Get ready for an honest, inspiring, and super fun conversation with my mentor, business partner, and friend, Maegan Blinka. Maegan is a total rockstar mompreneur who went from being a CPA (hello, numbers queen!) to a stay-at-home mom and then found her groove as a leader in network marketing and a certified hormone health coach. Her journey is all about taking bold steps, embracing change, and creating a life full of purpose and balance—and trust me, you’re going to love hearing all about it.

We talk about all the things, from the messy and beautiful transitions of motherhood to rediscovering your independence and purpose. Maegan gets real about the challenges of leaving a traditional career behind and finding herself again through network marketing and hormone health coaching.

And if you’ve ever struggled with feeling “off” (hello, hormones!), this episode has you covered. We dive into hormone health 101—think practical tips for managing cortisol, optimizing vitamins, balancing hormones, and why rest and gut health are basically the unsung heroes of your wellness. We even talk about supporting liver health (because who knew your liver plays a role in perimenopause?!) and how to create simple habits that make a big difference.

Oh, and did I mention we’re starting a book club? Yep, we’re diving into The Hormone Repair Manual by Dr. Lara Briden together, and it’s going to be AMAZING. You’ll get all the info you need to join us and start learning about the magic (and challenges) of hormone health with a supportive community of moms just like you.

So grab your favorite drink, hit play, and join us for a mix of personal stories, expert tips, and a whole lot of laughs. This episode will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take on life with more energy, balance, and grace.

Today, we’re diving into how those tiny, often unseen steps we take every day can add up to massive wins over time. Think of this as a heart-to-heart chat on a chairlift, reminiscing about life, relationships, and everything in between—snowboarding optional!

I’m sharing real-life updates from the wild world of parenting three kids (all at different stages), growing a business, staying well, and leveling up my mindset. You’ll hear how I’m tackling one of my biggest podcasting goals: ditching my editing obsession and getting better at speaking off the cuff.

This episode is packed with motivational nuggets, including stories from The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, a metaphor about a piñata (trust me, it’ll make sense), and my chaotic-yet-transformative day that included migraines, reels, and a whole lot of feelings. Oh, and we’re talking about Growth Day 3.0—your new favorite tool for personal growth!

Stick around as I share how I turned my day around using self-coaching strategies, plus an invitation to join my Tea & Talkback with Tanya meetup where we can dive even deeper.
