Yes, And! w. Bunny Young

This conversation goes somewhere the Yes, And! Podcast doesn’t usually go, and that’s exactly why it matters.In this episode, Bunny brings wellness practitioner Sheree Hannah onto the show to talk about health, not as a trend or a checklist, but as the foundation that everything else is built on. Business, motherhood, creativity, energy, focus, and longevity all sit on top of what’s happening inside your body, whether we pay attention to it or not.Sheree shares her lifelong journey with celiac disease, disordered eating, gut health, and holistic nutrition, and how those experiences shaped the work she does today. Together, they connect the dots between inflammation, fertility, hormones, sleep, mood, and the very real impact food and lifestyle choices have on how we show up in our lives and our businesses.They talk about practical ways to start without overwhelm, why perfection isn’t required, and how simple habits like sunlight, hydration, protein, movement, and sleep regulation can create massive shifts over time. Timestamps00:00 Yes, and!

This episode feels like one of those conversations when you tell yourself: “Oh… it’s not just me".In this interview from the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny talks with April Palmer, a sales expert, about sales, confidence, and imposter syndrome in a way that’s honest, grounded, and so relatable. April shares her unconventional path into sales, the self-doubt that never fully disappeared, and the practices that helped her keep showing up anyway, especially as a mother, a leader, and a woman navigating big decisions with a very loud inner critic.They get into what confidence in sales actually looks like behind the scenes. Saying no to clients. Not discounting yourself out of fear. Letting curiosity lead instead of pressure. And learning how to sell in a way that feels aligned with who you are, even when your brain is telling you you’re not enough.This conversation is funny, real, and deeply relatable. It touches ADHD, learning curves, motherhood, and the quiet moments where you decide to trust yourself just enough to take the next step. If you’ve ever felt capable and uncertain at the same time, or confident on the outside while doubting yourself on the inside, this episode will feel like sitting down with a friend who gets.Timestamps00:00 Yes, and!

Some conversations remind you that the dream you can’t shake isn’t a distraction. It’s a direction. And this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast is exactly that kind of reminder.Our host, Bunny Young, interviews Amber Lilyestrom, business mentor, podcaster, and true powerhouse, to talk about why trusting yourself, your desires, and your dreams is non-negotiable, even when the path forward doesn’t make sense yet.Amber shares her journey honestly and without polish, from collegiate athletics and corporate leadership to building a multi-seven-figure business rooted in alignment, intuition, and energetic integrity. Together, they dive deep into what it really looks like to walk away from “safe” choices, navigate subconscious fear, rewrite money stories, and recognize when success stops working because it’s costing you your life force.This conversation weaves together business energetics, money mindset, identity, trauma healing, motherhood, and the quiet courage it takes to say yes without guarantees. It’s about slowing down to access more, releasing the need for certainty, and letting your dream lead even when the how isn’t clear yet.If you’ve been feeling the pull to do things differently, to trust your timing, or to finally listen to the dream that keeps coming back, this episode will meet you right where you are.Timestamps00:00 Yes, and! 00:30 Meeting Amber and soul contracts05:30 Leaving safety to bet on yourself10:30 Subconscious fear and expansion15:30 Slowing down to grow more20:30 Money, energetics, and alignment25:30 Why dreams keep returning30:30 Trusting yourself without certainty35:30 Live events, frequency, and community40:30 Relationships over transactions45:30 Adoption, timing, and divine threads50:30 Your dream as a roadmapConnect with your host, Bunny Young:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bunnysumneryoung/Website: https://www.abetterplaceconsulting.com/Instagram: @thebunnyyoungConnect with Amber Lilyestrom: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberlilyestrom/Website: https://amberlilyestrom.com/Instagram: @amberlilyestrom

This episode is for anyone who has built momentum before and quietly wondered, is this actually scalable, or am I just holding it together?In this conversation on the Yes, And! Podcast, Bunny and Teresa talk about what it really takes to grow marketing and sales over the long term, especially when you’re not willing to sacrifice your family, your freedom, or your nervous system to do it.Teresa shares what she’s learned from building a global sales operation across Latin America, scaling one of the most successful Sandler offices in the world, and creating years of consistent lead flow through YouTube and content that compounds. Not hacks. Not virality. Systems, patience, and deep audience understanding.They talk about why most people quit too early, why execution matters more than confidence, and how fear of visibility and fear of success often look the same on the surface. The conversation also moves into identity, motherhood, and the moment when a business that looks successful on paper no longer fits the life you want to live.Timestamps00:00 Yes, and!

What if peak performance didn’t require burnout, overworking, or constant pushing?In this episode of Yes, And!, Bunny searches for the answer to this question with TEDx speaker and Peak Performance Method founder, Julia Arndt.Throughout their conversation, they explore what sustainable success actually looks like for high achievers, and if you’re here, chances are you’re one too.Julia’s journey is one for the books. After nearly a decade at Google and a personal burnout experience, Julia went through a season of deep work to release deeply rooted beliefs around hard work, productivity, and self-worth. The result? She unlocked faster business growth, deeper fulfillment, and a life she doesn’t want to escape from —but genuinely looks forward to— without sacrificing ambition.This conversation is gold. It dives into burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, stress and performance, feminine and masculine energy in business, and how letting go can create momentum across career, relationships, and life.Connect with Julia Arndt:Instagram: peakperformancewithjuliaWebsite: www.peakperformancemethod.comTEDx Talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnH-ViIjdJ0Connect with Bunny Young:Instagram: @thebunnyyoungWebsite: bunnyyoung.comTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Opening: Redefining success with Julia Arndt 01:30 Peak performance without burnout 03:58 “I need to work hard to succeed” 06:09 Enoughness, gratitude, and enjoying the journey 13:53 Burnout was the pattern 15:52 What burnout actually felt like before having language for it 18:00 Normalizing exhaustion in high-performance environments 20:16 High achiever identity and addiction to busyness 24:06 Why self-care didn’t work 28:56 Becoming magnetic in business31:30 Nervous system capacity 39:08 From corporate disappointment to a TEDx invitation 45:53 Soft high-achieving vs. gripping achievement 49:10 Finding the peak performance zone 55:25 A surprise pregnancy reveal 01:00:11 Julia’s definition of a Yes, And! life
