilled to welcome Kelly Stevens to the podcast! If you’ve ever wrestled with the idea of “living in alignment,” or you’ve wondered how to find clarity when life feels messy and uncertain, this episode will resonate with you. We dive deep into Kelly’s personal unraveling, her reflections on intention, and how she crafted a new blueprint for herself and the women she now coaches through Align Society.

In this episode:

• Discover how Kelly tuned burnout and a career shift into a calling to help women leaders find true alignment and fulfilment.
• Get the inside scoop on what "living with intention" means to Kelly and how embracing uncertainty can open new doors.
• Learn about Kelly's signature Aligned Leader Framework: her actionable approach to decision making, personal growth and editing your life for what matters most.
• Bust the myth of "balance" and hear practical strategies for building a strong foundation, especially for women balancing multiple roles.
• Explore why authentic community and self-care are essential for leadership (and what self-care actually looks like.)
• Enjoy light hearted moments including baking aspirations, travel dreams and lessons Kelly wishes she knew earlier.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Bell, Founder of Bell and Whistle Design, multi-passionate entrepreneur, mom, and wife, for a deep dive into the world of branding.

We explore Sarah’s winding journey from being a creative in childhood to a powerhouse designer and business leader. She shares her personal story of pivoting careers sooner than expected, and how investing in community transformed the trajectory of Bell and Whistle Design.

If you’re a small business owner, entrepreneur, or freelancer looking for actionable branding advice, this episode is packed with gold. We break down what branding actually means, discuss a holistic customer experience, and dive into the power of authenticity, data-driven design, and showing up with relatability, even amidst the AI boom.

Sarah’s practical tips on balancing luxury aesthetics with personality, leveraging data for growth, and designing businesses that fit real lives (not just hustle culture) are perfect for anyone wanting to build a brand that genuinely connects.

Plus, we chat about heart-led leadership, building a team, and the beauty of being “a little bit delusional” when chasing your dreams. If you’re ready to feel seen, inspired, and equipped with fresh perspectives for your branding journey, don’t miss this one!

I know, alignment, yet again. It's been top of mind, and keeps wiggling it's way up my priority list towards achieving goals. "Be her now" or "act as if" were common wisdomous nuggets shared, and it took a while for me to understand what that truly meant when it came to how I showed up. I've started to understand it slightly, so I'm implementing it with other insights as well. I'll report back.

On this episode of the Podcast, I’m joined by Brenda Mundt, breath coach, breathwork facilitator, grief recovery method specialist, personal trainer, and host of the Heartache Health and Healing Podcast.

Brenda shares practical insights on processing emotions, navigating the non-linear nature of grief, and simple ways to bring more joy and vitality into our lives.

In this solo episode I share about a profound question I heard which has been guiding how I show up and realigning to how I want to show up. It's one thing to choose that, but with it comes resistance. I break down how I have been working WITH the resistance, rather than letting it stop me from moving forward.

In this dual episode I sit down with Cat Roten, in person, for some real talk on navigating change, updating your identity, and learning how to set (and actually keep!) boundaries. We get honest about the messy middle, the fears that come up when you pivot or put yourself out there, and how important it is to find a community that really feels like yours.

New year, first episode, where I dive deep into the energy and intentions I'm bringing into 2026! After a year of self-awareness and inner excavation, I’m choosing to show up differently—less performing, more authenticity, and a whole lot of boldness. In this episode, I unpack my journey from seeking external validation to creating from a place of deep-rooted intention. I talk about choosing my word for the year—“embody”—and why taking action and integrating lessons learned is the theme I’m carrying forward.

I share behind-the-scenes insights from hosting my first-ever event for creatives and entrepreneurs in Zambia, including the challenges, mindset shifts, and magic of community that unfolded. You’ll hear about detaching from outcomes, learning to ask for help, and the importance of taking bold actions—even when you’re nervous! Plus, I reflect on redefining authenticity and building personal brand with intention, inspired by a powerful conversation with Lulu Hangala Wood.
