In today’s episode of the Raw & Real Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Amanda Baker - a licensed therapist, intuitive writer, and self-published poet, for a conversation that cracked open so many themes around self-expression, personal evolution, and rediscovering the creative identity you may have buried as a child.
We go deep on:
✨ Authenticity as a therapeutic tool in business and life
✨ How childhood masking shows up in adulthood
✨ Healing generational patterns through art and self-awareness
✨ Publishing raw, unedited childhood poetry
✨ Reconnecting with your feminine creative power
✨ And letting go of control to embrace flow and freedom
This one is for the women who know they’re meant for more -who are done playing roles, hiding parts of themselves, and trying to fit into boxes that were never built for them.
Whether you’re a creative, therapist, coach, founder, or multi-passionate human trying to make your business feel more like you again, this one is for you.
And if this conversation ignited something in you, something that says “I’m ready for that level of expansion…”, then you need to be in Austin this February.
Speak to Scale: Real & Raw Liberation
📍 Austin, Feb 6–7
👯♀️ Bring your bestie for HALF PRICE until midnight Nov 14th
🔥 Expect deep conversation, brand clarity, wild creativity, style, soul, and sisterhood.
Hey hey, welcome back to The Raw and Real Podcast — where we burn the highlight reel and go straight to the heart.
In today’s episode, I sit down with multi-passionate powerhouse Katie Oman — author of 9 books, women’s empowerment coach, speaker, and unapologetic rule-breaker. We go there — from ditching the niche to rebelling against the traditional education system, choosing your “hard” as a solo parent, and why waiting to feel “ready” is a myth.
We talk:
🔥 Owning your multi-faceted identity (and ditching the pressure to fit in a box)
✨ Making decisions without feeling ready — and why that’s your superpower
🚫 Why the education system wasn’t built for wild women — and what we’re doing instead
💥 How failure isn’t real — it’s just your ego not getting its way
This isn’t just another episode. It’s a wake-up call. A permission slip. A full-body YES to choosing the life you actually want.
If this conversation lit something up in you… get in the room.
🎤✨ Austin tickets are on sale now — but we are selling out!

You’re going to want to listen to this one twice.
In this episode, I sat down with the magnetic Bekah Slider — and what unfolded was one of the realest, rawest conversations we’ve had on the podcast to date.
We went everywhere. From sex and dating as a powerful woman… to raising empowered kids… to the decision that made her walk away from the church, the marriage, the conditioning — and back home to her truth.
Bekah doesn’t water anything down. Not her words. Not her sexuality. Not her story.
She talks about being turned on by life itself, and how de-shaming her power changed everything.
And plot twist: she bought her ticket to Austin — and upgraded to VIP — straight after this convo 👀
So if you feel something moving in your body as you listen? That’s your cue.
This episode is a reckoning, a reclamation, and a reminder:
You don’t need to shrink to be successful. You just need to show up turned all the way on.

She didn’t have the 'right audience'.
She didn’t have a 'big brand.'
But she had a story that made us stop everything.
This week’s guest on the Raw & Real™ Podcast is the kind of woman we created Speak to Scale for - a multi-passionate, multi-dimensional mother and coach who chose to be seen before it all made sense.
🎧 In this episode, we talk:
— Redefining motherhood on your own terms— Building while raising humans (and yourself)— Why most women wait too long to ask for help— And the micro-moments that become life-altering decisions
And spoiler alert…She said yes to coming to Austin.
Even though it scared her.
Even though she didn’t “feel ready.”
Because she knows:
Bravery > branding. Always.
This isn’t a guest with a million followers.

hey hey hey , this convo with Victoria is pure Real & Raw.
We get into the truth of starting over (again), courageous pivots, and the duality of womanhood: family, feelings, and big wins — all at once.
If you’re a purpose-driven woman ready to grow your women’s leadership, deepen sisterhood, and build a soul-led business without the performance, you’ll love this.
We talk entrepreneurship mindset, embodiment, holistic wellness, and how community becomes a nervous-system safety net when business moves in seasons.
Expect practical wisdom on perseverance vs. instant gratification, trusting your inner strategy over the algorithm, and turning “failure” into fuel.
If this lands and you want the in-person activation, join us at Real & Raw Liberation — Austin, Feb 6–7, 2026. Two potent days: RAW Talks Stages, high-frequency somatics/breathwork/sound, the Soul Flow Wild Wealthy Women dance party (mocktails) and more.

In this episode, I jam with Erin on manifestation that actually works, no fake energy, no fairy dust.
Recorded on a full moon in Aries (of course), we dive into sacred flow, feminine leadership, identity-first embodiment, and how aligned action turns vision into reality.
We talk higher consciousness, personal rhythm, astrology without the dogma, and building a life/business that moves with your body’s wisdom.
You’ll hear my own pivot - retiring coaching and birthing a personal brand agency in 24 hours, and why manifestation isn’t “magic,” it’s maturity: be it, then do it.
Erin shares her journey from plant medicine to practical spirituality, her Living in Kriya process, and how clearing fear creates momentum in career, money, love, health and joy.
If you’re craving grounded manifestation, somatics, self-leadership, and real talk on becoming the woman who does the thing (not just dreams it), this one’s for you.

In this solo episode of the Raw & Real Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the identity shift that’s completely re-wired my business — and my life.
From leaving the coaching industry to launching my new Speak to Scale™ Agency, this is the behind-the-scenes story of how I stopped selling “energy” and started embodying tangible transformation.
We’ll talk manifestation (the real kind — equal parts mindset, movement, and momentum), alignment, bravery, and the energetic frequency that turns your vision into reality.
If you’ve ever said, “I want to come to Austin, but…” — this is your sign. The universe doesn’t move until you do. ✈️🔥
Join me live at Real & Raw Liberation, Austin — February 6–7, 2026
where women like you collapse timelines, build empires, and dance their way into their next level.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your purpose isn’t something you go hunting for. You are the purpose.
And yet, so many high-achieving women stay stuck in the spiral of “why,” endlessly trying to figure it all out in their heads instead of letting their body lead.
In this episode of the Raw & Real Podcast, I sit down with embodiment mentor and yoga teacher Shauna Hawkes to unpack what it really means to live from alignment instead of performance. From her story of leaving the States for love and building a new life in Australia, to her deep work with the Gene Keys and women’s embodiment, we explore:
✨ How trauma and triggers can become your greatest teachers
✨ Why overthinking keeps your message flat and your brand invisible
✨ The link between sister wounds, self-trust, and showing up fully online
✨ Practical ways to drop out of your head and into your body so your clients feel you
If you’ve ever struggled to “find your purpose,” or wondered why your online content doesn’t carry the same potency your clients feel behind the scenes, this is your permission slip to strip back the layers and embody who you already are.
🎟️ CTA: Want to experience this kind of embodiment and leadership in the room? Join me and the Real & Raw Revolution at Real & Raw Liberation — Austin, Feb 6–7, 2026.
This is where your brand, message, and purpose stop being theory and start being transmission. Limited tickets available, get yours now:

This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today.
But it’s the one I had to share.
Because if I’m going to lead women into true liberation, I can’t only show you the highlight reel. I have to show you the middle of the story — the part where the shame, the doubt, and the “fuck, have I bitten off more than I can chew?” energy is loud… and I choose to move anyway.
In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of what it really takes to build Real & Raw Liberation Austin — as a single mum, on the other side of the world, with more passion than polished plans.
You’ll hear:
The duality I’m holding (wild excitement + real fear)
What no one talks about when creating iconic events
The unfiltered truth about toilets, sponsors, and sacred vision
How I lead myself through the “how the fuck is this going to work?” days
Why this isn’t just another business event… it’s a movement
This isn’t a pep talk.
It’s a permission slip.
For you to be fully human and fully in your power — at the exact same time.

In this real & raw convo, I’m joined by Heather McNally, one of my MIRROR Mini-Mind clients and a headline speaker for Real & Raw Liberation, Austin.
We dive into what it really means to lead beyond the BS (belief systems + the other kind),
& turning lived experience into liberated leadership.
We talk domestic-violence survival to self-authority, trusting full-body YES’s, human design nudges (hello, MGs + emotional waves), building a personal brand that’s you (not a performance), and why messy reps on live video are the fastest way to confidence, connection, and clients.
Heather shares her new multi-author book ‘Rise’ and the audacity it took to put her voice on the page - and the stage.

This episode was recorded before Real & Raw LIVE London, yet the conversation with Natalie is too potent not to share. We dive into everything from parenting and conscious leadership, to women’s circles, crystals, sex, surrender, and the messy middle we’re all navigating. You’ll hear the real story behind why I scrapped my first podcast, what birthed Raw & Real, and how following desire (not control) completely shifted my business, motherhood, and relationships.

I invited Amanda Graham onto the pod and we went all in on audacity, authenticity, and unlearning performative “professionalism.”
We bust the myth that success requires polish and big followings, and instead double down on service over vanity metrics, unscripted truth over scripted perfection, and nervous-system-safe growth over ego timelines.
We talk gatekeepers (and how to swerve them), the fine line between audacity vs. ego, reclaiming “selfish” as discernment, and why failure is the portal to your most aligned pivots.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to be TED-level polished, this convo will give you permission to unperform, unlock, and let your real voice lead.
Come play in person:
If this hit, you’ll love Real & Raw: Liberation — Austin. Think retreat-meets-talks: two days of high-calibre sisterhood, lakeside mansion vibes, unscripted stages, and the purest kind of networking (by the pool).

This episode lit me all the way up baby!
I sat down with the amazing Laura Johnson—multi-passionate entrepreneur, bra industry disruptor, and improv queen—and we went ALL the way in on what it actually takes to walk away from corporate, go all-in on your dream, and build a business that feels like you.
We riffed on spirituality, frequency, self-expression (yes, her hair matches our brand colours 👀✨), and the liberation that comes when you finally stop performing and start showing up raw, real, and unapologetic.
Laura’s new improv-for-business venture is GOLD, and I know so many of you listening are going to feel the fire of permission in this conversation.
And babe - if this hits, imagine this energy in person.

In this Raw and Real episode, I sit down with the incredible Blanka from Awarenest to have an unapologetically honest conversation about the tightrope walk between being a devoted mother and a driven entrepreneur. We go deep into the messy middle — the mom guilt, the self-doubt, the societal pressure to “do it all” — and the inner fire that refuses to dim, no matter how full life already feels.
Blanka shares her journey of building a purpose-led business while raising a family, the moments she’s wrestled with guilt, and the mindset shifts that have allowed her to embrace her ambition without losing herself. We unpack practical strategies for setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and redefining success on your own terms.
If you’re a mother with big dreams (and a to-do list a mile long), this episode is your permission slip to own your ambition, drop the shame, and create a life where motherhood and entrepreneurship can co-exist — powerfully.
Recorded a few months before Real & Raw Live London, this episode is like cracking open my brain and letting you see exactly how I was thinking, feeling, and moving before the event even happened. Spoiler alert — we’re now on the other side, it was everything I dreamed of and more, and we are officially gearing up for Austin, Texas in February!
I sit down with the amazing Lindsay Dollinger and we go all in on the real conversations about hosting events — the numbers, the nerves, the mindset wobbles, the costs that spiral, and the moments that make it all worth it. We talk retreats vs large-scale events, sponsors, swag bags, premium intimacy vs chasing big crowds, and why both of us are building our visions without a proven “how-to” guide.
If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the glossy highlight reel and hear exactly what it takes to create transformational in-person experiences — and why sometimes 7 people in a room can change your life more than 700 — this one’s for you.
Now that I’ve lived through it, I can tell you: the magic is real… and Austin is next.

You can’t fake embodiment. You can’t trick frequency. And you damn sure can’t lead from a place you haven’t walked through yourself.
This raw + real conversation with Human Design expert and soul-led entrepreneur Lauren Ashley hits different. We unpack:
🌀 Holding your power while the chaos of life swirls
📦 Packing houses + hosting summits at the same time (yes, really)
📍 What really happens when your energy centers are overloaded
🧬 Human Design, undefined Ajna, and how to stop doubting your voice
🔥 Why “alignment” isn’t a mood—it’s a muscle
🎤 The truth behind why Real & Raw was created (and why it’s not about speaking at all)
We also riff on what it means to lead the New Earth from the inside out—through motherhood, moves, scarcity spirals, and soul conviction.
This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a reclamation.

I freaking loved this conversation.
This was one of those episodes where we just hit record and went there...
dating profiles, ditching hustle culture, letting go of performative productivity, and building a business (and life) that actually feels good.
Cera Byer joins me for a real-time, real-life convo that had me laughing, nodding, and shouting YES more times than I can count. We unpacked everything from being brave enough to say “I don’t want kids” (and why that triggers people 🤯), to the power of releasing control in business… even if it means you’re not the best CEO for the next chapter.
This one’s for the leaders rethinking it all.
The creatives building slow and true.
The women ready to stop outsourcing their truth.
And yep, we go in on AI too. The good, the bad, and the please stop trying to write your sales page in ChatGPT voice.
If you’re craving clarity in the chaos and a permission slip to do life your way, this one’s for you.

This is the revolution.
Let’s go.
Recorded just before Real & Raw Live London, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the life we planned has to burn down… so the life we’re meant for can rise.
In this raw, heart-led conversation, I sit down with the beautiful Sridaya—an artist, healer, and truth-teller—who shares her journey from early childhood immigration, professional dance, spiritual awakening, heartbreak, betrayal, and full-circle healing into a marriage she manifested through deep self-love.
We talk about identity, grief, growth, divine timing, and what it really means to let life shape you without losing yourself. We explore the intersection of business, spirituality, art, and healing… and the power of creating from your lived experience rather than spiritual bypassing.
💬 If you’ve ever wondered why you had to go through what you went through, this episode is for you.
