Powerhouse Women

Have you ever found yourself questioning everything you know while in the pursuit of success? Today's guest has been an instrumental part of my healing journey, a practitioner, complex systems thinker, and founder of Breakthrough Performance and Rehab, Wesley Kress!

What does "trust recession," really mean for you and your business? Today's conversation pulls back the curtain on the ways trust has shifted in our modern age and what we can do to rebuild trust in not only ourselves, but with those we want to connect more deeply with.

Now more than ever is the exact moment, the exact opportunity, you've been waiting for to show up authentically and connect with those you want to serve in 2026 and beyond!

What remains when the house burns down, the business is lost, and the identity you built no longer exists? My conversation with Lisa Odenweller, Founder & CEO of Kroma Wellness, is a masterclass in navigating seasons of change and how to rebuild trust in yourself after loss. We go deep beyond the strategies and into who she had to become in the process of creating 2 of the hottest wellness brands over the last decade as a single mother, losing her dream home in the Palisades fire, and reconnecting with her creativity and softness as a high-achieving woman.

Instead of asking "How did you do it?" I wish more people asked "WHO did you have to become?" I guarantee that if you are calling in expansion for this year, you are already being shown exactly what or where you need to expand in order to hold the next level. But if you are only going in search of strategy, you are missing the upgrade. Today, I share what my actual expansion has looked like over my time of building Powerhouse Women, from the pivotal inciting moment to starting over from zero post-divorce to now feeling more fulfilled and free than ever before. I show you how to connect to the key to your upgrade and create real success that goes beyond the surface. This is your reminder that the upgrade you're looking for is already in you–all you have to do is unlock it.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
00:00 What is the key to your next upgrade?
05:15 The strategy to call in an upgrade.
11:30 What was the pivotal moment of my expansion journey?
16:50 How the answers we need can come from unexpected places.
21:05 Why must we first break before we can expand to hold more?
29:35 What to do when you feel stuck in your expansion.
34:40 What starting over from zero taught me.
39:10 Why EVERYTHING is the upgrade you're asking for.
