What’s up, Skirts Up squad?! Welcome back to Season 5, Episode 2!

(With Video on YouTube!)

Grab your iced coffee (or your black coffee brewed straight from the Keurig next to your bed—shoutout to today's guest!) because today, your host Samantha is feeling a little starstruck.

Joining us on the mic is the ultimate Queen of Reinvention herself: Renee Carbone Fleming! Renee is a powerhouse entrepreneur of 13 years, host of the Unapologetically Badass podcast, and founder of the Badass Queen Personal Branding and Media Agency. She’s dropping by fresh off a major "pinch-me" milestone—winning Top Empowerment Coach of the Year and seeing her face plastered on a massive billboard in the middle of NASDAQ Times Square!

But because this is Skirts Up, we don't just talk about the shiny Instagram moments. We lift the skirt on the actual shit it takes to get there. Renee opens up about growing up with very little, surviving her biological father's suicide, living on a pull-out couch, and navigating a devastating bankruptcy and divorce that forced her to find her own identity.

In this high-vibe, zero-fluff episode, we break down:

• The Future Life Script: The exact morning manifestation routine Renee uses to wire her brain for abundance (and why your brain actually loves the sound of your own voice).
• Do You Have a PhD?: Why you don't need a college degree to build an empire—you just need a "PhD" in Passion, Heart, and Desire.
• The "WATCH ME" Manifesto: Renee breaks down the game-changing acronym she stuck on post-it notes all over her house when the doubters told her she couldn't make it alone:
• Withdraw from explanation
• Act before approval
• Take up space publicly
• Commit without consensus
• Hold the vision when no one else does
• The CASE Method: How to break out of analysis paralysis and "freeze mode" when building your business using Clarity, Action, Strategy, and Evaluation.
• Building the $100k "Fuck-It Fund": Why every single woman needs financial independence and a soul-aligned passion that is 100% hers.

If you've been sitting in your car or at your desk feeling stuck, frozen, or like you're "three feet from gold," this episode is the lightning bolt you've been waiting for.
