“I just need a really good plan,” is a phrase that offers overachievers a sense of security, but the cycle of planning is often what holds us back from achieving our goals. In today’s episode, Dr. Priyanka Venugopal joins me to discuss why plans alone don’t deliver the desired results and how embracing a different, more informed strategy can lead to greater clarity, growth, and success. Here’s what we cover:
Why just having a plan on paper is never going to create lasting results because we have to go the extra step to evaluate what actually worksHow planning triggers the reward centers of the brain because you are imagining doing the plan perfectly, but this often leads to inaction instead of achievementWe know we can do hard things, but a plan shifts our focus to wishfulness instead of doing the workHow to speak to yourself with compassion so your evaluation doesn't feel like self-punishment5 questions to help you uncover the reason your plan didn’t work and how to adjust moving forwardIt’s possible to allow yourself to feel your emotions while also being curious and realisticWhy it’s important to acknowledge your efforts every step of the way - not just when you get a resultI can't wait for you to listen!
Priyanka Venugopal is an Ob/Gyn physician turned Stress and Weight Loss Coach for professional moms who identify as overachievers and who want to lose weight with science backed strategies that will last a lifetime. For over 10 years she has talked with thousands of high achieving professional women and gotten to the root of the high achiever's biggest obstacles in hitting goals at work and on the scale.

The hopes and expectations we have going into the holiday season make this time of year particularly susceptible to feeling grief. In this week's conversation with Susie Ruth, an end-of-life coach and grief specialist, we discuss strategies for navigating grief and offer insights on how best to support someone grieving during the holidays. Here’s what we cover:
The reason why we are more susceptible to feeling grief during the holidaysWhy the acronym B.R.A.T.S. will help you remember phrases and actions that DO NOT help you process your griefThe process of learning more about grief is the first step to understanding how you can grieve and live at the same timeHow simply acknowledging your grief and that it’s okay to feel is an important healing practice How to use the W.A.I.T. acronym to guide you in supporting someone who is grievingWhy there is grief that comes with any transition in lifeI can't wait for you to listen.

When we cause harm to someone else, the good girl tendency is to feel shame and defensiveness. Instead, if we get to a place where we are generous and can grieve our mistakes, we can move on to be better versions of ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how the themes of Wicked relate to my journey of becoming an ex-good girl and the importance of self-compassion when you have to question your beliefs. Here’s what I cover:
How the representation of power structures fueled by patriarchy in the Wicked movie relate to our societyWhy you can't grow into better versions of yourself without acknowledging that past versions made mistakesHow my experience as a member of the Mormon church has similarities to Glinda’s character arc in WickedTwo good-girl beliefs that are roadblocks to learning from our mistakes and becoming better friends and alliesHow we have been conditioned to react to shame and think negatively about changing our mindWhy we often jump to defend our beliefs instead of being open to the idea of exploring new onesI can't wait for you to listen!

In this episode, you’ll get a glimpse into my musical-loving heart as I discuss the feminist themes of the movie, Wicked, and moments in the film that took me back to a time when I had to realize a hard truth. Here’s what I cover:
Why we all deserve to have beliefs consistent with having autonomy and being able to find what we like and what we want to doHow the song “Defying Gravity” helped me through a challenging time in my lifeWhy the realization that something that provides goodness and safety is actually doing us harm is a shared experience for manyEach of us is worthy of being in relationships, friendships, and careers that do not exist inside circumstances that require us to ignore part of what is going on in order to be happyAn important truth about people pleasing and gender equality is illuminated in an essay by Celeste DavisI can't wait for you to listen.

It’s normal to want to bypass feelings of fear, worry, and sorrow during this uncertain time, but we miss the opportunity to create a vulnerable, trusting relationship with ourselves and our feelings if we send these big emotions into exile. In this episode, I discuss how moving forward starts with processing our emotions. Here’s what I cover:
Why distraction from difficult emotions is not a bad thing when it’s balanced with emotional connection to yourselfA visualization exercise to help you process your feelings in a way that builds deep emotional trustTaking the time to be with your emotions will help create the sense of safety and security needed to move forward in a way that feels good to youHow I processed the uncertainty I feel with understanding and care for myselfWhy cultivating vulnerable trust with yourself is one of the most important things you can be doingI can’t wait for you to listen.

Do you feel trapped by the “rules” of modern dating? I’m thrilled to be joined by dating coach Lily Womble in today's episode to talk about how to break free from those dumb dating rules. I want each one of you to find the relationship you’re meant to be in, and that starts with making sure you never have to settle in your dating life ever again.
Here’s what we cover:
How Lily Womble created a dating solution so she'd never have to settle againFeeling free in your dating life starts with shedding your people-pleasing tendenciesThe way we show up in our dating life is influenced by what we were taught growing upSeveral “dumb dating rules” and how to break them so you can find the right relationshipWhy getting specific about your preferences will help you seek the right partnerLily Womble is sparking a feminist revolution in the way we date and find love. She was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S., but after setting up hundreds of dates, Lily realized that the answer to finding love was much deeper than a setup, and that the way we are taught to date is still stuck in the patriarchal dark ages. She founded her company, Date Brazen, in 2018 and has since helped hundreds of women create love lives that are epic, settle-proof, and joyful-as-hell with her intersectional feminist approach.
She changes lives daily on TikTok, Top 4 Relationship Podcast- The Date Brazen Podcast, and sold-out coaching programs world-wide. Her book, Thank You, More Please: A feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules and finding love, is changing lives around the world, published by Legacy Lit. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Chris.

This week, my guests and I invite you to join a conversation we’ve been having over the last few years about women in business and the power of using, or not using, our voices in the face of cancel culture and online scrutiny.
I’m thrilled to welcome Sandy Connery and Jeni Barcelos, friends, business owners, and co-founders of Marvelous Software.

I am so excited to share my story with you of how I and three of my travel companions and friends came to found Yapay Bolivia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating poverty through sustainable healthcare solutions.
This isn’t your average story–it’s a tale of thrilling and sometimes frightening medical events, the kindness shown to me by some of the most inspiring and wonderful women I’ve ever met, and the profound transformation I underwent. It's a story of compassion for the previous version of myself that made all of this possible.
I am incredibly proud of Yapay Bolivia's work and truly grateful that it’s a part of my life. The work I engage in through this organization exists outside of my roles as a mother, wife, and professional—it’s something just for me. I would love for every woman out there to have something like this, whether that means founding a nonprofit or taking small steps toward anything that brings joy and impact to her life. Even the smallest beginnings can lead to significant, positive ripple effects. My journey of wanting something just for me has turned into a meaningful organization that makes a tangible impact on the lives of women and children in Bolivia. I hope it inspires you to pursue something you genuinely want to do, and I can’t wait for you to listen.
PS. If you’d like to donate to Yapay Bolivia, an organization where 100% of donations go directly to impactful projects, your support can help us expand our programs to reach a larger community. Please check out https://yapaybolivia.org/ to learn more and make a difference.

I’m thrilled to kick off my “Unconventional Choices” series with an incredible lineup of guests and fellow coaches—Amber Taylor, Pauline Yan, Melissa G.

I am so grateful for my conversation with this week’s guest, Colleen Kachmann, where we tackle an important and often tricky topic: drinking. Tune in as we explore how drinking is tied to perfectionism and people pleasing and how, thanks to her own journey, Colleen is helping women rise above it.
Colleen is a Certified Master Life & Recovery Coach who uses cutting-edge strategies in nervous system regulation, growth mindset, positive psychology, and self-directed neuroplasticity to help women reconnect with a higher sense of purpose so they can feel passionate and powerful again. She holds a Bachelor of Science in education, a Master of Science in coaching, and a professional certificate in Women’s Functional and Integrative Medicine.
Through her own experience with alcoholism, Colleen founded Recover with Colleen after realizing that being “sober” is not a good goal. Pursuing happiness instead of sobriety is the ONLY way to reclaim your power. Once you realize that you can actually trust yourself, the only rule you need to follow is your intuition – you just need to learn how to listen.
Colleen helps women bypass the stigma and drama that society associates with sobriety by focusing on what’s really important – our relationship with ourselves. Her passion is to help women liberate themselves from the oppressive belief that there is something fundamentally broken or flawed about them so that they can unlock a higher level of purpose, passion, and power.
I can’t wait for you to listen.
PLEASE NOTE that while Colleen's approach is empowering, it might not be suitable for individuals with alcohol use disorder or active alcohol addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with severe alcohol issues, please seek professional help tailored to those needs.

With everything happening in our world right now, especially politically here in the United States, we need to talk about the female double blind–the impossible double standards to which women are held that create no-win situations for us. So many examples of this show up in our everyday lives and are perpetuated by the media, and it needs to stop.
In this episode, I delve into these double standards and the language that reinforces them, all aimed at keeping women from attaining leadership and power. As strong women, it’s time to dissect, understand, and reject the female double bind, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum. It’s time to see these double standards, call them out, and hold those perpetuating them accountable. The female double bind is always a trap, but together, we have the power to reject and rise above it. I can’t wait for you to listen.
