You’re allowed to pivot, experiment, and choose yourself without apologizing. = If you’re craving ambition that feels like you, this conversation is your permission slip to take up space, start small, and keep going.

    Love & Life: How High-Achieving Women Can Foster Deeper Partnership & Connection at Home with Kyle Benson

    Burnout thrives in the shadows of “I’ve got it,” and today we drag it into the light with a research-backed, heart-forward path to real partnership with sex therapist and EFT specialist Kyle Benson. In our conversation, we unpack how attachment styles shape the way we love, fight, and share the load at home and why so many high-achieving moms end up carrying it all behind a polished exterior. We trace the roots of secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment and translate them into everyday moments: the lunchbox that always falls to you, the mental checklist that never ends, the hug that feels oddly hard to initiate. Kyle shows how to move from manager-and-helper dynamics to true shared ownership, where your partner notices, plans, and executes tasks without prompts. You’ll hear a simple framework for giving feedback without micromanaging, plus a weekly check-in ritual that protects standards while building trust. We also break down the “3 by 3” micro moments, three minutes, three times a day, to reset your nervous system and rekindle warmth. If intimacy feels awkward after distance, Kyle’s “name it, tame it, change it” approach offers a clear script to make affection safe again. If you’ve felt alone in the invisible load or stuck in perfection mode, this conversation gives you permission and the playbook to do it differently. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs backup, and leave a review to help more rockstar moms find their way back to ease and secure love. Your next small step could change everything.  We’d love to hear your feedback! Send us a text We’d love to hear your feedback!

    The Self-Made Mom: Reclaiming Confidence, Joy, and Power as a Working Mother with Julia Sewell

    A shattered acrylic cup on a snowy Colorado driveway became the wake-up call: something had to change. From that vivid moment, we dive in with performance coach and author Julia Sewell into the practical tools working moms need to move from autopilot to intentional living, without burning down the lives they love. We talk about confidence you can count on, boundaries that protect your heart, and identity that exists beyond job titles and parenting roles. Julia breaks down the real difference between dependent confidence  and independent confidence and maps the path how to move from one to the other. We dive into setting boundaries, the power of values and daily wins, and more.   This conversation is equal parts heartfelt and tactical, weaving stories with step-by-step shifts that make a real difference on hard days. Julia also offers a preview of her upcoming book, Self-Made Mom, a guide for working mothers who want power, intention, and joy without abandoning ambition or family. If you’ve felt joyless in the grind, stuck chasing gold stars, or invisible inside the roles you carry, you’ll find a blueprint here for a life that feels more like you. If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more moms find these tools.  We’d love to hear your feedback!

    Menopause as a Gift & Reclaiming Your Health in Midlife with Bria Gadd

    What if the symptoms you’re feeling aren’t a life sentence, but a highlighter pointing to what needs care? That’s the heart of my conversation with Bria Gadd, the Period Whisperer, as we unpack perimenopause, menopause, and the real reason so many high achievers hit a wall in midlife. Bria introduces “health debt,” the gap between the energy your body can supply and the energy your life demands, and shows how to rebuild capacity without more hustle. We start where change actually sticks: sleep that restores, three real meals with enough protein, daily steps, hydration, and fewer metabolic drains like sugar, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods. Then we raise your “salary” by improving food quality and using short-term tracking as a curiosity tool, not a diet. If symptoms linger, Bria explains how functional testing—GI mapping, minerals, adrenals, thyroid—can reveal hidden stressors that keep you stuck even when standard labs look “normal.” You’ll get a simple breakdown of gut health and why absorption, enzymes, and inflammation matter as much as what’s on your plate. From there, we widen the lens: joy, creativity, relationships, and purpose aren’t extras; they’re soul food that compounds energy. We talk toxin-light living, practical swaps for products, air, and water, and why strength training is the best long-term investment in hormone health, bone density, and longevity. Cardio can be for joy, but muscle is your armor. Curious about peptides? Bria shares how these gentle messengers can help once your foundations and hormones are optimized, acting like a signal boost rather than a shortcut. If you’ve been pushing harder and feeling worse, this conversation offers a clear map back to yourself. Listen, take one minimal viable action this week, and let momentum build. If the episode helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review so more women can find their way to strength, ease, and joy. We’d love to hear your feedback!

    Money Made Simple For Busy Moms with Rachel Coons

    If money feels like a roller coaster, you’re not imagining it—most of us were never taught how to build a calm, confident relationship with our finances.  And we all know, finances are 100% part of our financial wellness -- if they can be one of the biggest stressors, if there are ways to reduce that stress, we're going to address it!  In this episode Megan shares her conversation with Rachel Coons from Season 2 of The ROCKSTAR Mom Virtual Event.   Rachel is a mom of four who turned her own budget stress into a practical system that helps families save real money without adding more to an already packed schedule. Together, we explore the simple grocery strategy that creates quick wins and the deeper mindset work that makes those wins last. Rachel breaks down her SHOP Method and we talk real numbers with an approachable per-person target. Then we take it deeper. Money is emotional, and the stories we tell ourselves drive our choices. We unpack the guilt, perfectionism, and urgency that keep many women stuck, and we offer a new frame: money as a relationship you can reshape. When you shift the story from “I’m bad with money” to “I’m building simple systems that work for us,” the emotions settle and consistent action follows. More income can help, but mindset and gentle structure are what turn chaos into clarity. If you’re ready to spend less, stress less, and feel more in control, this conversation gives you the tools and the encouragement to start today.  Subscribe for more actionable strategies, share this episode with a friend who needs a calm money plan, and leave a review to help other rockstar moms find the show. What’s the first step you’ll take this week?

    The Power of Pause: Why Slowing Down Is the Key to More Energy, Presence, and Peace

    Hustle culture tells us to go faster. We chose to question that script and make a case for the tiny, powerful pauses that change everything—your choices, your energy, and your peace.  As a two-time burnout survivor and coach, Megan shares why slowing down is not a luxury but a strategy for high-achieving moms who want to thrive at work and home without the guilt. We dig into the Rockstar Framework—values and vision, mindset mastery, energy management, nervous system regulation, and community—and show how the practice of pause threads through every pillar. You’ll learn the difference between big pauses (therapy, coaching, journaling, weekly planning) and little pauses (thirty-second check-ins woven into your day), and how both create space to respond instead of react.  aThe heart of the method is simple and doable: ask three questions—How do I feel? What do I want? What do I need? This small sequence clears mental clutter, calms your nervous system, and makes the next step obvious. Megan shares a client stories and why learning to slow down can be so hard.  Plus a gift for you, especially for those who need some support slowing down or do best with some type of structure.  Download your free five-minute Release and Reset meditation at the following link and enjoy:  Free 5 Minute Release & Reset Meditation https://www.subscribepage.com/rrmeditation  If this episode resonates, subscribe, leave a quick review, and share the episode with a friend who’s ready to swap burnout for ease.
