Give A Shift Alicia Ziegler and Nancy Gribble

This week on Give A Shift, get ready to be inspired by our special guest, Kristin Hanggi, the Tony-nominated Director of the hit musical Rock of Ages. Kristin shares her incredible journey of breaking into the male-dominated world of directing, guided by her intuition and inner voice. She reveals how doors began to open for her as she courageously pursued her dreams, and what it took to keep going even when those doors seemed to close.
Join us as Kristin discusses how she transformed obstacles into opportunities, creating something from nothing and never giving up on her aspirations. Her energy, light, and spirit shine brightly in all she does, and today we get to experience that first-hand. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
Tune in to Give A Shift and be inspired to follow your own path with courage and determination.

Get ready to be inspired on today’s episode of Give A Shift Podcast where authenticity meets inspiration, with our special guest, Glenn Lovelace.
Glenn, a Certified Life and Health Coach, isn't here to sugarcoat anything. He's all about keeping it real. Today, he opens up about his own journey, sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Whether you're a man or a woman, this is a podcast you don't want to miss. Glenn gets it. He's been where you are, yearning for more but feeling stuck in a cycle of setbacks. He knows the feeling of taking two steps forward and three steps back all too well.
But Glenn’s story isn't just about struggle; it's about transformation. He's faced his own "rock bottom" moments, from health crises to financial struggles and relationship challenges. At his lowest point, he contemplated giving up entirely. It was a dark night of the soul, filled with regret and pain.
But then something changed. Glenn realized that not making choices was, in fact, a choice in itself. With determination and divine guidance, he began to turn things around. He shed the weight of his past and the burden of busyness, embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth.
What he once saw as obstacles in his marriage became opportunities for personal evolution. Today, Glenn is not only a certified coach but a beacon of hope for men seeking transformation. He's here to help you unlock your potential, elevate your life, and rediscover joy in the present moment.
Together, you'll create your "good ole days" right now. And yes, he'll even help you reconnect with your partner, ensuring you're both playing by the same set of rules. Tune in and let Glenn inspire you to take charge of your life and pursue your dreams with unwavering determination.
More about Glenn Lovelace 
Glenn is a performance coach for men. He’s had over 3,000 one on one clients since 2008.
He’s been married since 2004 and has 6 kids from 2 to 15 years old. His marriage has challenged him more than anything else but it has also forged him into the man he’s become.
Glenn’s story bounces from failures, quits to more failures much like most men. He found himself in a dark corner 10 Christmas Eves ago, ready to “be done”. He survived himself.
He turned back to the one thing he could control - himself. The gym became an essential part of his daily recipe and in 2017 he won $100,000 transforming. 
Glenn lives by the daily simple processes that create lasting value and happiness. He preaches “progress creates happiness” and “your goal is my goal”.
He currently coaches men for his business and has helped men overcome the mind to create ultimate control over emotions helping men feel it all and still move towards their goal. His unique process looks a lot like the movie “Hitch” except we’re chasing change and goals. His process has been branded as “The Wingman Method”.
You can find him in the following places BUT he’s most available 1 on 1, whether a client or not he’s all in on helping others reach their goals…

Join us on this episode of Give A Shift, where we sit down with the inspiring Jane Schuring, a trailblazing retired airline captain and author of "Plane Jane: Earning My Wings".
Discover Jane's extraordinary journey through the skies and the barriers she shattered along the way. Despite facing relentless skepticism about her age and her place in a male-dominated field, Jane's unyielding spirit and positive outlook turned potential obstacles into remarkable achievements. Tune in to hear how her "never say never" attitude and resolute determination prove that with the right mindset, the sky's truly the limit. Don’t miss this uplifting story of resilience and empowerment that will inspire you to chase your dreams, no matter the altitude!
More about Jane:
After experiencing some difficult life challenges, Jane's decision to pursue a career change from a twenty-year flight attendant to take flying lessons during what could be called a mid-life crisis (divorce, temporary job loss) was met with barriers at every stage. In spite of hearing, "You're too old," or "No one is hiring," Jane was determined to achieve her dream, eventually ending her almost 44-year career with Continental/United as a Boeing 737 Captain.   Her story will inspire those who have experienced the highs and lows of life's trials, particularly a career in the aviation industry. With stories to tell along the way, it began with a spontaneous trip to Los Angeles for an interview as a 'hostess' in 1969, and ended with a smooth landing in Houston with fire trucks on each side of the aircraft spraying the traditional water cannon salute to a retiring captain.
You can find Jane's book on Amazon, Plane Jane: Earning My Wings
