What if future you could sit across from you with a cocktail and tell you what she REALLY thinks about your choices? Julie and Yvonne are talking about regret-proofing your life—not avoiding mistakes, but making sure fear, overthinking, and other people’s opinions aren't calling the shots. Because sometimes the biggest regret isn’t what went wrong. It’s what you never gave yourself permission to try. Future you has opinions, ladies. And she's not holding back!  Join our Sisterhood & the convers...

What if you’re not lazy… you’re avoiding something for a reason? In this episode, Julie and Yvonne dig into what might really be hiding underneath avoidance—fear, overwhelm, perfectionism, misalignment, or maybe the fact that you just don’t want the damn thing anymore. We’re talking productive procrastination, screwing over your future self, and one question that might change everything: Is this discomfort I need to move through—or information I need to listen to? Stop judging yourself. Get curi...

Difficult conversations aren’t scary because you “can’t handle them” — they’re scary because your inner critic is running her mouth, overthinking every angle, and convincing you the worst‑case scenario is basically guaranteed. In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down why hard conversations feel so damn heavy, how fear and perfectionism hijack your confidence, and why waiting to “feel ready” is the fastest way to stay stuck. You’ll learn how to shut down the mental drama, stop comparing your ...

Confidence isn’t something you wake up with — it’s something you build! In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down the science of confidence, why women often wait to “feel ready,” and how overthinking, comparison, and perfectionism quietly erode momentum.

If you’re ready to stop performing confidence and start building it, t...

That woman who looks like she has all her shit together? Yeah…you might not know the half of it. Recorded live at The Edit by Elaine Turner during a Sip & Shop benefiting Power of the Purse, the annual event hosted by The Women’s Resource, Julie & Yvonne talk comparison, judgment, fabulous purses—and the stories we make up about women based on what we see. Because polished doesn’t mean problem-free. This one is about getting curious instead of judging, dropping the mean-girl shit, and rememberin...

Season 3 was basically one long intervention for accomplished women. In this episode we unpacked old identities, over-functioning, self-doubt, visibility, busy bullshit—and our complicated relationship with the word success. So for our Season 3 finale, we’re looking back at the biggest truth bombs, what we’ve learned ourselves, and one question for your next chapter: What do you need to release, trust, and redefine? Because maybe you don’t need to become more. Maybe it’s time to leave some shit ...

Your inner critic has opinions — loud ones. She thinks you’re too much, not enough, unqualified, behind, and one bad decision away from ruining your entire life… but girl, she’s drunk. In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down why that inner voice feels so convincing, how she weaponizes old evidence, and why we keep handing her the keys. They unpack the psychology behind imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear disguised as “responsibility,” and offer practical shifts to put your values, pu...

What if your next move doesn’t require another spreadsheet, five-year plan, or perfectly logical answer? In this episode, Julie & Yvonne get into the spiritual side of success—intuition, energy, faith, purpose, and those little whispers we’re really good at ignoring.

Head over to our Savvy Sisters and Cocktail C...

In this Savvy Sisters & Cocktail Conversations episode, Julie & Yvonne unpack the invisible weight so many women carry—the mental load, emotional labor, expectations, work, family, and everyone else’s problems. They get into why overwhelm can become part of our identity, why asking for help can feel so hard, and how to start deciding what is—and isn’t—yours to carry.

Women don’t get stuck because we’re unmotivated — we get stuck because fear, perfectionism, regret, and old identity quietly run the show. In this episode, Julie and Yvonne break down the real reasons brilliant women freeze, why waiting for certainty keeps you looping, and how perfectionism disguises itself as “being responsible.” They also unpack the power of having a North Star — a clear anchor for your values and direction — so your decisions stop coming from old identity and start coming fro...

In this SSCC episode, Julie & Yvonne get real about the role nobody prepares us for: caring for aging parents while still managing careers, families, relationships—and ourselves.

In this SSCC episode, Julie & Yvonne unpack the stories we create about other women—whether we’ve never met them, just met them, or have known them for years. From confidence and appearance to social media posts and everyday behavior, we can quickly turn an observation into an assumption about who she is or what she intended. But what if the story isn’t true? This conversation challenges us to separate facts from assumptions, recognize our own triggers, and replace judgment with curiosity. Becau...

If you’ve ever believed a thought just because it showed up in your mind… well, this episode is your wake‑up call. Julie and Yvonne break down metacognition — the grown‑woman power move of thinking about your thinking — and why it’s the secret sauce behind better leadership, better decisions, and a better relationship with yourself. They expose how old stories, mental shortcuts, and unchecked thoughts run your life on autopilot… and they teach you how to pause, question, and flip the script. Thi...

“Busy” has become the most overused, over‑glorified word in a woman’s vocabulary — and Julie and Yvonne are done with it. In this episode, they unpack how “busy” turned into a badge of honor, an identity armor, and a socially acceptable way of saying our lives are running us instead of us leading them. They dive into why exhaustion has become normalized, how busyness masks avoidance and misalignment, and why so many high‑achieving women tie their worth to productivity instead of clarity, boundar...

You don't need a fancy title to be a leader. Julie & Yvonne unpack why influence matters more than authority, why so many women underestimate their leadership, and how to confidently own the impact they're already making.

In this episode, Julie and Yvonne call out the moment every high‑achieving woman eventually hits: when “being exceptional” stops feeling empowering and starts feeling identity‑tired. They break down the emotional fatigue behind always outperforming, proving, and being the woman who never drops the ball. They expose how women confuse being needed with being valued, how corporate and cultural norms reward overfunctioning, and how other expectations (societal, culture, etc) stack until you’re drown...

This episode calls out the quiet crisis so many high‑achieving women are living through: you’ve optimized your life to perfection… but you never actually designed it. Yvonne and Julie dive straight into the truth bomb — you can color‑code the calendar, crush the goals, run the routines, and still wake up thinking, “Why does my life look so good on paper but feel so flat in my body?” Because somewhere along the way, women became world‑class operators of lives they never intentionally chose. Exper...
