    From Survival Mode to Open Heart: Amanda Joy on Body-Based Trauma Recovery

    Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of sudden loss and the trauma that followed. Please take care while listening. In today’s episode of Found-HER, I sit down with Amanda Joy for a conversation that goes far beyond business and into the kind of deep, body-led healing most founders don’t realize they need. Amanda is a trauma-informed, body-based healing practitioner who blends somatics, breathwork, and lived experience to guide women out of survival mode and back into themselves.  After experiencing a life-altering tragedy, she began a journey of healing that transformed not only how she lives, but how she holds space for others. Together, we unpack what it really means to carry trauma in the body, why high-performing women often avoid the very work that would set them free, and how the “messy middle” of entrepreneurship is often a mirror for the deeper healing we’ve yet to face. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why success still feels heavy, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Please leave a review to support the show and connect with me on Instagram @kimberley.hiebert, because I’d love to hear what this conversation unlocked for you.

    From "I'm Just Mom" to CEO

    What do you do when life forces you to leave behind the identity you’ve built yourself on? Today on Found-HER, I talk to Katie Eberman, mother of three and the founder of Simply By Katie, a web design studio for women-led businesses ready to elevate their online presence and step into their fullest potential. Katie shares her journey from corporate life to seven years as a stay-at-home mom, and then into the unexpected reality of becoming a single mom and choosing to go all-in as an entrepreneur.  We talk about identity loss, self-worth, and what it actually looks like to rediscover yourself when your only option is to move forward. We also talk about the importance of visibility and storytelling, and why your website should feel like a home, not just a tool. If you’re a mom wondering if you can embody more than your current role, you’re going to love this episode. Please share this conversation with a fellow mom and subscribe to the podcast for more inspiring female founder stories.  Connect with Katie: Website Instagram Links: Hey Bestie, Sign Up for Our Found-Her Newsletter!

    Dragon's Den, a Keynote, and a Dumpster Fire: The Month Nobody Saw Behind the Scenes

    This season of building my legacy business has been full of the kind of momentum you only see on the highlight reels. But behind all the validation I’ve been receiving, I’ve been navigating some heavy and unexpected challenges that haven’t been making it to the stage. Today, I share what it’s felt like for me to hold both the expansion and the heartache at the exact same time, and how being in the messy middle of entrepreneurship often means learning to exist in both extremes without losing yourself. I share how this tension has forced me to come back to my “why” in deeper, more honest ways, especially in the moments where doubt creeps in and everything feels uncertain. This is founder therapy in real time and if you’re a woman building something bold and feeling the weight of both the highs and lows, I want you to know you’re not alone, and that both can be true without meaning you’re off track. If this all resonates, head over to Instagram and leave me a message, because I would love to know how you’re feeling. Links: Hey Bestie, Sign Up for Our Found-Her Newsletter!

    Closing the Chapter: The Messy, Liberating Truth About Pivoting Your Business

    Welcome back to Found-Her! In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Simone Richards, a Canadian female founder who made a bold pivot from a 20-year career in PR into building Pearl Spark Pages, a product-based business designed to help women build self-confidence and push past limiting beliefs. We talk about imposter syndrome and how even the most accomplished women still battle the voice that says “I’m not ready yet.” We also get into the realities of starting over, from learning an entirely new business model and navigating inconsistent cash flow, to building something from idea to retail shelves in just over a year. Lisa shares what it looked like to let go of a long-held identity and stay grounded in the belief that she’s “three feet from gold.” If you’ve been questioning your next move or waiting to feel ready, let this conversation be your reminder that growth doesn’t come from certainty, it comes from trusting yourself.

    Doors Are Boring. Here’s Why I Built a Franchise Around Them Anyway.

    I recently found myself sitting in a room full of successful women, being asked a question that stopped me in my tracks: “Are you actually passionate about doors?” And the truth is, I’m not. In today’s episode of Found-Her, I’m sharing with you what I am actually passionate about: people, their growth, their ability to change their story, and the opportunity to build wealth and legacy in a way that impacts future generations.  So I’m bringing you into that question: what are you actually passionate about, and are you unintentionally limiting your growth by tying that passion too tightly to the wrong model? I share how separating passion from execution has been key in building a scalable, legacy-driven business, and why you don’t have to sacrifice revenue to stay connected to what lights you up. If this episode hits, I want to hear from you. Send me a DM @Kimberley.Hiebert on Instagram and let’s chat. Links: Hey Bestie, Sign Up for Our Found-Her Newsletter!

    Bringing Sexy Back to Operations

    In today’s episode of Found-Her, I sit down with Alyssa Truelove, founder of True Hive Consulting, a systems and team operations firm helping female entrepreneurs step out of the day-to-day and into true CEO leadership. Alyssa brings a human-first perspective to operations, reminding us that building a scalable business isn’t just about systems, it’s about the vision and trust we build them with. We talk about Alyssa's journey from service-based work and burnout to building a business rooted in freedom. We get into the tension that comes with releasing control, including the fear of investing in your team and the identity shift required to become a founder who truly trusts others to think, lead, and grow. If this episode inspires you to build better and lead bigger, share it with a business bestie and come connect with us on Instagram because we’d love to hear what you’re stepping into next.

    Finding Your Success

    What happens when your success no longer fits the woman you’ve become? Today on Found-Her, I welcome leadership strategist Sarah Khan, for a conversation on building success on your own terms. Sarah’s work is all about redefining what power looks like for high-performing women and in this conversation, she opens up about the moment she realized that she wasn't cut out to be a corporate unicorn. We talk about burnout masked as achievement and the realization that our worth is not tied to how much we can produce. We also get into the different phases and feelings of rebuilding: leaving behind what doesn’t serve you anymore, choosing intentional growth over reactive survival, and learning to lead from who you are now and not who you were expected to be. For those craving a more sustainable way to lead, it starts with recognizing that you are already whole. Share this episode with your business bestie and stay tuned for more expansive conversations like this one!  Connect with Sarah: Website LinkedIn Sarah’s TedxTalk Instagram Listen to Sarah’s podcast: Get Outta the Damn Jar Substack Links: Hey Bestie, Sign Up for Our Found-Her Newsletter!
