Angie has always lived an active life, but when an injury left her in severe pain, it ultimately resulted in her losing her leg. As an above-knee amputee, she has navigated life as a wife, mom, and woman who lives life to the fullest.



Living life as an amputee has not stopped her from walking, running, jump roping, surfing, and more. She talks about accepting her body, trying new things, and being inspired by the amputee community. She also shares her passion for inner beauty by talking about how no matter what our bodies look like on the outside, it's what is on the inside that counts.



On her Instagram, podcast, blog, and chat room, she empowers other people (both inside and outside of the amputee community) to embrace their bodies and try new things. You can find her on social media as @bawarrior360 and you can listen to her podcast, Be-You-Tiful Adaptive Warrior at https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/be-you-tiful-adaptive-warrior/id1553211315

She discusses how our relationship to money growing up subconsciously creates our money personality and how taking control of our finances can be a source of empowerment. With her support and advice, she helps clients get the information they need to know about their finances so they don't have a stomachache anytime they open up their bank accounts.



In the episode, she also shares some great financial tips, including why budgets aren't helpful (and what we should do instead) and why we don't need to cut out our avocado toast.

At the age of 50, Jennifer found herself an empty nester, unemployed, ill, and divorced. No longer able to define herself by external validation and titles, she looked inside to think about the possibilities and what-ifs of what she could do with her life at 50 and beyond.



She took her experience of growing older to start the company Old Chicks Know Sh*t - a podcast and community designed to inspire and support midlife women in chasing their dreams and living their kick-ass next chapter.



Now she encourages women to live as their most authentic selves and provides insights into how we can stop focusing on what we're losing as we grow older and instead focus on embracing who we are on the inside.

Eva learned she had a genetic mutation that gave her an 87% chance of breast cancer and a 55% chance of ovarian cancer. In three months, she had a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. 

Eva talks about honoring traumatic experiences, having resilience during difficult times, and healing through artistry.



She had a "boob voyage" party before her surgery where she allowed her friends to paint her naked body from head to toe. She also coped with her changing body by writing a one-woman musical comedy which she has performed in the US, UK, and via Amazon streaming. Additionally, she has written the novel, "Pinocchio's Guide to the End of the World" which explores his adventures of Pinocchio as a human. You can check out Eva's creative work at evamoon.net

Risa was an Ironman athlete, but when she noticed that her body was changing in unusual ways, she turned to doctors for an answer. They ultimately found a tumor at the base of her brain and diagnosed her with Acromegaly.

She knew that her life and body wouldn't be the same, but that has not kept her from living big. Instead of focusing on what she couldn't do, she focused on what she could do. She pushed the limits of her body and ultimately rode her bike from Canada to Mexico down the Pacific Coast. She wrote a memoir about her journey called The Road Unpaved - Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike.

Risa talks about overcoming challenges, embracing her changing body, advocating for patients, and supporting others as a Gestalt Practitioner with a certificate in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.
