Lynn shares her unconventional career journey, from being a Tanya Harding lookalike to building a business centered around comedy and creating opportunities for women. Lynn talks about the power of community and collaboration in business and why asking for help can be one of the strongest things an entrepreneur can do. She opens up about the role humor has played in her own personal growth and why comedy can be much more than entertainment—it can be a powerful tool for challenging norms, creating connection, and driving social change. She also shares practical lessons on staying visible, repurposing content, and taking action when the right opportunity comes along. From launching a podcast using content she had already created to navigating male-dominated spaces, Lynn encourages women to own their space, challenge the expectations placed on them, and recognize when it’s time to take the leap. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to figure everything out alone. Sometimes growth comes from asking for help, finding your people, using what you already have in a new way, and being willing to seize the moment when an opportunity appears.

    Healing From the Other Side of the Exam Table with Madhuri Vasudevan

    In this episode of the Six Figure Chicks Podcast, host Mel C sits down with Dr. Madhuri Vasudevan, an endocrinologist at the Houston VA and Baylor College of Medicine who is nationally recognized for her work in diabetes care and her approach to treating the whole person. After spending her career caring for others, Madhuri found herself on the other side of the exam table facing a health challenge that changed her physically and challenged everything she thought she knew about being the strong one. Madhuri opens up about what that experience taught her about trusting her own intuition, listening to herself, and allowing the women in her life to show up for her. She shares why leaning on her “chosen sisters” became so important during a difficult season and the three things she turns to when life starts to feel overwhelming: breathe, get outside, and call the women who love you. She also talks about finding her way back to the parts of herself that can easily get lost in the responsibilities of everyday life. From buying herself a hula hoop to sitting back down at the piano, Madhuri shares why reconnecting with the little girl you once were can be a powerful way to remember what brings you joy. And in true Six Figure Chicks fashion, she shares the fun side of her life too, including singing in a cover band with her husband. Madhuri is one of the authors featured in Six Figure Chicks Houston Volume One, where she shares her personal story of vulnerability, healing, and finding her way back to herself. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • What it feels like to go from being the caregiver to being the patient • Learning to trust your own intuition and inner voice • The importance of allowing others to support you • Finding strength in friendships and chosen family • Three simple practices Madhuri turns to when life feels overwhelming • Reconnecting with the things that brought you joy as a child • Why vulnerability can be part of healing and growth • Balancing the responsibilities of life without losing yourself • The power of making space for fun, creativity, and connection • Madhuri’s journey as an author in Six Figure Chicks Houston Volume One Connect with Madhuri: https://www.madhuridances.com Want to be a featured author in the next Six Figure Chicks book?

    Episode 30: Denette Cooke: Burnout and Boundaries, from Chemist to Vet

    In this episode of the Six Figure Chicks Podcast, host Mel C sits down with Denette Cooke, veterinarian, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Cooke Veterinary Medical Center, for an honest conversation about career pivots, caregiver burnout, boundaries, and building a business rooted in purpose. Denette almost became a chemist before making a major career change and entering veterinary school at 32, eventually building her own animal hospital and spending more than two decades combining Western medicine with integrative and energy healing. Denette opens up about the connection between being a lifelong caregiver and struggling with boundaries, including how being “parentified” early in life shaped the way she showed up for others. She shares the important difference between supporting someone and over-supporting or controlling them, and why setting boundaries isn't a one-time decision but an ongoing skill. She also gets candid about burnout and how pouring yourself into your work can sometimes be a way of avoiding what is happening in your personal life. After 24 years in veterinary medicine, Denette is now using her experience to help address the mental health crisis within the veterinary profession through a nonprofit focused on supporting veterinary professionals. This conversation is a powerful reminder that burnout is not a badge of honor, and that taking care of yourself, setting healthy boundaries, and leading with purpose can ultimately make you better at caring for everyone else. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • Denette’s journey from chemist to veterinarian later in life • Building an animal hospital rooted in integrative and holistic care • The connection between being “parentified” and becoming a lifelong caregiver • The difference between supporting someone and over-supporting or controlling them • Why boundaries are an ongoing skill rather than a one-time fix • How pouring yourself into work can become a way of avoiding your personal life • Caregiver burnout and mental health in high-stress professions • Why prioritizing people and pets over the bottom line can lead to better business results • Denette’s nonprofit focused on mental health support for veterinary professionals • Why making people aware of mental health resources is just as important as having the resources available • Building a business and career rooted in purpose over profit Connect with Denette: Veterinary Practice: Cooke Veterinary Medical Center Author Website: Dr. Denette Cooke Facebook: Denette Cooke on Facebook YouTube: Dr. Cooke on YouTube Part of the Six Figure Chicks book collaboration series.
