    How to Build Success by Choosing Alignment Over Safety w. Amber Lilyestrom

    Some conversations remind you that the dream you can’t shake isn’t a distraction. It’s a direction. And this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast is exactly that kind of reminder. Our host, Bunny Young, interviews Amber Lilyestrom, business mentor, podcaster, and true powerhouse, to talk about why trusting yourself, your desires, and your dreams is non-negotiable, even when the path forward doesn’t make sense yet. Amber shares her journey honestly and without polish, from collegiate athletics and corporate leadership to building a multi-seven-figure business rooted in alignment, intuition, and energetic integrity. Together, they dive deep into what it really looks like to walk away from “safe” choices, navigate subconscious fear, rewrite money stories, and recognize when success stops working because it’s costing you your life force. This conversation weaves together business energetics, money mindset, identity, trauma healing, motherhood, and the quiet courage it takes to say yes without guarantees. It’s about slowing down to access more, releasing the need for certainty, and letting your dream lead even when the how isn’t clear yet. If you’ve been feeling the pull to do things differently, to trust your timing, or to finally listen to the dream that keeps coming back, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Marketing and Sales Without Burning Your Life Down w. Teresa Prieto

    This episode is for anyone who has built momentum before and quietly wondered, is this actually scalable, or am I just holding it together? In this conversation on the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny and Teresa talk about what it really takes to grow marketing and sales over the long term, especially when you’re not willing to sacrifice your family, your freedom, or your nervous system to do it. Teresa shares what she’s learned from building a global sales operation across Latin America, scaling one of the most successful Sandler offices in the world, and creating years of consistent lead flow through YouTube and content that compounds. Not hacks. Not virality. Systems, patience, and deep audience understanding. They talk about why most people quit too early, why execution matters more than confidence, and how fear of visibility and fear of success often look the same on the surface. The conversation also moves into identity, motherhood, and the moment when a business that looks successful on paper no longer fits the life you want to live. Timestamps 00:00 Yes, and!

    Peak Performance Without Burnout w. Julia Arndt

    What if peak performance didn’t require burnout, overworking, or constant pushing? In this episode of Yes, And!, Bunny searches for the answer to this question with TEDx speaker and Peak Performance Method founder, Julia Arndt. Throughout their conversation, they explore what sustainable success actually looks like for high achievers, and if you’re here, chances are you’re one too. Julia’s journey is one for the books. After nearly a decade at Google and a personal burnout experience, Julia went through a season of deep work to release deeply rooted beliefs around hard work, productivity, and self-worth. The result? She unlocked faster business growth, deeper fulfillment, and a life she doesn’t want to escape from —but genuinely looks forward to— without sacrificing ambition. This conversation is gold. It dives into burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, stress and performance, feminine and masculine energy in business, and how letting go can create momentum across career, relationships, and life.

    Coming Home to Your Body w. Pelvic Floor Therapist Allison Germundson

    How often do you actually feel at home in your body? This is one of the core questions Bunny Young explores with Allison Germundson, pelvic floor therapist, lactation counselor, and host of the podcast Vaginally Speaking. This episode dives deep into the tools women can access to reconnect with their bodies, feel whole again, and fully embody pleasure and healing. It also explores how society conditions women to disconnect from their bodies, how language alone can reveal where power has been suppressed, and why the pelvic floor is not just physical, but emotional, energetic, and deeply tied to identity, pleasure, and leadership. They don’t hold back. Bunny and Allison talk openly about how trauma, stress, and cultural shame live in the body, and why reconnection doesn’t begin with fixing yourself, but with listening. This conversation moves far beyond pelvic floor health. It touches business, creativity, desire, confidence, and the quiet power that becomes available when women stop operating from the neck up and start trusting the wisdom that lives in their bodies.

    Rewiring Motherhood w. Angela Howard Certified Hypnotherapist

    Motherhood has a way of bringing everything to the surface. In this episode of Yes, And!, Bunny dives into the changes a woman experiences in her life before, during, and after birth with certified hypnotherapist and Motherwell app founder Angela Howard. This conversation starts with a question we all want an answer to: why do mothers so often put themselves last, and how deeply conditioned that pattern really is? Throughout this interview, Bunny and Angela explore how burnout becomes normalized in motherhood, how phone habits and constant dopamine hits keep nervous systems dysregulated, and why “hot mess mom” culture can quietly reinforce self-neglect. Angela also dives into how hypnotherapy works beneath the conscious mind to rewire long-standing patterns, regulate stress, and create moments of real calm, even in the middle of full, demanding lives. This episode is about questioning what you’ve been taught to carry, and what becomes possible when caring for yourself is no longer an afterthought. Remember to share this with a mom you love!

    Slaying Self-Doubt Without Losing Yourself w. Katherine Wintsch

    Think of this episode as if you’re sitting in a hotel lobby with a close friend and suddenly realizing you’re talking about the things that quietly shape your entire life. In this first episode of 2026 of the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny talks with Katherine Wintsch, founder and CEO of The Mom Complex. In this conversation, they dive deep into the thoughts women say to themselves when no one is listening... the kind of self-talk that follows you across careers, relationships, motherhood, and success. But they go one step further, challenging every listener to an exercise that, if done consciously, has the capacity to help women change their relationship with the negative thoughts that live rent-free in their inner conversations. From there, they move through what it means to teach that inner voice some manners, why self-care isn’t enough, and how soul care asks for something deeper and sometimes uncomfortable.
