This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Amy Pierre-Russo. Amy spent a decade in HR before becoming a life and business coach, and she built something she calls Hustle to Harmony. Instead of the scale — which just makes you feel like you're failing the second one side gets heavier — she thinks of it as a pie. You only get 100%. Some seasons work takes 60, some seasons your kid needs 60. That's not imbalance. That's just life.We went deep into her own story too. Amy lost her mom when she was six, and was raised by her dad, who made the choice not to bring anyone else into the house full-time. I asked her what that absence taught her, and what it's like now raising her own son knowing what that gap felt like as a kid. We talked about the guilt of leaving for work trips, the small rituals that make it easier, and this idea of surrender — that you don't have to make peace with hard choices, you just have to give yourself grace around them.This one stayed with me. If you've ever felt like you're failing at the "balance" thing, I think you'll feel a little lighter after this.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/———💫 Connect with Amy:Visit her Website: https://www.coachingwamy.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachingwamy/Instagram: @coachingw_amy———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week on Journey to June, I'm joined by Megan Hayward, a former Division One basketball player, mom of five, and founder of TAG (Temporary Assistance Guru), a staffing platform she built from the ground up at 24 years old. But that's not really where this episode starts.We started with what it means to let your kid sit in hard. Megan and her husband — a former Jacksonville Jaguar and Denver Bronco — have raised athletes who've had to face that moment: am I going to quit, or am I going to see what I'm made of? One son is at West Point. Another is getting Division One offers. The path wasn't straight for any of them, and that's exactly the point.Then Megan went somewhere I rarely go on this podcast. She shared the story of surviving an abusive relationship in college — one that produced her son Israel and ultimately the force that broke her free. What she said about raising him, about not pretending his father never existed, about the safe spaces we have to create for our kids — I'll be thinking about that for a long time.We also talked about what ethical leadership actually looks like in business, ownership as a core value, and the shopping cart test she gave her entire team. Her company TAG sits at the intersection of the gig economy and traditional staffing — solving a problem nobody else was solving with integrity.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-muscle-for-hard———💫 Connect with Megan:Visit her Website: tempguru.coLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersonmegan/Instagram: @megan.c.hayward———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Nine years ago, I said yes to a weekend I couldn't fully explain — three days with Bo Eason, before Live Your June existed, before I had language for what I was even looking for. This year, I said yes to the same experience again, but this time I brought Josi along. In this episode, Josi turns the mic around and asks me why it mattered, and then I turn it back on her: what has her own version of that room given her at 13 that took me decades to find.We talk through what it means to live as a player instead of a fan in your own life and why confidence isn't something you believe, it's something you physically stand in. We also get into Roger Love, the voice coach who's worked with everyone from Selena Gomez to Tom Brady, and a moment with LPGA golfer Lorena Ochoa that first showed me what "professional" actually looks like in practice.What surfaces by the end isn't really about that one weekend. It's me and my daughter comparing notes nine years apart, and me admitting out loud that she's more clear at 13 than I was at 45. The episode closes the way it opened: asking what room you've been circling, and whether you're willing to walk in without knowing where it leads.———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Five years ago I launched Live Your June at 50 with no roadmap, no business plan, and no idea what I was doing. What I didn't know then is that the business was never the point. Who I was becoming was.In this episode I'm sharing the five lessons that have shaped the last five years — not the highlight reel version, but the real one. The rhythms that built me. The rooms that stretched me. The people who carried me when I couldn't carry myself. The seasons I almost quit and didn't. And the moment I realized the vehicle always changes — but the becoming never ends.If you've ever been told you weren't ready, that it was unrealistic, that you were crazy for trying — this one's for you.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with someone who needs to hear it.

What happens when you grow up performing for everyone but yourself?Aly Breathe grew up in Russia chasing a promise she made to her dad at six years old — to stand on an Olympic podium. That promise drove everything: the dancing, the swimming, the gymnastics, the tennis, the exhaustion. On the outside, she was doing it all. On the inside, she didn't even know she was allowed to have her own opinion.In this conversation, we go into the real cost of that kind of pressure — on the body, on identity, on the way we eat, the way we speak, the way we move through the world. Aly shares her own path from performing-for-approval to what she now calls embodied coaching — the difference between understanding something intellectually and actually letting it go at a cellular level.Aly's work is the kind that gets rid of chronic pain, restores sleep, and yes — helps people get pregnant. The results sound wild until you understand why they happen.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/when-the-voice-driving-you-isnt-yours———💫 Connect with Aly: Visit her website: https://linktr.ee/alybreatheInstagram: @aly.breatheLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aly-breathe-258ba7338/Back pain is gone.

In this final episode of the Olympic Series, I reflect on what it meant to start chasing a dream when I was 10 years old — long before I understood the pressure, sacrifice, identity, and uncertainty that would come with it.After sitting down with Olympians, elite athletes, and high performers throughout this series, one thing became clear to me: performance can shape you, but it can’t fully define you.This conversation is about identity under pressure, borrowed belief, resilience, the environments that shape us, and what happens when the thing you built your life around changes or disappears.🎧 Listen to the full Olympic Series on Journey to JuneIf this resonates, I’d love to hear from you—DM me “CLARITY” and let’s talk about what’s really going on underneath.———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Jarrod Shoemaker spent years competing at the highest level of sport — Olympian, World Championship competitor, World Series winner — but this conversation went far beyond results.What stood out to me most was how honest he was about pressure, identity, and the mental side of performing when expectations rise.We talked about the moment he realized he was holding himself back by thinking too much… and how one conversation after a race changed everything. We talked about trusting preparation, the anxiety that comes with elite performance, learning how to adapt, and the difference between approaching success vs. avoiding failure.But what I loved most was hearing how he still chases growth today — not through medals, but through adventure racing, connection, challenge, and being fully present without the noise of the world constantly pulling at him.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-moment-you-stop-sitting-in-the ———💫 Connect with JarrodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrod-shoemaker/ ———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

In this episode, I sit down with Olympian and author Cassidy Krug, who competed in the 2012 Olympic Games in diving and is the author of Resurface. Cassidy shares her journey from growing up in a family of diving coaches to performing on the world’s biggest stage—and what it took internally to get there.We go beyond performance and into the real work behind it. Cassidy opens up about the pressure, the fear, and the moment she realized she had to change how she related to it in order to compete freely. From shaking on the diving board in her first international meet to standing at the Olympics without fear, her story reveals what it actually means to train your response under pressure. But what makes this conversation different is what came after. When Cassidy retired, she found herself trying to recreate the same “one thing at the center” structure in her career—only to realize it didn’t bring the same fulfillment. That shift led her to explore identity in a deeper way, expanding beyond a single role into writing, motherhood, and a more multi-dimensional life.This episode is about more than the Olympics. It’s about what happens when you’ve built your life around one thing—and how you begin to redefine yourself when that chapter ends.———💫 Read the Full Reflection: https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/you-can-still-go-all-inwithout-losing ———💫 Connect with CassidyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cassidy-krug-2610014Visit her website: http://cassidykrug.com/  Check out her book: Resurface: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761752/resurface-by-cassidy-krug/———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Next week on the Olympic Interview Series I'm talking to Cassidy Krug—a 2012 Olympian in springboard diving. After that conversation, I kept coming back to one thing—she’s still performing at a high level, but there’s a lightness in how she shows up. And it made me realize something I’ve been seeing in my own life and in the people I work with:We don’t struggle because we care too much. We struggle because we’ve tied our identity to the outcome.In this episode, I unpack that shift. From what it actually means to “train for pressure” to how this shows up not just in performance, but in leadership and parenting, and what I’m learning in real time with Josi about letting go of control and stepping into leadership instead.As you listen, I want you to ask yourself: Where am I trying to control the outcome… instead of preparing for it?If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you—DM me “CLARITY” and let’s talk about what’s really going on underneath.———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com
