  Comedy Club Barbie: Leah Knauer on Finding Your Funny & Owning Who You Are

  Aug 10, 202629 min

  I discovered Leah Knauer while scrolling before bed and immediately started cracking up! So naturally, I reached out - and I’m SO glad I did. Leah, aka “Comedy Club Barbie,” is a comedian, actor, singer, and ridiculously talented impersonator. But what makes her such a Rockstar is that she finally stopped worrying about what everyone else thought and started fully owning who she is. That’s when things really started taking off- and the rest is pretty damn fabulous and funny! We talk comedy, impersonations, confidence, going viral, being unapologetically yourself, and why making people laugh can be such a powerful thing. She’s also got some exciting acting projects ahead, so you’re going to want to follow along and watch where this girl goes next. And a little warning: this is my raunchiest episode yet. There are definitely some grown-up moments, so maybe save this one for when the kids aren’t around! I recently learned that Leah is also sober and became even more inspired by the choices she’s made to live life boldly and on her own terms. Go listen, laugh, and meet your new favorite comedian rockstar!

  From Startup to Global Brand: Fearless Lessons from Rebecca Minkoff

  Jul 29, 202632 min

  What does it really take to build a global brand while staying true to yourself? In this episode of Everyday Rockstars, I sit down with fashion entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder Rebecca Minkoff for an honest conversation about courage, creativity, resilience, and what it means to keep showing up, even when things don’t go as planned. Rebecca shares the mindset that has carried her through incredible growth, difficult setbacks, and the constant evolution of building a business. We talk about getting comfortable with failure, trusting your instincts, tuning out comparison, and the surprising truth about what so many female founders think they need to succeed. Listen to the end! We also discuss the amazing work she’s doing through the Female Founder Collective, where she’s helping female entrepreneurs build thriving businesses through connection, education, and community. I love that she’s such a girl’s girl. She genuinely wants to see us all thrive! Gorgeous bags aside, I really became a superfan once I read her book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success. It’s refreshingly honest. Like honest honest. She shares not only the victories, but also the big mistakes, pivots, and personal lessons that shaped her, including things about motherhood, health, hormones, confidence, and learning to make herself a priority. The book is a reminder to me- it ain’t always easy, but your dreams are worth it. YOU are worth it. What struck me most was how accessible she is. We spoke as if we knew each other forever. I also love how she leads with honesty, humility, and a willingness to keep learning, qualities that make her as badass as the brand she’s built. Stay until the end to hear what Becky believes keeps her in rockstar mode (yes, she said I could call her that)! ;) Whether you’re building a business, navigating a career, or simply looking for the courage to take your next step, this conversation is filled with wisdom you’ll want to come back to again and again.

  Meet the DreamCatchers: Marissa & Jamie, the Fairy Job Mothers Every Young Professional Needs!

  Jun 19, 202650 min

  We spend years helping our kids get into college, and then suddenly they’re expected to know how to network, build a LinkedIn profile, find internships, interview with confidence, and somehow land a job. 😳 It’s kind of wild when you think about it. That’s why I loved talking with sisters Jamie and Marissa of The Dream Catchers. They’re part career coaches, part recruiters, part cheerleaders, a little bit therapists, and certainly “fairy job mothers!” Drawing on years of experience in recruiting and HR, they help students and recent graduates bridge the gap between college and career with confidence, strategy, and a lot less stress! From landing the internship that can lead to a dream job to making meaningful connections and standing out in a crowded job market, they share the practical advice every young adult needs, but rarely gets. What I loved most about this conversation wasn’t just their expertise. It was THEM. Jamie and Marissa have a warmth, humor, and genuine passion for helping young people succeed that makes you instantly trust them. They balance each other beautifully, bring real heart to their work, and make what can feel overwhelming suddenly seem pretty manageable. Whether you have a college freshman, a graduating senior, a recent grad, or even a young professional looking for direction, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable takeaways.👏 I left this conversation thinking how every young adult deserves a Jamie and Marissa in their corner. Thank you, rockstars! 🤩🤩It’s apparent YOU both are in your dream jobs! Please check this episode out and share with a young professional that you care about.

  Step Out of Line: Building Power, Purpose, and Presence with Peri Finkelstein

  Apr 14, 202625 min

  Stand back! This is what a rockstar sounds like. 🤩 Peri Finkelstein doesn’t just tell a story, she commands attention. In this episode, she shares what it took to move through years of being underestimated, bullied, and boxed in… and how she turned all of it into fuel for something far bigger than herself. 💪 Founder of the Team Peri Foundation, podcast host of Step Out of Line, speaker, and unapologetic truth-teller, Peri is building a life rooted in resilience, inclusion, and radical self-definition. There is a moment in this conversation where she describes refusing to be measured by limitation, and instead choosing to speak from power. It changes EVERYTHING! And, it makes you think about your own life where you need to “step out of line.” But what makes Peri unforgettable is not just what she’s overcome, it’s how she shows up in the world: courageous, thoughtful, brilliant, grounded, and unshakably herself, defined by no one else but herself. 👊 This is a conversation about voice. About courage. And about what happens when you decide you are no longer stepping aside for anyone. If you’ve ever been told to stay in line… this episode may be your invitation to step out of it. 👏👌 Peri, your words and your accomplishments have really inspired me! I am grateful our paths have crossed. 🥰 Please check out Peri’s exceptional TED Talk narrated by Mayim Bialek here
