In this episode, Gabriella sits down with Vidhi Shastri, holistic physical therapist and founder of Retrain Physical Therapy, to unpack what burnout really looks like — and why so many women are experiencing it on repeat.

Vidhi shares her personal journey through burnout while working in a corporate physical therapy environment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that breaking point led her to a deeper, body-led approach to healing. Through holistic practices, craniosacral therapy, and somatic work, she learned how to stop overriding her body and start listening to it instead.

Together, Gabriella and Vidhi explore why burnout is often normalized for women, how societal pressure disconnects us from our bodies, and why healing is rarely linear. Vidhi also shares how she supports mothers and babies through workshops designed to help them reconnect with their bodies after childbirth.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, build internal resources, and trust that your body already knows the way.

In this episode of There Is No Plan B, Gabby sits down with marketing consultant and strategist Sarah Gemmell to give you a straight-up State of the Union for 2026 marketing.

If you’ve been hustling—posting on Instagram, networking, sending emails—but your revenue still feels like a rollercoaster (“I’m a bad bitch” one month, “Should I get a job?” the next 👀), this conversation is your reset button.

Sarah breaks down why the marketing you did in 2020–2022 doesn’t work the same anymore, how buyer behavior has changed, and why “just be consistent and provide value” is not a marketing plan in 2026. Instead, she walks you through how to think like a Chief Marketing Officer in your own business: looking at data, understanding buying behavior, and treating your marketing like a full ecosystem—not a random collection of posts.

• Why 2026 is a turning point for small business marketing (and why emotional FOMO-only marketing is dead)

• The difference between habitual marketing (“I just post on IG because I always have”) vs. intentional, data-driven marketing

• How to treat your business like it has a real marketing department, even if you’re a one-woman show

• Why relying only on Instagram, word of mouth, or one platform is putting your business at risk

• The three big questions:

  • Where are you getting visible?

  • How are you nurturing people?

  • How are you converting them?

• Why you should bootstrap manually at first (conversations, local networking, testing channels) before trying to automate everything

• How to decide which platforms to go all in on based on your strengths and your audience’s behavior—not what a guru says

• The real talk on courses, plug-and-play frameworks, and cookie-cutter strategies (and how to use them without handing over your power)

• Why most service providers don’t need thousands of buyers—just a few more right-fit clients per month

• Sarah’s biggest advice from “future you” in 2026: stay the course and give your strategy time to work

• Service-based entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who’ve been in the game for a bit and have proof of concept, but inconsistent sales

• Founders who feel like they’re doing “all the things” and still can’t predict their revenue

• Anyone who’s ready to stop chasing trends and start acting like the CMO of their own business

In this episode of There Is No Plan B, Gabriella Borrero sits down with Neli Rodriguez, founder of Embellished Ribbon.

During her postpartum depression, Neli found herself struggling quietly, doing what so many women do: holding it together on the outside while unraveling on the inside. Candle making became her outlet — a grounding ritual, a way to calm her nervous system, and a space where she could finally breathe.

Those moments turned into something bigger. Each Embellished Ribbon candle is hand-poured and paired with affirmations pulled straight from Nellie’s personal journals — words she wrote for herself before she ever imagined sharing them with the world.

This conversation is about healing out loud, building something meaningful without having it all figured out, and how community, collaboration, and courage can turn your hardest seasons into your most impactful work.

If you’re a woman who’s ever thought “I should be further along by now” — this one’s for you.

• Some of the best businesses are born in survival mode

• Healing doesn’t always look like therapy — sometimes it looks like creating

• Affirmations can regulate your nervous system when words feel hard

• You don’t need a perfect plan to start — just permission

• Motherhood changes you, and your business gets to evolve too

• Community support is non-negotiable for women entrepreneurs

• Collaboration > competition (always)

• Growth happens one small, brave step at a time

• Celebrating yourself matters — especially when no one else is watching
