Chronic stress doesn't just feel bad — it rewires your gut microbiome, tanks your sleep, and quietly undermines your ability to run a business. And most of us were raised to push through it alone. Dr. Sara Love is a licensed naturopathic physician in Oregon with 16 years of practice. She's also the founder of Lichen & Leaf, a small-batch herbal tea company she built specifically because her patients were too stressed to take a break — so she gave them something worth stopping for. In this conversation, Dr. Sara breaks down the stress-gut connection most doctors never talk about, why women solopreneurs are carrying so much of this physically and not just emotionally, and what you can actually do about it without spending money or overhauling your life. She shares her three non-negotiables for stress management: getting outside for 30 minutes a day, building a real sleep routine, and taking actual breaks — scheduled ones, on your calendar, with no screens. We also talk about the Pomodoro method, the ritual of a proper tea break, and why accepting help is a health strategy, not a character flaw. Topics covered in this episode include chronic stress and gut health, stress management for women solopreneurs, naturopathic medicine and lifestyle strategies, sleep hygiene for women over 40, time in nature as medicine, burnout prevention for solopreneurs, and building community after a life crisis.

Before you buy the mic and set up the hosting account, you need to hear this conversation. Julie Marty-Pearson has been in podcasting for nearly five years. She helps people launch shows, coaches podcast guests, and hosts three podcasts herself. She also tells people no when a podcast isn't right for them yet. That kind of honesty is exactly why this conversation matters. In this episode, we get into the real reasons people want to start podcasts, why most of them aren't ready, and what to do instead. We talk about the actual costs of launching in 2026 versus what it cost back when I started in 2014. We dig into the power of being a strategic podcast guest, how collaboration is changing the game, and why guesting might be all you ever need to move the needle in your business. We also go there on what it's like to be a woman putting her voice out in the world, dealing with trolls, bad reviews, and the freedom that comes from running out of Fs to give.

Burnout-Free Pivots for Gen X Women Solopreneurs | Arlene Cohen Miller https://kandasrodarte.com/308 Thinking about changing careers—or reshaping your business—after divorce, illness, layoffs, or other life disruptions, but terrified you'll just burn out again? This episode was made for Gen X women solopreneurs (40-60) rebuilding on their own terms, with zero bro marketing vibes. Former AV-rated attorney turned Work-Life Harmony and Leadership Coach Arlene Cohen Miller shares how she moved from the courtroom to coaching without frying her nervous system. We talk about practical experiments you can run while you still have clients and bills, how to set boundaries when you're "the glue" for everyone, and why letting yourself fail on a small scale is one of the safest ways to test a new business or career direction. If you want sustainable growth (not hustle culture), this conversation functions as business education you can actually implement: positioning your skills for a new lane, choosing the right kind of support (coach, mentor, strategist, or therapist), and designing a work rhythm that doesn't depend on burnout to be "successful."

Arlene walks us through the micro-experiments, boundaries, and inner work that allowed her to transition from law to a harmony-focused coaching practice without recreating the same burnout in a new career.

We talk about practical experiments you can run while you still have clients and bills, how to set boundaries when you're "the glue" for everyone, and why letting yourself fail on a small scale is one of the safest ways to test a new business or career direction. If you want sustainable growth (not hustle culture), this conversation functions as business education you can actually implement: positioning your skills for a new lane, choosing the right kind of support (coach, mentor, strategist, or therapist), and designing a work rhythm that doesn't depend on burnout to be "successful."

In less than two weeks, he and his wife left everything behind and moved back to the U.S. with their three‑year‑old—starting again from his parents’ basement in Kansas.​ In this conversation with host Kandas Rodarte, Peter shares how he used a “do a lot with a little” growth‑hacking mindset to rebuild from zero, and what that looks like for solopreneurs—especially women over 40—who don’t have a big team or a big ad budget. From handwritten direct‑mail campaigns and simple cold calls to testing offers with TikTok and short‑form video, Peter breaks down practical, experiment‑driven marketing that doesn’t feel like bro culture.​ You’ll also hear the human side of disruption: PTSD, identity loss when your job title disappears, cultural shock moving from Santiago to small‑town Kansas, and how niche filmmaking about CNAs and nursing homes helped Peter find new purpose and impact.

In this episode of Gratitude Geek, Kandas Rodarte and Amy Stone dive into the trends that matter most for women podcasters, especially Gen X women building sustainable, story‑driven shows. They unpack fresh data about women‑hosted podcasts, CPMs, and listener growth, then connect it to real‑world decisions about ads, networks, YouTube SEO, and how to book (and be) better guests in 2026. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why women‑hosted shows make up a minority of podcasts but over‑index on downloads and ad revenue. How Gen X women have become one of the fastest‑growing podcast listener groups—and what that means for your content and offers. What’s changed in podcasting since 2016, from indie hosting and RSS to celebrity shows, video, and “is this even a podcast?” confusion.

In this revealing conversation, Kandas sits down with licensed massage therapist and reflexologist Christie Going to discuss the holistic modalities that most doctors never mention—not because they don't work, but because they're simply not part of standard oncology training. Christie specializes in breast cancer recovery and shares practical, accessible tools including reflexology (a non-invasive foot therapy that works on all body systems), aromatherapy protocols that actually reduce nausea, and a revolutionary microcurrent device that releases scar tissue adhesions and restores your body's energy flow. This isn't about replacing medical treatment—it's about complementing it with evidence-based practices that can make your journey more bearable and your recovery more complete. Whether you're currently in treatment, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand what options exist beyond conventional care, this episode offers hope, practical guidance, and permission to advocate for your whole-body healing. What You'll Learn 🦶 Why Reflexology Surprises Everyone: Learn about this non-invasive modality that requires no disrobing and works on every system in your body—plus hand points you can use at home for shoulder pain and stress 🏥 The Cancer Care Quality Gap: Kandas shares her shocking experience with three different cancer centers and why the same diagnosis can mean vastly different treatment experiences depending on where you live 👂 The Four Ears Strategy: Why you should never go to a medical appointment alone, plus how to use AI tools like Notebook LM to record, transcribe, and analyze your doctor visits 🌿 Aromatherapy That Actually Works: The specific essential oils and protocols that helped Kandas avoid vomiting during aggressive chemotherapy (hint: it's not just peppermint) ✂️ Scar Work That Changes Lives: Discover the Dolphin Neurostim—an FDA-cleared microcurrent tool that uses acupuncture points to release adhesions, improve range of motion, and reconnect your body's energy pathways ⚡ The Vagus Nerve Secret: How this one cranial nerve affects your entire body and why three simple parasympathetic reset points can provide immediate relief 💪 Intuitive Healing Permission: Christy's empowering message that your body already knows what it needs—you just need to take baby steps and trust yourself 📋 Protocols Your Doctor Won't Know: From lymphatic massage timing to incontinence treatment to C-section scar release, learn what's actually available beyond conventional care Guest Bio Christy Going is a licensed massage therapist, reflexologist, and aromatherapist with 12 years of experience. As the owner of Going Forward Therapies in the greater Houston area, she specializes in helping women heal energetically, emotionally, and physically during breast cancer recovery. After losing her mom's best friend to breast cancer in 2008, Christie became passionate about providing the supportive care that most medical systems overlook.

On episode 289 of Gratitude Geek, I sit down with Alesia Galati of Galati Media, who helps women entrepreneurs find their voice and share it with the world. We get real about imposter syndrome, explore how gratitude and connection sustain a podcasting journey, and celebrate marginalized voices in literature. If you're a Gen X woman entrepreneur rebuilding after a major life disruption, this conversation about telling your story and building community is for you. What You'll Learn: How podcasting builds connection, community, and confidence for women entrepreneurs Strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome and trusting your voice Using gratitude as daily fuel for creative work Supporting marginalized voices through storytelling Setting realistic expectations while staying authentic to your values Gen X women entrepreneurs face unique challenges. We're navigating ageism in industries that prioritize youth, battling funding bias that compounds existing gender disparities, and managing the pressures of the sandwich generation while caring for both children and aging parents. The mental load of juggling business responsibilities alongside caregiving can lead to burnout and adrenal fatigue. Many of us struggle with a fierce sense of self-reliance that makes delegation difficult. We try to do everything ourselves, which increases stress and slows business growth. Imposter syndrome hits harder when we're already fighting against assumptions that we're less adaptable or relevant. This episode addresses these realities head-on, offering practical wisdom for women rebuilding after cancer, divorce, loss, or other major life disruptions.

In episode 281 of the Gratitude Geek podcast, I sit down with entrepreneur and cancer thriver Deb Krier for a candid conversation about living with Stage 4 breast cancer while still showing up for your clients, your business, and yourself. Deb and I skip the glossy “fight hard” clichés. We talk about the real stuff: nerve damage, port disasters, chemo fog, and all the unsolicited miracle cures strangers fling your way. We also talk about rebuilding a business in the middle of treatments, setbacks, and a body that doesn’t always cooperate. Sometimes we paused. Sometimes we powered through. And we both found new ways to work, lead, and stay human through the chaos. This is the episode I wish I had when I was first diagnosed. It’s part support group, part strategy session, part redhead sass. In This Episode: • What “working through cancer” actually looks like • Therapies and tools that genuinely help • How to choose what to keep, delegate, or drop in your business • Staying visible when your body is falling apart • Why boundaries stop being optional • Deb’s philosophy: “You’re the boss.

We break down why clarity, not just cash, is the real secret weapon for solopreneurs. Ahuva shares her journey from childhood wig sales and candy hustles to becoming a trusted CFO for growing businesses.

We dive into Fletcher’s signature framework from his book The Practice of Feeling Good — and unpack how fear is often just a story. Fletcher shares how to identify the root of that fear, reframe it, and begin practicing a new, empowering narrative. You’ll also learn why “feeling good” is a daily practice, not a personality trait or privilege.

This week, I sit down with my friend, Mira Dessy, a board-certified nutrition educator and holistic health expert, to explore the powerful connection between what we eat, how we think, and our overall well-being. Get ready to be inspired and empowered as we dive into topics ranging from mindful eating to building a resilient, real-food pantry. About Mira Dessy: Mira is a passionate nutrition educator, known as the "Ingredient Guru," and is a board-certified member of several leading holistic health associations. She helps people understand the importance of whole-food nutrition and encourages a more mindful approach to health. Key Topics & Takeaways: The Holistic Approach: We explore how holistic health combines traditional medicine with natural and mindful practices, emphasizing that true wellness isn't just about treating symptoms but understanding the whole person. Food as Fuel (and Medicine): Discover how food can be a powerful tool for healing and supporting your body's natural functions, moving beyond restrictive diets to a place of mindful nourishment. Mindful Eating: Mira shares practical techniques for eating more mindfully, including how to calm your nervous system and improve digestion by engaging the senses, eating slowly, and eliminating distractions. Self-Reliance & Preparedness: We discuss creating a "preparedness pantry" filled with real food that will sustain you during any emergency. Learn what foods to prioritize, how to prepare your supplies, and the vital importance of having access to clean, potable water. Homeostasis and Bio-individuality: Understanding what works for you, and what doesn't, is a key element to learning about homeostasis. You’ll discover that your body has an amazing ability to regulate itself if given the proper tools. Actionable Tips & Highlights: Mindfulness: Start with a simple daily mindfulness practice focused on food. Before eating, take three deep breaths, engage your senses, eat slowly, and minimize distractions. Notice how you feel after your meal. Real Food Choices: Begin to examine the ingredients of your food. Make more intentional choices that include whole, unprocessed foods. Look for food with shorter ingredient lists and more whole ingredients. Preparedness Pantry: Make a plan to begin stocking a "preparedness pantry" with shelf-stable, real foods. Focus on protein sources, vegetables, cooking oils, and spices. Remember to start small and build over time. Water: Everyone should have a way to make water potable in case of an emergency. Bio-Individuality: Make an appointment with a qualified professional who can help you determine your own deficiencies so that you can learn what you need to help your own body work correctly.

One day when she was fourteen, her parents told her two sisters and Kim they were getting divorced, and her mother would gain full custody. They were poor and she received government-assisted school lunches. That red ticket was a measurement, a standard of comparison.

She has been profiled in several publications including the Wall Street Journal. Kim has attained numerous professional designations and been recognized by the financial planning industry as having achieved the highest level of competence and expertise.

Kim has an exciting story to share. She grew up in a small, rural farming community in upstate New York. One day when she was fourteen, her parents told her two sisters and Kim they were getting divorced, and her mother would gain full custody. They were poor and she received government-assisted school lunches. That red ticket was a measurement, a standard of comparison. It set her apart at school, made her feel less deserving, and was the beginning of my anxiety around the scarcity of money. Her money story is pretty fascinating.

In 2014 I had the privilege of interviewing Ann Fonfa. Ann was the founder of the Annie Appleseed Project and the Complementary and Alternative Cancer Therapies Conference. Ann was a 32 year breast cancer survivor who championed research, development and implementation of alternative and complementary cancer therapies. Sadly, Ann passed away in February of 2024. Ann taught me to advocate for my own health. She also taught me that my metastatic breast cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Her specific kind of subconscious coaching helps people expand their subconscious beliefs from what is limiting or self-sabotaging, to empowering, helping people feel empowered as the creators of their lives. Krishna is passionate about helping people heal from past trauma and stress, break free from limiting patterns, and grow and expand in all areas of their lives.

Marketing CEO Paige Arnof-Fenn walked away from a six-figure contract—and never looked back. In episode 196 of Gratitude Geek Podcast, Paige shares the jaw-dropping story of firing a client who wouldn't say two simple words: "thank you." As CEO of Mavens & Moguls, working with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, and The New York Times, Paige has built her entire business philosophy around one core principle: "I talked about having a no jerks policy both internally and externally. I didn't want team members who were a pain in the butt and I didn't want to work for clients who were jerks either." But this conversation goes far beyond that pivotal moment. We explore what real success looks like after 40 (spoiler: it's not your bank account), how Paige's journey from Wall Street banker to Harvard MBA to accidental entrepreneur taught her that careers only make sense looking backward, and why your online presence can make or break your business in 2025. You'll discover the fascinating evolution of market research from 12-month focus groups at Procter & Gamble to same-day customer feedback loops at startups, the hidden insights from a teenage focus group that changed how P&G understood its customers, and how "Mavens & Moguls" went from placeholder name to unforgettable brand through smart market research. Paige breaks down practical strategies including newsjacking on a budget, why micro-influencers matter more than celebrities for small businesses, the marketing fundamentals that still deliver results, and how to build authentic influence that creates win-win partnerships. This episode is for women solopreneurs over 40 who are ready to build businesses on their own terms—where gratitude matters, values aren't negotiable, and success means having the freedom to live the life you actually want.

Steve Buzogany is here to tell you why. As founder of The Appreciation Advocate, Steve has helped countless service-based businesses fix their client appreciation strategy. After selling nearly $100 million in real estate himself, he learned what most agents and entrepreneurs get wrong. The bottle of champagne at closing. The branded pen. The generic gift card. These gifts aren't building relationships. They're sliding you into obscurity. In this conversation, Steve reveals the three ways gift-giving deceives you, why you need to "attack the kitchen," and how to collect juice so your gifts actually matter to the people receiving them. What You'll Learn: The three ways gift-giving deceives you (and costs referrals) Why branded promotional items poison relationships The kitchen strategy that creates 20 daily impressions How to "collect juice" about your clients The bad gift list (flowers, food, events, and why they fail) About Steve Buzogany: Steve Buzogany is a lifetime entrepreneur and founder of The Appreciation Advocate. He sold nearly $100M in real estate and was among the top 10% of agents in the United States. Now he helps small businesses generate more referrals through strategic, thoughtful gift-giving.

That's the networking secret Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI with 290,000+ members, shares in this game-changing conversation. Dr. Misner explains why most people get networking completely wrong by treating it as face-to-face cold calling when it should be relationship farming. He breaks down the VCP process (visibility, credibility, profitability) that turns strangers into consistent referral sources and reveals why you should never go to a networking meeting to make a sale. Called the father of modern networking by CNN, Dr. Misner grew BNI from zero to 10,000+ chapters in 76 countries. He shares his "Brody moment" when he realized he'd need a bigger boat and calculated that BNI could reach 10,000 chapters when he only had 30 groups. You'll learn the time confidence curve that explains why some professions take three months to get referrals while others need two years, the Four C's of networking (competence, credibility, clarity, connectivity), and why your network needs to be deep in places, not just a mile wide and an inch shallow. Dr. Misner shares the Butterfly Effect story of how one BNI introduction led to eight more connections that eventually put him on Necker Island with Richard Branson. He reveals the martial arts principle "perfect practice makes perfect" and how it applies to business consistency. The episode covers the future of hybrid and holographic networking, why gratitude is backed by Harvard and Yale science, and the critical advice to do six things a thousand times instead of a thousand things six times. Perfect for women solopreneurs over 40 rebuilding after life disruptions who need proven relationship marketing strategies that generate business without cold calling.

A few weeks back, Di graciously took the reins of our Thursday morning Marketing Toolbox training while I was in Nantucket and did a brilliant job of explaining the thought process of creating a brand. And when my sound suddenly shorted out during Marketing Toolbox this past Thursday, she once again saved the day by facilitating until I could work around the issue. Thank you, Di!

And oh eh, eh oh... if you want to learn how to use Canva and other tools, Marketing Toolbox Training is super fun... join us any Thursday at 11 am Eastern. Register at MomGeek.com/toolbox for the zoom link.

And that is this week's moment of gratitude.

Well, there you have it! Thanks for joining us this week on Gratitude Geek | A relationship marketing podcast for micropreneurs. today's show notes are at http://MomGeek.com/102 including a link to subscribe to this show on iTunes, Stitcher, audible, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Or rather, a retro brand. Let me ‘splain. Episode 1 of the Gratitude Geek podcast went live on January 1, 2014. It was a conversation with an organizing professional about how New Year’s Resolutions are a very bad idea. Podcasting seemed like a great next step after hosting a YouTube talk show called Coffee, Cards & Conversations where I interviewed business owners in a local coffee shop about how they use greeting cards in their marketing plan. If you are a long-time listener, you already know the rest of the story. For new listeners, here’s the short version. Just 3 months after launching the weekly podcast, I was told an aggressive tumor had invaded my right breast. I name the tumor Bertha and went to work kicking her out. Bertha didn’t deter me from podcasting! We even launched a second show, called Handmade in Texas! That one didn’t quite take off, though. And then, in September of 2015, we learned that Bertha had metastasized to my left lung and treatment started all over again. This time, chemo was brutal, leaving me unable to walk unassisted for several days after treatment. So, I had to slow down a bit. We continued to record both the talk show and the podcast sporadically until 2017 when we moved to Michigan to retire (said in air quotes). Then the pandemic hit and as the world was in limbo I realized I missed podcasting. I rebooted and rebranded to Be Who you Want to Be: You Business, Your Life. And now 58 episodes later, I realize the rebrand wasn’t necessarily the best idea for the kind of show I want to put out into the world. While I’ve very much enjoyed the amazing conversations I’ve had over the past 18 months, I know I can do better. So I’m reclaiming Gratitude Geek! Going forward this show is all about gratitude… gratitude in our lives, gratitude in our businesses, and gratitude in the messages we tell the world. You’ve heard me say it before, Gratitude is like manure, it’s just a pile of crap until you spread it around! I hope you’ll join me on my mission to spread gratitude, sow seeds of appreciation and harvest a bounty of generosity and kindness. Moment of Gratitude Huge shout out to Soul Lily, the singer-songwriter from Conroe, Texas who so graciously allowed me to use her songs “What are We Waiting For” and “Never Give Up” as my theme music for all these many years. Stick and around for a few minutes and enjoy the full studio versions of both songs. And be sure to check the show notes at MomGeek.com/100 for a link to follow SoulLily on Soundcloud.

For Janine Kelbach, a registered nurse and labor and delivery veteran, the answer was freelance writing — and eventually, building a whole business teaching other nurses to do the same thing. In this episode, Janine walks through the full journey: the night shifts, the burnout, the pit bull bite that became the last straw, and the $5 Fiverr articles that started it all. She talks about how she built her freelance writing business from scratch with no writing background, grew it into an agency model, and created Savvy Nurse Writer to help other nurses make the same transition. We also get into virtual networking — how the pandemic actually made it easier for Janine to hit her networking goals than in-person events ever did, two free communities worth checking out on LinkedIn (Happy Networking and Lunch Club), and how she uses ClickUp to break her big annual goals down into something she can actually act on every day. If you've ever looked at your career and thought there has to be something else, this one's for you.

KEY TOPICS: • Character-driven storytelling and deep point-of-view experiences • Overcoming sexism and racism in the entertainment industry • The importance of honest creative feedback • Writing stories that help us understand ourselves • Moving forward after devastating loss • Building a career through networking and persistence ABOUT DIANA DRU BOTSFORD: Diana Dru Botsford is a story consultant and writer/producer whose work includes creating and producing the critically acclaimed sci-fi web series "Epilogue" and serving as consulting producer on the comedy series "A Little Help."
