    Ep 51: From FBI to Founder: Alison Bosworth on Strength, Confidence & Building Strong Is Beautiful

    In this episode of The Activated Entrepreneur Podcast, the conversation explores Alison Bosworth’s powerful journey from the FBI and the cannabis startup world to creating Strong Is Beautiful—a movement redefining what strength looks like for women and girls. The episode unpacks how lived experiences, personal healing, and years of teaching martial arts revealed a gap in how women are taught about safety, leading to the creation of a brand rooted in both physical readiness and inner resilience. Alison shares how listening to intuition, following the inner nudge, and allowing the vision to evolve helped Strong Is Beautiful grow from a simple idea into meaningful, community-based work. The discussion also goes deeper into women’s empowerment through internal safety, boundaries, voice, intuition, and the integration of both masculine action and feminine trust. Alison opens up about how family dynamics, conditioning, and cultural expectations shape how women show up in their bodies, relationships, and work—and how her workshops now help women and young girls build confidence, emotional intelligence, and real-world readiness together. This episode is a reminder that true strength isn’t just about aesthetics or performance—it’s about learning to feel safe within yourself, trust your instincts, and take empowered action in life and business.

    Ep 50: MY GI Bleed Experience: Timeline, What I learned, and What You Should Know

    In Episode, I share a raw, honest, moment-by-moment account of experiencing a lower GI bleed—from the first frightening symptoms at home to navigating the ER, being transferred between hospitals, and finally receiving clarity through a colonoscopy. This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness and empowerment. I walk you through what symptoms to take seriously, what medical numbers actually matter, what questions to ask, and how to recognize when care is falling short. I also break down what a lower GI bleed can mean, why bright red blood is significant, and what I wish I had known going into the hospital. Beyond the medical details, this episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy inside the healthcare system—especially when you’re scared, exhausted, in pain, or being dismissed. I open up about moments of fear, vulnerability, and emotional overwhelm, and how speaking up ultimately changed the outcome of my care. If you or someone you love has faced sudden health scares, unexplained bleeding, or frustrating hospital experiences, this episode offers both practical insight and emotional reassurance. You’re not alone—and your voice, questions, and boundaries matter more than you’ve been taught to believe.

    Ep 46: Personal Branding, Belonging, and Building a True Voice in Business with Olivia Omega

    Join us as guest Olivia Omega, a personal branding expert, TEDx speaker, and author, shares her profound insights on authenticity, boundaries, and the evolution of a brand. With nearly 25 years of experience, Olivia discusses the "adaptive self"—a space between being 100% true to oneself and performative acting—that allows entrepreneurs to show up effectively without burning out. She opens up about her personal journey as a mother and entrepreneur, revealing how women unknowingly abandon parts of themselves to fit into professional spaces. Olivia's core message is about the power of the "refresh" over "burning it all to the ground" when you outgrow your current brand. She encourages listeners to find beauty in the weathered parts of their journey and to reignite joy by reframing their perspective. To help others navigate their own transitions, Olivia is preparing a brand refresh for 2026, offering a parallel mother-daughter memoir titled Through Her Eyes, and taking the helm of Women Entrepreneurship Day in Denver to mentor the next generation of leaders.

    Ep 45: Learning to Lead Yourself Through Uncertainty with Author Jamie Estelle Roth

    Join us as Guest Jamie Estelle Roth, a writer and speaker, shares her deeply personal journey of resilience and trust after suddenly losing her eyesight and suffering severe health crises in her 50s. This life-changing period forced her to stop "white-knuckling" life and instead surrender and become present. The turning point occurred in the hospital when, after a moment of despair, she realized her desire to live was rooted in being present for the "small moments" or "in-between moments" of daily connection with her family. Her experience of physical loss led to a profound spiritual awakening, which she chronicled as a form of therapy in her book. Jamie's core message is to remain present, trust in the process, and believe in the possibilities, even when life feels chaotic. She encourages listeners to embrace whatever emotions arise and let go of what doesn't serve their higher self. To help others, Jamie is launching a podcast, My Higher Self Has Questions, and offering one-on-one sessions, guiding people to connect with their intuition and be "activated" using her mantra: "Be present, breathe into it, become that which is".
