Kicking off this new season with a message of motivation to light a 🔥 under your 🍑.
On today's episode, I introduce you to Maggie Owen.
Maggie shares her story about how her and her Husband, Cale, were days away from having to close the doors on their gym in 2017. They decided to take a leap of faith and signed up to work with Alex and Leila Hormozi and their Gym Launch brand as a final attempt to save their business.
Maggie opens up about how challenging this period of time was for both her and her husband and how they were so close to losing it all... to the point where they would need to completely start over. During this difficult time, they learned Maggie was also pregnant.
Through the help of the Gym Launch model, Maggie and Cale were able to grow their monthly revenue from 3,000 to 45,000 dollars.
Fast Forward to today, Cale and Maggie are running operations at Gym Launch together as CEO and VP of Operations and are able to help gym owners transform their businesses by sharing their best practices. Maggie is also the VP of Prestige Labs and Gymowners.com.

Book: Coming soon, 2025!
On today's episode, we talk about how every new goal that you set for yourself requires for you to show up differently.
Many of us "change warriors" .. championing for change, are hungry and eager to create disruptive events that push us out of our comfort zones... but in reality, how many of us actually are making the next move once we've outgrown our current environments?
It's crucial to evaluate your goals, values, and aspirations to determine if a change is necessary for your continued development and well-being.
[PEP talk style]
I’m back with another season here on the Elle Potential Podcast and tonight I talk about breaking free from antiquated concepts that were once frowned upon in the work force.
On the episode, I talk about why you shouldn’t feel ashamed of stepping into a position of authority to take charge of increasing your financial well-being.
With the cost of living being on the rise, side hustles have become the new norm.
43% of full-time employees in America say they now have a lucrative side hustle. That’s almost half of the workforce.
If order to achieve financial freedom, you need to increase your level of financial literacy.
Educating, empowering, and harnessing yourself with experience enables you to grow your assets and multiply your streams of income.
Whether you're navigating professional challenges, seeking personal growth, or simply looking to boost your overall well-being, this episode is a guide on how to build your confidence.
Tune in for an empowering conversation that will leave you inspired, motivated, and armed with actionable strategies to build and sustain the confidence you deserve. It's time to step into your full potential and embark on a journey towards unshakeable self-assurance.
On the episode, we talk about what science has to say about HORMONES and BEHAVIOR. Hormones play a big role in our lives. As women, our bodies go through 4 different phases each month.
So let's talk high-level about how our hormones:
- impact our moods
- challenge our balance
- heighten our response and reactions
- prevent us from using our best judgement
The menstrual cycle typically consists of four phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal. Here's how each phase may affect behavior:
- Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5):
- Hormones: Estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest.
- Physical Symptoms: Menstruation, fatigue, and lower energy levels.
- Behavioral Impact: Some individuals may experience mood changes, irritability, or fatigue. Emotions may be more variable during this phase.
- Follicular Phase (Days 6-14):
- Hormones: Estrogen begins to rise.
- Physical Symptoms: Increased energy levels and a generally more positive mood.
- Behavioral Impact: Improved mood, higher energy, and increased social interaction. Cognitive abilities may be enhanced.
- Ovulatory Phase (Days 15-17):
- Hormones: Estrogen peaks, and there may be a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH).
- Physical Symptoms: Increased libido and possible mild bloating.
- Behavioral Impact: Higher confidence, enhanced communication skills, and an increased interest in social activities. Some individuals may experience an increased attraction to potential mates.
- Luteal Phase (Days 18-28):
- Hormones: Estrogen decreases, and progesterone increases.
- Physical Symptoms: Possible bloating, breast tenderness, and mood swings.
- Behavioral Impact: Some individuals may experience mood changes, irritability, and heightened sensitivity. There may be increased cravings for certain foods and a tendency to seek comfort.
It's important to note that not everyone will experience the same behavioral changes during each phase. Additionally, factors such as stress, lifestyle, and overall health can also influence how the menstrual cycle affects behavior.
In today's episode, we talk about the elegant power of leading with your femininity contrary to the stereotypical view on femininity being seen as less powerful than masculinity.
We discuss how you can still be poised, feminine and have powerful impact. Fully embrace your femininity, lead with grace.. and still be taken seriously.
With the Holiday Season upon us, I want to talk about my unique perspective in how I approach the holidays.
We spend all year going 100 pursuing our goals and dreams, so when it's time to kick back with the family and celebrate the holidays... that's exactly what I want to do .. kick back and enjoy quality time with my family.
Whether you are hosting or not, I go into detail about why I ditched the antiquated mindset surrounding the holidays and how to remove the ridiculous pressure that has been imposed upon us over the decades.
On the episode, we talk about the lazy girl job phenomena that is shifting the landscape of the workforce and how women think about their jobs.
I originally was against this newly coined term, the idea of "lazy" sounds disempowering and demotivating. I initially jumped to the conclusion that this movement would influence driving women away from professional pursuits and interestingly enough a recent Gallup study found otherwise.
Women are actually entering the workforce in record numbers.
So how is the lazy girl job movement shifting the professional landscape? We talk about this on the episode and explore what women really want.
In today's conversation, we talk about the importance of understanding the shifting workforce trends to maintain a competitive edge.
On tonight’s episode, we talk about the idea of "obsessions" as the ultimate hype. This ideology highlights the transformative power of intense passion and dedication.
I dive into my perspective about being obsessed with the things that you want. Intense passion and dedication can lead to remarkable achievements and generate significant excitement or interest.
- Achieving Excellence: Obsession often involves an unwavering commitment to a particular goal, project, or pursuit. This level of dedication can drive individuals to excel in their chosen field, as they are willing to put in the time, effort, and hard work necessary for success.
- Passion and Motivation: When someone is genuinely obsessed with something, it is often driven by their deep passion and enthusiasm for the subject. This passion can serve as a powerful motivator, keeping them focused and determined even in the face of challenges.
- Inspirational Stories: Many successful individuals have been described as "obsessed" with their goals. Their stories often serve as sources of inspiration, motivating others to pursue their own passions and dreams with similar dedication.
- Building Hype: Intense dedication and a singular focus can generate excitement and interest among others. When people witness someone's unwavering commitment and progress, they may become intrigued and inspired, contributing to the "hype" around that individual or their project.
However, it's important to note that while obsession can lead to great achievements, it can also have downsides. Excessive focus on a single goal or pursuit may lead to burnout, strained relationships, or neglect of other important aspects of life. Balance is key, and it's essential to consider the potential consequences of relentless obsession.
When harnessed effectively, obsession can lead to remarkable accomplishments and generate significant interest and excitement.
On today’s episode, we talk about how our words shape our reality.
Our words hold so much power and influence, especially to those whom we are exchanging them with.
The book: The Four Agreements
On tonight’s episode, we talk about how to make better choices. I share the 8 states of our wellbeing and how they influence your ability to make a choice.

-your occupational,

-your spiritual,
-your intellectual,
