    Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly | Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized Care

    Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized Care with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly Guest: Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, PharmD, Founder of My Concierge Pharmacy Host: Julie Riga What if your pharmacist knew your name, your goals, and your complete health story rather than just your prescription number? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly, a visionary pharmacist and founder of My Concierge Pharmacy. Together they explore how she left corporate pharmacy to build something new, a practice grounded in personalized service, trust, and a whole-patient approach to wellness. If you have ever felt like just a number in the system, this episode will inspire you to lead with more intention in your own work and life. Redefining Healthcare Through Relationships, Purpose, and Personalized Care About the Guest Dr. Stevi Jenkins-Kelly is a licensed pharmacist with over 25 years of experience, including time at major chains such as CVS and Publix. She founded My Concierge Pharmacy in West Palm Beach, Florida after finding that most systems are built for volume, not genuine patient care. Her practice is completely independent, self-trademarked, and rooted in one guiding principle: pharmacy as a relationship, not a transaction. She holds advanced certifications in diabetes care and collaborative practice and specializes in medication management, chronic disease support, and preventative health. She serves patients across Florida and Pennsylvania, with direct delivery and personalized consultations at every stage of life. Fun Fact: Dr. Stevi loves salmon in every form. Lox and bagels with capers and onions is her absolute go-to. The Three Ingredients for Concierge Success 1. Service as a Foundation True service is never transactional. Dr. Stevi built her team culture around being service-minded at every level. When you are moving a patient out of a system that has failed them, you must become the new definition of what great care looks like. 2. Trust Through Follow-Through Trust is built by doing what you say you will do, every single time. My Concierge Pharmacy proactively manages patient profiles, coordinates with providers, and connects with each patient a minimum of six times per year. Patients soon find they do not need to chase anyone because someone is consistently and genuinely watching over their care. 3. Customization That Feels Personal Concierge care is never cookie-cutter. Whether the patient is a parent preparing for summer, an elderly person managing chronic illness, or a performance athlete focused on longevity, every care plan is built specifically around that individual. Intentional personalization is what sets real concierge care apart from everything else. Key Insights from This Episode Pharmacists are trained in anatomy, biochemistry, and treatment protocol, making them the chemistry and treatment counterpart to a physician's diagnostic approach. Most patients never access this full depth of knowledge because corporate environments do not allow for it. Concierge pharmacy is changing that reality. Dr. Stevi also applies a micro-therapy model, focusing on one health challenge at a time rather than overwhelming patients with everything at once. This approach builds clarity, confidence, and a genuine sense of control over personal health, growth, and life balance.

    Roseann Capanna-Hodge: The Missing Ingredient for Regulation, Resilience, and Success

    Roseann Capanna-Hodge: The Missing Ingredient for Regulation, Resilience, and Success In This Episode: Dr. Roseann's journey from clinician to second generation entrepreneur and mission-driven media founder Why nervous system regulation is the true foundation for confidence, clarity, and personal growth The Love Pause, a minimum three second pause that builds self-leadership and grace before reacting An a la carte menu of free, accessible regulation tools including diaphragmatic breathing, the heart hug, the butterfly tap, and humming Why most people breathe incorrectly and how that habit quietly activates the stress response Why consistency, not intensity, is the missing ingredient for real transformation The connection between chronic dysregulation and anxiety, OCD, and physical symptoms like joint pain and headaches Her upcoming TED Talk in Denmark on generational emotional wealth The influence of her mother, Philomena, on her authentic leadership, resilience, and legacy Why highly functional leaders and executives often resist slowing down, and what it costs them Key Takeaways: Regulation is not a one time event, it is a practiced skill built through daily repetition A short pause before responding creates space for calm, clear decision making and self-leadership Small, consistent habits build more lasting change than occasional big gestures like retreats Muscle memory for calm is built in moments of ease, not only in moments of crisis True resilience starts with understanding and training the nervous system first Memorable Quotes: "The more you dysregulate, the more you're gonna dysregulate. The more you regulate, the more you will regulate." "When your body and your nervous system is regulated, everything else works right." "Once you're totally dysregulated, you have very minimal access to your thinking brain." "Stress is every day. You have to constantly pull the stress out so you create capacity."

    Happiness Is a Skill: Neuroscience, Resilience, and the Triumph Steps Framework with Beatriz Martínez-Peñalver

    Happiness Is a Skill: Neuroscience, Resilience, and the Triumph Steps Framework Guest: Beatriz Martinez-Peñalver, Licensed Psychotherapist and Creator of Triumph Steps Host: Julie Riga Overview What if happiness was not just a feeling but a skill you could learn, practice, and master? In this episode of the Stay On Course Podcast, Julie Riga sits down with Beatriz Martinez-Peñalver, a licensed psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience and the creator of Triumph Steps, a neuroscience-based framework transforming the way clinicians, coaches, and institutions approach emotional literacy. Beatriz breaks down the science behind why thoughts shape reality, how fear disguises itself in daily life, and why resilience is a muscle that anyone can build. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, chasing purpose, or simply ready to fall in love with your life again, this episode delivers practical tools and real inspiration to help you stay on course. Happiness Is a Skill: Neuroscience, Resilience, and the Triumph Steps Framework About the Guest Beatriz Martinez-Peñalver is a licensed psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience, a community mental health center founder, and the creator of Triumph Steps. Her work bridges clinical therapy and purpose-driven coaching, making emotional fitness and resilience accessible to everyone who needs it. Over the past decade she has focused on prevention and coaching, believing every single person deserves to know how to be happier. Originally from Colombia, she serves clients globally with a team of certified coaches and clinicians. Key Topics Covered The Neuroscience of Happiness There is a direct connection between what we think and how we feel. Positive thoughts produce dopamine and serotonin. Anxious thoughts trigger a completely different neurochemical response. The core equation: Thought leads to Feeling, Feeling leads to Action, Action leads to Results across four life domains: Relationships, Health and Well-Being, Vocation, and Time and Financial Freedom. The Eight Steps to Emotional Fitness Happiness is a learnable skill and an emotional muscle. The Triumph Steps framework guides clients through eight steps beginning with identifying a clear vision, building a bridge from where they are today to where they want to be three years from now, and taking one small controllable step at a time. Befriending Fear Fear disguises itself as procrastination, avoidance, and victim thinking. Clients learn to name it, understand it, and act despite it. Something better always waits on the other side of fear. Purpose and Service as Ingredients for Happiness People who turn their gifts outward toward the good of others discover a deeper and lasting happiness. Purpose is not simply found. It is built through intentional service and the courage to ask how your talents can make a difference. Diaphragmatic Breathing Inhale deeply to a count of four, pause, then exhale slowly to a count of six. Repeat three to five times. This practice immediately resets the nervous system and reconnects you to your inner clarity and wisdom. Memorable Quotes "Not everybody needs mental health services, but every single person needs to know how to be happier." "Your past does not define your future. Your future is designed with the thoughts of today." "We act despite the fear. That is what gets us to triumph." "How would you love your life to look three years from now?"

    Resilient Leadership Starts Within: The Three Practices That Change Everything with Trisha Vinatieri

    Resilient Leadership Starts Within: The Three Practices That Change Everything Guest: Dr. Trisha Vinatieri, Clinical Psychologist and Healthcare Leadership Consultant Host: Julie Riga   Visit the Episode Stack:stacklist.app/julieriga | All the links, resources, and key information from this episode in one easy place.   Overview   What does it truly take to lead with resilience when the world around you is shifting and you are running on empty? In this episode, Julie Riga sits down with Dr. Trisha Vinatieri, a clinical psychologist and organizational development expert, to unpack the three foundational practices of resilient leadership: self-reflection, values alignment, and purpose connection. Whether you are a healthcare executive, a corporate leader, or an entrepreneur navigating the tension between surviving and thriving, this conversation will challenge you to look inward and lead better because of it. If you have ever felt like a fraud in your own career, burned out in a role that did not fit who you are, or wondered whether your purpose is worth fighting for, this episode is for you.   Resilient Leadership Starts Within: The Three Practices That Change Everything   About Dr. Trisha Vinatieri   Dr. Trisha Vinatieri is a clinical psychologist and organizational development expert with nearly two decades of experience at the intersection of mental health and leadership. She served as Chief Wellbeing Officer at a large healthcare system before launching Clinician Care Consulting, where she helps healthcare leaders understand and combat staff burnout using evidence-based frameworks. Her mission is to help medical leaders build insight so clinical staff can do the work they signed up for. Fun Fact: Dr. Trisha loves Ethiopian food and could live on injera for the rest of her life. The Three Ingredients for Resilient Leadership   Self-Reflection: See Yourself Clearly Self-awareness is the foundation of authentic leadership. Leaders who do not examine their blind spots and emotional wellbeing create the conditions for burnout and toxic culture. Research shows that 70% of people leave jobs because of their manager. When leaders commit to honest self-reflection, they move from operating out of dysfunction to leading from strength and empowering the people around them. Values Alignment: Act with Integrity and Purpose   When your daily work conflicts with your core values, your resilience erodes. Dr. Trisha shares examples from healthcare where doctors are forced into decisions that contradict their oath. She and Julie explore the fraud feeling that arises when you live in misalignment with what you believe in and how that disconnection drains your energy and wellbeing over time.   Purpose Connection: Stay Energized Through the Hard Seasons   Purpose is what Julie calls Vitamin P and it is the anchor of resilient leadership. Without meaning, people fill the void with distractions and disconnection. Dr. Trisha and Julie share honest stories of nearly quitting their entrepreneurial journeys and what kept them going. Purpose is not a feeling. It is commitment, discipline, and the long game. Memorable Quotes "When leaders are willing to self-reflect and ask what are my blind spots, that is when everything starts to change." "If you do not have a sense of meaning in your life, it is a desolate life." "You are the author of your day." "The light inside of you needs to come out. It is the thing you do not quit." "Be the purpose you are looking for. The world needs more purpose."

    Vaishali Joshi: The Inner Skills Behind Self-Awareness, Healthy Detachment, and Mental Agility

    Vaishali Joshi: The Inner Skills Behind Self-Awareness, Healthy Detachment, and Mental Agility Guest Background Vaishali Joshi spent years as a corporate transformation leader before shifting her focus to human skills and mental agility coaching She is the founder of Beyond Bold, a mission that includes a women's wellness retreat focused on midlife The first Beyond Bold retreat began in Tampa, Florida, and has grown to three retreats in under a year, with the next planned for Toronto in September Key Topics Discussed Soft skills describe externally focused abilities like communication, while human skills describe the inward journey people take to project themselves differently Self-Awareness: the ability to see yourself from multiple angles as a superpower, built through somatic practices like breath work and meditation, and the concept of the watcher, an inner observer Healthy Detachment: learning to release the baggage carried from situation to situation, focusing on what can be controlled in the present moment, and choosing acceptance over a victim mindset Mental Agility: pivoting away from what cannot be controlled, leaning into personal strengths, embracing weaker areas, and practicing productive discomfort to break the cycle of complacency Memorable Quotes "I think that one's ability to see themselves and see themselves from multiple angles is crucial to be able to change their own perception of things." "That watcher, if awakened inside of you, will always be this friend next to you saying, all right, you're in conflict right now, what's happening to you inside." "That ability to detach keeps us present, keeps our mind free of the noise, so that we can actually be more productive." "Discomfort reverses that cycle." Key Insights Building a new mental practice takes sustained repetition, often around forty days, before the shift becomes noticeable Negative expectations about a person or situation can arrive in the room before the interaction even happens Vaishali recalls a keynote where her slides failed in front of sixteen C-suite leaders, forcing her to speak for forty minutes with no visuals Vaishali is preparing for her third Beyond Bold retreat in under a year, this time in Toronto in September Connect with Vaishali Joshi Website: www.vaishali-joshi.com Social Media: LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook @shinewithvaishali Connect with Julie Riga Website: julieriga.com/lead Social Media: LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga Key Takeaways Self-awareness is the foundation, since you cannot change what you cannot see in yourself Healthy detachment does not mean denial, it means choosing what to carry forward Discomfort builds capacity, since complacency grows in comfort and productive discomfort reverses it Watch the stories you tell, since the narrative you carry into a room shapes the outcome before it begins Subscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts and share this episode with someone who needs a reminder to slow down and self reflect. #stayoncourse #humanskills #selfawareness #mentalagility #beyondbold Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
