So grab your matcha, get comfy and let’s dive in!
Ohhh, you're in for a ride today!
I'm joined by my husband Sam Robinson for part interview, part riff, part just fly on the wall how we-exist-as-a-couple-kind of episode.
Sam is a therapist & entrepreneur (even if he doesn't identify as such), and in this episode we talk about everything from co-habitating as a household of two biz owners, co-sleeping with our 5 yo, how we handle conflict, what we love about each other, a little bit about how we met (spoiler: it may or may not involve some pink short shorts and I'll let you guess which one of us was wearing them 😉), and so much more!
You know that point in your biz where the work that once lit you up starts asking something new of you? Maybe new systems, new boundaries, new levels of self-leadership?
That’s exactly what today’s conversation explores.
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Tonya Papanikolov, the founder and CEO of RAINBO, a functional mushroom and adaptogen company built on a foundation of integrity, curiosity, and deep reverence for the natural world.
Tonya’s story moves from holistic nutritionist and yoga practitioner to visionary product-based founder, blending together science, spirituality, and entrepreneurship in the most magnetic way. We talk about nervous system wisdom, feminine leadership, working with your partner, and what it really looks like to grow a soul-led business that scales, without losing your magic.
As artists and creative entrepreneurs, we’ve all heard people talk about finding your zone of genius. And while I love the intention behind it, lately it’s started to feel a little limiting, like maybe what we actually need isn’t more “genius”… but more aliveness.
What if instead of asking, “What am I the best at?”
we asked, “What makes me feel most alive?”
Ever had the gut feeling that the “dream” you built isn’t actually yours anymore? That little voice in your head that says: burn it all down and begin again?
That’s exactly what artist Nicole Leth did. After a decade running a wildly successful clothing line (stores, press, big following), she walked away to return to what felt true. Now her work shows up where you least expect it — on billboards, in murals, as anonymous postcards, even written across the sky.
Nicole shows us what it looks like to listen to your intuition even when it’s wildly inconvenient.
I'm coming to you live from my pleasure walk in Jersey (the Channel Island), purple-toothed from roadside blackberries, lavender oil in hand, and a whole sermon in my bones about play, intuition, and letting your biz evolve.
This one is part forest airpod voice note, part love-letter to your creative life force. If you’ve been in “rinse, repeat, scale, scale, scale” mode, consider this your gentle dare to go do something fun ⎯ not as a reward for being productive, but as a strategy for being creative.
If you’ve ever been curious about what it looks like to start a product-based biz, get into retailers, or alchemize your own struggle into something that serves others, you’re gonna eat this convo right up. I had the pleasure of chatting with Catherine and Lauren Lee, endometriosis warriors, founders of Semaine Health, and just all-around powerhouses when it comes to turning pain into purpose. We go deep into their own journeys with endo, PCOS, and IBS, and how what started as pain and suffering became not just relief, but the birth of Semaine Health!
And even if you’re not biz-curious — if you’re just a human with a uterus — this episode is such an inspiring conversation about women’s health, period pain, menopause, stress, and the magic of plants.
If the word selling gives you the ick 🙃 or makes you want to crawl under a blanket and “just hope people find you”…
In this juicy solo riff, I’m sharing why your most aligned sales strategy is the one that mirrors how you serve. And when you’re selling in your zone of genius? It doesn’t just feel better, it works better too.
This episode is all about what it really looks like to create meaningful work over the long haul — especially when the platforms, seasons, and strategies are constantly changing. It’s such a tender, transparent look at pivoting in public, navigating career transitions, and staying devoted to creativity even when things feel murky.

Okay, real unhinged car pod here for you!
I’ve had it on my to-do list for two weeks to record this episode about meeting your biz where you’re at so today, I’m recording this episode in the car, earbuds in, A/C blasting, and a 20-minute drive ahead of me because we’re not here to build a biz that only works when everything is perfect. We’re here to build a biz that works when you’ve got a sick kid, a full plate, or a much-needed break on the horizon. It actually get's to be easy, babe and I'm so stoked to share this juicy ramble with youuuuu!
Okay, people… you're in for such a juicy conversation with my dear friend Samantha Jo, Pleasure Queen and creator of The Pleasure Codes — a spiritual, somatic method for thriving and exponential growth.
She has such a phenomenal way of approaching pleasure. Honestly, I don’t always resonate with folks in the pleasure space ⎯ sometimes it feels performative or exhibitionist in a way that doesn’t land for me. (Which is funny, because I used to be an actress and love being seen on stage!) But Samantha's work is the polar opposite.
Here’s the thing: the difference between a hobby and a business? It’s money, honeeeey. And we make money by selling our products and services. I used to cringe at all of this (sales felt icky and tacky). But if what you do makes people’s lives better (whether you’re a babysitter, florist, massage therapist, or anything else), then it’s your DUTY to share it. Full stop.
In this episode, I'm walking you through my intuitive framework for lead gen that skips the bro-marketing and starts with this simple truth: Your message matters. And your people can’t buy from you if they don’t know you exist.
If lead gen has felt hard, awkward, or exhausting, this episode is your permission slip to re-imagine it.
Can you make something go viral? Let’s talk about it…
Today’s episode is a juicy book-club-meets-marketing-masterclass moment inspired by my latest read, Contagious by Jonah Berger. This one was originally for my Elevated Mastermind babes (yes, we have a book club because I'm obsessed with #AlwaysLearning) but the takeaways were too good not to share. Think: virality explained, minus the gimmicks, plus essential oils and metaphorical $100 steaks.

Let me just say — this episode with Chelsea Riffe? Whew. It’s the kind of convo that lingers in your mind long after you’ve pressed pause. Think: sunshine-soaked digital nomad wisdom meets Virgo moon strategy meets permission to build a business around your actual capacity (not what some Instagram carousel told you to aim for).
Recently, I was speaking with some peers, and they were all asking me:
“How do you know when you’re doing enough?”
And I was like, “Oh, that’s easy. I do this, this, this, and this.” And in my head, I was like, doesn’t everybody have systems around enoughness?
And I realized—no, they don’t.
And the reason I have them is because for most of my time running multiple businesses, I didn’t feel like I was doing enough.
I’m human. I’m not going to lie to you and be like, “Oh yes, I’ve cracked the code and I feel like the highest achiever all day, every day.” No. But I have created systems around my expectations of self and output and results so I can actually check out of work on the weekends and exhale.
You are in for such a yummy conversation conversation on love, relationships, and the dance between masculine and feminine energy with my dear friend ⎯ life, relationship, and executive coach Justine Baruch! She's dropping some serious wisdom on how biology, brain chemistry, and energy dynamics impact our relationships.
I’ve been thinking a LOT about perfection—how it creeps in, how it shapes our work, and how it can sneakily block our success. I was super transparent last year that I had a really hard year in business. And ironically, once I got my P&L, I realized I actually made more money than ever… but also spent more than ever. Some investments were amazing. Others? Meh. I felt super overleveraged, questioning what actually works in my business, what brings me joy, what delivers the best results for my clients—because that is what keeps people coming back…
Creativity is both an act of expression and an act of courage. It’s putting something into the world with no guarantee of recognition, applause, or financial return. In this episode of The Workwomb Podcast, I sat down with writer, author, and creative nomad Dani Kreeft to talk about the real creative journey — the one that happens before the sales, the book deals, the social media buzz. The journey of making art for the love of it, trusting your own rhythm, and giving yourself permission to create on your terms.
I’ve been reading a phenomenal book called Be Your Future Self Now by Dr. Ben Hardy. He’s an organizational psychologist, PhD, and a brilliant thinker. His work has been so impactful for my business. His book 10x is Easier Than 2x, co-authored with Dan Sullivan, was a game-changer. It’s a simple yet potent concept that has influenced my approach to business and decision-making…
Alright, let’s talk about love. Not just the romance-novel kind, though we’ll get there. I’m talking about the love that shifts paradigms, disrupts outdated norms, and pulls us into joy and power. That’s the kind of love Elizabeth Everett writes into her feminist, consent-filled historical romance novels, and it’s also the fire fueling today’s creative, entrepreneurial women who are rewriting the rules of work and success.
Cool, but wtf
