    How To Play Your Cards: Why Getting Kicked Off My D1 Softball Team Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me

    In this episode, we dive into Jill’s powerful journey through competitive athletics — from being recruited for softball at a young age to playing at the Division 1 level, and ultimately facing the life-altering experience of being kicked off her D1 team. Jill opens up about the identity loss, shame, and resilience that followed, and how that moment became a catalyst for deep personal growth. We unpack the lessons she learned about self-worth, discipline, failure, and rebuilding confidence when everything you’ve worked for falls apart. This conversation is about more than sports — it’s about what happens when your path doesn’t go as planned, and how that detour can shape the strongest version of you.

    Bringing Lucky Girl Energy Into 2026: How to Manifest the Life You Actually Want

    Manifestation doesn’t have to feel woo, unrealistic, or reserved for “lucky” people. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to take control of your life using manifestation as a practical, empowering tool. Jenna opens up about her personal journey with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck, and how learning to work with her subconscious helped her shift her life in real, tangible ways. She’s not an expert — just someone who watched manifestation work when nothing else did. We explore why manifestation matters heading into 2026, how it actually works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity, energy), and why it’s less about “getting things” and more about becoming the most aligned, confident, magnetic version of yourself. ✨ In This Episode, We Cover: Why manifestation works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity & energy) Rewiring beliefs formed in childhood Manifesting from your authentic self — not ego The role of aligned action Simple manifestation practices (journaling, visualization, vision boards) Why nighttime visualization is so powerful What to expect when manifestation starts working (clarity, ease, confidence, opportunities) Resources & Links 📚 Books Manifest – Roxie Nafousi https://www.amazon.com/dp/0241539595 How to Manifest – Lacy Phillips https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063037446 Activate Your Future Self – Mimi Bouchard https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593544482 Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself – Dr. Joe Dispenza https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401938094 👥 People to Follow Roxie Nafousi – https://www.instagram.com/roxienafousi Lacy Phillips – https://www.instagram.com/lacyannephillips/?hl=en Mimi Bouchard – https://www.instagram.com/mimibouchard Gabby Bernstein – https://www.instagram.com/gabbybernstein Hannah Eve – https://www.instagram.com/itshannaheve/?hl=en 🎧 Podcasts Expanded (To Be Magnetic) https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Melissa Wood Health – Bringing Your Manifestations to Life with Lacy Phillips https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/melissa-wood-health/id1439762352 Joe Dispenza on The School of Greatness https://lewishowes.com/podcast/joe-dispenza/ 📱 Apps Activations App – https://www.activations.com/

    The Mind–Body Connection: Mental Health, Vulnerability & Navigating Alzheimer’s with Dr. Emily Matis

    In today’s episode, we sit down with licensed psychologist and our close friend, Dr. Emily Matis, for an honest, deeply human conversation about mental health, Alzheimer's, the mind–body connection, and how emotional experiences can manifest physically. Emily shares her personal journey navigating her father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, offering insight into grief, resilience, and what it’s like to witness cognitive decline in real time. She also discusses her evolving hypothesis around potential contributors to neurodegenerative disease beyond genetics alone. Somehow we still managed to giggle in between getting raw and vulnerable, because isn't that what life's about?! Together, we explore: How stress, anxiety, and trauma show up in the bodyThe brain–gut connection and why mental health matters for physical healingHow Alzheimer's can impact far more than the person experiencing itWhat vulnerability actually looks like in real lifeHow to support your mind–body connection intentionallyTherapists are human too EPISODE SPONSOR: TERRAHEALTH ESSENTIALS (use code "guttalkgirls20" for 20% off)
