In this inspiring episode of BADA$$ IN ACTION, host Melanie Browning sits down with Emily Evans, founder of WELLTH Journey.

Emily Evans, doesn’t believe in “that’s just how it is.” After a motorcycle accident revealed how broken benefit plans leave families financially vulnerable, she dedicated her career to dismantling the broken benefits playbook—for good.

She created a rare blend of razor-sharp Lego-style simplification, and a “build-your-people” philosophy, to help frustrated business owners escape the status quo. Her clients don’t get another generic quote; they get a custom-built benefits roadmap that contains cost, transfers risk, and aligns your benefits package directly with your company’s strategic objectives.

When not serving her clients, or community, Emily’s off-roading in her Toyota 4Runner—because she’s never been afraid to modify the machine, forge a new path, or build a new vehicle altogether when the old one breaks down. Your benefits should be engineered for exploration, not just built for the paved road.

Whether you’re a small-business owner, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking more freedom and fulfillment—this episode will help you see challenges as stepping stones toward your next breakthrough.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not showing up as strong or as confident as you want to—in your business, body, or life—this episode is for you.

In this empowering conversation, Melanie Browning sits down with Delaney Wood, personal trainer, business owner, and founder of Strong Sis Squad, to talk about how fitness is more than lifting weights—it’s about lifting your confidence, strength, and sense of power.

Delaney shares her journey from not knowing how to cook chicken (yes, really!) to becoming a powerful coach helping women transform from the inside out. She opens up about surrendering to the process, celebrating wins, overcoming fear, and the power of being authentically yourself—both in business and in the gym.

You’ll learn:

• 
  Why your fitness journey begins in the mind, not the mirror

• 
  How to turn movement into momentum

• 
  The mindset shifts that build sustainable habits

• 
  What “Strong Sis Energy” really means

• 
  How to celebrate progress without guilt

If you’re ready to lift more than just weights—if you’re ready to lift your life—this episode will fire you up.

Delaney Wood helps women lift more than just weights, she helps them lift their confidence, strength and sense of power. As a personal trainer, business owner, and founder of the Strong Sis Squad, she's on a mission to turn sweat into empowerment. Her goal: to help women discover the unstoppable power they already hold.
