Hamptons Hustle & Heart | Michelle Madonna on the Reset You Have Been Avoiding

Michelle Madonna spent years designing beautiful outdoor spaces as a principal landscape architect on the East End. From the outside, everything looked successful. But behind the scenes, life was pulling her in every direction. IVF, family struggles, trauma, and the quiet realization that something had to change. That change didn’t happen overnight. It came through meditation, Reiki, somatic work, and the kind of inner work most of us keep postponing. In this episode, Michelle shares how she transitioned from designing outer landscapes to helping people rebuild their inner ones. We talk about what meditation actually does for an overwhelmed mind, why starting with just five minutes can shift everything, how Reiki works and why it’s being used in hospitals, and what it really means to stop putting yourself last. We also dive into the power of the Hamptons itself, why the ocean is more than just a view, and how healing often starts with something much simpler than we think. This conversation is honest, grounding, and a reminder that you don’t have to keep running on empty. Find Michelle at claritymindstudio.com and on Instagram.

Hamptons Hustle & Heart: Stop Putting Yourself Last (with Dr. Marisa Weiss, Founder of Breastcancer.org)

What if putting yourself first isn’t selfish — but actually smart? In this episode, Kim Lenar Ehrhardt sits down with Dr. Marisa Weiss, nationally recognized breast oncologist, passionate patient advocate, breast cancer survivor, and founder of Breastcancer.org. With over 35 years of clinical leadership and 25 years running one of the world’s most trusted breast health platforms, Dr. Weiss shares real talk on the emotional and practical toll of always being the one who takes care of everyone else.

Hamptons Hustle & Heart | More Than a Meal: The Heart Behind Feast & Fettle

This week on Hamptons Hustle & Heart, I sat down with Kyla Hanaway-Quinlan, the Chief Operations Officer of Feast & Fettle—a meal delivery company that’s not just delivering food, but a whole new standard of care, connection, and community. What started as a way to solve the “what’s for dinner?” struggle turned into a bigger conversation about what it means to build a business with heart. We talked about the company’s unique approach to meal planning, why they insist on in-house chefs and delivery teams, and how they’ve created a workplace that truly supports every team member—including those in recovery or reentering the workforce. And yes, we also talked about dinner shortcuts, picky kids, Tuesday night ice cream, and the beauty of reclaiming your evenings for what really matters. If you’re a busy woman juggling work, life, and feeding your people—or if you’re building a brand that wants to do good from the inside out—you’ll want to hear this one. 🎙️ Brought to you in partnership with Feast & Fettle. 🍴 Learn more: feastandfettle.com
