Coaching Call

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Alyssa Sharp, Future Self Life and Business Coach, former six-figure corporate project manager, and founder of A. Sharp Coach.

What if the life you're working so hard to build is actually keeping you from the life you want to live?

Alyssa understands what it's like to have a successful corporate career while feeling trapped by the demands of the traditional 9 to 5. Today, she helps ambitious women move beyond burnout and create online businesses that provide greater freedom, purpose, and financial opportunity.

Her approach focuses on becoming your future self now rather than waiting for the perfect moment, more money, or someone else's permission.

We'll explore what it takes to leave behind a familiar career, develop the confidence to pursue entrepreneurship, and make decisions that support the life you actually want.

Because building a business isn't just about making money. It's about creating choices, owning your time, and defining success on your own terms.

Are you building the life you want, or simply maintaining the one you've become comfortable with?

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D., known as Ami, a scientist, storyteller, and writer who explores one of life's most personal questions: Who are we, really?

We spend our lives developing an identity, but how much of who we are comes from within, and how much is shaped by the expectations of others?

As a transgender woman, Ami brings her personal experience and scientific curiosity to conversations about gender, identity, self-perception, and the complexities of being human.

Through The Purplepaw Blog, her writing, and podcasting, she encourages people to examine identity with curiosity rather than assumptions.

We'll explore the relationship between science and personal experience, the challenges of overthinking, the importance of honest self-expression, and why understanding someone else's perspective doesn't require having the same experiences.

At the heart of this conversation is something that matters to all of us: learning to communicate, listen, and understand one another.

Because before we can truly connect with others, we need to understand who we are.

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Andi Buerger, international bestselling author, speaker, and advocate whose fight against human trafficking began with her own survival.

Andi endured 17 years of child sex trafficking and abuse by family members. Rather than allowing that history to silence her, she has dedicated her life to protecting vulnerable young people and making sure survivors are heard.

In 2008, she founded Beulah’s Place, which spent 14 years providing shelter and resources to at-risk youth and helped more than 300 young people. She later founded Voices Against Trafficking, an organization advocating for victims of trafficking and exploitation.

Through her books, A Fragile Thread of Hope and Voices Against Trafficking: Courage Is Contagious, and her Voices of Courage magazine, Andi continues to raise awareness and recognize people defending human rights.

We'll discuss what it takes to reclaim your voice, why protecting children requires action rather than awareness alone, and how one person's courage can inspire others to stand up.

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Andra Davidson, transformational coach, speaker, and mentor who helps individuals and organizations turn adversity into growth and purposeful leadership.

What separates those who allow challenges to defeat them from those who use those same challenges to become stronger?

Andra believes resilience isn't simply about surviving difficult circumstances. It's about recognizing your strength, changing your perspective, and making intentional decisions that move you forward.

With experience in leadership development, emotional intelligence, and personal transformation, Andra brings a compassionate but straightforward approach to helping people break through limitations and navigate change.

We'll explore how to develop mental toughness without losing compassion, lead effectively during uncertainty, and recognize when the biggest obstacle standing in your way might be your own thinking.

We'll also discuss why emotional intelligence matters in leadership, how to build meaningful connections, and what it takes to stay aligned with your values when life doesn't go according to plan.

Because adversity will test you. The question is what you choose to do with it.

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Andy Paige, actress, television personality, bestselling author, and beauty, image, and lifestyle expert who has built a career knowing how to capture attention, connect with people, and leave a lasting impression.

What makes someone unforgettable? Is it how they look, how they speak, the confidence they project, or the way they make others feel?

Andy has spent years mastering all of it. From portraying Pearl on ABC's General Hospital to appearing on QVC and national television, she understands that making an impression is one thing, but making a connection is something entirely different.

As the author of the international bestseller STYLE ON A SHOESTRING, Andy earned the nickname "Budget Bombshell" by showing people that looking and feeling confident doesn't have to come with a big price tag. She also brings humor and insight to modern relationships through her podcast, The Dating Lab with the Hillbilly Yenta.

We'll explore what it takes to command attention, communicate with authenticity, build a memorable personal brand, and develop the confidence to show up as yourself.

Because whether you're on television, standing on a stage, building a business, or meeting someone for the first time, how you show up matters.

The Price of Success | Coaching Call

On this episode of Coaching Call, Sifu Rafael welcomes Anita Sarda, entrepreneur, international speaker, author, actor, and black belt martial artist who discovered that a six-figure salary doesn't always mean a fulfilling life.

Anita started working at 16, earned her MBA, and climbed the corporate ladder at a Fortune 50 company. She was being prepared for an executive role, but behind the success were long hours, burnout, and the feeling that something was missing. Then a painful divorce forced her to rethink what she wanted from life.

What started as a LegalShield side business became a new direction. Anita left corporate life, built her own business, and has since trained more than 50,000 people.

We'll talk about knowing when success is costing too much, finding the courage to change direction, and what it really takes to move from employee to entrepreneur. And with both of us coming from martial arts, you know discipline and mindset will be part of the conversation.

What does success mean if you're too exhausted to enjoy it?
