We dig into the big questions, the quiet doubts, and the surprising moments that make us stop and say, “Wait…this actually matters.” Every week, I sit down with guests who share raw stories, unexpected insights, and laugh-out-loud truths about navigating change, letting go, and finding what truly fits. From bold breakthroughs to everyday “aha” moments, nothing’s off-limits. This isn’t self-help with a side of fluff it’s clarity with a wink, courage with a laugh, and the nudge you need to take your next brave step.

    Why Most CBD Products Don’t Work (And What Companies Won’t Tell You)

    What if the life you built looked successful on the outside… but your body was telling you something was wrong? In this episode of The Sock Drawer Podcast, Lisa Begley sits down with Scott Schwab, CEO of Mett Naturals, for a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, health, resilience, and the unexpected wake-up calls that force us to rethink everything. Scott shares what it was like building in the rapidly growing hemp and wellness industry and why he believes most people misunderstand CBD, supplements, and even the soil our health begins in. From seed-to-shelf farming practices to the hidden challenges behind the wellness industry, Scott explains why transparency matters and why the way plants are grown can dramatically affect the benefits people receive. But this conversation goes deeper than business. Scott opens up about one of the most pivotal moments of his life when a serious health warning forced him to reevaluate the path he was on. What followed was a major personal and professional pivot that ultimately led him to the work he’s doing today. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of building something meaningful while trying to protect your health, your purpose, and your relationships, this episode will resonate with you. You’ll also hear Scott’s powerful Tiny Dare at the end of the episode, a simple practice that can help quiet the noise and reconnect you with yourself.

    What Women Don’t Say Out Loud About Retirement — Eric Blake on Loss, Identity, and Security

    What does a man learn about security after watching the women in his life navigate loss? In this episode of The Sock Drawer Podcast, Lisa Begley sits down with Eric Blake, Certified Financial Planner®, founder of Blake Wealth Management, and host of The Simply Retirement Podcast. Eric shares the deeply personal story behind his mission, one shaped by five generations of women, a single mother, and a grandmother who became a widow at 62 and carried that grief forward for nearly three decades. Together, Lisa and Eric go beyond retirement accounts and into what most people don’t talk about: the emotional weight of major life transitions. They explore why retirement can feel like an identity shift, how women often find themselves carrying financial decisions alone after divorce or widowhood, and why “money” is rarely the real goal, security, freedom, and peace are. Eric also offers a powerful reminder for women of all ages: take a seat at the table. Ask the questions. Understand your options. Because the decisions you don’t make today can quietly shape your future for years to come.

    When the ‘Safe Plan’ Stops Feeling Safe: From COVID ICU Nurse to Sales Leader & Mom-in-the-Making

    What if the version of you who followed the “safe plan” ended up becoming the exact person brave enough to rewrite it? In this episode of The Sock Drawer Podcast, Lisa sits down with her friend Kat Kuchenbrod—a former COVID ICU nurse who walked away from the career everyone told her was “stable” and stepped into a completely new life as a sales leader, soon-to-be mom, and world traveler. From getting fired over a vaccine mandate while supporting her husband through chiropractic school, to cross-training in the psych ER, to discovering she was made for sales and leadership through a remote role at Pompa Program, Kat’s story is a masterclass in quiet courage. You’ll hear how Kat and her husband spent over a year traveling the U.S. and the UK through trusted house-sitting (yes, living in other people’s gorgeous homes and caring for their pets), why her definition of success now is “more relaxed,” and the Drawer Moment where she decided to let go of the belief that success has to be hard. She also shares a powerful Tiny Dare for anyone standing at the edge of change: pray about it as much as you think about it—and then move. If you’re feeling a nudge that something needs to shift, this conversation will remind you that you’re not behind—you’re just in the messy, beautiful middle. Today’s episode is brought to you by Project ICON. Helping leaders & founders share their story, build their brand, and find their voice.

    He Didn’t Leave Education — He Rebuilt His Life: Jordan Hampton on Career Pivots

    He Didn’t Leave Education — He Rebuilt His Life: Jordan Hampton on Career Pivots, Burnout, and Why Investing Isn’t Gambling Most people don’t end up where they started - and for Jordan R. Hampton, that truth came through a series of intentional pivots. Jordan began his career as a high school math teacher and coach, evolved into an athletic director managing people, pressure, and large budgets, and eventually transitioned into financial planning, not to sell products, but to help people make thoughtful, long-term decisions about their lives. In this conversation, we talk about burnout, identity shifts, leadership, financial literacy, and the difference between gambling and investing. Jordan shares what finally pushed him to make a change, how his background in education shapes the way he works with clients today, and why clarity comes from action, not having everything figured out.

    From Scarcity to Peace: John Kennedy on Pressure, Identity, and What Really Matters

    In this episode of The Sock Drawer Podcast, Lisa sits down with John Kennedy, CFP® and co-founder of CandorPath Financial, to talk about the weight so many of us quietly carry—responsibility, expectations, and the fear of not getting it “right” in the middle of life. John shares how he went from a curious college kid taking a personal finance class to starting his own firm, walking his mom through life after losing his dad, and slowly letting go of a deep scarcity mindset. Together, Lisa and John unpack imposter syndrome, decision fatigue, redefining success, and why peace looks a lot more like time and presence than cars and titles. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “behind,” or felt tired from holding everything together for too long, this conversation will give you language, perspective, and one simple tiny dare to try today. You’ll hear: How John’s personal story with loss, career risk, and starting CandorPath shaped the way he serves people now Lisa’s own honest story of starting a business during COVID, closing it three years later, and what that taught her about scarcity and enough Why success in this season has more to do with time, memories, and peace than stuff or status

    The Million-Dollar Wake-Up Call: How Generosity Rewires Your Life

    What happens when you finally “catch the car” you’ve been chasing — and realize you don’t even know what it’s for? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Jeff Thomas, CEO & Founder of Arkos Global Advisors, who shares the moment that shifted his entire relationship with money: a $1,000,000 check handed to him at 31… and the uncomfortable truth it revealed. From there, Jeff breaks down what generosity really means (hint: it’s not just writing checks), why “keeping up” quietly steals joy, and how to build the daily mindset that keeps your life aligned with purpose.
