Mari welcomes back her college roommate and Crew health & wellbeing coach Molly Fitterer for a refreshingly honest conversation that starts with a wine hangover confession and ends with permission to watch Real Housewives all day as health homework. Molly breaks down the myths keeping women from prioritizing wellbeing - that health equals how you look, that it's a luxury requiring time and money, that you need to be in a perfect place to even start - and explains why choosing her daughter's first basketball game over speaking at Jumpstart was actually a masterclass in wellbeing coaching. They discuss why "movement snacks" (10 counter pushups while your coffee brews) count, the shame women face whether they want to lose weight OR take GLP-1s OR embrace body positivity, why health coaching isn't prescriptive but deeply inquisitive, and how Molly's biggest mission is simply giving hope that things can change. Plus, the vulnerable truth about sharing your screen in productivity sessions, why the Q&A sessions aren't recorded, and why selling a headache-inducing rental property is actually a wellbeing win. Spoiler: You don't need to get anywhere before you join The Crew - start where you are is the perfect place.

Mari welcomes back identity coach Mindi Huebner for a behind-the-scenes look at three months of transformational coaching inside The Crew. Mindi shares her journey from chronic burnout in sales (where she believed "rest was lazy") to becoming a certified clinical hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, and explains the crucial difference between mindset and identity: "Mindset is editing the caption. Identity is changing the author."

They dive into real member breakthrough stories - including the woman who realized she didn't have to follow someone else's "step 1, 2, 3" rules and instantly transformed - and why we outsource our inner knowing when we pay experts. Plus, Mindi explains why you can't outperform your subconscious identity, how the "known zone" keeps us stuck even when it's miserable, why New Year's resolutions fail (hint: it's neurological, not character flaw), and the powerful "from now on, in the future, next time" language pattern that opens doors instead of slamming them shut. If you quit your resolution on January 10th (National Quit Your Resolutions Day), this episode is your permission slip to stop shoulding on yourself.

Mari welcomes back Sara Dean - host of Shameless Leadership podcast with 970 episodes and millions of downloads - as The Crew's newest business coach faculty member. Sara shares how she seamlessly pivoted her podcast from Shameless Mom Academy after 8 years and 900 episodes (spoiler: she made it a grad school project), why she said yes to joining faculty despite being extremely sought-after, and her son's favorite phrase that became her biggest life lesson: "Mom, it's not that deep."

They discuss the through-lines in career pivots versus chasing noise, why getting enough rejection means you're asking enough, how three to five years of nos led to Sara's easiest and biggest contract ever, and why women's egos hold us back while men's overconfidence propels them forward.

Plus, Mari admits she recorded their 2021 interview from her car because her house was chaotic, and neither of them realized September 2021 was actually four years ago, not "like a year and a half."
