Two weeks post–Stay True Live, I’m writing a love letter to the room. One hundred fifty women, one heartbeat—no hiding, no costume changes between “home” and “work.” We held hard questions, shook hands and souls, cried in the corners, pinky-swore at tables, and yes, line-danced to Shania.

That room redefined what leadership looks like: speakers, venue, my Masterpiece women—everyone led. Even my film team (the legendary KFC—Kentucky film crew, not chicken) said it wasn’t a seminar; it was a movement. Ages 17 to 77. Empire-builders next to women just starting. Different stories, same frequency of truth.

After spending a week at a conference in Denver that felt like Burning Man meets business for women, I came back changed—sequins, leopard print, monk robes, and all. I went in stretched to my limits, from packing last-minute Amazon deliveries and experimenting with blue mascara, to walking into rooms alone where I’d never felt so out of place—or so alive. Every outfit became a new initiation. What started as discomfort turned into expansion. I realized that how we show up—from hair to heels—shifts who we believe we are. Each day, I felt my confidence catch up to my reflection.

What surprised me most was how deeply expression connects to identity. Watching women go from hiding in slouched shoulders to standing tall in sequined confidence was electric. I saw it in myself, too—the rediscovery of the playful, creative, feminine side I’d buried under “don’t be high-maintenance” beliefs. I used to tone myself down to fit in, but this week cracked that open. I wore red lipstick unapologetically, straightened my hair, tried bold styles, and saw new reflections of me I hadn’t met yet. It wasn’t about fashion—it was embodiment.

This experience reminded me that we evolve when we dare to do something unfamiliar, even uncomfortable. Maybe “high maintenance” was never the truth—it was just the label we used to hide from our own radiance. This week taught me that when we give ourselves permission to be fully expressed, everything unlocks. So I’m redefining my closet, my brand, and maybe even what confidence looks like. Here’s to the next identity leap—and to showing up as the woman I was always meant to be.

In this episode, I dive into the tension between survival and healing—the part of the journey no one warns you about. For many of us, the traits that once protected us—the grit, control, independence, or sharp edges—are the same ones we later try to erase when we step into growth. But what if those edges aren’t flaws to fix? What if they’re proof of what we’ve survived—and the foundation for what’s next?

I share the moment I realized that softening isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, our strength doesn’t need to be diluted—it needs to be integrated. This episode is a call to honor the parts of yourself that fought for your life, even when they no longer fit who you’re becoming. It’s about learning to hold both—the woman who built the armor and the one who now wants to live freely without it.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” “too strong,” or “too intense,” this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to stay soft without surrendering your edge—to stop apologizing for the fire that saved you and start using it to light your next evolution.

I’ve spent much of my life wondering if I was “holding up my end of the deal” when it came to running a house. Truth? I’m not the best homemaker, and I’ve carried plenty of guilt and comparison around that. But here’s the shift: my life’s work isn’t about spotless floors or perfectly folded laundry—it’s about creating, leading, and living in alignment. And alignment is messy. It’s not always what feels good or looks good from the outside, but it’s the only thing that keeps me true to my mission.

I’ve learned that every season of life requires trade-offs. When my kids were young, I cooked more. Now, I hire help when I can, and sometimes I let things slide. And that’s okay. Because my magic isn’t in a scrubbed kitchen—it’s in vision-casting, building movements, guiding people shoulder to shoulder, and creating spaces where others can rise. That’s where my energy belongs.

So here’s the dirty little secret: you don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to compare your gifts to someone else’s. The point isn’t to fix every limitation, but to know your magic and own it fully. When you stop comparing, stop shaming yourself, and start focusing on the gifts only you can bring, that’s when life opens up—and you finally get to live aligned.

Faith, Friendship & a Fierce Calling with Oliva Abraham

I sat down with Olivia Abraham—aka Liv Abe—and within minutes I knew why she’s lighting up this city. At 23, she’s built Live by Grace Photography across Fargo and Arizona, leads associate teams, and founded The Invitation, a Christ-centered women’s community that’s already grown to 27 chapters. We traced her path from iPod photo shoots to weddings, seniors, brands, and families—and the real lesson underneath: learning capacity the hard way, guarding her name and client experience, and surrendering her plans to God when the calling feels bigger than her calendar.

What moved me most was Liv’s honesty about the breakup that “broke” her and became the seed of something sacred. We talked about listening for the God-zone—peace that surpasses understanding, Holy Spirit conviction, and the difference between gut noise and divine guidance. I see in her the maiden energy I remember in myself: fire, hospitality, an open door for women to belong. If you’re carrying a big vision, Liv’s reminder is simple and true—keep going. Impact doesn’t require 200 confirmations; sometimes it’s one woman who leaves different.

About Liv:

Olivia Abraham, better known as Liv, is a 23-year-old entrepreneur and photographer who splits her time between North Dakota and Arizona. A graduate of Grand Canyon University with a degree in marketing and advertising, she launched her business, LivByGrace Photography, while still a teenager and has since built it into a thriving full-time career.

Liv is passionate about traveling and Jesus, often hopping on a plane to photograph weddings and explore new places. She also founded The Invitation, a growing women’s ministry with 27 chapters nationwide, and leads the local chapter in Fargo. She’s dedicated to living intentionally, creating timeless memories for others, and embracing life with equal parts adventure and grace.

Odyssey of a Healer with Emily Koska

I brought Emily Koska on because from the minute we met (yes, I slam-hugged her at Impact Collective), I knew she was a flag-carrier. Emily’s path is anything but linear—CNA to burned-out nurse, a decade as a wedding photographer, back to NP school, then into functional medicine where women’s hormones became her lane because it was also her lived battle: endometriosis, crushing fatigue, thyroid questions, and years of fertility struggle. She did the work, optimized her hormones, and—after 15 years of thinking it might never happen—she’s now pregnant with baby #3 at 37. That conviction shows up in her practice, where every new patient starts with a 45-minute “tell me everything” session, followed by targeted labs and a clear plan. The patterns she sees most: fatigue, brain fog, weight resistance, gnarly periods, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and the perimenopause/menopause rollercoaster—so often fueled by insulin resistance, inflammation, environment, and unprocessed stress/trauma.

We also went there on identity and leadership. Emily’s a self-described “doer,” the one who grabs the sword when systems want her silent, and she’s rebuilding her life with boundaries, mentorship, and real community—not the shallow “be liked” version. We named the ache so many women carry: feeling unseen while holding everything together; numbing with scrolls, sips, and to-dos; forgetting the body is wildly capable. Her charge to women leading big things was simple and unshakable: you are capable—do it scared, trust yourself, and keep going.

Oh—and because one flag wasn’t enough, Emily and her husband launched Odyssey FM, an Acton-style micro-school in Moorhead that blends learner-led education, character development, and Socratic dialogue. It’s small by design, family-centric, and built to let kids lead, struggle, and grow—exactly the skills adulthood actually requires. If you’re a woman listening who checks all the “this might be hormones” boxes, or you’re craving a tribe of “friends with flags,” Emily’s work—and this conversation—are your nudge.

About Emily:

I work with women who feel dismissed, overwhelmed, or stuck when it comes to their health because I’ve been there myself. My own experience with hormone imbalance is what drives me to dig deeper and listen differently. At EmpowHER, I specialize in helping women get to the root of symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, mood swings, and cycle irregularities. I treat a wide range of hormone-related issues including adrenal dysfunction, thyroid disorders, PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, and gut health concerns that are often overlooked but deeply connected to hormones. My approach is personalized, functional, and evidence-based. With tools like advanced lab testing and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), I help women rebalance their bodies and feel like themselves again energized, clear, and confident. If you’re tired of being told “everything looks fine” when nothing feels fine I’m here to help you finally get answers and take back control of your health.

Spirit, Boundaries + Brave Hearts with Jodie Harvala

I invited Jodie Harvala because, in my eyes, she pioneered spirituality in Fargo–Moorhead–West Fargo. I opened by naming that and thanking her—because the truth is, Jodie gave women like me permission to trust our gifts without needing to brand ourselves as “woo.” We talked about how she built her work from a season of loneliness and curiosity, finding mentors, claiming the title “psychic,” and learning to hold firm boundaries—even in the face of blatant rejection. I shared my own evolution from wanting to “win” to building stages with as many mics as possible for women with wildly diverse stories. Together we named the mirror work—how our outer criticism often reflects an inner one—and why embodiment matters more than more information.

Jodie described her lighthouse as returning to her own spirit (and heart), and how travel cracked her open: solo miles through the Tetons, Glacier, the Camino. That’s become part of her calling now—Spirit School, retreats, and women’s travel that gets us out of the house and into our lives. We dug into the head–heart truce, befriending the ego, setting energetic boundaries, and managing capacity so we don’t burn out serving everyone else’s crises. When I asked what nearly broke her, she was honest about a hard chapter in her marriage—and the rebuilding that followed—plus the weight of losing a longtime client. And when I asked what she wants to be remembered for, she said disrupting fear in women’s lives. Same, sister. We closed with her message for leaders: trust your heart, tend your world, and let desire be louder than fear.

About Jodie:

Jodie Harvala is a psychic medium and energy clearing expert who guides people to release heavy patterns, trust their intuition, and welcome everyday magic. She is the founder of Spirit School, an ongoing community offering monthly classes, live energy work, and supportive gatherings where spiritual growth and real-life grounding come together. Known for her direct wisdom and vibrant presence, Jodie blends deep intuitive insight with practical guidance to help others reconnect with their spirit and move forward with clarity, confidence, and joy.

Grit, Grace, and Eco Chic with Maria Bosak

I brought Maria Bosak on because she’s one of the first women who showed me what real community looks like. My very first non-chiropractic event—seven women, a laptop on an end table, Nickelback and Bruno Mars on the playlist—happened in Eco Chic’s back “gathering space.” Fifteen years later, I finally got to tell her how much that moment imprinted on me. In our conversation, Maria opened up about the early, brutal years of business—when “sell the damn hutch” became the pivot from eco-baby goods to repurposed furniture, when a gracious landlord bought them time, and when grit plus listening to the customer kept them from bankruptcy. She credits her team and girlfriends as her proudest accomplishment and shared how becoming a better boss and friend (more joy, fewer secrets, clear boundaries) attracted the right people.

Then we went deeper—into the heartbreak and holiness of foster care. Maria and her husband lost a two-year-old daughter they’d hoped to adopt, only to later welcome three children who are now 6, 6, and 7. She described a God-wink straight out of Jeremiah 31—“your children shall return”—timed to the very night their first daughter left and her sons entered care. That’s the ground her family stands on: faith, daily joy, and the humility to ask for help. For the women leading big things, her whispered counsel is simple and unshakeable: “Just love.” And as for what’s next, Maria’s keeping Eco Chic rooted in Fargo while expanding online, restarting in-store gatherings and Bible studies, and exploring new ways to bring women together—because when we drop the ego, share the playbook, and choose joy, there’s more than enough for all of us.

About Maria:

Maria Bosak is the Founder and President of Eco Chic Home, a home décor and furniture store established in 2010. Under her leadership, Eco Chic Home has grown into a trusted destination for design enthusiasts, offering both a brick-and-mortar shopping experience and a thriving online presence. Known for its curated selection of stylish and timeless pieces, the store reflects Maria’s passion for creating beautiful, livable spaces.

In addition to running Eco Chic Home, Maria is the visionary behind the Eco Chic Design Conference, an event that brings together design experts, creatives, and homeowners to inspire and educate on all things home. She also founded the Fargo JunkMarket, a beloved local market that showcases unique finds, vintage treasures, and artisan goods.

Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, Maria has built a rich family life with her husband, Tate. Married for nearly 20 years, they are proud parents of three children through adoption. Maria’s deep commitment to family and community shines through in her work, as she continues to create spaces—both in homes and in her businesses—that foster connection, beauty, and meaning.

When she’s not running her businesses, Maria enjoys the simple joys of life: sipping coffee, getting lost in a good book, tending her garden, and sharing plenty of laughter with friends.
