What if the clarity you're desperately seeking is already waiting for you in the silence you're avoiding? Kathleen Hebner discovered this truth during a devastating divorce that left her depressed for two weeks-until one morning she caught herself in the mirror and decided "no more." Her journey from that rock-bottom moment to becoming a transformational mindset coach wasn't fueled by endless action or hustle, but by learning to listen to what she calls "the whisper within." The turning point came during a simple dog walk when she received an audible download that would become the foundation of her entire coaching practice.

Kathleen reveals why Type-A personalities struggle most with stillness and how our constant digital noise drowns out the very guidance we need most. She shares her "20 questions of joy" exercise that helped a numbers-obsessed CPA transform not just her own work experience but energize her entire team around spreadsheets and financial reports. From technology glitches as spiritual messages to the science behind gut instincts, this conversation challenges everything you think you know about finding direction in chaos. You'll discover why ignoring your intuition leads to what Kathleen calls "tower moments"-life-altering redirections that force you back on path-and practical techniques for accessing clarity even if meditation makes you want to crawl out of your skin.

This week on CLARATY in Action, we are diving into one of the biggest game changers in business and leadership… SYSTEMS.

What happens when you're fighting sepsis in a hospital bed while managing multiple real estate transactions worth $50,000? Rose Tausaga discovered the life-saving power of business systems during her darkest moment. After 11 years in real estate, Rose had built bulletproof systems that literally kept her business running when she couldn't. Her simple $4 pizza delivery system alone has generated over $150,000 in referral business, proving that small, consistent touches create massive results.

Rose breaks down why most entrepreneurs resist systems, thinking they'll kill flexibility and freedom, when the opposite is true. She reveals how systems saved her over $100,000 annually in assistant costs, gave her back 10 hours per week, and allowed her to scale without sacrificing service quality. From her "hit by a bus" awakening at a conference to building Epic, her plug-and-play system for real estate professionals, Rose shows how the right systems transform chaos into clarity and transactions into lasting relationships.

More clarity.
Less chaos.
Better results.
That’s the power of systems. 

Ready to transform chaos into clarity in your business? You'll discover exactly how to build systems that work even when you can't, plus Rose's simple strategies that have generated hundreds of thousands in additional revenue.

After a health scare, Rose learned the POWER of systems.  Without them, she would not have been able to keep her business and her family going.  As the founder of EPIC Systems, her goal is to provide support for Realtors so they can Serve their clients at a higher level, and have more time to live life.

What if the reason your team resists accountability has nothing to do with laziness and everything to do with how you're approaching it? Tracy Peterson, who coaches 40 high-performing professionals, reveals why accountability has become a dirty word in business and shares the exact framework that transforms resistance into ownership. Her breakthrough moment came when she stopped pretending everything was fine with her own coach and got brutally honest about what she actually needed help with. That shift changed everything about how she approaches accountability with her clients. 

Tracy breaks down the myth that accountability means someone else sets your goals, explains why discipline trumps motivation every time, and shares her game-changing question that eliminates the blame game entirely. You'll discover the three-door approach that puts ownership back where it belongs and learn why asking 'what got in the way?' creates breakthrough conversations instead of defensive responses.

What if the discomfort you're feeling isn't a sign something's wrong, but proof you're exactly where you need to be? Quinn reveals why high-performing leaders get stuck in what he calls the "achievement syndrome" - constantly chasing the next mountain while never celebrating progress. Through real coaching stories, he breaks down the identity gaps that keep mission-driven entrepreneurs spinning their wheels and shares the framework that helps them gain clarity on their true role within their organization. The conversation gets raw about letting go of control, communicating vision during rapid scaling, and why most people resist investing in themselves even when they know it's necessary.

Clara and Quinn dive deep into the messy middle of growth - that uncomfortable space where change feels overwhelming and retreat seems easier. You'll discover why discipline trumps motivation every time, how to coach people through resistance without becoming a micromanager, and the simple question that transforms accountability from punishment into partnership. Whether you're scaling from 350 to 1,300 employees or just trying to level up personally, this episode delivers the clarity and practical tools to turn growth friction into forward momentum.

This week on CLARATY in Action, I sit down with Carol Schultz, founder and CEO of Vertical Elevation, for a real, no-BS conversation about one of the biggest traps leaders fall into: thinking too small.
Carol brings decades of experience in executive search, leadership coaching, and building what she calls talent-centric organizations—businesses that align people, strategy, and vision to actually drive results.
But here’s the truth we unpack in this episode:
Most leaders aren’t stuck because they lack ability… they’re stuck because they’ve unconsciously shrunk their thinking.
We talk about:
How “playing small” shows up in decision-making, hiring, and leadership habits
The blind spots that keep business owners doing everything themselves instead of scaling
Why alignment—at the leadership level first—is the key to unlocking growth across the entire organization
And the hard truth: if you don’t expand your thinking, your business will never outgrow you
Carol shares powerful insights on shifting from reactive leadership to intentional growth, and why investing in the right support (instead of trying to do it all) is often the breakthrough move leaders resist the most.
This episode is a wake-up call to stop operating in limitation and start leading with clarity, vision, and bold decision-making.
Bottom line:
If your business feels stuck, it’s not just strategy—it’s mindset. And until you think bigger, nothing else changes.

Carol Schultz is a recognized thought leader in the business world best known for her creation of “Talent-Centric Organizations” (TCOs). She has dedicated her career to creating spaces where employees feel valued and engaged, leadership is aligned, and the bottom line is ever-growing. 

Years into her career, she noticed a pattern in the problems her clients were facing. CEOs had repeatedly approached her with what they thought was a “recruiting problem” or a “retention problem” because they were losing employees. However, it was revealed to be the same deeper issue every time: prioritizing money over talent.  

Carol spent years researching and formulating an approach to this systemic problem. In her best-selling book, “Powered By People”, she uncovered a path forward: talent-centricity.  She then designed and launched Vertical Elevation, a talent equity and leadership coaching and advisory firm dedicated to transforming companies into TCOs. To date, she and her team have helped businesses in almost every industry. Not only does she assist clients privately, but she also does speaking engagements to educate leaders collectively.  

Passionate about entrepreneurship and inspiring future founders, she also hosts the “Evolving Your Workplace Show”, a podcast where she interviews various founders about their successes and failures.

This week on CLARATY in Action, I sit down with former NCIS Special Agent turned leadership expert Rebecca Fitzsimmons to challenge one of the biggest lies we’ve been sold:

Balance is NOT the goal. Harmony is.

After nearly two decades operating in high-pressure, high-stakes environments around the world, Rebecca shares why the traditional idea of balance is actually holding leaders back—and what to do instead.

We dive into her concept of Tactical Harmony—a powerful approach to leadership that blends discipline, mindset, and self-awareness to help you perform at your highest level without burning out.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why chasing “balance” keeps you stuck and scattered
• How to lead yourself first so you can lead others better
• The difference between managing time vs. managing energy
• How to stay grounded, focused, and effective—even in chaos

If you’re a high performer, business owner, or leader feeling the pressure of doing it all… this conversation will shift how you think, lead, and show up.

👤 GUEST BIO (Rebecca Fitzsimmons)

Rebecca Fitzsimmons is a former NCIS Special Agent turned holistic leadership coach, keynote speaker, author, and podcast host. After spending approximately 15 years in federal service—much of it with NCIS—and serving in leadership roles across the globe, she developed a deep understanding of what it takes to perform under pressure and lead effectively in high-stakes environments. 

Through her company, Tactical Harmony, Rebecca now helps ambitious professionals and organizations build a “victory mindset” and operate at peak performance by integrating mindset, emotional intelligence, and holistic leadership strategies. 

Her work is rooted in the belief that true leadership starts from within—and that when you align your mindset, energy, and actions, you don’t just succeed… you thrive.

You’re not stuck because you lack discipline.
You’re stuck because you’re running a program.

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, I sit down with hypnotherapist for leaders, Christina L. Woods, to call out the real reason your habits, patterns, and emotional cycles refuse to change—no matter how hard you try.

We’re talking about:

• The resolutions that never stick
• The self-care routines that collapse under pressure
• The procrastination → panic → repeat cycle
• And the frustrating reality of knowing better… but not doing better

Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:
You cannot willpower your way out of subconscious programming.

And if you’re relying on logic alone to fix emotional or behavioral patterns—you’re fighting a battle you’re wired to lose.

This conversation breaks down the myths you’ve been sold about change and gives you a new lens on what it actually takes to shift behavior at the root.

Because you’re not broken.
But your patterns? They are running the show.

And it’s time to take your power back.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start creating real, lasting change—this episode is your turning point.

What if the path you’ve been told to follow… was never meant for you in the first place?

In this week’s episode of ClaraTy in Action, I sit down with Nicholas Karpowich—entrepreneur, founder of Testimony Clothing, and yes… my son—for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually looks like to feel lost, mislabeled, and underestimated.

Nicholas grew up believing he was “behind,” “not smart,” and “failing” because he didn’t fit the traditional mold—school, college, career. But here’s the truth: he wasn’t failing… he just hadn’t found his lane yet.

And once he did? Everything changed.

This episode breaks down one of the biggest myths we’ve been sold: that success has a single, linear path. It doesn’t. Nicholas shares how discovering his passion flipped his confidence, his work ethic, and his entire trajectory—and how choosing his own direction made him unstoppable.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the “right” path… this conversation will challenge that thinking and give you permission to redefine success on your terms.

Because clarity doesn’t come from following someone else’s roadmap.
It comes from having the courage to create your own.

This episode will remind you:

• Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re searching
• The traditional path is a path, not the path
• When you find what drives you, everything changes
• You are not behind—you’re just on a different timeline

Bottom line: Stop chasing someone else’s version of success.
Start owning yours.

What if the reason you’re not getting the results you want… isn’t effort—but clarity?

In this solo episode of CLARATY in Action, I’m breaking down the CQ Framework (Clarity Quotient)—the foundation I use to help leaders, teams, and high performers move from overwhelmed and reactive… to focused, confident, and results-driven.

Inspired by the power of simple, no-fluff coaching (yes, think short, punchy, and straight to the point), this episode is all about giving you practical clarity you can actually use immediately.

Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more strategies.
You need more clarity on the right ones.

Inside this episode, I walk you through the core pillars of CQ, including how to:

• Get crystal clear on what actually matters (and stop wasting time on what doesn’t)
• Align your actions with real priorities—not just urgent tasks
• Build the confidence to execute without second-guessing
• Create momentum that leads to consistent, measurable results

Whether you’re leading a team, building a business, or trying to get out of your own way—this framework will help you see clearly, act intentionally, and perform at a higher level.

Because clarity isn’t a luxury.
It’s your competitive edge.

The Coach You Choose Will Cost You… or Change You.

Everyone says they want results.
More money. More clarity. More growth.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth—most people are either choosing the wrong coach… or avoiding one altogether.

And both are costing them more than they realize.

In this episode of Clarity in Action, I sit down with Pedro Stein of Purple Circle—someone who lives inside the world of coaching, growth, and transformation. Together, we pull back the curtain on what actually makes a coaching relationship powerful… and what quietly keeps people stuck.

This isn’t surface-level.
This is the real conversation.

We dive into how coaching businesses truly operate, what separates great coaches from the noise, and the kinds of conversations that don’t just sound good—but change lives.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Do I really need a coach?”
• “How do I know if they’re the right fit?”
• “What should I expect if I invest at that level?”

You’re about to get clear.

Because the truth is—
The right coach won’t just guide you…
They’ll challenge you, stretch you, and force you to see what you’ve been avoiding.

And that’s where everything shifts.

If you’re ready for honest insight, sharper clarity, and a new perspective on what it takes to grow—this episode is for you.
