    Plug Back Into Your Power - Elizabeth Payne - S5 E10

    What if the version of success you built no longer fits, and the real path forward starts with five quiet minutes? That’s where our conversation with Elizabeth begins. She’s an engineer-turned-empowerment coach who helps people plug back into their power by aligning what they want with what they believe, feel, and do each day. We unpack the subtle signs of misalignment chronic unease, constant chasing, an inner no beneath an outer yes and why feeling clearer, not busier, is the truest performance metric. We dig into her simple framework: name a vivid vision, then empty the “backpack” of beliefs that fight it. Fear shows up for everyone, but it doesn’t have to be the driver. Elizabeth walks through finding the root of a fear, reframing it with evidence and choice, and getting the subconscious on board so action feels lighter. For high-achievers and logical thinkers, we talk about balancing analysis with possibility, replacing the demand for 40 steps with the next wise step, and using small experiments to build proof and momentum. You’ll hear practical tools you can start today: a five-minute daily quiet practice to sense your own energy and wants, questions that separate your voice from external noise, and ways to treat your past as a bridge rather than a prison. If you’re staring at a comfortable life that doesn’t feel like yours, this conversation offers a path back to clarity, courage, and forward motion. Listen, take one honest step, and tell us what comfort you’re ready to release.

    Unlocking Your Female Advantage Part 2- Katrina van Oudheusden - S5E8

    Ready to stop forcing your days into a 24-hour hustle that doesn’t fit your body? We sit down with Katrina, creator of the Create Her Planner, to reframe planning around lunar phases, seasonal energy, and the real rhythms women experience across life stages, including perimenopause and postmenopause. This is a practical, grounded conversation about matching tasks to timing so your best work happens when your brain and body are ready. We walk through how the planner blends a lunar calendar, weekly energy “batteries,” and focused prompts for money moves, marketing, and deep work. White space and mandalas shift planning from stress to clarity in five quiet minutes. You’ll hear stories from women using the system to write books faster, launch offers in the right window, and protect recovery days without guilt. We also talk candidly about privacy, why a paper-first tool keeps your health data in your hands, and how to communicate softer days with partners and teams so support shows up where it counts. Katrina shares what’s new for 2026: the Inner Circle planning community, Create Her Rewire coaching to build businesses that honor energy cycles, and intimate Reset Weekends, including a small-group, all-inclusive gathering in El Salvador. If you’ve ever wondered why some weeks flow while others fight you, this episode offers a clear framework to test: track your energy, align with lunar phases, and let your data guide when to sell, strategize, or simply rest. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs permission to slow down, and leave a review telling us your strongest season or moon phase.

    Unlocking Your Female Advantage Part 1 - Katrina van Oudheusden - S5E7

    What if everything you've been taught about productivity and business strategy was designed for someone else's biology? In this eye-opening conversation, former Disney chef turned business strategist Katrina Van Oudheusden reveals the missing piece in women's entrepreneurial education: understanding and leveraging the female infradian rhythm. Katrina shares her journey from thirteen years in Disney's kitchens to discovering that traditional business approaches weren't serving women entrepreneurs. After noticing women consistently struggled with rigid time management systems that men seemed to thrive with, she began exploring the biological differences that might explain this disconnect. What she discovered transformed her approach to business and life. The female monthly cycle isn't just about reproduction, it creates predictable patterns in creativity, communication ability, detail orientation, and energy levels that can be strategically harnessed for business success. Katrina breaks down the four phases of the infradian rhythm and explains how each brings unique cognitive strengths: the follicular phase for visionary planning, the ovulatory phase for crystal-clear communication and sales, the luteal phase for detail work and task completion, and the menstrual phase for neural connectivity and integration. Perhaps most fascinating is how this knowledge is already being applied by high-performers. Katrina reveals how the 2019 US Women's Soccer Team reportedly structured their training around players' cycles, contributing to their World Cup victory. For women entrepreneurs who feel burned out trying to follow productivity systems that conflict with their biology, this conversation offers both validation and a practical new approach. Ready to discover your unique flow and leverage your biological rhythms for greater success?

    Apple Pie, and History Coming to Life: The Magic of Riley's Farm - Jim Riley - S5E6

    Tucked away in the historic apple-growing region of Oak Glen, California, lies Riley's Farm – a 760-acre colonial living history experience that's become a beloved family tradition for thousands of Southern California families. Join Coach Mikki and farm owner Jim Riley as they explore how this remarkable destination evolved from a family vacation property into an immersive historical experience hosting 80,000 schoolchildren annually. Riley shares the serendipitous journey that led to creating a place where history comes alive through Revolutionary War reenactments, colonial dinners, and seasonal harvests. What make extraordinary isn't just its apple orchards or homemade pies – it's the opportunity for families to actively participate in American heritage rather than passively consume entertainment. From pressing apple cider in traditional presses to dancing in converted barns after farm-to-table meals, visitors create memories that digital experiences simply can't replicate. The conversation reveals something deeper happening at Riley's Farm – what Jim describes as a "mystical connection" many feel to agricultural rhythms. "Most of us are only three or four generations removed from the soil," he explains, suggesting that farm experiences tap into cultural memories embedded in our collective consciousness. As families disconnect from technology and reconnect with tactile experiences, they often discover joy in simple pleasures and gain appreciation for the sacrifices made by earlier Americans who built our nation through tremendous hardship and heroism. Whether you're looking for a unique family outing, seeking to understand American history beyond textbooks, or simply craving the taste of freshly pressed cider and homemade caramel apple pie, Riley's Farm offers an authentic escape from modern life. As Coach Mikki attests from years of visits, "It leaves a memory that you'll cherish."

    Finding Grace Through Trauma: Briana Rice's Journey of Healing and Empowerment S5E5

    When life deals you an unexpected blow, do you crumble or transform? For Briana Rice, a devastating collision with a semi-truck in 2021 didn't end her story, it began a powerful new chapter. Briana takes us through her remarkable journey from scientist and world traveler to traumatic brain injury survivor and advocate. With raw honesty, she shares how she initially thought her life was over after suffering brain and spinal injuries, only to discover that these challenges would become the catalyst for her greatest transformation. Through intensive rehabilitation, Brianna not only regained her strength but also found her voice as an advocate for brain injury awareness. Her path to healing led her to compete in and win the Woman of Achievement pageant with her platform "Grace for Your Journey", a message that resonates deeply with anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. As Brianna explains, "Sometimes you have to crumble to put the pieces back together, to build something new and more beautiful." This philosophy anchors her work as an author in the anthology "Women We Are Stronger Together" and as the director of the Riverside Chapter for the Global Society of Female Entrepreneurs, where she creates spaces for women to support rather than compete with one another. Perhaps most touching is Brianna's dedication to honoring her friend Justin Bowman, a fellow brain injury survivor who passed away in 2024. Through her Blackberry Merlot wine festival and charitable foundation, she continues to raise funds for those who need treatment but cannot afford it. Brianna's story reminds us that our darkest moments often contain the seeds of our greatest purpose, and that with grace, resilience, and community support, we can not only survive our traumas but use them to create meaningful change in the world. Ready to find grace in your own journey? Connect with Briana through her website and discover how your challenges might become your greatest source of power and purpose.
