    EP 146: When “Mistakes” Become Our Magic with Becky Whetstone

    What if the very chapters you wish you could erase are the ones that shape your greatest work?In this deeply honest and inspiring episode of Fempreneur True Confessions, we sit down with Becky Whetstone, licensed clinical therapist, author, and relationship expert, to explore how what looks like failure in the moment often becomes the foundation for a life that truly fits.Becky shares her remarkable journey, from navigating a third divorce to returning to school as a graduate student, to building a thriving private practice before social media dominated how we market. She takes us back to the early 2000s, placing ads in the Yellow Pages, then courageously pivoting to Google Ads as the industry evolved. Each step, intentional or not, became part of a long game rooted in resilience, self-trust, and clarity.We talk about what it means to grow by design, not by default. Becky opens up about choosing fewer clients, not as a setback, but as a conscious decision aligned with the life she wants. She reflects on publishing her first book in 2023, working on her second book set to release next year, and her vision for the future, including teaching and leading classes rather than chasing every opportunity that comes along.One of the most powerful moments in the conversation centers on clarity. Becky knows what she doesn’t want. She doesn’t want to host a podcast, but she loves being a podcast guest. That self-awareness becomes a masterclass in honoring your own path instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s version of success.This episode is a reminder that magic isn’t instant. It’s built slowly, through lived experience, honest reflection, and the courage to keep choosing alignment over appearance. Becky’s story shows us that from the ashes of what feels like failure after failure, we can create lives and businesses where we don’t just survive, we thrive.What We Talk About in This EpisodeTurning personal “failures” into professional wisdomStarting over after divorce and rebuilding with intentionPivoting with the timesDesigning a business that supports your life, not drains itKnowing what you don’t want as a form of clarityLetting go of the pressure to do everything at onceTrusting that your path can be slower, quieter, and still powerfulKey TakeawaysYour lived experience is not a liability, it’s your magic.Failure is often just feedback shaping your future work.Success looks different in every season.Alignment creates sustainability.Final ThoughtWe all carry magic within us. Sometimes it takes decades, missteps, pivots, and pauses to uncover it. Becky Whetstone models what’s possible when we stop rushing the process and start honoring the life we’re intentionally creating.If you’ve ever felt behind, scattered, or discouraged by a path that didn’t go as planned, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Check out The Congressman’s Wife on Substack!  You can find Becky online here:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebookYouTubeSubstackStay connected with Fempreneur True Confessions here: SpotifyWebsite

    EP 143: Trusting Your Intuition, Even If It Feels Like You’re Starting Over

    This week’s guest, Amy Tsai, shared several pivotal stories from her entrepreneurial journey with us. She shared how she came to realize that leading through action means leading through presence. When she is fully grounded and present, it creates a safe space for others to do the same. Presence communicates more than words ever could—it allows others to feel seen, heard, and supported. She shared that she discovered when she leads with presence, the right people resonate and doors opened in ways she couldn’t imagine. We talked about how many female entrepreneurs doubt themselves when change or growth calls. Amy encouraged us to trust our inner voice, even if it feels like it means starting over. We also talked about how endings are often new beginnings in disguise. For Amy, living more in a state of presence reinforced the importance of presence over pressure, shaping her into someone who now leads with more clarity, compassion, and confidence, both personally and in business.She also shared a story about her own father that showed her that resilience doesn’t come from pushing harder—it comes from allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to try something new. Check out Amy’s Free Training to Reclaim Your Energy and Vitality. She created this free training to help people understand exactly why they’re feeling overworked and undernourished and what you can do about it.You can find Amy online here:WebsiteLinkedInYouTubeInstagramOther resources mentioned during the podcast:Nama JuicersStay connected with Fempreneur True Confessions here: SpotifyWebsite

    EP 140: What Christmas Really Gave Us: Stories of Intention, Energy & Family with Lora & Angelic

    In this special Christmas edition of Fempreneur True Confessions, we slow down, reflect, and share deeply personal stories about what Christmas has meant to us across different seasons of life.As the year comes to a close, we talk honestly about how the holidays aren’t always picture-perfect and how, for many, this time of year can bring mixed emotions. Instead of focusing on traditions for tradition’s sake, we explore the energy, intention, and meaning behind the moments that stay with us forever.From childhood memories shaped by scarcity, creativity, and unexpected generosity to building meaningful traditions with our own families, this episode is a reminder that Christmas isn’t about what’s under the tree. It’s about the energy exchanged, the thought behind the gesture, and the love infused into even the simplest moments.One story, in particular, reflects a defining Christmas where gifts were scarce, a tree was improvised, and joy arrived unexpectedly through the kindness of others. That moment became a lifelong lesson in energy, intention, and the true spirit of giving.We also reflect on:Growing up with different cultural and religious traditionsCreating magic without money or perfectionWhy intention matters more than the gift itselfHow family, presence, and creativity shape holiday memoriesLetting go of “one-day gratitude” and choosing appreciation year-roundFinding comfort in simple traditions like pajamas, food, lights, and being togetherThis episode is warm, reflective, and deeply human. A gentle reminder that the holidays don’t need to look a certain way to be meaningful. Sometimes the most powerful memories are born from resilience, love, and unexpected generosity.Whether you’re surrounded by family, creating new traditions, or navigating a quieter season, we hope this conversation feels like a soft place to land during the holidays.Join the ConversationWhat is your favorite Christmas memory or tradition?What has the holiday taught you over the years?From Us to YouMerry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and warm wishes to you and your loved ones from the Fempreneur True Confessions Podcast.

Lora talks about actively choosing gratitude in a season of stress and transition, even when it feels hard. Angelic opens up about the importance of tiny moments, sacred pauses, and living in awe of the everyday.

    EP 132: How To Use Karma To Transform Your Life With Pat Miller

    We had a great conversation with Pat Miller this week! Despite suffering significant personal losses, including her mother, siblings, and husband, she has shown remarkable resilience and humor. Her story of strength and perseverance is chronicled in her award-winning, best-selling book "Kicking Karma's Ass," which details her professional and personal comeback. Miller's success and spirit exemplify her ability to not only survive but to flourish in the face of adversity. “A lot of people think karma is this thing where you’ve done something wrong, so something bad happens to you as a result. Basically, you get what you deserve. Wayne Dyer says, ‘How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.’ And that’s how I look at it - you are responsible for you.”In 2013, her eldest brother died unexpectedly. The following year her mother died and her husband was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. Then her father passed away in 2015 and the final blow was her husband succumbing to cancer in 2016. “It was the darkest hours of my life. I was literally in a daze and running on automatic pilot. The pain of those losses was unfathomable. But, I turned that anger at all of the losses into a determination to succeed. I had two sons to think about.”“Looking back on my personal and professional journey,...I was inspired…to write my book. I needed to make sense of all of my grief and wanted to inspire others who feel totally alone in restarting their lives. I decided to be vulnerable in telling my story – telling the whole truth, as raw as it might be. People need to know that personal transformation isn’t scary, but the circumstances behind them might be. And it’s okay. It’s all new territory, so it’s normal to be nervous. Don’t let that stop you. Ask for guidance. Look for signs. Follow the nudges. Whatever you are called to do, IS FOR YOU. For me that meant refusing to feel like a victim. I spent long nights, meditating and contemplating why such losses happened to me. I knew there had to be a reason why. I often say my husband was such a selfless man in his death. It allowed me to become the woman I was destined to be. I couldn't allow his death to be all negative. I had to find the positive. And that’s how I started to rebrand, reinvent and rebuild.”Pat’s ebook will be available for 99 cents starting later this week for the next two weeks for our listeners.  It's also available free to those who are Kindle Unlimited subscribers. https://www.amazon.com/KICKING-Karmas-Ass-Unbelievable-Perseverance/dp/B0BQ53YGJM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3GPILNBYUKEHN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qYQoaJTICeLjMXrAXJBVcfdlpapo8zAYnh7Pwd54Ibo.hxi_ZMZuEByc7SSpQXeDUUz3gJqDQSo8FDh6Ju4gCbo&dib_tag=se&keywords=kicking+karmas+ass&qid=1760968226&sprefix=kicking+karmas+ass%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1You can find Pat online here:Website: https://patmiller.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepatmiller11/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePatMiller11/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thepatmiller11Twitter: https://x.com/ThePatMiller11Stay connected with Fempreneur True Confessions here: Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ftcpodcast Website: http://ftcpodcast.com/

    EP 129: Loneliness, Walking the Walk, & Grief (Oh My!) With Misty Mae

    In this insightful episode, Misty Mae joins us to talk about loneliness, walking the walk, and grief.  Misty shared how lonely entrepreneurship was for her, especially when she first started out, and how she struggled with it. How both her personal and professional networks were not always supportive of the things she was trying to accomplish, so she had to take a long and hard look at the people she kept around her in order to make sure she had the support and resources that she needed while trying to figure out how to build her business.Now, Misty walks the walk - if she shares with a client or colleague that "rest is productive" you better believe that is because it took her a while to realize it is true. Now, she prioritizes it for herself. Misty got very vulnerable about how the grief of losing her dog, in the midst of  trying to build her business, has been one of  the biggest challenges she’s had to face - and that she still struggles with it. She talked about how she figured out how to navigate through in a way that doesn't derail her entire day any longer.Be sure to get on Misty’s list to receive her Sunday Spark emails - they are short and sweet, but always relevant when they arrive.

    EP 126: Living in Integrity: Alignment, Boundaries & Bravery in Business with Lora & Angelic

    In this week’s episode, we dive deep into integrity — what it really means to live, work, and lead from a place of alignment.Integrity isn’t just about honesty — it’s about when your actions, words, and inner truth line up. It’s about creating boundaries, choosing clients and opportunities that match your values, and having the courage to disappoint instead of betraying yourself.We explore:Integrity as alignment → how to live in sync with your truth.Boundaries & integrity → why saying “no” can be one of the most powerful yes’s to yourself.Integrity in business → choosing aligned clients, projects, and partnerships (even if it means turning others down).The ripple effect → how one woman standing in her integrity gives others permission to do the same.Courage & authenticity → why integrity requires bravery and the willingness to take the harder road.We also asked:Where in our lives do we feel fully in integrity right now?What helps us return to our center when life pulls us off course?So, where in YOUR life do you feel fully in integrity right now? And what helps YOU return to your center when life starts life-ing? We’d love to hear from you!Our biggest takeaway? Living in integrity means choosing alignment over approval — even when it’s hard.

    It was a joy to have Candace on the podcast to talk about this still ever-so-present belief in business today - that we are in competition.

She also shared that money will always come back, we can make more money, but opportunities to build self trust and self confidence? Yes, those can come around again as well, but may not be as potent, so be brave and step into those opportunities when they arise.Message Candace on social media and mention the podcast to receive a Free Mini Intuitive Reading!You can find Candace online here:WebsiteInstagram LinkedINTikTok FacebookYouTubeStay connected with Fempreneur True Confessions here: Spotify Website

    Have you ever been introduced to someone and during the introduction something is said about them and you are like, “Huh, that is interesting…I wonder…?” And you ask the thing - you ask the question - or you think out loud with them and the next thing you know an hour has flown by and you feel as if you could talk to them another hour and still not be done, that you could just talk forever?
