    Stop Giving Up Too Soon — The Secret to Lasting Success | Life Lesson Quotes — Robert B Cide Cardillo | Ep 174

    This week on Relatable Wisdom, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Robert B Cide Cardillo, also known as Bside—a rapper and author whose journey is the definition of resilience and reinvention. Robert shared not just one, but two powerful quotes that have shaped his outlook: “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken,” a family mantra tattooed on his arm, and “The only way to separate the good from the great is to see who’s around after the toll time takes,” a line from his own music. We dig deep into how these philosophies kept him going after a life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, fueling his creativity and leading to his memoir, Myelin My Shoes. Robert’s honesty about staying strong through setbacks and the value of persistence will light a fire for anyone chasing big dreams, facing tough days, or needing a reminder to focus on their goals. If you’re looking for timeless wisdom, real talk, and a dose of inspiration to keep persevering, this episode is for you.

    Stop Waiting for the Right Moment — Persevere and Win | Motivational Quotes — Raj Singh | Ep 173

    In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Raj Singh, VP of New Products at Mozilla, to dig into the quotes and life lessons that have guided him through his entrepreneurial journey. Raj’s mantra, “Try fail, try fail, try fail… try win,” is a powerful reminder that perseverance and resilience are at the core of growth—especially in the world of startups. We explore how this simple, cyclical philosophy helped Raj navigate setbacks, overcome self-doubt, and eventually find success, emphasizing that quitting often comes from fatigue, not failure. Raj also shares another piece of wisdom: “You only get rich once,” encouraging us to focus on the right idea and not spread ourselves too thin. Whether you’re dreaming of building your own business, ready to start something creative, or just searching for motivation to get through tough times, Raj’s perspective on timing, grit, and learning from every attempt will leave you inspired to keep pushing forward.

    Stop Ignoring What Your Pain Is Telling You — Healing Quotes — Jeff Bailey| Ep 172

    What a powerful conversation with Jeff Bailey on this episode of Relatable Wisdom! Jeff shared his favorite quote, “Pain is a messenger, it’s not the problem—listen to the pain and let it lead you to the problem where it can be resolved.” With 45+ years transforming lives through joint health and mobility, his journey from recovering from a ski accident to pioneering Evita Yoga is nothing short of inspiring. Jeff opened up about how pain—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—isn’t just something to avoid, but a meaningful signal guiding us to deeper healing. We explored concrete ways to decode the “message” pain sends us, including slowing down, welcoming discomfort, and applying gentle, mindful movement—even with something as simple as bending a finger. Jeff’s insights help us see pain not as an enemy, but as an invitation to heal, grow, and connect with our inner wisdom. If you’re seeking fresh perspective on resilience, self-care, and well-being, this episode delivers wisdom (and actionable tips!) you can use today.

    You Can’t Love Life on a Budget You Hate | Life Lesson Quotes — Linda Grizely | Ep 198

    In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Linda Grizely, a personal finance educator who brings heart and honesty to money matters. Linda shares her powerful mantra: “You can’t live a life you love on a budget you hate.” Her journey reveals how true financial wellness means aligning your spending plan with your values—embracing both numbers and emotions. As Linda opens up about real-life moments with her husband, we see how “me money” isn’t just a clever trick—it’s game-changing. Her method allows us to add ourselves, unapologetically, to our own budgets and flip the idea of budgeting from restrictive to empowering. Whether you’re a spender, saver, avoider, risk-taker, or security seeker, Linda’s story shows that imperfection is part of the process and that intentional choices are more important than perfection. If you want to nurture your self-worth while building a stable financial future, Linda’s insights are practical, relatable, and designed to spark change—starting today.

    You Don’t Have to Pretend Anymore — The Power of Authentic Community | Life Lesson Quotes — Brian Seim | Ep 196

    In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had an incredible conversation with Brian Seim, founder of Kingdom Family Leader, software engineer, and Christian life coach. Brian vulnerably shared how the classic scripture, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105), became a guiding force in his transformation from outward achievement to inner fulfillment. We dove deep into Brian's journey—how, despite appearing successful as a ski coach, he wrestled with isolation and personal struggles until the power of authentic community and open brotherhood changed everything. Brian's story is a reminder that true growth and healing happen in trusted relationships, not in hiding or perfection. He offered invaluable advice about reaching out, shedding the mask, and taking actionable steps—starting by blessing ourselves so we can better serve those around us. If you’re looking for wisdom on breaking free from isolation and building a life of meaning, this episode is for you.

    You’re Changing Lives Without Even Knowing It | Life Lesson Quotes — Therese Miclot | Ep 197

    In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Therese Miclot, a leadership development consultant and executive coach, for an uplifting conversation about the everyday impact of strong, compassionate leadership. Therese shares her favorite quote, “Better leaders impact real lives,” and the deeply personal story behind it—her mother’s struggles with poor management after the unexpected loss of Therese's father. This commitment to helping others experience better leadership propelled Therese into her vocation of empowering technical leaders to grow beyond their roles as “super doers” into inspiring guides for their teams. We explore practical ways anyone—regardless of title—can change lives, often without even realizing it. Therese’s reflections on deep listening, developing true presence, and shifting our mindset offer actionable wisdom for anyone seeking to lead and connect more meaningfully. Whether you're managing a team or simply wanting to make a better impact on those around you, Therese's insights will inspire you to see leadership as an everyday practice that truly shapes lives beyond the workplace.

    What does it really take to build something meaningful from scratch? In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Andy Ide, the mind behind Horse Records, who shared the mantra that’s shaped his journey: “Success is a staircase, not an elevator.” Andy’s story resonated deeply with me.
