In this solo episode of BioClean Unfiltered, Rhea Toles gets real about the hidden cost of people pleasing — and why it's one of the most expensive habits we carry into business, leadership, friendships, and family.Rhea breaks down how growing up in an immigrant household shaped her need to be liked, why saying "no" is a complete sentence, and the difference between a leader who serves and a people pleaser who saves. If you've ever lost sleep replaying conversations, said yes when you meant no, or carried someone else's emotional burden — this one's for you.#PeoplePleasing #BioCleanUnfiltered #RheaToles #Leadership #Boundaries #Podcast #BusinessOwner #WomenInBusiness #SetBoundaries #SelfWorth

Episode 26 | BioClean Unfiltered with Rhea TolesGuest: Christie Thompson, Regional Vice President, ArbonneIn this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Rhea sits down with friend and Arbonne Regional Vice President Christie Thompson — just before Christie embarks on a major life move from the Pacific Northwest to Franklin, Tennessee. What starts as a sendoff conversation quickly turns into one of the most honest, practical, and motivating conversations on the podcast yet.Christie shares her full journey — from skeptical product user to full-time network marketing leader — and breaks down exactly what it took to walk away from a traditional career to build a flexible, faith-driven life on her own terms.In this episode, you'll hear about:- Why Christie almost dismissed Arbonne entirely — and what changed her mind after 22 months- The real "why" behind leaving corporate: the boss who couldn't guarantee her one weekday evening off for her daughter's swim lessons- How to borrow someone else's belief when you don't yet believe in yourself- What authentic leadership actually looks like — and why humility is where it starts- The qualities Christie looks for when identifying future leaders (hint: it has nothing to do with appearance, age, or existing income)- Her "Snickers vs. mortgage" framework for women on the fence about starting a business- How she manages mom guilt, phone-free presence, and intentional time-blocking as a single mom- Why setbacks aren't signs to quit — they're lessons preparing you for the next level- The Miracle Morning habits that set up her mindset every single day-Her powerful advice on auditing your inner circle: "If you're the most successful person in the room, that room won't take you any higher."Whether you're a working mom looking for more flexibility, someone curious about Arbonne or wellness entrepreneurship, or just a woman who needs a reminder that change is possible — this episode will meet you right where you are.
