Season 3 Ep 16: Stop Abandoning Yourself With Wendy...

2026/04/16

You’re Not Broken — You’re Disconnected She said, “Love yourself. You’re enough.” And I felt that one land in my body before my brain could even catch up. This conversation surprised me—in the best way. I sat down with Wendy Vigdor-Hess expecting to talk about health. Nutrition. Maybe a few mindset shifts. What we actually talked about was what it costs to abandon yourself… and what it looks like to come back. Wendy’s work blends holistic health, embodiment, and shamanic pra...

2026/04/14

I didn’t expect this conversation to stay with me the way it did. It started with a simple question about clothing… and turned into something much bigger. In this episode, I sit down with Elia Barriga Polo, textile designer and founder, whose work exists at the very beginning of everything we wear. And what she shared shifted how I see something as simple as a shirt. Because this isn’t just about textiles. It’s about the way we move through life without questioning our choices— and what...

Ever feel like the path you’ve worked so hard for… just isn’t yours anymore? In this episode of Unmute Yourself, I sit down with Rachel Wagner-Kaiser—a data science and AI consultant, author, and former astronomer—to talk about the courage it takes to pivot when everything you’ve built feels like it’s on the line. Rachel’s story is incredible: from earning a PhD in astronomy to stepping into AI and data science before it became “hot,” she shows us that growth often lives in the space of doubt...

What if the thing that feels the most uncomfortable to understand… is actually the thing worth leaning into? This conversation with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys lives right at that edge. Because when we start talking about building computers using living neurons, it’s easy to jump straight to fear, assumptions, or even worst-case scenarios. But what I appreciated about Ewelina is how grounded, clear, and honest she is about what’s actually happening—and what isn’t. Ewelina is a neuroscientist and strat...

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t your circumstances… but your beliefs? What if the life you’ve been waiting for is already within reach—but your mindset is keeping you from stepping fully into it? In this episode, Courtney Confare, founder of Encoded, shares how she built a life by design by rewiring her beliefs, trusting herself, and stepping into her identity before she had all the answers. From moving to a new city knowing no one, to building a network of hundreds of women, and laun...

I didn’t expect to laugh this much in a conversation about grief. But that’s Beth. And somewhere between the humor and the heartbreak… she said something I haven’t been able to shake. In this episode, I sit down with Beth Stowell Reed — a woman whose life has been reshaped by loss, resilience, and the quiet courage to begin again. After losing her husband just months after his diagnosis, Beth had to rebuild a life she never planned for. Not in theory. In real time. What struck me most w...

2026/03/26

Jodi Wilding had a life most people would romanticize: travel, freedom, adventure. And she walked away. She chose the stable path, the path that looked right to others, and slowly… lost herself. I hear versions of this story all the time. Not because women don’t know what they want, but because they stop trusting themselves enough to go after it. This episode is about that exact moment, when you realize something’s off, and you can’t unsee it. We talk about: Losing touch with your intui...

There’s a difference between something being complicated… and something just never being explained to you properly. And I think a lot of us have been confusing the two—especially when it comes to money. This conversation clears that up in a way that feels… surprisingly simple. In this episode, I’m joined by Elsa Iris Reyes—finance expert, founder, and someone who went from not even knowing accounting was a career… to helping companies build real financial power. We talk about: Why finan...

S3E8: Patrice Shumate on Why Philanthropy Isn’t Working

Unmute Yourself ·

2026/03/19

There’s a moment in this conversation where everything shifts. Patrice Shumate says: “We don’t have a generosity problem. We have a responsibility problem.” And I just… stop. Because that reframes everything. This isn’t a polished conversation about leadership or impact. It’s an honest look at what’s happening underneath the systems we trust. Patrice has spent years working in philanthropy and social impact. What she brings here isn’t theory. It’s lived experience. It’s observation. It’s trut...

There’s a moment in leadership that no one really prepares you for. It’s when you realize people are actually paying attention to what you say. And suddenly… not speaking becomes a decision. My guest this week is Mojdeh Gharbi. She’s worked closely with senior leaders, helping shape the messages they bring into high-stakes rooms. But this conversation isn’t about perfect communication. It’s about the internal shift that happens when you decide your voice matters. We talk about: • the hesitati...

My first guest this week, Masi Willis, is a leadership coach who will make you squirm in the best way. She calls the blind spots most leaders miss “broccoli in your teeth” moments, the little things that quietly shape your team’s experience of you. Masi left a stable corporate career to start her own business with one client. Six weeks later, she signed a contract bigger than her old salary. Scary? Absolutely. But she leaned on faith, a word for the year, and a mindset of abundance to take t...

2026/03/05

Sometimes the career you planned… stops working. My guest this week, Kendra Germenis, built a path that looked solid on paper: corporate roles, program management, and a master’s degree in Human Dimensions of Organizations. Then the layoff came. What followed was a year of job offers falling apart and a growing realization that maybe the next chapter wasn’t supposed to look like the last one. Eventually she stopped fighting it. And picked up a paintbrush. In this episode, we talk about: • sha...

Sometimes clarity doesn’t come in noise. It comes in silence. In this Season 3 episode of Unmute Yourself, I speak with Soledad Mateo-Summer a talent acquisition leader, veteran advocate, and now visionary behind La Soledad, a retreat inspired by a life-altering moment under the stars in Big Bend National Park. After the passing of her mother, Soledad realized something profound: she knew how to build careers, institutions, and opportunities for others — but hadn’t fully claimed her own...

What if the trait they called “too much” is actually your leadership advantage? In this episode of Unmute Yourself, I sit down with HR and operations leader LaQuisha Scott for a candid conversation about authenticity, layoffs, leadership pressure, and separating your identity from your title. LaQuisha has led people operations in corporate and nonprofit spaces, built HR systems from the ground up, and navigated one of the toughest job markets in recent years.

Season 3 is here, and I need to be clear: This season isn’t about being louder. It’s about being truer. In this premiere episode of Unmute Yourself, I sit down with Andrea Cilliers, global disability inclusion strategist, former State Department advisor, and one of the most thoughtful leaders I know. We explore a question that stopped me in my tracks: Why are people with disabilities expected to be exceptional just to belong? This conversation goes beyond surface-level inclusion. We unpack: -...

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right and still can’t breathe? The Season 2 finale of Unmute Yourself closes with a powerful conversation about leadership, silence, and what it really means to feel whole again. Nicole Paquet shares her journey through male-dominated systems, burnout, illness, and the moment she realized the problem was never her, it was how change was being led.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kaitlynn Helm, a COO who challenges one of the most deeply rooted beliefs women carry: that we must feel worthy before we advocate for ourselves. Kaitlynn shares how she learned, often the hard way, that waiting, overthinking, and self-doubt cost real money, real energy, and real well-being. We talk about negotiating against yourself, reframing “no” as information, and why burnout isn’t a badge of honor. This conversation is about asking before you feel ready, l...

Success is supposed to feel good. So why does it so often feel exhausting? In this episode of Unmute Yourself, I’m joined by Lila Fox for a thoughtful and grounding conversation about success, burnout, and what it really means to live well. Lila’s journey spans engineering, photography, writing, and nearly 14 years of building a boutique luxury travel business, intentionally kept small, sustainable, and aligned with her values.
