Sometimes the biggest thing standing between where you are and where you want to be isn't strategy, it's the patterns you've been carrying for years.

In this episode, I sit down with occupational therapist and founder of Grow Beyond Collective, Becca Mattie, for a conversation about burnout, nervous system regulation, identity, and why sustainable growth starts from the inside out.

• What occupational therapy actually is (and why it's so misunderstood)
• The hidden patterns that keep us stuck—even when we know what to do
• Becca's Manifest, Disrupt, & Build. framework for creating lasting change

Real transformation isn't about doing more. It's about becoming someone who no longer has to fight themselves every step of the way.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or like you're constantly pushing uphill, this conversation might be exactly what you needed.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop forcing what's next and start honoring what's here.

In this conversation with Krista Ripma, we explore everything from AI and entrepreneurship to motherhood, intuition, and what it really means to trust the season you're in.

• Why AI should support your energy, not replace your creativity
• The shift from "using AI" to training AI to work for you
• How motherhood teaches surrender, trust, and presence
• The power of honoring what's real in your current season instead of fighting it

At the end of the day, life isn't asking us to have everything figured out. It's asking us to stay present enough to learn from what's right in front of us.

Maybe the season you're in isn't something to rush through. Maybe it's something to trust.

Sometimes the thing you're fighting against is actually the thing preparing you for what's next.

In this episode, I'm sharing a very real look at what happened when business slowed down right as life started speeding up and why I've been learning to trust the timing instead of trying to control it.

• Why my recent season of "waiting" turned out to be exactly what I needed
• The surfing analogy that completely shifted my perspective
• The surprising lesson I've been learning around devotion

If you're in a season where things feel delayed, uncertain, or slower than you'd like, this conversation is your reminder that not everything is meant to happen on your timeline.

Sometimes the pause is part of the plan.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my 29th year around the sun. From building a six-figure business… to buying a home… to becoming a mom… this year stretched me, cracked me open, and changed the way I see myself completely.

And honestly? Some of the biggest lessons came from the moments I didn’t plan for, the shifts I would’ve never predicted one year ago.

I dive into the three biggest lessons from this past year (plus one bonus lesson that’s been hitting hard lately).

We talk about:

• Why “never” is a dangerous word
• Simplifying my business and getting clear on what actually matters
• What it means to truly trust the timing of your life
• Why I finally started owning the fact that I run two businesses

When you dive into personal development, you truly never know how your life will change. This year is proof again. When you do the work, many things can shift…. Slowly or all at one time.

Masterminding has become one of the biggest pillars of my business, but probably not in the way most people think about it. In this episode, I’m sharing what masterminding actually means to me, why I believe it’s so powerful, and how it creates real transformation when done intentionally.

In this episode, I talk about:

• What masterminding truly is (and what it’s not)
• The difference between workshops, coaching, & true mastermind experiences
• The framework I’ve built to help people leave with clarity and action
• How I’m bringing mastermind facilitation into immersions, events, and communities

Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t another strategy. Sometimes it’s finally having space to be seen, supported, challenged, and poured into by people who truly get it.

Come mastermind, integrate, & implement.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs happen when you finally step away from the day-to-day.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on my latest women’s business immersion, the conversations, connections, unexpected realizations, and the moments that reminded me why I do this work in the first place.

• Why getting out of your normal environment changes everything
• How motherhood is changing the way I view business and leadership
• The surprising breakthroughs that happened by day three
• Why community and collaboration matter more than strategy alone
• The importance of creating space to actually integrate and take action

There’s something powerful about being in a room where people genuinely want to see each other win. This Immersion reminded me that growth doesn’t always come from doing more, sometimes it comes from slowing down enough to finally hear yourself clearly.

I said yes to a huge opportunity… and then came face-to-face with fears I didn’t realize were still running the show. This episode is about success, visibility, and what growth really asks of us.

• The unexpected invitation that stretched me in a big way
• My fear of jealousy, judgment, and making others uncomfortable
• How I realized I’ve been shrinking myself for years
• Processing success while my nervous system was in overload

Growth isn’t always loud and confident. Sometimes it looks like tears, fear, and choosing not to hide anyway.

What if the parts of you you’ve been hiding… are actually the parts meant to lead you back to yourself?

In this episode, I’m sharing the realization I had around how long I’ve been shrinking my joy, muting my passions, and trying to look “professional” instead of fully being myself.

• How fear of judgment can disconnect us from what we love
• Why I stopped downplaying my Disney obsession, book nerdiness, and joy
• How joy, play, and fun help you show up better in life and business
• Questions to ask yourself about what lights you up right now
• Why your people can’t find you if you keep hiding who you are

Maybe the thing you’ve been shrinking is the very thing that makes you magnetic. What would change if you let it take up space?
