Episode 74: Gina Fresquez and The Ambitious Woman

The A Braver Brand maternity leave series comes to a close this week with my conversation with Gina Fresquez, international speaker, author, and success and leadership coach for high-achieving, ambitious women. In this episode, Gina and I crack open The Ambitious Woman - a woman who both of us know intimately (because we are her) - from the mental chatter that holds us back, the fears that pop up and keep us stuck, what it’s like to learn to move through fear and shame faster, and why it all goes beyond our work, career, and business success.

Episode 73: Chantelle Davis-Gray on Self-Trust and the Creative Journey

We’re continuing the A Braver Brand maternity leave series with a conversation with Chantelle Davis-Gray, branding and website designer for do-good, feel-good businesses. In this episode, Chantelle and I dive deep into what self-trust means to us, the places where we’ve felt our self-trust waver, how our self-trust mirrors the patterns of our outside relationships, how we combat self-doubt and comparisonitis, and what it’s like to build out our evidence bank of self-trust.

Episode 72: Melanie Villeneuve on Transparency, Hard Choices, & Why It’s All About The Invitation

The A Braver Brand maternity leave series continues with Episode Four and my conversation with Melanie Villeneuve, co-owner of The Northern Table, a Canadian-based brand that aims to create delicious herbal blends - both tea and salt blends - that are aligned with the seasons, transparently sourced, and deeply connected to the land. In this episode, Mel and I talk all about the birth of The Northern Table, what it’s like to be in the infancy stages of a new brand and business, what it looks like to make hard choices while staying within your values, and why they’re not in the “tea and salt market” but aiming for something so much greater.

This week on A Braver Brand, as a part of our autumn our maternity leave series, I’m overwhelmingly thrilled to be sharing my conversation with my friend - and repeat guest! - Frankie Simmons. Frankie is an Intuitive Business and Life Coach helping high-achieving magic-makers quit burnout do what they love with more ease, success, and fun. In this episode, she and I talk all about her own entrepreneurial journey - from struggling with fibromyalgia, mono, and anxiety to her first steps into personal development, from the tools and modalities that healed her in unexpected ways to the way that she built her business on a foundation of joy, health, and sustainability.

Episode 70: Kate on Befriending Your Inner Critic

This week on A Braver Brand, we’re continuing my maternity leave series with a solo episode all about befriending your inner critic… and what it’s been like to befriend mine. In this episode, I share all about my own relationship with my inner critic (and why it hasn’t always - and isn’t always - a good one), what I’ve learned from trying #alltheapproaches, and why, in the end, it’s all about dancing with it, learning from it, and still moving forward in the direction of your dreams.
