137. Danielle x Kate Kennett: Going All In and Living a Life You Deserve (Re-post)
Kate Kennett is a mother, SCUBA diver, whale enthusiast, content creator, entrepreneur, and life and business coach who wants to help you realize your passion and expand your reach so that you can live a life you deserve. She is a disruptor in the best sense of the term.
As a coach, Kate speaks from experience. She knows the value of taking risks, facing change head-on, learning from mistakes, and saying “yes” even when you don’t feel ready. She believes in asking yourself “why” until no more “why” is left.
We talk about dreams and goals and how to manage the journey in between. How do we stay inspired? What about the steps needed to get to the goal? Can we just ignore the naysayers? Where can we find accountability?
Kate is an absolute delight and her experiences make for great conversation.
Thank you for listening!

136. Compassion Fatigue and Empathy with Liesel Mertes (Re-Post)
Hello. I invite you to join me as I revisit one of my favorite episodes—a discussion of compassion fatigue and empathy with Liesel Mertes. Liesel is a workplace empathy consultant and founder of Handle with Care Consulting.
The need for compassion and empathy after loss or disruption is vital to every aspect of our lives. Even though this can be a heavy topic, our discussion is light and gentle. I’m confident that anyone whose life and worldview have been disrupted over the last several years will find benefit in Liesel’s experience and insight.
We also spend time talking about the workplace specifically. Management must reckon with the fact that today’s workforce values compassionate leadership and that translates to greater productivity, loyalty, and employee retention. I know you’ll appreciate Liesel’s expertise as she walks us through several examples of how managers can realize empathy and compassion as essential leadership skills.
Thank you for listening!

135. How Do You Know When You're on the Path to Healing? (Re-Post)
When doing the emotional work toward healing and recovery, you will at times wonder whether you’re on the right path. Eventually and inevitably, you'll ask how you will know when you are “done” or healed.
This is an important question, so I want to revisit a discussion that explores what it means to heal, how we can identify areas that need attention, and how we can gauge our progress.
I delve into how our bodies can help us pinpoint areas that need healing as well as the nuances that differentiate being triggered from feeling activated.
The level of activation we feel with painful emotions—anger, grief, worry, frustration, and sadness—can tell us a lot about where we are on our journey. The less these emotions consume us, the more healed we become.
One useful way to gauge our level of activation is through journaling about our relationships, memories, and experiences. If you’ve tried journaling, but find yourself getting stuck—not knowing what to write or having trouble going deep—I invite you to get a copy of the Treasured Journal. The Treasured Journal includes questions, prompts, and sentence stems that will help you open up so that you can realize the benefits of journaling.

134. Danielle x Marianne Talkovski: Listening to Your Body (Re-post)
We are inundated every day with images and messaging and even well-intentioned remarks that we are not beautiful enough or thin enough or good enough. The cost of consuming, comparing, and self-criticism in our beauty culture is far too high.
But, the good news is that each of us can learn to re-think the images and re-frame the messaging. We really can get to a place where we love the person we see in the mirror.
Marianne Talkovski is a licensed acupuncturist and esthetician. As the owner of Project Gorgeous, Marianne focuses on organic skin care and acupuncture for stress relief, healthy aging, and fertility.
Her journey, including her own struggles with our cultural standards of beauty, has fueled a passion for helping her clients prioritize self-care, improve their health and energy, pursue their desires, and love the skin they are in.
In this discussion, Marianne explains how our most authentic expression of beauty can be found in radical self-acceptance. We talk about the connection between our emotions and our bodies, the role of awareness in healing, and the way our face reflects the life we live.
I know you’ll find some interesting ideas here. Thank you for listening!

133. Danielle x Corey Sleet: A Hair Stylist & Therapist Talk BIG Dreams and Bad Haircuts (Re-Post)
At the time of this interview, Corey Sleet worked his magic as a Senior Stylist at Bobby Cooper Salon. Now, Corey is co-owner and Master Stylist at Lux Lab Hair + Body in Carmel, Indiana.
Corey describes how, as a kid growing up in Gary, Indiana, he knew at a very young age that he wanted to be a stylist, but he struggled with how others might perceive that desire so he kept the dream to himself for a long time. Today, Corey is one of the leading professionals in his field and I love the story of how he got here.
I first sat in Corey’s chair about a decade ago. I appreciate his unique blend of humor, honesty, and professionalism. We talk about some of my favorite subjects: what it means to have a vision for your future, what happens when doubt sets in, and what it feels like to turn a dream into reality.
I know you’ll enjoy this fun chat with Corey. Thank you for listening!

132. Danielle x Tanorria Askew: Creating Connection & Building Communities Around the Dinner Table (Re-Post)
Tanorria Askew is a DEI consultant and coach, personal chef, cookbook author, public speaker, podcast co-host, and social justice activist. She is passionate about creating connections and community by gathering people around a dinner table to share a memorable meal and unforgettable conversation.
Growing up, she learned to associate food with community and then, as an adult, worked as a corporate trainer focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). But her appearance on season 7 of MasterChef with Gordon Ramsey prompted a leap of faith and sent her down a new path as a business owner who uses her many gifts to unite people of disparate races, cultures, and backgrounds.
You will love Tanorria’s fantastic energy and presence. And I know you’ll find hope and inspiration in her commitment to creating inclusive spaces, breaking down barriers, encouraging uncomfortable conversations, and promoting action in the face of injustice.
Thank you for listening!
