A few weeks ago, my guest and I were in the same room in Austin for Rachel Hollis's Rise Elevate conference. Today we're unpacking what actually happened including the honest parts that not every would say out loud.

This is a real conversation between two women who showed up nervous, got cracked open, and came home with more than they expected. 

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • What it actually feels like to walk into a room full of strangers and try to be brave...even when you're a confident, high-achieving woman
  • The writing exercise that created an aha moment
  • Why Rachel pricing drama is one of the most relatable things she shared from stage and what it means for every woman who's ever undercharged
  • "There are no fairy godmothers," Asia's keynote philosophy and the 2026 goal she called out loud
  • What actually keeps the conference magic alive after you go home -- It's less sexy than you think
  • "Something doesn't have to be wrong for it to not be right for you" -- a note on outgrowing rooms, relationships, and containers
