    Cynthia Gregory: Love Notes - Stories of Transformation

    There is something so powerful about our stories.  In this beautiful conversation, I’m joined by the incredible Cynthia Gregory, author, speaker, and creator of the Love Notes Anthology Series, as we explore what it really means to share from the heart. Cynthia takes us behind the inspiration of Love Notes - a movement rooted in TRANSFORMATION, COMPASSION, and now, conscious leadership. Through the voices of everyday people doing extraordinary things, she reminds us that we are all leaders in our own lives… and that our experiences, no matter how small they may seem, have the power to IMPACT someone else in a meaningful way. We talk about courage, rejection, faith, and the willingness to keep showing up - even when it’s hard. Most importantly, we reflect on the truth that your story could be someone else’s survival guide. If you’ve ever wondered if your voice matters, if your story is “enough,” or if you’re being called to share something on your heart - this conversation is your gentle nudge. You matter. Your story matters. And the world needs your story, exactly as it is.

    Dear Carroll: How Do I Find Peace When This Isn't Where I Thought I'd Be?

    In today’s Dear Carroll, I hear from a beautiful listener who is navigating financial stress in this season of life… while also carrying the emotional weight of change, comparison, and wondering, “How did we get here?” She shares about selling the family home of 30 years, continuing to work, supporting her son, and quietly asking a question I think so many of us have felt at one time or another: “Am I experiencing envy or jealousy… and how do I rise above it?” There is so much tenderness here. I talk about the grief that can come with life transitions - the kind we don’t always name, but feel deeply. I share why it’s so important to give ourselves grace in these moments, instead of judging what comes up. We also gently look at that fine line between loving support and creating space for our children to grow into independence. And then, we come back home to what truly matters. 💙 To release comparison, because it will never bring us peace.💙 To honor the sacrifices you’ve made - not overlooking them. 💙 To find gratitude in the everyday, even in something as simple as paying a bill. 💙 And to trust that God is present in all of it… guiding, providing, and walking with us every step of the way. If you’ve ever had a moment where life doesn’t look the way you thought it would… I want you to know - you are not alone in that feeling. And more than that, there is still so much goodness here. So much to be grateful for. So much still unfolding. Let’s take the next step together… gently, faithfully, and with hope 💙 Love and prayers, Carroll 💙 💌 Interested in writing to Dear Carroll?  Submit below - completely anonymously! https://carrollpatrizi.com/dear-carroll-submission  🌍 Stay connected with me! ▪️ Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact   ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4  ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi  ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi  ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT ▪️Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/

    Ezra Dewolfe: ADHD Could Be the Key to Your Biggest Wins - From Chaos to Clarity

    This episode is so special to me, because it’s personal. I sit down with my own ADHD coach, Ezra DeWolf - entrepreneur, founder of the ADHD Tools Company, and someone who has made a profound difference in my life. 💙 If you have ever wondered, “Why can I be brilliant in one area… and completely stuck in another?”... 💙 If you’ve bought every planner, tried every productivity hack, promised yourself you’d be “more disciplined” this year - and it still didn’t stick - this conversation is for you. Ezra shares his own late diagnosis story and explains why ADHD is not a lack of focus - it’s a challenge of controlling focus. We talk about task paralysis, burnout, rejection sensitivity, perfectionism, and the difference between efficiency and true effectiveness. And oh my goodness… that shift alone has changed everything for me! We also explore something that meant so much to me: the idea that many of our struggles are learned behaviours - and what’s learned can be unlearned. That there is nothing “broken” about you. That with the RIGHT tools, the right vocabulary, and the right community, what once felt like a liability can truly become a superpower. We talk about why so many entrepreneurs have ADHD traits, how this impacts our relationships, and how understanding our brains doesn’t just change our businesses - it changes our homes, our confidence, and our sense of peace. I share openly about the difference this work has made in my day-to-day life. It is not too late. I found Ezra later in life, and it has been life-changing. This episode is for the creative thinker. The big dreamer. The one who cares so much it hurts. The one who knows there’s more in them but can’t quite unlock consistency. The one who feels exhausted from trying to “fix” themselves. I cannot wait for you to hear this one.

    Mary Beth Lee Arcidiacono: Finding Meaning After Unthinkable Loss

    Some conversations invite us to slow down, listen deeply, and hold space for life’s most meaningful lessons. In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Mary Beth Lee, a clinical social worker, advocate, and compassionate guide for individuals and families navigating grief, trauma, and life’s unexpected turns. Mary Beth shares how personal experiences shaped her path toward helping others through some of life’s most difficult seasons. With remarkable wisdom, empathy, and grace, she speaks about resilience, the importance of community, and how love and connection can help carry us through even the hardest chapters of life. Together, we talk about honoring our stories, supporting one another through loss, and finding meaning and hope—even when the path forward isn’t clear. This is a conversation about COMPASSION, COURAGE, and the quiet strength that reminds us we are never meant to walk through life’s challenges alone.

    The Lane Brothers: Documenting A Movement - "Still Working 9 to 5"

    In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Larry and Gary Lane — actors, film directors, screen writers, producers, entrepreneurs, and storytellers - for a conversation that left me laughing, learning, and deeply moved. You may know them as The Lane Brothers, the creative force behind the powerful documentary Still Working 9 to 5 - a film that honors the legacy of the iconic movie 9 to 5 while uncovering the real-life movement that sparked change for women in the workplace. What began as a love letter to a beloved film turned into a six-year journey of storytelling, courage, activism, and hope. Together, we talk about the heart behind the documentary, the incredible women who shaped it - including Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and so many others - and why this story still matters more than ever. We explore the power of laughter as a gateway to learning, the role men play in advocating for equality, and how curiosity can replace fear when we allow ourselves to TRULY LISTEN. This conversation is for anyone who: 🕊️ Loves stories that blend heart, humor, and history. 🕊️ Wants to better understand the women’s movement and workplace equality. 🕊️ Believes in using creativity as a force for good. 🕊️ Enjoys a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking, entrepreneurship, and purpose-driven work. Most of all, this episode is an invitation - to LEARN, REFLECT, CELEBRATE progress, and to recognize that there is still beautiful work left to do. Larry and Gary remind us that storytelling can change hearts, spark movements, and bring people together in ways nothing else can. This one is special, so settle in - I know you’ll walk away inspired.

    Rechelle Conde-Nau: Tracing God’s Hand Through Life’s Hardest Moments

    Thank You, Father! 💙🙏🕊️ Today, I sit down with the incredible Rechelle Conde-Nau for a moving conversation about SURRENDER, creativity, healing, and tracing the hand of God through every chapter of our lives. Rechelle shares her powerful story of walking through unimaginable loss and how SURRENDER, trust, and unwavering faith allowed her to see God’s presence woven through every moment. We talk about the promise of Romans 8:28, and the BEAUTY of tracing God’s hand through our stories. Together, we explore creativity as a spiritual act, the COURAGE it takes to step past fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt, and how each of us is uniquely gifted to create, encourage, and serve. Rechelle reminds us that our gifts are not accidental, our stories are sacred, and our lives are meant to reflect God’s love in ways only we can. If you’re: 🕊️ Walking through grief, uncertainty, self-doubt, fear, or transition 🕊️ Longing to feel seen, strengthened, and reminded of God’s closeness …then this episode is for you. It offers space to breathe, reflect, SURRENDER, and trust that even when we only see the tangled threads, God is weaving something beautiful. May this conversation invite you to soften, to RELEASE control, to EMBRACE your gifts, and to TRUST the unfolding of God’s perfect design in your life.
