    Episode 81 | The Persistence Formula: How One Woman Rebuilt Her Business Three Times and Still Won with Zeynep Ekemen What do you do when your competitors fold, your partners leave, and the world decides it no longer needs your product? In this energizing episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Zeynep Ekemen, founder of Z Realty Group and Silver Defender, inventor, investor, and advocate for women in business. Zeynep invented an antimicrobial film technology in 2018, launched it at the height of the pandemic, watched her competitors collapse when COVID ended, bought out her own partners, and rebuilt the company from scratch, twice, until it landed in the NFL, MLB, and World Trade Center buildings. This conversation is about what persistence actually looks like from the inside: the gratitude journal she has kept for decades, the three-part formula that gets her through any obstacle, and why she still bets everything on herself, every time. 🎧 Tune in and learn: The three-part daily formula she uses to access her intuition and keep moving: exercise, gratitude, and prayer How writing your dreams in the past tense, as if they already happened, quietly rewires your brain toward them Why the people who don't believe in you are often the people closest to you and what to do about it The pivot that saved Silver Defender: shifting from pandemic product to permanent healthcare infrastructure What it really means to bet on yourself when you've already lost it all before If you've ever wondered whether persistence is enough, this episode will remind you it is. 💡 Featured Resources: Silver Defender: silverdefender.com Zeynep on IG: @z_silverdefender 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    79. Stop Waiting to Feel Ready: The Truth About Confidence & Dating After 40 | Kimmy Seltzer

    Episode 79 | Stop Waiting to Feel Ready: The Truth About Confidence & Dating After 40 with Kimmy Seltzer What if confidence wasn't something you found... but something you created from the outside in? In this episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Kimmy Seltzer, confidence therapist, authentic dating strategist, image expert, and creator of the Charisma Quotient. Kimmy spent years as a traditional therapist working from the inside out. Then her own divorce threw her into the field, single, starting over, and learning to date for the first time since college. What she discovered changed everything. She flipped the script entirely and now helps people rebuild their confidence, identity, and love life through her signature three-pillar method: style intelligence, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence. Her work has been featured on TEDx, Cosmopolitan, and Oprah Magazine. This conversation moves from the neuroscience of first impressions and the nonverbal signals we don't even know we're sending, to the scarcity beliefs that keep good people invisible to each other, the art of dating as a skill, and what it really means to put yourself back out there in your second act. It is one of the most grounded and practical episodes we have had on Wisdom Stripes. 🎧 Tune in and learn: Why dating in your second act requires a completely different approach and what nobody tells you about it The "leaking" phenomenon: how unhealed wounds show up in your body language before you say a single word The 3-second rule, the LinkedIn exchange, and why leading with your wounds keeps love at a distance Why confidence is not a feeling you wait for, it is a skill you build through action, one small step at a time You are not behind. You are not broken. You are just waiting for someone to show you how to begin again. 💡 Featured Resources: 🌟 Kimmy Seltzer kimmyseltzer.com | Podcast: The Charisma Quotient 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    78. Why Women Are Always Tired: The Cellular Truth About Burnout | Jessica Kane

    Episode 78 | Why Women Are Always Tired: The Cellular Truth About Burnout with Jessica Kane What if you're not tired, inflamed, and burned out because of your schedule, but because of what's happening inside your cells? In this fascinating episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohy sits down with Jessica Kane, co-owner and Chief Marketing Officer at Body Bio, a third-generation wellness company redefining health from the inside out. Jessica's grandfather was a biohacker decades before the word existed, a man who developed chronic fatigue in the 1980s and spent the rest of his life building a science-backed framework for cellular health. Jessica inherited both his mission and his research and now she's bringing it to the world. This conversation moves from the science of cell membranes and mitochondrial function to grief, epigenetics, losing a father at 18, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and what it actually means to take your health into your own hands. It's one of the most layered episodes we've had on Wisdom Stripes. 🎧 Tune in and learn: What the cell membrane actually does and why damaged ones are behind so much modern illness The difference between structural fats and seed oils and why it matters for your brain How epigenetics passes maternal health, trauma, and mitochondrial burden down through generations Sleep hygiene beyond the basics: circadian light, mouth tape, EMF, and why dimming your lights matters more than you think What Jessica's grandfather built and the proprietary process only 10 to 15 people in the world know how to do You have more agency over your health than you've been told. This episode is the beginning of that conversation. 💡 Featured Resources: 🧬 Body Bio bodybio.com Follow Jessica on Instagram and LinkedIn 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    77. Grounded Hope: How to Lead Your Family Through Uncertainty & Fear | Parul Somani

    What do you do when there is no right answer, only the decision you can live with? At 31 years old, days after an emergency C-section with her newborn in the NICU, Parul Samani felt a lump. Her husband wheeled her in a wheelchair to a neighboring hospital for a biopsy. They were told it was probably nothing. On her daughter's exact one-week birthday, while holding her newborn in her arms, she got the call: aggressive triple negative breast cancer. In this episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohy sits down with Parul Samani, MIT and Harvard Business School trained strategist, cancer survivor, mother of two, and author of The Path of Least Regret. What began in a NICU became a five-phase decision-making framework now used by Fortune 100 leaders and medical communities worldwide. Together they explore how to make the hardest decisions without a guaranteed right answer, what it means to lead your family through uncertainty with honesty and courage, and how grounded hope... not blind optimism... is what actually gets you through. Parul also shares the story of advocating for her mother's genetic testing, the ovarian cancer they caught just in time, and what her husband said on the first day of chemotherapy that she will never forget. This conversation covers: the Path of Least Regret framework, lifespan vs. healthspan, BRCA genetic testing, raising children with a family cancer history, processing grief without getting stuck in it, intergenerational resilience, and why chemotherapy ages the body but matures the mind.
