My Autoimmune Health Journey Update
Sep 3000:21:52Tap to summarizeWhat happens when your body forces you to slow down before your mind is ready? In this raw and unfiltered episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna Kay shares the behind-the-scenes of navigating an autoimmune diagnosis while running a six-figure business. Instead of accepting the limitations handed to her, Bree pulled back the curtain on her health journey, revealing what really worked, what didn’t, and why trusting your intuition might be the most powerful form of medicine. From questioning traditional healthcare to experimenting with functional medicine, holistic practices, and lifestyle shifts, Bree’s story is proof that you don’t have to choose between thriving in business and thriving in your body. You’ll hear how she's in the process of rebuilding her health by advocating for herself, digging deeper when doctors dismissed her, and making hard changes like eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar (plus more!), while still growing her business on her own terms. If you’ve ever felt ignored by the medical system, stuck in the cycle of burnout, or scared that your health is holding you back from chasing your big goals, this episode will show you another way forward. Key Takeaways: Functional medicine digs deeper into root causes that traditional tests can miss. Diet + lifestyle changes matter: Eliminating gluten, dairy, soy and processed sugar was a game-changer in managing autoimmune symptoms. Advocate for yourself: Your intuition and your own research can help you to ask for tests when doctors dismiss you. Holistic practices help regulate the body: from red light therapy to sauna sessions. AI vs. functional testing: Why personalized support often beats cookie-cutter results. Notable Quotes: "My body wasn't functioning the way that it was supposed to, I knew that." "Please advocate for yourself and do your own research." "The cool thing about the minerals test is that there are different ratios that show how well your organ systems are functioning."

Why Winning Might Be the Real Way You’re Losing w/ Marina O’Connor
Sep 2300:32:17Tap to summarizeEver wonder why you can hit milestone after milestone… and still feel empty? Or why burnout keeps creeping in no matter how much you achieve? In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, I sit down with Marina O’Connor to unpack the psychology of entrepreneurship — and how the business you’re building is a direct reflection of your inner world. Marina shares her raw story of burning out in the entrepreneurial fast lane, walking away from external validation, and stepping into a career that finally felt aligned. Together, we dig into the hidden forces that drive ambition — self-worth, childhood experiences, and the sneaky patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck chasing achievement while ignoring what they truly want. Marina is a psychotherapist and former venture-capital-backed entrepreneur who knows firsthand the high highs and low lows of building a business. Today, she’s the founder of Unspoken, a mental health academy supporting entrepreneurs and leaders. With over a decade spent bridging psychology and entrepreneurship, Marina helps high achievers break the cycle of burnout and self-sabotage by uncovering the inner world that shapes their outer success. If you’ve ever tied your identity to your business, struggled with self-sabotage, or wondered why success doesn’t feel the way you thought it would… this episode will be a game-changer. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why understanding your “why” is the key to lasting fulfillment in business. How chasing external validation leads to burnout — and what to do instead. The role of past experiences and trauma in shaping entrepreneurial ambition. Why self-awareness is the biggest investment you can make in your business. How to align your business with your values so success actually feels good. Notable Quotes: "The business you are building is literally a reflection of your own inner world and your own psychology." "The issue is when those achievements become the only measurement of one's worth." "Entrepreneurship is the best mirror into oneself, understanding who you are and what drives you." "For me, success has just been changing throughout my career, through different life chapters." "Understanding your own psychology and how you can screw it up for yourself is the biggest investment you can make."

From Chaos to Clarity: Decluttering Your Home + Mind for Next-Level Business Growth w/ Kate Evans
Sep 200:55:09Tap to summarizeBe honest… when your house is a mess, does your brain feel like it’s on overload too? 🙋♀️ Same, girl. And here’s the kicker—your clutter isn’t just about messy counters or that chair full of laundry. It’s a mirror of what’s happening inside of you, and yep, it can be the very thing holding back your next level of business success. Clutter = distraction. It drains your energy, clouds your focus, and literally blocks you from showing up as the badass CEO you’re meant to be. In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, I (Breeanna Kay) sit down with psychologist, coach, and soon-to-be-published author Kate Evans to talk about the deep connection between your mental state, your home, and your success as an entrepreneur. Kate’s upcoming book, Ditch Your Sh*t: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home, dives into why traditional decluttering methods don’t stick and how the real work starts with your mindset and emotions. She brings a unique blend of psychology, coaching, and yogic wisdom to help you clear the mental and emotional blocks keeping you stuck in clutter (both physically and energetically). Inside this episode, you’ll learn why unresolved wounds can show up as piles of clutter, how to shift your mindset for lasting change, and how creating simple systems in your home can free up energy to scale your business. I even share how decluttering my own space created more focus and flow in my business. If you’re ready to create more space for what you actually want in life, this conversation will change the way you look at your home, your habits and your business. *** CLICK HERE TO LOCK IN A FREE 1:1 SOUL STRATEGY MINI READING WITH BREE (based on astrology, numerology + human design only available for 2 weeks) *** Key Takeaways: Clutter is often tied to unresolved emotional issues—and it can sabotage your business and well-being. Decluttering starts with your mindset, not just your closet. Systems and habits like routine resets + habit stacking keep your space clear without overwhelm. Minimalism isn’t the only answer—it’s about surrounding yourself with things that align with the life you want to create. Making room for what’s next often requires letting go of old stuff, old beliefs and even old relationships. Notable Quotes: "If your mindset is messy, then your home will be too." — Kate Evans "Clutter is really the result of something emotional. And no one really wants to deal with that." — Kate Evans "When you clear out space, both physically and energetically, new things can come in." — Breeanna Kay "Finding who you are, what your purpose in life is, is not going to be found by hiding behind just diving into one thing."— Kate Evans "It's amazing the shift that you can make when you actually declutter at a deep level." — Kate Evans Resources Mentioned: Website: SoulfulSpaceCoaching.com Instagram: @KateSEvans.Coaching *** CLICK HERE TO LOCK IN A FREE 1:1 SOUL STRATEGY MINI READING WITH BREE (based on astrology, numerology + human design only available for 2 weeks) *** WORK WITH BREEANNA KAY: breeannakay.com/rebelceo Follow Breeanna on Instagram or TikTok → @rebel.ceo.podcast REBEL CEO PODCAST SHOWNOTES: breeannakay.com/decluttering-mindset-for-entrepreneurs

Dec 17, 2024Tap to summarizeChallenging the hustle culture myth that working harder equals greater success and inviting you to prioritize with intention. In this episode of Rebel CEO, Breeanna Kay dives into the chaos of entrepreneurial burnout and offers a path to clarity as we approach a new year. Drawing from her own experiences, she shares actionable strategies to declutter commitments, release energy-draining tasks and clients, and make space for aligned opportunities. Through a simple yet powerful exercise—categorizing tasks into what’s working, what’s draining, and what no longer serves you—she empowers entrepreneurs to clear their mental clutter and refocus on their goals. By taking these steps, business owners can rediscover the excitement and creativity that sparked their entrepreneurial journey, all while creating sustainable success. Key Takeaways: Overcommitting leads to burnout and dilutes your focus on long-term goals. "Doing less" can actually drive better results by creating space for what truly matters. Create three lists: what’s working, what’s draining, and what no longer serves you, to identify areas for change. Letting go of tasks or clients that don’t align with your purpose is an act of self-care. Intentional actions, rather than mindless productivity, are the key to personal and business growth. BREEANNA KAY'S INSTAGRAM: @breeannakayphotography REBEL CEO INSTAGRAM: @rebel.ceo.podcast Notable Quotes: "You can’t pour from an empty cup." "Doing less can help you achieve more." "It’s not just about feeling tired. It’s about losing sight of your goals, your creativity, and the excitement you had when you first started." "Letting go is a form of self-care." "Whatever you do, do it with more intention." About the Host: As the voice behind the Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna shares her journey from burnt-out entrepreneur to advocate for work-life balance. Her mission is to guide fellow entrepreneurs out of hustle culture and into roles that nurture creativity, sustainable growth, and personal freedom.
