A Superwoman Handbook

In this powerful episode of A White Collar Wife, Gillian Utesch shares a deeply personal story from one of the most turbulent moments of her divorce. When legal systems failed and chaos threatened her safety, an unexpected ally stepped in—her local sheriff’s department. Gillian recounts the night she was nearly locked out of her own home, and how law enforcement became a critical line of protection when everything else seemed to fall apart. Through honest reflection, she explores the importance of community support, resilience, and the courage it takes to ask for help during moments of crisis. What began as a frightening experience became a reminder that safety doesn’t always come from systems—but from people willing to show up and do what’s right. This episode highlights how strength can emerge even in uncertainty, and how support can come from the most unexpected places. Sometimes, when everything feels like it’s falling apart, the right people step in at the right time.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this revealing episode of A White Collar Wife, Gillian Utesch reflects on the striking contrast between two marriages—and how each one ended in completely different ways. She shares the story of her first divorce, a quiet and respectful separation that, while brief, left a lasting impact on how she views relationships, boundaries, and self-awareness. In contrast, she opens up about the emotional complexity of a later marriage that unfolded very differently—marked by conflict, tension, and difficult lessons. Through raw and honest storytelling, Gillian explores the subtle signs she overlooked, the importance of trusting your instincts, and how past experiences can shape how you navigate future relationships. From small but meaningful moments—like signing divorce papers in unexpected places—to the deeper realization of what it means to walk away with dignity, this episode highlights the power of self-respect, clarity, and growth. Sometimes, it’s not just how a relationship ends—but what it teaches you about yourself.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this deeply personal episode of A White Collar Wife, Gillian Utesch reflects on the quiet unraveling of her marriage—and the realization that the disconnection didn’t happen all at once. Through raw and honest storytelling, she shares how emotional distance, blurred boundaries, and unmet needs slowly created a life that no longer felt aligned. What began as small shifts turned into something much deeper—an “affair with herself,” where she sought peace, validation, and escape outside of her relationship. Gillian opens up about navigating family dynamics, internal conflict, and the moments that forced her to confront the truth about what she was feeling—and what she had been avoiding. This episode highlights the importance of self-awareness, emotional boundaries, and recognizing when something in your life is no longer sustainable. Sometimes, the hardest realization isn’t what someone else did—but what we’ve allowed ourselves to live without.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this powerful episode of A White Collar Wife, Gillian Utesch opens up about navigating a high-conflict divorce and the emotional, mental, and financial toll it took on her life. What she once believed would be a straightforward process quickly turned into something far more complex—an experience that felt less like moving forward and more like being caught in the middle of a storm. Through honest and raw storytelling, Gillian shares the confusion, frustration, and heartbreak that defined this chapter, including the realities of mediation and the realization that resolution was never truly the goal. She reflects on the strength it takes to endure prolonged conflict, the role of community and faith during moments of crisis, and how this experience ultimately led her to speak out about white-collar domestic violence and the need for greater awareness. Sometimes, clarity doesn’t come before the storm—but in the middle of it.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this intense and deeply unsettling story from A White Collar Wife, Gillian Utesch shares how one decision—opening her home during a vulnerable season—quickly spiraled into chaos. What began as an attempt to find companionship and stability after a difficult chapter turned into a situation filled with unpredictability, delusion, and emotional strain. From late-night behavior to fabricated accusations and escalating tension, Gillian found herself navigating a reality she never expected. As the situation worsened, it became clear that this wasn’t just about a difficult roommate—it was about confronting serious mental health challenges, setting boundaries, and protecting her own peace while everything else in her life was already in turmoil. This episode sheds light on the difference between empathy and self-preservation, the importance of recognizing warning signs, and the strength it takes to step away from situations that are no longer safe. Sometimes, helping someone can cost you your peace—and knowing when to walk away is the real power.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this heartfelt episode, we explore what it truly means to be a “girl dad” — and why protecting your daughter isn’t enough. It’s about teaching her how to protect herself. Patrick Reid shares honest reflections on fatherhood, from building trust and safety to showing up with affirmation, humor, and vulnerability. He opens up about navigating stereotypes, redefining masculinity, and raising a daughter with strength rooted in confidence—not fear. Natalie Reid offers her perspective on what she values most in her dad, revealing how intentional connection, respect, and shared passions have shaped her self-esteem and independence. Together, they unpack the importance of listening over fixing, encouraging exploration while setting healthy boundaries, and teaching self-protection through love rather than control. Every girl deserves a father who sees her beyond appearances, challenges expectations, and leads with both kindness and strength. Parenting isn’t about guarding her from the world — it’s about preparing her to walk through it with confidence.   Connect with Gillian: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gumoney/ Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com   Listen & Subscribe: Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.   Join my email community via my website to receive tools, inspirational stories, and full show-note breakdowns.

In this episode, I sit down with the unforgettable Kristen MF Clark to talk about the first step every “superwoman” must take: bravery. Not the shiny, filtered version—but the kind that shows up with shaky hands and a full heart. Kristen invites us to drop the mask, stand by ourselves 100%, and choose freedom over approval. From the “f-it 50s” to a year of nomading across the West (yes, including a spiritual moment at Devils Tower), she reminds us that life keeps moving—and so do we. We get to the other side of flat tires, tech glitches, and tax dread. And when fear gets loud, we borrow Kristen’s favorite question: “But did you die?” Somehow, we’re still here—wiser, softer, stronger. What I love most about Kristen is her permission slip to be fully human: to feel the tremble and still go, to love our ego as the engine of courage, and to flip our “frequency” in a single breath. If you’ve tried to “high-vibe” your way through everything and wound up exhausted, this conversation is your exhale. You are not caged. You are more enormous than you’ve been told. Today, let’s choose unapologetic—messy, magnificent, you. Because the world doesn’t need another copy; it needs your original.

Today’s episode of A Superwoman Handbook is a truly one-of-a-kind experience. I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Helen Meurs—educator, author, and self-described "puppetologist"—who has spent over 30 years using puppets in the most surprising and powerful way: not for performance, but for healing. Helen shares how she went from being a teacher trying to reach withdrawn students, to discovering that a simple puppet could become a trusted friend, an “enlightened witness,” and a bridge to unlock the stories children are often too afraid to tell adults. We talk about how trust, not technique, is the secret sauce, and how building a relationship—puppet to child—creates space for empathy, truth, and growth. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a therapist, or just someone who wants to understand kids (and maybe your own inner child) better, this episode is for you. Helen explains how puppets create a judgment-free zone where children can share freely, and how she now trains professionals worldwide to use this relational puppetry approach. And yes, you’ll get to meet her puppet Yane, who had me wanting to share my feelings too by the end! This conversation is tender, creative, and deeply moving. We’re talking trauma healing, imagination, and the quiet magic of simply being there. Helen doesn’t just work with puppets—she works with hearts.

Today’s episode is one you’ll want to sit with—and maybe even listen to twice. We’re joined by Olivia Caggiano, a radiant soul and walking testimony to the truth that healing is possible. At just 25, she’s already walked a road many don’t even imagine in a lifetime—from sudden, chronic pain that left her bedridden at 16, to a decade-long search for answers, diagnoses, and hope. Her story is raw, layered, and deeply moving. We talk about what it’s like to lose your independence, your identity, and your sense of safety in your own body—and how, through yoga, nervous system regulation, and deep self-work, she found her way back to herself. But this isn’t just about pain or illness—it’s about transformation. Olivia breaks open the connection between trauma and chronic illness, the failures of traditional medicine, and how embodiment work gave her life back. We talk about navigating relationships, shedding emotional armor, and the quiet power of having someone simply sit with you in your pain. This one’s for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misdiagnosed, or like their story didn’t matter. Olivia reminds us that we are not broken—and that healing isn’t only possible, it’s our birthright.

In this powerful and deeply heartfelt episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with the remarkable Regina Hiremath—a woman whose story is as inspiring as it is raw. Regina shares her courageous journey through layers of childhood trauma, domestic abuse, and emotional battles that followed her into adulthood. From losing her first caretaker at a young age, to enduring instability, abuse, and a decades-long marriage marked by narcissism and manipulation, Regina’s story is a testimony to resilience. With striking honesty, she walks us through what it was like to feel trapped, emotionally stripped, and afraid to ask for help—even as she lived behind the wheel of luxury vehicles and within the walls of a beautiful home. But this episode is not just about pain—it’s about power. Regina shares the pivotal moment she hit rock bottom, the steps she took to reclaim her life, and how she built a new path rooted in therapy, self-reflection, and storytelling. She founded Alimony of Life, a divorce blog turned healing hub for survivors, complete with a private support community, resources, and motivational tools.

When I think of the phrase “you can’t make new old friends,” my mind goes straight to Emily Reed. What started as a friendship through her husband Patrick (who’s been like a lifelong life coach to me) quickly turned into one of the most meaningful, soul-nourishing relationships of my life. Emily is the surprise gift that came with the friendship package—and as you’ll hear in this episode, she’s so much more than a plus one. Her journey from North Carolina to Portugal is filled with courage, clarity, and a fierce love for her family. It’s a story that made me laugh, cry, and reimagine what bravery looks like in the quiet, everyday decisions that change our lives forever. Emily doesn’t hold back—she never does. With her signature humor and raw honesty, she shares how a dream to live abroad evolved into a life-saving decision rooted in love, advocacy, and listening to her inner knowing. Whether you’ve considered starting over somewhere new, navigating a health crisis, or simply wondered if you’re allowed to want more—Emily’s story is for you. This conversation reminded me that bravery doesn’t always look like bold leaps—it can look like 74-page PowerPoint decks, grocery store victories, and a little girl learning that home can be anywhere her heart is safe. You’re in for a powerful one.   Connect with me: LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/gumoney   Website: http://brokenglassceilingmarketing.com  Subscribe to A Superwoman’s Handbook on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this deeply moving episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sat down with Debbie Simmons—a powerhouse of faith, resilience, and vulnerability. A mom of nine, grandma to fifteen, and founder of the nonprofit Anchor Point, Debbie walked us through the sacred detour her heart took in the studio. What started as a planned conversation shifted into a raw and powerful testimony of grief, stress, healing, and the incredible strength it takes to trust God—even when the path is blurred by pain, trauma, or the ache of uncertainty. From infertility and loss to staph infections and shingles, Debbie shares how God continually met her at the intersection of brokenness and breakthrough. Debbie’s story is more than inspiring—it’s a wake-up call to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves: Are we surviving… or truly thriving? Her journey reminds us that stress whispers, speaks, and eventually yells through our bodies, and unless we listen, we risk running ourselves empty. Whether you're a mother, a leader, or someone simply trying to hold it all together, this conversation is for you.

This week on A Superwoman Handbook, I sat down with the incredible Klári Ganter—a mom of three, coach, and founder of mompire.eu, who’s helping mothers around the world reclaim their professional identity and step into careers that actually fit their lives. Klári takes us through her deeply personal journey—from climbing the corporate ladder in Hungary to launching her dream pastry shop, and ultimately, letting go of that dream for the sake of something even more powerful: her family. Her story is rich with the kind of wisdom that only comes from real-life pivots, painful sacrifices, and brave decisions that don’t always make sense from the outside—but make all the difference on the inside. Klári’s mission is to help women move beyond overwhelm and into intentional action. She breaks down her strategic approach to helping moms navigate career transitions, design sustainable lives, and be the role models they want to be for their kids. Whether it’s scaling back from a leadership role, shifting into entrepreneurship, or simply finding fifteen minutes a day to dream again—Klári shows us it is possible.

In this incredibly raw and liberating episode of A Superwoman’s Handbook, I sit down with the amazing Cari Rickabaugh, and what unfolded during our conversation left me speechless more than once. Cari bravely opens up about her journey through decades of deep trauma, the power of telling her truth publicly, and the beautiful, life-changing wisdom she’s discovered in the tiniest word: “and.” Together, we unpack how embracing the idea that two things can be true at the same time can break the shackles of black-and-white thinking and invite so much more grace, freedom, and possibility into our lives. Cari shares how her motto—Do it scared—has carried her through terrifying but transformational moments, from telling her story on stage to literally plunging into icy Lake Michigan! This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you can hold space for your past and your future, your fear and your courage. May this episode plant the seed of “and” in your heart today—and may you feel inspired to water it with compassion for yourself as you grow.

On this episode of A Superwoman Handbook, we meet Trista—a true modern-day humanitarian whose journey has taken her to 78 countries and some of the world’s most challenging regions. From dreaming of joining the Peace Corps as a Canadian schoolgirl to working with the UN in Angola, Kosovo, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Iraq, and beyond, Trista shares an inspiring story of courage, resilience, and what it means to embrace a life far from “normal.” She opens up about the realities of humanitarian aid work, the toll it can take, and the power of listening to your own truth even when the world tells you to settle down. Now back in Canada, Trista has turned her decades of global experience into transformational coaching for women in midlife transitions. She reveals the universal struggle many women face—believing they’re doing life “wrong”—and how her five-part framework helps them rewrite their story, manage their mind, feel intentionally, and build unshakeable self-worth. If you’ve ever felt stuck, different, or ready to choose your own daring adventure, this episode is your permission slip to do exactly that.

In today’s episode of A Superwoman Handbook, we sit down with an inspiring guest whose bravery story is a gentle, necessary reminder that you are not lazy, stupid, or broken — no matter what the world tries to convince you of. She takes us back to her 15-year-old self, sharing how growing up in a paycheck-to-paycheck household shaped her need for safety and a steady paycheck, and how that same girl eventually found the courage to rewrite her own story. From a devoted teacher to a multi-published romance author and now the heart behind E.F. Bomb Coach, she reminds us that stepping outside the “safe and certain” box is not reckless, but radical self-trust in action. We laugh about gray hair bravery, motherhood chaos, planners that never quite fit, and the unapologetic freedom that comes from building life on your own terms — messy, imperfect, and wildly authentic. If you’ve ever wrestled with the fear of failing in front of others or felt crushed by silent expectations to “do it all,” this conversation is for you. She walks us through the real, unfiltered process of trial and error — showing us how to fail fabulously, pivot courageously, and model resilience for our kids by letting them see us make mistakes and grow anyway. Her mission through E.F. Bomb Coach is clear: to guide neurodivergent women in finding coping skills and executive function strategies that honor how their brilliant brains really work — one imperfect step at a time. So take a deep breath, pull up a chair, and remember: you are not alone, and you are far more capable than you think. Let’s lean into the beautiful, brave mess together.

What is success really made of—money, titles, or something deeper? In this soul-stirring episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with the extraordinary Magdalena, a single mom, self-taught leader, and radiant truth-teller who reminds us that peace, not prestige, may be the ultimate definition of success. Together, we peel back layers of what we were told to believe as young women—about love, acceptance, achievement, and our worth—and replace them with something more honest, more healing, and more whole. Through Magdalena’s powerful journey, you’ll hear raw reflections on inner strength, red flags, toxic needs, and the deeply human hunger to be seen, loved, and valued just as we are. This conversation is a masterclass in self-leadership and truth-telling. From childhood conditioning to relationship patterns to the bravery of walking alone to rebuild your soul, Magdalena brings both grit and grace to the table. We talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who put wind beneath your wings—not those who clip them—and the need to stop normalizing passive suffering. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, struggling with people-pleasing, or rediscovering your values, this episode will meet you where you are. So grab your coffee, your journal, or just a quiet moment—you’re going to want to sit with this one.

Today’s episode is a deeply honest, empowering, and much-needed conversation about one of the most taboo topics for women: money. I’m joined by the incredible Victoria Chervenkova—author, entrepreneur, mom, and soul-led financial guide—who helps women reconnect with their inner goddess to heal their relationship with money. We dive into her transformational journey growing up in a post-communist country, how scarcity shaped her early money mindset, and how she rewrote that story by embracing ancient female archetypes as the foundation for modern wealth. Victoria shares how identifying your money “goddess” can unlock clarity, confidence, and even joy in your financial life. This isn’t about spreadsheets and deprivation—this is about values, alignment, and self-discovery. We talk about how to start money conversations with your family, how to shift from fear to flow, and how money can become a tool for generational healing and abundance. If you've ever felt shame, anxiety, or confusion around money—this episode will feel like a warm, grounding hug.

This episode is one of those rare, sacred conversations that leaves you changed. I sat down with Bambi Lynn, a three-time author and gifted storyteller, who uses nature as her canvas and God’s healing as her message. From her raw and personal journey through trauma to her powerful metaphors about pearls, pinecones, and valleys, Bambi reminds us that healing isn’t just possible—it’s purposeful. Her life is proof that even the most shattered pieces can be reassembled into something breathtakingly beautiful. Bambi shares how trauma doesn’t have to define us—it can refine us. Whether you’re in the middle of your own valley or standing on the edge of breakthrough, this episode will speak to your soul. She reminds us that the darkness is not the end, it’s the soil where something sacred grows. From her childhood pain to her redemptive motherhood, Bambi’s story is a call to embrace our scars, forgive ourselves, and pass down pearls of wisdom to the next generation. This one will stay with you. I hope you listen, feel, and heal.

In this episode of A Superwoman Handbook, we sit down with Lisa Jacovsky—a woman whose life is a living blueprint for what it means to pivot with purpose. From the burnout of chasing a board certification she never quite caught, to rediscovering herself as a teacher, author, and soon-to-be school psychologist, Lisa’s story is packed with resilience, redirection, and radical self-belief. She walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of failed exams, toxic work environments, and gut-wrenching uncertainty—but also the quiet moments of clarity that led her to write 11 award-winning children’s books, pursue her doctorate, and finally land in a career that fits like a glove. Lisa’s journey is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t always follow a straight line—and sometimes, the detour is the destination. She opens up about learning to trust her gut when logic failed her, the strength it takes to let go of a dream that no longer serves you, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who remind you who you are. Whether you’re facing a career crisis, navigating rejection, or simply figuring out what’s next, Lisa’s story will leave you feeling seen, understood, and inspired to embrace your own winding path with courage and curiosity.

In this powerful continuation of Amanda Delaney’s story, we pick up in the aftermath—what happens when the dust settles and you're left to rebuild. Amanda bravely walks us through the raw and unfiltered seasons of her life post-2019, including job loss, personal heartbreak, and the quiet battles fought off-camera. She shares how moments of desperation led her to take risks, pitch herself for roles across the country, and sleep in her car when the odds were stacked against her. This isn’t just a story of bouncing back—it’s a testimony of grit, grace, and doing whatever it takes to keep going when the world feels like it’s falling apart. Amanda’s journey reminds us that life doesn’t always unfold neatly—but every setback holds a piece of your comeback. With honesty and vulnerability, she talks about the power of shrinking your circle, finding strength in stillness, and allowing contentment to replace chaos. She opens up about therapy, survival mode, and the quiet beauty of building a life where you don’t have to run anymore. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating uncertainty and needs a voice reminding them that they are not alone—and that sometimes, just existing today is enough to believe in a brighter tomorrow.

Today’s episode is the bravest story I’ve ever had the privilege of holding space for. I sat down with Karen McCord, author of Only Rainbows, a book born from the unimaginable loss of her daughter, Carley. Carley was a brilliant, rising sports reporter on the cusp of a national career—when her life was tragically cut short in a plane crash. But this story, while rooted in heartbreak, is ultimately a love story between a mother and a daughter, told with breathtaking honesty and grace. Karen shares how grief moved her to write, how God gave her the strength to stand, and how love—deep, enduring, radiant love—can leave a legacy. This episode is for anyone who has lost someone, for anyone struggling to make sense of the pain, and for every woman who’s ever had to be brave when she didn’t think she could. Karen’s vulnerability is a masterclass in motherhood, faith, and perseverance. She reminds us that there is power in telling the hard stories. That it’s okay to cry, to grieve, to ask why—and it’s also okay to believe in beauty after brokenness. Carley's story isn’t just Karen’s to tell—it’s a light for all of us. I’m so honored to share it with you.

Today’s episode is a testimony to grit, grace, and the kind of survival strength you don’t often see—but always feel when you're in the presence of it. I sit down with my longtime friend Amanda Delaney, who opens up about the journey from being a CrossFit badass in Raleigh to navigating deep personal loss, job transitions, couch-surfing, and rediscovering stability one brave decision at a time. This conversation is an intimate, unfiltered look at what it means to rebuild your life piece by piece—with no blueprint, no shortcuts, and no shame. Amanda’s story is for every woman who has ever asked herself, “How am I going to get through this?” and somehow found the courage to keep going anyway. She reminds us that survival isn’t always pretty, progress isn’t always linear, and healing doesn’t mean pretending nothing happened. It means choosing to move forward even when the path isn’t clear. Her honesty will crack you open and put you back together again. I'm so grateful she shared this chapter of her story with us—and I know you will be too.

Every now and then, you meet a woman who redefines resilience—and for me, that’s Tina Jameson-Brown. Tina’s story begins with a cupcake and a coffee and quickly turns into a masterclass in grit, growth, and grit again. I’ve known Tina across what feels like fourteen lifetimes, and in each one, she’s shown up with humor, hustle, and a heart that refuses to quit. In this episode, she walks us through how she bought her embroidery business just before COVID hit, what it was like to fight to keep her doors open, and how she turned unexpected chaos into a thriving, tech-forward, multi-revenue company—while laughing, learning, and leading the whole way. Tina is the definition of a SheEO. She didn’t just survive a pandemic, she rebuilt her business from the ground up—investing in technology, SOPs, people, and purpose. She shares the real behind-the-scenes moments: the tears, the midnight hustles, the tough calls, and the unexpected joy of discovering her own strength. Whether you're a woman dreaming of launching something new, stuck in the messy middle, or just wondering if it's worth it to keep going—Tina's story is a powerful reminder that bravery doesn’t always look like a bold leap. Sometimes, it’s saying, “I’m not giving up. Not today.” I can’t wait for you to hear this one.
