In this BONUS episode we’re talking about pelvic floor health, which is something I’ve been wanting to talk about on the show for a long time.

My guest is MaryEllen Reider, co-creator of the women’s wellness device YARLAP . The YARLAP is an FDA-approved device, and it recently won an Women’s Health FEMTECH award. (Pl...

This episode is for anyone who needs to get into the holiday spirit. I’m so excited to kickoff the season by talking about holiday movies with Mary Carver from Hooked on Holiday Movies .

However, our conversation is framed around holiday movies, but we actually talk about so much more, including how we ...

Mistakes. We’ve all made ‘em. In this episode, I wanted to share 3 mistakes I’ve made recently (personally and professionally) as a jumping off point for talking about missteps, how we corrected them, and what we learned. Of course, not all mistakes are equal. And we don’t always want to harp on things we did wrong. But it can be helpful to hear about other people’s mess ups, and talking about it can hold us accountable for our own actions. Because next time we’ll do it differently. Right? This ...

This episode is for anyone who struggles with her inner "good girl." I read Break the Good Girl Myth: How To Dismantle Outdated Rules, Unleash Your Power, and Design a More Purposeful Life by Majo Molfino this summer and the whole idea resonated with me: identifying as a good girl, wanting to be seen as a good girl, and simultaneously wanting to get out of that trap. Even at 40-something, I am still dismantling these parts of my identity, and I could see myself - and so many of my friends - in t...
