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.

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

Self care is not selfish. Self care is wealthcare. And today I am taking you with me to prove it.
In this episode I am bringing you along to my laser treatment and getting honest about something I have never really talked about publicly — my skin confidence journey and what it has meant to finally invest in the little girl who spent years hating what she saw in the mirror. We are talking about why investing in yourself is never about vanity, always about becoming, and what it means to show up as the most confident version of yourself.
Topics we get into: self care for women, skin confidence, investing in yourself, inner child healing, self worth and beauty, becoming HER, confidence for women

I got on the dating apps for the first time in two years because my therapist told me to. So naturally we made a podcast episode about it.
In this episode Aussie Badelian joins me for one of the most honest and hilarious conversations about dating as an ambitious woman. We are getting into what it actually looks like to be single and thriving, green flags and red flags in modern dating, how to build a business while also being a full human person who wants love, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your love life is focus entirely on yourself first.
If you are single, ambitious, and figuring out how to want it all without losing yourself trying to get it, pull up a chair.
Topics we get into: dating as an ambitious woman, being single and thriving, modern dating, green flags red flags, building a business while dating, self love and dating, becoming HER.

What happens when the thing you built stops feeling like yours?
In this episode Stephanie Arapian is getting real about walking away from her production company after years of building it, what it actually feels like to outgrow something you created, and how she found herself again on the other side. We also get into the pink reclamation theory, why so many women reject their femininity when they feel like they have to be strong, and what it means to finally come back to yourself after years of performing a version of yourself that was never really you.
If you have ever felt like you needed to divorce something in your life to finally feel free, this one is going to resonate deeply.
Topics we get into: leaving your business, personal reinvention, outgrowing your career, femininity and strength, finding yourself again, becoming HER, identity after entrepreneurship

Hot girls build wealth. And wealthy girls are fun. Let's get into it.
In this episode I am breaking down house hacking — one of the most accessible real estate strategies for women who want to start building wealth without having it all figured out first. We are talking about how to lower your living expenses dramatically, how to use the property you already live in to generate income, and why doing the things others will not do today is exactly how you create the future others cannot have.
Real estate does not have to be intimidating. It just has to be started.
Topics we get into: house hacking, real estate investing for women, building wealth, financial independence women, hot girls build wealth, becoming HER, money and ambition

Miranda just went through a breakup and she showed up to this episode and told the whole truth anyway. That is the most RealHER thing I have ever seen.
In this episode Miranda Whitmer is getting real about rebuilding after heartbreak, what it actually looks like to start over when your whole plan falls apart, and why we are done looking for potential and projects and are only accepting partners from here on out. We also get into building a real estate portfolio as a single woman, finding your people in a new city, and why "the world is your oyster" is the most unhelpful thing anyone has ever said to a woman in the middle of a breakup.
If you are freshly heartbroken or rebuilding after a relationship that did not work out, pull up a chair. This one is exactly what you need.
Topics we get into: breakup recovery, healing after heartbreak, starting over after a relationship, dating after heartbreak, partners not projects, building a life as a single woman, real estate investing, becoming HER

The Bestie Hotline is OPEN and we are getting into it.
This is our anonymous listener Q&A segment where real women submit their most honest questions and we sit down and actually answer them. No filters, no judgment, just your hype women telling you what you need to hear. In this first ever Bestie Hotline episode my bestie Dallas joins me and we are talking about feeling behind in your 20s, comparison and social media, and the question that stopped me mid-recording: are your goals actually reflecting your actions?
If you have been consuming everyone else's life instead of building your own, we see you and we have something to say about it.
Topics we get into: feeling behind in your 20s, comparison and social media, goals vs actions, personal development for women, finding your path, becoming HER, bestie advice

If you have a best friend who has seen every version of you and loved you through all of it, this one is going to make you want to call her immediately.

Starting a business feels exactly like the morning after. You made a bold decision, you woke up, and now you have to figure out what comes next.
In this episode I am getting into the identity shift that nobody talks about when it comes to entrepreneurship. Not the strategy, not the tactics, but the actual person you have to become to build something from scratch. Because anyone can file an LLC. The real work is building the person who can run the business.
If you are in the messy beginning of something new and wondering what you have gotten yourself into, this one is going to make you feel so much less alone.
Topics we get into: entrepreneurship and identity, starting a business, personal reinvention, becoming HER, the messy middle of building something new, self trust
