  • The Truth About Your Biological Clock: Top Fertility Doctor Shares How to Take Action [BONUS]

    The Truth About Your Biological Clock: Top Fertility Doctor Shares How to Take Action [BONUS]
    Dec 12 2025

    #323: Nothing is more impactful to our ability as women to create our own luck than the journey of motherhood—how we embark on it, and when. That's why I sat down with Dr. Catha Fischer, reproductive endocrinologist and Medical Director at Spring Fertility, for this critical bonus episode to demystify reproductive health, fertility, and the power of reproductive autonomy.


    We dive into what every woman in her 20s and 30s needs to know, from understanding your menstrual cycle (which Dr. Fischer calls your "fifth vital sign") to the truth about how birth control impacts your fertility, and what egg freezing actually entails. This is an honest, judgment-free conversation about removing the shame around fertility and making informed, empowered choices for your future.


    This episode is for you if:

    • You want to understand your reproductive options regardless of your relationship status.
    • You're on hormonal birth control and are curious about what's *really* happening with your natural menstrual cycle.
    • You've been frustrated by the shame and secrecy surrounding fertility struggles or feel like you're "running out of time."
    • You want a factual breakdown of the egg freezing process, including pricing, and outcome data.
    • You're having a hard time getting your questions about reproductive health answered and are seeking patient-centered care.

    Dec 2 2025
    #321: If you've ever felt like you had to choose between the beauty trends you love and the ones that were "meant for you," this conversation will feel like permission to explore it all. Today I'm sitting down with Darcei Giles — the award-winning content creator who's been pioneering inclusivity in beauty since before it was an industry buzzword.Darcei shares her journey from making webcam videos in 2010 to becoming a bridge between Korean beauty innovation and Black beauty consumers.

  • The Science of Manifesting Your Dream Life (Even When It Feels Impossible)

    The Science of Manifesting Your Dream Life (Even When It Feels Impossible)
    Nov 25 2025
    #320: What if there’s less standing between you and your dream life than you think? If you've ever caught yourself thinking "that's too big of a dream," this episode is going to completely shift how you see what's possible for your life.Today I'm sitting down with Olivia Rose Thomas — manifestation coach, co-host of Inspired Delusions, and someone who went from being skeptical of the idea of manifesting to completely transforming her life through it. Olivia breaks down the neuroscience behind why getting your hopes up is the most powerful thing you can do, why your 95% subconscious mind might be sabotaging what you want, and how to rewire your brain to expect good things.This isn't just woo-woo talk — Olivia connects quantum physics, nervous system regulation, and brain science to explain why manifestation actually works. She shares how she manifested her dream apartment the day after putting it on her vision board, why being audacious about your goals gives your brain more dopamine and motivation, and the exact tools that help you feel safe enough to dream bigger than you ever thought possible.This episode is for you if:You're tired of playing it safe and ready to let yourself receive what you actually wantYou've tried manifesting before and felt like it didn't workYou want to understand the science behind why your thoughts literally shape your realityYou're ready to stop being realistic and start being audaciousWe talk about…The moment Olivia went from manifestation skeptic to believer — and manifested her exact dream living situationWhy getting your hopes up is actually less painful than believing nothing is possibleThe study that proves we only see what we're looking for (and how to use this to your advantage)What your subconscious mind really is and why 95% of your thoughts are working against you without you knowing itThe three R's formula: Recognize, Rewire, Regulate — and how to actually change your beliefsWhy EFT tapping calms your nervous system and clears the "clouds" blocking your natural state of worthinessHow to use subliminals safely (and why creating your own with your voice works faster)Why acting "as if" and changing your identity is more powerful than any manifestation ritualWhy being realistic is the fastest road to mediocrity — and what to do insteadHow to feel safe enough in your nervous system to actually let yourself hope for moreEpisode Links:Follow Olivia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oliviarosethomas_/Follow Olivia on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviarosethomas?lang=enListen to Olivia’s podcast, Inspired Delusions: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ETFmbKuK8CU6vYU9wFRwu?si=c93d63ba996d4dd7Get your She’s So Lucky Merch: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/shes-so-luckySponsors:Nutrafol: For a limited time, Nutrafol is offering our listeners ten dollars off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you go to nutrafol.com enter the promo code BALANCEDLES.Kendra Scott: Visit kendrascott.com/gifts and use code SSL20 at checkout for 20% off ONE full-priced jewelry item.

    How to Make Peace with Your Past and Move Forward with Power ft. Nia Sioux
    Oct 28 2025
    #316: Nia Sioux has been in the public eye since she was 9 years old. Most people first met her on Dance Moms, where she became known for her talent, her grace under pressure — and yes, for often being put at the bottom of the pyramid.Now at 24, Nia is reclaiming her story — on her own terms.In this conversation, we talk about what it’s like to be perceived before you even know who you are, and how you begin to unpack that when the whole world thinks they already know your story. Nia opens up about the emotional process of writing her upcoming memoir Bottom of the Pyramid, what it took to revisit her childhood through adult eyes, and how she found closure by using her own voice.This is an honest, layered conversation about resilience, identity, and what it means to own the narrative of your life, especially when that narrative has long been shaped by others.Nia reminds us that reclaiming your narrative isn't just empowering — it's healing.In this episode, we cover:Nia’s emotional journey of revisiting her childhood on reality TVWhat it means to be “the underdog” — and how that label lingersHow the title Bottom of the Pyramid became a reclamation, not a resignationLearning how to tell your full story, even when people only want to hear certain partsReleasing the pressure to prove yourself (and who that performance is really for)What she's learned from watching the show as an adult — and what her mom taught her about strengthEpisode Links:Check out Nia’s memoir, Bottom of the Pyramid: A Memoir of Persevering, Dancing for Myself, and Starring in My Own Life, available November 4thFollow Nia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/niasiouxFollow Nia on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@niasiouxGet your She’s So Lucky Merch: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/shes-so-luckySponsors:Jones Road Beauty: Modern-day makeup that’s clean, strategic, and multifunctional for effortless routines.
