Overview

There are people in this world who glow happily.  Their smile, their demeanor, and their overall character exude happiness.  They bring light, integrity, and a sense of class and style to the world. They’re fun and they are the personification of what it means to “love life” that has nothing to do with the material things that sometimes weigh us down. 

Amy Cattaneo helps women find joy and happiness in their lives while working on achieving their goals. She accomplishes this through private coaching and her signature HappinessCourse.

She also helps women live happier and healthier lives through essential oils.  Amy and her husband Ray have so owned and operated their personal training studio, Infinity Personal Training for the past 10 years. 

They have helped transform 100s of lives through training, nutrition coaching, and genetic testing. Amy has helped 1,000s of people through life coaching,  nutrition coaching, and essential oil education. Her mission is to help as many people as she can to live happy fulfilled lives. Amy is also the proud mama to two beautiful furbabies and has been with her amazing husband for over 22 years. 

Today, Jessica and Amy take a deep dive into what happiness means and how it eludes most of the population. Amy talks about how she gets herself “unstuck” when she feels she gets stuck in a rut of negativity. Jessica shares something that is the magic to unlocking a true friendship with her.

Oprah, Harrison Ford, Jimi Hendrix, and Jeff Bezos. These are examples of people who found success later in life by doing what they love. At the age of 42 Don Donneruno left his well-paying corporate position to become a Cake Designer and by the age of 45 he finally got noticed. I’m excited for you to hear his amazing story.

Don Donneruno is a custom cake designer, but some have been known to call him a conceptual engineer. His Cakes have a look and attitude all their own. Don draws upon an eclectic sphere of influence such as Salvador Dali, Muhammed Ali, Evel Knievel, Jack Kirby, Anthony Bourdain, Peter Criss, Nas, Pablo Picasso, Todd Mcfarlane, and an endless list of others. The primary creative force in his work is his experiences growing up in New York City. Taking the 7 train from Flushing Queens to Manhattan as a teenager was a crash course in pop culture, and he absorbed it all. His exposure to and participation in the graffiti movement of the early 80s laid the groundwork for the foundation of what would become his style. 

         He now brings that energy and attitude to his cake designing and fabricating. To him, every cake is like a great song. Some are "Back in Black" and some are "Purple Rain", depending on the mood that is trying to be achieved.

Josh Aryeh is 36 years old and resides in Great Neck, as well as Manhattan NY.

Growing up from nothing Josh wanted to create an impact in his community by giving back to those who might not have the opportunity to enjoy the little things in life. Today he shares his story with Jessica about what motivated him to utilize the connections he had to bring smiles.

Happy Holidays! Today I am remembering a self driven woman who wasn’t scared to be a badass and take control of her life. Kirstin is a hustling entrepreneur who has given women another perspective to show them that they can achieve their dreams if they stay focused. 

Sometimes, the things we plan don’t intersect with the visions we had for our futures. There is a mindset we get trapped in that allows us to feel stuck. Trapped.  We’ve taken on multiple responsibilities that leave us feeling like we cannot set goals because we don’t have enough time. Time is an excuse people use quite often or the lack of motivation to continue the pursuit of their intended journeys.  Most never break through that mindset and find time to do something that makes them happy.       

It took Kirstin Smith almost breaking down before she broke through to become the bad ass woman she was intended to be.  Kirstin Smith is a Mother of 4 children, Best-selling author of the book, “Confessions of an Unhappy Housewife,” and Founder of Kirstin Smith Fitness. Kirstin is driven with a mission to exclusively help women discover happiness they want out of life while helping them attain it.  

In this episode Kirstin shares some dark moments that she overcame with her happiness and marriage. Defying the adversity of juggling responsibilities of helping her husband with his business, raising four children (meanwhile homeschooling them), but also founding her business and writing a best-selling book. Jessica and Kirstin discuss more in detail on how your time management is not an excuse. Kirstin talks about the process it took for her to finally find happiness and be in the mindset that she is in today.   

What You’ll Learn: 

• Why 2019 was the lowest point in Kirstins marriage 
• Learn about Kirstins tribe built to help women 
• What adjustments you should make to become more disciplined with your time
• How changing your mindset isn’t as daunting as it seems   
• The core values Kirstin and her husband created   
• Why people set boundaries in their business and not their personal life
• When making a change understand the awareness it took   
• Why Kirstin only works with women  
• Kirstin’s journey into fitness and what it means to her
