Ever feel like you're either wildly productive or completely shut down with no in-between?

In this Hot Seat episode,I'm joined by Jill from Lilikoi Project, who flips the script and puts me in the hot seat for a deeply honest conversation about ADHD, rejection sensitivity, visibility, and what it really takes to build a sustainable jewelry business as a sensitive, creative soul.

We talk about why ADHD is so often mislabeled as laziness, how rejection sensitivity can quietly sabotage your confidence, and why trying to "push through" usually backfires. I share how I've learned to work with my natural energy cycles instead of fighting them and how doing so has completely changed the way I lead, coach, and live.

This episode is for jewelry business owners who feel deeply, overthink easily, and want to grow without burning themselves out in the process.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. Why ADHD is a rhythm, not a flaw and how to plan your business around it
2. How rejection sensitivity shows up in customer emails, visibility, and people pleasing
3. Why overworking and batching content often makes ADHD burnout worse
4. How to feel safe being seen without shutting down or spiraling
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• ADHD and entrepreneurship
• Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)
• Nervous system regulation in business
• Visibility fears for jewelry business owners
• People pleasing and emotional boundaries
• Building a life-first jewelry business

Are you pushing through brain fog, low energy, mood shifts, or unexplained weight gain and telling yourself it's "just life"… even though your body is clearly asking for help?

In this episode, I sit down with naturopathic doctor Dr. Jennifer Bunzenmeyer to talk about perimenopause, menopause, and how women can reclaim their energy without relying on willpower or caffeine. We unpack why symptoms often show up slowly, why "normal" lab work isn't always optimal, and the foundational habits that make the biggest difference, like blood sugar balancing, protein, movement, sleep support, and gut health. Dr. Jen also shares how hormones shift over a 4–10 year perimenopause window, why stress and cortisol matter, and why strength training and bone health become non-negotiable as we age.

This conversation is your reminder: you're not broken… you're evolving, and you deserve support.

What You Will Learn in this Episode:

1. How to spot the "quiet" signs of perimenopause before you hit burnout in business
2. Why blood sugar balance, protein, and gut health can dramatically shift energy and brain fog
3. How to think about "normal" labs vs. optimal trends (thyroid, A1C, cortisol patterns)
4. A more sustainable approach to health habits (systems over willpower, quarter-by-quarter changes)
   
   

Topics Discussed:

• Perimenopause + menopause symptoms (sleep, mood, brain fog, energy)
• The "four pillars" approach (basics, gut, hormones, aging well)
• Protein, meal prep, movement, and joy as real energy tools
• Stress, cortisol, adrenals, and nervous system support
• Weight gain, insulin resistance, thyroid, estrogen/progesterone shifts
• Community and connection as a health essential
