    Your Moment, Your Move: Shift How You Show Up to Own What Matters

    There is a moment between stimulus and response, and inside that moment is your choice point. In this week's episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Michael Loftin, Founder of Choice Point Protocol and creator of the ALPS system, to explore how recognizing your “choice point” can shift how you show up in the moments that matter most. Rather than trying to change your whole life at once, this conversation offers a more practical and powerful insight: transformation begins in a single moment. The space between what happens to you and how you respond holds more agency than most people realize. If you’ve ever wished you had handled a moment differently,  this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a practical way forward. Guest Bio Michael Loftin is the Founder of Choice Point Protocol and creator of the ALPS system. He teaches people how to change their lives by mastering the moments of their day that matter. Through practical tools and grounded insight, Michael helps individuals recognize their patterns, access their power of choice, and show up as their authentic best selves in high-stakes moments.

  2. Entering Your Next Chapter (Without Losing Yourself to Pressure and Expectations)

    FEB 9

    Entering Your Next Chapter (Without Losing Yourself to Pressure and Expectations)

    In life, we enter countless new chapters — and almost every new beginning comes with expectations that aren’t fully your own. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I sit down with Growth Coach Christa B. Downey to explore how to stay connected to yourself as you move into what comes next - without letting pressure take the reins. Whether you’re stepping into college, taking a new job, pivoting careers, or becoming a founder/CEO… pressure can come from every direction: family, friends, colleagues, mentors, finances, and the fear of being judged. In this episode, you’ll hear:      -Why pressure is real — and why pretending it isn’t doesn’t help      -How expectations can quietly pull you out of alignment (even when people       “mean well”)       -The role of clarity, boundaries, and freedom in choosing your next chapter      -A powerful reframe for navigating loved ones’ pressure: “I love you, and I’m       afraid.” The small action question that can shift everything: What happens if you don’t pursue it? Guest Bio Christa B. Downey is a growth coach and owner of Christa B. Downey Coaching & Consulting. She partners with purpose-driven, high-achieving people entering new, often unfamiliar spaces — and helps them thrive once they arrive.  Want to get in touch with Christa?

    If your business feels harder than it should, your message may be too broad. In today’s expert economy, niching down helps experts grow faster, position themselves clearly, and attract the right opportunities.

    Can You Be Happy AND Successful? Redefining Success Without Burnout

    As we start a new year, many people may find themselves asking a quiet, honest question: “Can I be successful without sacrificing my happiness?” This comes up often in my work — especially with capable, driven people who have done what they were taught would lead to success… yet feel a growing disconnect between achievement and fulfillment. In this episode of Conversations Worth Your While, I'm joined by Christian La Cosse of Primordial Coaching to explore why happiness and success are not opposing forces — and why redefining success from the inside out is often the missing piece. Together, we discuss: 👉🏼 Why people pursue success without ever defining it for themselves 👉🏼How inherited definitions of success quietly shape stress and dissatisfaction 👉🏼The difference between pushing through life and moving from alignment 👉🏼Small awareness shifts that help people reconnect with clarity, energy, and meaning This conversation is especially relevant as we begin a new year — a natural moment to reassess what you’re building, why you’re building it, AND whether it truly reflects who you are now. Guest Bio  Christian La Cosse is a coach and facilitator supporting leaders and individuals committed to internal alignment and identity-level evolution. His work centers on helping people shift from fear-based motivation to grounded, love-based presence, enabling deeper meaning, agency, and sustainable impact.

    Unlabel Yourself: Letting Go of the Identities That Quiet Your True Self

In this conversation, you'll discover: -Why so many capable people feel disconnected from themselves -How labels shape the way we see ourselves and others -What it means to listen to your inner wisdom again -How unlabeling yourself opens the door to clarity, compassion, and self-trust -A gentler way to move forward in a noisy world Guest BIO: Céleste The Empress Of TradeMarks from GRAND IPR®️ is the rare expert who transforms an intimidating legal domain into empowered clarity for creatives, founders, and innovators using depth, intuition, strategy, and heart.   With her lived experience with both dyslexia & dyscalculia, she says, "If I can get myself a master's degree in law without realizing it until after my final exam, then I can achieve anything!  Want to Connect with Céleste?
