When I first heard Elena Lubenets’ story, I thought “how ironic…an insurance agent who completed one of the riskiest activities possible.” (You’ll just have to listen to find out what this risk taker did!) But what I LOVE is how facing a very physical risk led her to face the fear of leaving her corporate career. In this episode, Elena and I chat about facing fear to follow more purposeful work, being a woman in a leadership role in a male-dominated industry, the differences between selling and educating, and a whole lot more.

In my professional development group for women, Learn. Connect. Support., I cannot tell you how many times our conversations turn to hormones! (As I always say, you can’t separate PERSONAL development from PROFESSIONAL development; we’re going to cover it all!) We’re SO lucky to have a doctor in our circle. :) Sooo…I invited Dr. Bethany to join me on the podcast to discuss how her practice model is different. (If you’re not familiar with the term “concierge medicine,” here you go.) And of course, we’re going to talk about hormone replacement and all the other services she offers at Retro Health + Aesthetics. Listen in!

THIS episode is for everyone! My guest, Merry Korn, shares so much information about overcoming fear…stories from her life, book recommendations, and even a list of things to do to move forward when you are afraid. I heard Merry’s story when she presented at a meeting I attended, and I STILL got chills talking to her for this podcast. I took down so many notes and takeaways. For example, I jotted down that hitting rock bottom can be a blessing, and that you just have to put on blinders and take action. Of course, you’ll want to listen to the entire episode for context and take your own notes! :) And don’t forget to subscribe to the Girl Next Door Wanting More podcast and share with your like-minded friends!

Get ready for a treat as I chat with my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Lisa Federico! This is one of those episodes that could have gone on for a couple hours and taken so many turns! In fact, I’m struggling to even come up with one concise episode title that adequately describes our conversation. We chat about going from corporate to entrepreneurship, the process of finding who you really are again, the importance of community, having a servant heart, marketing strategy…so much good stuff.

In the last episode, I talked about limiting beliefs and how we can reprogram our thoughts. (So if you missed the last episode, listen to this one and then go back and get caught up.) In THIS episode, I’m talking about CATCHING those thoughts that you want to reprogram, and I’m sharing a fact-based exercise to help you determine if the thought you have is true or false. I talk about gaslighting in this episode. I DO want to call out that I am NOT a therapist; I am simply sharing my experience. My hope, as always, is that you will find some useful nugget that you can apply to your own life and situation. Here we go!

In this episode, I’m talking about limiting beliefs. What are limiting beliefs? How do they keep you stuck? How can you change these beliefs and reach your full potential? Coaching and presenting on matters of mindset is my sweet spot, so I’m thrilled to be sharing this episode with YOU. I’ll give you a little explanation of why our brains create limiting beliefs in the first place. I’ll share a couple examples of my own limiting beliefs and how I work through them. And I’ll wrap it up with some action steps for how you can identify and work through your OWN limiting beliefs. Sound like a plan? Great! Take a listen!!

I can’t get enough of this topic…People Pleasing! It comes up all the time. Sometimes in a joking, almost self-depricating manner like, “What’s wrong with me? I say yes to everything,” and sometimes as a more serious, “I need help, I’m overwhelmed, I’m not in control of my own time.” Obviously, I wouldn’t be so invested in this topic if I wasn’t also seeking answers for myself. So, I enlisted the wisdom of Coach Charlotte Gray. In this episode, we’re discussing what it means to be a people pleaser, what the consequences of being a people pleaser are, and how to begin changing our people pleasing behavior. Listen and learn.

The topic that comes up most often in conversations with other ‘girls next door’ is about the degree of people pleasing we do. There is definitely a spectrum in my friend group, ranging from those who hold firm boundaries to those who bend over backwards to please others. In a recent encounter with my three cats, I got to witness three very different levels of people pleasing. The cats’ responses to a stressful situation provided me with examples of how humans react to situations based on their people pleasing tendencies. Listen in and decide which cat you relate to most.

In this episode, I am using the analogy of a really ugly run I completed recently to explain universal lessons about goal achievement. In addition to resistance and surrender, I’m talking about motivation, discipline, and of course, mindset!

If you knew you were going to live to be 100, would you be planning for your future differently? Would you be taking care of yourself differently? In this episode, I’m talking to Ann Fox of Centenari-Ann. Ann fully expects to live to 100 as her happy, healthy, fulfilled self. I’m excited for you to hear my conversation with Ann! She is sharing what we can be doing as women in our 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s to prepare for the “retirement years,” knowing that retirement does not have to look like it did for our parents’ generation. Ann gives you a lot to think about as far as how to have healthy relationships, how to take care of your physical and mental health, and possibilities for how to enjoy your time after 50.

Do you need to build your network even if you don’t work outside the home? If you aren’t currently looking for a job? And what does that even mean, “network?” This is one of my FAVORITE topics to talk about! If you don’t relate to the term “network,” then replace it with terms like “team” or “circle.” What I’m talking about in this episode of Girl Next Door Wanting More is NOT your corporate schmoozie networking; I’m talking about gathering the right people around you that can change your life for the better!

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of the Girl Next Door Wanting More podcast! In this episode, I am chatting with my ROCKSTAR friend, Katy Tombaugh. Katy is one of the most deliberate and thoughtful women in business I know, and I love how our conversation flowed to so many important topics for business owners. In this interview, Katy and I talk about working IN your business versus working ON your business. What’s the difference? Why does it matter? Katy addresses the need to “stop shoulding on yourself,” how she measures success in business, and shares lessons from her 18 years on the entrepreneur roller coaster. And of course, since Katy is the owner of the Wellness Collective, I got her thoughts on self-care. Let’s jump in!

As we roll into this season of giving and gratitude, I first want to share how grateful I am to the Girl Next Door Wanting More listeners and guests for supporting me and making Season 1 a reality. Please, please, please go back and listen to all of the episodes and join me in 2025 for Season 2! Now on with THIS episode… As I said, as we are in this season of giving, I am excited to introduce you to my friend, Jamie Maze, who is one of the most generous and fun givers I know. In this episode, we talk about what the heck “Rotary” is, how giving is so addictive, and how giving and hanging out with other givers just makes you feel good!!

Does giving come naturally to you? Is being a giver instinctual? Is it a value you can develop? 

In this episode, I’m talking with my exceptionally kind friend, Shannon Stark. Shannon is one of the most thoughtful women I know, so it’s only fitting that I would want to chat with her as we move into the season of giving. Shannon shares how and why she became such an intentional giver and she offers easy steps for anyone else to become a giver. I love the language Shannon uses around this topic. Makes me want to listen to this episode again and again. I think you’ll love it too!

Have you ever worked so hard for what you thought would be “perfect” (your perfect significant other, your perfect vacation, your perfect job) only to discover it was only “perfect” on paper? 

In this episode of the Girl Next Door Wanting More podcast, I’m having that conversation with Jessica Brugger, “corporate dropout” turned entrepreneur. We’re discussing the moment Jessica realized her corporate career was not going to fulfill her, no matter what the title, and how she found the confidence to start her own company and do what she loves. Listen in!

The whole premise of the Girl Next Door Wanting More podcast is that listeners feel a little (or big!) desire in them for MORE. Me included! AND this podcast offers insights, advice, and inspiration from myself and my guests for HOW to take steps to achieve your MORE. But guess what…at some point you’ll want to listen and TAKE ACTION.

In this episode of Girl Next Door Wanting More, I’m talking about how if you’re wanting more, you need to do more. No, I don’t mean “do more” as in you’re not already busy. I mean “do more” as in do some things you’ve never done before. Get outside of your comfort zone. It’s the classic saying, “if you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” Listen in as I share the benefits of getting out of your comfort zone; and I’ll share some of my own personal “outside of my comfort zone” moments…the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Are you part of “the sandwich generation?” If you don’t know what that is, then listen and learn. If you DO know what that is, then listen and ADD to your learning. And, of course, my conversation with Noelle Lagusch goes beyond “the sandwich generation.” We’re talking wine, careers, self-care, and MORE!

I’m excited for you to get to know my friend, Noelle Lagusch! She is so kind, and fun, and thoughtful, and just a wonderful woman to know. In our conversation about her roles as caregiver to her mother, wife, business woman, mom…Noelle gave me a lot to think about. I’m positive this episode will give you some new things to think about too!

I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with my friend, Cheryl Bougie! I wanted to bring her on the podcast to share that “wanting more” does not always mean business, career, money, or the typical images of success. Yes, as a serial entrepreneur, Cheryl has wanted that “more” too…and will focus on that again at some point…but Cheryl shares how/why she got really clear on her priorities and what she’s done to make her priorities her MORE.
