You know this moment: you make a plan on a quiet Sunday, with a cup of tea, convinced this is your week? Then Wednesday hits, everyone needs something from you, and your goal slips to the bottom of the list.

If you're great at showing up for everyone else but struggle to follow through for yourself, this episode is for you. I'll share why motivation can help but won't carry you far, how to choose one action small enough to finish, and the skill that...

You want something. Maybe you've carried it quietly for years. Maybe you've talked yourself out of it more times than you can count. Somewhere along the way, you started measuring that desire against a long list of questions: Is this selfish? Am I grateful enough? Shouldn't I just be content with what I already have?

Jordan Raynor is back on the show to help you tell the difference between a God-given desire and a distraction, understand why so many faith-filled women stay stuck in overthinking...

Some women grow faster than others, and after having a front-row seat to it all year, I was surprised by the reason. It had very little to do with talent and even less to do with who worked the hardest. What made the difference was who got close enough to help them see what they couldn't see for themselves.

In this solo episode, I unpack the three places women tend to get stuck, why it's so difficult to spot them on your own, and the...

A handwritten list of everything he thought was wrong with Jess Connolly landed in her hands, and the man who felt like family walked out. Her knees hit the floor. That kind of fear, the one that whispers you are the problem, is something so many of us carry quietly.

In her most personal book yet, Jess talks about fear, faith, and the nervous system, and shows how that can help you face fear without shame. She explains what happens in your body when panic...

Most of us grow only when something finally gives way. You learn to set a boundary after you’ve been flattened. You find your confidence a few minutes before the conference call. It works, but it means growth depends on pain showing up first. This episode is about a different way to grow: building capacity in midlife before anything breaks, so you’re already ready when life asks more.

When I talk about this, I call it the difference between repair and capacity. Repair is what...

You’re doing the things. You bought the probiotic, you’re eating cleaner, you’re trying to sleep. And somehow your energy still isn’t where you want it. In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole go deeper into gut health, cellular energy, and the surprising truth that how you feel isn’t only about what you eat. It’s also about what you carry. This one is about healing that actually lasts and learning how to hold onto your energy for the long hau...

Your phone is holding what you meant to come back to: a plan, a half-finished application, and an email from someone whose work you love, still marked important.

In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to be the woman who keeps circling the thing she wants to start. I unpack why waiting rarely feels like a real choice. I show how procrastination gets heavier the longer you carry it and how to put a real number on what waiting has already taken...

You’ve done everything you’re supposed to do. You eat well, move your body, take supplements, and still feel exhausted, foggy, and off. If you’ve ever been told your labs look fine when you know something isn’t, this conversation is for you. Alli sits down with two of the most trusted voices in natural medicine, Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole, to talk about why real healing starts at the cellular level and why common has never meant normal.

This is Part 1 o...

You've read all the books about raising a confident son or daughter. You want your kids to believe they can do hard things. But the minute a grown woman says the same thing about herself, out loud, that she’s ambitious and chasing more and not one bit sorry, it suddenly feels vain.

This episode is about that gap, because our kids' confidence has almost nothing to do with the pep talk in the car and everything to do with what they see us do wi...

There’s something you keep coming back to: a city, a business, a first appointment, the email you’ve avoided since spring. You’ve explained why it can’t happen for you so many times that the explanation started to sound like wisdom.

In this conversation, Annie F. Downs and I talk about the difference between fear and wisdom, why so many of the nos we live by never came from real evidence, and what it looks like to keep moving when you feel uncertain, discoura...

Have you ever prayed for growth, watched God answer, and then wondered why everything suddenly felt harder instead of easier? When the moves that always worked stop landing, that doesn’t mean you missed God or took a wrong turn. It’s one of the clearest signs you’re growing. In this solo episode, I talk about the core takeaway: the habits and beliefs that built your current life won’t always carry you into the next, and you need to set down what’s finished so your hands...

You shared what you’re working toward, and you watched her face go from polite to a little puzzled. So you made it smaller. You called it a side thing. And somewhere along the way, you stopped mentioning it at all.

Real loneliness comes with having a calling, and most women won’t say it out loud because it feels like complaining about something you’re supposed to be grateful for.

In this episode, I’m talking with three women from the same Catalyst...

You already know the choice in front of you. It’s been sitting in your heart for a while. If you’ve felt stuck, waiting to feel confident or ready or brave enough to move, ask yourself what you’re still waiting for. It takes the drama out of changing your life and brings it back to something simple and freeing. Transformation isn’t a lightning bolt. It’s one small decision, made again on ordinary mornings when no one is watching and the excitement has faded.

You can name my attachment style, your Enneagram number, and your diagnosis over dinner without blinking. But when the house goes quiet and nobody needs anything from you, you feel strangely unreachable to yourself.

That gap between knowing the language and feeling connected is the question I want to explore: what does it take to feel secure from the inside out?

Therapist and author Dr. Alison Cook is back with me to walk through her new book, The Secure Soul, and the three pa...

You did the thing. You hit the goal I’d been chasing for months, maybe years. And the text back was a thumbs up and one exclamation point, and something in you sank.

A very specific loneliness can come with growing into your calling, and almost no one names it. You’ve felt it more than once. When you work so hard to become stronger and braver, it can hurt when the people you love don’t always know how to celebrate it.

You wake up, and your hand goes straight to your phone before your feet even touch the floor. By ten in the morning, you’re wired and foggy at the same time, reaching for sugar, caffeine, and one more scroll I already know will make me feel worse.

That pattern has a real reason behind it, and it comes down to four brain chemicals that shape how we feel every day: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Neuroscientist TJ Power calls this system DOSE, and understanding how...

Two women came to me in the same week. One had just made a partner. The other finally launched the business she’d been afraid to start for years. Their lives couldn’t have looked more different, but they were circling the same question: Who am I becoming while I’m building all of this?

If you’re in a hard season and building something, this episode gives you a different way to see it. Finding your calling was never only about the work. The work has b...

Most of us were raised to be careful with money. Save it, stretch it, wait for the sale. Those habits matter, but nobody ever taught me the other half: how to make money grow while I sleep.

In Part 2 of my money mindset series, I’m closing that gap with the four decisions wealthy women make with every dollar, and the one question that quietly changes how you spend. Not “can I afford this?” but “what kind of future does this build?”

You’re eating clean, sleeping more, doing everything you’re supposed to do for your health, and your body still isn’t getting the message. In part 2 of this conversation, Harvard psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer explains why “chronic” doesn’t mean permanent and shares a simple, science-backed mindfulness practice that has helped people with MS, stroke, Parkinson’s, and chronic pain see real improvement.

This episode picks up right where part 1 left off, so start there if you haven’t listened yet. Dr. Langer breaks down what it...

You’ve stood at the kitchen counter with your phone in your hand, looking at the price of the one thing that would actually move your business forward, and talked yourself into waiting until next year. I’ve stood there too. 

After all these years of coaching women who went on to build real wealth, the thing that surprised me was never the size of their accounts. It was how much they all thought the same way, like someone handed them a tiny list of money rules and forgot to give...

You are doing everything right for your health, and you still don’t feel like yourself. Dr. Ellen Langer, the Harvard psychologist known as the mother of mindfulness, has spent fifty years showing that the mind and body are not two separate systems. They are one. And when you understand that, it changes everything about how much influence you actually have over your own well‑being.

You’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth, already three meetings ahead in your mind, when that familiar thought slips in: I should be further along by now. If that feeling has been circling you lately, this episode is for you.

What does a neuroscientist actually think women in their forties and fifties should be doing for their brains? Dr. Kay Linker has real answers, and they are probably not what you expect.

I sat down with Dr. Linker, a neuroscientist, researcher, and founder of the female longevity supplement brand Aeonian, for one of the most practical and science‑rich conversations we have ever had on this show. We talk about brain health in midlife, the hormones that protect your neurons, the supplements that are worth your t...

Ashley Collins, my chief of staff and resident PhD I love to brag about, is back asking the questions you’ve been waiting for.

It’s 9:47 at night. There’s dark chocolate on the couch. You’ve got seven tabs open, including one about remote jobs in Maine and another about careers where no one can Slack you. You’ve decided you’re going to become a florist, open a coffee shop in Vermont, or move somewhere so small it doesn’t even have a zip code.

Sound familiar?

Here’s what’s actually going on: this isn’t clarity. It’s overload. And overload can feel almost exactly like revelation...

Something different is happening this week on Smart Girl Summer. I’m in the chair.

Ashley Collins, my chief of staff and a whole PhD holder (yes, I tease her about it constantly), has been quietly collecting the things I say when the mic is off: the coaching wisdom that never makes it to air, the personal stories I usually only share with clients, and the honest parts of building something for 20 years without a map. This episode is Ashley finally making me say those t...

You’re at your kid’s school event, paper plate in hand, fluorescent lights buzzing loudly overhead. Someone asks what you do. You managed a whole department that morning. You built something real. And somehow the words that come out of your mouth are, “Oh, I just have this little side project I’m figuring out.”

That’s the self‑edit. You’ve done it before. You know it well. You just can’t seem to stop.

Writer, podcaster, and longtime reader‑advocate Laura Tremaine joins Alli for a conversation that blends honest business reflection with a genuine pep talk about what still matters.

Laura has been at this for years. She co-hosted the wildly popular Sorta Awesome podcast, launched Smartest Person in the Room and 10 Things to Tell You, and wrote two...

You made the decision this morning. Coffee still hot, intention alive. By 9:15, you had talked yourself right out of it.

If that feels a little too familiar, stay with me for this episode.

I’m introducing something I call the self‑negotiation loop. It’s the pattern where you already know exactly what to do, carry the decision for weeks or even months, and let every delay feel perfectly reasonable in the moment. The issue isn’t motivation. It isn’t discipline. It’s the way your bra...

Leadership coach and author Selena Rezvani has spent her career sitting with that exact question, and in this conversation, she brings the kind of stories and truth that land deep.

Selena teaches leaders how to build trust and share power, and she does so with credibility that comes only from real life. She has bombed the interview. She has eaten the whole...

Have you ever caught yourself holding back an idea, not because you found a better way to say it, but just to make it easier for someone else to hear? This quiet habit of downplaying what you really think or want can sneak up on you. Over time, it can make you start living smaller without even realizing it.

In this episode, I share a story from a recent Catalyst retreat at Seacrest on 30A. While we sat in a circle, one woman leaned in and s...

Shifts are happening. Women in their 40s are coming to therapy not because life is unraveling, but to rediscover who they are. Therapist Niro Feliciano, a Today Show regular, calls this process excavating, pulling back layers of output, caretaking, and self-doubt to find the woman underneath.

In this episode of Smart Girl Summer, Niro and I talk about the real reasons women hesitate to bet on themselves, where those self-limiting beliefs actually start (yes, middle school makes an appearance), and the two questions every woman needs to star...

A voice in your head can sound wise: calm, reasonable, urging, "Don’t overcomplicate this." For most of my life, it helped me go far.

But when making a decision about my future, I realized that voice echoed an earlier version of me. It didn’t know what I know now.

In this episode, I share lessons from a challenging season. My husband was sick. Two of my boys faced unsolved health issues. I was running a company and holding my family together. This episode focuses...

When I think about Crystal Paine’s story, I always come back to how it really started. She did not launch Money Saving Mom with a polished business plan. She launched it from a basement apartment while she was sick during her first pregnancy, with a laptop and a real need to figure out how to make money online because they were almost broke. Two years later, a simple three day ebook bundle sale brought in three thousand dollars, and she realized she was building something that mattered.

You know those seasons when everything just works. The business thrives. The marriage feels steady. The work is dialed in. And then, almost without noticing, you hear yourself say: "It is fine." Not because anything is falling apart, but because things are going so well your nervous system starts tapping the brakes.

This episode is about the upper limit problem, the point when success starts to feel like too much and, quietly, you turn down the volume. If you've ever waited for the other shoe to drop duri...
