If you’re in a season of transition and quietly wondering, “Did I miss my window?”—this episode is for you.

Penny is joined by Julie DeLucca-Collins, confidence coach, author, and fellow podcaster, for an honest conversation about career pivots, self-trust, and why you’re never truly starting over. Julie shares how being laid off during the pandemic became the catalyst for building a purpose-driven business—and how confidence is less about being fearless and more about trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

Together, Penny and Julie explore the quiet strength women often overlook, the transferable skills we carry through every chapter of life, and the power of community, sisterhood, and “believing mirrors” to help us see what we can’t always see in ourselves.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why so many capable women underestimate their experience
• The myth of “starting over” in midlife
• How confidence is built through small, brave moves
• Letting go of hustle culture and redefining success
• The role of community and sisterhood in personal growth
• Trusting yourself—even when you feel unsure or afraid

This conversation is honest, encouraging, and grounding—one that reminds you nothing you’ve lived, learned, or survived has been wasted.

Pour a drink, settle in, and let this episode meet you exactly where you are.

There’s a moment many women reach—usually after a few decades of living—when things get clearer. The stories don’t quite add up anymore. The excuses land flat. And that inner voice gets a whole lot louder.

In this episode of Penny for Your Shots, I sit down with therapist Gina Haras for a thoughtful conversation about wisdom, discernment, and why our “BS meter” tends to get sharper with age. We explore how experience shapes clarity, why empathetic women often question themselves early on, and how growth allows us to trust what we feel instead of explaining it away.

This isn’t about labeling people or revisiting old drama. It’s about recognizing patterns, honoring intuition, and leaning into the wisdom you’ve earned.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why midlife brings clearer boundaries and stronger discernment
• The difference between love, attachment, and emotional confusion
• How self-trust develops through lived experience
• Why healing leads to better choices—not bitterness
• Learning to listen to your body and intuition without second-guessing

If you’ve ever thought, “I see things so differently now,” this episode will feel like a knowing nod—and a reminder that your clarity didn’t happen by accident.

If you’ve ever questioned your value, your voice, or whether you’re really using your seat at the table the way you’re meant to—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Sarah Barnes-Humphrey, a longtime logistics leader, podcast host, nonprofit founder, and author whose work centers on self-worth, inclusion, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and heard.

Sarah shares her journey through male-dominated industries, unexpected career pivots, and the quiet inner work of protecting self-worth when titles change, doors close, or life doesn’t go according to plan. Together, we talk about privilege, responsibility, and the power we often give away—without even realizing it.

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about leadership, presence, and choosing to show up with intention.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why self-worth isn’t something you “figure out” once and for all
• How titles, labels, and external validation can distort confidence
• Recognizing your power in the rooms you’re already in
• The responsibility that comes with privilege and visibility
• Creating safe spaces where real conversations can happen
• Letting go of shame and giving yourself more grace

If you’re navigating a pivot, stepping into leadership, or feeling the nudge to stop playing small, this conversation will remind you that your voice matters—and how you use it matters, too.

🍸 Grab a drink, settle in, and join us.
