Own Your Piece: Conversations on Self-Leadership, Identity & Living On Purpose
Welcome. I’m Andie Thueson, guide, mentor, and catalyst for women who are done playing small and ready to lead their lives.
Own Your Piece is a podcast for women who feel the quiet nudge that something more is available and are finally ready to claim it.
This is where self-leadership, identity activation, and living on purpose come together.
Through Human Design, astrology, and grounded, real-world wisdom, we explore what it actually looks like to stop outsourcing your power, trust your inner authority, and make decisions that align with who you truly are.
If you’ve felt stuck in your head, disconnected from your rhythm, or like you’ve been watching your life instead of living it, you’re in the right place.
This podcast isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering who you are and choosing to lead from that place.
Each episode offers honest conversation, deep insight, and practical guidance you can apply in real life, so clarity replaces confusion, alignment replaces force, and your life starts to move forward with intention.
This is where clarity meets courage.
This is where you Own Your Piece.
xo, Andie

Breaking Free from Burnout: Supporting the Helpers with Ashley Stallings
In this powerful episode of Own Your Piece, I sit down with my longtime friend and nonprofit leader Ashley Stallings to talk about something every helper needs to hear: burnout.
Ashley spent the last decade building a child advocacy center, supporting families through some of the hardest moments imaginable. But along the way, she faced the very real challenges of compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and burnout. Her story of healing, boundary-setting, and launching her new platform, Audibly Ashley, is a must-listen for anyone in the helping professions.
If you’ve ever felt drained by the work you love, or you’re wondering how to prevent burnout in nonprofit or caregiving roles, this conversation will inspire and empower you to protect your energy and keep your passion alive.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The hidden culture of overwork in helping professions (and why it’s time to flip the script).
- Ashley’s journey from 24/7 burnout to renewed purpose.
- Practical strategies for preventing burnout and compassion fatigue.
- The power of saying “no” so your “yes” has more value.
- How grounding, energy healing, and simple daily practices can restore your soul.
- Tips for anyone dreaming of starting a nonprofit.
