    124. From Passion to Platform: How I Built A 10K+ Wellness Community IRL Grounded in Patience & Purpose (Ft. Olivia Santelli, Founder of Rise Pilates Club)

    In this episode, I sit down with my close Chicago friend of five years, Olivia—founder of Rise Pilates, certified instructor, content creator, podcast host, and someone I deeply admire for her ability to balance so many roles while fearlessly chasing big dreams. Olivia is the founder of Rise Pilates Club, an accessible social wellness community in Chicago that has brought together over 10,000 people with movement. What started as a passion for making wellness more inclusive has evolved into a thriving space, both in-person and online, through WITHIN the app, where members can access tools for both mental and physical well-being on demand.We start by sharing how we met through Sports Illustrated and how our friendship has grown alongside our creative journeys. Olivia walks us through her intentional path—starting with her time working for the Chicago Cubs, then moving into social media management—all strategic steps that ultimately set her up to launch her own app and online wellness community. And then came the wild summer of 2024: what began as a few casual outdoor Pilates sessions turned into a movement—literally. Over 2,000 people showed up at the beach to be part of Rise Pilates, a community Olivia didn’t plan to build, but fully embraced. We talk about what it means to build slowly, with purpose, and how trusting your gut can lead to impact far bigger than you imagined. If you’re in a season of creating, pivoting, or starting from scratch—Olivia’s story will remind you that you don’t have to rush to build something real. Enjoyed this episode?

    123. Risks & Rewards When You #DoBoth: Passions, Perceptions, MISS USA lessons, & My Promotion Delay [REBRAND & S6 PREMIERE!!]

    After a year away from the mic, I’m back—and reintroducing my newly rebranded show with the premiere of Season 6. Welcome to “Why Not: #DoBoth.” I’ve listened to you all, and I’m leaning into this brand because it reflects my life, my journey, and the questions I get asked the most across social media and in real life. This show is for anyone navigating the tension between ambition and responsibility, dreams and demands. In this premiere episode, I open up about the past year of my life: the highs, the heartbreaks, and everything in between. I reflect on competing in Miss Illinois USA, share truths about my experience with Miss California USA, and speak candidly about what it really means to do both. I talk about the risks, the realities, and the emotional toll of trying to live a life of purpose and passion—while also honoring commitments and facing challenges like a delayed promotion to Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, something completely outside my control. I also open up about my battle with depression, and what it’s looked like to keep showing up through it all. Joining me is my best friend, therapist, and portrait photographer, Sam Hardy, who co-hosts this episode and shares his perspective as someone who’s walked through these moments with me. This isn’t just a new season—it’s a new chapter. If you’ve ever felt torn between what you have to do and what you want to do, if you’ve ever asked yourself how to keep going when the world says "pick one"—this one’s for you. Enjoyed this episode?

I asked my Instagram audience what questions they had about MISS IL USA: You asked, I answered! In this episode, I have guest-host & best friend, Jackie Barnum, to dig into what my journey has been liked as I prepped for my very last state competition for Miss USA.

Clearly, this has been a long journey but also one of the greatest and life-altering experiences for me. In this episode, Jackie & I dive into my journey leading up to MISS IL USA. What am I most nervous about? How did I find my coaches? How did I get approval from the Navy to compete? What was that process like? I tell ALL! Thank you ALL so much for the love & support as I head into competition and for sending so many good vibes my way!

    118. Friends tell ALL! What it's really like to be Friends w/ Me (ft. Close friends Demi & Taylor)

    MY FRIENDS TELL ALL! Social media only shares part of the story, part of my personality, and part of who I am. My close friends & inner circle TRULY understand who I am and what I'm like, both in my "professional" modes and personal life after hours. In an attempt to bring you an inside look on my personal life, I brought two of my closest adult friends, Demi & Taylor, onto the show to share what it's really like to be friends with me? I met Demi at one of my events nearly three years ago & we later connected, quickly becoming one of my biggest support systems as I balance life as an event coordinator and MISS IL USA contestant. Taylor actually messaged me on Instagram! Although we originally connected on social media, I invited her to an intimate "Bachelor Viewing Party" at my apartment and we've been close ever since. These ladies have known me through my chapter in Chicago, see the behind-the-scenes work as I balance and #doboth, but also love me whether I am wearing a full glam high pony or a sloppy bun in sweatpants. Wonder what it's like to be friends with me? Tune in for this tell all. Follow my girls here! @demi.grenning and @midsizeinchi. Love this episode?
