The Workwomb Podcast

Turning Pain into Purpose with the Founders of Semaine HealthIf you’ve ever been curious about what it looks like to start a product-based biz, get into retailers, or alchemize your own struggle into something that serves others, you’re gonna eat this convo right up.I had the pleasure of chatting with Catherine and Lauren Lee — endometriosis warriors, founders of Semaine Health, and just all-around powerhouses when it comes to turning pain into purpose. We go deep into their own journeys with endo, PCOS, and IBS — and how what started as pain and suffering became not just relief, but the birth of Semaine Health!And even if you’re not biz-curious — if you’re just a human with a uterus — this episode is such an inspiring conversation about women’s health, period pain, menopause, stress, and the magic of plants.We got into everything: Their 15+ year journey with endometriosis and finally getting answers How a pain-free-period smoothie turned into a legit supplement biz The wild world of supplements (spoiler: most aren’t regulated) Growing Semaine from kitchen experiments to Walmart shelves (!!) Why women deserve support at every stage — from first period to perimenopause and beyondThis one is such a blend of personal, practical, and powerful. Catherine and Lauren are hilarious, brilliant, and so generous in sharing their story.And full disclosure: I am literally chewing on one of their PMS gummies as I type this. They’re basically anti-inflammatory candy and I cannot keep them in my house because my husband and my five-year-old eat them all.So, whether you’re here for the biz inspo, the period relief, or just to hear two badass women talk about turning pain into power — dive in. You’re gonna love it!Trigger warning: Endometriosis, emergency surgery, and cesarean birth.Connect with Catherine & Lauren + Semaine Health: Website: semainehealth.com Instagram: @semainehealthMentioned in this episode: Semaine PMS & Period Support Gummies (aka “anti-inflammatory candy”) Semaine Stress Less Gummies Center for Endometriosis Care – Atlanta, GA Outlive by Peter Attia The Honey Pot (Bea Dixon’s fem care brand) The Body Shop (founded by Anita Roddick)Wanna get your inflammation (HsCRP) and other labs checked to see if you're headed toward systemic inflammation?

Back in the Closet — Let’s Talk Selling That Feels Like ServiceOkay, I’m back in the closet (aka: my DIY podcast studio) for a juicy AF training episode on something I’ve been living, breathing, and teaching: how to SELL how you serve — aka in a way that feels like an extension of your already aligned service.Because let’s be real — a lot of us get itchy at the word “selling.” You’d rather people just found your work and loved it. But what if your content, your presence, your storytelling… was the sale?In this episode, I’m unpacking: The mindset shift that turns “selling” into service How to align your sales strategy with your zone of genius (yes, even if that’s dancing, painting, or voice-noting while eating cereal) Why giving your audience a taste of what you offer builds trust, credibility, and conversion What to do if traditional strategies (like email funnels or Pinterest) feel like a hard no in your body The practical framework I use to weave sales into my weekly workflow — with a side of banana bread analogiesThis one’s part storytelling, part workshop, part permission slip to do business your way.If you’re a creative, artist, healer, or heart-led entrepreneur who struggles to “sell yourself,” this is the reframe your nervous system has been craving.P.S.

Katie emphasizes that we often need to wither before we can bloom again, reflecting a deep understanding of the creative process and the power of adaptability in today's ever-changing landscape.

Okay, real unhinged car pod here for you!I’ve had it on my to-do list for two weeks to record this episode about meeting your biz where you’re at—so today, I’m recording this in the car, earbuds in, A/C blasting, and a 20-minute drive ahead of me.

What changes when we let go of rigidity and respond to what’s real.

Okay, people… you're in for such a juicy conversationToday I’m joined by my dear friend Samantha Jo — Pleasure Queen and creator of The Pleasure Codes, a spiritual, somatic method for thriving and exponential growth.She has such a phenomenal way of approaching pleasure. Honestly, I don’t always resonate with folks in the pleasure space ⎯ sometimes it feels performative or exhibitionist in a way that doesn’t land for me. (Which is funny, because I used to be an actress and love being seen on stage!) But Samantha's work is the polar opposite.Samantha guides visionary women and rebels at heart beyond overwhelm and limitations into their most iconic, liberated, prosperous, and pleasure-filled reality. Blending sacred sexuality, nervous system expansion, and energetics, she helps high-level leaders and entrepreneurs unlock their deepest magnetism, wealth, and impact with ease.Through her classes, courses, 1:1 coaching, and her signature six-month mastermind The Temple, she empowers women to embody their full radiance, reclaim their desires, and normalize the extraordinary.She’s so aligned. So grounded. So juicy.She talks about her holy calling as being a steward of the pleasure revolution — and it’s beautiful. Feminine. Sacred. And ultimately, so supportive of the entrepreneurial journey that it felt absolutely perfect to bring her on today.We had an epic convo — like, truly — talking everything from sexy time with her husband, to the evolution of their marriage: from separation… to gourmet sex, and how they saved their marriage. I find her work so fascinating because it’s rooted in science and somatics and so easily transposable to business.In this episode, we dive into: How Samantha and her husband went from separation to soul-deep reconnection, and what “gourmet sex” had to do with it. (12:30) Why pleasure is a biz strategy and how tuning into desire can unlock exponential growth. (19:45) What it really means to be “the steward of a pleasure revolution” and how Samantha approaches sacred sexuality with reverence and depth. (27:10) How somatics, nervous system expansion, and embodiment can support visibility, leadership, and entrepreneurship. (34:50) The power of reclaiming your desires, normalizing extraordinary, and leading with your full radiance. (42:15)If you’re thinking, “What does pleasure have to do with business?” The answer is: Everything. Everything. EVERYTHING.So grab a bevy, get cozy, and prepare to fall in LOVE with Samantha!Connect With Samantha Jo: Instagram: @the.samanthajo Offers: stan.store/thesamanthajo The Pleasure Codes — Her signature method The Temple — Her 6-month mastermind for visionary womenMentioned In This Episode: Gourmet Sex Saved Our Marriage | With Pleasure Podcast Biz on the Beach — Somatic biz retreatLove this pod?

The difference between a hobby and a business? It’s money, honeeeey.And we make money by selling our products and services. I used to cringe at all of this (sales felt icky and tacky). But if what you do makes people’s lives better — whether you’re a babysitter, florist, massage therapist, or anything else — then it’s your DUTY to share it. Full stop.In this episode, I'm walking you through my intuitive framework for lead gen that skips the bro-marketing and starts with this simple truth: Your message matters. And your people can’t buy from you if they don’t know you exist.If lead gen has felt hard, awkward, or exhausting, this episode is your permission slip to reimagine it.We’re unpacking: Why visibility isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being remembered. (4:26) The difference between a borrowed audience vs. an owned audience—and how to use both strategically. (16:04) What it really means to sell how you serve, so your marketing feels like magic, not manipulation. (52:13) How to make pitching part of your weekly marketing ritual (without hating it). (28:47) Why knowing what you’re selling right now changes everything about your message and your momentum.

What does building a creative career your way really look like?We’re diving into this question in episode 25 with my dear love, Shaina Evoniuk. She’s a powerhouse human. A mama. A musician. A genre-defying creative. And wow — you’re going to love this firecracker of a human and all she shares in this episode.Shaina and I actually met way back in 2009 during a yoga training. We were paired up as “yoga buddies” and from the second I met her, I adored her fire. (Also... she’s an Aries. I married an Aries. I birthed an Aries. Sooo I clearly have a type.)Shaina is a classically trained violinist with a career that’s anything but classical. She’s toured the world, played with artists like Leon Bridges, Lizzo, and Shawn Mendes, and performed at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall and the Super Bowl. She’s also the founder of multiple ensembles, a go-to contractor for major brands and events, and a true creative force in every sense of the word.In this episode, we dive into: How Shaina went from classical violinist to multi-genre violinista — and built a biz out of what lit her up. (15:00) Why rebranding her business meant going deep into her own identity and purpose. (10:00) How she approaches pricing, value, and negotiation as a gig-based artist (and why Bloomingdale’s doesn’t pay the same as Planned Parenthood). (31:30) What motherhood taught her about boundaries, business, and only saying yes to what’s really worth it. (44:00) The importance of improvisation, honoring your energy, and building a life that actually works for you — on and off stage. (57:00)So yeah. Shaina knows her shit. She’s not just a wildly talented artist — she’s a brilliant, inspiring creative entrepreneur with so much wisdom to share.If you’re someone who gigs, contracts, or pieces together your work in creative ways, this one’s especially for you!Connect with Shaina: @shainaviolinista on Instagram shainaviolinista.comMentioned in This Episode: Hit Woman Honey – Shaina’s solo album Cosa Nostra Strings – her genre-defying ensemble The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Can you make something go viral? Let’s talk about it…Today’s episode is a juicy book-club-meets-marketing-masterclass moment inspired by my latest read, Contagious by Jonah Berger. This one was originally for my Elevated Mastermind babes (yes, we have a book club because I'm obsessed with #AlwaysLearning), but the takeaways were too good not to share. Think: virality explained, minus the gimmicks, plus essential oils and metaphorical $100 steaks.So if you’ve ever wondered why some ideas spread like wildfire and others fizzle out—and how to ethically, soulfully create something worth sharing—let’s dive in.I’m riffing on: What “social currency” really means and how to make your brand something people want to associate with. (7:58) How triggers make your biz top of mind + tip of tongue. (18:21) Why “When people care, they share” is your new marketing mantra. (28:33) What public visibility has to do with virality (and how to make the intangible feel tangible). (37:20) How to create actual practical value, not just more noise. (44:29) Why stories are the Trojan horse of content that actually converts. (51:13)From emotional storytelling to strategic brand partnerships, we’re unpacking Jonah's six steps that make things contagious and how to apply them without selling your soul to the algorithm.This isn’t about going viral just for the likes. It’s about making your message matter, helping your people feel something, and showing up in a way that sticks.Grab a cozy bevvy, crack open your notes app (or your fave pen and paper), and let’s goooo.Mentioned In This Episode: Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger Ep 12 ✨ How to Go from $40k Months to $0k Months in 10 Easy Steps Ep 4 🧠 The Four Types of Buyers and How to Speak to Them The Elevated Mastermind CircleLove this pod?

This is SUCH a fun convo I had with Chelsea Riffe, world traveler and the host of the hit podcast, In My Non-Expert Opinion, a top 1% pod known for bringing transparency around biz, creativity, and travel. She's a dedicated podcast strategist helping women take down the patriarchy one episode at a time. She's also been my personal pitching coach, which has been SUCH. A. Dream. (For all the spiritual peeps, she's an Aquarius Sun, Virgo Moon, Virgo Rising—same as me! #twins!—and a 6/2 Reflector in Human Design.)We talked about the capacity battery of being an entrepreneur and being a creative. We talked about why you deserve a seat at the table, why your message matters. We talked about running a lean biz. We talked about seasonal business and cyclical business and taking breaks and riding the waves of launches. We talked about her work BTS and why you don't need to help everyone in the world to scale your business. And if it's not obvious—podcasts. We talked about the power of a good ole' POD!We dive into: Chelsea’s nomadic lifestyle, why she chose Cape Town, and how her values drive her biz decisions. (2:46) How she pivoted away from 13 1:1 clients and created a business that honors her capacity. (9:15) What “wavy marketing” really looks like and why leaning into seasonal business models can change everything. (19:10) Why podcasting beats the algorithm every time, and how it became her most powerful (and fun!) marketing tool. (30:07) The messy middle of pivoting, letting go of old offers, and building a business that lights her up from the inside out. (41:53)You're gonna freaking love this if you're a digital nomad, if you're someone who's pivoted industries in your biz, or if you just love a good story about expressing yourself and creating your ideal biz—not what you see in the world, but what honors your capacity, who you are, and how you want to work. If you're thinking of starting your own podcast, or curious about the importance of podcasts as part of your marketing strategy, this is going to light a fire under your sweet booty.Connect with Chelsea: Instagram: @chelseariffe Website: chelseariffe.com Substack: Slight Turbulence Podcast: In My Non-Expert OpinionMentioned in This Episode: 4000 Weeks – Oliver Burkeman How I Built This Podcast – Guy Raz Pitch Perfect – Chelsea’s signature podcasting program The Elevated Circle – Abbi’s 6-Month Mastermind Sisterhood for Intuitive Biz OwnersLove this pod?

How do you know when you're doing enough? Oh, that's easy! Wait — doesn't everybody have systems around enoughness in their biz? No??? Well, that changes now!For most of my biz I didn't feel like I was doing enough. And I'm a human — I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you I've cracked the code and am now the highest achiever all day, every day. No. But I have created systems around my expectations of myself so that I'm able to check out of work on the weekends and feel like I've moved the needle on what matters. In short? I've done enough.This episode is all about the metrics, the systems, and the symptoms that finally let you know you're doing enough—because we're not here just to do enough. We're here for the extra. The success, the legacy, the magic, the story. We're here for the abundance that overflows from us onto the world around us.We’re unpacking how to define your personal metrics for enoughness, build rhythms that support your energy and creativity, and feel SUCCESSFUL without burning out. You’re going to hear me riff on: How we’ve been sold the lie that more work = more worth. (4:22) The four pillars of enoughness: Metrics, Systems, Symptoms, and Strategy. (9:10) How to calculate your “enough number” in both life + biz and why knowing it changes everything. (12:30) The 80/20 exercise that shows you exactly where your results actually come from. (20:01) My “two evergreen, one sprint” system for organizing your week around what really matters. (27:33) How to stop feeling behind and start feeling damn proud + Friday rituals, Notion templates, and strategic sign-offs. (33:09)This is your permission slip to stop chasing the mythical "enough" and start creating systems that prove to your brain and body that you're already doing more than okay.When you finish this ep, go map out your 20%.
