Mari welcomes back licensed therapist Amy Prieb (Crew Relationship Coach) for the first time since 2021 to talk about why we keep having the same fights and what's actually happening in those nanoseconds before we explode or shut down. Amy breaks down the two core attachment wounds - "I'm not enough" (withdrawers who move away from conflict) and "I'm too much" (pursuers who chase partners around the house with energy) - and explains why Tom calls therapy "going to church" while Mari calls it "the pain dungeon." They discuss why insight doesn't lead to change (fucking damnit), how emotions show up in your body first (not your brain), and the relief of learning you don't need to find the "why" if you can just identify the "what." Plus, Amy shares why she stormed out on her husband saying "I'm leaving so I don't have to be depressed about what kind of marriage I have" and then spent the day helping couples save THEIR marriages, and why being in The Crew improved her life "125%."

Mari welcomes Amanda Goetz - two-time founder, four-time CMO, author of Toxic Grit, and creator of the Life's a Game newsletter - for a raw conversation about which version of you actually gets to have it all (spoiler: not the same one all the time). Amanda shares why she cried through her first therapy session before asking for divorce, how she builds "minimally viable days" when an A+ isn't possible (movement snacks count!), why she takes a "commute bath" to transition from assertive work mode to silly mom mode, and the dangerous trap of believing "if I just feel grateful enough, I shouldn't ask for more." Plus, the ketamine therapy that let her watch her life like a loving movie, why her parents aren't coming to her wedding, why she studies how mediocre white men make asks, and the permission slip we all need: intentional imbalance over work-life balance because some days you just need to be 80% mom to one kid and give the others 20%.

Mari welcomes back productivity wizard Elise Enriquez (Crew Faculty Coach) to expose the uncomfortable truth: most of us are committed to chaos and don't even know it. Elise shares her definition of productivity as "making progress on what matters most while remaining present to people, experiences, and opportunities" - which means sometimes a two-hour nap IS productivity.

They dive into the four chaos responses - constant motion (firefighting everything), avoidance (scrolling instead of starting), paralysis (staring at your to-do list unable to move), and fawning (people-pleasing your way into more overwhelm) - and why women double down on this commitment (spoiler: patriarchy conditioned us that we HAVE to do it all). Elise walks through the exercise she led at Jumpstart (Mari's annual retreat) that changed everything: mapping your actual week hour-by-hour to confront reality, then doing a brain dump to see what actually matters.

Mari shares how this system made her latest retreat feel like she had a full care team when she was actually solo, why Tom's calendar-only system doesn't work for her, and the relief of feeling just as good about what's NOT getting done as what is. Plus, why sharing your screen with Elise feels like showing your underwear drawer, and how she slows everything down to find how your system can support you better.

Mari welcomes Dr. Michelle Mazur - messaging strategist with a Ph.D. in Communication, corporate marketing experience with Microsoft and Burt's Bees, author of 3 Word Rebellion, TEDx speaker, and co-host of Duped: The Dark Side of Online Business - to expose the predatory practices destroying trust in the coaching and marketing industry.

After being duped herself (hello, $10k lesson), Mari found Michelle's podcast and finally felt seen. They dive into the biggest red flags to watch for: income claims without context, "experts" who are only 10% ahead of you, manipulative scarcity tactics, and the "one right way" promises. Michelle explains how "web celebs" weaponize parasocial relationships (you know their kids' names but they just want your credit card), why hot seat coaching with strangers you don't trust breaks everything, and the crucial difference between agitating pain points versus empathizing with real problems. Plus, Michelle breaks down her three marketing models based on business type (spoiler: if you're selling $50K contracts, you don't need Instagram), shares Seth Godin's definition of marketing as "the generous act of solving someone's problem," and explains how Expert Up Club's non-prescriptive approach differs from the guru model. The bar for trustworthiness is in hell - just do what you say you're going to do.

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."
