What if fueling your giving meant finally pouring back into yourself first?

Dr. Tia Warwick is a scientist, professor, public health leader, author, and unapologetic boundary-setter. But what truly blew me away was her realness.

We talk about what it looks like to be driven, heart-led, and purpose-fueled...without losing yourself in the process.

She opens up about what it means to give so much to others while quietly running on empty, and how that shifted the moment she turned around and reached back into the “vault” to start giving to herself.

This conversation is for the high-achievers, the nurturers, the go-getters who are tired of feeling drained even when life looks good on paper.

If you’ve ever struggled with setting boundaries, feeling guilty for putting yourself first, or wondering when you get to feel full again - Dr. Tia’s story will speak to your soul.

We dive into:

👉 Why being “productive” can become a trap
👉 How to know your own threshold—and honour it
👉 The difference between being selfish vs. self-aware
👉 What happens when you actually start saying no (and survive it!)
👉 And the one belief every woman needs to release in order to rise

Dr. Tia also shares a powerful metaphor you won’t forget - and a gentle, soul-deep reminder that you are already enough. No titles, no to-do list, no proving required.

If you’re ready to feel lighter, freer, and more connected to your own needs, this is our special gift to you.

What if the life you’re meant to live doesn’t show up until after you’ve already lived a few others?

Dr. Shafer, a former physician turned transformational coach, author, and speaker - is living proof that it’s never too late to come home to yourself.

After decades of walking the high-achiever path (you know the one...degrees, credentials, perfectionism on overdrive), Dr, Shafer hit a turning point. And instead of pushing through, she got curious.

What unfolded next was a journey of shedding, surrendering, and stepping into her truest work: helping others break free from limiting beliefs and step into possibility.

Now in midlife, Dr. Shafer is using her voice, her story, and her heart to help others wake up to what’s actually possible - and it’s not about hustling harder. It’s about becoming who you were always meant to be.

In this deeply honest and soulful conversation, we talk about:

✨ Why transformation doesn’t always look like a big bang...but more like a quiet unfolding
✨ How to begin again when your identity feels tied to your achievements
✨ Letting go of who the world told you to be so you can finally feel free
✨ Her brand new children’s book (yes!) and what it taught her about healing and inner work

Dr. Shafer’s story is like a soft exhale and a spark all in one.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your title, your role, or your “shoulds,” this episode is a beautiful reminder that your second act doesn’t have to be a compromise...it can be the most true thing you’ve ever done.

What if starting over at 54 didn’t mean settling - but soaring?

I sit down with the fierce and fabulous Jeanne Omlor - a woman who went from drowning in debt as a single mom to building a million-dollar business in just 17 months!!!

Now in her 60s, Jeanne isn’t just running a multi-million dollar business - she’s redefining what it means to thrive.

We cover all the things:

👉 Growing a business without burning out
👉 Parenting while building an empire
👉 The BS around “work-life balance”
👉 How purpose - not just profits - drives true success.

Jeanne’s story is a wake-up call and a permission slip all in one.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s too late to build something incredible, change directions, or go after that dream on your heart…

...baby, this one’s for you.

You’ll hear us riff on:

• What it really looks like to build a business from scratch later in life
• How Jeanne built her dream with zero paid ads
• Why she never waited to feel “ready”
• And how to own your value at every stage (especially after 45!)

This convo will fire you up, challenge what you think is possible, and remind you that your best chapter might be just beginning.
