Reclaiming Your Hue: A Podcast for Women Rediscovering Themselves in Motherhood & Entrepreneurship

Ep. 101 with Sarah Schaffer | Realtor, Lakes Sotheby's International Realty

Pivots That Pay Off A $6,000 loss on a house flip that turns into 11 leads. Four kids in six years while walking construction sites and picking tile. A partnership offer that lands like a “cinder block from heaven.” Sarah Schaffer’s story is the kind that makes you rethink what progress looks like when you’re a working mom building a business in real estate. We talk about what drives a smart pivot: leaving a comfortable boutique brokerage to join Sotheby’s for continued growth, new standards, and the kind of mentorship that changes how you work. Sarah shares how partnering with Anne Shaeffer reshapes her view of time, boundaries, and long-term sustainability in a career where the phone never stops. We also get specific about the practical systems that keep an entrepreneurial household running, from shared calendars to kids learning real responsibility instead of being “managed” 24-7. Then the conversation shifts into what most people don’t see: neurodiversity in the family, a late autism diagnosis at 16, dyslexia, and the hard hindsight that comes with connecting the dots later than you wish you had. Sarah’s honesty opens up bigger questions about community, support, and how we advocate for our kids and ourselves. We also hold space for deep grief after a sudden family loss, and how faith and the Live Like Gina Foundation help transform pain into purpose. If you’re building a real estate career, navigating motherhood identity shifts, or trying to create real work-life balance without burning out, this one will stay with you.

Ep. 100 with Jaime Chapman & Becky Beaulieu | Championship Culture At Home

Championship Culture At Home Your kid strikes out, double-faults, falls in a routine, or melts down after a mistake and suddenly your whole body feels it too. We get it and we go there, honestly. Kelly sits down with Becky Beaulieu of Championship Culture Coach and Jaime Gaard Chapman of Gaard Performance Academy to talk about the messy middle of raising young athletes while also running a business, managing a marriage, and trying to stay steady in your own skin.  Becky shares the turning point that made “culture” impossible to ignore and why winning is often the byproduct of habits you cannot see on a stat sheet: body language, standards, team-first behavior, and the courage to address conflict instead of sweeping it away. Jaime adds what she’s learned coaching across generations, why youth sports feel more professionalized than when we grew up, and how Gen Z athletes respond to autonomy, ownership, and leadership that listens.  We also dig into sports parenting pressure, identity, and the car ride home. How do you hold high standards without tying your mood to their score? When does opportunity become overload for the whole family? What are practical ways to manage time and energy as a working mom, including batching, deliberate communication, and scheduling joy before tournaments take over the calendar? You’ll leave with mindset tools, language that protects your child’s confidence, and a clearer definition of what a healthy “championship culture” can look like at home.  If this hits close to home, subscribe, share it with a sports parent friend, and leave a review so more families can find the support they need. What part of sports parenting feels hardest for you right now?

Ep. 99 with Holly Misener | Owner/President, His Healing House & MN Christian Chamber

What If Your Next Level Scares You Because It Is Good Silence in a delivery room is a sound you never forget. Holly knows it, and she tells the story with a kind of clarity that only comes from living through years of rare diagnoses, hospital routines, and the constant mental math of “what if.” We talk about what it does to a mother’s body and identity when your child’s life depends on decisions you never expected to make, and how grief can sit in the nervous system long after the crisis ends. From that decade of medical trauma, Holly builds something purposeful: His Healing House, a faith-based functional medicine and holistic health clinic that looks for root causes and treats the whole person. We get into trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, gut health, applied kinesiology, and the “unsexy” topics people avoid like parasites, mold, and toxic exposure, plus why integrative medicine can work best when you partner with a traditional medical team instead of treating it like an either-or fight. If you’ve been stuck in anxiety, fatigue, inflammation, or chronic stress and you feel like you’ve tried everything, this conversation offers a grounded framework for what “healing” can actually mean. We also go beyond health into leadership, motherhood, and calling. Holly shares the simple 15-minute connection practice that helped calm a child’s dysregulation, her perspective on raising resilient kids without putting them in a fear-based box, and why she founded the Minnesota Christian Chamber of Commerce to create a place for Christian entrepreneurs to network and lead with integrity in the marketplace. If this hit home, share it with a mom or business owner who needs hope, then subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what’s one small step you’re ready to take toward thriving?

Ep. 98 with Alissa Ochs | Real Estate Investor & Founder, Gemhaus Design

From Corporate HR To Luxury Home Design A polished career can still leave you whispering through a closed office door while your kids are on the other side. We sit down with Alissa, founder of Gemhaus Design, to talk about what happens when a global HR path with late-night calls and constant pressure stops fitting real life and you decide to jump anyway. We get into the full pivot: how her love of interiors started early, why the business began with real estate development, and how Whitefish, Montana became the springboard for luxury ski-home investing. Alissa breaks down what she actually looks for in a smart investment property, why seasonality matters for a short-term rental, and how to think about cap rate and operating costs without getting lost in jargon. Then we zoom into the human side of interior design and entrepreneurship. Alissa shares what a premium design process looks like, how she learns the truth of how a family lives, and why “work-life balance” isn’t the goal. We talk harmony, trade-offs, failure, celebration, and the kind of mom mornings that include potty-training emergencies and gorilla glue on every door handle. If you’re building a business, considering real estate investing, or craving a career that feels more like you, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s on the edge of a leap, and leave a review with the biggest trade-off you’re navigating right now.

Ep. 97 with Molly Sandborn | The Cheeseball Chick

Cheese Balls And Grit A giant orange cheese ball backpack sounds like a joke until it becomes the most unexpected doorway into real conversations about faith, pain, and purpose. I’m sitting down with speaker, author, and social creator Molly Sanborn, also known as the Cheeseball Chick, to talk about what happens when God uses ordinary humor to do extraordinary work. We unpack Molly’s path from early entrepreneurship and a chaotic coffee shop season to decades of public speaking and ministry. Molly shares how her faith became real in middle school, how comparison nearly stole her joy as a young mom, and why her book Cheese Balls for Jesus still connects with people who need encouragement that feels human. We also get honest about social media and motherhood: TikTok growth, authenticity, boundaries, and the real questions parents ask about posting kids online. Then the story turns sobering and powerful. Molly walks us through open heart surgery, complications, and the long recovery that followed, including the role of prayer, community support, and the peace that shows up when you cannot explain it. We talk about Whatever You Do Ministries, living on support, choosing family-first priorities, and why Molly’s message now centers on one line: if you have a pulse, you have a purpose. Subscribe for more conversations on faith and real life, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more women can find these stories.
