    Send us a text

    What if the moments that break us could also be the ones that make us?

    In this episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps is joined by Naseem Rochette—author, speaker, tech executive, and survivor of a life-changing trauma. Naseem shares her extraordinary story of resilience after surviving a hit-and-run accident three times in one day—a moment she now calls her Unbreakable Day.

    Naseem opens up about how this experience reshaped her life, teaching her the strength found in vulnerability, the healing power of community, and the beauty of embracing our scars—much like the Japanese art of Kintsugi. She also shares how writing her memoir, The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over, became a tool for processing her trauma and offering hope to others walking their own hard roads.

    This conversation is a reminder that breaking doesn’t mean you’re broken—and that resilience often starts with letting others in.

    What We Talk About in This Episode:

    • The day Naseem’s life changed forever—and how it became her Unbreakable Day.
    • Why true resilience requires vulnerability, connection, and community.
    • The lessons she learned about reframing her story and embracing new realities.
    • How Kintsugi serves as a metaphor for self-compassion and growth.
    • Writing The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over and why she felt called to share her journey.
    • The daily practices that keep her grounded and present (even with 3 kids, 4 cats, and 2 dogs!).

    Where to Find Naseem:

    • LinkedIn: Naseem Rochette
    • Her Book: The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over

    Key Takeaways:

    • Breaking doesn’t mean you’re broken—it can be a doorway to strength.
    • Healing is rarely a solo journey; allowing others to help is a sign of courage.
    • Reframing your narrative can transform pain into empowerment.
    • Kindness toward yourself is non-negotiable in recovery.
    • Finding joy in small, everyday moments can change the way we heal.

    Memorable Quotes:

    “Choose your hard."

    “We rise by lifting others.”

    "I try to be present more—and that changes everything.”

  • Building with Purpose: Lauren Picasso on Entrepreneurship, Resilience, and the Rise of CURE Hydration
    2025/06/26

    Send us a text

    Episode Summary

    In this inspiring episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps sits down with Lauren Picasso, CEO & Founder of CURE Hydration, Harvard MBA, and triathlete, to talk about her journey from burnout to breakthrough. While training for a triathlon, Lauren struggled with dizziness, nausea, and post-workout crashes—despite staying hydrated. Frustrated by the lack of clean, effective electrolyte options, she started mixing her own formulas at home. That DIY solution turned into Cure, launched in 2019—and today, the brand has grown 100x.

    Lauren was recently named to Inc. 5000’s 2024 Female Founders 250 List, and Cure earned a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, ranking 568th overall and 23rd in Food & Beverage.

    In this conversation, Lauren shares what it takes to build a mission-driven wellness brand, navigate early business hurdles, and stay grounded through it all. She also opens up about how mindfulness and patience have shaped her leadership—and why just doing it isn’t always enough without the mindset to sustain it.

    Whether you’re a founder, wellness enthusiast, or woman navigating a big life transition, this episode is filled with wisdom, inspiration, and practical takeaways.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • The power of starting small and building consistently

    • How a personal health challenge sparked a wellness movement

    • Why mindfulness and patience are Lauren’s go-to mindset tools

    • What goes into scaling a company 100x in five years

    • Why authenticity matters when bringing a product to market

    • And what’s ahead for the wellness space in 2025

Through it all, she’s become a voice for resilience, self-love, and the kind of inner strength that doesn’t just survive—but rises.

    Whether you’re walking your own path of healing, supporting someone else, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of resilience, this conversation offers both comfort and courage.

  • Becoming Liz: On Truth, Tenderness & Trusting the Unknown
    2025/03/27

    Send us a text

    Some conversations feel like coming home—and this one is exactly that.

    In this deeply honest and expansive episode of The Right Room, Hilary Phelps sits down with Liz Baker Plosser—author of Own Your Morning and former Editor-in-Chief of Women’s Health—for a conversation about change, self-trust, and what it really means to become who you are.

    Hilary and Liz first met in a professional setting, but within minutes it was clear: this wasn’t just a meeting—it was the beginning of a true connection. Their bond grew from shared values and mutual respect into a treasured friendship built on truth, humor, and a love for asking better questions.

    Now, in this episode, they explore everything from career transitions and letting go of titles, to mental health, sobriety, infertility, strength training, and the quiet inner work that so many high-achieving women are doing behind the scenes.

    Liz opens up about walking away from a major career in wellness media—not because she had to, but because she felt called to step into something more aligned and more personal. She shares the discomfort and growth that came with “turning the cab light on,” as she puts it, and beginning the vulnerable work of becoming Liz—not the job title, not the brand—just her.

    Together, Hilary and Liz explore the nuanced differences between self-esteem and self-confidence, and how so many women chase the latter while quietly neglecting the former. Liz reflects on her decision to stop drinking—not as a moment of rock-bottom, but as a conscious choice to prioritize clarity, energy, and leadership. She also speaks honestly about her experience with infertility, and the emotional toll it took on her identity and sense of worth.

    Through it all, one thing is clear: this is a woman who is learning to show up for herself—not perfectly, but powerfully.

    🛠️ Key Takeaways:

    Self-esteem and self-confidence are not the same. True growth comes from building internal trust, not external validation.

    Reinvention is brave. Walking away from a dream job doesn’t mean failure—it means you’re ready for a new chapter.

    Sobriety isn’t always about hitting rock bottom. Sometimes it’s simply choosing to feel better, sleep better, and lead better.

    Infertility is more common than we think—and more silently painful. Compassion is key.

    Boundaries protect peace. Especially in seasons of transition.

    Arrogance is not celebrating wins—it’s refusing to listen.

    Strength training isn’t just physical. It’s a practice in presence, self-trust, and reclaiming agency over your body.

    Using your voice changes everything. Especially when it’s hard.

    We never know what someone is carrying. Compassion matters.
