   Episode #28 Betting on Yourself: From a Payroll Career to a Fitness Studio w/ Guest Romona Kossowan

   3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode • How a hummingbird, a lockout, and a resignation letter marked the real turning point from a stable payroll job into full-time.• Why Gentle Trauma Release was the missing piece for both her clients and herself.• The two "mother energy" archetypes (the white-knuckle achiever and the martyr) that keep women disconnected from their bodies.Bio:Ramona Kossowan is a women’s wellness and empowerment coach known for her deep-rooted approach to helping women who feel exhausted, hypervigilant, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in a frustrating battle with their bodies despite doing “all the right things.”Through Gentle Trauma Release, nervous system healing, mindful eating, and strength training, Ramona helps women uncover the missing piece they often didn’t even realize they needed until they experienced it for themselves: releasing the energetic weight their bodies have been carrying for years beneath the surface of stress, survival mode, self-pressure, and accumulated life experiences.Her work offers a refreshing alternative to surface-level wellness approaches, helping women finally feel safer, stronger, more connected to themselves, and able to work with their bodies instead of constantly fighting against them."Websitesramonakcoaching.comgentletraumacoach.comSocials:   https://www.facebook.com/RamonaKCoachinghttps://www.instagram.com/ramonakcoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-kossowan-380ba66a/https://www.youtube.com/@ramonakcoachinghttps://substack.com/@ramonakcoachinghttps://www.pinterest.com/ramonakcoaching/Is it Trauma?

   Epidsode #27 A Husband in Federal Prison: Healing, Single Parenting & Choosing Yourself with Guest Kathy Love

   My guest, Kathy Love, was living a dream life in Connecticut. A beautiful home, three kids, a strong community. A husband she loved. And then, one summer afternoon, an FBI card on her front door changed everything. For four years, she lived in uncertainty. Job loss. Financial devastation. Her husband in federal prison. A marriage that crumbled under the weight of it all. But this episode isn't just about surviving that. It's about what she had to unlearn to actually live after it. We talk about codependency and self-erasure, the ways women disappear themselves trying to hold everyone else together. About a therapist who gave her permission to leave. She talks about crying in aisle 11 at the grocery store over the cost of paper towels. About keeping secrets that nearly broke her family, and then choosing radical honesty instead. About swimming for the first time as an adult, finishing a triathlon with barely a breath left, and realizing she could do hard things.And about the power of slowing down, of noticing when you're not in a race, even when your whole life feels like one. Kathy built an entirely new life after that four-year storm. She became a speaker, a coach, an author. She helps people, especially veterans, recognize the codependency patterns that keep them small. And the one thing she wants everyone to know: "Slow down and breathe. It'll change your life." ____ Kathy Love is a two-time TEDx speaker, leadership and self-care coach, author, and Chief Community Officer of The Outlier Project, a global community of high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. Known for her candid, relatable approach, Kathy speaks about authentic leadership, self-trust, boundaries, and the courage to show up as who you really are, especially in environments where it can feel easier to play it safe. Her work is shaped by both professional leadership experience and a deeply personal understanding of what happens when caring, achieving, and being there for everyone else come at the expense of yourself. Kathy challenges audiences to rethink what self-care and authenticity actually look like at work, moving beyond buzzwords to practical choices that build trust, resilience, and stronger human connection. Kathy is also the host of the My Self Care Sh*t podcast, a certified coach and yoga instructor, and the author of My Self Care Sh*t: The Workbook. Her style blends humor, vulnerability, practical tools, and the occasional uncomfortable question, the kind that makes you think differently long after you leave the room.

   Episode #26 Falling for a Man 26 Years Younger: Age Gaps, Caregiving & Choosing Herself with Guest Tanja Brown

   There's one line from this conversation that has really stayed with me:"Try not to fit into the roles that everyone is assigning to you."My guest, Tanja Brown, was 50 years old — a single mom raising a daughter with severe autism, running an autism-services company, still catching her breath from selling the last one — when she met a man 26 years younger than her.Thirty days later, he moved in. They stayed together for almost 10 years.But this episode isn't just about the age gap.It's about everything Tanja had to unlearn to let herself have it.We talk about caregiving and self-erasure, the double standards women face in dating, the friendships that didn't survive her choice and the ones that did, what it means to plan a lifetime of care for a child who will outlive her marriage, her sabbatical, her sense of self — and the guilt that shows up the second a woman starts choosing herself.We talk about the voice that says:"You should know better."The judgment that says more about the person judging than the person being judged.The years she spent editing her own story before she finally wrote the real one — a memoir called Flipping the Script: A Decade of Borrowed Time.And what happens when a woman stops asking for permission to be happy.Tanja put it simply:Show up for yourself. Schedule it in. Stop feeling guilty for it.I think there's something in that for so many of us.Not chasing scandal. Not needing anyone's approval. But choosing what actually makes you feel alive — and letting that be enough of a reason.What would you do if you stopped waiting for everyone else's permission first?00:00 Unexpected Age Gap Romance01:02 Meet Tanja Brown02:01 Caregiver Life Overload04:12 Ex Husband Pushback06:46 Who Knew and Who Didn’t08:35 Planning for Disabled Adult Child10:24 A Decade Together and the Breakup11:08 Judgment and Double Standards12:15 Family and Friends Reactions14:30 From Situationship to Real Love20:07 Breaking the Molds27:08 Why It Worked29:05 Laughter Youth and Boundaries32:15 Dating Younger After Divorce33:18 Apps Burnout and Age Range34:30 Compatibility and Lifestyle Pace36:22 Money Time and Priorities40:21 Travel Year Over Dating43:59 Rekindling Friendships45:11 Autism Business Mission48:30 Memoir and Age Gap Truths54:01 Advice Show Up for You57:31 Closing Thanks and Goodbye
