We Are, So You Can

The Powerhouse Paradox: Burnout, Boundaries & Coming Home to Yourself

“You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.” — Brené Brown Dr. Brittany McGeehan helps high-achieving women stop performing leadership and start embodying it. In this powerful conversation, we talk about trauma, burnout, self-abandonment, and the subtle ways women are taught to override their instincts in the name of being "good enough." Brittany shares her own unraveling—and the community that helped her rebuild—as she transitioned from therapist to leadership coach. We dive into why exhaustion is worn like a badge of honor, how to reclaim your energy without guilt, and what it really takes to lead from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt like your ambition and your body are at odds, this one’s for you. 👉 Join us at the Leadership Summit (formerly known as LLAM) (June 17–19) and hear Brittany speak live: https://bit.ly/LLAM-register [https://bit.ly/LLAM-register] 🎧 Listening after the summit?

From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Kelly Morgan and the Power of Voice

After a predatory publisher tried to sabotage her debut, Kelly didn’t quit—she built something better. Now, she’s on a mission to help others share their stories without compromise.

We talk about the messy middle, the fear of failure, the power of community—and how trusting your voice can lead to something bigger than you imagined. Kelly is also a featured speaker at the upcoming summit (formerly known as LLAM), where she’ll share how to lead with intention and write your next chapter—literally and figuratively. ✨ This one will hit you in the gut (in the best way).

Nacho Business: Katrina Carrasquillo on Teaching, Tough Love & Taking Time for You

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats Katrina Carrasquillo didn’t plan to become a teacher—but the classroom had other ideas. What started as a detour became a five-decade legacy of igniting minds, raising expectations, and loving students into their highest potential. From ESL in the Philippines to high school Shakespeare in the States, Katrina’s story is one of fierce passion, no-nonsense mentorship, and deep community care. Her approach? Tough love, high standards, and showing up for her students long after graduation day. We also dive into what keeps her flame lit—faith, sisterhood, spa days, and rock-solid boundaries (plus a little wine and a whole lot of laughter). Whether you're an educator, a parent, or a woman navigating what’s next, Katrina’s wisdom reminds us how to lead with love and live without regrets. So grab your coffee—or your wine—and settle in for a heart-filled ride with one unforgettable teacher. 👉 If you’re ready to reclaim your spark and build a life with more clarity, boundaries, and joy, check out the Overcoming the Working Mama Mindf**k video series and The Inner Circle at https://mariposamastermind.com/

The Good, Bad, and Ugly of My First Podcast Season: Kat Rogers

"End? No, the journey doesn't end here.” – J.R.R. Tolkien Was it perfect? Was it exactly how I imagined it? No. It was none of those things, but it was something I challenged myself to do and something I enjoyed doing along the way, and in the end, isn't that what we all want to do with our lives- challenge ourselves to be a bit better or more daring or to grow in some way and to enjoy the journey? This episode takes a look at what I enjoyed doing this season, what I need to work on, and things to aim for. Come listen to Kat share what she felt worked and didn't for this first season of  "We Are, So You Can."

Job Hunter to Ghost Writer: Krista Giannak

"You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it’s important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.” – Michelle Obama How you choose to look at things matters. Take Krista for example. There was a period in her life when she was spending serious time job hunting, and day after day, application after application, and was getting nowhere, aside from depressed! So, she decided her 2 choices were - A) do nothing or B) do something - and thus the accidental entrepreneur was born! Picking herself up from the job-hunt slump, Krista became an avid networker, and then a business owner. Hear her share her story (and jot down some of the awesome tips she shares!) and know that you too can find your way forward. This is "We Are, So You Can."
