    Self-Care Habits That Truly Stick with Jason Gootman

    Send a text Never have I ever so furiously scibbled notes during a podcast interview. My latest guest, Jason Gootman must have shared a dozen quotable quotes and analogies that I NEEDED to write down and remember.  Jason Gootman is a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach as well as a certified nutritionist and certified exercise physiologist. Jason helps people go from knowing what to do and having good intentions to consistently taking great care of themselves in ways that help them add years to their lives and life to their years. It was clear from the beginning of the episode, Jason was going to bring in equal amounts of myth-busting, solid simple advice, and resources for those struggling with their health and wellness habits. The very first gem I had to write down... Being well, according to Jason, is "proactively meeting most of your needs, most of the time."  He went on to share that the journey to better habits is more about learning to meet our own needs. Not by subscribing to the old adage: "I should already be able to do this on my own." (How often have you used that line on yourself?) Instead, Jason encourages exploring growth through the lens of the acceptance paradox. Better acceptance and love of oneself leads to being better able to help oneself. Bottomline - by embracing our own humanity we can view our less resourceful habits as opportunities to take 5-10% better care of ourselves. Not through beating ourselves up. Please enjoy this episode and allow it to fill your cup. Jason has so many resources - many of which are free -  for you to begin your journey to better habits and wellbeing. Jason left me with a final gorgeous quote, improving our wellness is about "coming into better harmony with yourself." A Gift Just For You, dear listener.

    Bridging the Coaching Gap with Santana Inniss

    Send a text Why is high-level coaching often reserved for those who already have a seat at the table? In this episode, Kelly sits down with Santana Inniss, the powerhouse founder behind The GLOW Initiative, to discuss the systemic barriers preventing women—particularly women of color—from accessing the mentorship and coaching they need to thrive. From placing provocative billboards against ineffective politicians to matching hundreds of women with life-changing coaching, Santana shares her journey of turning "brave honesty" into a global movement. We dive into the "hyper-individualism" of the coaching industry, the importance of sustainable income for female coaches, and why silence is often a greater risk than speaking up. This year Glowi will celebrate its third annual International Women's Day Inititive by providing free coaching to women. Glowi will be crossing the milestone of 500 women coached for free. I encourage you to donate what you can and consider becoming a coach. Check out the Glow Initiative: https://glowi.org/ Connect with Santana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santanainniss/ About Santana: Santana Inniss has broken barriers at every turn. As a multi- ethnic, neurodivergent, first-generation American who began life in significant poverty, she has experienced many of the challenges women in the United States face firsthand. Her seven years in the non-profit sector—including serving as Vice President of Digital Programs for an international NGO— equipped her with program development expertise and the ability to bring together Fortune 500 stakeholders for meaningful collaboration.  Santana holds degrees from Columbia and Northwestern Universities. In 2023, Santana left traditional success behind to become a Master Certified Alignment Coach and create meaningful impact for women.  As a systems thinker, Santana noticed the challenges facing her new industry early on. The Glow Initiative was soon born to address barriers in access for the women who need coaching most.

    Integrating Intuition & Rational Thinking with Adam Dickinson

    Send a text On this episode of the podcast, I finally had the opportunity to speak with my friend, Adam Dickison. We sat down and had a beautifully grounded and yet futuristic conversation. Adam shared his journey and the experience of a major pivot from FBI to becoming an entrepreneur. I've been highly interested in his story and I believe it's going to peak your interest too! Our conversation shifted to topics as broad as our favorite childhood superheros and accessing the Akashic Records. Adam Dickinson is a Logic-to-Intuition Integration Advisor serving as a Future Self Strategist who helps people understand and interpret their inner intelligence as their awareness expands. He’s currently focused on supporting U.S. federal workers who want to transition their careers into something that’s new and more aligned.

Today he teaches a grounded approach to integrating intuition with rational thinking so people can move through inner evolution with clarity and confidence. To explore more of Adam’s work on Logic-to-Intuition Integration and expanded awareness, connect with him on LinkedIn.
