People ask me all the time, ‘How do you do it all?’ Truth is, most days, I don’t. Like so many women, I’m just figuring it out as I go, balancing work, family, and all the beautiful chaos life throws my way. That’s why I created A Superwoman Handbook. This podcast celebrates the women who make it all happen…or at least make it look like they do. Each episode, I sit down with incredible women who are redefining what it means to ‘have it all’ in their own way. If you’ve ever wondered how other women are juggling it all, or need a reminder that you’re not alone, this is the podcast for you. We’ll figure it out together, one story at a time.

    A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP14: Nancy Benet on Business, Money & Trusting Your Inner Voice

    Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook as she welcomes Nancy Benet, licensed CPA, entrepreneur, and CEO of Fix-It Accounting and Success Your Way, for an inspiring conversation about resilience, entrepreneurship, money mindset, and building a business that's truly aligned with who you are. After a difficult divorce left Nancy raising four children on her own while facing more than $650,000 in debt, she had a choice: give up or rebuild. Through perseverance, practical financial strategies, and learning to trust her intuition, she transformed one of the hardest seasons of her life into two thriving businesses dedicated to helping others succeed. In this episode, Nancy shares why failure doesn't define an entrepreneur—it develops one. Together, Gillian and Nancy explore how listening to your inner voice, asking for help sooner, and embracing the courage to pivot can completely change the direction of your business and your life. Nancy also discusses the importance of finding your niche, building meaningful client relationships, creating sustainable growth, and developing a healthier relationship with money. She shares practical lessons from decades of helping entrepreneurs navigate accounting, business growth, and financial confidence. Whether you're dreaming about starting a business, rebuilding after setbacks, or looking for clarity in your next chapter, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that success doesn't have to look like everyone else's. Because your greatest opportunity often begins the moment you stop following someone else's path—and start trusting your own.   Connect with Nancy Benet: Website: https://www.successyourway.com/ Fix-It Accounting: https://www.fixitaccounting.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/success.your.way Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SuccessYourWayCommunity LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-benet-cpa-18145014/ Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/share/14aMFG3nor4/   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #NancyBenet #womeninbusiness  #entrepreneurship  #moneymindset  #businessgrowth  #womenentrepreneurs  #smallbusiness  #leadership  #SuccessYourWay #FixItAccounting #personalgrowth  #financialconfidence  #businesssuccess  #season3

    Thursday Unplugged EP4: Why Love Isn't Always Happy—But It's Always Worth It

    Join Gillian Utesch and Patrick Reid for another honest conversation on Thursday Unplugged, where real stories lead to meaningful reflection. Love isn't always easy. The strongest relationships aren't built on perfect moments—they're built on what happens after disappointment, disagreement, and heartbreak. In this heartfelt episode, Patrick explores why every meaningful relationship carries its own scars and why those scars often become the greatest evidence of love, resilience, and growth. Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, he shares how pain doesn't always weaken relationships—it can strengthen them when we choose healing over resentment. Together, Gillian and Patrick discuss the difference between temporary connections and lifelong relationships, the beauty found in imperfection, and why some of our favorite memories are tied to the moments that challenged us the most. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, rebuilding trust, or simply reflecting on the people who matter most, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on love, forgiveness, and what it truly means to stay connected. Sometimes the strongest relationships aren't the ones without scars—they're the ones that choose to heal together.   Connect with Patrick Reid: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/154246411831481?ref=NONE_xav_ig_profile_page_web   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Mindy also shares insights from her integrative approach to healing, which combines psychotherapy with trauma-informed practices, energy work, and nervous system support.

    A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP12: Crystal Griffith on Medical Advocacy & Taking Back Control

    Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook as she sits down with Crystal Griffith, founder of Medical Mom Warriors™ and creator of the Medical Stability Blueprint™, for a powerful conversation about navigating complex healthcare, advocating with confidence, and building stability inside medical chaos. For many parents and caregivers, managing a loved one’s complex health needs can feel like a full-time job with no roadmap. Doctor appointments, insurance denials, referrals, medical records, conflicting opinions, and the emotional weight of caregiving can quickly become overwhelming. Crystal knows this reality through lived experience—and she has made it her mission to help families feel less alone while giving them practical tools to move forward. In this episode, Crystal shares why patients and caregivers have the right to question whether a doctor is truly the right fit, how preparing before appointments can completely change the conversation, and why understanding medical records and asking better questions can strengthen self-advocacy. Together, Gillian and Crystal explore the realities of insurance battles, navigating referrals, requesting accommodations, building a trusted support network, and using modern tools—including AI and online communities—to become more informed and organized throughout the healthcare journey. Crystal also discusses her trauma-informed approach to helping medical moms and chronically ill individuals move from constant crisis management toward greater clarity and stability. As a three-time bestselling author, her work combines lived experience with practical advocacy strategies and clear action plans designed for families carrying complex medical responsibilities. Whether you’re a medical mom, caregiver, chronically ill individual, or someone who has ever felt dismissed or powerless inside the healthcare system, this episode offers a powerful reminder: you are allowed to ask questions, seek another opinion, and advocate for care that truly fits your needs. This conversation is about turning chaos into clarity, fear into informed action, and isolation into community—because no caregiver should have to carry the entire journey alone.   Connect with Crystal Griffith Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/k.crystal.griffith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medmomwarriors YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@medicalmomwarriors   Connect with Gillian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #CrystalGriffith #MedicalMomWarriors #medicaladvocacy    #patientadvocacy  #caregiversupport  #MedicalMoms #healthcareadvocacy  #chronicillness  #caregiverlife  #patientempowerment  #healthcarenavigation  #womenempowerment  #MedicalStability #season3

    Thursday Unplugged EP3: The Fire & Water Metaphor That Could Change How You Protect Your Peace

    What if protecting your well-being isn’t about putting out everyone else’s fires—but learning how to tend your own? In this powerful Thursday Unplugged episode, Patrick Reid shares a deeply personal lesson from therapy that reshaped how he sees self-care, boundaries, emotional wounds, and community. Drawing from his song “Watch Us Burn,” Patrick explores what happens when pain goes unspoken, emotions are suppressed, and we spend so much energy carrying others that we neglect ourselves. Through the metaphor of fire and water, he reveals why tending to your own well-being isn’t selfish—it can be essential to healthier relationships and stronger communities. This conversation explores the hidden cost of unresolved conflict, the walls we build when vulnerability feels unsafe, and why emotional wounds can spread when they’re left unattended. Patrick also reflects on the delicate balance between caring for yourself and showing up for others without losing yourself in the process. If you’ve been emotionally drained, overwhelmed by other people’s problems, or struggling to set boundaries without guilt, this episode offers a powerful perspective on protecting your peace while staying connected to the people who matter. Because sometimes, healing begins when you stop trying to extinguish every fire around you—and finally pay attention to your own.   Connect with Patrick Reid Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/preidmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/154246411831...   Connect with Gillian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #ASuperwomanHandbook #ThursdayUnplugged #PatrickReid #protectyourpeace  #selfcare  #emotionalhealing  #boundaries  #mentalwellbeing  #personalgrowth  #communityhealing  #resilience  #WatchUsBurn #healingjourney  #emotionalhealth  #season3

    A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP11: Chellie Adler on ADHD, AuDHD & Finding Community

    Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook as she sits down with Chellie Adler, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in ADHD, AuDHD, neurodivergent-affirming care, and women who have spent years feeling overlooked, misunderstood, or quietly overwhelmed. Many women move through life appearing “fine” while privately struggling with attention, executive functioning, sensory sensitivity, emotional regulation, burnout, and the pressure to fit societal expectations. In this powerful conversation, Chellie explores why so many women mask their challenges—and what can happen when they finally begin to understand their brains through a more compassionate and empowering lens. Together, Gillian and Chellie discuss late recognition of ADHD and autism traits in women, the emotional cost of masking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, and why feeling “too much” or out of place can follow women for years without the right support or understanding. They also explore the powerful role of community and real-world connection in women’s mental health. Therapy can be an important part of support, but healing and belonging can also grow through intentional spaces where women feel seen, heard, understood, and free to show up more authentically. Chellie shares insights from her work supporting women navigating ADHD, AuDHD, anxiety, burnout, identity development, and major life transitions. Her approach combines neurodivergent-affirming care, trauma-informed support, psychoeducation, executive functioning strategies, and practical tools designed to fit real lives. Whether you’ve been diagnosed later in life, suspect you may be neurodivergent, feel exhausted from constantly masking, or simply crave deeper connection and belonging, this episode offers a compassionate reminder: understanding yourself can change the way you move through the world. This conversation is for every woman who has ever wondered why life seems harder behind the scenes—and who is ready to explore what it means to feel seen, supported, and more fully herself.   Connect with Chellie Adler Website: ShellyAdler.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michelle.adamsadler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chellieadler/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chellie-adler-lpc-adhd-ccsp-asdcs-aa2497197/   Connect with Gillian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   #asuperwomanhandbook  #ChellieAdler #adhdwomen  #audhd  #neurodiversity  #womensmentalhealth  #latediagnosisadhd  #unmaskingautism  #mentalhealth  #womenwithadhd  #autisminwomen  #communityhealing  #burnout  #authenticself  #Season3
