209: when what used to work doesn’t anymore

Web Admin 0 44 Article rating: No rating

Hi friends!

I’m finally back with a new podcast episode and apparently I had a lot to say.

This one is part honest life update, part behind-the-scenes business plot twist, and part “ok, what am I doing next?”

Listen to the episode:

After almost 18 years of building this business, the version that had worked for a very long time suddenly wasn’t working the same way anymore. Losing a major income stream I had built on someone else’s platform sent me into a full identity crisis and forced me to ask some uncomfortable questions.

What do you do when the thing you know how to do – and have done successfully for years – stops working?

Who are you when an old version of your business, career, health, or life no longer fits, but the next version isn’t completely clear yet?

In this episode, I’m sharing what has been happening behind the scenes, what this season has taught me, and why I’m going all in on helping women over 40 understand what’s happening in their bodies and feel like themselves again.

We chat about:

  • The identity crisis that happened when something I had built for 18 years stopped working the way it used to
  • What losing ShopMy forced me to face about building a business on platforms you don’t own
  • Why I’m focusing more than ever on the things I do own: my expertise, website, email list, content, and relationships with all of you
  • My own health journey—including the eye flares, rashes, joint pain, exhaustion, histamine issues, and positive autoimmune markers that completely changed the way I approach health
  • Why treating every symptom like a separate problem kept me stuck
  • The moment I realized that functional health wasn’t going to remain a side note in my business
  • My new signature health coaching program, SPARK, which is officially launching October 14th
  • Who SPARK is designed to help and why I created it specifically for the woman who is still getting everything done but knows it should not feel this hard to live in her body
  • What I’ve learned about burnout, reinvention, and making decisions when you absolutely do not have the next 20 years mapped out
  • Why you don’t need to know exactly where the new path leads—you just need to identify the next right step

I wish I could wrap this up by telling you I know exactly what the next chapter looks like, but I don’t. I’m still figuring it out as I go.

What I do know is that I feel more excited and hopeful than I did a few months ago. I have a direction again, even if I can’t see the entire path or exactly where it’s headed yet.

If you’re in one of those weird in-between seasons too, I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone.

I’m also sharing more about SPARK, my new four-month health coaching program for women who feel exhausted, infl

Hi friends!

I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about mold and how it can silently be affecting your health.

I’m sitting down with Brian Karr, second generation indoor environmental consultant and co-founder of We Inspect and The Dust Test. Brian has helped thousands of people create healthier living environments and has become a go-to expert for medical professionals nationwide on mold and biotoxin issues.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your home could be affecting your health, or if you’ve been dealing with mystery symptoms that nobody can explain, then check out what we chat about:

  • Why mold is not a new problem, but why we are only now starting to connect the dots between it and so many chronic health conditions
  • The surprising reason why dried out mold colonies can actually be more dangerous than wet ones
  • Why new builds are not automatically safe and the three ways mold can get into a brand new home before you even move in
  • Why you do not have to gut your entire house, and how having the right data makes the process far less overwhelming and expensive
  • The most common spots in your home where mold is hiding that you are probably not checking
  • Why those little mold testing pucks from the store can give you both false positives and false negatives and what to do instead
  • What The Dust Test is, how it works, and why it gives you a much more accurate picture of what is happening in your home
  • How The Dust Test can actually cross-reference mold in your home with mycotoxins found in your body
  • The free Mold Exposure Score tool Brian created and how to use it as your starting point

And so much more!!

It was so great getting to talk with Brian and I hope you love this episode!
