“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He will be joining me in this episode to share his story of how he discovered that trusting in himself and listening to his inner voice is the way to create a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.
How about you? Are you ready to surrender to your truth, believe in yourself, and unleash your full potential?

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.

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.

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!

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.
