#36 When Girls Believe They Belong: A Conversation with Sarah Jakle

In this episode, I’m joined by multi-passionate entrepreneur, hypnotherapist, and intuitive business mentor Maris Saar for a conversation that feels both expansive and deeply personal. From growing up in Estonia with a relentless drive to learn and achieve, to building a life that blends neuroscience, healing, and entrepreneurship, Maris shares the winding path that led her to helping others reconnect with their true selves. What began as a simple connection in an online group turned into a powerful coaching relationship. A relationship that challenged me, stretched me, and ultimately helped me rediscover joy, trust, and alignment in both my life and my work. Together, we talk about what it really means to peel back the layers, listen to your nervous system, and build a life (and business!) that feels like you.

#34 Paisley the Musical: Teaching Kids (and Adults) They Are Enough

In this episode, I’m joined by writer, producer, and visionary creative Deborah Weed for a conversation that feels equal parts magical and deeply transformative. Deborah is the heart behind Paisley the Musical and founder of the Self-Worth Initiative, a movement rooted in helping people reclaim their voice, their value, and their power. From directing multi-million-dollar corporate projects to spending three years bedridden from a life-threatening misdiagnosis, Deborah shares the pivotal moments that reshaped her understanding of self-esteem versus self-worth. What began with a single copper penny became a mission: to help children (and the adults who love them) understand that their value isn’t determined by perfection, performance, or outside validation. Together, we explore the courage it takes to stop giving your power away “quill by quill” and what it means to step back into your authentic voice.

#33 When Women Support Women: Why Collaboration Changes Everything

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and the Executive Director of YWCA Duluth, Morgan Beryl, for a heartfelt and empowering conversation about leadership, belonging, and what it truly means to live your values. Morgan is one of those rare leaders who lead with heart, presence, and integrity. Today, she shares the personal journey that has shaped how she shows up for her community, her team, and herself. From growing up between South Florida and New York City to living all across the country in search of purpose and belonging, Morgan reflects on how her experiences with change, identity, and being underestimated helped her develop the courage, compassion, and clarity she now brings to her work. Together, we explore what it means to lead without ego, support other women without competition, and find your power from within, and not from a title.
