Elaine Timms built a Pinterest strategy business that grew to 100K sessions/month, sold a blog for five figures, and has spent almost eight years helping entrepreneurs get their content working long after they hit publish. She's also someone who spent years in fight-or-flight without knowing it — outsmarting everything, including herself.

In this conversation, Elaine and I talk about what actually shifted when she stopped following everyone else's rules — in her business, her body, and her creative life. We get into the energy over strategy philosophy she's built her work around (and where that phrase actually came from — credit to Chelsea Schreiner), why Pinterest might be the most nervous-system-friendly platform you're not using, and the fiction writing project that's been coming to her through her dreams.

This one's for the business owner who's doing everything right and still wondering why something feels off.

What we cover:

• What "energy over strategy" looks like in a real business decision
• Why slow growth isn't failure — it's a nervous system choice
• The pattern work that shifted Elaine's visibility wound
• Journaling: what to do with it after you write it
• How Elaine is merging her data brain with her creative one
• The fiction writing project she's finally giving herself permission to pursue

You've been telling yourself you're fine. Your shoulders tell a different story.

Five months ago I noticed something. I assessed it - clinically, carefully - and decided it could wait. What followed was a mammogram, a biopsy, a titanium clip, and eventually a day surgery where I showed up in a brown hospital robe to the worst TOGA party in history!
This isn't a medical story. It's a nervous system one.

What does the body hold when the mind has decided it's probably nothing?
Also: a brief but necessary correction about HPV that someone out there needs to hear.

If you've tried and quit every workout routine you've ever started, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem.

I share the honest story of every movement format that didn't work for my body - including a spin class that ended disgustingly - and what I finally figured out about why. We get into what cortisol actually does, the difference between discomfort that grows you and discomfort that drains you, and why the thing that finally stuck looks nothing like what the fitness industry told me it should.

Softness isn't weakness. It's strategy.

There are incredible posts about the eldest daughter all over social media. They talk aobut burnout, resentment, the productivity that never stops. They're not wrong. But they're not the full story either. The wound isn't just being asked to do too much - it's that existing without function started to feel like disappearing. This episode goes deeper than the content you've already seen.
And if you want to go all the way in, the Put Her Down audio series is linked here.

Britt Holmes built a business, got knocked sideways by life, and came back - not the same way, but more herself. We talk about business, family, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to rebuild after the kind of hard that doesn't have a clean narrative.

Britt is an ads and media specialist, founder of Merit Media and Founders Advisory, and one of the most honest people I know. This one goes places.

Within 60 seconds on a dating app, I knew.

Not with my brain - with my whole body. This episode is about what it felt like to have a full-body yes and a full-body no, and how that same somatic awareness showed up in my business long before I had a name for it. If you've ever second-guessed what you already knew, this is that episode.

I don't feel mom guilt. Not saying that to be provocative - I'm saying it because the way we talk about mom guilt is keeping women stuck in smallness. This episode is about what mom guilt actually is, where it comes from in the nervous system, and why all the reframing in the world doesn't touch it. And what starts to happen when it finally begins to loosen.

I paid $15,000 for a program my intuition told me to walk away from. And when it came time to say it wasn't working - I didn't ask for a single dollar back. That wasn't a financial decision. That was a pattern making decisions on my behalf. The over-explaining. The going cold. The avoiding until it becomes a crisis. The shrinking when you need to stay present. That's not a leadership problem. It's so much older than that.
