    EP|25 Growing Up in a Funeral Home Changed How She Sees Death | Katie Radel

    In this deeply heartfelt episode of @SaucyNotBossy  @shannaferrigno sits down with Katie Radel for one of the most honest and healing conversations yet about grief, death, love, and what it truly means to live fully. Katie grew up in a funeral home, giving her a unique relationship with death from a very young age. Instead of fearing it, she learned to see death as a natural part of life — something that can teach us to love deeper, be more present, and stop taking time for granted. This conversation is emotional, grounding, eye-opening, and one so many people need right now. Whether you’re grieving someone you’ve lost, moving through a difficult season, or simply trying to live more intentionally, this episode will stay with you long after it ends. Shanna and Katie talk openly about grief, why our culture struggles to have honest conversations about death, and how loss can completely reshape the way we view relationships, purpose, and presence. Katie also shares powerful insights on supporting grieving families, creating meaningful legacies, and finding beauty even in life’s hardest moments. In this episode: • Growing up in a funeral home and how it shaped Katie’s perspective on death • Why talking openly about grief and loss matters • How grief changes over time and what healing can really look like • The emotional weight of losing people we love • Death positivity, death cafés, and changing the conversation around dying • How small acts of kindness deeply impact grieving families • The importance of presence and intentional living • What it means to leave behind a meaningful legacy If you’ve ever experienced loss, questioned life after grief, or needed a reminder to slow down and appreciate the people you love, this episode is for you.

    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.
