Some stories do not even sound real… until you sit across from the person who actually lived them.

Part 2 with Shelby is finally here, and somehow this conversation gets even deeper.

In this episode of The RealHER Podcast, we continue Shelby’s story as she opens up about the chapters that came after the survival. We talk about what happens after the toxic relationships, grief, identity shifts, and chaos… when you are finally forced to rebuild yourself from the ground up.

This conversation dives into healing, motherhood, entrepreneurship, nervous system regulation, self worth, rebuilding confidence, and what it actually looks like to become the woman you needed during your hardest seasons.

But this episode is not just about trauma. It is about resilience, reinvention, entrepreneurship, & what it really looks like to go from survival mode to She-E-O.

We talk about grief, healing, identity shifts, toxic relationships, motherhood, building a business through chaos, and the moments that force you to either give up or become someone entirely new.

This episode is raw, funny, emotional, empowering, and proof that your past does not get the final say in your future.

Come with me for something a little different today.

In this bonus episode, you’re literally coming along with me while I get laser treatments on my face with my friend Kenzie… and yes, we’re talking about everything.

What it actually feels like, who these treatments are for, what they cost, the pros and cons, and the conversations people don’t always say out loud when it comes to beauty, money, and self-care.

But this isn’t just about laser.

This turns into a bigger conversation around why we spend money the way we do, what “taking care of yourself” really means, and how investing in yourself can come from a place of power, not insecurity.

Because sometimes self-care is deeper than bubble baths and journaling.

Sometimes it’s wealth care.

Sometimes it’s choosing to feel good in your skin, on your terms.

No shame, no judgment, just a real conversation about what it looks like to take care of yourself in this season of life.

This week, I’m sitting down with my friend Azy for a conversation that every ambitious woman needs to hear.

We’re getting real about what dating actually looks like when you’re building something big, evolving quickly, and refusing to shrink yourself just to fit into a relationship.

From choosing to be single on purpose, to navigating dating when your life is full, independent, and honestly… really good, we’re talking about the things people don’t always say out loud.

This episode is funny, a little unhinged, and very honest. We get into the standards, the struggles, the patterns we’re unlearning, and what it really means to want love… without needing it.

If you’ve ever felt like dating hits different when you’re in your growth era, this one is for you.

We talk about:

• Choosing to be single instead of settling

• Why dating feels harder when your standards are higher

• Balancing softness with ambition

• The reality of modern dating as a driven woman

• Knowing you want a relationship… but not just any relationship

This is your reminder that you’re not “too much,” you’re just not available for the wrong things anymore.

And honestly… that’s the whole point.

SHE SAID "I COME FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDAHHH"... I mean come on, who DOESN'T love that song?!?!

In this bonus Bestie Hotline episode, I’m joined by my best friend of 17 years, Olivia DiMichele, all the way from Australia for a chaotic catch up, some brutally honest advice, and a little international bestie perspective.

We get into what a real glow up actually looks like, why the best transformations start from within, how to handle friendships when people are not showing up the way they say they will, and what it’s really like building a life on the opposite side of the world from everyone you love.

Plus, we' discuss Aussie life vs. America and do some fun rapid-style questions that'll give you the kind of blunt best friend advice your group chat should probably be having.

If you’ve ever needed a long distance FaceTime with your brutally honest besties… this is that episode.

And if this episode spoke to you, share it with a bestie who’s ready to glow up and take control of her life too!

What happens when the thing you once dreamed of building… is no longer the thing you want to wake up to?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my first-ever business bestie, Stephanie Arapian, and we’re getting real about something not enough entrepreneurs talk about… outgrowing your business.

We take you back to the beginning, the messy, chaotic, “figure it out as you go” phase of starting your first business, and what it actually looks like to go from beginner energy into more advanced conversations around scaling, structure, and sustainability.

But here’s where it gets juicy…

Sometimes the business you built isn’t the thing. It was the thing that taught you, stretched you, introduced you to rooms you never would’ve been in otherwise… but it’s not meant to be your forever.

Stephanie shares her journey of recognizing that truth, making the bold decision to sell her first business, and stepping into a whole new season of discovery, alignment, and possibility.

This episode is your permission slip to stop forcing something that no longer fits… and to realize you don’t have to be married to your business to be successful.

Sometimes the most powerful move you can make… is asking for a divorce.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, confused, or lowkey guilty for wanting more or something different, this conversation is going to hit.

Welcome to your next chapter.

Welcome to one of The RealHER segments, "The RealHER State," where we stop playing small with money, power, and the life we actually want.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why real estate became my obsession, how it completely changed the way I think about wealth, and why I believe every woman should have this tool in her back pocket.

We get into: • The moment I realized real estate was the key to building real wealth • Why traditional paths alone are not enough anymore • A breakdown of Miranda’s house hack and how she’s been able to repeat it • Why women building wealth is no longer optional, it’s necessary

This is not financial advice. This is me sharing what I’m learning, testing, and building in real time, and bringing you along for the ride.

If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more than just working for money… you’re in the right place.

Welcome to The RealHER State.

And if this episode spoke to you, share it with a bestie who’s ready to start building wealth too.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Miranda, and we are diving straight into the chaos of what happens after a long-term relationship ends.

After 6 and a half years together, Miranda found herself in a place she never expected, breaking up, moving out, and suddenly having to figure out who she is without the life she had built.

We talk about the messy middle. The part no one really prepares you for.

The moment she realized she had fallen out of love while in Europe, the emotional rollercoaster of starting over, and the deeper truth she had to face, that somewhere along the way, she stopped trusting herself.

This episode is about rebuilding that trust. Learning how to choose yourself again. And navigating that weird in between phase where everything feels uncertain, but also full of possibility.

And of course, Miranda brings her signature chaotic, bubbly energy to the conversation, because even in the hardest moments, sometimes you just have to laugh.

If you’ve ever felt like your life is completely up in the air and everyone keeps telling you “The world is your oyster” … but you’re like, what does that even mean… this one is for you.
