  • 352: Bridging Spirituality and Science: Cathy Heller’s Guide To Abundance and Living a Fulfilling Life
    Sep 3 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of Can’t Be Contained! Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by the ever-so-incredible Cathy Heller! Cathy is a teacher, podcaster, and author of the book, “Abundant Ever After”, and this week we dive deep into the profound intersections between spirituality, creativity, and personal growth. Cathy graciously shares with me her insights on the transformative power of spirituality over medication for anxiety, and the true nature of abundance.

    Hot on the tail of the release of her new book, “Abundant Ever After” (BLACK FRIDAY DEAL HERE!), Cathy and I discuss the value of individuality and creative expression in a society full of pressures that threaten to hinder our full potential. She shares truly inspiring stories of individuals who have taken unconventional paths to success, emphasizing the fact that real fulfillment comes from authenticity and embracing the qualities that make you unique.

    Together, we explore:

    ➤ Common Misconceptions On Abundance

    ➤ Authenticity Vs. Conformity

    ➤ Enhancing Spiritual Awareness

    Look, we all face personal challenges. But if you’re looking to face those challenges with resilience then Cathy’s powerful message just might be what you need to hear! She truly can’t be contained—---and by tuning in and embracing your power—---neither can you.

  • 351: No More Self-Abandonment: Terri Cole’s Boundary Boss Secrets to Reclaim Your Energy
    Aug 27 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am beyond excited to welcome back one of my absolute favorite humans, Terri Cole. If you’ve been around this space, you already know she’s the OG boundary queen, psychotherapist, bestselling author, and a woman who has radically changed the way thousands of us show up in life and love.

    This conversation? It’s all about reclaiming yourself. We go deep into boundaries—not as some rigid rulebook, but as your sacred rules of engagement with the world. We talk about what it really takes to release resentment, stop self-abandoning, and create the kind of relationships that feel safe, alive, and deeply nourishing.

    Terri and I get real about:
    ✨ The difference between standing in your truth vs. getting hijacked by old triggers
    ✨ The sneaky ways high-achieving women (yes, us) fall into codependency—especially with our work
    ✨ How to clean up energetic leaks so you can reclaim your freedom + vitality
    ✨ Why empathy (not advice) is the medicine your relationships are craving
    ✨ Simple, doable steps to set and express boundaries—without drama, guilt, or shame

    And because Terri is pure magic, she shares her signature “three cues for clarity” that will shift the way you understand your reactions forever. We even explore what it looks like to have a codependent relationship with your own business (yep, it’s a thing) and the liberation that comes when you finally choose YOU.

    If you’re ready to call your energy back, stop doing it all, and step into more joy, more wealth, and more love—you don’t want to miss this one. Terri brings the wisdom, the heart, and the fire… and my prayer is that this episode feels like a giant permission slip to stop overgiving and start thriving.

    Check the show notes for Terri’s free toolkit, her incredible community, and all the details on what she’s creating next, you’ll want in.

  • 350: Feeling behind in life & career? Here is the remedy.
    Aug 20 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I’m dropping an episode that is straight from my heart to yours — especially if you’ve ever felt “behind” in life.

    If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Everyone else is making bank, getting married, having babies… and I’m just not there yet,” this one’s for you, babe.

    I’m opening up about my own journey — the wild expectations I had for myself by 25 (spoiler: barefoot in the kitchen with three kids didn’t happen), the crushing weight of comparing my timeline to everyone else’s, and the moment everything shifted when I finally chose to live life on my terms.

    We’re diving deep into…
    ➤ Letting go of society’s timelines and trusting that divine timing is always working for you
    ➤ Releasing urgency so you stop chasing and start attracting what you want by embodying who you’re becoming
    ➤ The energetic difference between creating from love and alignment vs. fear and comparison
    ➤ My favorite real-world practices — the timeline detox, trusting the universe, and living “as if” it’s already done
    ➤ Why surrender isn’t giving up… it’s plugging into your ultimate power

    And… I’m sharing all the juicy details about my upcoming Women & Wealth live event in San Diego — two soul-stirring days to break free from money limitations, connect with women who get you, and step into your million-dollar life.

    If you’re tired of feeling like you’re not enough or running out of time, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, trust, and embrace the timing of your own becoming. You are not behind. You are right on time.

    Take a beat. Tune in. Let’s return to presence, power, and possibility… together.
    Your life is unfolding perfectly. And you, my love, cannot be contained.

  • 349: Human Design Unlocked: Full Permission to Be All of You with Erin Claire
    Jul 30 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am lit up to welcome the radiant Erin Claire. She’s a Human Design guide, teacher, and bestselling author of How To Be You.

    If you’ve ever wondered why you move through the world the way you do...
    If you feel burnt out even when your life looks “good” on paper...
    If you're craving more ease, clarity, and connection in your relationships...
    This episode is going to speak straight to your soul.

    Erin shares how discovering her design changed everything. The way she works. The way she parents. The way she partners. The way she honors her truth and protects her peace.

    We dive into what Human Design actually is. A wild and powerful blend of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system. It sounds cosmic—and it is—but it’s also so practical. Erin breaks it down in a way that’s clear, grounded, and completely life-giving.

    This conversation is all about permission. Permission to stop performing. To stop overriding your instincts. To live and lead from who you really are. Human Design gives us a language for that kind of liberation.

    Inside the episode, we explore:
    ➤ The five Human Design types and what they reveal about your energy, decision-making, and flow
    ➤ The difference between shrinking and aligning (this is big)
    ➤ How understanding your design supports parenting, partnerships, and team leadership
    ➤ The art of honoring your ambition while still choosing rest
    ➤ Rituals for staying connected to your truth and avoiding burnout

    We also get real about what happens when you’re out of alignment. Why rest feels so hard for high-achievers. And why learning to pause is one of the most radical forms of self-love.

    Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or deep into your chart, this episode will remind you of your brilliance. Erin’s wisdom is rich, embodied, and full of heart.

    This one is for you if:
    —You want more flow and less friction in your life
    —You’re curious about how Human Design can deepen your relationships
    —You’re tired of apologizing for your needs
    —You love practical tools wrapped in soulful truth

    Grab Erin’s beautiful new book, check out your chart at humandesignblueprint.com, and let us know your type.

    Let today be the day you stop trying to fix what was never broken.
    You are already enough. You are already wise.
    And the world needs you exactly as you are.

    Let’s get into it.

  • 348: Messaging Mastery: Attracting Clients With Aspirational Energy with Julie Solomon
    Jul 24 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I’m sitting down with one of my absolute soul sisters in the online space, Julie Solomon! This conversation has been a long time coming and lands at exactly the perfect season—one where both Julie and I are feeling into what it means to honor our deepest truth, beyond any pressure to perform, achieve, or fit ourselves into outdated boxes.

    Julie is a bestselling author, world-class messaging coach, and host of The Influencer Podcast. She brings such a fiercely honest but always loving energy to this episode as we unpack what it’s really like to evolve in our ambitions, shed old identities, and find joy in being instead of just doing.

    We both get real about the sometimes-boring (but actually super juicy) side of business when it’s finally in flow, and how letting go of needing constant hustle opened up space for creative play like pottery, songwriting, or just learning French for the fun of it. Julie’s wisdom on moving away from past-based branding and learning to mirror the highest version of yourself, so that your dream clients naturally calibrate UP, is honestly a game changer.

    Inside these powerful minutes, we’re diving into:

    ➤ Shifting from performative achievement to embodied presence (and why breathwork is my not-so-subtle secret!)

    ➤ How to let boredom be a sign you’re on the right track (instead of a call to burn it all down)

    ➤ The truth about pain-based marketing and why speaking to your future self is so much more magnetic

    ➤ My and Julie’s personal rituals for “being her now” and embodying the next-level version of ourselves in every part of life

    This episode is truly one for the women and humans who are ready to ditch the old rules, reclaim their creative spark, and lead with uncontainable truth and permission. Julie brings so many mic-drop moments, and you’ll feel like you’re right here with us, having the realest chat about business, ambition, play, and presence.

    Come hang with us. Let this be your invitation to step all the way in, loosen the grip, and just be her now. You belong.

    Jul 16 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I am absolutely thrilled to be joined by Moira Kucaba! Moira is a powerhouse coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and all-around inspiration. From her courageous journey through addiction and recovery to becoming one of the top Beachbody coaches in the world, Moira’s story is one of grit, soul, and deep trust in the power of intuition.

    In this episode, Moira and I dive straight into what it means to live a life that truly can’t be contained listening to those “whispers” from within, making bold leaps (even when everyone around you thinks you’re crazy), and building a business that feels aligned with your purpose. Moira offers a behind-the-scenes look at her evolution from driven Maryland athlete to hitting rock bottom in addiction, only to rise again and create next-level success on her own terms.

    We’ll chat about the pivots and rebirths that come with entrepreneurship—from pulling away from a thriving Pilates business, to going all-in as a network marketing leader, to wholeheartedly embracing what’s next. Moira shares her “High Vibe Method” for manifesting and executing your dream life, emphasizing the daily rituals, deep self-inquiry, and unwavering belief required to grow, lead, and serve at the highest level.

    Here’s just a glimpse of what we’ll explore together:

    ➤ Listening to your intuition and acting on those big, scary whispers

    ➤ The inside story of addiction, recovery, and radical self-reinvention

    ➤ Balancing the “boss babe” hustle with the femininity of ease and alignment

    ➤ Why becoming delusionally devoted to your vision is the heart of real success

    ➤ Moira’s signature daily practices for vision, inquiry, embodiment, and execution

    Whether you’re navigating a big life transition, dreaming of something more, or building your own version of unstoppable success, Moira’s vulnerability and wisdom will light a fire under you. Join us as we go deep into the mindset, strategy, and soulful trust it takes to shape a life and career that is wildly, unapologetically yours.

    Tune in it’s time to embrace the impossible dreams, trust yourself beyond logic, and finally live a life that can’t be contained!

  • 346: Women do business differently - heal the hustle, tap into alignment and use your innate power for wealth and success
    Jul 9 2025

    Today on Can’t Be Contained, I’m joined by my dear friend, the incredible Mandy Ferdman! Mandy is not just the creative mastermind behind Bath Haus (yes, the newly patented filtered bathtub spout you’ll soon be obsessed with!), but she’s also a meditation prodigy, energy alignment enthusiast, and one of the most intuitive, truth-telling women I know.

    In this episode, Mandy and I crack open a raw, hilarious, and deeply real conversation about intuition, feminine leadership, and the pursuit of radical alignment in life and business. Mandy shares how intuition and energetic alignment have guided everything from crafting a viral maid-of-honor speech to launching a game-changing wellness company all while balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship (and, spoiler alert: she’s got zero tolerance left for people-pleasing!).

    We get into the nitty gritty of:
    ➤ The art of attuning to subtlety and learning from intuition vs. chaos
    ➤ The power and pain of radical honesty (even when it risks relationships)
    ➤ How rejecting societal “shoulds” and embracing the path of least resistance can supercharge your business, creative projects, and family life
    ➤ Practical, real-talk strategies for moving through triggers and emotional contractions—without letting them explode your life
    ➤ Navigating the new era of women in business, discerning alignment in team and partners, and how to trust your body’s wisdom (even when everyone else says otherwise)
    ➤ How motherhood unlocked her deepest creative flow and helped her build a mission-driven business from love (not hustle)

    We also share some of our own stories about growing (up, together, and as women in business), learning to hold strong boundaries, and owning our wild, creative spirits—plus a behind-the-scenes look at Mandy’s journey with Bathhouse and what’s next for this revolutionary wellness brand.

    If you’re ready for an episode that’s packed with gut-level honesty, big laughs, practical magic, and wisdom for building a life and business that feels truly aligned, this one’s for you!

    Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, or anyone on an authentic path—Mandy’s fierce wisdom and loving mirror can’t be contained—and you won’t want to miss it.

  • 345: From Burnout to Rebirth: Embracing Slow Business and True Alignment
    Jul 2 2025

    Today, on Can’t Be Contained, I’m so excited to be joined by the incredible Heidi Stevens! Heidi is a powerhouse coach, speaker, and entrepreneur known for helping women embrace their full potential—with careers, families, and all the nuance in between. In this episode, Heidi and I go deep into the realities of female entrepreneurship, motherhood, and the art of living a life that’s totally aligned and energetically rich.

    We get real about the ultimate initiation into motherhood—what’s joyful, what’s overwhelming, and how our identities shift when we step into new roles. Heidi opens up about her own “dark night of the soul,” how moving from L.A. to a San Diego ranch transformed her life, and why sometimes the bravest move is to slow down, simplify, and confront everything that’s out of alignment.

    We talk about the messy truth behind building a business “like a man,” why it doesn’t work for every woman, and how the new wave of feminine leadership is actually about nurturing empires, not just building and scaling them. Heidi shares intimate stories about trusting your intuition, surviving burnout, and the power of rest over relentless hustle.

    In this episode, we unpack:

    ➤ The spiritual and practical sides of motherhood—and how to make space for new energies (and kiddos!)

    ➤ Why sometimes success means burning it down or taking a long pause—and how to know which is right for you

    ➤ The journey from achievement-driven to energy-driven—creating a business model that’s rooted in alignment rather than overwhelm

    ➤ Rituals and practices for rest, nervous system nourishment, and coming home to self—plus why gardening, breathwork, and even microdosing mushrooms can be part of the path

    ➤ The vision for a new paradigm of feminine business, collective dreams, and leading from devotion instead of just consistency

    Whether you’re a high-energy go-getter, a mom in the weeds, or a woman forging your own trail in business, this conversation is all about radical honesty, deep permission, and the courage to create an authentic, wild, and totally uncontained life.

    Tune in to reclaim your energy, reconnect to your mission, and remember—you really can’t be contained!

    Share this episode with a woman who inspires you and let’s keep building our dream lives, together.
