    Daniel Wood on the 1% Rule: Building Wealth, Confidence & a Life of Purpose (S2:E10)

    What happens when the dream you’re chasing falls apart—and you have to find the courage to begin again? In this episode of Still Finding My Voice, I’m joined by Daniel Wood, co-founder and CEO of the Swedish Wealth Institute, for an honest conversation about mindset, personal growth, and rebuilding after financial setbacks. Daniel shares how a moment of inspiration at a Brian Tracy event sparked his entrepreneurial journey—and how pursuing real estate success without the right knowledge led to a devastating financial collapse. What followed challenged him to rethink success, ask for help, and build a path rooted in his own goals. Along the way, he discovered the value of surrounding himself with people who could help him learn and grow. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER: ✓ How Daniel began treating failure as a source of learning—and what that shift made possible. ✓ Why ambition needs the support of knowledge, preparation, and the right resources. ✓ How connecting with fellow investors helped him find a way forward after financial loss. ✓ The role relationships played in connecting him with mentors, speakers, and new opportunities. ✓ Why defining success for yourself matters more than climbing someone else’s ladder. Whether you’re building a business, navigating a transition, or wondering how to start over, this conversation offers encouragement to take your next step. Daniel’s experience is a reminder that a setback can become a turning point—and that you can ask for support along the way.

    Finding Your Voice at Home: Faith, Family & Healthy Communication with Dr. Alice Benton (S2:E7)

    What happens when we slow down long enough to truly listen to the people we love—and find the courage to ask for what we need? Dr. Alice Benton returns to Still Finding My Voice to talk about faith, family connection, healthy communication, screen management, encouragement, and the journey of using our voices with both truth and grace. Dr. Alice is a licensed clinical psychologist, wife, mother of three, author, and co-host of New Life LIVE. She specializes in parental screen-management coaching, Christian counseling, health and wellness, and trauma recovery. In this episode, we discuss her book, 100 Days of Biblical Family Engagement—a practical devotional built around one Bible verse, three discussion questions, and a brief prayer. Alice explains how small, consistent moments with Scripture can open meaningful family conversations and make biblical principles feel accessible in everyday life. We also explore:• How screens can connect us—but also create distance at home• Why screen-free family meals and face-to-face conversation matter• Modeling healthy technology habits for our children• Balancing five encouraging statements with constructive feedback• Why people pleasing, criticism, and conflict avoidance can silence us• Practicing difficult conversations in safe relationships• Learning to receive compliments instead of brushing them aside• Asking clearly and courageously for what we need• Finding a safe sisterhood where women can strengthen their voices Alice challenged me to ask for one thing I need from the people who love me. Now I’m passing that challenge to you: What is one need you can respectfully express this week? PARENTING SUPPORT Dr. Alice’s parenting support group meets by Zoom on the second Saturday of each month at 8:00 a.m. Pacific. Parents of children of all ages—including adult children—are welcome. The group addresses family connection, screen addiction, preventing estrangement, and preparing children for the real world.
