Do you find yourself exhausted from constantly juggling everything on your own as a single parent? I know I felt that way at first…
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, divorce attorney turned co-parenting expert Morgan Foster joins me to share her top advice for navigating co-parenting challenges.
We discuss letting go of things that are no longer your responsibility and focusing on the big picture of raising healthy, happy kids together. We also dive into setting clear boundaries and expectations early on, handling common co-parenting disputes, prioritizing your own self-care as a single mom, and much more.
Morgan Foster is an experienced family law attorney who spent 20 years practicing in the traditional legal system, with a focus on complex divorce and custody cases. Driven by her belief that the best outcomes for families are achieved through chosen resolutions designed by clients and their partners rather than litigation, Morgan started her own company to provide alternative solutions. As a divorced mother of two young boys who has followed the process she now offers to others, Morgan enjoys a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband and has observed her own children thrive through and beyond divorce.

Have you ever felt like your true self got lost along the way while juggling life's many roles and challenges?
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I chat with Sarah Schmidt about overcoming life's biggest challenges to find renewed meaning and joy. Sarah shares how at age 52, after two divorces and a battle with cancer, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that involved getting out of her head and into her body to process difficult emotions.
We discuss the challenges of navigating divorce while prioritizing children's emotional well-being, the importance of vulnerability in parenting, the journey of finding purpose in midlife and much much more.
Sarah has her PsyD in Clinical Psychology, a Masters in Pastoral Counseling, and has a Health Coach Certification. She is a woman with no shortage of these life moments – from growing up in a small, Catholic town in Wisconsin with a mom who spent 12 years in a convent, to discovering she was in love with a woman to getting diagnosed with cancer, to adopting a son with sickle cell disease, to having her first natural birth at 44, to navigating a second divorce– and beyond. Many might experience some of these events in their lifetime, but few have experienced them all in one.

Ever wonder why some relationships drain you while others help you grow?
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I am joined by Dr. Jade Teta who challenges the Hollywood notion of "you complete me" and introduces a revolutionary approach to love - one where relationships are meant to grow you, not complete you.

She joins me in this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast to share that at 48, she left her demanding corporate healthcare job to start her own business - a decision that led to a seven-figure company in just one year.

After over two decades of success in the corporate world, she found herself completely burned out, faced with an impossible choice between her health and her job. Leigh made what she calls a “big swing of bold.” In 2020, without a plan but with an unwavering belief in herself, she resigned and co-founded Bold Industries Group, a bootstrapped start-up that achieved seven figures in its first year and beyond. Now, Leigh is sharing her BOLD Framework (Believe-Own-Learn-Design), a powerful tool that fueled her recovery and continues to drive her success.

Did you know beets can boost your heart health and energy levels? In this episode on the Wellness Revolution podcast, I am joined by Joel Kocher, a successful tech executive turned health entrepreneur. Joel shares how he discovered the power of nitric oxide and beets to support cardiovascular health, leading him to start SuperBeets.
We discuss that as we women age, our natural nitric oxide production declines significantly, but supplements like SuperBeets can help restore levels to support healthy blood pressure, circulation, and energy. We also dive into valuable insights on entrepreneurship in midlife, the importance of passion and having the courage to "take the shot" even if you're afraid of failure.
Joel Kocher has over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the technology industry in companies ranging from $100 million in revenue to multi-billion. He is recognized for presiding over Dell’s explosive growth in the early to mid 1990’s as its number 2 executive behind founder Michael Dell during the company’s meteoric rise to the Fortune 500. After he left Dell, he held a broad set of leadership positions in both private and public companies before co-founding Humann, the makers of SuperBeets, America’s #1 Beet Brand and the #1 Doctor, Pharmacist, and Cardiologist Recommended Beet Brand for Heart Health Support. Humann is a recipient of the 2017 Nutrition Science Award by NBJ and a 9-time Inc. 5000 America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies Honoree. Most recently Joel was recognized as an Ernst & Young 2022 Entrepreneur of the Year Regional Winner.
