    Why Women Are Superior Leaders: The Science Doesn’t Lie

    Today, we’re exposing one of the biggest myths about leadership and backing it with biology, research, and science. It comes down to a hormone that is responsible for keeping humanity alive (not to be dramatic) - and how women are the superior ones in this. I’m breaking down how we as women are wired to constantly read social environments, assess trust, gauge safety, and lead from the “we” rather than the “I.” This is not about women being better than men - it’s about challenging old conditioning, showing the evidence, and understanding that intuition is not hysteria, it primal intelligence for our survival. Highlights: (3:08) - Women and men need to stop trying to do each other‘s job (5:05) - The biology behind human bonding and what it means about each gender (7:20) - How oxytocin affects intuition and the functions in the brain (11:25) - The history behind the first women’s mental disorder diagnosis: “Hysteria” (17:09) - The instagram post that made everything in the entire Universe make sense (22:00) - Why women are called “crazy” (27:30) - “We Should All Be Millionaires” Additional Links: Follow @RhythmsOfHealth on Instagram The oxytocin boosting benefit of female leaders - Samantha WoolvenDo Men and Women Lead Differently? - Chief Learning OfficerAre Women More Effective Leaders than Men? - Kenneth Nowack Women and investing: Key findings and opportunities / Money Fit Women’s Study - Fidelity Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    The 10-Hour Countdown Revealed: Being Bold in the Face of Fear

    In this episode, I’m able to share the news I left you hanging with last week - if you have no idea what I’m talking about, go back and listen first! After months of being deep in uncertainty, fear, old wounds, and my motherhood in question being brought right back to the center, I’m talking about what it looked like to choose faith before I even had the proof. This conversation is deep from my heart and completely off the cuff. It’s about surrender, support, shame, God, and the deeply inconvenient truth that we don’t really want expansion - we want the rewards that expansion can bring us. Tune in to learn my story of how asking for help, letting people see me fall apart, and even breaking my bed became part of my healing. Highlights: (02:30) - Trusting in the unseen: Finding safety from within (05:07) - Knowing what is mine to do, and what is God’s to do (10:36) - Why nobody actually wants expansion even when they say they do (16:05) - The life-changing power of stopping the need to prove yourself (23:34) - Being the martyr: How we arrange our conditions to stay in victim-mode (35:05) - Turning morning anxiety into a full-body act of faith and years of gratitude Additional Links: Mile Hi Church: Prayer & Care Center Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    Unscripted Life Update: Closing the Gap Between Me and Myself

    For this week’s episode, I got an extremely strong download to hit “record” with nothing in mind except to speak from my heart about the season I’m moving through. The last 8 years have been one of the longest and hardest seasons of my life. It hasn’t come without debilitating fear and loads of uncertainty - but along the way I’ve somehow learned how to keep it from running the entire show. This is a raw conversation about how I’m reorienting my relationship with past trauma, mastering surrender, and navigating constant legal stress, motherhood, and grief all at the same time. It all starts with coming back into my body instead of searching outside myself for safety. I share how God has been leading me into a deeper relationship with myself, why fear can sit beside me without taking over, and how loving this version of me has become one of the greatest gifts of the whole journey. Highlights: (01:30) - A real-life update from the middle of pajamas, laundry, and total honesty (04:10) - Why this season has been hard, but not as hard as it once was (06:20) - The 10-hour countdown back to a moment of terror (10:21) - The shift from reacting to life to becoming the creator of it (16:42) - How fear can still be present without taking over the whole body (31:18) - Learning to deeply love the version of me who survived all of this Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    Self-Love, Boundaries, and Being Fully Seen with Lindsey Marie of Powerhouse Women

    In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Marie, founder of Powerhouse Women, bestselling author and master community builder, for what feels less like an interview and more like a very honest first date between new friends. We touch on business, but mostly we go beneath the surface into worthiness, visibility, boundaries, female friendships, grief, dating, self-trust, and the kind of personal transformation that does not fit neatly into an Instagram caption. Lindsey holds nothing back, diving into what it’s meant to move through the end of a long-term marriage, enduring a complete financial reset, a health scare, and putting herself fully out there in a way she hasn’t ever before. This conversation is about the medicine inside a loving “no,” the freedom of self-validation, the power of platonic intimacy, and why feeling safe in being truly known starts with the willingness to meet yourself first. Highlights: (05:00) - Why telling others “no” is the most loving thing you can do for them (11:45) - Understanding the difference between “nice” and “kind” (19:07) - The medicine that can be found in someone closing a door on us (31:46) - Finding yourself again after grief, divorce and deep personal change (47:00) - How it’s female friendships among women that teaches us real intimacy and repair (58:09) - Letting yourself be seen in the middle of the healing Additional links: Join the 10th annual Powerhouse Women Event 8/14-8/16 in Scottsdale, AZ Follow Lindsey Marie on Instagram Follow Powerhouse Women on Instagram Connect with Lindsay Here Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    Writing Is Medicine: Your Journal Could Be the Missing Prescription

    Disclaimer: I am not a licensed health professional or doctor and this podcast episode does not include any medical advice, simply researched information. We’re getting nerdy today because if you haven’t learned yet, I’m a forever skeptic needing to know the why behind pretty much everything. This episode is all about the science-backed healing power of writing and how it might be the missing antidote to your healing. I share why writing my first book changed me in ways I could feel before I fully understood, and how I see the same transformation happen again and again with authors through Landon Hail Press. We look at the scientific research behind expressive writing, including how facing the deeper, more painful parts of your lived experience can support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and can dramatically improve your physical health. A huge first step in healing physically and emotionally is understanding the difference between simply managing emotions and truly processing them - and why consistent, honest writing can help you stop carrying old trauma like it just happened yesterday. Highlights: (00:53) - The reason consistent expressive writing (or journaling) can create massive healing outcomes (03:31) - How the subconscious mind shapes the stories we keep repeating - and the actions that follow (06:35) - The science-backed research studies that support the connection between expressive writing and healing (10:34) - What a daily writing practice can do for stress, illness, and emotional processing (12:09) - The brain function that occurs when writing about pain that moves our trauma from alarm bells to meaning (17:07) - Why buried pain keeps you stuck in the same loop- and how to get out of it Resources: Pennebaker, J.W., Kiecolt-Glaser, J., & Glaser, R.

    What It Really Takes (and Gives) to Become a Published Author with Amberly Lago: PART 2

    Welcome back to Part 2 where I share the second half of a workshop I gave for Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind, all about the myths and misconceptions that keep so many people from writing and publishing the book they know they’re meant to write. We talk about the false belief that you need to be perfectly clear before you begin, the fear that you’re a “bad writer,” and the idea that becoming an author is only for writers with huge platforms, fancy credentials or endless free time. Spoiler: none of that gets to be the reason your story stays in a notes app forever. We dive into what makes a story compelling, how vulnerability builds trust, and why sharing real and raw experiences in your life activates parts of the brain for true connection. We also get into what actually makes a book a bestseller, beyond just sales numbers and shiny launch graphics - plus a special Q&A with Amberly Lago. Whether you’re writing a book, building a brand or finally owning your message, this episode is about trusting that your story can open doors, for you and for someone else. Highlights: (01:14) - Why waiting for clarity is the reason for your writer’s block (and how to solve this) (02:31) - Busting the myth that you’re a “bad writer” and what is actually going on (05:16) - A peek into the editing process and the different stages (06:29) - The misconception that you need a huge audience to have a successful book (08:09) - Three key points that make your book a Best Seller (16:11) - Q&A with Amberly and how she grew her reader base and audience Follow Amberly on Instagram Checkout Amberly’s Events & Masterminds here Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    What It Really Takes (and Gives) to Become a Published Author: PART 1

    Join me in a live workshop I delivered to Amberly Lago’s Unstoppable Success Mastermind where we talk about what it really takes to write and publish a book. It’s not just about gaining credibility, followers, money, or some shiny “author” label. Those things can happen, yes - but the real work starts with who you become in the process. I share the origin story of how I became an author and publisher, why identity and clarity matter just as much as strategy, and the myths that keep brilliant people sitting on their stories for years. Spolier: stepping into this chapter has less to do with “how-to” and everything to do with your belief system. This one is workshop style, so listen, take notes, and actually interact with the prompts. Your book might be closer than you think. Highlights: (02:33) - Why writing a book starts with identity, not just publishing strategy: BE > DO > HAVE (07:04) - The power of prioritizing the “why” over the “how” and how it reorganizes your life (09:51) - My biggest fear realized when my book became an exhibit in court (12:52) - How writing a book can open doors you didn’t know existed and create real abundance (19:50) - The belief check that reveals what is actually stopping you (it’s not what you think) (30:40) - Throwing away your excuses: Practical ways to start writing with the tools already in your life Follow Amberly on Instagram Checkout Amberly’s Events & Masterminds here Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.

    How to Come Back to Presence When Life Feels Heavy

    In this episode, I’m slowing things down and talking about what it really means to come back to yourself when life feels intense, overwhelming, or just a bit too much. I share why reconnecting with your mind, body and spirit is not some abstract idea, but a practical, and necessary, everyday way to feel safer, calmer and more grounded in your own life. We get into body intelligence, emotional awareness, and the ways your body is constantly communicating with you, even when you’re not listening (which is often for many of us!). I also talk about stress, coping habits, and simple practices to help you feel more present because this is the only place that truth really exists. And it’s usually easier than you think - sometimes it really does start with just five intentional minutes a day of returning back to yourself. Highlights: (02:15) - Why you need to pause and let yourself feel the discomfort in order to not feel it anymore (04:34) - Breaking the MBS Integration and why it can change your life (07:24) - The science that proves your physical and mental health are always linked (11:56) - A fascinating research study that exhibits the power of emotions in the physical body (17:19) - The damages of that can occur when ignoring your connection to yourself (27:32) - Simple practices to help you come back into your body and the present moment Add additional links / resources: 2014 Study - Body Map of Emotions (Nummenmaa, Glerean, Hari, & Hietanen, 2014) Resources: Join SJ’s Writing Retreat Waitlist: WRITE THE DAMN BOOK // Denver, CO Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
