Have you ever heard the phrase, "Whoever dies first wins" and wondered what it could possibly mean?  At first glance, it might sound shocking—even a little unsettling. But for today's guest, those words became part of a profound journey through love, loss, grief, and ultimately, healing.  

My guest today is Karen Bonofiglio, a retired school teacher, psychic medium, and international bestselling author of Whoever Dies First Wins. In the span of just thirteen months, Karen lost her father, her mother, and her beloved husband. What followed was a journey through unimaginable heartbreak, depression, and the deepest questions many of us face after loss. Yet within that darkness, Karen discovered something unexpected: hope, purpose, and a deeper understanding of life's spiritual dimensions. 

In this heartfelt conversation, we'll talk about grief, signs from loved ones, caring for family members with Alzheimer's, the lessons hidden within our hardest experiences, and how Karen transformed her pain into a mission to help others through her widow support community, the Janda Sisters.  

This is a conversation about loss—but even more, it's a conversation about resilience, love, and finding light when life feels impossibly dark.  

Let's dive in. Or should I say “Let’s Call IT in”!

We can look strong on the outside… while quietly battling ourselves on the inside. In today’s episode "From Inner Critic to Inner Coach”, I’m joined by Kym Coco—author, yoga teacher, nature lover, and wellness expert whose life’s work beautifully blends movement, mindfulness, and emotional healing. 

With a Master’s Degree in Sports Kinesiology and years of teaching yoga and wellness workshops around the country, Kym brings both wisdom and lived experience to this powerful conversation. Together, we explore one of the most influential voices we all live with: the inner critic. 

Kym shares her own journey from appearing strong and   healthy on the outside while carrying unresolved anger and grief within… to learning how to create true alignment between body, mind, and spirit.  We talk about how the mind naturally drifts into the past, the future, and self-judgment—and how simple, grounded practices can help us shift that harsh inner voice into an inner coach that supports our confidence, growth, peace, and joy. 

This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t about becoming someone new… It's about learning to meet yourself with more compassion along the way.  

So let’s call in Kym… and let’s Call IT in With Dar.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try… something unseen keeps holding you back?  

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Amy Kemp—coach, CEO, and expert in what she calls “thought habits”—the subconscious patterns quietly shaping how we show up in our work, our relationships, and our lives.  Amy’s journey began as a high school English teacher and evolved into sales and leadership, where she helped others grow professionally. But over time, she noticed something deeper—so many high-achieving women were still feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone. That insight led her to build a thriving coaching practice, where she’s now guided hundreds of women through powerful transformations using her Habit Finder work.  

In our conversation, Amy shares a truth that might just shift everything: you can’t outwork your thought habits. Most of what’s driving your decisions and reactions is happening beneath the surface—and while those patterns were once created to protect you, they may now be the very thing holding you back.  

This episode is about bringing those patterns into the light, giving them a name, and learning how to create new ones that actually support the life you want—so you can experience more clarity, confidence, and ease… without working harder. 

So let’s call in Amy… and let’s Call IT in With Dar.

Most women don’t plan to become caregivers… it just happens. 

One phone call. One fall. One moment where everything changes—and suddenly, you’re expected to know what to do next.  

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Friedman, a professional caregiver who’s seen this reality from every angle—first as a nursing assistant in memory care, hospice, and assisted living… and then as a family caregiver herself.  What she discovered is something so many women quietly face: it’s not just the caregiving that’s overwhelming… it’s the lack of a plan.  That realization led Lindsay to create tools and resources through her platforms—designed to help families understand the care journey ahead, navigate the financial side, and build the right support system before a crisis hits. 

In our conversation, we talk about the real-life impact of unprepared caregiving—from financial strain to family stress—and how simple, proactive steps can protect your independence, your assets, and your peace of mind. You’ll also hear about her free resources, including a care trajectory tool and ebook, plus a special gift for listeners to help you take that first step with confidence. 

This episode is about more than planning… It's about preserving dignity, choice, and a sense of calm in moments that can otherwise feel anything but.  So let’s call in Lindsay… and let’s Call IT in With Dar.

Anger gets a bad reputation… but what if it’s actually one of the most honest signals your body has?  There’s a whole range of emotion we’ve been taught to push down—and anger sits right at the center of it.  

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sandra Lee, who introduces us to a powerful new way of understanding emotion through The Spectrum of Anger™.  With over 30 years of experience—and a background as a Caltech-trained scientist—Sandra shares how high-performing women can stop holding themselves back, quiet that relentless inner critic, and start taking clear, confident action.  

This conversation opens the door to seeing anger not as something to suppress… but as something to understand, work with, and even trust.  So let’s call it in! “Call IT in With Dar!”

You don’t need to do everything perfectly to live a life that feels meaningful, peaceful… and truly your own.  In today’s episode, “Excellence Not Perfection,” I’m joined by Lisa Woodruff, who shares a refreshing and freeing perspective on how women can step out of overwhelm and into a life of greater purpose and ease. 

Lisa opens up about her own journey—from feeling reactive, depressed, and constantly behind in her 30s and 40s… to becoming more positive, proactive, and grounded in her 50s. And what she discovered along the way might just change how you see your home, your time, and even yourself. 

We talk about why overwhelm isn’t just a “busy mom” problem, the three key spaces to organize for your well-being, and the powerful shift from chasing perfection to becoming a woman of excellence—where your best is enough, and peace becomes possible. 

You’ll also hear practical, real-life strategies—like creating a caregiver go-bag for those unexpected moments, and why letting go of things like “perfectly folded laundry” might be one of the most liberating decisions you ever make. This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of permission to stop trying to keep up… and start living in a way that truly supports you. 

So let’s call Lisa… and let’s “Call IT in With Dar. “
