    Rise Above the Noise with Marco Lopez

    Michele welcomes Marco Lopez, founder of Mind Tune and author of “Tune In: The Human Edge in an Age of Noise,” who helps leaders quiet mental noise for clear decision-making and peak performance. Marco shares how a diverse upbringing and advice to “do what you like” led him to study music and languages and pursue a purpose-driven path rather than money. He explains that clarity comes from creating mental space, affirming belief in a definite purpose, and writing about dreams without limiting beliefs. Marco discusses helping his wife find her own expression and outlines his RISE method—Relax, Imagine, Sense, Enjoy—to reach a calm “vantage” point for better handling stress. He emphasizes daily practices like exercise and writing a “greater self script,” trusting spirit, letting go of others’ opinions, and believing women are enough and worthy. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:30 Marco’s Early Influences 03:06 Following What You Like 05:02 Family and Finding Expression 07:27 Clarity Through Purpose 09:31 Big Goals and Fast Timelines 11:08 Women, Worthiness, and Fear 14:41 Book Takeaways in Noisy Times 16:40 RISE Method for Quiet 21:20 Daily Practices and Balance 25:23 Enoughness and Spiritual Unity Thanks for listening to YES!

Women's Network: Facebook | Instagram | YouTube About Marco Marco Lopez is a Peak Performance Strategist, speaker, author, and father of five. He helps leaders quiet the noise in their heads so they can think clearly, decide well, and get more done without straining. He grew up in constant motion — more than forty moves before he was nine, two countries, and a family that came apart — with a mind he couldn't count on from one day to the next. He assumed something was wrong with him. What he learned, from his father's writings on mental clarity and his grandfather's books on purpose, was that his capacity was never the problem. The noise sitting on top of it was. As founder of MindTune, he teaches people to tune the mind the way a musician tunes an instrument — fitting, since before he was a strategist he was a technology executive and a professionally trained opera singer. He lost his singing voice on a stage in Brazil in his early twenties and got it back nearly twenty years later, using the same work he now teaches. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Marco has worked with more than 5,000 leaders across four continents. He is the author of Tune In: The Human Edge in an Age of Noise. He believes the highest performance and the most meaningful life come from the same place — a quiet, clear, trusting mind.

    Women’s Role in Wealth Planning with Ginger Harris

    On the Yes Women’s Network podcast, wealth advisor Ginger Harris of Andina Family Offices shares how her father’s sudden death and her mother’s struggle with probate and unmanaged finances led her into finance. She urges women to stay involved even when a spouse handles money by knowing where assets are and attending regular advisor meetings, noting many women feel detached, find finance terminology boring, or lack a sense of ownership. Harris describes advising couples with differing goals—family security vs. charity—by focusing on facts like annual living needs and inheritance goals to reduce emotion and reach agreement. She discusses the “shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves” pattern of losing wealth in three generations and emphasizes building family culture, traditions, and values to avoid entitlement, structure inheritance thoughtfully, communicate expectations to prevent family division, and define wealth as overall wellbeing, including health and relationships. 00:00 Meet Ginger Harris 01:48 Her Finance Origin Story 03:53 Women Staying Involved 04:48 Why Women Disengage 08:33 Money Values In Marriage 09:53 Mediating With Facts 10:33 Keeping Wealth Across Generations 13:36 Avoiding Affluenza In Kids 15:08 When To Give Inheritance 18:53 Family Bank And Transparency 22:18 Wealth Beyond Money 23:45 Relationships As Investment 26:55 Say Yes To Yourself Thanks for listening to YES!

    Stop Building Alone With Jodie Lemon

    Jodie Lemon shares a week in her affordable-housing real estate work, describing a three-hour Zoom meeting with the mayor, five city council members, her two sons, engineers, and a supportive colleague builder in downtown Salt Lake. Although the meeting went well until the last ten minutes when it turned “sideways,” her sons stepped in to help and she reflects on relying on family and strong professional relationships to navigate setbacks. She emphasizes the value of having people in your corner, encourages listeners to find and be that support for others, and notes that relationships are what matter most when life is hard. 00:00 Why Women Get Stuck 01:40 The Meeting Goes Sideways 02:15 Family In Your Corner 03:46 Build Your Support Circle Thanks for listening to YES!

    Broke, Happy, and Building Wealth with Heather Osmond

    On the Yes! Women’s Network Podcast, host Jodie Lemon interviews Utah entrepreneur and designer Heather Osmond about her journey from a young marriage and early real estate work into founding Osmond Designs, which grew from staging homes into a full-service furniture and interior design business serving model homes, luxury homes, and major builders across Utah. Heather shares how she and her former husband built wealth through disciplined real estate investing—starting by renting out part of their first home, eventually owning 33 single-family rentals, then shifting into assisted living facilities (later sold before COVID) and retail shopping centers. She discusses practical, low-cost home updates for resale, her family’s involvement in her businesses, her “never pay retail” philosophy (including a car dealer license), launching an Italy-made clothing line, purchasing the Best of State awards business, sponsoring Stadium of Fire giveaways, and how faith, resilience, and adaptability guided her through divorce and growth. 00:00 Meet Heather Osmond 02:00 Osmond Designs Origin 04:02 Full Service Design 05:53 Rental Property Hustle 10:09 Commercial Real Estate 14:07 Never Pay Retail 16:21 Buying Best of State 19:38 Why Faith Comes First 21:51 Advice for New Entrepreneurs 23:19 Divorce and Thriving 25:42 Winning on Price Is Right Thanks for listening to YES!

    What You Put Into Your Mind Shapes Your Life with Michele Morley

    Michele shares reflections on how what people consume mentally affects their perceptions, energy, attitude, and ability to live with peace and purpose. Using analogies of the mind as a trash can and a vacuum, she emphasizes that everything taken in—through reading, movies, news, or reels—gets stored and influences how one views the world, family, business, and faith. She admits being guilty of not always choosing beneficial inputs and challenges herself and listeners to be more intentional about what they watch and read to protect their “light,” reach full potential, and make a difference. 00:00 Why Women Feel Stuck 00:37 Trash Can Mind Analogy 01:04 Vacuum and Mental Inputs 01:30 How Inputs Shape Life 01:46 Is It Beneficial 02:29 Checking My Media Diet 03:00 Awareness and Purpose Thanks for listening to YES!

    Turning Pain into Purpose with Brandy Vega

    Host Michelle Morley welcomes Brandy Vega—Christian US Army veteran, award-winning media executive, and founder of Promise to Live, a global suicide prevention and mental health movement. Brandy shares faith-driven turning points that taught her to trust God through hardship, take proactive steps without seeing the full picture, and lean on prayer, community, and gratitude during difficult seasons, including losing a Promise to Live volunteer to suicide and supporting a child in crisis. She recounts her daughter’s suicide attempt, a perceived miracle recovery, and the promise that inspired Promise to Live in 2021, emphasizing that many people want to end pain, not life. Brandy teaches practical tools: ASKEM (ask, seek, knock, expect miracles), ASK (acknowledge, support, keep in touch), asking “How are you really?”, 1–10 check-ins, and assuming others like you. 00:00 Miracle Second Chance 02:23 Pivot Pressure And Identity 03:36 Heartbreak And Trusting God 05:49 ASKEM Faith In Action 09:15 Hard Weeks And Asking Help 11:23 Prayer Power And Support 12:49 Chinese Farmer Perspective 14:13 Gratitude Shifts Focus 15:15 Hospital Miracle Promise 17:50 Birth of Promise to Live 18:48 ASK Method Explained 20:43 Ask How Are You Really 22:44 Direct Suicide Questions 23:42 Check In 1 to 10 24:58 Carrying the Urgency 27:07 Media Strategy Millions Reached 28:57 Assume Everyone Loves You Thanks for listening to YES!

    Setting Priorities with Valinda Hanks

    Valinda Hanks from Yes Women’s Network discusses juggling many roles—business owner or employee, wife, daughter, grandmother, sister, and friend—and the pressure to be available for everyone. She shares that balance isn’t equal and shifts over time, with some seasons requiring more focus on work and others on family. Valinda describes learning to prioritize presence, recalling how she used to come home focused on chores instead of being in the moment with her kids. Now as a grandmother, she cherishes weekly calls and visits, puts her phone down, and listens even when stories repeat. She also schedules dedicated one-on-one days each month with each grandchild. A conversation with strangers at a bar reinforces her belief to never apologize for answering family calls, since those moments can’t be regained. 00:00 Wearing Many Hats 01:35 Redefining Balance 02:07 Be Present at Home 02:54 Grandkids Come First 03:45 Scheduling Quality Time 04:05 Bar Story Life Lesson 05:05 Choose Presence Always Thanks for listening to YES!
