I grew up on a hobby farm where we lived without electricity, raised our own meat, eggs, milk, and vegetables. Growing up without electricity felt very isolating because I didn't have a phone or TV. I didn't know the latest shows, didn't have a way to call friends, didn't know how to connect deeply with others because I felt so different. On top of that, our property felt like a messy junkyard with 30+ vehicles lying around and scraps of everything else you can think of. Life was frustrating in many ways and over time, I found that through creative pursuits, hard work, and optimism, I could get through anything. I also found that learning to build deep, connective relationships would be how I would ultimately find my greatest fulfillment. As we go through these tough times with COVID19 and the effects it is having on families and the economy, we can find peace in knowing that when doors close, although it may be tough for a while, it will get better and we will recover. You and I will make it through these hard times if we can inspire and life each other. Share this with someone that you feel could use some hope, an interesting story, or someone to relate with.

Have you ever looked at the moon and marveled at how we accept it completely—craters and all—without wishing it were any different? That's the profound realization I had during a solitary hike that transformed my relationship with self-acceptance.

Walking alone through rolling green hills at dusk, I was wrestling with familiar insecurities: the exhausting need to prove myself as a mother, businesswoman, and creator. Would I ever feel like enough? As I reached the hilltop, the moon appeared—subtle yet bright enough to guide my way home without a flashlight. Unlike the blinding sun, her light was gentle, her presence comforting despite (or because of) her imperfections.

This celestial encounter reminded me of a pivotal moment years ago after releasing my first album. I'd been striving desperately to be cooler, edgier, and more marketable—until one day I truly saw myself in the mirror. Not my flaws or inadequacies, but simply me. In that breakthrough, I recognized that like the moon, I am enough exactly as I am. This revelation inspired my song "Gem," which I perform in this episode as a reminder that our authentic selves—the ones we don't have to force or fabricate—are miracles worth celebrating. The places we want to hide, the vulnerabilities we fear showing—they're all part of what makes us human, connected, and real. You already possess everything you need; you're a gem with natural brilliance that doesn't require polishing to perfection.

Ready to embrace your authentic self? Listen now, then share with someone who needs to hear they're already enough. Because sometimes the most powerful alchemy happens when we stop trying to transform who we are and simply recognize the gold already present.

Kim's story is a bit of a roller coaster and definitely one you want to hear. She was in a catastrophic car accident 20 years ago and was left with having to breathe through a trachea tube for 3 years. She's not the stoppable kind, so she moved forward during those 3 years getting an MBA and marrying the love of her life after meeting in school. She worked as a management consultant for 15 years and during that time was dealing with infertility. She did 9 rounds of IVF and had two children during that time and lost two children to miscarriage. After the second miscarriage, she needed a way to come out of the heartbreak. She knew yoga was her way out and now she practices yoga every day. She does some incredible moves, so be sure to check those out on her Instagram @leapoffaith.yoga.

Keyasia was a state champion in track and field during college and while she's excellent at running and loves it, it wasn't her true passion. She found that dancing is always been her go-to for enjoyment and letting go. After graduating with a 4.0 in Arts and Fashion Design, she decided to pursue dance further. Now she's a dance fitness instructor and loves breaking it down for her class members so they can get it and feel confident with their accomplishments. She also dives into her struggles with social anxiety and what she does to deal with it. She says that although the preparation for a class sometimes gives her anxiety, it melts away when she starts dancing and teaching. She considers herself an introvert and you'd never know it watching her bust a move in the fitness studio, but that's what I love about interviewing women.

I wanted to bring Margaret back onto the show because I got a lot of questions from people about details on how she actually went from the marathon to 120 mile race two months later. She is a power woman on a mission to complete and do well whatever race she pursues. She wins and places almost every time. She has grit and determination by the bucketload and once she sets her mind to something, that's it. She tells what it was like dry heaving and vomiting the final day of the race. She brings us to the now and what she would do different to prepare for the race given the chance. The good news, she's on to more adventures and is training for a 100 miles race that isn't spread across days. She implementing her new practices so that this race involves less puking. Maybe we'll have to check in with her again to see how that race goes! Subscribe to get episodes every Monday.

How Andrea went from no background growing up in music to writing songs, recording an album, and going on tour. I'm your host and I consider myself a very creative person. I've always loved to sing and did choirs in high school along with church choirs. I did a few solos, but my confidence grew in college. Songwriting became something that I fell in love with in college after a few experiences that led up to it. After my freshman college roommate, Tracy was killed in a car accident, I became intent on carrying out her songwriting legacy. She inspired me with her love of guitar and songwriting, so I took a guitar class. That particular method of guitar playing didn't resonate well with me, so I put the guitar down for a couple of years. I picked it back up when I started a bluegrass band for a talent show and it was history from there. I bought my own guitar, wrote my first song, and now I've written over 100 songs. I went on a house concert tour with my 6 month old after producing a 7 song album. You'll hear a few of those songs on this episode. You can find my music by Googling Andrea Belita. You can find my album anywhere you listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc. Watch my two music videos I'm Yours and Going Dancing. I've also written a few kid's songs for The Leader in Me and Be Proactive has 145K views on YouTube with hundreds of kids across the country performing my songs for their schoolwide leadership programs.

Amanda is an attorney turned stay-at-home mom who is adventurous all the way. If she had her way, she'd live in a tiny home on a piece of land, but in the meantime she's doing all she can to provide the experiences that her heart desires and that helps shape her kids. She and her husband sold their home and headed out on the road for a year. Brave and adventurous with zero RV experience in the past, they didn't even use YouTube to figure out how to reverse a truck with an RV. They just figured it out. With challenges along the way, they made lemonade out of lemons. They took this year to homeschool and enjoy time together. It came to an end when her husband needed to go back into the office to work. Although the hope had been to stay out for 2 to 3 years, they adapted and are back to normal life, but with a different perspective. She even tells about the costs associated with this endeavor. You'll get the whole scoop. With a kindergartner and first-grader, she sent her kids off to school this year. Now that her kids are back at home because of COVID19, she's loving it and reconsidering the idea of homeschooling. On top of that, she had been training for her first marathon and it got canceled because of COVID19. She planned her own and ran it anyway. You will love my conversation with Amanda.

Shelby was a whole lot of fun to talk to. She is smart, strong, focused, and ready to take on whatever challenge comes her way. She began truck driving three years ago when she dropped out of her classes to start driving semi trucks. Her low key obsession with semi-trucks led a friend of hers to help her recognize that she wasn't happy on the path she was on doing school and to give truck-driving a try. She took truck driving school after geting sponsored by a company, passed all the tests with flying colors, and then hit the road. Three months ago, she started a YouTube channel and it was an immediate hit. One of her videos has garnered more than 2 million views. She's become an icon in truck driving overnight. She's educated and is looking for ways to help others who are getting into the industry to find information about truck driving. She's looking for ways to help others, and now has a website that gives people basic info on how to get started. She's open about the challenges that come with being a woman in the industry.

Mazey came on the show a couple of weeks ago and shared her love of running at 17. She is 17 and ran a 50 miler trail race. She is stellar. After I interviewed her, she asked if she could interview me because she thought that I was so interesting. That's always an honor, so I was like, Yeah! I am constantly blown away by her desire to learn and grow and become the person she wants to be. She reminds me a lot of myself, eager to learn about people. Enjoy the conversation!

It's been a great season and the women I have interviewed have blown me away with who they are. Today I am ending the season with a short live show and stories around the songs. I will periodically do a live show this summer and then start up season 2 most likely in the fall. Thank you for tuning in! We've had over 1,000 listeners so far! I appreciate every one of you! Take time to go write a review and I'll be back in a few months!

This is about a first kiss that ended up being a downer (go figure). And not just any first kiss. A first kiss at 24 years old.

It's Okay is a song journey that reminds you it's alright to feel what you feel. Accept the feelings and that will help you figure out what to do next rather than feeling overwhelmed and out of control with your emotions.

Intentional Songwriting with Andrea

Songwriting has been one of the most powerful tools in my life for healing, processing emotions, and calling in the things I truly want. If there’s something in your life you’re moving through, healing from, or hoping to create more of—love, courage, peace, clarity—we can turn that intention into a song.

Primal Bod is a 12-week program that I did to drop weight and get stronger. I went from barely one pull-up to 4 from a hanging position and lost 13 pounds (and I wasn’t even following the program exactly). Brain fog, afternoon energy dips, and general feelings of unwell went away as soon as I started this program. I HIGHLY recommend.

Mazey was an inspiration. She was invited to run in a 50 miler that some friends were putting on and instead of doing 50 miles, she decided she was going to plan on 35 miles. It was a trail race at night and the most she had run in perparation for it at one time was 8 miles. She did the 35 miles and was hooked. She became more formal about her interest in running ultras and signed up for a race local to Texas where she lived in February. Her family decided to homeschool recently (before COVID19) and she feels this has given her more time to pursue her passions and find interest in running. She talks about her family, including her parents, brothers and sister, and extended family and friends who she felt were a huge support to her. She's a strong young woman and has loads of feminine will. Whether you are a parent or an adult, you'll find nuggets of wisdom from this wise 17 year old. Subscribe to get episodes every week.
