In this very personal and candid conversation Shanenn Bryant, a relationship confidence expert shares what most people won't say out loud. This is a needed conversation and I invite you to listen and share this out.

Shanenn discusses the issue of jealousy in relationships suggesting that it is often a symptom of deeper personal issues rather than a direct result of a partner's actions. Shanenn said that as relationships become more serious, the stakes are higher and jealousy can intensify. She likened jealousy to an addiction, noting that the constant need for reassurance from a partner can lead to frustration for both parties. 

Those little monsters taking up space in our heads love to work overtime concocting new ways to convince us that we're not good "enough".  Telling us we're not: 

• Smart enough
• Lovable enough
• Attractive enough
• Funny enough
• Skilled enough
• Worthy enough

or any other soul-crushing blows they can lob your way.Jealousy is not the problem itself, but rather a solution to an underlying issue. 

Shanenn and Sharon also touched on the idea that jealousy often stems from beliefs and the need to examine one's own thoughts and feelings. 

Shanenn and Sharon discussed the societal pressure on women to be self-sufficient and its impact on their confidence and performance at work and emphasized the importance of focusing on the subconscious mind for lasting change.

In today’s episode, Rob Fornango, founder of F1 Analytics, shares his personal journey through extreme burnout and how he discovered the path to work-life balance. Rob doesn’t just share his own transformation but offers insight into recognizing burnout in your team and how to address it before it takes a toll on performance. From pivoting his career to find fulfillment to challenging the common "work hard, play hard" narrative, Rob’s story is a must-listen for anyone looking to build a healthier relationship with their work.

Rob's wisdom:

Burnout’s Impact on Performance: Rob emphasizes that it’s impossible to do your best work when you’re burnt out or stuck in a job you hate.  

The Backlash of Staying for Money: There's a serious downside when you're paid more to do a job that doesn't align with you - when you come off the money high you're still burned out.

The "Work Hard, Play Hard" Myth: Rob shares how easy it is to get caught in the work hard, play hard belief. 

Career Pivot: Rob’s inspiring career shift—from building the criminology program at Arizona University to founding F1 Analytics—reveals the power of following what truly fulfills you. His story highlights the courage it takes to leave a prestigious role and pursue a passion that not only brought him peace but also allowed him to help others in a meaningful way.

In this heartfelt episode, I have a candid conversation with Chet Gladkowski—an author, hope dealer, and storyteller extraordinaire. Chet brings us along on a deeply personal journey, sharing stories that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced heartbreak, failure, or moments of doubt.

Chet opens up about a pivotal moment during a ball game, where one simple comment from his father shifted the way he saw hope—and almost caused him to give up on hope entirely. It’s a powerful reminder of how words can shape us, for better or worse.

Throughout our conversation, Chet candidly shares stories of hope, wisdom and leadership woven into his experiences with hopelessness, failure and heartbreak. But what’s even more inspiring is how he found hope on the other side. Chet reveals how his faith has been the anchor in his journey, leading him through the toughest times.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the gift of listening. Chet talks about how truly listening to others has transformed his relationships and given him the opportunity to love on a deeper level while building their trust.

This episode is a raw and real look into the ups and downs of life, and how faith and hope can bring light even in the darkest moments.
