Bring Your Big Energy

F*ck the fairytale. Find your own magic. 🔥

This conversation is about burnout, perfectionism, and “good girl” conditioning and the brave work of starting over when the life you built no longer fits.

Mandy Merrifield shares the Intensity Point that changed everything,
why it starts with questioning the shoulds,
and a raw conversation on sobriety, identity, and rebuilding.

We say we want authentic leaders.
But then we reward perfection. 👀

In this clip, Dr. Z shares why vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s leadership.

And in the full episode, we go deeper:
✨ Why high-performing women feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected
✨ What “coherence” actually means (and why pushing harder isn’t the answer)
✨ Why your symptoms aren’t failures — they’re intelligent signals
✨ How nervous system regulation is the real foundation for confidence + resilience
✨ Micro tools you can use immediately (no hour-long meditation required)

If you look successful on the outside but feel off on the inside…
this one will hit.

🎙️ Watch the full conversation on The Bring Your Big Energy YouTube channel or listen anywhere you consume your podcasts! 💛✨

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build. 💥

In this episode, Toby Brazwell and I talk about the real foundation of confidence: connection, preparation, listening, and community.

From music to sales leadership to running for City Council, Toby shares why confidence is a team sport and how investing in others strengthens your own growth.

Ask yourself today: Why you? Why not you? 🔥

🎧 Listen to the full episode of Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Have you ever felt too sensitive for the room?

Too intuitive.
Too creative.
Too different for the system you were trying to survive inside?

Today on Bring Your Big Energy, I sat down with Elana Merzin — founder of The WildHERness Collective — and we talked about burnout in impact work, neurodivergence, healing through art, and what it really takes to reclaim your creativity.

This conversation is for every empathetic, wildly creative woman who has ever dimmed her gifts to fit in.

“Art is medicine for the soul.”
“We need more time to be quiet.”
“Be gentle with yourself.”

If this resonates, share it with a woman who needs to hear it.

Big Energy isn’t about being more. It’s about being fully you.

I am so pumped about this event! Putting the finishing touches on my keynote as we speak! If you don’t already have a ticket go grab yours now :-)

Kimberly Willis didn’t just survive, she rebuilt with purpose. 💛

In this week’s episode of Bring Your Big Energy, we talk about resilience, community support, honoring grief, and what it really means to turn pain into power.

Because resilience isn’t the finish line.
It’s small incremental courageous daily decisions.
It’s building something meaningful from what tried to break you.

If you’ve ever faced something that changed you — this conversation will remind you that you are not done. You’re just beginning, and this time rooted firmly in purpose.
