    Tools to Navigate Burnout with Suzanne Boudreau (Episode 392)

    “The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body.” – Dr. Bruce Lipton Check Out These Highlights: I remember the first time I received an email about the law of attraction; I was hooked. I felt like I had uncovered another world that had been hidden from me. Now, 23 years later, I know that our minds are truly powerful and that we have complete control of what we create in our lives. Our minds do create our reality. At that time, I had two small children and was two years into building my business. I had one speed, fast, back then, and my body and mind couldn’t keep up with the demand I had placed on myself. So, receiving the email and many more that followed, I realized I had to take control of my mind, body, and spirit. What are your mind and body telling you? Are you listening or ignoring so you can get your to-do list done at all costs? About Suzanne Boudreau: Suzanne is the founder of GuidedSerenity.com. After years as a traditional, dedicated nurse, she hit a wall—severe burnout, also known as adrenal fatigue. Suzanne was exhausted, anxious, and struggling to function, and conventional medicine had no answers. That’s when she turned to holistic healing—yoga, nutrition, Reiki, and mindset coaching—and it transformed her life. Now, she’s on a mission to help people who suffer from anxiety and stress. Many are caregivers, individuals, or parents who can choose to recognize, restore, and revive their energy through a proven, holistic approach. Her program offers online/Zoom learning, one-on-one coaching, and a supportive community to help you break free from burnout and reclaim your vitality.

    Career Reinvention after 50 with Beverly Smith (Episode 391)

    “The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.

  4. Break Free From the 9-to-5 Mindset with Philip Johansen (Episode 390)

    Break Free From the 9-to-5 Mindset with Philip Johansen (Episode 390)

    “You can’t have a million-dollar dream with a minimum wage work ethic.” – Stephen C. Hogan Check Out These Highlights: If you have been following me, I have been on a mission lately to shift the thinking that it’s not okay to accept the hostile way some huge corporate conglomerates have been treating their employees. It’s unconscionable! I want to help people shift their mindset from feeling trapped with the only option in life being to work in a corporate setting to stepping out on their own and creating freedom in their lives, while also giving back to the world with their gifts and genius.  In today’s episode, my guest and I will discuss what it truly takes to break free from the 9-to-5 and the mindset required to build financial freedom and a happy life. He’s going to share the raw truth about growth, visibility, and the importance of authenticity in today’s digital space. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re ready for your next level, this conversation will light a fire under you.  About Philip Johansen: Philip is also known as Hustle Phil. He deleted my 1.2 million Instagram followers to start from scratch and achieve success online (his new account is currently at 50k+ followers and growing daily). Philip built a multi-million-dollar affiliate marketing business, and now he helps others do the same. Just a few years ago, he was a plumber in Denmark, commuting three hours a day, wondering if that was all life had to offer. Hitting rock bottom forced him to make a change, and through relentless discipline and a proven system, he turned everything around. Today, he runs a thriving affiliate marketing business, helping people worldwide escape the 9-5 and create financial freedom. He has personally mentored over 15,000 students, many of whom have replaced their job or supplemented their salary with $3,000-$5,000 per month for more freedom. The transformations he sees every day are what keep me fired up.

    Business Mastery and Emotions with Donnalynn Riley (Episode 389)

    “I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” – Oscar Wilde Check Out These Highlights: I feel that people often respond with aggressive behavior to share their feelings and emotions. I also think that many people don’t understand emotional intelligence and believe that sharing their thoughts is the only alternative, assuming their opinion should be heard because they feel they are right. However, in reality, this type of thinking can hinder us professionally and personally.  In today’s powerful episode, my guest reveals how your emotional state directly impacts your business outcomes—from work performance to decision-making and leadership presence. You’ll learn why emotional mastery isn’t just about feeling better; it’s a strategic advantage that fuels clarity, resilience, and measurable growth. Whether you’re navigating change, hitting a plateau, or scaling to new heights, this conversation will give you tools to align your energy and elevate your results.  About Donnalynn Riley: Donnalynn is a strategic executive coach, joyologist, and international speaker who helps high performers achieve exceptional results without sacrificing their well-being.

  6. Profits Gained Through Employee Development with Connie Whitman (Episode 388)

    Profits Gained Through Employee Development with Connie Whitman (Episode 388)

    “Every enterprise is a learning and teaching institution. Training and development must be built into it on all levels—training and development that never stops.” — Peter Drucker Check Out These Highlights: Lately, I feel like the pendulum is moving away from caring for employees and clients to being more transactional about earnings and the bottom line. It makes me sick because business should be easy and profitable, with a win-win philosophy, not a transactional approach of ‘dog-eat-dog’. Big businesses often lose sight of the power and importance of developing their human capital for several interconnected reasons. During today’s show, I’d like to break down some of the key causes of this lack of respect for employees within organizations that seems to be at the root of this lack of care and respect. About Connie Whitman: Known for her high-energy, passionate, heart-centered, and enthusiastic approach to sales, teaching and coaching, Connie Whitman has been the CEO of Changing the Sales Game for 25+ years helping banks and credit union leaders and sales teams build powerhouse organizations. Connie is a four-time #1 International Best-Selling author, including her book ESP (Easy Sales Process): 7-Steps to Sales Success, speaker, and podcast host. Her inspired teaching, transformational tools and content ensure that bankers, advisors, and salespeople grow their revenue streams through enhanced communication skills.

  7. The Freedom to Make An Impact in Your Life with AJ Vassar (Episode 387)

    The Freedom to Make An Impact in Your Life with AJ Vassar (Episode 387)

    “Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and of human dignity.” — Herbert Hoover Check Out These Highlights: The word "freedom" has different meanings for different people. For me, it means having the opportunity and the choice to do what I do every day. My dad came to this country from Italy when he was 20. Growing up, he used to tell us that we could do anything we chose. He also shared that since we have the freedom in this country, he taught us to work hard and show up every day. Be honest and kind, and do the right thing. So, for me, freedom doesn’t mean doing what I want at the cost of hurting someone else. All these lessons have allowed me to make choices that were right for me and my family. Some worked out well, and others were life lessons that helped me grow and become the person I am today. What does freedom mean to you? My guest today is A.J. Vassar, the founder of the Pre-Sold Client System and Small Stages Big Profits. He helps entrepreneurs turn their message into money by getting in front of the right audiences, ready to buy. A.J. is on a mission to replace cold leads and hard sales with trust-based visibility that attracts ready-to-buy clients. His systems create income, impact, and influence—without the noise of ads or algorithms. How to Get in Touch with A.J.

  8. Why CCOs Are a Company's Secret Weapon with Charley Johnson (Episode 386)

    Why CCOs Are a Company's Secret Weapon with Charley Johnson (Episode 386)

    Why CCOs Are a Company's Secret Weapon with Charley Johnson (episode 386) "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” – John Quincy Adams Check Out These Highlights: Leadership is so much more than a title, such as CEO, CFO, or EVP. I have seen great leaders who have no title at all; they care deeply, show up big every time they arrive at work, and inspire others to do the same. Inspiring your team and growing their skills is truly the job of great leaders.  Yet, I see it all the time, where our corporate leaders, especially in large companies, have lost sight of the human perspective, and it’s all about shareholder value. Shareholders are essential, yet not at the cost of the people who create the profit. So what are we doing wrong? About Charley Johnson: Charley has 20+ years in corporate as a business owner, 7 years in non-profit as the president of the Pay it Forward Foundation, and 10 years with an enlightened teacher. The combination of these three things creates a unique set of skills that will be crucial for companies and their employees moving forward. He is working to bring the position of Chief Consciousness Officer to the forefront of the business world and into all companies.
