Grown from Within Podcast

29: ADHD, Visibility, and Showing Up Boldly

There is something powerful about realizing the way your mind works is not something to fix, but something to understand. In this episode, I sat down with Alicia Schumacher to talk about visibility, identity, and navigating life and business as neurodivergent women. Alicia shared how discovering her ADHD at 39 completely changed the way she understood herself, her work, and her purpose. So many women feel pressure to constantly perform online or show up a certain way to stay relevant, but this conversation was such a refreshing reminder that authentic visibility can look different for everyone. Sometimes it starts with simply trusting your voice enough to share it. We also talked about what Alicia calls the “second chapter” of life and business. That season where many women begin asking deeper questions beyond titles, achievements, and expectations. What do I actually want? What kind of impact do I want to make? What parts of myself have I been hiding just to fit into spaces that no longer feel aligned? If this episode resonates, consider it your reminder that the way your mind works is not something to hide or overcome. It may actually be the very thing that makes your voice, your story, and your impact so powerful.

28: Fear, Mindset, and Growth

Fear is sneaky. It does not always show up loud and obvious. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, perfectionism, or staying "busy" to avoid the thing you actually need to do. In this episode, we are unpacking the subtle ways fear quietly shapes your decisions in business. Whether it is hesitating to raise your prices, holding back from a big opportunity, or waiting until you feel "ready" to launch, there is usually something deeper going on underneath. Fear is almost always tied to something you really care about. It is a signal, not a stop sign. And when you get curious about it instead of critical, it starts to lose its power over you. We will talk about how fear connects to self worth, why courage is not about eliminating fear (but moving forward alongside it), and a few simple ways to work through it in the moment so you can stop waiting and start growing. If this episode resonates, consider it your reminder that fear is part of the process. It doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong, it usually means you’re doing something that matters.

27: Profit and Presence: Yes, You Can Have Both

In this episode, I sat down with Lauren Apple, a scaling strategist, keynote speaker, and CEO of Profit and Presence, to talk about what it really looks like to build a successful business without sacrificing your life at home. From the very beginning, Lauren shared a powerful perspective on branding, focusing less on impressing people and more on making them feel seen, understood, and given permission to want both profit and presence. Lauren opened up about her journey from ministry into the online business world and how a pivotal moment with her family forced her to rethink everything. Despite running a highly successful business, she realized she had built what she calls a “beautiful prison”, a version of success that looked good on paper but didn’t align with the life she actually wanted. That moment sparked a complete shift, leading her to rebuild her business in a way that supports both her ambitions and her role as a present parent. We also talked about the realities of being a CEO parent and how traditional productivity advice often doesn’t fit this season of life. Lauren shared practical strategies for creating systems that work within your real constraints, setting boundaries, and scaling not just revenue, but margin. For her, scaling margin means creating space: time to be with your family, time to rest, and time to actually enjoy the life you’re building. A big part of our conversation focused on mindset, how limiting beliefs, societal expectations, and internalized stories can hold us back from fully stepping into both roles. Lauren shared how important it is to balance action with reflection, test what works for your life, and let go of the idea that there’s only one “right” way to succeed. Her approach is simple but powerful: define your non-negotiables, build your business around them, and give yourself permission to do things differently. We wrapped up by talking about what it means to truly have both profit and presence. Lauren’s message is clear: you don’t have to choose between a thriving business and a meaningful personal life, but you do have to be intentional about how you build both.

26: Plot Twist! Here's What Season Two is All About

I’m back for season two with a big update: the podcast has officially been rebranded from Magnetic Coach to Grown From Within. During my break, I gave myself the space to reflect on what I truly enjoyed creating and what resonated most with you. I realized that the conversations around personal growth, mindset, and emotional resilience were the ones I felt most connected to, and that clarity led me here. This change wasn’t easy, but I’ve learned that growth sometimes asks us to pivot and trust ourselves along the way. I also share more about the shifts happening in my business: I’ve moved from focusing solely on coaches to supporting a wider range of small and service-based business owners, largely influenced by my experience in a new networking group. I talk about how I’m simplifying things, leaning into what actually drives results, and letting go of the pressure to show up everywhere. Alongside that, I open up about my journey with goal setting this year. In this episode I am reflecting on one of the biggest highlights of my quarter: co-leading a large Women in Business event. This experience pushed me far outside my comfort zone, especially when it came to public speaking. I share how old fears resurfaced, where they came from, and how I worked through them to step onto that stage with confidence and a sense of calm. It was such a full-circle moment for me, and a reminder that growth isn’t just about what we achieve, but about who we become in the process. As I step into this new season, I’m so excited for what’s ahead: new conversations, new guests, and a more holistic approach to what it means to grow a business. My intention with Grown From Within is to explore that intersection between personal and professional growth, because in my experience, they’re deeply connected. When we grow from within, everything else starts to expand too.

25: Mindset, Self-Love, and Success with Helen Eimers

In this episode, I talked with Helen Eimers, a success coach and hypnotherapist who helps high-achieving women entrepreneurs. We spoke about how much our thoughts shape our confidence, our actions, and our results. Helen shared how her work focuses on mindset, self-love, and simple tools that help women feel more confident and calm in everyday moments. She explained how small habits and fun practices can help us reset our thoughts and show up more fully in our lives and businesses. Helen also shared her personal journey from being a burned-out nurse to becoming a coach. She opened up about losing her mother at a young age, struggling with people-pleasing, and ignoring her own needs for many years. Through therapy, coaching, and deep personal work, she learned how to take care of herself, change her thinking, and trust her path. She also talked about her book, The Change: Insights Into Self Empowerment [https://book.heleneimers.com/official_launch], a collection of heartfelt stories, actionable insights, and transformational wisdom. We ended by talking about branding, entrepreneurship, and the importance of staying true to yourself. Helen reminded me that success is not just about money or growth, but about loving yourself, staying grounded, and choosing thoughts that support you. Her message was clear: see yourself through love, celebrate small wins, and don’t be afraid to show up as your real, imperfect, and joyful self.
