    How Gut Health Can Transform Your Life with Teresa Firebaugh

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your health, but still not feeling your best? In this episode of Make Your Passion Pay, I sit down with Teresa Firebaugh to explore a powerful and often overlooked foundation of wellness: gut health. Teresa shares her journey from a 30+ year career in pharmacy to discovering a more holistic approach that truly changed her life, and now the lives of others. After years of frustration with simply adding more prescriptions without solving root issues, Teresa found herself on her own health journey, struggling with sleeplessness, brain fog, low energy, and chronic conditions. It wasn’t until she began focusing on her gut health that everything started to shift. Together, we unpack how the microbiome impacts far more than digestion, from mood and hormones to inflammation and chronic illness—and why so many common symptoms may actually trace back to what’s happening in your gut. Teresa also shares how following her passion led her into entrepreneurship, building a business centered around helping others reclaim their health. Her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to quit your job overnight, you can take intentional steps toward a path that aligns with your purpose. If you’ve been feeling stuck, low energy, or simply curious about how to feel better in your body, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible. Your health, your energy, and your purpose are all connected. Let’s make your passion pay, starting from the inside out. Teresa Firebaugh’s Bio: Teresa Firebaugh is a pharmacist of over 30 years turned gut health educator and wellness advocate. After experiencing her own health challenges and frustration with traditional approaches that focused solely on symptom management, Teresa discovered the transformative power of supporting the body through gut health. Today, through her business TFire4GutHealth, she educates and supports individuals in understanding the vital role the microbiome plays in overall wellness, from digestion and energy to mood and chronic conditions. She partners with Plexus to provide products and guidance that help people restore balance, reduce inflammation, and feel their best. Teresa is passionate about helping others move beyond “just managing symptoms” to truly improving their quality of life. She is also building a growing community centered around education, support, and shared wellness journeys.

    The Power of Authenticity in Business with Tena Pettis

    Ever feel like you’re trying to follow someone else’s blueprint for success, only to realize it doesn’t quite fit? What if the real key to success isn’t doing more, but becoming more you? In this episode of Make Your Passion Pay, I sit down with the bold and authentic Tena Pettis to explore the idea of “cheat codes”, the unique strengths, stories, and quirks that set you apart and accelerate your success when you fully own them. Tena shares her powerful journey from building a seven-figure business to realizing that success without alignment isn’t true success at all. We dive into the importance of embracing what makes you different (even if it’s a little “black licorice”, you’re either loved or not, and that’s the point!) and how leaning into your authenticity can actually deepen connection and attract the right people. We also unpack how confidence isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you reveal by recognizing and owning your personal cheat codes. Many of the stories and insights shared in this episode come from Tena’s book, Remind Them of No One, where she dives deeper into what it means to stand out, embrace your uniqueness, and build a life and business that truly fits who you are. If this conversation resonates with you, her book is a powerful next step to continue uncovering and owning what makes you unforgettable. From stories about her networking-savvy dad to building businesses rooted in truth and faith, Tena brings both heart and strategy to the conversation. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, people-pleasing, or trying to fit into a mold that isn’t yours, this episode will give you permission (and practical insight) to step fully into who you were created to be. Let’s make your passion pay, by being unapologetically YOU. Meet Tena: Tena Pettis is an author, speaker, and business coach who helps women entrepreneurs step into the one thing no one else can compete with—their authenticity. After hustling her way to seven figures in her 30s, Tena realized success without alignment wasn’t really success at all. Now, she inspires audiences to embrace their “cheat codes”—the unique strengths, quirks, and stories God has given them—to grow businesses that actually fit their lives. Tena is the founder of FLOW, a coaching community for women in business, and the author of Remind Them of No One. She’s known for her real-talk style, 80s/90s throwback stories, and ability to leave audiences both laughing and teary-eyed—all while handing them practical strategies to take home. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband Preston and their three teenagers, and she’ll never turn down a night filled with laughter and good conversation.

    Rewiring Your Subconscious for Growth

    What if the challenges you’re facing right now aren’t problems at all… but portals? In this powerful and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Darren Weissman, creator of The LifeLine Technique®, to explore how our subconscious mind shapes our reality, and how we can begin to shift it. We talk about what it really means to be “aware that you’re aware” and why so many of the patterns holding us back are running beneath the surface. Darren shares how unresolved experiences and limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious can quietly influence our decisions, our relationships, and even our success in business. This episode will invite you to look at stress, fear, and even physical symptoms in a completely different way, not as something to fix, but as feedback… and an opportunity for growth. One of my favorite takeaways: we don’t perceive the truth, we perceive what we believe. And when we can change those beliefs, everything begins to shift. We also dive into: The core principles behind The LifeLine Technique®Why the subconscious mind always overrides conscious choiceHow “problems” can become doorways to your next level of growthThe role of curiosity and compassion in personal and professional transformationHow awareness can help you lead, build stronger teams, and create a more intentional lifeIf you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t quite explain, or you know there’s a deeper level of growth available to you, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.
