Today's guest is Linda Perry, and her story of transitioning from a high-powered legal career to following her true calling is both inspiring and refreshingly real. Spoiler alert: self discovery ain't all sunshine and rainbows, but that's kind of the whole point. We rapped about recognizing our ingrained thought patterns and why mindset work is never really done. Grab a glass of wine (or three) and get ready for a conversation that'll leave you pumped to kick some serious ass.

Can't-Miss Moments:

• The surprising reason new habits and routines might not be sticking (hint: how you're thinking about them makes a huge difference)...
  
  
• Spoiler alert: much like house and car maintenance, mindset isn't a "one and done" fix. Linda has some insights on how to make it part of your regular practice...
  
  
• Talking to myself is... normal? Linda and I have a fascinating conversation about casually chatting with the voices in our heads (it's probably not what you're thinking)...
  
  
• Saber-toothed tigers vs. cyber-toothed tigers: Linda breaks down her simple mindset shift for combatting fear when it's got you paralyzed in place...
  
  
• The worst question you can ask yourself if you want to solve problems (and what to ask instead in order to actually fix things)...

Strange question, but hear me out: ever feel lonely on this entrepreneurial journey? I think you're going to love today's episode with human connection expert, Unni Turrettini. She's got some surprising and insightful takes one why this whole biz-building thing can be so freaking hard. If you feel like you're floundering and can't share your struggles for fear of looking weak... this one's for you.

Can't-miss moments:

• "Nobody wants to talk about loneliness..." the blunt (and frankly wrong) feedback Unni got from the first few events she spoke at, and what kept her motivated to keep speaking...
  
  
• Angie rant alert: kicking off the show inside the first ten minutes with a rant about comparing pain and telling people they don't get to complain (my take might actually surprise you)
  
  
• Let's set this unspoken fear on fire: "If I'm feeling lonely and I'm struggling, then it means I failed." Unni has a powerful message that will help you reframe your relationship with loneliness, power, and business...
  
  
• Unni's badass advice on how to shut down that inner critic telling you 'who do you think you are?' - a must-hear for anyone wanting to stop playing small...
  
  
• STOP STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S JOY (you have to listen to get it - and start asking for help, too!)

If I could sum this episode up, I'd tell you to let go of expectations and embrace experimentation. Fortunately, this episode with the incredible Cara Steinmann cannot be easily compartmentalized. Join us for an ADHD rabbit hole about energy management, recreating a job you hate (cleverly disguised as your business), trying to be what people expect, and more. If you've ever struggled with finding yourself or your "thing" in business, this one's for you.

Can't-Miss Moments:

• Starting off strong with a good ol' fashioned Angie rant: YOU ARE NOT YOUR MONEY. YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. You are worthy and awesome because you ARE, not because you DO.
  
  
• Cara's "oh shit" moment that led her to burn down her business and start from scratch at 40 (and how to recognize if you're on the same path)...
  
  
• One of my favorite show quotes ever comes courtesy of Cara: “Maybe I can just do whatever the fuck I want on those days…”
  
  
• Choosing between rest and the to-do list: how Cara and I discovered our non-negotiables and developed the confidence to stick to them (even when it might disappoint clients and customers)...
  
  
• What I did when I discovered a competitor had basically the exact same offer to the one I'd been secretly building for almost a year (my reaction might surprise you)...

Cara's bio:

Cara Steinmann helps women entrepreneurs build relationships that lead to more collaboration, visibility, and fun. Founder of the Ravel Collective and host of the Ravel Radio podcast, Cara inspires women to forge meaningful connections that positively impact their personal and professional lives.

She believes the collective power of women is the key to dismantling systems of oppression and has made it her mission to remove the obstacles that keep women separate, so they can build more wealth and amplify their impact together.
