    EP|23 Losing My Mom to Alzheimer’s | The Real Story of Caregiving, Grief & Family

    This episode of  @SaucyNotBossy is a personal one. @shannaferrigno opens up about her mom, Carla Ferrigno, her life, and the reality of losing someone to Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a conversation about family, caregiving, grief, and holding onto the person you love while watching parts of them slowly disappear. Carla Ferrigno was unforgettable. She was sharp, confident, stylish, hardworking, and completely herself. She didn’t care much for fake people or surface-level relationships. She valued honesty, loyalty, and showing up for the people she loved. Over the years, Carla built a career as an actress, fitness author, and celebrity manager, but her family was always at the center of her world. She loved deeply, protected fiercely, and gave people the truth whether they asked for it or not. Alzheimer’s changed a lot. The conversations changed. The memories changed. Life changed. But even through the hardest moments, there were still pieces of Carla that remained — her strength, her presence, her way of making people feel seen. This episode is about who she was, what this disease takes, and the impact it leaves behind on the families living through it.

    EP|22 Why Setting Boundaries Is So Hard (And How to Finally Do It) | Dr. Courtney J. Williams

    What happens when you’re the person everyone relies on… but you’re quietly running on empty? In this episode, @shannaferrigno sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Courtney J. Williams, founder of @WilledByWellness, for a real conversation about boundaries — what they actually are, why so many of us struggle with them, and how learning to set them can completely change your life. They talk about the difference between boundaries and rules (spoiler: they’re not the same), how constantly people-pleasing can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health, and why so many women feel guilty the moment they try to protect their time and energy. Dr. Williams also shares her personal journey to becoming a psychologist, the powerful lessons she’s learned through caregiving, and how culture, family, and expectations shape the way we show up for others — often at the expense of ourselves. This episode is thoughtful, honest, and full of those “oh wow… I needed to hear that” moments. If you’ve ever struggled to say no, felt overwhelmed by responsibility, or wondered how to care for others without losing yourself in the process — this conversation is for you.

    EP|16 Why Being Yourself Is So Hard—and How Authenticity Helps You Find Your People | Katie McLaughlin

    In this real-talk conversation, Katie McLaughlin—CEO of BeGoodGuide.com—dives into the importance of authenticity, vulnerability, and what it really takes to find your people. She opens up about why so many individuals are afraid to be themselves and how taking small risks in showing up authentically is the key to building genuine community. Katie explains that when you show up as a version of yourself that isn’t real, you attract connections that aren’t aligned. True growth and meaningful relationships happen when you have the courage to be seen, test your authenticity, and trust that the right people will respond. This episode explores: - Why authenticity is essential for personal growth - The fear that holds people back from being their true selves - How vulnerability helps you find the right community - Why showing up honestly attracts aligned relationships - Building genuine connections through self-expression If you’re feeling disconnected, unsure of where you belong, or struggling to show up as your true self, this conversation will encourage you to take the leap and embrace who you are.
