You're Still a Mom: For Every Woman Navigating Mother's Day With a Heavy Heart with Haleigh Baiada

DISCLOSURE: This episode contains open discussion of pregnancy loss, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and infertility. If any of these topics are sensitive for you right now, please listen at your own pace or save this one for when you're ready. ----------------- Mother's Day is coming, and this episode is for the women who are navigating it with a heavy heart. This week, I sat down with my friend Haleigh, and she gave us something really rare: the unfiltered truth about what it's like to walk through infertility, pregnancy loss, and the kind of grief that doesn't come with a roadmap. Haleigh shares her journey through five miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies, what it felt like to consider IVF, and what nobody tells you about trying to grow your family after you've already had a baby. We talk about the things people say that don't help, the moments she felt completely alone, and what it finally feels like to be on the other side even when the journey isn't over. If you're struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, secondary infertility, or just dreading Mother's Day, you are not alone.

Imposter Syndrome Doesn't Stop at the Top with Beth Flippo

She packed up her family, moved to Ohio on an air mattress, and bet everything on a drone. Beth Flippo is the CEO and founder of DEXA — a drone delivery company that earned the same FAA certifications as Amazon and Google with a team of 25 people and a fraction of the budget. She's an embedded software engineer, a former Wall Street quantitative analyst, a mom of four, and the first female CEO of an unmanned airline. And in this episode, she holds nothing back. We dig into what it actually costs to chase something you believe in, the sacrifices, the self-doubt, and the moments where quitting would have been so much easier. Beth gets real about imposter syndrome at the CEO level, what it's like to still be underestimated in rooms she's earned her way into, and why she refuses to hide her femininity in one of the most male-dominated industries in the world. This one is for the woman who's been told to think smaller. The one sitting on an idea she hasn't acted on yet. The one who assumed women at the top have it all figured out. Fun Fact: they don't. They just keep going anyway. Support Our Sponsors SkinGlow by Marissa: Esthetician based in Amarillo, Texas who is all about clean, intentional treatments that bring out your natural glow.

The Strong Ones Are Tired with Marcy McKay

There are two kinds of tired. The kind you sleep off, and the kind that's been quietly building for years. In this episode, I sat down with Marcy McKay — author, speaker, and mindset coach — and y'all, she had me looking at my own life by the end of it. Marcy opens up about her 2017 house fire and how it forced her to uncover something she never expected: perfectionism, over-functioning, and a lifelong need to be the fixer for everyone around her. What started as the worst thing that ever happened to her became the wake-up call she didn't know she needed. We talk about what high-functioning burnout actually looks like, the difference between CARE and CARRY, and why so many women are still hauling weight from 2020 that they never put down. Marcy even turned the mic on me a little! If you've ever driven somewhere and couldn't remember the drive, said yes before you even checked in with yourself, or reloaded the dishwasher because your husband did it wrong... this one's for you.

32 Years In, and I'm Starting Over with Dorelen Rasor

What happens when the job that defined you for 32 years is suddenly gone AND you're 50 years old, starting over? In this episode, I sit down with my best friend Dorelen, a woman who built herself up from a customer service rep at 19 to Vice President and Director of Operations, growing a company from one location to five and becoming the heartbeat of everything she touched. And then, in an instant, that chapter closed. Dorelen gets refreshingly honest about what the transition has actually looked like from the grief, the loss of identity, the silence where a full inbox used to be, and the unexpected places she found herself again. Spoiler alert: it wasn't a new job title. It was a patio, a good drink, and the friends who didn't need her to have it all together. This one is for the woman who has ever tied her worth to what she does. For anyone in the middle of a season that didn't go according to plan. And for anyone who just needs permission to still be figuring it out. Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!

Sweet Treat: Stop Trying to Rebuild What You HAD

If you’re in a season of change — a move, a new chapter, a total life shake-up — this episode is for you. In this little treat of an episode, we’re digging into something most women don’t talk about: the quiet grief that comes with life transitions, and the sneaky trap of trying to rebuild your old life instead of actually growing into your new one. The version of you that had it all together? She’s gone. And that might be the best thing that’s ever happened to you. This isn’t a self-help lecture. It’s the kind of conversation you’d have with your best friend over girl dinner and a glass of rosé. Because personal growth doesn’t have to be a TED Talk. Sometimes it’s just an honest moment of asking yourself "what do I actually want to bring into this next season?" Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!
