    Bliss with Caroline de Posada

    This week’s theme: Bliss In this episode of From Fear to Fire, Caroline De Posada shares how Bliss became her guiding principle after a successful 13 year career as an attorney. Raised in a Cuban family that valued professional achievement, she followed a traditional path while quietly nurturing a passion for personal development inspired by her father, a renowned motivational speaker. After his passing, she realized that if she did not step forward, the work that lit her up might fade. Her journey toward Bliss was not instant. It involved years of uncertainty, writing her book Looking Over the Edge, navigating Covid, and eventually discovering coaching through a desire to serve rather than strategize. When she shifted from trying to define herself to simply helping others, everything changed. Caroline now teaches that Bliss is not just a feeling but a state of being cultivated through intention. Her Living With Intention framework encourages people to notice what is working, name who they want to become, and nurture that intention daily. By adopting empowering principles such as believing life is rigged in your favor and trusting that you are always in training for something bigger, she overcame her fear of getting it wrong and learned to trust herself deeply. Her message is clear. Bliss cannot be forced, but it can be found when you pay attention to the sparks already within you and choose to live in alignment with them.

    Softening into Love with Heather

    This week’s theme: Softening into Love In this Valentine’s Day episode, Heather Hansen O’Neill reframes love as an intentional, courageous practice rather than a passive feeling. She explains how our brains naturally gravitate toward fear, making compassion and connection conscious choices. Through personal stories about miscommunication, assumptions, and stress reactions, she shows how easily fear-driven narratives take over and how powerful it can be to pause, breathe, and choose a different response. Softening, she reminds us, is not weakness. It is the work of choosing love anyway. Heather shares a heartfelt love letter to humanity that honors imperfect people who keep trying, reflecting, and choosing connection over being right. She also tells a retreat story where vulnerability helped two conflicted team members truly see each other, shifting the entire dynamic. The episode closes with a simple practice: pause, notice what is driving your reaction, and choose love. While our differences are real, our shared humanity is stronger, and love is the upgrade our world needs.

    Women’s Health with Jennifer Newell

    This week’s theme: Women’s Health This episode of From Fear to Fire highlights women’s health through the inspiring journey of Jennifer Newell, founder of Betty’s Co., a modern women’s healthcare company transforming how young women experience care. Jennifer shares her personal story of being diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency as a teenager and how navigating a confusing system revealed a major gap in how girls transition into women’s healthcare. She explains why women’s health must go beyond pregnancy-focused care and instead address menstrual health, mental wellbeing, and overall body awareness from an early age. Listeners will discover how Betty’s Co. creates safe, stigma-free spaces where women feel heard, respected, and empowered. The conversation explores the connection between women’s health, mental health, and lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal cycles, while emphasizing early education and accessible care, especially on college campuses. At its core, this episode is a call to reimagine women’s health as holistic, compassionate, and proactive care for every stage of life.

Speaker, author, adventurer, and host Heather Hansen O’Neill takes you on the journey from fear to fire. Today, we talk about women’s health and how reimagining early, holistic, and stigma-free care can empower young women to understand their bodies, prioritize mental wellbeing, and build healthier relationships with healthcare. Jennifer Newell You might say Betty’s Co. found Jennifer. At the age of 17, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, sending her as an infertile person to solo-navigate a space in healthcare that revealed a massive care gap. From starting their periods up to pregnancy planning, younger women simply were not getting care. Nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, women’s healthcare looked very much the same. So, Jennifer set out to create the change needed. Betty’s Co. embodies both Jennifer’s personal journey as a patient and her extensive professional background. Throughout her decade-long tenure with healthcare consulting and technology firm, the Advisory Board, and its sister company in higher education, EAB, Jennifer excelled in building and leading high-performing teams in business development, content creation, and product marketing.
