   #371: I’m kicking off November with a solo episode, and this one’s a little different. Instead of playing big sis with all the answers, I’m bringing you the questions my friends and I keep debating in our group chats and Slack channels. Lees meer

   We get into whether critique culture has gone too far, whether everyone really needs a personal brand, why visibility isn’t the same as power, and what to do when you’ve hit your goals but still feel like something’s missing. Plus, I share why I’m stepping off the content hamster wheel to build something no one can take away from me.

   #370: Dominique Morgan has a way of making you laugh, think, and see yourself differently all in the same breath, and she brought every bit of that to this week’s conversation. Lees meer

   Dominique joins me to talk about what her version of creating luck looks like: knowing your magic, keeping the right people around you, and recognizing a moment as early as possible. We get into why reaching every dream on her list still left her feeling empty, what changes when you start dreaming from abundance instead of survival, and the strategy behind the content that has her reaching millions of people every month.

   This episode is a masterclass in putting the science behind your magic so no one else gets to decide what it’s worth.

   We talk about:

   Dominique’s three-part formula for creating your own luck

   Owning your magic and letting yourself enjoy it

   Dreaming from abundance instead of survival

   Why your biggest wins can throw you off track faster than your hardest moments

   The science behind going viral, and how she built her own system

   Knowing your value well enough to name your price

   Why you have to be a fan of the people around you

   #369: In this week’s episode I’m joined by author, journalist, and birthFUND founder Elaine Welteroth for a special conversation. Recorded live at Create & Cultivate, this conversation turned into church about five minutes in. If you're at the edge of a pivot, or you've realized the hustle that got you here won't get you where you're going, this one's for you. Lees meer

   Elaine and I get into how to know when it's time to walk away from something that looks great from the outside, what changes when you measure success by what you give instead of what you get, and how she raised nearly $10 million for maternal health in two years without ever planning to run a nonprofit.

   This episode is for anyone looking ahead at their next chapter excited for what’s to come.

   We talk about:

   Knowing when it's time to pivot, and getting through the waiting that comes after

   Moving from scarcity to abundance

   Why it matters for women to talk about money

   How Elaine’s relationship with ambition has changed in her 20s and 30s

   The importance of building your own table instead of playing someone else's game

   Why maternal health affects every one of us, and requires all hands on deck

   #368: Y'all called it before I could even say it. Yes, I invested in the beverage brand Sensori! Co-founders Darean and Shanna are back on the show, and since the last time we talked, they've raised almost a million dollars from more than 40 creators (me included) to scale their business instead of going the VC route. Lees meer

   Today we’re pulling back the curtain on their fundraising strategy and why I decided to invest. If you've ever wondered whether there's another way to fund a business, you need to hear this one. I also pulled some messy questions from Threads, getting into the nitty-gritty of the raise, and they answered every single one.

   We talk about:

   Why Sensori said no to VC for now, and when they'd reconsider

   How a creator-funded raise works, from cap tables and SPVs to check sizes and the creator match

   Why I chose to invest in Sensori

   Community questions about equal shares, exclusivity and what creator investors actually do

   Building a cap table that helps you beyond the check

   Why selling your company doesn't have to mean selling out

   How Sensori is scaling into retail

   Why the key to luck is increasing your risk tolerance

   Luck, alignment, and treating your life's work like an assignment

7. How to Create the Opportunities You’ve Been Waiting For with Blake Newby

   #365: Three years ago when Blake Newby first joined me on the show, life looked a little different. She was in the thick of her Saturn return, still untangling herself from traditional media, betting everything on herself with zero proof it would work. Lees meer

   She's back, and now she's watching those bets pay off in ways she couldn't have scripted. Blake joins me to talk about what it actually feels like when the things you manifested start coming true, and why getting there doesn't erase what it cost to get there.

   This is an honest conversation about staying grounded while an entire industry falls apart around you: building your own platform when nobody's handing you opportunities, protecting your integrity when the money gets tempting, and learning to call on something bigger than yourself to keep moving.

   We talk about:

   Revisiting the thesis of Blake's first episode, "it's expensive to dream," three years later

   Protecting your integrity as the stakes (and the money) get bigger

   The collapse of traditional and digital media, and why you have to build your own thing now

   Becoming a more responsible, media-literate consumer in the age of misinformation and AI

   Beauty and fashion as inheritance, joy, and politics, not just aesthetics

   Finding alignment through spirituality

8. Why You Sabotage Good Things (and How to Stop) ft. Dr. Marisa G. Franco

   15 september 2026 · 1 uur 11 min

   Afspelen
   #364: In this week's episode of She's So Lucky, I'm sitting down with returning guest, psychologist, and bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco to talk about the science of self-worth and why so much of what we call "identity" is actually just an old memory in disguise. Lees meer

   You might remember Marisa from our February 2023 conversation on platonic intimacy, which ended up being our top episode of the year. She's back this time to talk about her new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment, and this conversation picks up right where that one left off.

   Marisa breaks down the difference between the "good twin" and "bad twin" of high self-esteem, why the healthiest people are often the ones who feel their feelings instead of pushing them away, and how memory reconsolidation can actually change the way old pain sits in your body.

   Marisa and I talk about how attachment styles became status symbols, why "secure" turned into something people perform instead of something people feel, and why she prefers the term "secure-ish." We also talk about ambition, and why wanting more doesn't automatically mean you're operating from a wound.

   This one's tender, it's smart, and it's going to have you thinking about your own memories differently for a long time after you finish listening.

   This episode is for you if:

   You've ever felt like the other shoe is about to drop, even when things are going well

   You reject compliments or feel weird when people are nice to you

   You've used attachment theory or self-help language to build an identity instead of understanding a feeling

   You're tired of the "love yourself unconditionally, all the time" messaging and want something more real

   You're questioning whether your ambition is coming from a healthy place or an old wound

   You want to understand the actual neuroscience behind why certain memories keep showing up in your body

   You're ready to stop shaming the parts of yourself that are still healing

   You want language …

   #363: In two years, Marina Middleton went from a first-time Create & Cultivate attendee to co-owner and CEO of the company. Now, three years into running it, she’s sharing the honest truth about what it looks like to be on the other side of a major quantum leap. Lees meer

   Marina joins me to talk about the moment she realized she’d lost her spark, and what she did to get it back. If you’ve ever felt like you have to choose between the career you’re building and building a family, or you struggle with tying your work to your worth, this one is for you.

   This episode is an honest conversation about reclaiming your ambition without sacrificing the people you love, or running yourself into the ground.

   We talk about:

   The DM that turned Marina into co-owner and CEO of Create & Cultivate

   How to separate your worth from your work

   Why ambition isn’t something to be ashamed of, and how to reclaim it

   How to get your spark back after a period of burnout

   Cutting out frenemies and building real boundaries (plus her checklist that went viral)

    #362: Stephany Faublas built her platform on radical honesty, and she’s bringing her signature candor to this week’s conversation. Lees meer

    Stephany joins me to talk about what raising herself looks like right now, in the season after the court wins, after the healing, after she stopped performing being "okay" and started taking the steps to shift from surviving to thriving. We get into the mom sabbatical she took this summer, the boundary that changed her life, and what creating her own luck looks like in real-time.

    This episode is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to design your life instead of just surviving it.

    What you'll take from this episode:

    How to stop performing "okay" what it takes to truly get out of survival mode

    A new way to think about the oxygen mask advice everyone gives but nobody actually follows

    How to release the shame that comes with choosing yourself

    Why you can’t process what you don’t let yourself feel

    How to think about money as a tool for freedom, not just survival, and where to start if you don't have a plan yet

    A reminder that your life is something you can design, and the first steps to doing so
