    YES to Audacity | Why WOMEN Must Stop Making Themselves Small
    2026/05/14

    What if the thing standing between you and your next level… isn't strategy?

    What if it's audacity?

    In this episode of YES, WOMAN, Carina dives into the conditioning that keeps women quiet, careful, "humble," and afraid to fully claim what they want. From money, purpose, and visibility… to dancing wildly at a wedding without caring who's watching… this conversation is about what becomes possible when a WOMAN stops shrinking herself to make other people comfortable.

    This is the episode for the WOMAN who knows she's meant for more, but still hears the voice asking:
    "Who do you think you are?"

    Powerful Moments From This Episode

    "If there's one thing we as women need to get better at in order to fulfill our dreams… it's audacity."

    "What you want wants you."

    "What's riskier? Being thought of as rude for asking… or dying knowing you never tried?"

    "If you're not full of yourself, who's going to be full of you?"

    "The audacity to ask is the difference between women who achieve their dreams and women who don't."

    If this episode moved you, send it to the WOMAN in your life who's ready to stop waiting and start claiming what she truly wants.

    And if you haven't already, subscribe to YES, WOMAN for weekly conversations on feminine power, purpose, joy, audacity, and becoming fully alive.

    Yes to getting unstuck

    Why women leaders freeze when they know they're meant for more

    You're not lazy.
    You're not unmotivated.
    And you're definitely not broken.

    So why do so many capable, brilliant, purpose-driven women keep freezing when it comes to the thing they say they want most?

    In this deeply personal episode, Carina unpacks the invisible trauma responses that keep women stuck in busyness, overwhelm, perfectionism, and self-abandonment — even when they know they are here for more.

    From childhood conditioning… to inherited trauma… to the fear of visibility and leadership… this conversation goes beneath mindset and into the body.

    This episode is for the WOMAN who feels the ache for more, but keeps finding herself pulled away from her purpose, distracted by everyone else's needs, or frozen at the edge of her next level.

    And it's also a reminder:

    You were never meant to do this alone.

    In This Episode
    • Why high-achieving WOMEN still sabotage the things they want most
    • The hidden trauma response behind procrastination and "I have no time"
    • Why your nervous system may see visibility and leadership as unsafe
    • How inherited trauma impacts ambition, purpose, and self-expression
    • The difference between desire and deep knowing
    • Why purpose becomes stronger than fear
    • The real reason WOMEN stay busy instead of fully expressed
    • How sisterhood and support help heal the trauma body
    • Why Carina believes WOMEN are urgently needed in leadership right now
    • The transformational process behind MORE: 21 Days of Audacity
    Memorable Quotes

    "Purpose is the great elevator."

    "Higher than desire is knowing."

    "The trauma body is so powerful — the majority of our body is designed for survival."

    "We remember who the fuck we are."

    "I will not let you get to 85 years old and wonder where your life went."

    "You were given these dreams and this vision for a reason."

    "You're not asking for too much. Your soul is asking you to expand."

    What You'll Learn
    • Why mom guilt isn't the truth—and how to release it
    • The real reason your child's behavior triggers you
    • How ADHD and "neurodivergent" traits are actually strengths
    • The power of emotional regulation (for you, not just your child)
    • Why self-care alone isn't enough—and what actually works
    • How to say NO to your kids without guilt

In this deeply personal episode, I take you inside my own journey from being the perfect child, to chasing the perfect life, to realizing none of it actually made me happy.

  • YES to your YES

    YES to your YES
    2026/03/17
    What if the most radical thing a WOMAN could do…
    is say YES to herself?

    In the very first episode of YES, WOMAN - Carin Rockind asks a bold question:
    Why are we alive if not to feel that full-bodied, radiant YES about our own lives?

    As the founder and CEO of the Institute of WOMAN, Carin Rockind has spent over 15 years working with thousands of women and she's seen the same pattern again and again:
    WOMEN say NO to themselves & say YES to everyone else.

    In this deeply personal and powerful opening episode, Carin shares:
    • Why saying NO collapses the body—and YES brings us back to life
    • How childhood conditioning trains women to silence desire, truth, and joy
    • The hidden link between suppressed dreams and depression
    • Why "selfish" has been weaponized against women—and why it's time to reclaim it
    • How one near-death experience became the moment she vowed to never say NO to her purpose again
    This episode is a call home for every WOMAN who:
    Feels numb, flat, or quietly unfulfilled
    Has dreams she's been minimizing or postponing Because here's the truth:

    A lit up WOMAN lights up this world. This is not about being a YES WOMAN to everyone else.

    This is YES, WOMAN
    a movement, a mindset, and a permission slip to say YES to your truth, your desires, your body, your dreams, and your life.

    Welcome to YES, WOMAN.

  • YES FAILING IS GOOD

    YES FAILING IS GOOD
    2026/03/17
    Failing Ferociously, Owning Your Ambition & Saying YES to Yourself with Monica Dominic

    In this soul-shaking episode of YES WOMAN, Carina sits down with the electrifying, big-hearted Monica Dominic
    entrepreneur, keynote speaker, podcast host, and author of the upcoming book Ferocious Ambition for a conversation that will change how you see failure, ambition, and yourself.

    This episode is a love letter to the WOMAN who's been taught to fear failure, shrink her ambition, or carry shame that was never hers to begin with. Together, Carina and Monica pull back the curtain on what it really takes to live a bold, wealthy, purpose-driven life—one rooted in heart, courage, and radical self-trust.

    If you've ever been fired, doubted yourself, stayed too long in something that felt like a no, or wondered whether you're "too much" or "not enough," this conversation is for you.

    In This Episode, We Talk About:
    Why failure is not the problem—fear of shame is
    What it means to fail ferociously (and why it's the fastest path to growth)
    The radical truth: failure does not mean you are a failure
    How women carry shame differently than men—and how to release it
    Saying YES to yourself when the world tells you to play it safe
    Why authenticity is the real secret to rising above
    Knowing when something is a holy hell YES—and when it's time to walk away

    Quotes You'll Feel in Your Bones:
    • "If it doesn't fail, you're not pushing yourself hard enough."
    • "You have survived 100% of your worst days."
    • "When it stopped being fun, I honored myself and said goodbye."
    • "Failure does not mean you are a failure."
    • "You are worthy—of love, ambition, joy, and greatness."

      About Monica Dominic
      Monica Dominic is the co-owner and Chief Client Officer of ProTeam Solutions, host of the Ferocious Ambition Podcast, and a globally sought-after keynote speaker. She is known for helping WOMEN own their ambition, speak their truth, and rise—without apology.

      Her upcoming book, Ferocious Ambition, shares raw, real stories of failure, resilience, reinvention, and what it actually takes to build a powerful life and career.

  • YES... YOUR FIRE (the year of the firehorse)

    YES... YOUR FIRE (the year of the firehorse)
    2026/03/17

    What if this year is asking you to shed your old life and step into the WOMAN you were always meant to be?

    In this episode of the YES, WOMAN Podcast, Carina explores the powerful symbolism of the Year of the Fire Horse, a rare energetic combination that represents movement, courage, passion, and bold new beginnings.

    After the completion of a nine-year cycle, we are entering a moment of ignition. A time when many women feel a deep pull toward reinvention, purpose, and personal freedom. But before we step forward, we often have to shed the beliefs, stories, and expectations that have kept us small.

    This episode dives into the deeper meaning of cycles, transformation, feminine power, and why this moment in history is calling WOMEN to rise.

    If you've been craving more purpose, more aliveness, more truth, or a midlife reinvention, this conversation will help you understand why that calling is showing up now—and how to say YES to it.

    In This Episode Carina explores:

    • Why the transition into a new numerology cycle signals a time for bold new beginnings

    • The deeper symbolism of the Year of the Snake and why shedding old identities is necessary for growth

    • How women's natural cycles mirror transformation, rebirth, and renewal

    • The cultural story of Eve, knowledge, and the historical suppression of women's desire for more

    • The psychological concept of learned helplessness and how it keeps many WOMEN stuck

    • Why the Fire Horse energy represents movement, passion, creativity, and leadership

    • How to recognize when your soul is calling you toward a new life or purpose

    • The power of taking small courageous actions that ignite transformation

    The Big Message

    The Fire Horse energy is about momentum, courage, and living fully alive.

    It doesn't tolerate stagnation.
    It burns away what no longer serves.

    This year invites every WOMAN to ask:

    • What am I ready to shed?

    • What life is calling me forward?

    • What would it look like to say YES to myself now?

    Sometimes saying yes looks bold and visible.

    Sometimes it's quiet and personal.

    But every step toward your truth creates momentum.
