If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of your business, your family, and your future all at the same time, this conversation is for you. This week, I'm sitting down with Ashley Mastowski, founder of First Choice Insurance Group, entrepreneur, leader, mom, and someone who knows a thing or two about navigating life's longest seasons of waiting. Ashley has spent nearly two decades in the insurance industry, building a business rooted in education, trust, and protecting families. But her story goes far beyond entrepreneurship. After eight years of infertility, five rounds of IVF, a heartbreaking miscarriage, and countless moments of uncertainty, Ashley and her husband welcomed miracle twins into their family. In this conversation, we talk about building a business from the ground up, leading with trust, finding community during difficult seasons, and what it really looks like to keep moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan.   What You'll Hear: The leap from employee to business owner and what seven years of entrepreneurship has taught her Why collaboration beats competition and how community has shaped her success The leadership philosophy that's helped her build a loyal, empowered team How to trust your instincts when making big business and hiring decisions The reality of building a company while navigating major personal challenges Ashley's eight-year infertility journey, including five rounds of IVF and a miscarriage The emotional moment she learned her final two embryos had become twins Navigating motherhood, entrepreneurship, and leadership all at the same time Why creating a business that supports your life—not the other way around—matters so much The power of vulnerability and sharing your story, even when it's difficult Why high-achieving women struggle to slow down and what Ashley is learning about taking care of herself How community, masterminds, and mentorship can help you through every stage of growth   Connect with Ashley:  Website: https://yourfirstchoice.agency/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/firstchoiceinsgroup/

What do you do when the life you're living no longer feels aligned, but the next chapter hasn't revealed itself yet? Meka Livingston is the host of Talk Her To Me, a podcast dedicated to the conversations women are already having in their heads but rarely say out loud. Through honest reflections on self-trust, intuition, identity shifts, and personal growth, Meka helps women find language for what they're experiencing and permission to trust themselves through it. In this episode, Meka introduces the powerful concept of the "hallway season" — that uncomfortable space between who you've been and who you're becoming. Together, we explore why so many women struggle to trust their own instincts, how to reconnect with your inner voice in a world full of noise, and why growth often requires choosing the inconvenient path. This conversation feels like sitting down with a wise friend who reminds you that you're not lost — you're simply in transition.   What You'll Hear: The story behind Meka's podcast and why her daughters inspired her to start having these conversations out loud What a "hallway season" really is and why almost every major life transition begins there Why so many women have stopped trusting themselves and how to reconnect with your intuition The simple practice Meka uses to separate fear, overthinking, and truth How to recognize when you've outgrown a relationship, career, mindset, or version of yourself Why personal growth often feels uncomfortable, inconvenient, and deeply uncertain The difference between listening to outside opinions and listening to your own discernment How healing your younger self creates space for your future self to emerge Why self-trust isn't built in one big moment, but through small choices every day The reminder every woman needs when she's standing in the hallway, unsure of what comes next   Connect with Meka:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_talkhertomeka/?hl=en Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@talkhertomeka

What happens when someone tells you you'll never make it in the career you've dreamed about your entire life? Emily Climer knew she wanted to be a hairstylist at just 10 years old. But only months into her career, a salon owner told her she'd never color hair again. Most people would have walked away. Instead, Emily turned that moment into fuel, building a thriving salon, leading a team of more than 80 employees throughout her career, and becoming an educator dedicated to helping others succeed. But this conversation goes far beyond hair. It's about resilience, leadership, grief, entrepreneurship, and learning how to navigate life's highest highs and lowest lows at the exact same time.   What You'll Hear: • The moment a salon owner told Emily she'd never color hair again—and how it changed the trajectory of her career • Why mistakes became one of the core values inside her salon culture • The role mentors, coaches, and community have played in Emily's growth • How she handled losing key employees the day before her wedding • Navigating grief, motherhood, business ownership, and a salon relocation all at the same time • The mindset practices that keep her grounded through uncertainty and challenges • Why tomorrow can always be a fresh start, no matter what happened today   Connect with Emily:  Website: https://aperfecthue.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyclimer/ Salon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperfecthue/   Let's Connect: https://www.instagram.com/kassidylynnesocial

What if the worst moment of your life was actually preparing you for your purpose? Alexis Meruelo is an author, speaker, founder of the Business of Her conference, and Chief Vision and Purpose Officer of the Meruelo Group, overseeing corporate social responsibility across companies, including SAHARA Las Vegas and the Grand Sierra Resort. But her path to power didn't come from playing it safe. It came from a devastating breakup that forced her to redefine what success actually meant. In this conversation, Alexis shares her three-phase framework from her new book Getting You Ready for Power: believe in yourself, build your team, and rise to lead. We talk about why self-worth is the foundation of authentic leadership, how to find mentors who actually support your growth (and avoid the ones who don't), and why the in-between moments are where we discover who we're meant to become.

What if the reason your business isn't getting leads has nothing to do with your offer, and everything to do with your website? Victoria Marcouillier is the founder of Brand Well Designs, an all-female branding and web design agency that's built a reputation for creating websites that don't just look beautiful, they convert. She's worked with six and seven-figure entrepreneurs, and she's built her entire business while raising three kids, proving that you can have both a thriving career and be present in motherhood. But here's what makes Victoria different: she'll tell you the hard truth that being liked on social media is not the same as being chosen by paying clients. And that your pretty website is doing nothing for you if it's not strategically positioned to answer the questions your ideal client is asking in the first 2 seconds. This episode is about so much more than web design. It's about brand positioning, knowing your differentiators, building capacity in the in-between, and why entrepreneurship is really just a test of your tolerance. What You'll Hear: The moment Victoria realized being an all-female team was actually her biggest differentiator (and how a client's question changed her positioning forever) The difference between being liked and being chosen, and why vanity metrics don't pay your bills What your brain decides in 2 seconds when someone lands on your website (and why most entrepreneurs are losing people before they ever scroll) The 3-part ecosystem every service-based business needs How Brand Well's Prep Well process changed everything, and why strategy has to come before design Why you need to stop trying to speak to everyone and start speaking to the 90% Why 2026 Victoria can handle challenges that would've broken 2023 Victoria How entrepreneurship became more about personal and spiritual development than business growth Why the ones who can tolerate the most will go the furthest Connect with Victoria:  Website: https://www.brandwelldesigns.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandwelldesigns   Let's Connect: https://www.instagram.com/kassidylynnesocial

This week, I'm sitting down with Dr. Jade Norris, a board-certified family medicine physician and founder of NSPIRE Primary Care here in Las Vegas. Dr. Jade is changing the game when it comes to primary care, and honestly? She's sold me on a completely different way to think about healthcare. Dr. Jade knew at four years old that she wanted to be a doctor. Even when her preschool teacher told her to "think about something else," she kept going. And now, she's not just practicing medicine, she's building a healthcare home for her community, proving that quality care doesn't have to mean conveyor-belt appointments and copay collections.   What You'll Hear:   What it really means to create a "healthcare home" vs. a transactional medical experience How Dr. Jade pushed through imposter syndrome in medical school as one of few Black students in a predominantly white, rural program Why your doctor should embody the healthy lifestyle they're recommending (and how Dr. Jade prioritizes fitness even with a packed schedule) How the membership model works: Think gym membership, but for primary care Real talk on navigating healthcare costs, HSAs, health shares, and finding what actually works for YOUR situation Dr. Jade's approach to managing chronic conditions like asthma without the runaround The importance of curiosity: Why you should question your healthcare experience instead of just accepting what you're given   Connect with Dr. Jade: Website: https://nspireprimarycare.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjademd/?hl=en   Let's Connect: https://www.instagram.com/kassidylynnesocial

Hey everyone! Welcome back to The In-Between podcast! Today we're diving into why motivation is overrated and discipline is actually the secret sauce to everything you want in life.

Hey everyone! Welcome back to The In-Between podcast! Today I'm coming at you with a solo episode about something we all chase but can never quite catch - balance. Spoiler alert: I don't think it exists, and I'm here to tell you why that's actually a good thing. I'm breaking down why the perfect symmetry we're all striving for is a lie, how to think about balance as a scale that tips back and forth instead of a static goal, and practical ways to stop feeling guilty about what's "out of balance" in your life right now.   What You'll Hear: Why balance is unachievable (and that's okay!) The lie that entrepreneurship gives you more time freedom Visualizing balance as a scale that tips, not perfect symmetry Being present where your feet are and focusing on energy alignment Understanding and accepting the seasons of your life Why something always feels like it's on the uphill or downhill Color coding your calendar to see where your time actually goes The power of reflection: what went well and what needs more attention Putting down your devices to be truly present How 30 minutes of intentional time beats 8 hours of distracted attention Letting go of guilt and adjusting instead of maintaining perfection   Let's Connect: @inbetweenconvos | @kassidy.owen Kassidy Lynne Socials: @kassidylynnesocials | website   Produced by: Podcast & Co.

Hey everyone! Welcome to season four of The In-Between podcast! Today I'm getting real about something that's been on my mind: why I was burning myself out trying to run my business like a dude. Seriously though - I'm talking about how most business advice out there is designed by men, for men, and why that just doesn't work for those of us with fluctuating hormones and a completely different energy system.   What You'll Hear: Why I finally ditched the "hustle and grind" mentality The testosterone vs. menstrual cycle energy difference (it's wild, y'all) How I stopped forcing myself into the 8-5 workday box Learning to work WITH my cycle instead of fighting it Why imposter syndrome hits us differently as women in business My approach: magnetic energy vs. my boyfriend's bulldozing strategy (both work!) The juggling act of running a business while managing everything else The question that changed everything: Do I even LIKE how I'm running my business?
