    Obituaries Did More Than Social Media

    Your doctor asks for family medical history, and you realize you have none. That simple moment is what finally pushes our guest, high school English teacher Lisa Hess, to start searching for the biological family she never knew and she does it at 50, not 18. What begins as a practical health question turns into an adoption reunion story filled with quiet twists, including a childhood memory of a woman sitting in a car outside her home, watching, then disappearing before anyone could reach her. We walk through the real-world steps of an adult adoptee search: requesting an original birth certificate, combing through Ancestry records, using obituaries to confirm names, and sending the message you never quite know how to write. Lisa learns her biological mother, Carol Ann, died years earlier, and she sits with the grief of answers that will never come directly. Then the biggest shock lands: her biological father, Alan, has been living about four miles away. One simple letter leads to a fast reply, a first lunch, and the start of a relationship neither of them expected. From meeting half siblings to navigating holidays with two families who slowly become one, Lisa shares what feels “different” without being dramatic, and why her best advice is to trust your gut and move when you are ready.

    What If Your Home Is Not Neutral

    What if your home wasn't just decorated — but actually in relationship with you, quietly empowering or disempowering you every day whether you notice it or not? I'm sitting down with Paula Agudelo, a designer who calls herself a house therapist — and once you hear her story, the title makes perfect sense. Paula walks me through her four-step "home" method, built on healing, opening up to new possibility, beauty, and ongoing energy, and explains why her intake process goes far beyond budget and style into what a space has held for you, and what you actually want it to hold next. We also talk about where this all started: a childhood marked by loss and early responsibility, a home birth that became one of the most romantic and empowering moments of her life, and the daily structure she's relied on for decades to stay grounded through every reinvention. Paula doesn't do small talk, and she doesn't take on clients who only want help picking curtains — she works with people ready to actually transform. That distinction alone is worth the listen. If you've ever sensed that your space was holding more than furniture, this conversation will change how you walk through your own front door.

    You Can Stop Carrying Someone Else’s Happiness

    What if the thing that keeps tripping you up isn't a personality flaw — it's a belief you formed at ten years old and never went back to question? I'm sitting down with Susie Wagner, an EQ coach who spent 20+ years in marketing — including three appearances on Good Morning America — before realizing the coaching she'd been doing for free her whole life was actually her calling. We get into the moment she decided, as a kid, that her parents' happiness was her responsibility, and the self-coaching exercise she still uses today to catch herself mid-trigger (yes, it involves an imaginary interview with Oprah). Susie also breaks down a formula that reframes how most of us chase results: "Do x Being = Have." Spoiler — the mindset piece matters more than the hustle piece. Then the conversation opens into her own love story: two decades of dating in Columbus, a proposal on top of a tower in Toronto, a wedding on the beach in Antigua — and a father who wasn't ready to accept the man she chose to marry, until he was. It's one of the most honest conversations I've had about what real transformation costs, and what it gives back. If you've ever wondered whether an old belief is still quietly running your life, this one's for you.

    Write Like A Human

    AI can spit out clean copy in seconds, but here's the problem: clean copy is starting to sound like everyone. I'm sitting down with Jill Ivey, the "words girl" behind Jilletant, to talk about the one advantage a chatbot can't steal — your voice. Not your font choices. Not your credentials. The actual you that shows up through rhythm, word choice, and the tiny tells that make a reader think, "Yes, I trust this person." We get specific about what makes human writing different. Jill breaks down voice the way writers and editors understand it — the reason you can read an unsigned page and immediately know who wrote it. She shares a real ghostwriting example where something as small as "cannot" versus "can't" is the difference between generic and true-to-the-person. We also talk about why professionalism without humanity backfires, especially for service providers in crowded industries like law, coaching, therapy, accounting, and consulting. Then the conversation opens into the life behind the work: Jill's ADHD diagnosis in her 30s, what finally made it click, and how medication, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and an Adderall shortage forced her to build new strategies around focus and self-compassion. Plus the creative thread running through all of it — the Kentucky Derby story of Barbaro, and the road trip romance novel Jill has been quietly writing for years. If you're building a personal brand, writing a website, or trying to lead with thought leadership without sounding like AI-generated sameness, you'll leave with practical steps and a real mindset shift.

    Four Feet Of Seawater And One Hair Tie

    She lost her home twice and still calls it one of the best things that ever happened to her. That’s not denial, it’s a hard-earned rewrite of what resilience looks like when the life you built gets wiped out by layoffs, flooding, and the kind of uncertainty you can’t “productivity” your way through. We are joined by Sass Schaeffer, a life coach for women in their 40s and the founder of a lifestyle brand. We talk about the midlife awakening so many women feel after years of chasing the next promotion, the next title, and the version of success we were told would finally make us happy. Sass opens up about surrender, why control often comes from fear, and how perimenopause and midlife transitions can spark a powerful shift toward living for ourselves. We also get practical about what rebuilding actually takes: quitting drinking, hot yoga, breathwork, meditation, community, and a gratitude practice that reshapes what a “perfect day” means. The biggest takeaway is simple and challenging: happiness is a skill you build, and it starts with having a vision that’s yours, not someone else’s timeline. If you know a woman who’s quietly disappearing under the weight of doing it all, share this conversation with her.

    Executive Visibility

    She grew up in a funeral home and calls it one of the greatest gifts she ever received. That single detail explains so much about Katie Radel's approach to work, leadership, and the way she thinks about time: life is fragile, the “right moment” is not promised, and pretending you’re fine in a career that drains you is a terrible long-term strategy.  We talk through Katie’s path from Cincinnati to Nashville, from a corporate career in healthcare, marketing, and PR to a midlife awakening that finally made her put the ladder down. She shares what it felt like to choose herself, the very real fear that comes with it, and why starting her PR firm just six months before COVID ended up giving her the reset she didn’t know she needed. Along the way, we get honest about imposter syndrome, faith in yourself, and why entrepreneurship can feel like a spiritual journey that demands therapy, support systems, and constant self-awareness.  Then we go deep on the practical side of executive visibility and thought leadership. Katie breaks down the moment her business clicked when she stopped being a generalist and claimed a clear niche, plus her favorite truth: you can’t read the label when you’re stuck inside the jar. If you’re building a personal brand, leading a company, or trying to get seen for the work you’re already doing, you’ll hear how PR, podcast guesting, speaking, and authentic storytelling work together, especially in a noisy world full of generic AI content.  If you take one line with you, make it this: you are the CEO of your life.

    When Rest Becomes Medicine

    You can look confident on camera and still be fighting for peace off camera. Our guest, Hattie Hawks, knows that contrast intimately and she says the quiet part out loud: when you live with PTSD and chronic stress, your body can literally forget what relaxation feels like. Hattie is a former TV news anchor and now an emotional awareness coach who’s spent years learning the neuroscience of emotions, the mind-body connection, and what it takes to create real nervous system safety. We talk about how she met Jennifer Harris at an all-women networking event and how that surprising alignment turned into Mindful Retreats, a retreat experience centered on rest, safety, and honest human connection. Hattie shares her path from Philly roots to small-town newsrooms, the emotional armor that journalism can require, and the pressure of being “fine” in public while feeling broken at home. She opens up about leaving a marriage that didn’t serve her, relying on faith, navigating court, and doing the deeper work of changing patterns instead of repeating them. Then we zoom out to the bigger mission: building trauma-informed spaces for women and pushing for emotional safety at work. If you care about corporate wellness, psychological safety, burnout recovery, or supporting neurodivergent teams, this conversation gives you language and perspective that actually helps. You’ll also hear the simplest takeaway that can change everything: stay curious about yourself and others, without spiraling into overthinking.

    The Glue Factor

    Your résumé might look like a straight line, but your real life rarely does. I’m sitting down with Jennifer Harris, a self-described “glue” who connects people, systems, and emotions and somehow makes the chaos hold together. Her career story is the kind that instantly challenges the myth that you have to pick one path and stay there: interior design, a hard pivot into bookkeeping during the 2008 era, a rapid climb into executive finance leadership, then consulting and operations leadership as a COO.  We talk candidly about workplace culture, toxic leadership, and what it feels like to be underestimated and underpaid while carrying real responsibility. Jennifer also breaks down a truth that every leader and entrepreneur needs to hear: change management is mostly emotional. Building trust, translating complexity into human language, and helping teams move through fear often matters more than the tool, the software, or the plan. If you care about women in leadership, career pivots, consulting, and building healthy teams, there’s a lot here to take home.  Then the conversation turns to what happens when you refuse to just scroll past a world that feels heavy. Jennifer shares why she started Mindful Retreats, what she learned from an early flop, and how creating a day of rest, journaling, yoga, sound baths, and honest connection can restore people who are doing too much for too long. We close with her mother’s unforgettable metaphor: your life is a tapestry, and the back is supposed to be messy.  Subscribe so you don’t miss Jennifer’s business partner in the next conversation, and if this hit home, share it with a friend and leave a review so more women can find this community.  Jennifer Harris can be reached at jennifer@mindful-retreats.org or visit her webiste at https://www.mindful-retreats.org/.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show She Suite Society Episode FooterThank you for listening to She Suite Society!
