When life gets heavy, creativity can become a lifeline. In this heartfelt conversation, writer and blogger Cathelina Duvert shares how living with depression shaped her creative journey and how storytelling became a path toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

This week’s bonus question comes from my conversation with Elizabeth De Sevo - It's Never Too Late, The Power of Intention and Reinvention. I ask every guest this same question because the answers are always powerful and deeply personal.

What do you do when you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom?

In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Johnson, a wife, mother, and nurse who spent years in the high-pressure world of emergency rooms before facing her own season of burnout. Through that journey, she discovered the power of resilience, community, and trusting her intuition to rebuild her life with purpose.

We talk about:
- The moment that helped her rise after hitting rock bottom
- How mindset shifts can spark resilience in tough seasons
- Why sharing your story is a form of leadership
- The role of "community" in finding strength again

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or creative, this conversation will remind you that setbacks don’t define you; they can be the start of a powerful comeback.

What if resilience isn’t about “bouncing back,” but about “bouncing forward”? In this episode, I sit down with Elizabeth De Sevo, writer, coach, and author of Choose Your MOMents.

Elizabeth shares how the loss of her mother reshaped her perspective on life, why reinvention at midlife is possible, and how resilience can become fertile ground for growth. We explore simple, everyday practices that help us move through grief, change, and challenges with intention, and step into a stronger, wiser version of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt like life knocked you down, this conversation will remind you: you don’t have to go back to who you were. You can choose to grow forward.

Ever feel like you’re giving so much of yourself to everyone else that you’ve forgotten who you are?

• Practical ways to rebuild trust with yourself

• Reclaiming your inner glow and leading unapologetically

This conversation is for anyone ready to stop chasing approval and start living with purpose, confidence, and impact.

This week’s bonus question comes from my conversation with Dr. Julie Pham. I ask every guest this same question because the answers are always powerful and deeply personal.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Pham to explore how curiosity can transform the way we lead, connect, and navigate change. Julie is the creator of The 7 Forms of Respect, a bestselling framework that challenges us to rethink what respect really means and how it shows up in our relationships and leadership.

We talk about the role curiosity plays in building confidence, doing what Julie calls a “personal passiveness audit,” and how women, especially in their 40s and 50s can use curiosity as a daily practice to embrace reinvention and step into new seasons of life.

This conversation is about more than leadership; it’s about shifting the way we see ourselves, each other, and the possibilities around us.
