The RealHER Podcast
If you found this show, I genuinely don't think it was by accident.
The RealHER is the podcast for ambitious women who know they want more out of life and are figuring out what the hell that means. Every Tuesday your hype woman and wisest bestie Kristina Fusco gets into the real stuff. The heartbreak and the healing. The identity shifts and the plot twists. The big dreams and the messy beautiful middle of becoming the woman you actually want to be.
This is not a highlight reel. This is not a five steps to fix your life situation. This is the conversation you needed to have with your most honest, most loving, most hyped up best friend. The one who has been through it, became HER, and came back to walk you through yours.
Real relationships, real success, and a real life you actually love are not just possible for other women. They are waiting for you on the other side of this.
New episodes drop every Tuesday.
Ready to stop doing this alone and get into the actual room with women who are becoming right alongside you? Come find us at therealher.co/society.

Your 30s are like Papa John's. Better ingredients, better pizza. And I will die on this hill.
My sister Ari is back and we are making the full case for why your 30s are genuinely the best decade of your life. We are getting into the glow up that actually sticks, why doing it for yourself hits completely differently than doing it for anyone else, and all the things we wish we had known in our 20s that we are absolutely not keeping to ourselves. Plus flat ginger ale, a very important Papa John's theory, and we end the episode to go get ice cream because we are cycle sisters and that is just who we are.
Topics we get into: your 30s, better with age, real glow up, self improvement for yourself, female friendship, becoming HER, leaving your 20s behind

I built a business for three years, sold it, and walked away with something worth so much more than the check.
In this episode I am getting completely honest about selling Kaeda House, my mid-term rental business, what the process really looked like, why I took less money than I originally wanted in order to get my freedom back, and what three years of entrepreneurship actually built. Spoiler: it built me. Business number one built the person. Business number two is building the lifestyle.
If you have ever wondered whether the thing you are building is worth it even when it is hard, this one is your answer.
Topics we get into: selling a business, entrepreneurship lessons, personal growth through business, freedom over money, becoming HER, identity after selling a business

Nobody is ever ready. And the women who are building the lives they want started anyway.
In this episode Nikki McGrew is getting real about leaving corporate, starting her business before she felt ready, and navigating the most personal and vulnerable chapters of her life all at the same time. We are talking about perfectionism as self sabotage, what it means to figure it out as you go, and why nothing is personal and nothing is that serious even when it feels like absolutely everything is both.
If you are waiting to feel ready before you start, this one is going to give you the push you needed.
Topics we get into: starting before you're ready, leaving corporate, perfectionism and self sabotage, entrepreneurship and vulnerability, becoming HER, personal development for women

I sat down with a psychic medium and something shifted in me that I genuinely was not expecting.
In this episode Diana, known as Psychic Dee, is getting into how she discovered her gift, what it actually means to read energy and connect with people who have passed, and how trusting your intuition can completely change the way you navigate your life and your business. And then she did a live reading on me. On mic. And I genuinely was not prepared for what came through.
If you have ever had a gut feeling you ignored and later wished you had not, or if you have ever wondered whether there is something bigger guiding you, this one is going to crack something open.
Topics we get into: psychic mediumship, trusting your intuition, spiritual gifts, connecting with loved ones who have passed, energy reading, intuition in business and life, becoming HER, spiritual growth for women

I am turning 30 in two days and I have never felt more like myself in my entire life.
In this birthday episode I am getting into everything nobody told me about turning 30, what Saturn return actually is and why it is the most powerful thing happening to you right now if you are in your late 20s or early 30s, and why the timeline you thought you were supposed to hit was never really yours to begin with. The shoulds of life are officially cancelled. The life you actually want is right on the other side of letting them go.
If you have ever felt behind, this one is going to change how you see everything.
Topics we get into: turning 30, Saturn return, releasing the timeline, feeling behind in life, becoming HER, identity in your 30s, the shoulds of life.

I spent an entire month doom scrolling, comparing myself to everyone around me, and letting it make me feel like I had nothing important to say. And then I recorded this episode.
In this solo episode I am getting honest about the consumption trap and how easy it is to fall into watching everyone else build their dream life instead of building your own. We are talking about how to audit your social media, train your algorithm to work for you, and get back in the creative seat where you actually belong. Because you were meant to create. So go create.
Topics we get into: consumption vs creation mindset, doom scrolling, comparison and social media, getting back to yourself, personal development, becoming HER, mindset for women.

In Part 1 Shelby gave us the origin story. In Part 2 she gave us the resurrection.
In this episode we are picking up right where we left off with Shelby Sinclair and getting into the moment that changed everything, losing her husband six months into her pregnancy, rebuilding from the most devastating loss imaginable, and coming out the other side as a woman who trusts herself completely. We close with a mirror exercise that is going to stay with you long after this episode ends.
Go look in the mirror and ask yourself if you are being the woman you want to become today. And if you are not, give yourself a high five and make the choice to change it.
Topics we get into: grief and rebuilding, loss and resilience, becoming HER, self trust, identity transformation, the mirror exercise

Shelby St.Clair grew up in a religious cult, got divorced young, and built a thriving coaching business from absolutely nothing. And she is one of the most magnetic humans I have ever sat across from.
In this episode Shelby is getting into her origin story and I genuinely could not stop saying I just got the chills. We are talking about what it means to build a life on your own terms when the life you were handed was not yours to begin with, how she found her way into coaching, and what it looks like to finally step into the woman you have always known you were meant to be.
This is Part 1 of a two part conversation. Come back for Part 2 right after this one.
Topics we get into: survival mode to thriving, personal reinvention, leaving behind what does not serve you, building a business from scratch, becoming HER, identity and transformation
