Travel Like A Superwoman EP1: How Solo Hiking Helped Me Find Peace & Inner Strength After 40

Join host Gillian Utesch on the premiere episode of Travel Like A Superwoman—a brand-new travel series within A Superwoman Handbook—where inspiring women share the journeys that transformed not just the places they've seen, but the lives they've built. Most people think travel is about escaping. For this remarkable guest, it became the path to healing, confidence, and discovering a strength she never knew she had. After facing a life-changing health scare, she traded hospital rooms for hiking boots, embarking on solo adventures that took her from the breathtaking Canadian Rockies to the towering Himalayas, across Africa, and beyond. Along the way, she discovered that the greatest adventure wasn't reaching mountain summits—it was rediscovering herself. In this inspiring conversation, you'll discover how solo hiking became a powerful tool for healing and personal growth, why it's never too late to begin chasing extraordinary dreams, the mindset that transforms fear into courage on every adventure, how travel builds confidence, resilience, and independence, and why your biggest limitations are often the ones you place on yourself. Whether you're dreaming about your first solo trip, looking for the courage to step outside your comfort zone, or simply searching for inspiration to embrace life's next chapter, this episode will remind you that adventure has no age limit. Because sometimes the journey that changes your life begins with a single step.   Connect with our Guest Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muzna.amin [https://www.facebook.com/muzna.amin]   Connect with Gillian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy podcasts.

A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP8: Christine Dillard on Coercive Control & Reclaiming Your Reality

Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook Podcast as she sits down with author, speaker, and advocate Christine Dillard for a powerful conversation about coercive control, gaslighting, emotional abuse, and the long journey of reclaiming yourself after surviving an abusive relationship. After spending 17 years in a marriage marked by manipulation and coercive control, Christine shares the hidden realities of non-physical abuse—revealing why so many women struggle to recognize the warning signs until years later. In this deeply honest episode, Christine explains how coercive control quietly erodes confidence, distorts reality, and disconnects women from their own instincts. Together, Gillian and Christine explore why the body often recognizes danger long before the mind can fully understand what is happening. Christine also shares practical ways to identify unhealthy relationship patterns, trust your intuition, recognize subtle controlling behaviors, and begin the journey toward healing. Through lived experience rather than clinical theory, she offers hope to women who have questioned their reality and wondered if what they experienced "really was abuse." Whether you're healing from emotional abuse, supporting someone you love, or simply wanting to better understand coercive control and gaslighting, this conversation is filled with insight, compassion, and practical wisdom. This episode is a reminder that abuse isn't always physical—and that healing begins the moment you start trusting yourself again.   Connect with Christine Dillard: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetruthsheshowedme [https://www.tiktok.com/@thetruthsheshowedme] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetruthsheshowedme [https://www.instagram.com/thetruthsheshowedme] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/14iCRuWPw52/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/14iCRuWPw52/?mibextid=wwXIfr] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinedillard [https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinedillard] Email: cdillard98@outlook.com [cdillard98@outlook.com]   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe:   Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

A Superwoman Handbook S3 EP7: Shruti Trivedi on Healing After Pregnancy Loss & Letting Go of Guilt

Join host Gillian Utesch on A Superwoman Handbook Podcast as she sits down with pregnancy loss and transformation coach Shruti Trivedi for a deeply honest and compassionate conversation about grief, healing, self-compassion, and the hidden emotional impact of pregnancy loss. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of three babies over 11 years, Shruti turned her pain into purpose by helping women navigate grief, burnout, and life transitions with support, empathy, and understanding. In this powerful episode, Shruti opens up about the guilt, silence, and self-blame that so many women quietly carry after pregnancy loss — and why healing begins with acknowledging those emotions instead of suppressing them. Together, Gillian and Shruti explore the emotional realities of miscarriage, mental health, relationships, intimacy, and the pressure many women feel to “move on” before they are truly ready. Shruti also shares simple but transformative healing practices including journaling, creating safe emotional spaces, honoring memories, and using her framework of acknowledge, allow, and align to move through grief with kindness instead of shame. Through vulnerable storytelling and practical insight, this episode serves as a reminder that healing is not linear — and that no woman should have to grieve alone. Whether your loss was recent or decades ago, this conversation will help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to honor your story without judgment. This episode is a reminder that your grief deserves compassion, your story deserves space, and your healing deserves time.   Connect with Shruti Trivedi: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tulsihealslifecoaching [https://www.tiktok.com/@tulsihealslifecoaching] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tulsiheals_life_coaching/ [https://www.instagram.com/tulsiheals_life_coaching/] LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/shruti-trivedi-pmp-acc-8793671a [http://www.linkedin.com/in/shruti-trivedi-pmp-acc-8793671a] Email: shruzee@gmail.com [shruzee@gmail.com]   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/ [https://www.instagram.com/asuperwomanhandbook/] Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com [http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com]   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
