Rebecca Reinhart is a professional choreographer, director and producer who was thrown a giant curve-ball when she became an unintentional porn star by having a sex tape released without her consent. How exactly does one find the strength to keep going when faced with this level of obstacle? Especially when seeking justice and healing seem to be at such odds with one another? Rebecca shares her experience of moving through the depths of despair, setting boundaries to support her healing, choosing to talk about it, and ultimately, making a stand for love.

Episode 25 - Control Freak with Cory Thomsen

It's so draining to have your sense of value all tied up in your productivity. And yet, it's no wonder. Our culture promotes and perpetuates this story at every turn. But lately I've noticed that more of us are having the conversation. More and more people are noticing that it doesn't feel good, and it doesn't work for them. In this episode of Guts & Grace, Priyanka Saju and Brigid Dineen take a deep dive into how to decouple these concepts, so that you can know your worth even when you're resting. Even when you're not monetizing your hobbies. Even when you're keeping some things just for you. Priyanka is a Toronto-based writer, poet and follower of creative impulses. She embraced writing as a medium to give voice to her unresolved feeling about her cross-cultural upbringing, the pursuit of success, and the nature of womanhood, self-acceptance and resilience. She is a woman of many hyphens, but considers Writer-Explorer-Diviner closest to her centre.

Episode 22 - Speaking to Be Heard with Jenna Smith

Our big feelings have a pivotal role to play when it comes to healing ourselves and healing the world. Often, we're taught that our feelings are a hindrance, and that makes us go into hiding. It's time for highly-sensitive big feelers to step into their gifts, because the world needs us now more than ever. In this episode of Guts & Grace, Carolyn Creed and I dive deep into how we can harness the wisdom of feeling in order to create new models of power and leadership. She even shares unique insights about the wisdom of horses, and what they can teach us about presence and strength. Carolyn’s passion is helping people reconnect to their authentic selves and live their life with greater purpose. Her soft, gentle presence allows clients to fully relax and feel safe to explore their soul, listen to–and trust–their heart, and awaken to their higher purpose. Carolyn combines her passion and reverence for horses with her mindfulness transformation work to help clients really experience their own power.

Episode 19 - What Polar Bear Plunging Taught Me About Discomfort with Paul Galloro

When I heard Emily's story, I was floored. I would never have guessed that a woman as vibrant, passionate, and expressive as her had struggled so much. It never ceases to amaze me that each one of us has lived through things that others could only imagine.  But here's the thing. When we share our stories, we don't need to imagine anymore.  Instead, we connect more deeply. We see ourselves in each other. We sense our common humanity. We begin to feel less alone, and together, we rise. In this episode, we dive deep into seeing our story as our strength. We ask some big questions, like: How do we allow our stories to transform us? In such a practical world, how can we begin to trust our imagination? What happens when we manage to do that? And Emily drops a nugget of wisdom that inspires me and gets me back in my groove anytime I'm struggling to know the answers to the big questions. When you don't know what to do or what to say, her advice will open your creativity right up. Emily Tamayo Maher is a writing coach and award-winning author.

Guts & Grace - Episode 18 - Your Story is Your Strength with Emily Tamayo Maher

Having earned two Harvard master’s degrees, Courtney imagined herself shooting like a firework into the sky, raining down amazing ideas and enjoying a life full of delightful colleagues and meaningful contributions. Instead, she says, her work flame had flickered brightly and died. When she looks back at a photo from this season of her life, she barely recognizes herself. The strain of three children under five and a demanding nonprofit leadership job left her depleted. What she most wanted was for someone to hand her a magic elixir – a formula that would free her to both discover and release her unique gifts to the world and to flourish in her personal life. In this episode of Guts & Grace, we ask some big questions. What does a woman who longs to make a contribution to the world while having her needs fulfilled need in order to flourish? Where do we get caught up along the way?  Many women have a deep knowing that the world needs us now - whether that means parenting really consciously, sharing our art or unique gifts, building a business, creating or contributing something. And they're feeling how Courtney felt - depleted and unsatisfied. What's one thing women can focus on to move beyond burnout and become well-resourced revolutionaries? Courtney Pinkerton is a certified holistic life coach and the author of the Amazon bestseller, The Flourish Formula: An Overachiever’s Guide to Slowing Down & Accomplishing More. Courtney is a student and a teacher of the Enneagram who has helped hundreds of busy women slow down and accomplish and enjoy more in their life. She holds dual master’s degrees from Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Kennedy School, is the creator of the eight-step Flourish Formula Coaching program, and hosts international retreats for women. After selling their house and all their belongings and spending a year adventuring in Nicaragua, Courtney and her husband Richard Amory and their three children are making a new home in a co-housing community in Asheville, North Carolina.

Guts & Grace - Episode 16 - Embracing Failure with Mandy Wintink, PhD

When I read Lindsay Johnson's blog post called "Finding the Love of My Life," I KNEW we had much to discuss about self-love. In it, she says, "I was great at listing my characteristics and my skills. I was great at defending my right to be here by listing my value to other people or my contribution to the world. I was great and valuing my worth based on what I did for others or on how others felt around me. Do you know what I wasn't great at? Loving myself." I had a similar awakening many moons ago, and I think it's something that affects many of us. The truth is that we're often confused about what self-love actually is and exactly how it's done. In this episode, Lindsay and I dive deep into the delight of learning to love yourself. Lindsay Johnson is passionate about building strong communities, while helping you connect more deeply to yourself, your business, and the world around you. She's on a mission to move people into a place of radical self-acceptance and self-love. She does that by helping people become rockstar entrepreneurs.

Guts & Grace - Episode 14 - Finding Meaningful Success W/o Sandblasting Your Soul with Dawn Kotzer

What if your inner critic is just the patriarchy in disguise? In this episode, Jen Pavich and I take a deep dive into internalized oppression - what it is, how it shows up, and how to let that shit go! If you believe you need to be more perfect before you really start to show up for your life & your dreams, you won't want to miss this. We connect the dots between what our culture tells us, what we tell ourselves, and the reality we're creating as a result. Jen asks us to consider what we've been taught about what it means to be a "good woman," and then ask ourselves whether or not we truly believe those things. Simple, and yet so powerful. Jen Pavich is a feminist life coach who helps women overcome all of the bullshit they've been taught about how to be a perfect woman so that they can unleash their inner badass, thrive in their lives, and smash the patriarchy.
