How to Be Badassish - Archived

Laura Charelle LOVES her dark chocolate. Not the 65% dark chocolate on strawberries at Valentine's Day...the dark chocolate (or as I call it: black chocolate because it's damn near solid black) that has 85% cacao or higher. One step away from bakers chocolate. Why? Because according to this healthy hottie, it contains TONS of magnesium which is basically the main nutrient your body needs during your period.

But even better than that, Laura has hacked her hormone system to a level we dream of.

1. She knows exactly when to schedule meetings, and when to schedule naps. (Read that again!!)
2. She's figured out how to HEALTHILY lose weight (put the shake down!)
3. What kind of exercise you SHOULD be doing each week (not you, P90X...)
4. How to be more efficient in work and your day to day
5. And even has some brilliant thoughts on why women shouldn't apologize at work...

Bonus? She can teach you all the things. 🙌


Nowadays, Laura teaches women’s health and how women can naturally balance their hormones.

Go take a bath while you listen to this one...you're going to want to have totally undivided attention! Trust.

Cat Eckrode is a super geek with a love of Skyrim and GoT. But Cat is also a business owner that realized "how spending time outdoors got me to own being a badass."

In her 30s, she went from an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle and almost zero previous athletic experience, to outdoor adventure badass who explores all over the PNW (Pacific NorthWest) and inspires others to get after their own epic adventures.

The best part? Even if you're a city dweller, she shows you all the ins and outs on trail safety, the best spots to go to just be (with nature or yourself!), and can give you all the facts on WHY you totally want to go into the wild!

Sh*z is SERIOUSLY crazy right now. And scary. And unending....

And yet, we're so freaked out about getting COVID-19, we forget that we WILL all die someday. Because we're living organisms and that's the life cycle. 

So, yes, the entire world is topsy-turvy...but if you're honest with yourself, were you REALLY even living in the first place?

We put so much effort into all the relationships in our lives...but what about the one with the person who was there from day one, and will be there until you go back to the sourse? Yourself.

Sh*! is scary right now...and yet, is it scary because it's unknown? Or because of media? Being claircognizant (knowing things I "shouldn't" know because I have no experience or research) is both a blessing and a curse. People always ask "How do you know?" and honestly, man. I don't know where the knowledge comes from...but I DO know I get downloads. Admitting my gift is almost as terrifying as watching the news right now. But I feel it's important.

Today I go in depth about the download I got during a meditation about the COVID-19. The good, the potential, the bad, the reason it started...and the ugly. 

All I can say is the resounding universal message is: Don't waste it. It CAN be a gift, or the apocalypse. For the first time in history, YOU get to choose which way the outcome goes.

Dr. Anita M Jackson loves Pringles and movies, cooking, entertaining, and sleeping. (Don't we all!) But her normalcy isn't the astonishing part, it's the comforting part. Because very often we assume those with great success and lots of degrees (she has quite a few) means they don't have human stuff, or a past for some odd reason. Like they never had troubles or downfalls before becoming this badass we know today. 

Here's the deal...I KNOW I'm attractive (now.). But growing up I never felt it. I felt hated by women for looking a certain way, and coveted by men for the same thing...

But seriously? Is that REALLY all you think there is to me? Or any woman??

Do we really believe that a woman's entire worth is how she looks in a bathing suit or with makeup? I certainly don't.

Elisabeth Anderson-Sierra has one of the biggest hearts I've ever had the honor to know, and her insane overnight fame has never altered that most beautiful feature of her...and yet she's funny as hell. "Do whales fart?" was a question I was asked before recording (because I open it up to intervewees to ask questions before we get started), and truthfully she peaked my curiosity about it....after I nearly peed laughing.

But alas, no whale farting was talked about. Instead we did a deep dive in how she KNOWS she's soooooo unrelatable due to her extreme hyper-lactation condition, and yet after donating nearly 300,000 ounces of breastmilk in less than 5 years (actual numbers! Literally, NO exaggeration!) this badass mamma jamma is the one you WANT to get help from if you are having issues breastfeeding your child. And she has a multitude of ways to allow ANY mom to get it, and 10,000 successful flange fittings for moms to prove it. 

Elisabeth regularly works 90 hour weeks running multiple massive fan pages, multiple mom support groups, and is putting in place even more ways to support mothers. 

This serious badass mom of two is prior decorated military, saved someone’s life on a plane, an artist and seamstress, and is doing her damndest to save the world one drop of breastmilk at a time.

Because above all, Elisabeth believes: "You is kind, you is beautiful, and you is important."

Those words are not synonyms. We believe that if we forgive those who have done damage to us, traumatized us, or hurt us...that they are off the hook. 

But an anchor has no idea that it's stopping a ship from exploring the world. 

Today I talk about how my journey of forgiveness opened doors I didn't know existed, and how it made the reappearance of ghosts of the past easier to handle.

SYSTEMS!!! Oh How I love systems. 

Today I put on my TechWitch hat and talk about the total awesomeness of setting up systems: for your biz or for your life. No matter HOW small your biz is!!! (I'm looking at you solopreneurs!) 

IF you have a #MeToo story that is still too raw and real to hear another, PLEASE skip to 23:15. 

If you have never had one, congrats. You are an anomaly. I suggest you listen from the beginning....

Traumas. We've all had them, we all suppress some, we all are affected differently. We talk about healing BIG traumas, the ones that shaped our lives when we were children, but what about the ones that others would see as "not a big deal"? Today, I share my most horrific trauma, and one that only was horrifying to me. And how I healed from both.

"Self-Care" is actually on my shit list for "incorrectly overused words". 

Why? 

Because somehow we started believing that self care is easy, is nothing more than a bubble bath or pedicures, and has nothing to do with those surrounding us. 

So, I'm calling bullshit.

Why? Why do we have the Imposter Syndrome? Where does it come from? We don't have it as kids when we discover what we are good at. We don't start a business with something we are terrible at. We don't become experts in our fields because we suck at our skill set...so why on Earth does it exist??

Something I ponder and marvel at in today's episode.

When we tell our stories, we always have a bad guy. Our ex, our former friend, our parents...but what if YOU are the villain? What if no matter your integrity, purpose for your choice, or circumstance, you are the bad guy?  Today I talk about elements in which I KNOW I'm the bad guy, and I'm weirdly ok with it.

It's been a full year and then some since my life was completely shattered...and you know what? Now, I'm doing amazing. What would happen if instead of wallowing in our failures - like I've done countless times in my past - we actually celebrated the failures? I'll tell you what happens: Magic.  In this episode I give a bit more detail about how I epically failed one year ago, and how it was literally the best thing to ever happen to me.
