If you’ve been with me since the Fed and Fearless days, you know I believe in creating a business that supports your whole life—not one that drains you.

But at the end of 2022, I pressed pause. Now, here in Q2 of 2025, I’m stepping back into the podcasting space with a refreshed mission, new insights, and so much I can’t wait to share with you.

In this post, I’m giving you the behind-the-scenes story of why I took a two-year break from podcasting, what’s changed in my life and business, and what’s in store for this new chapter.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or practitioner looking for business strategies that align with your life, keep reading (and don’t forget to subscribe to the show!).

Why I Pressed Pause on the Podcast (and Business as Usual)

When I wrapped up the Fed and Fearless podcast in 2022, I intended to restart after a few months. But life, business, and motherhood had different plans.

“I pressed pause on doing the podcast and two and a half years later I was still struggling to get started again. I was feeling a lot of resistance, just feeling a lot of this… not confusion, but just becoming a mom as a business owner.”

Motherhood sparked an identity shift I hadn’t anticipated. When I had my first daughter, Vera, I experienced a deep transformation:

“I feel like I went through this crazy identity change and this feeling of not really knowing who I was anymore as a business owner.”

In 2024, I became pregnant with my second daughter, Mabel, and realized my business relied too heavily on my own energy and daily involvement:

“I built it to very much depend on my energy, very much depend on me showing up every day, having that time to work, being intimately involved with a lot of clients in a higher-level program.”

When my energy tanked during pregnancy, I knew I couldn’t sustain that pace:

“I had to do a ton of work to support the people that I was working with. That was fine when I had more energy and a higher capacity to work with my clients. But when I got pregnant and when I started to feel like garbage, it became too much.”

This was the wake-up call I needed to deconstruct what I had built and redesign my business with sustainability in mind.

The Nourished CEO: What It Means and Why It Matters

So, why the rebrand to The Nourished CEO?

“The Nourished CEO is the idea of being able to be the CEO of your business… but also that you are building this business with your wellbeing as a primary driver of the decisions that you make.”

I introduced this concept with my Nourished CEO Live event in late 2023, and it’s been guiding my coaching and business strategy ever since. Here’s what it’s all about:

• Building an online business that supports your offline life.

• Prioritizing energy, health, and fulfillment alongside financial success.

• Creating sustainable systems that allow your business to thrive without running on overdrive.

What to Expect From The Nourished CEO Podcast

This isn’t your typical polished, overly scripted show.

“I want this to feel like we’re at coffee together and we’re just chatting business, and I’m sharing with you what’s going on and what I’m learning through the process.”

Each week, I’ll bring you:

• Mindset shifts that foster long-term growth.

• Behind-the-scenes insights from my business and life as a mom.

• Tactical marketing and sales strategies that work.

• Interviews with industry leaders and client success stories.

Most episodes will be bite-sized (20-30 minutes) so you can easily tune in during a walk, car ride, or coffee break.
