Inspired by a recent coaching conversation, this episode explores one of the biggest questions I hear: “How do I use my unique story to actually make a difference?” Here’s what you’ll hear inside:  • Why your story matters and how it could be the lifeline someone else needs.  • The power of the question: “What if your purpose is to find your gift and give it away?”  • A simple exercise called the lifeline, where you map out your life’s pivotal moments to uncover meaning and purpose.  • How to identify recurring themes and patterns that reveal your resilience, lessons, and growth.  • Clues to your natural gifts (what can you talk about for hours without running out of steam).  • A reflection on your motivations: do you want to inspire, educate, entertain, or empower. This episode is your reminder that your voice has power, your experiences carry weight, and your story could be the exact encouragement someone else is waiting for. Take a listen, reflect on your journey, and share this episode with a friend who needs it. Also leave a review on Apple Podcasts, it helps get more impactful messages like this out into the world!

    Live your most audacious life now with Erika Rothenberger & Jess Dahl Ep.70

    Dreams to Reality Mastermind is OPEN!—a sacred space for women leaders, visionaries, and dreamers who are ready to stop playing small and bring their biggest visions to life. If you’re ready to expand your business or your brand & stop circling around your calling and build the future you've been imagining, the Dreams to Reality Mastermind is where it begins. DM me @jessdahl_ or visit jessdahl.com to learn more and save your seat. I had the incredible honor of sitting down with Erica Rothenberger — keynote speaker, construction executive, entrepreneur, and audacious leader — for a conversation that left me inspired, grounded, and ready to step even more fully into the vision God has placed in my heart. From the moment we hit record, Erica brought so much truth and depth. She opened up about what it means to say “yes” to the desires in your heart, even when they don’t fully make sense yet. As a mother of two, she’s walking through what she calls a “midlife awakening” — trading in people-pleasing for purpose, and small talk for soul-led leadership. We talked about what it means to release the myth of balance and step into alignment, choosing integration and intention over burnout and busyness. Erica shares how she writes down three audacious goals every single day and walks us through the practice of "audacious expansion" — also the title of her upcoming book (out January 2026!). But what truly moved me was Erica’s willingness to share a deeply personal and powerful story of resilience — how a moment of deep trauma became a catalyst for profound transformation. She reminds us that resilience isn’t just about pushing through — it’s about learning when to rest, when to rise, and how to own your story with courage and clarity. Whether you're in a season of rebuilding, realignment, or radical action, this episode is for you. Get ready to feel seen, challenged, and wildly encouraged to take bold steps toward your dreams. Tune in now — and don’t forget to share this episode with a friend who’s ready to say yes to their own audacious journey.
