  We've been through colossal change collectively this last year. So when I saw the research by EvolveMKD, I knew I needed to share it on the podcast. They found a strong link between communication and mental health in women, and some of it flies in the face of the idea that we are better communicators.   In this episode, I share some of the key findings, the different styles of communication women have and how each type of person is impacted differently in terms of mental health. This aspect of the study is helpful for connecting with your clients via social media, language on sales pages and offers, how we choose to connect in-person, and the potential big wins around live events and retreats.   Key points from the study: Of the Americans who reported a change in their mental health, more said it worsened during COVID-19 than in the last 10 years:    Women are more impacted by those around them than men - 69% let other people's emotions affect their own   75% of women said their mental health was negativel

Dr. Karen Osburn and I talk about the health and wellness company we joined and the fantastic compensation plan that fueled us with hope and excitement for our future.    We discuss the main reasons we think it's a huge opportunity for women looking to build a flexible business with extremely high-income potential. We share some of our disappointing experiences with other companies and why this one is different.   Here's why this company is so appealing for moms and people seeking significant opportunities to boost their income and change their lives.

I interviewed Judy Giovangelo, energy worker, healer, artist, and founder of Ben Speaks, her non-profit raising awareness for highly sensitive kids who are at risk for self-harm and suicide.   Judy lost her son Ben to suicide when he was just 18. She and Ben made heroic progress over his 18 years and learned ways for him to cope with all the energy and emotions he absorbed like a sponge.   Her mission is to expand on that work, to be a buoy for families and siblings impacted by and managing a mental illness.   She works with kids to help them manage their energy and sensitivity to others, equips them with powerful tools to navigate life and relationships in a more grounded peaceful way.   Judy also works with parents who’ve experienced loss as a grief counselor.   After what we’ve been through this year, struggling to stay mentally healthy, I’m happy to share her wisdom and will do what I can to give this as much exposure as I can.  

Mother's Day is a tricky time of the year. We take time time to reflect on our mother-daughter relationships. And it's also a time to celebrate the love of all mothers in the world. This year, Caroline Nadine Helsing can celebrate by knowing her book about her mom came to life. She captured the essence of her mom by writing a memoir, a beautiful tribute to her mother's unapologetic love for glamour and fabulousness in all things. Many moms I know are deep in grief this time of year because they lost a child, a mother, a mother figure, an unborn child. There's so much attached to this holiday, so I wanted to share your thoughts along with my interview with Caroline.   I asked you to leave a message about motherhood, your mom, what you've learned as a mother, what your mom taught you, and anything you want to throw in about this past year and you did! Thank you!!   I have a handful of lovely mamas who contributed their thoughts, and I'm including them below.    Also, the mic is open on both TheAuda

Lots of us are totally fine with our podcast website and we don't give a second thought. On the other hand, there are plenty who dream of a better website but don't think they can afford it.

The Clubhouse app isn't exactly new, but it does seem to be catching on, and maybe you've heard about it for a while, but you haven't felt compelled to jump in. Or perhaps you want to stay the course and avoid yet another social media.   I get it! Time is scarce, and the question of whether it's worth jumping to another platform is legit.   Here I explain some of the pros and cons of this compelling new platform and the basics of how it works.   If you're looking to feel more connected from time to time, is it THE BEST way to create high-value connections and partnerships quickly? It's an intimate platform, so there's a lot less posturing and more GENUINE relationships.   If you're looking for free learning and mentorship, ways to connect with angel investors, get brand deals, or connect and become a better speaker or a full-blown influencer in a new arena, this platform has it all.   Plus, they're rolling out their Creator First program, and you could have support for your own show with sponsorship or with

Laurie Wright is an example of patient persistence and going with the flow when inspired. Laurie shares her inspiration to write her first book and the many years that passed before she had the courage and time as a busy mom to dive and do something with it. This interview is timely because Laurie's books are all about supporting kids, something all ours need in this time of quarantine. Many moms are home and out of work, not by choice, and looking for motivation to pursue an idea or passion, especially one that can bring in more income. I want to share this episode to show you what's possible for you. In this episode, we cover... What inspired Laurie to write her first book How long it took and the circumstances that led to her revisiting her book and deciding to get it published What's the investment for getting a children's book published Common challenges and mindset issues for people getting their book off the ground Laurie's bulk book orders on Amazon Her husband becoming co-owner of the business and

Emma Ferrick embodies all things this podcast stands for. She's a young mother who survived a dangerous domestic violence relationship and found the support and internal strength to reach for a better life when many in her condition would be paralyzed by fear. Her reality was a catalyst for extreme growth and pursuit of career goals that liberated her from her day job, allowing her to be with her daughter while growing her business.    What gave her the edge and helped her push through this extreme situation. Emma shares her story here.   What stands out for her success surviving this situation and thriving as a mompreneur. Emma had an aunt who experienced abuse with a partner, so she understood what it was. Emma had a family member who "got it" and could lend emotional support and perspective. Often all it takes is ONE person who understands to help us get through and come out the other side with hope. Find that one person! She allowed her abuser's mother to see her physical condition after she was attack

We've never before been in a time like this. Life is a giant rollercoaster, and events are intense and changing rapidly. The mental and emotional toll of all of it has put us in a place we've never experienced before. Never before have I seen the need to be hyper-aware of my mindset, energy, consciousness. And when I fail to stay conscious, I slip into a dark place. I'm emerging from a dark place with optimism sharing my thoughts on why all of us need to be aware of our energy and consciousness. I'll be spending more time covering this on the podcast. Also, my thoughts supporting women and moms focused on expanding our economic freedom via entrepreneurial pursuits. So if you have a side hustle in mind or are keen to build, start, or grow your business, stay tuned. I have some fantastic interviews set up with women who offer value in getting your business set up and structured correctly for efficiency, simplicity, and the least amount of effort. Simplify, simplify!! That's my new motto and how we can work to

In September of 2020, a reported 865K women left the workforce in the US. Many of these women are caregivers and moms who felt they had no choice but to step away from work to keep their children's education on track and keep their family intact. In this episode, I share some stats, helpful resources I've found for you to gain support, learn skills, and gain hope for starting over with the flexibility to care for yourself and your family.   The pressure on parents is off the charts right now, but the burden on women is far more significant as we fill the role of primary caregiver and often earn less than our male partners. America was not, is not, prepared to support working parents. We cannot send our children to school for a full day, and many child care centers have reduced service or shut down completely. And given the pandemic's precautions, it's that much more difficult and expensive to hire a qualified, healthy caregiver, babysitter, or nanny to support us at home.   Resources for women and moms sear

Authors and speakers have the benefit of having excellent content under their belt and as communicators their messaging is clear. All of this lends itself naturally to podcasting.  So if you're an author looking to expand your audience and you haven't explored highly targeted podcast appearances, you need to listen to this episode. You have a distinct advantage on podcasts and it's a no-cost way to get your message around your book and expertise out to new audiences who are already thirsty for what you're offering. In this episode, I explore the benefits of podcasting for authors as well as specific ways you can repurpose your content and podcast appearances to get more reach and spend less time coming up with social media content.   Mentioned in this episode...

Moms in business often search for other successful moms and women in biz who've created something special that resonates with their own ideals and dreams. We see her as a symbol. If she can do it, why not me? But..it takes a while to find that person who reflects the qualities you connect with including thinking BIG and achieving something more substantial with meaning. Greta Bajrami is that rare find. Greta is the Owner and Founder of Golden Group Construction. She started the company at just 21 years old while still attending Worcester State University. And nothing in Greta's upbringing or early adult life hinted that she would step into a male-dominated industry as a young mom and fresh college grad. She hustled her days in college and nights she learned customer service waiting tables at Legal Seafoods. But when she and her husband Freddy sparked an idea for the roofing industry, they shared a big vision and went for it. Together they built a trustworthy company built on integrity, a high level of perso

  I'm happy to share this interview with Amy Goober as she represents two massive opportunities for us as women and entrepreneurs.

In this episode, I interview Justin Schenck, Entrepreneur and Beloved  Host of the Growth Now Movement podcast. Justin is interested in inspiring personal growth and shining the spotlight on those who've overcome major challenges and adversity. And how to lead and help others but sharing how NOT to make the same mistakes you have. We have a unique opportunity to tap into podcasting right now mamas! Justin shares why podcasting is so powerful and the fact that there's a need for women to share their voice and perspectives. There are very few female podcasters and possibly even fewer female podcast guests. I know, it sounds crazy but it's true. If 100K podcasts are launched in a single month, imagine how many podcasts you can potentially pitch yourself to and start getting more exposure for your business, your mission, or your personal brand.

I'm so proud of this interview with Leah Carey, Host of Good Girls Talk About Sex and Sexual Communication Coach. She's an incredibly articulate and sensitive interviewer who gives women the opportunity to share their intimate thoughts and experiences related to sex. Her show is a guilty pleasure and a window into women's minds and sexual behavior. We discuss coming of age in an emotionally abusive relationship and how that impacted Carey's perspective on sex, her sexual choices, and shut her down from the experience of pleasure and voicing her desires. On the upside she's made this her career now and is sex positive - emphasizing communication for partners so everyone expresses their needs, has them met, and enjoys sex - that's the goal anyway.
