Women's Health Expert: Doctors Told Women This Was Normal (They Were Wrong!) with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi

Trusted advocate for women's health, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, explains PCOS/PMOS, endometriosis, infertility, breast cancer risk, GLP-1s and why women’s health symptoms are still being missed! “You’re fine.” “It’s normal.” “It’s probably stress.” That is what women are told when pain, irregular periods, and fertility struggles start quietly taking over their lives… Dr. Aliabadi breaks down the conditions women are most often dismissed for, explains what is actually happening in the body, and empowers women to ask better questions when something still does not feel right. She also shares the breast cancer risk information every woman should know, what GLP-1s may mean for hormonal health, and why she founded Ovii to help women connect the dots between their hormones, metabolism, mood, energy and overall wellbeing. ------------------------ Disclaimer: This episode discusses women’s health topics, including fertility, medical screening, and treatment options.

Molly Sims: I Made My Own Money So No Man Could Ever Choose For Me!

Model, presenter and YSE Beauty founder, Molly Sims,  joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk Sports Illustrated, freezing embryos, prenups, anti-aging, and why women should never settle for less than the life they actually want.

After years of showing up, she went on to land Vogue Paris, Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated - proving that sometimes the “no” is just the beginning of the next “yes”!  Molly also opens up about the fertility decision she made before it was mainstream, the money lessons her mother taught her, and why she built YSE Beauty for women who wanted clinical skincare that actually worked without making them feel old.  Get unselfish access to the insights that will help you own the room.

Hayley Paige: What I Wish I Knew Before My Name Became The Brand (it almost cost me everything)

Wedding dress designer Hayley Paige sits down with Maggie Sellers Reum to talk about contributing to a $220M bridal brand, that challenged her identity, and her fight to win back the right to use her own name! Before Hayley became one of bridal fashion’s most recognisable names, she was a young designer signing what looked like her dream contract. Years later, that same opportunity turned into a legal battle that left her unable to use her own name commercially, forced her to hand over her social media passwords, and stripped her of the identity she had spent years building. Hayley opens up about the contract mistake she wishes more women understood, why she paid $263,000 to buy back her name and IP, and how money gave her the freedom to escape one of the hardest chapters of her life!  They also get into modern wedding trends, Gen Z brides, Vogue weddings, coloured dresses, Taylor Swift’s dream dress, and the Bad Bunny Super Bowl bride moment.

Tezza Barton joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk about building the TEZZA app, Instagram photo editing, creator culture, and turning a launch she nearly deleted into a $2.5M first year win!  Before Tezza became the app every cool girl, creator and brand had on their phone, she was selling Lightroom presets, building failed businesses with her husband, and trying to move out of their 250-square-foot apartment… Tezza tells Maggie about the brutal app launch, the reviews that made her want to delete it all, and the pivot that turned the backlash into a real business. They also get into Tezza’s rules for the perfect Instagram photo, what makes a photo dump actually work, and how her obsession with taste turned the TEZZA app into something bigger than her personal brand.
