This week, I’m joined by Anna Hart — designer, creative director, and founder of Finally! A social platform and women’s networking event that’s redefining how connection is done. In this conversation, we dive into the truth so many women are waking up to: the systems we’ve been living and working inside of weren’t built for us.

We talk about what happens when you stop abandoning yourself in your career, relationships, and creativity — and start trusting your intuition instead. Anna shares how Finally! was born: from layoffs, discomfort, creativity, and a full-body “yes” that she followed and protected to ensure her vision stayed true to herself.

We explore:
• why women aren’t tiny men (especially in networking & career)
• how burnout shows up in the body and how to stop pushing through it
• boundaries, people-pleasing, and the art of saying no
• co-creation, community, and doing work that feels like you
• body-led living — even inside systems that weren’t designed for you

If you’re craving more authenticity, connection, and permission to do things your own way, this one is for you.

Stay bold, stay balanced, and I’ll see you next week.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting honest about something I forgot along the way: you don’t follow me for the science — you follow me because I translate it into something you can actually feel in your real life.

After wrapping up my 28-day educational series on Instagram, I realized I had drifted into my comfort zone of biochemistry and physiology (classic me). And while the science is a huge part of my work, it’s not the whole point. The point is why it matters to you — to the woman who’s exhausted, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or wondering why her body doesn’t respond the way it used to.

So today, I’m coming back to the heart of it: my burnout story — and the moment I realized biology was the missing link.

In this episode, I share:

• the truth behind my burnout and the patterns I didn’t see
• how cycle syncing became the doorway back to my energy, intuition, and identity
• why most women are burned out (and why it’s not a discipline problem)
• the connection between burnout, biology, and the spark you’ve been missing
• why I built In Sync and why I believe every woman deserves this foundation

If you’ve been feeling off, inconsistent, or disconnected from yourself, this story is for you. And if you’re curious about In Sync, we start in January — send me a DM or email and I’ll share the details.

Today we're diving into the idea that health isn't a discipline problem, it's a self-awareness one.

This episode was sparked by a wave of inspiration (and recorded on my phone, because when creativity hits...we roll with it). After a night deep-diving into my astrology chart and a powerful emotional-mapping session, something clicked: we're all operating with a unique blueprint - and most of us never learned how to read it.

In this personal riff, we explore:

- Why tools like cycle-syncing, astrology, and human-design aren't "woo" - they're languages that help you understand your energy, emotions, and needs

- Why so many women struggle with "discipline" when what they actually need is self-understanding

- How knowing your own blueprint makes health feel easier, lighter, and more you

- A fun invitation to run your own astrology chart and learn something meaningful about yourself.

If you've ever wondered why the same routines don't work for everyone - or why you keep burning out despite "doing everything right," this is your permission slip to try a different approach.

Health gets easier when you understand yourself.

Light a candle, grab your chart, and explore who you're here to be.

We’ve been told salads are the healthy choice...but what if that’s not always true?

In this quick solo episode, I break down why your body’s needs change throughout your cycle (and why that cold salad might not hit the spot during your luteal phase). Think cozy soups, hormone health, and learning to eat with your body, not against it.

Stay bold, stay balanced, and tune in for a little reality check on what “healthy” really means.

What would you do differently if you knew your actions would come back around...multiplied by 100 million?

In this episode, I share a story about a long-overdue coffee date with a friend who reminded me what true trust in timing looks like. From the Tibetan Buddhist “Four Great Holy Days” to the rhythm of our own menstrual cycles, this conversation explores how everything, time, energy, & success, moves in cycles.

You’ll hear why trying to live linearly (doing everything, all the time, all at once) keeps us stuck in burnout, and how aligning with your body’s natural seasons can create merit-multiplying results in your health, business, and life.

I also get personal about some shifts in my business, and why I finally stopped fighting the title “health coach” to claim what I actually do: helping women create success and a life worth living by reconnecting with their bodies, their cycles, and their self-trust.

If you’ve been rewriting your to-do list every day or questioning your timeline, this one’s for you.

As always...stay bold, stay balanced, and I'll see you next week.

In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of one of the most magical (and windy) days of my life: my wedding day. But this isn’t about dresses, décor or Pinterest boards. It’s about the unexpected life lessons that changed everything.

From reading my vows first, to chucking my veil mid-ceremony, to letting go of the “vision board” and trusting something greater—I’m sharing 3 life lessons that have nothing to do with weddings, and everything to do with how you live, lead, and rewrite the rulebook on your own damn terms.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in “shoulds,” waiting for permission, or scared to trust what you can’t see—this one’s for you.

We talk:

• Why the words “supposed to” are silently running your life
• How to become your own permission slip
• The overlooked strategy of energetic trust (and why it’s actually the thing that will change your life)

This episode is a love letter to the rule-breakers, the high achievers ready to do life differently, and the women who crave a little more freedom, a little more magic, and a whole lot more trust.

Stay bold, stay balanced, and I'll see you next time.

Most of us know what’s best for us, but we don’t do it...Why? Because we’re waiting for someone else to give us permission. In this episode, I riff on permission slips, cycles, human design, and why playing small isn’t just hurting you, it could be burying you.

I share the story of avalanche backpacks, Brazilian nuts, and what it means to make yourself big in a world that tells women to shrink. Being big—trusting your intuition, asking for help, filling your cup first, taking up space—will save your life.

If you’ve been waiting for someone to hand you permission, let this episode be it.

I planned a quiet, focused café work session. The universe planned a new friend, a TEDx invite, and a whole cascade of opportunities—because I chose curiosity over control.

In this episode, my guest and new friend, KB, and I talk life design, radical responsibility, and why saying yes to a 20-minute conversation can do more than weeks of “productivity” grind. We get into feminine receiving, pattern-disruptors, and building a life that feels like yours, even if it means being wildly misunderstood on purpose.

If you’re a high-achiever who’s tired of hustling for crumbs, this one’s your permission slip: let it be easier, let it be fun, and answer the door when opportunity knocks. Stay bold, stay balanced, and I’ll see you next week.

About the guest:

KB has spent the last decade working across every corner of marketing and advertising—from leading strategy as a Marketing Director, to consulting on the agency side, to advising brands and agencies in adtech.
