    Send us Fan Mail

    “I was at that point in my life where I had finally found my freedom. Freedom from my disempowering stories. Freedom from my anxiety. Freedom from all the pains that every single human being on this planet has.” - Siri Lindley

    True transformation involves more than adopting surface-level practices; it requires a profound shift from within. By cultivating a mindset of joy and gratitude, developing self-awareness, and embracing our passions, we can genuinely transform ourselves and radiate contagious positivity.

    In this episode, I’m honored to be joined by Siri Lindley, former #1-ranked triathlete in the world, a two-time world champion, and winner of twelve ITU World Cup races. Listening to Siri has opened my eyes to so many valuable lessons, such as vulnerability and willingness to share your stories of struggles, focusing on everything that's right versus everything that's wrong, and understanding that the pain and discomfort of leaning into something that doesn't feel true to you are so much less than the pain of staying where you are.

    Siri could not have stated it better when she dropped this gem: Every moment, every breath is this miracle, this gift. And oftentimes I could be in the midst of a stressful day, but all I have to do is put my hand on my heart and get present at the moment and think, “Wow, I'm alive! I get to live this life.” It’s a mindblowing mental shift that we all need to take to enjoy the possibilities and beauty that life has to offer.

    As we own this transformative journey, we become living embodiments of joy and gratitude, inspiring others and creating a life filled with authentic fulfillment.

    Listen to this episode and explore the power of embracing imperfection, finding connection through shared struggles, and discovering the beauty of limitless possibilities in our unique paths.

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • Success is not only about progress but also includes failure
    • How changing our narrative and giving ourselves a different story can tap into a resilient power
    • No one can fix our story for us; the work of changing it must be done internally.
    • How vulnerability allows for authentic connections
    • Storytelling can inspire others

    About Siri Lindley:

    Siri Lindley is a two-time world champion triathlete and winner of twelve ITU World Cup races. She retired as the #1-ranked triathlete in the world, a place she held for more than two years. Today, as the top female triathlon coach in the world, she’s guided Olympic medalists and Ironman champions to not only become better athletes but also better people.

  • Episode 12: Confidence and Leadership with Teresa Rand

    Send us Fan Mail

    Women are powerful.

    But we’re no superhero. We can't do it all. We shouldn't even feel like we have to be one in the first place. 

    Women now have the opportunity to earn degrees, pursue careers, take on leadership positions, and achieve their dreams. However, this recognition also comes with a new responsibility: the expectation to be everything to everyone and to do everything all at once. 

    But just like everyone else, we have great days and bad days at work at the same time that there is tension or chaos at home. We are allowed to feel and be tired. Let me reiterate: we can’t do it all and we shouldn’t force ourselves to do so.

    In the midst of all this chaos and pressure, we should tread the path with balance. It’s important to show ourselves some grace.

    So how can we foster that balance in us as women?

    My guest, Teresa Rand, shares with us her insight to this question. For Teresa, it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people who see you for your strengths and who lift you up. It’s also about listening to your gut, to not be afraid to take risks and make mistakes. 

    Teresa is a cheerleader for women and an advocate for women's empowerment. She recognizes the distance women have come toward workforce equality and how much further there is to go. Her life mission is to help women leaders climb the career ladder and achieve inclusive leadership in the workforce.

    Thoughts to Empower 

    • “Surround yourself with people who will lift you up." - Teresa Rand
    • "People can sometimes see us better than we can see ourselves." -  Teresa Rand
    • "When we don't add a little bit of risk, especially to our careers, we're not growing." - Becca Powers 
    • "I believe if we share the mistakes we've made and the lessons we've learned, we can help other people not have to make those same mistakes." - Teresa Rand

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • Women need to give themselves permission to take risks
    • Failure is not the end
    • Go with your gut
    • Compartmentalizing is detrimental to mental health
    • Confidence is the key to everything
    • It's okay to take advice from others
    • Trust yourself and your instincts

    About Teresa Rand:

    Teresa is passionate about helping leaders achieve their dreams of climbing the career ladder, earning their seat in the C-suite, and achieving inclusive leadership in the workforce. She believes that female leaders are responsible for reaching down the career ladder and helping other women advance in their careers. As a former CEO, Teresa managed up to $35 million and 1,000+ employees. Through public speaking and client coaching, she inspires women to be their best selves.

    Teresa is the founder of the Boss Lady Community and the Boss Lady Podcast, which focus on women’s empowerment, gender equality, and women’s issues.

  • Episode 11: Say It Out Loud with Vasavi Kumar

    Send us Fan Mail

    Speaking our dreams, thoughts and goals out loud gives them power and intention.

    We keep a lot to ourselves for the fear of failing or being judged. Or it could even be that we simply feel like we're not ready to share our aspirations with others.

    But keeping things bottled up inside of us - both the good and the bad - can often hinder our progress and prevent us from reaching our full potential.

    When we say something out loud, we bring it into the physical world and make it real. We make it tangible. By verbalizing our thoughts and goals, we make a commitment to ourselves to take action and work towards achieving them.

    This episode left me feeling incredibly inspired. Vasavi Kumar's courageous story about her struggles with bipolar disorder refreshed my perspective about seeking support and being vulnerable enough to be helped. In this episode, she also talks about how she discovered her own voice, tapped into her creative spirit, and helped others along the way—all because she learned how to say it out loud.

    Say it out loud and see the beauty of speaking things into existence, breaking barriers within, and bringing your own self-empowerment to light.

    Thoughts to Empower 

    • “We have many different personalities and parts, and each of those parts has a unique voice.” — Vasavi kumar
    • “We were not taught how to love ourselves. I don't think any of us are. We're taught how to look out for others, care about others, but not really taught how to love ourselves.” — Vasavi Kumar
    • “People think they know you, and then they think they have access to you.” —  Vasavi Kumar
    • “We all have these different aspects of ourselves, and we are also multifaceted. We have different desires. There are parts of ourselves that are wounded, and there are some parts that aren't and that are very vibrant and alive.” — Becca Powers

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • How we can tap into our inner potential
    • Why connection with ourselves is essential
    • Honoring the bad and good things in life is important
    • Learning to love ourselves
    • Knowing ourselves well helps us better connect with others
    • Depression can be a disconnection from the soul

    About Vasavi Kumar:

    Vasavi Kumar is often described as the "Queen of Saying It Out Loud." A first-generation Indian immigrant raised on Long Island, NY, Vasavi has relentlessly searched to find her own voice, access the freedom of her creative spirit, and help others along the way... out loud. When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she made it her life’s purpose to understand how her mind works, starting with making room to hear herself think. Her mission is to share everything—the good, bad, and ugly—in order to teach a more mindful, practical, and simple way of running every aspect of your life.

  • Episode 9: How Imposter Syndrome Keeps You Playing Small with Kim Meninger

    Send us Fan Mail

    It's quite challenging to have an insidious feeling that makes us doubt our abilities and worth.

    At times, we may find ourselves pondering, "Why do I feel like I don't belong?" or "Why am I not good enough even though I have accomplished something?" leading us to believe that our achievements are just from pure luck.

    Hey! It's common. That’s what you call Imposter Syndrome—many successful individuals have battled it at some point in their lives.

    So, how can we overcome imposter syndrome and start "playing bigger"?

    In this episode, Kim Meninger will share with us her journey of self-discovery, unveiling her keys to building unwavering confidence and reflecting on how to overcome imposter syndrome.

    • “In the workplace, we are striving for promotions, to lead projects, or to really show our skills. Most of it's centered on contribution, but imposter syndrome gets in the way of us producing our best results.” - Becca Powers
    • “We're not meant to compete with the guy from the other part of the business. We're there to compliment each other.” - Kim Meninger
    • “To be innovative and competitive, we need to be able to think differently and not just follow a prescribed set of rules.” - Kim Meninger
    • "You don't have to have it all figured out before you move. Move and build, it's okay." - Becca Powers

    • How Kim's story influenced her attention toward imposter syndrome and psychological safety
    • Combatting imposter syndrome
    • Why workplaces enhance the human experience potential
    • How innovation thrives on diversity of thought
    • Is workplace considered as a competitive arena?
    • Being loud and working fast does not guarantee better ideas and quality work

  • Episode 8: Tune In to Spirit and Awaken Your Inner Wisdom with Bill Philipps

    Send us Fan Mail

    We all have power within us. It’s there, just waiting to be unleashed.

    We’re like objects who remain at rest until a force is acted upon us. This force is guised as challenges that prompt us to move and realize our real, fullest potential. And although we’d like to avoid tragedies and difficulties as much as we can, aside from that it’s inevitable, it also allows us to scrutinize ourselves much deeper—to introspect and get to know ourselves in a more profound way, even to surrender to our own truths.

    Looking through yourself and finding your inner power will create astonishing outcomes!

    Trust Bill Philipps, who is a shining example of someone who has tapped into his power and surrendered to his own truth.

    Thoughts to Empower:

    • "If more people really owned their intuition instead of questioning it so much, we really would change the world." – Becca Powers
    • "We have such a hidden superpower to tap into. To feel and think of what we want to experience, and then to vibrate that energy outside of ourselves." – Bill Philipps
    • "When I trust the spirit and trust in the unfoldment, that's when the magic happens. That's where the healing and validation happen." – Bill Philipps

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • How Bill's winding journey led him to become a psychic medium
    • How can owning intuition impact the world
    • Innate spiritual connection for all
    • How the higher self, spirit guides, and our loved ones can nudge us
    • Learning how to surrender fears and doubts to fully trust your intuition
    • How  forgiving helps take the load off ourselves

  • Episode 7: Unveiling Your Inner Strengths and Talents with Stacey Shipman

    Send us Fan Mail

    Self-discovery is a journey that we all need to take, and yet so few of us actually do.

    And the truth is it can be difficult to see and appreciate the best things about us, let alone be confident with it because we can get overly critical about ourselves.

    But here’s another truth: each of us has strengths, skills, talents, and capabilities that we can cultivate.

    The question is: how can we unleash the best parts of us that are hidden deep within?

    My friend, Stacey Shipman, has valuable insights about this million-dollar question. In this episode, Stacey shares with us her empowering story of how she unleashed her best self to reach her full potential. This took her years of constantly shifting and evolving, of feeling foolish, unprepared, embarrassed, and unconfident despite having the credentials and the experience.

    Now, Stacey is determined to unleash the geniuses in all of us and to say that it’s okay to reveal your real self and uncover the best parts you might not know are hiding inside of you. Because who knows? It may be just what you need to shine and have opportunities come knocking at your door.

    Thoughts to Empower: 

    • “You have to be willing to experiment, explore, change directions, and rest when needed.” - Stacey Shipman
    • “We can take a rest when we need it. We can better express ourselves, what we need, our thoughts and ideas, and we can have better relationships with other people because we are grounded in who we are.”  - Stacey Shipman
    • “When we clear out all the clutter, there is a brightness to people, and you can see and feel it.” - Stacey Shipman

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • Stacey's stories, humor, and insights that can help drop behaviors that never felt natural
    • Overcoming the lack of confidence and skills
    • Harnessing that eagerness to achieve your desires
    • Nurturing a deep a connection with yourself
    • Being authentic can lead to more meaningful connections and better relationships
    • Having a higher sense of wellbeing through better connections with yourself and people around you 

    About Stacey Shipman:

    Stacey is an event host, facilitator, singer, and writer here to remove formal protocols stifling personalities and ideas. Because you can’t express yourself or your genius hiding behind: “I’m too busy,” data, perfectionism, PowerPoints, collaborators who get all the credit, or the belief you need more credentials. Plus, human connection is impossible when you are acting like a robot. Boring, bland, and basic are default settings – not the only settings. Through Stacey's stories, humor, and insights, you will drop learned behavior that never felt natural in the first place, step out of the conventional bubble, and engage clients, peers, prospects - anyone - with who you really are.

  • Episode 6: Visibility for Professional and Personal Growth with Susan Barber

    Send us Fan Mail

    It’s human nature to feel insecure and question our worth. In fact, not a day goes by where we are clouded with negative thoughts of unworthiness and not being enough.

    How can we prove ourselves worthy? Worthy not just of the job title or position we hold, but even the success we are enjoying in our careers.

    In a competitive environment like the workplace, there are times when we are afraid to speak our minds because when we do, our peers and colleagues might not understand, recognize or acknowledge our thoughts and actions.

    This is a sign of invisibility in the workplace that can lower your self-esteem.

    Remember: no one is perfect. We are all lacking in our own ways, and recognizing our flaws and imperfections is a brave first step towards becoming a better version of yourself. While it may seem simple or little, shifting your mindset can make a world of difference.

    That is why I am delighted to have Susan Barber with me in this episode. She shares her story: from being invisible in the workplace to finally becoming seen - and now a successful author and a podcast host. She is passionate about creating a visibility movement in the workplace to bring out people's skills to the fullest.

    Visibility is a work in progress. You might not see it in you now, but with the right support system, it would come out of you. And with people like Susan leading the way, the future looks bright for those who are ready to make their voices heard.  Who knows? You might also become one of the successful people who would share their story and inspire others someday!

    Thoughts to Empower:

    • “You don’t have to be like everybody else, and you can do it in small simple steps.” - Susan Barber
    • “With visibility comes the responsibility to lead and check in on people and make sure people are okay. You can't have visibility without psychological safety. You just can't.” - Susan Barber
    • “Start to look at yourself and the great things that you've already done and how you can use and show those off a bit more so that people can see you.” - Susan Barber

    Key Points From This Episode:

    • Susan’s backstory and how she came up with the idea for her work, “The Visibility Factor”
    • How her self-discovery helped her visibility at work and at home
    • How fulfillment comes from the acceptance of our uniqueness
    • Being exposed to and overcoming Imposter Syndrome
    • How to improve visibility in your space authentically
    • Handling introverts in a workplace as a leader
    • Importance of an inspiration to boost self-confidence

    I hate to say it, but I’ll say it. We live in a world where passion and creativity are often sidelined because tenacity in the workplace is rewarded instead. We’re so used to killing ourselves at work so we can stay ahead - or even just to keep afloat - and in the process, we neglect our inner child and are unable to tap into the ability to dream, imagine, build and express.

    This week, my good friend Kate Volmon joins me on the show and shares some sacred thoughts we should all keep in mind:

    We are all creative. We are all artists. We are all meant to create.

    So it is not a question of if, but how and when. As Kate shares, that creativity is inside all of us, ready to be unleashed for the world to witness. And this artistry can be in the form of a painting or digital art. It could be a song you’ve composed based on something you’ve experienced in the past. It could be a book chronicling some of your most insightful discoveries that so many others can learn from. Or it could even be a podcast like this that evokes a strong sense of calling to live a life of joy, freedom and peace.

    This episode is filled with Kate’s life-changing experiences and nuggets of wisdom about awakening the inner creatives within us. While igniting our creativity may not always come naturally, we need to tap into the elements that bring our inner creatives to life. Join us and be inspired to let your creativity guide you down the path to limitless joy and a deep sense of empowerment.
