Your Story Is Your Brand with Stacey Tarrant Seven years ago, Stacey Tarrant's husband nearly died after heart surgery complications. She made herself a promise: if he pulled through, she would stop living the life everyone expected of her and start living her own. In this episode of Women, Unfiltered, I sit down with Stacey, a brand strategist, photographer and bestselling children's book author, to talk about what it really takes to let yourself be seen. With more than 30 years in marketing and branding, Stacey now helps women find their story and share it in a way that feels true. We talk about: The turning point that led Stacey to bet on herself Why so many women struggle to be visible, and how to catch the inner critic Being called "too sensitive" and realizing it's actually a superpower What Stacey sees behind the camera when women finally see themselves the way others do What authentic branding really means, and why business is personal Charging your worth and finding your people Trusting the process, and why our stories can become someone else's survival guide Connect with Stacey If you heard yourself in this conversation, Stacey would love to hear from you. She works one on one with women on brand strategy, storytelling and headshots.

Sarah Hepburn once thought her story was too ordinary to matter. Then she gave herself a quiet challenge: write 500 words a day for six weeks. Not knowing what else to write about, she started with her own life, and it changed how she saw herself. In this episode of Women, Unfiltered, I sit down with Sarah, a writer, the founder of Turning Pages Studio, and the bestselling author of Walking Forward. Sarah works with thoughtful women, often at a time of transition, reinvention or a midlife turning point, to turn a lifetime of wisdom into meaningful books, chapters and legacy stories. We talk about: How writing her own story helped Sarah uncover forgotten pieces of herself after becoming a mother Why women feel the pull to write: to help others, to process a season of life, or to leave a legacy How writing brings clarity, and the confidence to own your story Why we play down our own stories, and how comparison keeps us small Writing from the scar, not the wound Letting go of perfectionism, because there are no neat bows on life Sharing your story while respecting the people you love What legacy really means: letting the people you love know who you were and what you stood for A simple 10-minute writing prompt you can try today Connect with Sarah Sarah believes everyone has a story worth writing, and that sometimes it just takes a safe space and a trusted guide to tell it.

Today I'm joined by Jodie Heffren, a nurse of almost 20 years and founder of Rooted Woodland and Rooted Together. Jodie shares what nearly 20 years at the bedside taught her about the conversations families avoid. We also talk about why asking for help, pausing in nature, and taking one small step at a time matter so much in this season of life.
I'm joined by Ashlee Livingstone, a breathwork facilitator, speaker, author, and coach who helps women break free from burnout and the pressure to do it all. We dig into her own burnout story, her addiction to busyness, and what it really means to stop tying your worth to how much you get done.
I'm joined by one of my besties, Ruth Hirshberg, a registered social worker turned founder of Grounding with Ruth.
