​A lot of times, being a women, you're stigmatized. It's this expectation that if you don't have a child, then there's something wrong with you or you didn't fulfill your natural destiny in life." -Kathy Moore #infertility #midlife #childless 
Kathy Moore, Laura's college friend and owner/operator of Sweet Dragonfly Bakery, called us out after we finished recording Episode 10 for focusing solely on women in midlife who have had kids and are empty nesters because there's a large portion of this population who have not had children (both by choice and by circumstance). This launched us into a very real conversation about midlife. You'll feel like you're sitting with your group of friends exploring everything from dealing with this transitional period of life to challenges with weight to pursuing once-abandoned passions. We hope you enjoy and are able to take away your own insights from our discussion.

We need to be putting our egos aside and collaborate together for the end purpose and mission. It doesn't matter who has the glory. That's irrelevant." -Melanie Childers ​@enlightenbadass

From these ashes, she began a career in coaching women to step into their confidence. Then after the 2016 Presidential Election, she found her calling: help women step into the political arena. We are honored to have had the chance to speak with Melanie and share her wisdom and insight with you. She truly is an enlightened badass.

I started out in the lower ranks so it's not about the amount of money you make, it's what you do with the money you have."
Dr. Ann James #money #womenveterans #finance
Dr. Ann James worked her way through the ranks in the U.S. Air Force from enlisted to captain, and like many enlisted personnel in the military ended up getting into lots of debt. She ended up educating herself (with a B.A., M.A. and PhD) and taking matters into her own hands to become financially free and retiring from the Air Force debt free. Now she teaches women veterans how to win the battle for their money, and giving them plans to make each dollar do a job. We were in awe about this amazing woman's story and what she's doing now to help women veterans become financially independent.

When I'm full of self love, when I know I'm loving myself, my ability to help and love others is multiplied." Sarah Krippner #selflove #vibrationalhealing #entrepreneur #podcast
Vibrational healing coach, Sarah Krippner, started out healing others to fill her inner void. When that didn't fulfill her enough, she turned to alcohol and stumbled around searching for meaning. We have a very honest discussion with Sarah about her road to recovery, the importance of embracing your emotions, and monkey butts. We're sure you'll find her story both inspirational and hopeful.

If it wasn't for all the donations I did, there's no way I would be where I am today. It all pays off in the end. It's helping someone else and it always helps me."
Jennifer DeJanes, Owner, Jenn's Cupcakes #entrepreneur 
We talk to Jennifer DeJanes who started Jenn's Cupcakes and Parties four years ago because of her mom. This reluctant entrepreneur found success by pouring her passion into stunning cakes and cupcakes that bring delight to her customers. She dishes all about the challenges and struggles, especially when it comes to pricing her delectable pieces of art. We end up having a great discussion about how so many women undervalue their work, and that we need to step up to charge what we're worth.

Anytime a woman is willing to listen to that deep voice inside that says, 'You were meant to do this thing," that gives her power."
Dr. Melissa Bird, @birdgirl1001 #feminist #badasswomen #entrepreneur 
Dr. Melissa Bird is a passionate feminist whose education in social work has led to a career advocating for children, women, and their families.  She talks with us about her journey, why we should stop saying "I'm sorry," how to say buh-bye to the Perfectionist Princess, and what makes a woman powerful. We were truly honored to talk to this bad-ass warrior for women, and we know you'll be riveted by her energy and "unapologetic" ways.
