98: Becky Farrar in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Becky Farrar to talk about fear, perfectionism, identity, and what it actually takes to move forward when your nervous system wants safety more than growth. Becky shares the moment she dropped out of dance college at 18 because of self-doubt, and how years later she found herself facing fear all over again while expanding beyond the dance studio she built. We talk about the difference between staying safe and truly living, why people overthink themselves into paralysis, and how fear often shows up right before expansion. This conversation dives into Becky’s framework for moving through fear, the power of “future self” identity, and why small consistent actions matter more than giant emotional leaps. If you’ve been stuck waiting to feel “ready,” this episode is your sign that ready is a decision—not a feeling. Becky Farrar a personal development speaker and is the creator of The FEAR Theory™ known for changing the way people understand fear.  After 21 years building an award-winning dance academy focused on developing confidence from the inside out, she now speaks and works with individuals, schools, and organisations on how to respond to fear as identity evolves. Her work centres on a simple but powerful shift: fear isn’t a stop sign - it’s a doorway to expansion. Through her approach to self-leadership, Becky helps people move through self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism and pressure, so they can make decisions that actually reflect who they’re becoming. She’s known for her real, relatable way of speaking - translating internal experiences into clear, usable insight and for helping people trust themselves before the evidence exists. Her core message: you don’t need to get rid of fear to move forward - you just need to learn how to lead yourself in its presence.

97: Shelli Galvan in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Shelli Galvan to talk about fear, health, and what happens when you stop trusting your own body. Shelli shares her experience of being misdiagnosed with lupus and how that fear impacted her mindset, her health, and her daily life. We get into how fear can take over your nervous system, why so many people stay stuck in “flare-up mode,” and what it actually takes to rebuild trust in yourself again. We also talk about small, consistent actions—why they matter more than extreme changes—and how things like mindset, boundaries, and daily habits can completely shift your health and your life. This episode is about breaking fear cycles, questioning what you’ve been told, and learning how to trust yourself again. I Refused to Let Fear Define Me I was told I had lupus. And just like that, fear tried to take control—fear of symptoms, fear of the future, fear of my own body. But I didn’t accept that as my story. I leaned into what I knew about the mind, the nervous system, and the body’s ability to respond to safety—not just fear. After seeking further answers, I learned I had been misdiagnosed. But the real transformation wasn’t just in the diagnosis—it was in how I learned to work with my body instead of fearing it. Hi I'm Shelli I'm a Master Transformation Coach and Hypnotherapist.  I help women living with autoimmune conditions break free from the flare-up cycle so they can calm their body, restore their energy, and feel safe and confident in their bodies again. https://www.shelligalvan.com/ [https://www.shelligalvan.com/]

95: Jake April in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with Jake April to talk about judgment, identity, and what it really takes to stop letting other people define you. Jake opens up about being judged from a young age due to a physical disability, and how those early experiences shaped his confidence, his mindset, and his drive.

94: Arusyak Abrahamyan in the hot seat

In this episode of Listen Bitch Presents: Tell Me Why You’re Special, I sit down with family law attorney Arusyak Abrahamyan to talk about the conversations most couples avoid—money, prenups, and what actually destroys marriages. We get into the reality of financial conflict in relationships, why emotional attachment to money leads to bad decisions, and how a lack of communication can quietly build toward divorce. Arusyak breaks down why prenups aren’t about planning for failure—they’re about protection, clarity, and responsibility. We also talk about how culture, upbringing, and personal identity shape how people view money, and why couples need to get honest about expectations before they build a life together. If you’re in a relationship, building a business, or planning a future with someone… this is the conversation you should probably be having but aren’t. I’m a California family law attorney and litigator with over a decade of courtroom experience in high-conflict and high-asset cases. I’ve represented entrepreneurs, professionals, and financially sophisticated individuals through complex divorces, business valuations, custody battles, and asset disputes. Years in the courtroom changed how I see marriage. I’ve witnessed how financial silence, unclear expectations, and unmanaged conflict can quietly erode even strong relationships. That experience shaped my passion for prenuptial strategy — not from a place of fear, but from a place of clarity, protection, and empowerment. I believe a well-designed prenup is not about planning for divorce. It’s about maturity. It’s about transparency. It’s about protecting love from avoidable financial chaos. On podcasts, I bring: -Real stories from the courtroom (without compromising confidentiality) -Insight into how smart, successful people unintentionally create risk -Strategic guidance for entrepreneurs and high earners entering marriage -A nuanced perspective on women, wealth, and power in relationships -Practical advice on how to have difficult financial conversations with grace Beyond law, I am also the founder of a wellness and longevity brand (Ivy En Rose, Eternia). Building businesses while raising my daughter has deepened my understanding of partnership dynamics, asset protection, and what it means to build something worth protecting. Podcast Topics Why prenups are an act of love, not pessimism Protecting business owners before marriage Financial compatibility and relationship longevity The psychology of divorce litigation Women, ambition, and financial independence in marriage How high-conflict divorces actually unfold Designing agreements that prevent future courtroom battles I speak with warmth, precision, and honesty. I’m comfortable discussing both the legal mechanics and the emotional undercurrents of marriage and divorce — and I aim to leave audiences more informed, empowered, and prepared. https://bayarealawgroup.com/ [https://bayarealawgroup.com/]
