    Oversharing or Authenticity? How to Know What’s Too Much on Social Media

    What if holding back on social media is the exact thing keeping you from finding your audience? In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna sits down with Tori Lutz, a former PR strategist turned spiritual coach and spinal energetics practitioner, to unpack the fear so many entrepreneurs secretly carry: “What if no one cares what I post?” After years working in PR and understanding exactly how media visibility works behind the scenes, Tori shares why authenticity, not perfection, is what actually creates connection and opportunities online. They dive into the concept of “oversharing” on social media, why it’s often misunderstood, and how the stories you’re scared to share might actually be the ones that build the deepest trust with your audience. You’ll also hear the vulnerable side of stepping into visibility... from dealing with the fear of judgment to navigating personal topics like mental health, anxiety, and relationship doubts online. If you’ve ever hesitated to post because you worried people might judge you, scroll past, or think you’re sharing too much, this conversation will change the way you see social media forever. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the belief “no one cares” stops so many women from showing up online The difference between trauma dumping vs. authenticity How vulnerability on social media can attract aligned opportunities Why the posts that scare you the most often resonate the most How to know what’s aligned to share and what should stay private Why losing followers is often a sign you’re becoming more authentic Practical mindset shifts to help you show up confidently online CONNECT WITH TORI Instagram: @bytorilutz Tori's Website - ⁠https://www.torilutz.com/ WORK WITH BREEANNA Website: ⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠ Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcastRebel CEO Podcast Shownotes: ⁠⁠breeannakay.com/authenticity-vs-oversharing-social-media

    The “Boring” $ Move That Took 19 Years off of Her Debt Payoff Plan

    If you’ve ever thought life insurance was boring, morbid, or just something you’ll “deal with later”… this episode might genuinely change the way you see your entire financial strategy. This week on Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna sits down with life insurance agency owner Emily Bartz, a former six-figure medical device sales rep who walked away from corporate “golden handcuffs” to build a business that supports school drop-offs, financial freedom, and actual time with her family. And this is not a surface-level conversation. We’re talking about: Why relying on your employer’s life insurance could leave your family exposed What happens if you get diagnosed with something serious after you leave your job or if your job let's you go mid-health crisis The real cost of funerals (and why GoFundMe shouldn’t be your backup plan) How certain policies include living benefits that business owners can use while they’re alive Why waiting until retirement to “live your life” is a dangerous gamble Emily shares how watching her mom work tirelessly her entire life, only to pass away one year into retirement, completely reshaped how she views time, money, and legacy. This episode is about more than insurance. It’s about: Designing a life now instead of later Protecting your income as a business owner Making strategic financial moves most women were never taught And building wealth in ways that aren’t talked about enough If you’re a female entrepreneur building something meaningful… this conversation is part business strategy, part wake-up call. Because freedom isn’t just about making more money. It’s about protecting what you’re building and making CEO level business moves to manage your money.

    Burned Out at 6-Figures?  Here's How to Scale Without Working More Hours

    Hitting multiple six figures doesn’t automatically give you freedom. Sometimes it just gives you more responsibility… and more burnout. Today I’m sitting down with Lauren Hunnewell, a fractional COO (aka integrator), systems queen, and host of the Just Show Up podcast, and we’re talking about what really happens behind the scenes when your business grows faster than your infrastructure. We get into: Why burnout is usually a systems problem (not a motivation problem) The biggest backend blind spots that sabotage how to grow a small business When to hire (and why waiting until you’re desperate is the worst time) How poor delegation can secretly cap your income Why crossing off things on your to-do list might be holding you back Deep work vs. shallow work  And the simple systems that give you your LIFE back If you’ve ever said: “I love my business… but I can’t keep working this much,” you’ll love this convo. We also talk about: What a fractional COO actually does (and why most women wait too long to bring one in) Why hiring a VA before you’re “ready” is often the smartest move The foundational systems every online business needs Productivity hacks for entrepreneurs that don’t rely on hustle Why deep work days might be the most underrated growth strategy If you’re building a freedom-based business, scaling your offers, or figuring out how to quit your 9–5 without burning yourself out in the process… This one is required listening.

In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna sits down with bestselling author and keynote speaker Ginny Priem, creator of Unsubscribe, to talk about the unspoken grief, guilt, and discomfort women feel when they outgrow relationships while building a business. We dive into: The friends who watch your success but never clap Why women feel guilty for evolving (even when growth is aligned) How to unsubscribe from relationships without burning bridges The difference between self-protection and avoidance Why “I just want to keep you safe” can secretly keep you small When unfollowing is healing... and when it’s hiding Closure, breakups, exes, and why you don’t actually need another conversation This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply validating for any woman navigating entrepreneurship, visibility, heartbreak, or growth.

    Where Neptune Stopped You From Seeing Clearly for 14 Years (Explained)

    Neptune just left Pisces after 14 years… and the era of getting away with avoidance in one portion of your life is most likely coming to a close. In this solo episode, I break down Neptune moving into Aries and why this transit feels like a collective wake-up call — especially for entrepreneurs who built success on intuition, momentum, or hustle without solid foundations underneath. Neptune in Pisces let us romanticize. It let us avoid. It let us believe things were working when they actually weren’t. ...Neptune in Aries doesn’t do that though. This shift demands clarity, ownership, and action — whether you’re ready or not. Inside this episode, we talk about: Why you can be “successful” and still be avoiding the most important parts of your business How Neptune creates blind spots around money, burnout, self-worth, and responsibility The house-by-house breakdown of where illusion may have lived in your chart for the last 14 years The moment when rose-colored glasses come off… and what to do next I also pull a collective tarot card — The Tower — and explain why collapse isn’t failure, punishment, or bad luck. It’s what happens when something was never built to last. What falls apart now is making space for something stronger, more stable, and more sustainable. This episode is for you if: You’re burnt out but still telling yourself you “love what you do” You’ve been avoiding your numbers, systems, or boundaries You feel called to a higher level of leadership, stability, and freedom You’re done with hustle culture and spiritual bypassing ✨ Also teased:I’m quietly forming a founders round for my biggest project yet. If this episode hits, DM me on Instagram and tell me you listened. I’ll share the details.

    Have We Lost The American Dream?

    I want to leave you with these lyrics to the song Hands by Jewel If I could tell the world just one thing it would be That we're all okay And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like these I won't be made useless I won't be idle with despair I will gather myself around my faith For light does the darkness most fear My hands are small, I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own and I am never broken Poverty stole your golden shoes It didn't steal your laughter And heartache came to visit me But I knew it wasn't ever after We'll fight, not out of spite For someone must stand up for what's right 'Cause where there's a man who has no voice There ours shall go singing My hands are small, I know But they're not yours, they are my own But they're not yours, they are my own and I am never broken Rest in Peace, Alex Pretti.
