Permission with Jamie Scrimgeour

If you've been around for a while, you've heard Krista Williams on the podcast before. But with the rebrand, I had to bring her back to talk about something she's been speaking about all around the world: pivoting and finding your voice.
Krista is the co-host of the Almost 30 podcast, a bestselling author, a speaker, a retreat host, and a really great human.
I could literally talk to her for hours.
In this episode, we talk about Krista's glow-up and what she had to let go of to fully make the change she wanted to make. How toxic relationships and friendships can hold us back. Her divorce, shedding a past layer of herself, and what it means to live consciously and invite the universe into your life as a co-creator.
We get into what it really means to live in alignment, how you don't need to blow up your life to change it, and what happened to me when I went to Krista's retreat in Chicago this year.

This week, I'm chatting with wardrobe stylist Chellie Carlson, and we get into a lot more than what jeans to buy.

We talk about the psychology behind getting dressed, the piece of self-care so many women are missing, and the connection Chellie makes between your wardrobe, your confidence, and your earning potential.

Because whether we like it or not, how we represent ourselves to the world affects how we're treated.

In this episode, we talk about:
How what you put on in the morning can affect how you feel, how you show up, and what you're willing to put yourself out there for. 
Why Chellie thinks most women need to buy bigger jeans. 
What needs to go from your closet before you buy anything else. 
Her thoughts on skinny jeans coming back 
What a boy said to me on the basketball court in grade seven that has haunted me ever since.
Whether I really need to get out of my Lululemons when I'm working from home, and how to feel put together while still being comfortable. 
There's practical style advice in here, but also a lot that might make you think differently about getting dressed tomorrow morning.

Bethany Webster is back on the podcast, and if you've been around for a while, you know how much her work has impacted me personally.
Bethany is the author of Discovering the Inner Mother and is known for her work around the Mother Wound and the complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters.
Her work has been transformational for me in dealing with my own relationship with my mother, and there's something about the way Bethany talks about this stuff that I always find so healing.
In this episode, we talk about:
The Mother Wound and complicated dynamics between mothers and daughters
Where some of these dynamics come from
Jealousy between mothers and daughters
The Shame women can feel when they don't have a positive relationship with their mom 
How unmet needs from childhood can show up in adult relationships 
Why so many women feel like they need to do everything for everyone else 
Our worry about saying no or not meeting everyone's needs
Burnout, boundaries and asking for help 
Letting go of pressure
What happens when your definition of success changes 
This is such an honest conversation about our relationships with our mothers, the ways those relationships can continue to affect us as adults, and what it looks like to start doing things differently.

Kelly Hubbell, founder of Sage Haus, is on the show today to talk about something so many women are feeling: the mental load of keeping a household running.
And before you think, a house manager sounds bougie and completely unattainable... don't judge this episode before you hear it.
We talk about:
What a house manager actually does
The invisible labour women carry at home
The guilt and judgment that can come with outsourcing
How to figure out what you actually need help with 
What a house manager costs and ways to make it more affordable 
The things I personally outsource that women have judged me for
Why getting support at home can impact your business, relationships and life

Even if you never hire a house manager, this episode will make you think differently about what you're carrying and what you could stop doing yourself.

Colleen Freeland, founder of Emotional Sobriety Coaching, is on the show today. Colleen helps high-achieving women change their relationship with alcohol without shame, surrender or the idea that the only option is to never drink again.
In this episode, we talk about:
Mommy wine culture back in the covid days
Using alcohol as a way to cope
Why cutting back isn't just about willpower
Mindful and responsible drinking
Emotional regulation and paying attention to what you actually need
Colleen's strategies for hangovers
The pressure women are under
What Colleen learned from AA and why she began questioning the disease model of alcoholism
What changing your relationship with alcohol can look like without necessarily cutting it out completely

This was such an honest, eye-opening conversation, and I think a lot of women will see themselves in parts of it.
