The SheFactor Podcast

In case you didn't notice (because let's be real, we all have a LOT going on these days), I've been MIA since August 2021. SO much has happened and I'm giving you the FULL update here in this episode. From my health to moving to Denver to relationship ups and downs, navigating this season of my life has been far from easy. But I'm coming to you as a new woman. A woman I wouldn't have dreamed of being six months ago. In this episode, I deep dive into: Rate & Review The SheFactor Podcast |...

You know those moments of regret that still haunt you from your PRE-growth journey? All those drunk hookups, toxic friendships, and cries for love & attention... yeah, those moments. Those are all thanks to EMOTIONAL ILLITERACY, aka the lack of control over our emotions and our inability to healthfully cope. On the other side of the regrets, missteps, and "WTF" moments is EMOTIONAL HEALTH. And today's guest Ali McGregor is joining us to share how she found her way back to peace, self-love,...

In the first episode of this new chapter of The SheFactor Podcast, 26-year-old Emma Musto shares her real-life 20's version of Eat Pray Love (minus the divorce and Julia Roberts). In fact, it just might be better than the classic book & movie we all love… Needless to say, Emma was never destined for a “traditional” life, starting from the time she and her single mom lived 50/50 between Romania and Miami. It took a LOT of sudden change, wrong directions, and doing what she felt like she...

Our twenties are so much about unlearning everything we’ve been spoon-fed up to this point so we can return to the core of who we really are. As we grow up and start to do the inner work, we can unlearn all of the stories and beliefs conditioned to protect us over the years and tap into those traits and gifts still within us -- our natural-born state of love, enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity, compassion -- to enhance our quality of life, well-being, and happiness as an adult! By healing,...

The truth about self-growth is that it's not always pretty. In fact, it can be raw, emotional, hard, and exhausting. And sometimes you get so caught up in who you're becoming that you forget who you are. This week, Tori talks about the difference between being vulnerable with others and really being vulnerable with yourself. In this journey of self-discovery and evolution, we all have dark moments. We are all moving through something behind the Instagram highlight reel, the habitual "I'm...

In our twenties, it's easy for us to get caught up in what's holding us back from the life we're dreaming of. Dwelling on the latest office drama, being too hard on ourselves for not crossing everything off our to-do list, or even just feeling unmotivated by the season of life we're in. But for today's guest, the little inconveniences of her twenties were the least of her worries as she contemplated whether or not she'd be able to ever live a normal life again. In today's episode, Carrie...

"Follow your heart." We've heard it over and over again since we were kids, but what does it really mean? In traditional terms, the word courage comes from Latin and it means "acting with your heart." So, following your heart could mean having the courage to do what you think is right. But how the heck do you know what's right when your heart is telling you one thing, your head is telling you another, and everyone around you is telling you even MORE?! Just breathe. Easier said than done in...

On this week's episode, the tables are turning (literally). Tori invites a dear friend and host of the REAL FCKN TALK podcast Brenna Guinan on the show to interview her about the mental and physical health issues she's been facing for the last several months. Brenna may be a licensed therapist and mental health counselor, but she's also real AF and doesn't hold back when it comes to talking about her own sh*t, too. Tori and Brenna sit down to talk about the deep stuff, with comedic relief...

Ever wonder how a people-pleasing perfectionist defines success?! It's probably not what you’d think... Today's guest on our mini-series Success in 6 Minutes has a pretty simple formula for success: Naps (and snacks, duh...), Gratitude (all the blessings, rainbows & unicorns), and making sure your close circle is elevated. But it hasn't always looked like that. Cheyenne Baker is a 24-year-old with a penchant for expressing her thoughts through writing and amusing rants on her IG stories....

In honor of Women's History Month, we're asking ourselves... "What does it mean to be a woman?" For today's guest Melissa Herrera, being a woman means being resilient. Melissa is the host & creator of Mimosa Sisterhood, a women’s history & lifestyle podcast dedicated to celebrating & amplifying women’s voices, past and present.

Let’s talk WOMANHOOD. In honor of International Women’s Day, we have a special two-part series this week talking all about the parts of being a woman we rarely ever talk about… periods, sex, desire, and honoring our bodies. Gone are the days where women used to go away together to celebrate the coming of their period under the moon, dancing and connecting over this beautiful thing that only we as women get to experience. When did we make talking about our periods “awkward” or feel “icky”...

We had been planning on sitting down to record a podcast with one of our SheFactor members Julia of @geobreezetravel since last May but put it off until it was time to talk all about FINANCE (she IS the queen of travel hacking and credit card points, duh). Little did we know, the timing of it all would surface a much more alarming conversation… Ever since the rise of COVID-19, there has been a MAJOR increase in hate-crimes against the Asian community. But as much as people want to believe...
