She's So Lucky

#331: In this unfiltered solo episode, I break down why February is about claiming what’s yours and what it really takes to get what you want. Not the aesthetic version. Not the “manifest and wait” version. The real version: with clarity, courage, discipline, and having that dog in you.
From recognizing your unfair advantage, to building the capacity to hold bigger dreams, to shooting your shot even when you’re scared, I walk you through how luck is actually built through bold decisions, uncomfortable growth, and choosing yourself even when it feels risky

✨ In this episode:
I share personal stories about how early conditioning and outside voices can plant desires in us that aren’t actually ours
Why it’s crucial to get honest about what you truly want (not what you’ve been told to want)
I tell you the truth about “being humble” and why it makes you small
Leaning into your real gifts instead of copying others and why that alignment is key
Why the people closest to you may struggle the most with your growth
How to protect your dreams without cutting everyone off
How to unlock your unfair advantage, shoot your shot and get louder about your desires

If you’ve been feeling a pull toward something bigger but haven’t given yourself full permission to be honest about what you want, this episode is your wake-up call.

#330: The more successful you get, the easier life gets…right?
In our final installment of the Breaking the Rules series, today I’m welcoming back the one, the only, Tricia Lee, real estate powerhouse for a truly activating and inspiring conversation about what it takes to truly reach your potential.
From choosing discomfort on purpose to breaking into new rooms and establishing new versions of yourself, Tricia shares why expansion requires ego checks, bold moves, and a willingness to stop playing it safe.
We talk about:
How to intentionally put yourself in rooms where no one knows you to push yourself and expand your opportunities.
The strategies Tricia used to build the emotional muscle to tolerate discomfort, criticism, and setting ego aside while growing her brand and career.
What it really takes to break into new spaces when you’re already successful in one lane.
What’s required of you to level up to your fullest potential.
Why growth never gets easier and how to develop the resilience needed to keep growing.
How bold preparation, relationship-building, and “act as if” energy turn ambition into real, tangible results.

#329: If you need confirmation that it’s okay to follow a path that isn’t linear, this episode is it. In this week’s installment of the Breaking the Rules series, I chat with entrepreneur, investor, and creative multi-hyphenate Hannah Bronfman about rewriting timelines, releasing perfection, and trusting the turns that lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.
From building businesses and investing in women’s health to evolving publicly and creating a life beyond rigid five-year plans, Hannah shares what it really means to break out of the boxes you were placed in—and design your own blueprint.

This episode is for you if:
You’re feeling like you want to make a change, but you’re scared to let go of the identity or path you originally planned.
You no longer wants to live by linear timelines or traditional ideas of success.
You want to build wealth, invest in, and support women-owned businesses but don’t know where to start.
You’re ready to embrace evolution as part of creating your next chapter.
You want to become more comfortable in unfamiliar spaces.

#328: So you know it’s time to make a pivot, but you aren’t sure what comes next. Today’s conversation will help guide you through it.
In the next installment of the “Breaking the Rules” series, I’m talking all things pivots with Jeannette Reyes and Mona Abdi, co-hosts of the Awf the Record podcast, who both left stable news careers to bet on themselves. And spoiler: they're not looking back.
Jeannette and Mona get refreshingly honest about the unsexy parts of pivoting: the financial spreadsheets, the years-long planning timelines, the moments of wondering if they’re doing the right thing. They share why loving your job isn't always enough, how to know when your intuition is screaming louder than your fear, and why having a "board of advisors" can make or break your leap.

This episode is for you if:
You're on the cusp of making a major life pivot, and need help taking the next step
You're struggling with the pressure to balance expectations and joy
You want to build a community to support you during your pivot
You want to understand how to build a business from scratch
You're curious about what it really takes to launch a podcast (hint: it's not vibes alone)

If you enjoyed this episode, leave us five stars — I heard that if you rate the show five stars, something lucky happens. Test that theory, and make sure you're subscribed on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

#327: If you want 2026 to feel different — clearer, more aligned, less like you’re holding your breath — you’re going to have to break a few rules. Especially the quiet ones you’ve been following without realizing it.
In this solo episode, we’re kicking off the year by tossing out the performative resolutions and getting honest about the unspoken rulebook that’s been running your life. You’re not behind. You’re not stuck. But you might still be living by stories, standards, and timelines that were never yours to begin with.
This is about rewriting those scripts — and choosing yourself more boldly than you ever have before.
In This Episode:
The invisible rules keeping you small — and how to spot them
Why being “the good girl” is blocking your growth
The problem with playing it safe (and how to build risk tolerance)
What to do with the “I should be further by now” spiral
The exact rules I broke in 2025 — and how they changed everything
The difference between operating from your past vs. your future self
A 3-step strategy to build a year that feels lucky
How to take bold action without burning yourself out
Why rebellion can be soft, focused, and wildly effective
The rules I’m leaving behind this year — and what I’m replacing them with

You’re not here to play by invisible rules anymore. You’re here to design something intentional — and this is where that begins.
