    The Right Question Changes Everything with Natalie Alcantara, Conversation Architect, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor

    "It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question." — Eugene Ionesco Have you ever thought about how powerful one question can be? What is behind Designing Meaningful Connections? That question is the architecture behind every session I design, every room I facilitate, every leader I coach, and every partnership I build. It is not a method. It is a belief that the most powerful thing any leader, team, or organization can do is learn to hold the conversations that matter most. This is the work. And it is available to you. Natalie Alcantara is a Conversation Architect, Executive Coach, and Strategic Advisor who works with leaders and professionals who are ready to stop performing a life that no longer fits and start building one that is entirely their own.

    “Retiring TO Something and Not Just FROM Something” with Chris Maduri, CEO of Vibrant Retirement

    Today, we are going to have a thoughtful conversation around retirement. How to understand it, gain a new perspective, and ultimately do it well. Retirement is one of life’s biggest transitions.  My guest today, Chris Maduri, shares that people need the mindset and preparation to retire to something and not just from something. Chris Maduri has spent nearly two decades working in retirement and investment planning, helping people prepare for one of life’s biggest transitions: Retirement - the moment work stops defining the structure of their days. Today, Chris works at the intersection of financial clarity and personal clarity, helping people navigate retirement and life’s transitions with steadiness, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.   In today’s episode, Chris shares: “What tends to surprise people the most emotionally when they start slowing down or stepping away from work?”  “How can someone begin discovering purpose before they retire instead of scrambling after?”  “What questions should people be asking themselves 3–5 years before retirement?”  “What becomes possible when someone approaches retirement with intention instead of fear?” “What are some non-financial habits or rhythms people should start building now?”  “How important is structure in retirement, and what happens when it’s missing?”   CONNECT WITH CHRIS MADURI: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-maduri-69a1032/ X: https://x.com/CoverYrAssets Website: https://vibrantretirement.com/   CONNECT WITH DEBI Website – https://www.debironca.com Instagram - @debironca Email – info@debironca.com Free Group Coaching - https://debi.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/group-coaching YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DebiRoncaOfficial Amy Throw | Stylist & Image CoachI style women in clothes they love & build opportunities they believe in https://www.cabionline.com/?pws=styledwithsoul   Check out my online course!

    The Heart of Grief with Thomas Attig, Distinguished and Award-Winning Author, Philosopher

    “When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” – Unknown Grief is a topic that we need more and more insight and understanding, and my guest, Thomas Attig, will bring depth to this conversation. He comes to us today highly credentialed and has been honored with several distinguished awards for his contributions to the study of grief, bereavement, and applied philosophy. The wake of our loved one’s last breath washes over our world. We can easily lose our bearings in swirling winds of change and in a fog of suffering, separation, and aloneness. The color and vitality go out of things, places, events, activities, and experiences.  Those closest to us can seem distant. It can feel as if chaos has broken out, even as we resent the larger world going on as if nothing has happened. Thomas Attig is the author of The Heart of Grief: Death and the Search for Lasting Love and How We Grieve: Relearning the World.  His new collection, SEEKING WISDOM IN DEATH’S SHADOWS: Collected Writings on How We Grieve, distills a lifetime of listening, reflection, and teaching into understanding and guidance for mourners, caregivers, and counselors.
