MORE ALIVE PODCAST | with Andrea Crowder

What happens when a powerhouse in heels drops the mask, unhooks from hustle culture, and lets her feminine energy lead the way? You get this episode. Andrea sits down with the unapologetic force that is Monica Yates—coach, truth-teller, and newly minted New York Times bestselling author—for a soul-deep convo on what happens after the high of big success wears off… and the real work begins. 👠🔥 For the last 8 years, through somatic trauma healing and deep embodiment work, Monica has helped women overcome hyper-masculinity and reconnect with their feminine energy in a sustainable way, giving them everlasting expansion in all areas of their lives — business, love, family, health, and fertility. Monica has built a multi-million dollar business that has changed thousands of lives where people come to her for actionable, real advice without the ‘fluff.’   Monica cracks wide open about her personal evolution post-book launch: the grief that no one warned her would follow, the whiplash of being praised for her “success” while privately rebuilding her nervous system, and the sweet micro-moments that actually matter way more than the big wins. Inside this episode: The not-so-sexy aftermath of "having it all" (and why that’s the beginning, not the end). How the "girlboss era" trained us to outsource our worth—and how to unhook from that mess. Feminine energy decoded: how to stop managing life and start receiving it. Navigating financial power in relationships without dimming your light (or your bank account). The weird magic of letting joy—not control—be your business strategy. This is the kind of conversation that unzips your rib cage and lets your soul take a deeper breath. Monica doesn’t hold back, and neither does Andrea. Expect laughter, truth-bombs, and a few “oh f*ck, that was for me” moments.   Remember you are so resourced, here are the ones mentioned in this episode: Work with the Magic of Legend AI Follow Monica on Instagram Becoming Her Book www.monicayateshealth.com     Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!

🔥 What if the life you think you should want is actually keeping you from the one you’re meant for? On this episode of More Alive, Samantha Daly takes us on the kind of plot-twist journey that makes you question every “safe” decision you’ve ever made. From chasing corporate success to packing up for Spain on intuition alone, Samantha cracked open a life she never saw coming—one built on self-love, bold leaps, and the kind of business success that thrives on ease instead of exhaustion. Andrea and Samantha go deep on: 💋 The moment she knew the corporate dream wasn’t her dream 💋 Moving abroad on pure fuck-it-let’s-go energy (and meeting her fiancé in the process) 💋 Breaking up with body image struggles and learning to love her reflection 💋 The secret sauce behind magnetic personal branding (without faking a damn thing) 💋 Balancing hustle and flow in business—and why intuition always gets the final vote And of course, they get extra spicy about the dance between feminine and masculine energetics—because the way you move in life and love is the way you move in business.

On this episode of More Alive, we’re peeling back the glossy Instagram version of “community” and diving into what actually makes people feel connected, seen, and safe. Lindsay Marie didn’t just build Powerhouse Women—she cracked the code on how real intimacy in community happens. Lindsey is an author, investor, master community builder, and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!   We’re talking about why so many of us crave “community” when what we’re really looking for is depth, authenticity, and people who get us beyond the highlight reel. Lindsay shares the unexpected ways her own journey cracked her open and how learning to show up fully—flaws, fears, and all—became the secret to everything. If you’ve ever wondered why some relationships feel nourishing and others feel like a performance, this episode will shift something in you. Get ready to rethink how you connect, how you lead, and how you let yourself be seen.       Remember you are so resourced, here are the ones mentioned in this episode: Powerhouse Women Podcast Follow Powerhouse Women on Instagram Powerhouse Women Event August 15-17, 2025 - www.powerhousewomenevent.com     Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!

Ever wondered why some days you feel like a powerhouse and other days you just want to curl up with a blanket and tell the world “not today”? That’s not random—it’s your body’s natural rhythm at work.

Kim shares simple, practical ways to sync your lifestyle—think food, movement, even your sex life—with the different phases of your cycle, so you’re working with your body instead of against it. Oh, and if you’ve never tried a Yoni steam or cycle-supporting tea, get ready—Kim’s got the lowdown on how these little rituals can make a big difference. Hit play and let’s dive into what it really means to flow with your body, not fight it.     Remember you are so resourced here are the ones mentioned in this episode: Schedule A Consultation with Kim Follow Kim on Instagram Wild Woman Cycle Tea WOMB15 for 15% off     Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!

Pop the champagne, babe—this episode is straight-up delicious. I’m sitting down with my longtime friend, The Champagne Diet queen, and author of nearly ten books, Cara Alwill, for a conversation that’s as juicy as it is inspiring. Cara and I go way back, and in this episode, we’re reminiscing about our parallel journeys—breaking free from relationships that dimmed our sparkle, finding our voices in business, and navigating the highs and WTFs of dating. She shares the story of how she walked away from a life that felt too small, started her blog in 2008, and eventually became the powerhouse coach and creator she is today. We talk about staying alive in the artistry of our business without chasing the standards of success, the courage it takes to stay true to who you're becoming (instead of clinging to who you were), and why fear isn’t the enemy—it’s just part of the ride. If you’ve ever felt like your online presence is a tightrope walk between authenticity and expectation, this episode is basically your permission slip to drop the act and just be you. And because no convo with Cara would be complete without some love talk, she gives me the inside scoop on her upcoming book—a post-divorce dating memoir filled with all the lessons, laughter, and holy-sh*t moments that come with learning to love again (yourself included). So pour something bubbly, get cozy, and let’s dive in.     Remember you are so resourced, here are the ones mentioned in this episode: The Underdog Follow Cara on Instagram Cara Says It All Substack Cara Says It All Podcast   Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!

In this episode of the More Alive podcast, I’m thrilled to share an intimate and powerful conversation with Nicole Culver, one of my students and a shining embodiment of The Pleasure Model™ philosophy. Nicole is a seven-figure entrepreneur who didn’t just learn the model—she’s living proof of how prioritizing pleasure over pressure transforms business, relationships, and life itself. We dive into the story of her journey from hustle-driven burnout to deeply aligned, joy-fueled success. Nicole brought her curious and nuanced questions about what it really means to build wealth and impact with ease—and I got to share the practical, magnetic framework that changed everything for both of us: “Not a penny from pressure, only pleasure.”   Tune in as we explore: The subtle shift that freed Nicole to redefine success and wealth in her terms. Why your nervous system needs to rest before it can rise—and how pleasure is the key. How to spot (and stop) sneaky pressure in your business, parenting, or self-care. What happens when you let go of perfectionism and let the muse lead. My personal take on rewiring old scripts about "sacrifice equals success" (spoiler: it doesn’t). This isn’t just theory—this is about finding aliveness in everything you do, creating from curiosity and play, and magnetizing what you desire most. Whether you’re navigating a new season in your business or you’re curious about ditching hustle for good, Nicole and I are breaking it all down for you. Grab your headphones, hit play, and let’s shift into pleasure together.   Join The Pleasure Model™ here.   Leave me a voicemail HERE with your question for a chance to have it answered on a future episode!   Get notifications when new episodes drop by tapping the "follow" button!
