    Mom, Brain Surgeon, Viral Voice: Not All Superheroes Wear Capes, Some Wear Scrubs (ft. Dr. Rupa Juthani)

    What if the version of balance we’ve been chasing is actually holding us back and what if being rare is the very thing that makes you powerful? Women make up less than 10% of neurosurgeons in the U.S., yet Dr. Rupa Juthani stands in that rarity, proving that what sets you apart can become your greatest strength. Kellie Sbrocchi sits down with Dr. Rupa, a fellowship-trained, board-certified neurosurgeon, researcher, educator, mom, and viral creator—to challenge everything we think we know about ambition, balance, and what’s possible when you refuse to choose. From navigating doubt, stereotypes, and imposter syndrome to redefining balance as intentional—not perfect—Dr. Rupa shares how preparation, boundaries, and grace allow her to show up fully at work and at home. She also opens up about stepping into social media this year as a form of mentorship and representation, reminding us that it’s never too late to share your message. This conversation is for powerful women in the middle of it all, latte in hand, proving every day that we can show up for ourselves and for others. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can pursue big dreams, live with intention, and still be present for what matters most, this is your reminder: you don’t have to choose.

    Don't Be Scared to Leave Your Small Town Behind! Blue-Collar Start, Navy-Paid PA School & Leading with Humility (Ft. LT Loren Coontz, Navy PA & Content Creator)

    If you go on Loren Coontz’s Instagram, you see a stylish blonde making time for fitness, friends, travel, cute outfits, and life in downtown San Diego. But there’s so much more beneath the surface. Loren embodies the depth, drive, and curiosity of young women today, figuring things out while striving to make more of their lives and have an impact on others. She could have done anything with her life, but she chose to serve as a U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps Officer. In this episode, Loren vulnerably shares her journey from a hardworking blue-collar family in small-town Ohio to serving her country and building a global platform that inspires others. She shares the realities behind what you see online, her day-to-day responsibilities, the stress of being an officer, and the challenge of balancing caring for others while being kind to herself. She also talks about the leap it took to join the Navy and how that decision has transformed her life. Loren discusses developing as a leader and blending the softness of her personality with the firmness required as a Naval officer. She also explains the Health Professionals Scholarship Program (HPSP) vs. the Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP), both of which fund medical students and come with service commitments but work differently and offer similar total value; the difference is how you get it. Loren shares practical tips for navigating these programs and pursuing a meaningful career while serving. Her story is a testament to women who want to rise above circumstances, embrace leadership, and make a difference. Through transparency, humor, and insight, Loren shows that leadership and compassion can go hand in hand, inspiring others to embrace both service and self.

    Lean on God While Leading, Serving, & Navigating Uncertainty (ft. 1LT Genesis Effa, U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain Candidate)

    Need a little encouragement to walk boldly in your calling? This episode is for those walking in faith or anyone looking for an introduction to faith, prayer, and leaning into God while leading in real life. Kellie sits down with 1LT Génécis Effa, a U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain Candidate, directly commissioned into the Chaplain Corps in 2021, pursuing her Master’s in Divinity at Pepperdine University, and serving in a Civil Affairs Battalion in Utah. She also works with the Department of the Army in Ordnance. Génécis is the founder of "Brunch with a Blessing," a program providing female service members with menstrual hygiene kits designed for field conditions. Her guiding mantras—“because I care, I serve” and “we are fearfully and wonderfully made”—inspire her work and leadership. Kellie and Génécis dive into the power of faith during uncertain seasons, the courage it takes to walk into male-occupied spaces with grace, and the importance of building community among women in service. Génécis shares how "Brunch with a Blessing" grew from a simple desire to meet practical needs into a ministry reminding women they are fearfully and wonderfully made. They also talk about daily ways to connect with God: from shower prayers to gratitude routines, letting faith overcome fear, handling criticism with compassion, trusting divine redirection, and redefining success as becoming who God created you to be. This conversation feels like a warm hug, a reminder of your purpose, and a nudge to walk boldly in the direction God is calling you. If you’re navigating uncertainty, craving encouragement, or balancing big dreams with the demands of real life… this episode is for you. Enjoyed this episode?

    If you’ve ever wondered why making friends in your 20s and 30s feels a lot like dating…you’re not alone. In this Flash Black Friday (FBF) feature from March 2020, Kellie explains exactly how she cracked the code. Kellie breaks down the biggest misconception she hears all the time: “You’re so lucky to have so many friends!” Spoiler: it's not luck. It’s work, intention, and a willingness to put yourself out there. Originally released in 2020, this episode uncovers the real strategy behind building community from scratch. After moving ten times, Kellie has learned exactly what it takes to form meaningful connections in every new city. She shares how she earned “Miss Congeniality” in every pageant she competed in, why Bumble hired her for her unique approach to community-building, and the five proven methods she swears by to help anyone meet new women. Her strategies may be unconventional, but they work. Living in a post-quarantine world, Kellie encourages listeners to push past comfort zones, try new ways of connecting, and discover just how life-changing the right friendships can be.

    Stop Playing Small & Start Playing your OWN Game: Confidence, Mentorship, & Self-Competition is your new Playbook (ft. Sydney Supple, Big 10 Sideline Sports Reporter)

    A conversation for the girl who knows she’s capable of more—and is finally ready to stop playing small and start playing her own game. In this episode, Kellie sits down with Sydney Supple, former D1 softball star at Northwestern, sideline reporter, digital creator, and a woman who knows what it means to chase big dreams with discipline and heart. From winning three Big 10 titles to earning degrees from Medill and Syracuse, to reporting across Fox Sports, Big 10 Network, ESPN, ACC Network, and more, Sydney has built a career defined by preparation, passion, and purpose. Sydney opens up about navigating a career in male-occupied spaces—from being underestimated to being called “honey” in professional settings—and how she learned to meet those moments with poise, preparation, and confidence. She shares the mindset her mom instilled early on: never let someone else’s doubt shrink your ambition. Kellie and Sydney dive deep into the power of mentorship, the women who paved the way before her (like Jessica Mendoza and Lisa Byington!), and how asking intentional, thoughtful questions can change the trajectory of your career. They unpack what it really looks like to compete with yourself, build your circle of support, and keep showing up for the version of you you’re becoming. This episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to take up space, ask for the opportunity, and believe in the version of you who’s already capable. Because once you combine preparation with purpose, you don’t just show up—you stand out. Connect with Sydney: https://www.instagram.com/sydney_supple/ Enjoyed this episode?

    Reinvention at Any Age: Child-Free, Confident & Creating a Life You Love in Your 40s (ft. Jen White, from Corporate Genius to Global Creator)

    Jen White: a woman proving that your 40s can be your most expansive, joyful, and self-defined chapter yet. Jen has spent more than 20 years in sales and sales enablement, much of it in tech, while simultaneously building a community of women who love her child-free, adventure-filled Chicago life. From keynote stages to content creation, she’s mastered the art of doing both with intention. In this episode, Jen opens up about rewriting the rules for her life: choosing a path that reflects her values, leaning into authenticity, and creating content that makes women feel seen. She shares how learning to trust herself — in career pivots, creative decisions, and personal boundaries — completely changed the trajectory of her life. And she breaks down the moment she finally believed she was capable of taking the leap into full-time creation. Jen’s journey is a reminder that reinvention isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. You’re allowed to pivot. You’re allowed to dream bigger at any age. You’re allowed to build a lifestyle that feels undeniably you. This conversation will light a fire in anyone craving a fresh start, a bold decision, or the confidence to finally step into the life they've been imagining. Love Jen?
