IT'S HERE! 🎊
Click the arrow above and I’ll read this newsletter to you. 🥰
The pilot episode of The Uplifters Podcast launches today! You can subscribe for free right now on Apple Podcasts here, on Spotify here, or you can find all the episodes on my Substack here and you can watch all of the episodes on YouTube here.
The pilot is just a short introduction to our mission, but it represents something much bigger: the work of many talented people and the realization of my biggest little girl dreams. (Anyone else out there dream of being Jane Pauley when they were little?)
While this show means a whole lot to me, it is for all of us. We all have dreams we haven’t gotten to, things we want to go, see and do, but have put off because there are “more important things to do” or “it’s too late”. Through my coaching work, I am privy to extraordinary stories and some pretty mind-blowing breakthroughs and it’s always felt unfair that I’m the only one who gets to learn from these women. I try to share some of it in these newsletters, but now you’ll get to hear it for yourself every single Friday!
In the first three full episodes (starting April 7), I talk to pioneers and founders M’Lis Ward, Susie Jaramillo, and Rachel Lipson. These women have all accomplished so much, but the show won’t focus on that. It’ll focus on how they do these things.
You’ll hear first-hand how they overcome doubts and fears, how they keep going when things get tough, and how they figured out what their big purpose was. I am learning so much from them (and am relying on all of their wisdom while I do the brave work of launching this podcast).
The episodes will be packed with actionable tips and strategies, questions you can explore in your own life, laughter, tears (mostly mine), and lots of raw truth. (More on that in my upcoming episode with Susannah Ludwig and Sam France about Overcoming Good Girl Syndrome and Building Resilience.)
I’ll see you next Friday with our first full episode! Once you subscribe via Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts, you’ll automatically get episode updates, and I’ll share lots more insider views and discoveries in these weekly messages.
Sexy Breakfast Break
This was a busy week. I needed lots of nutrition and extra long-lasting protein sources that would carry me through to later lunches, so I mostly made these green smoothies: kale + pea protein + ginger + chia seeds + handful of oats (my secret ingredient for making them less acidic) + half of a banana.
What did you eat for breakfast this week?
Please join me in celebrating big dreams, courage, and lifelong learning today, and in thanking the extraordinary crew of Uplifters, including every one of you reading this message right now, who made it all possible.

I'm so proud of you! I plan to share this far and wide because you never know which of the moments will inspire even ONE person! Thank you, Aransas - for having this dream, for teaching and showing that all dreams are possible, for teaching and showing that you can change your mind and your heart and still succeed. You've been a big part of so many learning how to pivot and to shine and to lift others up!
