Women are told that we get to have it all; but what happens when our “all" doesn’t align with what society says is enough? The Fuck IT ALL™ podcast is an exploration, conversation and love letter to the brave women who are intentionally redefining what it means to have it all.

Don’t worry, there’s a lot more FIA coming your way...

In the meantime, let’s welcome back Anastasia Simon for a special IRL edition of the FIA Podcast. Aside from being one of our most beloved guests on the show, she is the living embodiment of FIA energy using her positions of power and influence to challenge and change one of the most known toxic environments out there: startup hustle meets hypercapitalism.

Hit play to listen along as Anastasia recounts her first-hand experiences on the cost of capitalism; and what it might mean to flip the script from the inside-out, emphasizing that you don't have to be a hyper-capitalist to thrive in a capitalist society.

But that's not all – Anastasia dives into the importance of checking biases, even if they're against Gemini men (sigh). She proudly embraces her authenticity, in the workplace and everywhere she goes, ever since she was influenced by her friend Peppers who inspired her to cut her hair and be her most genuine self.

Join us for an episode filled with unfiltered wisdom, entrepreneurial insights, and a healthy dose of FIA energy. Anastasia Simon takes us on a journey of recentering, balancing work with the desire for unlimited vacations, and challenging the status quo (or as our friend KT recently coined, startup bro) in the startup world.

We invite you to pour some bubbles, and join us in a virtual cheers to 2023, this iteration of the Fuck IT ALL ™, and all that awaits in the year ahead.

Sending big love from Kacie, Katie and every FIA woman who's been walking with us on this journey. We’re just getting started.

Say Hi to Anastasia Simon, and make sure you SUBSCRIBE to get IT ALL in your inbox, because BIG news coming Jan 2024.

]]> IT ALL Media Buzzsprout-14143867 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:00:00 -0500 1414 6 89 full false Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors with Erica Rooney Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors with Erica Rooney Glass Ceilings? Yep, got it. Sticky Floors? Now, that’s something new. Say more.

Meet Erica Rooney - keynote speaker, author, executive coach, work and culture expert, mother, executive, podcaster, and overall relatable FIA woman. 

Erica’s work brings her face-to-face with the proverbial glass ceiling daily, yet it was her own lived and learned experiences that helped her understand that no matter how much you push against it, if you’re being held down by your own sticky floors, you’re going to stay exactly where you’ve always been.

Why do we love this conversation and ah-ha so much? Because it’s not just about doing the work on ourselves, but recognizing, naming, and understanding the systemic shortcomings of our work, family, and community systems - deeply rooted in gender bias and intersectional “isms.” (race, age, sex, etc.)

The parallels of Erica’s work in the professional sphere are mirrored in her own home life, where Erica and Kacie talk about the complexities and nuances that come with raising different gendered children side-by-side; and how our biases start the moment we come out of the womb. Motherhood and raising children was a catalyst for both women to reflect on their perpetuation of hustle culture, and ask the question - what do we want our kids’ world to look like? 

Sobering and motivating - for parents, and those of us who are child-free, too. This is much more a conversation and reflection on just how deeply ingrained these biases are, even amongst the most ‘well-intentioned.’

This episode is a series of one thought-provoking nugget after the other. Small mic drops, and big ah-has that are best digested slowly. We recommend pausing as you go along, reflecting on your own opinions, feelings, thoughts; and most importantly, how you will take these revelations to not only dream - but plot - against what you’ll bring to life in the new year. 

Enjoy.

]]> IT ALL Media Buzzsprout-14056259 Wed, 29 Nov 2023 10:00:00 -0500 2251 6 88 full true Be as Big as You Are with Michelle Khouri Be as Big as You Are with Michelle Khouri Settle in and get ready to enjoy an intimate 1:1 with master storyteller and Queen of Audio herself - Michelle Khouri. Michelle’s work - from entrepreneur and trailblazer to fellow modern woman living in this moment in time - is to change the world through the power of sound.


We recently heard, “When we change what power sounds like, we change who has it.” (Samara Bay, Permission to Speak) No one understands that better than Michelle, and it’s why she became one of our very first calls when we started the FIA Podcast 3 years ago.


Audio was our chosen medium at the time, because since the beginning of time, what women have to say is qualified by how we look and show up. Removing the physical barrier of having to show up ‘perfect,’ and instead letting our voices tell our stories felt revolutionary, and like an act of defiance and activism in itself.


Thanks, Michelle, for the inspiration and believing eyes from day one. Michelle’s mantra, "Be as big as you are," is her rallying cry for women everywhere - a reminder that we're never told to embrace our full potential, to be unapologetically big in our ambitions and dreams; not to mention the physical space we occupy.


Michelle’s journey has been marked by a quest to balance both the masculine and feminine energies within herself. This pursuit hasn't always been easy, and it has angered - like viscerally, screaming, crying, throwing up angered -  those discomforted by her boldness. And through it all, she stands firm in her belief that there's no judgment in seeking harmony within yourself. You can begin to see why we love her so damn much.


Michelle advocates for taking small steps to enact profound change. This is especially true as we delve into the overwhelming societal pressure to want it all, particularly as it relates to marriage, children, and suburban living. 


It was her own ah-ha that she was exhausting herself with trying to be small, that she chose a different path. She started listening to her own energies and honoring her intuition, even if it meant making unconventional choices. YAAAAS.


In this week’s episode, Michelle shares that she learned the importance of tending to wounds, addressing trauma, and truly understanding who she is and what she wants. #EveryoneShouldGoToTherapy. She talks about the value of not over-identifying with external markers of power, and finding strength in knowing oneself beyond oppressive societal expectations.

Today we have an incredibly inspiring guest who is disrupting the political world with her kickass group of highly informed citizens, Han Pham! Han is the Executive Director at Her Term. Her Term is a Georgia-based (woo!) initiative that focuses on using collaboration to elect women into office. They target winnable seats, recruit more women leaders to run for office, and equip their campaigns to win. And they have! They’ve been winning! ISN’T THAT INCREDIBLE?!

Before Her Term, Han was a force in the legal and startup world. But it was during her time in the corporate world that she had an eye-opening moment. She realized she was fighting for recognition, in the annoying way you fight for a parking spot 🙄. AND, all the while trying to climb the corporate ladder and collect those often empty “perks” management loves to dangle in front of employees. Once she realized she didn't really need the perks and she didn’t really want to fight so hard for this, she woke up and had an FIA moment. F*ck yeah! 

During a sudden, and unjust BTW, restructuring, Han turned lemons into lemonade and took a stand for what she deserved. She negotiated an invaluable PAID year of dedicated time with her new baby, used any free time as a period of growth, and reflection that ultimately shaped her path to fight for what was right in politics. Even though she had multiple offers waiting for her in her industry, Han decided that she wanted something more, something that aligned with her passion for making a meaningful impact. That's when she joined Her Term, and from there, she quickly rose to become Executive Director in 2022.

At Her Term, they're not just about winning elections. They're about encouraging candidates to keep pushing forward, no matter the outcome. It's about recognizing the significance of the journey, win or lose, and the profound impact it has on the community. 

Her Term's impact in turning Georgia blue is a testament to the collective effort and determination they bring to the table. And it's not just about politics; they provide crucial therapy for their candidates, recognizing the emotional toll that the binary nature of politics can take. It has us thinking about what politics would look like if this were a required service for every public servant?

Listen to Han's incredible journey to hear more about her resilience, empowerment, and her unwavering belief in the power of women's voices. 

You don't want to miss it! AND, for all our Atlanta/Georgia friends, we invite you to support Her Term’s mission to bring more women into office as a part of the Can’t Wait Fundraiser on November 2nd. We are thrilled to be official partners and sponsors for this event, AND hope to see as many of you as possible there!

Can’t join, but still want to support? Consider donating whatever you can towards Her Term’s efforts - we personally love a monthly $50 contribution.

Hit play, get inspired, get involved.

Cue today’s conversation with Barbara Brooks, Founder of Second Act Women, for that in spades. Enjoy. 


Today’s main objective: celebrate and honor the POWER of middlesence, shattering harmful (and frankly BS) age-related stereotypes and embrace the beauty that comes with every phase of life ✨


Right now - ⅛ of the global population are experiencing menopause, while simultaneously controlling 1/10 of the global spending power. And, STILL, the majority feel overlooked, unheard, and undervalued by society.


We're addressing ageism and ableism - the two isms that can affect us at any point in our lifetime. Middlesent women often find themselves excluded from so many aspects of life, including from the job market. But, with the help of this week’s guest, Barbara Books, we're here to encourage them to take charge of their own economic power. Starting their own businesses, building their own networks, and creating their own universes is not only possible but empowering 💪🏼


And now, let's talk about the pressure to reverse aging! It's time to say no to the anti-aging routines and simply embrace our age. After all, aging gracefully means embracing all aspects of life, from the joys to the challenges.


Join us as we celebrate the second act of these incredible women and work to undo all the unnecessary pressures that women in middlesence have to face. In this week's episode, we talk about letting go of anti-aging rhetoric, how to manage menopause symptoms when you haven’t been taught how to, and how to create sustainable intergenerational workplace relationships. 


Remember, you're not alone in this. Feel what you need to feel and embrace every moment of this beautiful life. Let's redefine what it means to be middlesence together!

Welcome to today's episode of the Fuck It All Podcast where we dive deep into stories of empowerment and breaking stigmas. We are BEYOND excited to share this week’s incredible guest with you.

This week on the podcast we have the remarkable Imani Wilson Shabazz of Plan C Pills redefining what it means to be a sex-positive person and an advocate for reproductive rights all over the country. Her MO? She's all about open conversations and healthy education. 

Imani grew up in the South, facing some tough challenges due to teen pregnancy stigma in the zeitgeist which was juxtaposed by her sex-positive mom educating her on all things informed sex. In the end, momma bear won (woohoo!) and Imani grew up to be a sex-positive empowered woman with sexual literacy as her weapon of choice. Huzzah! 

Now, let's dive into the details. Imani is a graduate student at Temple University, pursuing a Ph.D. in Social and Behavioral Sciences. With an MPH from UCLA in Community Health Sciences, she's a powerhouse in the field. Imani's also a vital part of Plan C, working as a Partnerships and Engagement Consultant. She's all about creating community partnerships to raise awareness about abortion pill access nationwide. Basically, she’s advocating for us when our own Supreme Court won’t! 

Imani's research is nothing short of groundbreaking! She's focused on comprehensive sex education reform, advocating for reproductive justice policies, and championing community-based birthing practices that prioritize the well-being of queer individuals of color.

]]> Hey hey, amazing listeners! Welcome to today's episode of the Fuck It All Podcast where we dive deep into stories of empowerment and breaking stigmas. We are BEYOND excited to share this week’s incredible guest with you.

This week on the podcast we have the remarkable Imani Wilson Shabazz of Plan C Pills redefining what it means to be a sex-positive person and an advocate for reproductive rights all over the country. Her MO? She's all about open conversations and healthy education. 

Imani grew up in the South, facing some tough challenges due to teen pregnancy stigma in the zeitgeist which was juxtaposed by her sex-positive mom educating her on all things informed sex. In the end, momma bear won (woohoo!) and Imani grew up to be a sex-positive empowered woman with sexual literacy as her weapon of choice. Huzzah! 

Now, let's dive into the details. Imani is a graduate student at Temple University, pursuing a Ph.D. in Social and Behavioral Sciences. With an MPH from UCLA in Community Health Sciences, she's a powerhouse in the field. Imani's also a vital part of Plan C, working as a Partnerships and Engagement Consultant. She's all about creating community partnerships to raise awareness about abortion pill access nationwide. Basically, she’s advocating for us when our own Supreme Court won’t! 

Imani's research is nothing short of groundbreaking! She's focused on comprehensive sex education reform, advocating for reproductive justice policies, and championing community-based birthing practices that prioritize the well-being of queer individuals of color.

This episode is filled with stories of resilience, education, and advocacy. It's a reminder that no matter where you come from, you have the power to shape your narrative. So, let's embrace empowerment together! Keep shining, keep learning, and keep fighting for what's right!

It’s time to (drum roll): 💦HAVE 👏 BETTER 👏 SEX💦!


As an extension of a large activation we did together earlier this year, consider this your own front-row seat to the live conversations we recorded with the inimitable Jenny Dwork, Lauren Gregory, and Michelle H. Sexpert. 


Through their work, each of these trailblazing women - and their companies - are changing the game in sex education, healthcare, and media to make sure that not only do we have the information we need, but also are free of the shame and taboo that is so deeply ingrained in the subject matter.


Tune in this week to hear how Jenny Dwork went from TV Producer to sex-ed brand builder, why Lauren Gregory started making specialized menstrual products, and how Michelle became a dedicated sexologist and activist.


New episodes drop today, tomorrow, and Friday - just in time for weekend listening.


“I am born and bred of the witches you could not burn.”


Yep, Michelle is bringing total Friday energy and is the perfect conversation to round out our 3-part Have Better Sex series with fellow trailblazers, Wisp and Her Poppy.


Meet Michelle H. Sexpert - a dedicated Sexologist, educator, and activist revolutionizing the sex education space through individual coaching to reform at the highest levels of government.


Michelle advocates that from cradle to grave, sexuality is ingrained in every part of our existence. And, after this conversation, I have to say - she not wrong! What we can promise: laughs, tears, and probably some perspective-shifting truths that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.

You know what fucking sucks? Being in pain and not being believed. Cue too many women out there nodding their heads, saying, “Yep, that’s me!”


Meet Lauren Gregory - founder & CEO at Her Poppy - a menstrual health company helping women+ experience healthier menstrual cycles. FYI - that doesn’t just mean you period. Don’t feel bad, this was news to us, too!


Lauren took pain into her own hands in 2019 when she founded the company in pursuit of solving painful periods, and also wanting to use cleaner, natural ingredients both in and on her body.


What we love about Lauren is that her entire mission is to help us feel more at home and in our power INSIDE THE BODIES WE ALREADY OCCUPY! This conversation not only spans Lauren’s own experience with self-advocacy and discovery as a woman of color inside the healthcare system, but also how she channeled pain into power transforming the menstrual health space through products, education, and activism ✊.

Have Better Sex: A Conversation with Wisp’s Jenny Dwork

Have better sex? Yes, please!


What starts as a conversation with the #1 provider of women’s sexual healthcare, turns into an intimate look at one of the key women behind the brand.


Jenny Dwork has arguably one of the most challenging and coolest jobs out there - making vaginas healthier AND changing the world while doing it. OK, girl, we see you.


Things we love about Jenny & Wisp:

  1. In the wake of the overturn of Roe V. Wade, they became the largest provider of pill-based abortion in all 50 states.


  2. Jenny has had more than just a few fuck it all moments, and we go through every twist and turn from breakups to mental health, career changes to being $200K in debt. Relatable AF.


  3. Wisp is challenging the advertising policies at every turn, removing stigma around sexual health, to put healthy vaginas front and center (literally, check out their Time Square takeover!)


  4. Got a common vaginal issue like UTIs or BV? You can have a prescription in < 3 hours without ever leaving your home. *fan girls*


Hit play to learn more about our partners over at Wisp, and get to know Jenny Dwork - a dear friend and total FIA woman.

Cue Anna Maltby Patil. It felt like the proverbial rug was pulled out from under her when her lifelong career working with chic magazines suddenly went from boss babe status to a COVID-induced recession reality check. Cut to her being unexpectedly let go and offered a buyout. That was the start of Anna’s FIA moment…

(Let’s rewind.) Anna Maltby was the Executive Editor of Elemental, a Medium publication, and helped lead the health and wellness publication through the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, she was working with incredible journalists and world-renowned scientists to bring essential information to the masses; however, the emotional and traumatic nature of the subject matter made the pace and work - well, to say the least - taxing. 

(Okay, we’re caught up.) With the buyout offer, came her FIA moment - cut to some rage, a lot of sadness, a rush of gratitude, and exhaustion! (Yep, everything everywhere all at once. 💥) This fueled her desire to look for something new and fulfilling. She wanted freedom and flexibility but didn’t know where to find it. Until that is, Anna chose to embrace the moment, the privilege of space, and start searching for a less emotionally exhausting way of life. 

Listen to this week’s episode to hear how this career tale ends and a new one begins. They say it really is about the journey... and Anna's leaves us feeling deeply seen and inspired. Press play!

And, after years of hard work, she does. While pursuing her dreams, Shannon took on many side jobs, went on countless auditions, and heard so many noes. But she never gave up (thank god!) It took a few years for her dream to take off. It turns out her dream was just waiting for the perfect platform - which ended up being TikTok! 


Shannon Fielder is a New York-based comedian, writer, and actress. In her work, she is proudly representing what she calls the female millennial demographic. Which obviously speaks to us on a religious level. 


As both a writer and a comedian, Shannon brings a fresh voice and levity to female millennial stereotypes. Her comedy offers a safe space for us as the audience to laugh at ourselves. Whether we are all the “girl from Midtown who goes on a date” or we all have all ruined the holidays by arguing with “the worst relatives on Thanksgiving,” you’re bound to find some reason to laugh and enjoy the little things in life again. 


In this episode, Shannon shares her journey as a creative, how she overcame all the obstacles in her way, and how a stand-up class ended up being her FIA moment and kick-started her pursuit to become a standup comedian.

Sara has many mighty titles and accolades, as she is a life force in her family and amongst her friends, community, and workplace. Real talk, we can’t say enough about this truly inspiring, in her power FIA woman. And lately, she’s rockin a shiny new nameplate that reads “Mama.”


After stepping into motherhood, Sara sits down with Kacie Lett Gordon to give us a run down on all things postpartum. BTW listen for Baby Will's sounds, as he joined our conversation - with a front-row seat in Sara’s arms. 💪 #reallife #modernwomanhood


In the last year and a half, Sara has gone through a transformation and tells us in this quick convo why motherhood has changed her life for the better. She reflects deeply on her relationships, career, and life and why this new chapter in her life is the best one yet (Yayyyy!!!).

That was 401 days ago.

Using what she had - a computer, a phone, and a shit-ton of tulips - she turned a moment into a movement. Hit play to hear Khrystyna’s story, and why adapting isn’t the goal - but rather building systems that don’t force us to adapt is where real change happens.

If you haven’t guessed it already, we fucking love this woman. On Monday, April 4, 2023, Katie and Kacie will join the conversation at the first-ever Brave2Bloom global women’s entrepreneurship conference.

Khrystyna finds herself stuck in another country, sadly desensitized by air raids, locating a shelter for the office cat, and pivoting her business to something beyond her wildest dreams. She is an FIA woman using her pain, displacement, and first-hand experience with war and grief to encourage and empower an entire wave of women to take themselves seriously and act on the dream that calls to them.

Khrystyna Didukh is an entrepreneur, troubleshooter, consultant, mentor of Board Business, and founder of LYSTVA - the most technological flower company in Ukraine. She is also the creator of the BRAVE2BLOOM CONFERENCE, an ambassador of entrepreneurship ideas, an e-resident in Estonia, and is a volunteer.

You’re doing everything right (or so you think) and out of nowhere, you’re thrown a curveball. And this curveball always comes at the absolute WORST moment. (Ugh, giving me running into your ex while wearing yesterday’s sweats vibes.😒)


So, what do you do? You keep going. There’s not always a clear answer on how to keep going or what’s the “next right thing” (cue Frozen 2 Soundtrack) to do at that moment. But we - always - find a way. 


This week, Melissa Heffner tells us exactly how she found her way amidst the chaos. Melissa is a wife, a mother, and a change-maker inside a traditional institution. As the Program Director at the Georgia Institute of Technology, she spends the workday creating programs centered around entrepreneurship and the Lean Startup methodology. Melissa is a true FIA woman! (Hmmm, there is a cape laying around here somewhere.)


On this rainy day of recording, Melissa sits down with KLG to discuss her turbulent pregnancy journey, her experience with therapy, and how when she felt like saying FIA (the table flipping kind - oh, you know the one) she got some good advice to first “work on herself.”

After around six months, I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders (Like do you even lift bro?!) I felt completely overworked and stretched way too thin.  


And I know other mothers feel this way. Believe me, I asked! We were all experiencing the same thing, and we were all being asked to explain it at work and at home, but we didn’t have a name for it. Until now.


Meet Lauren Smith Brody, the woman who gave this feeling a name and a plan on how to address it. Lauren is a journalist, editor, entrepreneur, and author of her latest book The Fifth Trimester: The Working Mom's Guide to Style, Sanity, and Big Success After Baby. Based on interviews with over 700 moms (!!!), The Fifth Trimester tackles every personal and professional issue you are probably dealing with, and the inspiration you need when and if you do head back to work. Lauren is the founder of The Fifth Trimester movement and consulting, which supports all working parents and caregivers to advance women’s leadership and drive economic growth. Yes, of course, I have her on speed dial!


Check out this week's episode to hear more about The Fifth Trimester and what we as parents can do to advocate for ourselves at home and in the workplace. Because you deserve it ✨

Like, all the way over. When FIA really means FIA, that usually means leaving absolutely everything you knew behind in favor of something much better. And we’re usually PUSHED into those moments. We are quite literally at our limits!


But what if you weren’t at your limit? What if you didn’t wait for a cataclysmic moment to kickstart your FIA moment? What if you gave yourself permission to start over just because you could? I know you’ve thought about it... 


Starting over just because you can is a lesson that Lupin Campos has been learning since she was a young woman. This inspiring woman is a designer, co-founder, entrepreneur, Director of Product Management, and much more. She has been all over the world, changed careers in favor of something far more interesting, and has stayed true to herself even when it was the hardest thing in the world to do. 


In this episode, I actually told her it’s amazing how well she knows herself and she said it's more like a gut feeling than really knowing herself. Lupin is just someone who is willing to take action and a master at following her heart. I hope this interview inspires you as much as it inspired me <3


Tune in this week to hear how Lupin Campos used the confidence she was taught to have to create her own FIA moments and launch her into her next adventure, over and over again.

Your job will work you as hard as it can and throw you to the side when it’s done, and it won’t even have the decency to feel bad about it! The nerve of them!


And if you’re anything like Margaret, you literally have to watch your position get dissolved before you recognize the terrible treatment you’ve endured. (Insert screams into the void here.) 


So, what’s next? What do you do when you’ve been worked to the bone, only to be tossed in the trash like last week's lunch? 


This is exactly what we tackle in this week's interview with Margaret Weniger. Margaret is a sales leader-turned-founder of the ultra-amazing Rising Tide podcast. She’s also a Gemini ♊️.


After facing extreme burnout, watching lay off after lay off affect her company, and eventually being laid off herself, Margaret decided to do something that terrified her: walk right on into the unfamiliar and create Rising Tide. 


The Rising Tide podcast was created with two purposes 1) to create exposure and 2) to build a community for the people who believe we need to change the business world. 


Tune in to this week’s episode to hear all about Margaret’s FIA moment and how she plans to shake up the business world with Rising Tide. Woo!

Our guest this week is none other than the amazing Twana Harris. Twanna’s work is known all over the city of Atlanta as well as all over the country. She is the founder of Tribal Good, a fellow Solopreneur, and an incredible friend. Her work focuses on connecting corporations with multi-hyphenate creatives. Which is basically the intersection of everything we know and love! 


As soon as Twanna agreed to come on the pod, I immediately knew what I would be naming this episode: 


“But why???” 


The phrase, “but why?” can get us in a lot of trouble (like A LOT of trouble). Asking ourselves why we do the things we do throws a monkey wrench into our usual path of complacency. We begin asking ourselves why we tolerate the intolerable. And what if we just didn’t tolerate it? What if we started searching for something better? 


The phrase “but why?” can be a catalyst for FIA moments. It disrupts everything we know and starts a kick-ass revolution in ourselves. It's a phrase that demands change, and we are the only ones who can make that change for ourselves. 


In this episode, Twanna and I discuss how to disrupt existing models, find solutions, and keep the movement going. Twanna is a firm believer in the idea that we have so many FIA moments in our lives we might as well call it an FIA movement. And I have to agree with her <3

AH!

If you don't already know her (and many of you do!) prepare to have your minds blown and mindset changed.

Meet Jen Mazer - THE Queen of Manifestation. 

Jen came to us amidst a relatively "low vibe" moment in time (OK, OK, we were losing our fucking minds!) And it was hearing her voice on another podcast that took us down the rabbit hole of some serious Internet stalking only to realize that she was right here in our backyard (not literally, we're not THAT good at manifesting... yet 😉) and so graciously agreed to join us on the show... and then later become our very own manifestation & business coach 📈 .

Working hard to get what you want is the myth, and we love this episode AND this woman so much, because through real experience and tangible practices she helps women transform mindsets, trust themselves, and ultimately get everything last thing they've ever wanted - just like that.

Here's to Manifesting Made Easy (yep, it's her book, we 10/10 recommend).

Sarah Penna is a digital media pioneer, serial entrepreneur, mom of 1 (90% OK with this choice at the time of the recording), wife to the one-time-number-6-most popular YouTube talent, and this week's FIA woman.

Sarah had a goal to build and sell a company before she turned 30. And, she did it with 15 days to spare, while also expecting her first (and only - more on that, too) child.She's the kind of woman you look at in awe, saying, "wow, does she have it all?"

Like anything, the answer is, "it depends."  This conversation spans ambition, the pressure of "peaking early," motherhood, mental health, reinvention, and why it's so important to have compassion for yourself every single day.

Noting that despite her top-tier education, she didn't truly understand finances or mental health until they both "broke." 

"Balance is a verb, not a noun," she says.  "We treat balance like we found it and it's under the couch. That's not real life, you know, balance and chaos have to coexist."

In her words, "I wanted to be a poet, and ultimately I became a writer, but not the kind I expected."

You matter. We love you. You are never alone.

There are some people you put on a pedestal you're whole life, but when you peak behind the curtain, you realize they're just as human, flawed, resilient, brave, terrified and amazing as you are.

That's this week's conversation - as KLG sits down with long time friend and mentor, Leah Peterson, to have what they describe as, "an honest, transparent conversation about mental health, learning how to live in the present, and giving up on the idea of "having it all."

Right off the bat, Leah says, "Yeah, well, because it doesn't exist. And I think the term having it all is really very hurtful, especially to women, because we can't have it all. And the second you remove that pressure, you realize you don't have to have it all. You can be so much more real with yourself, and so much happier once you remove that label."

Yep, this is the kind of BTS advice KLG has been getting for nearly a decade. You're welcome, people!

Alopecia - it's not life threatening, but it is life altering. Meet Leah Attruia - an otherwise healthy and thriving 39 year old woman who rapidly lost all her hair over the span of 3 weeks.

In our culture, women's health and beauty are synonymous; and almost always include a woman with long flowing locks to match. This conversation is a real take on Leah's experience - going from perfectly healthy mom of a toddler, to a woman hiding fistfuls of hair in a grocery bag while on vacation with friends.

Today, two years after the diagnosis, Leah is sharing her story of self discovery that came with losing her hair, being diagnosed with a life-altering disease, and how life has changed - for the better and worse - and why she wouldn't go back.

This episode demands to be consumed alongside a giant cup of coffee or tea - just that kind of feel good.

Meeting the team at Vella not only was a life-altering moment for our business, but for Katie & me personally. Buckle up, 'cause we're about to blow your minds with just a few of the podcast gems you'll hear in this episode:

  1. Vella is on a mission to close the orgasm/pleasure gap. Move over pay gap, 'cause you've got a new friend sitting atop our faves list.

  2. As women, we are ambitious in every area of our lives - career, community, relationships, motherhood, etc. - yet, when you ask a woman about her sex life, "Fine." is somehow an OK answer. *blank stare* "It me."

    *Clicks "purchase" with ITALLMEDIA promo code for 30% off and 100% more orgasms*

  3. In 2021, Vella created the first board-certified medical drawing of an aroused female vagina. *SHOUTING* IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE. IN 2021. LIKE HOW?!

    Male arousal has been documented since the beginning of time, hence why there are far more solutions on the market. The systemic exclusion of women's pleasure in science, health, wellness, and medicine is no longer a thing - thanks to Vella.

Just do it. I mean, fuck it.”

Meet this week's FIA guest, Robin Hauser - award-winning director & producer of documentary films (like $avvy, bias, and CODE: Debugging the Gender Gap) and - candidly - the inspiration we needed after the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship we've been on the past month.

$avvy - Robin's film that served as the catalyst for today's conversation - examines historical, cultural, and societal norms around women and money; and explores why it's critical for women to take an active role in managing personal finance.

And yet, as the conversation progressed, the catalyst was just the jumping off point to explore how financial autonomy translates to personal power, independence and freedom in almost every area of our lives.

Robin's "someday" came 20 years after her initial calling; and to everyone out there, she reminds us that the most important thing we can do is to make someday, right now. 'Cause as she says, "I mean, fuck it."

There ya have it - Robin Hauser. Listen here to her episode, learn more about how to screen her films at FinishLineFeatureFilms.com. And if you haven't already, go give us a follow on Insta and subscribe right here.

Meet Denayja Reese - author, producer, strategist, writer, host and FIA woman. This week the FIA Podcast went IRL - live audience, and all, OKKKK, - to talk with Denayja about her FIA moment(s), healing through grief, trauma, and addition, cultivating wellness, the radical act of sustainable and systemic self care (YES!), and how creativity and the power of story will change the world.

This conversation picks up after a live screening of Denayja's visual memoir, "Don't Hurt Yourself: A Visual Memoir Of Healing Through Grief, Trauma & Addiction." Her book and accompanying short film are the culmination and creative expression of her lived and learned experiences of healing following the abrupt and unexpected death of her mother at 18 years old.

Today we welcome one of the funniest, honest, beautiful and real women on Instagram. Linda Fruits is the founder of the content company and creator of the Instagram account @FruitsOfMotherhood that covers the sweet, sour, and sometimes rotten fruits that motherhood bears .

The catalyst for this ep was a post and blog Linda shared in August 2021, called, "Why my husband and I are calling it quits - even though we still love each other."

She says,"It took me 32 years to figure out what TikTok uncovered in a matter of minutes. I am attracted to women. Admitting that to myself was hard and then telling my husband was even harder...

Being attracted to the same sex never occurred to me until TikTok showed me a specific type of woman I had never really been exposed to before. And I felt something I had never felt before...

If you told me six months ago I would be writing this, I might've laughed in your face, but deep down inside, maybe I always knew it was coming. My content is not going to change. I'm still a mother who struggles every day, and my marriage jokes will also be the same since we're all living together under one roof...

My mission and everything I do is do bring acceptance to anyone who is feeling the same. All our differences and similarities make us who we are. This is who I am, and there is no changing it. Safe to say I'm even extra fruity now.

Here's to being fruity as hell, because as Linda says so beautifully, this coming out - it's more than sexuality, it's individuality.

For the women who have gone off script - we have two words for you - AUDREY MCLOGHLIN. 

We start the conversation talking through her resume - which albeit wildly impressive and inspiring - is the least interesting thing about this woman. Yes, Audrey has built two companies inspired by the everyday women out there rewriting the rules - specifically on creating a simple, in-powered work “uniform;” AND in 2020 achieved B Corp certification for her company Frank & Eileen with an industry leading impact score of 97.5 (second only to Patagonia, NBD).

BUT, what we love is her real, raw take on entrepreneurship. The struggle and power that came with leaving her marriage while 4 months pregnant with her daughter (fyi, she does not recommend this judo move for everyone). And, her pledge to give back $10M in 10 years to women-led businesses. THIS IS MATRIARCHAL MANAGEMENT.

Please note: this episode is best consumed standing in front of your mirror with a dry erase marker to write down your daily affirmations for the next forever months.

I’m so expectant for whatever comes next - it doesn’t mean there won’t be more sorrow, but I know there is a hell of a lot of joy.”

We meet Kelli in a reflective and honest conversation the year after, what she calls, the evolution of her 20+ year marriage to the father of her three children. The past two decades were spent building a family and a career; and now in her forties, she is on her own for the first time, honoring the duality of waking up in her bed alone - honoring the thrill and fear of knowing, “that your whole life is out there.”

She compares the past few years as a dark night of the soul, and in only a way that this brilliant, soulful woman can, puts words and perspective to what is arguably one of the most complex decisions we can face - the decision to evolve our family and end our marriage.

Kelli's magic is in her ability to process her own experiences, and also walk through women at all stages of life through her work with Balance Tribe (women's circles & retreats), and her nonprofit Root to Rise for young women 18-25. Both of which are on our short list of fave organizations out there.

Both of which are on our short list of fave organizations out there.

Alright, go hit play to hear about the power of an expectant spirit, and what’s next for this FIA women redefining ‘it all’ real-time.

Bringing her own personal lived and learned experience, as well as the work she does with women, we jump into a micro to macro conversation specifically aimed at dissecting how this moment in time has redefined how women work, and their uncompromising priority (hence the title of the EP) on raising the middle finger to everything as it used to be in our homes, workplaces, relationships, sisterhood, and most of all, within ourselves.

Real talk: I found myself wavering between, let's be best friends, but also will you be my personal therapist. 

LFG with Dr. Adia Gooden.

P.S. Major shoutout to Dr. Adia for hosting Katie & Kacie for their very own Unconditionally Worthy conversation which you can listen to right here.

Our 3 biggest lessons learned from the conversation that every woman person needs to hear are:

  1. Asking yourself are you buying into fear or are you buying into vision? There’s no right or wrong answer, but knowing where you are helps figure out all the rest.
  2. Options are a noun. Choice is a verb. 
  3. Knowing that ‘ready’ isn’t a feeling, it’s a decision.


Damn OKKKK.

When talking through what these mean for Tallia individually, as well as in her work, she shares a few exercises that we’ve carried with us this week, and invite you to do along with us (if you do, give us a tag on Insta @itallpodcast). 

Write a letter to fear. All fear wants is to be acknowledged. In this letter, you tell fear 3 things:

  1. Gratitude - I see and appreciate you. 
  2. Here is how you are getting in the way.
  3. What fear needs to hear to move aside; perhaps, “I’ve got this.”

When doing this exercise, Tallia also suggests asking and answering, “What are you clinging on to out of fear that nothing will take its place.” Said another way, is there a limiting belief or scarcity mindset at play that says you will never have more than you do right now?

Real talk: this one had us f*cked up for a few days.

Listen. And then listen again.

Is it stronger to stay in a difficult situation or within a system that doesn’t work for you, or is it stronger to leave and make that choice to find something better?” This is just one of the questions grappled with this week's FIA guest and Founder of Yoga Kinship, Dee Williams. 

Dee is a certified yoga and meditation instructor, mother and educator. She has been practicing yoga for several years but felt particularly driven during the pandemic to leave her role as a school teacher to provide healing, accessible and inclusive yoga to communities often overlooked and under-served. 

Dee tells us, “‘When I speak to people, they say yoga isn’t my thing!’ But when I poke further, I discover that most people have a very specific idea and image about what yoga is and what a yoga body looks like.” She asks us to get those images out of our heads! 

Dee challenges the idea of a “zen yogi.” She is unafraid to talk about all the ugly parts of life’s journey that enable us to truly know ourselves, stretching and strengthening both our bodies and minds. With quotes that will make you cry and laugh at the same time, like “We can all be healed. We’re all a mess!” Press play and enjoy the next 40 minutes. Namaste.

This is where we start with this week's guest, Jamie Lackey, on building a FIA mindset.

We knew we needed Jamie on the show for 2 reasons:
 
1. She's a woman helping women through individual support and systemic change (YES!)
AND
2. She is going through her own real-time reckoning of what it means to be a woman, mom, and CEO on the other side of seeing your big ass dreams come true. (SAY MORE!)

Jamie says one universal truth she knows to be true is, "Motherhood is hard." And, that's why she started Helping Mamas, a nonprofit dedicated to getting diapers and period products in the hands of moms and girls in need.

What started as a dream born from a social worker who saw a gap, has turned into a thriving business serving 60,000+ children and distributing over 2 million products (and counting). With realizing these big dreams of making the world a better place, comes the restlessness, pressure and insecurity of, "What's next?"
 
Jamie has had her share of FIA moments, and this conversation is her take on how those evolve into a FIA mindset. Like we said, "I did it once, I can do it again."  

Press play to listen, and then press donate to support Helping Mamas (FYI - we personally love being able to check off items of their Amazon Wishlist).

Why Not Everything with Kate Brewer Something Needs To Change? Why Not Everything with Kate Brewer Ever head down a path of should, should, should only to one day look up and ask, where am I? Or, even worse, who am I?

This is where we start with this week's FIA Podcast guest, Kate Brewer. When your driving force is to show the world - and yourself - that you can make it, what happens when all the shoulds don’t feel right? How do we overcome our own limiting belief that to change course - call a real-time audible - isn’t proof that we ‘couldn’t hack it’ but rather a sign that we are more than your shoulds?

Kate is a writer and director, and her documentary film, Knots: A Forced Marriage Story was the original catalyst for our conversation; telling these modern day stories of forced marriage in the US. Yet, as we went into her own story, it became about the journey in its entirety; and how sometimes leaving the place you should be can deliver you exactly where you are meant to be.

Kate was unhappily living and working in LA, in a marriage that was falling apart. She told herself, when something needs to change, maybe everything needs to change.

And, then it did. She traveled, pivoted her career, eventually remarried, and along the way found her truth. So much of Kate’s story had me remembering my own departure from the shoulds. And, realizing the ones I'm still living.

For anyone out there doing the most to prove to the world - or more importantly, yourself - Kate and I are here to tell you - stop proving, and start living. ‘Cause when you do, the world opens.

What a beautiful way to send off Season 3. I’ve learned so much, and these stories will propel us forward into what’s next.

Kate, keep telling stories - yours and the world’s. Thank you for using your voice, and living in your magic; it invites the rest of us to be brave enough to do the same.

Meet Gina Stogran - artist, community builder, and real-life practitioner of the FIA mindset. Gina is a 39-year-old artist, happily married and child-free, living in Florida, communing women around the power of art to change our lives.

Gina openly shares her experiences with anxiety, depression, significant loss and how healing is realizing, “you now have holes that you can’t fill ever again, so you learn to live with them.”

The idea of the holes - accepting the sometimes ugly realities of life for what they are, and how to heal with them - reverberated throughout our conversation. We talk openly about a calling to use art to change lives, the judgement she openly faces by choosing to not have a family, her frustration with expiration dates on women, and how, without creativity, the world would be a very dangerous place.

If walking in your power gives others the permission to do the same, then Gina, keep walking, babe. Here’s to owning our shit, and reclaiming our power.

Katie knows Kate from DC. Kate - now in Kiev - knows Kelsey from LA. Kelsey in LA is from Atlanta. WE ARE IN ATLANTA. What is this world?

Meet Kelsey Scott; or, maybe just get to know her better. Kelsey is two-time Emmy nominated actress, writer, teacher, speaker and philanthropist. 

In our 40-minute sit down we talk about the sacrifice required to pursue one's dreams; not just as an actor in LA, but for anyone bold enough to walk in their purpose. In a world that, as she says - has a short attention span and memory - the idea of "arriving" really isn't a thing. Whether you're fighting to break in, or fighting to stay relevant, it's all work - just a different kind.

Kelsey talks candidly, demystifying the two-dimensional glamour that is often synonymous with Hollywood. She says when she is at her best she is Deloris Scott's daughter. We talk about the lasting, daily impact her mom has on her life. My favorite line, "My mom said I could be whatever I wanted to be - and I believed her." That belief in herself, and in her mom, is why Kelsey has had an enduring career spanning decades as a working actor in television, film and theater.

Kelsey lives in a world of vulnerability that most of us only visit from time to time. This conversation is a peak into that world, and her wisdom on the power of staying there.

And, that was where our conversation started with DC-based chef and restauranteur Emily Baran. In losing her brother only a few years into "real life," she was catapulted into a three-year journey to answer the calling to create community and belonging through food.

Emily said good bye to the predictability of a stable government job, and instead pursued a career in food - one restaurant and one stepping stone at a time, until she would ultimately open NW-DC community staple, Moreland's Tavern.

Emily is an owner who is still working the line; she never expects more of her staff than what herself is willing to give. She took care of her family - at home and at work - during a pandemic that wrecked an entire industry.

She is a mom who has morning "chats" with her seven-year-old son, and is a boss that spends late nights running a kitchen, a restaurant and community hub that's the lifeblood of her NW DC neighborhood.

Emily shook her head when I asked her to be on the show, asking, "are you sure?" By the end, I think we were both nodding, "yeah, I'm sure."

Enjoy this brilliant chef, woman, mother, leader, and human.

Through our network of extraordinary women, we were connected with Sahar Salahi, a first-generation Afghan American, whose family fled Afghanistan in the 1980s. In a real-time, authentic, and raw conversation, she shares with us her story as well as her reaction and first-hand accounts she's receiving from family members in Afghanistan. 

The FIA podcast was created to amplify the voices of women and enable them to share their stories, experiences, and reactions in real-time, safe space. We are here to listen and bear witness in our mission to provide women with new narratives that invoke community, support, safety and validation.

We proudly stand with our Afghan sisters and will continue to amplify those voices that are helping us to understand, process, and act in order to show up for those who need it.

She left her high-power NYC job to raise a family in LA (by way of a NoCal suburb - whew!)

The reckoning then came with leaving her city, her job, and finding herself as a mom and a woman with a calling to tell stories. She would write 2 novels over 2 years before she would call herself a writer. 

As a 40th birthday present, she gives herself the gift of being a writer without apology or qualification. And, for her 50th, the gift of becoming a meditation teacher.

In both instances, she spent the days, months & years that would follow on a lifelong journey to being a world-class creative. Today, as a meditation teacher and writer, Trudi works to help people express themselves authentically in all realms. 

Finally, this episode is published in honor of Trudi’s mom - fellow creator, entrepreneur and inventor - who passed the week prior to publishing. From Trudi on whether to still go live “My mom was a MASSIVE self-promoter, in all the best ways, and she would be proud and would love all the empowering work you’re doing.”

In 22 minutes, you'll hear their friendship meet-cute, founder story, what it means to build differently, and just why they are so damn passionate about redefining the narratives and systems that run our lives - at work, at home, and in our communities.

Oh yeah, and don't miss your chance to become a Founding Member of the IT ALL Community - more on that over at itallmedia.co/join.

  1. We both are obsessed with helping women redefine and create their "it all;"
  2. AND we both can't follow a script to save our lives.

Minutes in, what we both thought would be a conversation about leaving our full time jobs to live our creative callings, turned into a candid talk about Elayne's decision to start a family at 48. We both gladly tossed the post-it notes to the side, and dug in.

Elayne Fluker is the author of the new book, Get Over I Got It, and the host of the wildly successful Support is Sexy Podcast. She has spent the past 10 years helping women entrepreneurs through coaching and storytelling, and is now sharing her brilliance with the rest of the world. Lucky us.

This conversation is one of those that you will consider a true before and after moment; prepare to learn lessons that are going to change your life. For me, they already have.

I find myself reciting, "get over I got it," or "support is sexy, Kacie!" I have told myself more than once over the past month since we recorded, "just live the question." All of which have made me feel empowered over defeated, and excited over anxious to ask for the help and space I need, instead of feeling like a failure for needing both.

This woman radiates joy; her energy is a warm glow that engulfs you and reminds us all that, "everything little thing is gonna be alright."

Our episode is nearly an hour, and it's worth every single minute.  I promise.

If you like what you hear here on the show, then I strongly recommend that you go pre-order Elayne's book coming out on May 11th (PRE-ORDER HERE) which was announced today as one of Essence Magazine's top picks for Mother's Day gifting - just sayin'!

I've got my copy already in the works. Maybe we'll have Elayne back on the show for a "book club" episode. I can't wait.

UM, OK, Becca!

Some of us RE-define our "it all," while others of us are bold enough to dream it up from the go. That's Becca Samson.

I sat down with this former Googler, who answered her own restless discontent for something more by saying goodbye to a beautiful life - job, home, family, community - in California to start anew in Amsterdam.

Becca credited a breakup as her catalyst to move halfway across the world, and maybe that's true; but the more she talked the more I could see - breakup or not - this woman was going to get what she wanted, how and when she wanted it. 

Becca shares her hacks for showing up consistently, doing one thing everyday towards your goals, and why the harder you work, the luckier you get. I loved that last line so much it became the headline title for our episode.

If you need a pick me up, attagirl, inspiration, or reminder of who TF you are, give Becca a listen. I found myself feeling like I was in church as she dropped gem after gem on how she created the life of her dreams.

KLG sits down with her sister Alli Carlson for a deep dive into topics that are as familiar as each other, and others that they've never covered before. This episode is equal parts sentimental sisters and bad bitch vibes - kinda like these two sisters.

If you're lucky enough to have a sister, you understand the unspoken yin and yang that comes with these relationships; the closeness, the tension, the comparison, the love, the protection, the admiration, the camaraderie. 

As I emerge from a rough few weeks behind the scenes, I take Alli's advice to heart. I was knocked down a bit; my power shaken, but today, I "get the fuck up and prove them wrong."

When it screams, you sit your ass down and take it all in. This week it screamed to me, and whether I was ready or not, I became its captive audience.

"Live the question," was a piece of advice I took away from my conversation on the Support is Sexy podcast, with the fierce and formidable, Elayne Fluker. Elayne will be a guest on the show in the coming weeks, and you should all go pre-order her book,Get Over "I Got It": How to stop playing superwoman, get support & remember that having it all doesn't mean doing it all alone.

UM, OKAY, ELAYNE.

Like the title suggests, the book centers on how as women pursuing it all, we have to recognize we need the support to make sure we're not doing it all ALONE.

I started thinking - as I always do with these conversations - when I FEEL LIKE I have to do it all alone, and how often do I realize that I can't do it all alone. The answer to both was, "almost always."

Then - bam, bam, bam. 

I was served 3 lessons on support. Some easy, some I really didn't want to receive, but nonetheless, all insanely valuable.

  1. Lesson one was realizing that I had to ask for it

  2. Lesson two was realizing the value of support, and how much I appreciate a safe space to give and receive it

  3. Lesson three was realizing the gift you give others when you say exactly what you need; especially if those people love you and want to show up when you're hurting

We are the teachers of the lessons we're learning. I am learning that support is a symbiotic relationship; the more we give, the more we get. The more we ask, the more we answer.

Juinn is a divorced, thirty-something, modern Asian woman living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is a self proclaimed, "no bullshit marketer, professional shit shield and observer of people." She is also in the middle of uncovering what it means to live an authentic life without forsaking her entire identity as an Asian woman.

We talk honestly about deciding to get divorced during the 2020 pandemic, not wanting to bring shame to her family, and the gripping fear that she may be disowned.

This is a wholly new look at having it all on the Fuck "IT ALL" podcast, yet despite being a world away, Juinn and I bond over a shared love of Beyonce, loving our families but loving ourselves more, and never letting anyone else write your story.

She is a FIA sister, and I can't wait until this pandemic is over, and we get to meet in person.

Every FIA listener should give it a go, because it will change your life for the better.

Christine Igarta sits down with Kacie Lett Gordon to talk about her journey of “paycheck over purpose."  Christine is a former techie turned social worker, and shares her journey of self-discovery through career change, relationships, trauma and remembering that, "it's not about you."

This conversation went from an interview about Christine to a self-help session about me. Line after line, truth after truth, Christine would say something about her life experiences that had me pausing and saying, "WAIT A MINUTE, SAY MORE!"

"Remember - it's not about you."

"We have to build a tolerance for discomfort in order to appreciate the times where we're not uncomfortable"

"My inner self-critic will always be my harshest judge"

"Navigating that delicate balance between humility and hubris, gravitas and levity - that is the human struggle. "

"Is this shit happening or shit happening for a reason?"

I recently heard the phrase, do good to do well.  A year ago I wouldn't have been able to tell you what that means for me; today, I know exactly what it means. It means living a life in service; and when we do that, only abundance comes back.

Join me for a conversation with a practicing social worker who is no longer concerned about having it all, but rather making the most of it all.

Same, Christine, same.

In order to create the change we seek to create, we must first be educated in where we have a disadvantage. That's where this conversation goes, as Audrey Paris Giannini joins me for a second episode, "A Conversation About Money."
 
Full disclaimer, we are two white women of privilege having the conversation, and recognize that bias at the top of the episode. With that, we hope you'll find value in the topics discussed, and no matter where you sit in your own privilege, find value in the start of a complicated conversation.

Audrey says, "just because you're intimidated, don't act uninterested." Damn.

I can't tell you how many times because I didn't understand, and didn't want to seem uninformed, that I instead acted uninterested. That all changed when I left my "comfortable" job to start a business of my own - I had no other choice than to get curious, uncomfortable, and have those tough conversations about money.

This is the start of a "double click" into the complicated topics of what does it mean to redefine womanhood, but also the tools needed to actually realize the change we seek to create.

Thanks for joining in, and we are excited to share more in the coming weeks and months.

She is pursuing a career as a therapist after 10 years in public accounting.

She taught me the simple yet life-changing phrase, "for me," and shares her story of how she learned what does - and does not work - for her.

Lorrie and I met as two women in a life design class. When I shared what I was working on, she immediately shot me a note, and said, "We have to talk."

She was right. We DID have to talk. I shared my story of wanting to drive off the road. She shared hers right back of actually driving off the road. She said, "The fog almost killed me"; and then said, "And, I mean the literal fog, but also the fog of fear, obligation and guilt."

Damn. 

Trauma is a part of the human experience; but it's my experience that our ability to find meaning, purpose and lessons is where growth happens. And, it's hard as hell.

I recently wrote, "I didn't need to change, I needed to make changes." When we say something doesn't work, it might imply we need to change; however when we say something doesn't work for us, it instead implies that we need to make changes to meet our needs.

It's small, but so so powerful. Give it a go this week, and I promise you, these two words are about to change your life.

I found myself wrestling with this question only a few weeks into starting a new company. My week left me feeling uninspired, overwhelmed and questioning what the hell I was doing?

Halfway through I called an audible, and really asked myself what would make me happy. Before I could even process the thought I scribbled down, "To remove all meetings until February." Then, I did the damn thing - I CANCELLED THEM ALL!

It was muscle memory took over. I was creating days and weeks that looked like my old work, without taking a moment to process that the work of today was not the work of my past. I consider myself self-aware and reflective yet without missing a beat, I fell into what so many of us do - living a life out of habit over intention.

So, I channelled the advice of my guest and new friend, Lorrie Thomas Ross, and said, "This does not work - for me." The inclusion of that little clause "for me," has been so powerful to reframe the narrative of what does and does not serve me, and remove guilt over saying as much. Try it, it'll change your life.

Episodes 5 and 6 of Season 2 are all about what is work and how do we make it work for us - as people, and as women.

I watch my Mom and daughter, and am bowled over by their dynamic. My past and future bound together with so much love.

That's why when I was interviewing Amanda Mays for her episode, and she was fawning over her lovely Naunnie, the words were out of my mouth before I could realize what I had said. 

"Will Naunnie join us on the show?"

We laughed, wrapped the episode, and then two weeks later I get an email that, "Naunnie is in!"

It was a gift - truly - to sit down across generation to hear family stories that had never been unearthed before; and to watch as a granddaughter took in the life and struggles that made the woman she calls Naunnie.

If you do nothing else for your soul today, listen to this episode.

She shares her story of saying fuck "it all" to her lifelong dream of being an advertising executive - like her late mother - to instead lead a life of service and purpose as a yoga teacher. Yeah, leaving the city and salary wasn't easy, but damn, has it been worth it.

Amanda lost her mother when she was in high school, and in experiencing such a large and traumatic loss so early, she learned that we only have one life. The best way to honor her mother was not to live her life - also an advertising executive - but rather to live her own boldly.

Amanda shared her perspective that, "vulnerability and connection come from shared experiences. So I'm just trying to use my life in a way that best serves those around me."

By the end of this episode Amanda had me signing up for Pineapple Yoga and also scheduling her grandmother - Naunnie - as a guest on the show.

Do yourself a favor and listen to these next two episodes; they are a gift of cross-generation modern women full of intuition, strength and authenticity.

Having met when we were 8 years old, so much of our lives can be told through the lens of growing together and a part as we've become the women we are today. She is the first person I have ever loved unconditionally; and it was half way through our episode, that it dawned on us both real-time, that its this enduring friendship that most prepared us for marriage.

Kathryn is a brilliant woman, mother, sister, friend, veteran and wife.  We have cheered each other on - literally across the world - and it was a beautiful experience to sit down with my oldest friend and learn something new. Just when I thought I knew all her stories.

For any of you listening, consider yourself in the company of greatness when you settle in to listen to Kacie and Kathryn reflect on nearly 25 years of friendship, where we are in our lives, what we hope for the next generation, how we learned to love unconditionally, and why we think our friendship is the most important relationship of our lives.

Sorry, Aaron and Blake.

I love you, Kathryn. Thank you for being you, teaching me, and going on this journey with vulnerability and authenticity. I see you, and you inspire me.

Redefining it all can sound inspiring, strong and a little intimidating - especially when you're in the midst of figuring out your own shit. What I love is a woman is unafraid to pull back the curtain and show the mess, the pain and the unknowing of what's next. 

That's why I am so excited about this week's episode with my friend, neighbor and fellow modern woman, Elizabeth Murphy.

Days after, still reeling from the news and reality of being laid off, Elizabeth texted me and said, "Let's do an episode about having and losing it all." I was IN! 

Elizabeth had a 10 year career at Warner Media, and for the first time - amidst a global pandemic - she found herself facing the realities of being a working mother and homeschool parent, being the breadwinner and navigating the personal pain and loss of losing your job, when some of your colleagues still have theirs.

We talk about the endless questioning, blow to ego and self confidence, worry and guilt, and realities - like mortgage payments and healthcare coverage - of being a modern woman finding her way amidst losing it all.

2020 was a year of collective pain, loss, grief, essentialism, kindness, unknowing, and ultimately growth. I invite you to reflect on your own journey, and find peace in the knowing that amidst the mess is the start of your own badass story.

I actually laughed out loud at my dilemma. Do I go deep and profound, or lean into the humor - and reality - that aren't we all a little obsessed with Beyonce? I wondered would one drive more likability over the other? And, then again had to laugh, because isn't that the very tensions of being a modern woman?

Be fun, but not too fun! Work hard, but not too hard. Be serious, but not too serious. Be real, but not too real.

I've said it before and will say it again - damned if you do, damned if you don't. Damn.

So, I say, fuck it all. Mary Kate Love is a force to be reckoned with - a leader, builder, fierce friend, ambitious woman and full-on Beyonce super fan. 2020 has been a forced slow down for all of us, yet for MK this went deeper than the pace of work and life; it became a full-blown Fuck It All moment of redefining happiness, balance and priorities.

In our hour together, Mary Kate and I covered the magic of female friendships, Chicago pizza, being defined by what you do, and most importantly, the pivotal moment when a woman asks herself, "When is the right time to start a family?"

This was the cup of coffee with a dear friend I've been yearning for, and I'm grateful that I got to share mine it with the wonderful Mary Kate Love. 

Enjoy.

Ever ask a woman to tell you about her best friend? HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE! She will lay it out - how smart, amazing, beautiful, talented, amazing she is! You ask that same woman what she loves about her self. You’ll see her turn bashful, questioning, less confident.

Daniela Demaria is a work colleague turned dear friend, and today's episode was an unscripted conversation between two friends talking life, spirituality, expectations, Type A personalities, and how work/life balance is, indeed, BULLSHIT .

We talk about what that specifically meant for her in facing a life-changing diagnosis, and how she used her mind-body connection as a way to redefine what it means to have it all.

Daniela is also a mother of two boys, and one of my favorite topics we covered is the strong sense of responsibility she feels in raising tomorrow's men. She talks about real change coming not just when we elevate girls, but only when we reframe and model behavior for all young people - boys and girls.

This conversation is inspiring, honest, unfiltered and most of all, a testament to what happens when a woman intentionally and actively says, "I'm redefining it all."

These two have been on my radar for some time as I've sat in awe at their strength in being two women foraging their own path, while also having to play caretaker to their mother and each other at an extraordinarily young age.

In this episode we talk about what it means to be a strong woman, love and loss, the realities and taboo of mental and physical health, and how they are learning that, "they can do a lot, and also can't do somethings."

This pearl of wisdom came from the youngest, Hannah, and we all laughed at the simplicity and magnitude of that statement.

Enjoy these two, and consider donating to The Alzheimer's Foundation to honor Margaret, Sarah & Hannah - the Ladies Barnett (V formal, amiright?).

Best known for her time leading marketing at The Knot, she has recently embarked on a personal and professional FIA journey that includes a divorce, navigating quarantine as a single working mom of 3, and most recently, starting a new job and a new company simultaneously.

We talk womanhood, motherhood, loving your job, sex, googling life's answers, transformational therapy and a new concept I'm trying out - commute baths.

Amanda shares - and lives by - the notion that there are no right or wrong decisions. Instead, you make a decision and the work is in making it the right one for you. 

Damn.

Enjoy this conversation with Amanda, and tune in as I know she will be a regular guest on the show.

Catie Ivey is a business leader, fellow Atlantan, bold woman and a living, breathing example of what it means to live bravely and, as our friend Glennon says, "do hard things."

Catie joined me on the F*ck "It All" podcast to talk about how she has harnessed her curiosity and grit to create a life bigger than she could have ever imagined growing up in small-town Tennessee. We covered biological clocks, great partners, living internationally, making money and being OK with living life on your own time. 

Listen along to hear how Catie created a life that she'd tell her younger self, "You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish." After an hour together, she's right.

These two best friends turned a knack for gifting into a thriving business, all the while raising babies and, as they say, "staying in their magic." 

We talk about what it means to be women - and best friends - in business together, and how they decided to go on that journey without a moment's pause or hesitation on a train ride between NYC and DC.

We covered business, family, divorce, being brave and unapologetically going after what you want. This is the happy moment we all need following a heavy election week. Sit back and enjoy my conversation with Ashley & Candace, and maybe keep your phone handy in case you want to scroll SecretlyGifting while you listen along.

This tagline is atop the Civic Dinners' website. And that's exactly what we did when I sat down with Jenn Graham, founder & CEO of Civic Dinners to talk family, childhoods, love, fuck-ups, business and loving yourself.

As we are two days away from election day during a moment in time when our country has never been more divided, I am starting the Fuck "It All" podcast by sitting down with a woman who is working to overcome divisiveness by humanizing people and topics that are hard to talk about. This was born out of her own challenges following the 2016 election.

Jenn shares her story as a female founder that built her business, including a capital raise and just hitting her $1M revenue mark, while also becoming a mother - twice. I talked to Jenn days before giving birth to her second child, and the conversation was like sitting down with your best friend and favorite leader, all wrapped into one.

My favorite moment is when we realized that Jenn has built a business that has the potential to "mother the world." Join Jenn & me as we talk about how she is redefining what it means to have "it all," and building a business that seeks to make the world a better place.

I hope you'll consider attending or hosting a conversation that matters at CivicDinners.com.
