As entrepreneurs, we spend so much time growing our mindset, our strategy, and our skills — but the truth is, none of it works without a regulated nervous system and a body that can keep up.

Your vagus nerve, your stress levels, your energy, your sleep, your focus, and even visceral fat all play a massive role in how you show up in your business.

If you’re curious about the plant-based, one-ingredient daily tincture I use to support my own health, stress, clarity, and performance — I made a simple page that walks you through what it is and why it’s been such a game-changer for me.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Kim shares the science behind her method: the average person has 60,000 thoughts daily—75% of which are repetitive or negative. She explains how her six journal prompts were born to help rewire these thought patterns in just five minutes a day.

[00:04:00] Kelley introduces Kim’s impressive journey from real estate CEO to coach, author, and founder of For the Love Of. Kim recounts her forced slowdown after a skiing accident, which became the turning point that led her to reassess her life and career.

[00:08:00] Kim discusses how “For the Love Of” evolved beyond coaching into a philosophy for helping people fill in their own blanks—be it for the love of family, business, or personal growth.

[00:12:00] She dives into the mindset shifts required to leave a successful career for entrepreneurship, including the importance of spousal support, defining your word of the year, and committing to daily mindset work.

[00:16:00] Kim explains how she leaned into journaling, initially resistant but eventually finding it transformative. She highlights how accountability, like sharing journal entries with a friend, can strengthen the habit.

[00:21:00] Kim shares how her friend Cindy, who’s battling ALS, became an inspiration. Despite her challenges, Cindy participates in daily journaling, showing that mindset work is accessible to everyone.

[00:25:00] She outlines her six journal prompts—simple yet powerful questions to help people shift their focus, release negativity, and cultivate gratitude and action daily.

[00:30:00] Kelley and Kim discuss how slowing down reveals hidden anxiety. Kim urges listeners to find calm through small daily changes instead of waiting for a forced slowdown due to crisis.

[00:35:00] Kim introduces her PRP Model: Perception, Reality, Potential. She explains how journaling helps change your perception, influencing how you act and ultimately who you become.

[00:40:00] Kim defines success as the ongoing feeling of engagement, joy, and confidence from living authentically. Her advice for listeners: choose one tiny action this week to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

In this episode, we dive deep into the real-world challenges and profound rewards of leadership.

I’m joined by Jonathan Bennett—Executive Advisor, Professional Mentor, and Strategist—who helps leaders find clarity, confidence, and purpose amid the pressures of high-stakes decision-making. Jonathan shares insights from his own journey: from being an executive in a large hospital system, to founding and scaling a successful management consulting firm, to ultimately creating an advisory practice focused on supporting the people behind the roles.

We talk about navigating mergers and acquisitions, building psychologically safe cultures, knowing when you need an advisor versus a coach, and how leaders can carry the weight of responsibility without losing themselves in the process. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone in a leadership role—or aspiring to step into one—who wants to lead with integrity and make a meaningful impact.

Jonathan Bennett has worked with hundreds of organizations and leaders around the world. He brings a blend of deep listening, strategic thinking, and honest insight to his work with founders, CEOs, and C-suite leaders.

He’s also the author of seven literary books and a passionate advocate for inclusive, ethical leadership. Based in Ontario, Canada, Jonathan’s mission is to help leaders thrive while staying true to who they are.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Jonathon opens with a powerful reminder: Celebrate how far you’ve come. Entrepreneurship is tough, and hitting a dry spot doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it just means it’s time to adjust your approach.

[00:04:00] Kelley introduces Jonathon, an executive coach, advisor, author, and seasoned leader with experience across urban, rural, and First Nations communities. He’s passionate about helping leaders tackle tough organizational obstacles.

[00:09:00] Jonathon shares how starting his career close to CEOs shaped his understanding of leadership. Early exposure to boardroom dynamics taught him how high-stakes decisions are made—and communicated.

[00:13:00] They discuss the biggest challenge for leaders: what got you here won’t get you there. Jonathon stresses the importance of learning to delegate and letting go of the “hero” mindset.

[00:18:00] Kelley and Jonathon dive into practical delegation. It’s not about dumping tasks—it’s about creating agreements and accountability so people take ownership and grow.

[00:23:00] On inner pressures: Jonathon explains how leaders carry invisible weight. It’s isolating because there’s often no safe place to share doubts without scaring boards, investors, or teams.

[00:28:00] Advice for leaders on the brink of burnout: schedule intentional reflection time, plan vacations proactively, and stay curious to keep inspiration flowing.

[00:33:00] Jonathon discusses staying connected to purpose and values. For him, true leadership means making decisions that align with your ethical compass—even when it’s hard to walk away from money or clients.

[00:38:00] They talk about impostor syndrome. Jonathon shares that even top CEOs experience self-doubt. Vulnerability and being willing to say “I don’t know” is actually a powerful leadership trait.

[00:43:00] Jonathon’s call to action: Build your own personal board of directors. Surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth and support your journey. Leadership is hard—but you don’t have to do it alone.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to approach mental health from a soul-centered perspective—and why traditional models might be ready for an upgrade.

I’m joined by Steven, a mental health entrepreneur, licensed psychotherapist, and creator of Spiritual Workout: Mental Health For Your Soul. Steven shares his fascinating journey from corporate life to clinical practice, and how he’s now building a low-tech, high-touch counseling model designed to reach underserved communities at scale.

We explore grief, conscious living, and why mental health needs to be both practical and spiritual to help people truly thrive. Whether you’re navigating personal growth, healing, or entrepreneurship, this conversation offers powerful insights into mental health, soul work, and creating meaningful change.

Steven began his career as a self-described “corporate hack” before reinventing himself as a psychotherapist and ultimately founding Spiritual Workout. He’s passionate about democratizing mental health care and creating innovative solutions for healing and transformation.

Steven is the author of An Extra Year: Grief and Loss in the New Age and writes The Conscious Politics Op-Ed on Substack. He lives in the mountains of Southern California, balancing clinical work with writing and visionary entrepreneurship.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Steven shares how a personal financial crisis upended his life just as he was launching his business. Walking home in New York, he felt an unfamiliar sense of unhappiness—and realized he had to surrender completely and trust only decisions from his heart, not his head.

[00:05:00] He explains leaving a successful psychotherapy practice because he was bored repeating the same conversations. Instead, he created Spiritual Workout, bringing powerful conversations from private sessions into group settings to benefit more people.

[00:09:00] Steven shares the 15 core concepts of Spiritual Workout—from “Be Compassionate” and “Beliefs Matter” to “We Belong to the Planet.” These principles guide clients through personal transformation.

[00:13:00] Kelley asks how adversity shaped Steven’s purpose. He describes losing his house, money, and community during the 2008 financial crisis—and how his spiritual practice kept him grounded through a 12-year stretch of poverty.

[00:18:00] Steven discusses the role of taking responsibility and examining core beliefs like “life is a struggle” or “I can’t have what I want.” He worked relentlessly to transform beliefs that no longer served him.

[00:23:00] He emphasizes the Law of Attraction as a daily practice. Everything we experience has already been created by past thoughts, so focusing on what we want is essential for shifting reality.

[00:28:00] Guest Jody Crawford joins the episode, sharing her transition from teaching to entrepreneurship. She speaks about raising her prices and the inner conflict between valuing herself and fearing what clients can afford.

[00:33:00] Steven guides Jody through the Spiritual Workout process: getting clear on intentions, identifying limiting beliefs, and systematically transforming those beliefs into empowering ones using techniques like EFT tapping.

[00:40:00] Kelley asks Steven how his definition of success has changed. For Steven, success now means feeling happy, aligned, connected, and living with joy rather than chasing external markers like money or titles.

[00:45:00] Steven’s advice for listeners: get present, listen to inspiration, get clear about what you want, and examine your beliefs. Living intentionally and staying aligned are the keys to creating the life you desire.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to truly design a freedom-based lifestyle through entrepreneurship.

I’m joined by Patrick Baum—a global entrepreneur, social media business builder, and mentor who’s all about helping others break free from limitations and create lives they genuinely love. Patrick shares his journey of building a business online, how travel and family fuel his purpose, and why belief and consistency are the foundation of long-term success. Also why adopting the mindset of playing the long game in business is so important for sustainable success.

If you’ve ever dreamed of creating more time, freedom, and fulfillment through business, this is the episode for you.

Transcript

[00:00] Patrick opens with a message on how distraction robs us of progress and clarity. The long game begins with eliminating noise.

[05:00] You don’t need to "try"—you need to decide. Patrick talks about how success is a result of commitment, not experimentation.

[10:00] When choosing a path, don't just focus on the income—ask yourself if you'd want their life. A long game requires alignment.

[15:00] Patrick shares how he left the health club industry to pursue something bigger—driven by fatherhood, freedom, and service.

[20:00] "For things to change, I have to change." We dive into the mindset shift required to build something sustainable.

[25:00] Inspired by elite performers, Patrick talks about building routines that create space for intentional work and deep focus.

[30:00] Consistency beats intensity. He discusses how small daily habits create real long-term results across every area of life.

[35:00] Patrick’s quadrant system helps him stay aligned in health, wealth, relationships, and spiritual growth.

[40:00] If you’re patient, it’s likely because you’re clear on your purpose. Patrick encourages listeners to root themselves in their why.

[45:00] Being uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you’re growing. Entrepreneurship isn’t hard; it’s unfamiliar.

In this episode, we explore what real success looks like—and how to build it from the inside out.

I’m joined by Diana Rader Zisselman, an international entrepreneur, speaker, and mentor with a background in psychology, tech, and global business. From leading healthcare teams to building a top-tier lifestyle brand, Diana shares the principles that have helped her—and others—create lives filled with purpose and growth.

Transcript

[00:00:00] Diana shares how success is a cycle: you set a goal, take action, face failure, recommit, and grow. The key? Take action even when belief is missing—belief is built through motion.

[00:04:30] Kelley introduces Diana’s legacy—she’s a global entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, and co-founder of a top-performing Nu Skin business alongside her husband, Jeff.

[00:09:00] Diana talks about defining success on your own terms and aligning daily choices with your long-term vision. She emphasizes legacy-building as a daily commitment, not just an end result.

[00:13:30] How to build belief: keep promises to yourself, acknowledge your past wins, and use daily practices to stay grounded. Small wins fuel momentum.

[00:18:00] They discuss the connection between personal integrity and business leadership. Diana believes your internal world will reflect in your external success.

[00:23:00] Diana opens up about her growth as a speaker—how she went from anxious and awkward to empowered by simply showing up and practicing through discomfort.

[00:27:30] She reflects on her husband's cancer journey and the impact it had on her perspective—choosing presence, gratitude, and emotional balance through chaos.

[00:32:00] Empathy and likability as leadership traits—Diana emphasizes that people follow people they trust and like, especially in direct sales and influence-based business models.

[00:36:30] Diana and Kelley talk about redefining “balance” and letting go of perfectionism. Life and business are both about progress, not perfection.

[00:40:00] Final thoughts: Diana shares her passion for possibly launching a coaching program around healing and resilience. She encourages listeners to live intentionally and “write out” the legacy they want.

In this episode, we explore what it really takes to step into your power, shift your energy, and grow a business that’s deeply aligned with your purpose.

I’m joined by Stevie Marie—founder of The Redesigned Empire, a coaching and marketing company rooted in transformation, alignment, and unapologetic leadership. She guides entrepreneurs in unlocking possibility and power through a blend of coaching, community, and energetic recalibration.

We talk about dismantling limiting beliefs, attracting dream clients without the hustle, and building a business that feels as good as it looks. Whether you're in the midst of a pivot or ready to rise into your next-level identity, this episode offers a fresh, soul-centered take on entrepreneurship, self-trust, and legacy.

Stevie is known for helping purpose-driven leaders stop playing small, start showing up fully, and create impact from a place of alignment. Her work combines deep mindset shifts with intuitive strategy and community-powered support to help entrepreneurs build brands that reflect who they truly are.

Transcript

[00:00] Stevie shares her definition of entrepreneurship as spiritual elevation. Growth in business directly mirrors personal growth. Her motto: evolve yourself, and your business will follow.

[02:45] Discusses the importance of authenticity, self-trust, and vulnerability in creating magnetism and success. It's not just about strategy—it’s about energy.

[05:30] She explains how many women unintentionally turn their business into a burden instead of viewing it as a gift and vehicle for creativity, healing, and transformation.

[08:40] Self-worth is key. Pain and challenges are part of the journey. They’re not permanent—they’re opportunities for growth and reflection.

[11:15] Stevie breaks down the difference between believing you're capable and believing you deserve success. These are two distinct yet critical aspects of developing self-worth.

[13:10] Talks about being a “high-value woman” and how embracing your feminine energy is a leadership strength. Book recommendation: Why Men Love Bitches.

[17:30] The nervous system matters! Feeling good (not just doing good) is essential to women’s productivity and creativity. Regulating your nervous system opens you to abundance.

[23:50] Entrepreneurship is like driving a car: trust the process, detours will come, but keep your intention locked in. The journey won’t be linear, but you’ll get there.

[28:00] Discipline over motivation. Trusting the body and environment is key. Women should lead in alignment with their cycle, energy, and creativity.

[35:30] Stevie emphasizes environment, asking for help, and collaboration. True success lies in confidence, conviction, and knowing that you are worthy.

I’m joined by David Gilks, a chartered herbalist, biokinesiologist, and former Medical Exercise Program Director with 30+ years of experience in the fields of natural medicine, neuroscience, and behavioral change. David brings a rare blend of ancient wisdom and modern science to the table as we unpack the one thing that truly changes everything—our capacity to integrate what we know into what we do.

We explore the intersection of spirituality, cultural neuroscience, and self-leadership. David shares why so many high performers struggle with deep change, how emotional regulation affects decision-making, and what practices can reconnect us to our body’s innate intelligence.

If you're ready to shift from information overload to embodied transformation, this conversation is for you.

He's the author of From Knowing Better to Doing Better: The One Thing That Changes Everything, which explores the intersection of neuroscience and spirituality. He currently develops programs and coaches high-achieving clients through the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle platform.

David is also a father, grandfather, and nationally ranked natural bodybuilder. He is currently studying neuroscience at Duke University, continuing his lifelong pursuit of understanding the mind-body-spirit connection.

Transcript

[00:01:00] David introduces the concept of "the one thing"—being grounded and core-centered physically, emotionally, and psychologically. He explores what alignment truly means beyond social media buzzwords.

[00:04:00] Through his background in orthopedics and athletics, David explains how focusing on core strength (physically and mentally) solves many surface-level problems. Alignment is a full-body, full-life conversation.

[00:07:00] He shares how character traits are the emotional and psychological equivalent of physical core strength. Citing Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, David shows that our internal virtues must be in sight to face life’s challenges.

[00:10:00] David prompts listeners to ask: What are the top 2–3 character traits I need to move forward in life? He explains that change doesn’t start with action, but with being—the foundation of true transformation.

[00:13:00] He shares his own three chosen character traits: truth, courage, and compassion—and explains how each one shapes behavior, focus, and emotional resilience.

[00:17:00] David talks about congruency between physical and emotional core strength. Without alignment in both, we create imbalance in our health, career, or relationships.

[00:23:00] Why do people stay stuck in “knowing better” and struggle to shift into “doing better”? Because doing requires behavioral change, consistency, and often, sacrifice—things our nervous system resists.

[00:27:00] He unpacks the idea of “not feeling like yourself,” explaining how emotional memories can hijack our behavior. Awareness of this allows for better decision-making and alignment.

[00:31:00] David breaks down the idea of congruency: it’s hyper-specific. Just like athletes train their physical core daily, we must also train our character consistently to stay grounded.

[00:36:00] To close, he shares a powerful journaling practice: identify your top character traits, define what they mean, and revisit your goals through that lens. You'll uncover what you truly want—and why.

I’m joined by Victoria Renaissance—brand strategist and Instagram content expert—who helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs turn their brilliance into bold, one-of-a-kind brands. We dive into the mindset blocks that keep people from showing up online, what makes content actually stick, and how to attract dream clients through authenticity, not performance.

Whether you’re rebuilding your audience or refining your message, this conversation is filled with real talk and actionable insights.

Victoria helps coaches, creatives, and mission-driven experts turn their genius into standout brands that feel aligned and effortless to show up for. With deep expertise in positioning, messaging, and Instagram content strategy, she’s known for helping clients create content they love—and that lands.

If you’re curious about the plant-based, one-ingredient daily tincture I use to support my own health, stress, clarity, and performance — I made a simple page that walks you through what it is and why it’s been such a game-changer for me.

Transcript

[00:01:00] Victoria defines brand strategy not as your logo or colors—but as the full emotional and strategic foundation that influences how you position yourself, communicate your message, and become the obvious choice to your ideal client.

[00:03:00] She shares her story of burnout in the medical field, how that led her into entrepreneurship, and how trial and error pushed her to discover brand strategy as the missing piece.

[00:06:00] Victoria explains the architecture of brand strategy—positioning, messaging, emotional connection, and authority-building—and how it drives all marketing efforts.

[00:09:00] She offers prompts to clarify your brand: Why are you the only option for your client? What enemy belief or outdated method are you replacing? What is your unique perspective?

[00:12:00] If you're struggling to communicate your brilliance online, she says it’s because you're missing the foundational pieces. Start with deeply understanding your client’s specific symptoms and desires.

[00:17:00] She stresses that emotional connection is the key differentiator. It’s not about going viral—it’s about building resonance, trust, and loyalty with the right people.

[00:22:00] Her Instagram tip? Don't chase trends—create content as a natural extension of your brand clarity. Strategy comes from knowing who you're talking to and showing up authentically.

[00:26:00] The “secret sauce” to converting content into paying clients? Certainty. Certainty in who you help, why you're the best fit, and how you get results. That energy moves people.

[00:29:00] Victoria outlines signs you might need a rebrand: if your content exhausts you, you're attracting the wrong leads, or you feel disconnected from your message.

[00:35:00] Final takeaway: Always speak to your top-tier client. Even your freebie or low-ticket offer should build trust and signal transformation, not cater to those shopping on price.

In this episode, we dive into what it takes to start and grow a mission-led business with no prior entrepreneurial experience. I am joined by the Waples sisters, co-founders of RESTOR, a thriving medical aesthetics and functional medicine brand. We explore how they reinvented themselves, built confidence through bold pivots, and turned a powerful mission into a fast-growing business. Their belief that beauty is health shines through, along with a deeply empowering message: every woman deserves the choice to look, feel, and live exactly as she desires. This is a rich conversation on women's empowerment in business, health, beauty and self.

Dr. Flora Waples, MD holds degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry from the University of Chicago, and attended medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Transcript

[00:01:00] Flora shares life-changing advice from her medical mentor: There’s never a good time. Just do it. A lesson that applies to everything from starting a family to launching a business.

[00:04:00] The sisters talk about leaving prestigious careers in law and medicine to start Restor. Their "why" was to create greater impact—beyond the limits of one-on-one work.

[00:07:00] Dominique reframes aesthetics as female empowerment, not vanity. Helping women feel like the best version of themselves is at the core of their mission.

[00:10:00] They discuss how confidence is built by owning your choices—from fuller lips to hormone therapy—and doing it for yourself, not for anyone else.

[00:14:00] Restor was founded during back-to-back pregnancies, emphasizing that entrepreneurship is never convenient—and you do it anyway.

[00:18:00] Flora and Dominique share the truth: there’s no perfect time to start anything. “Life is happening. Do it anyway.”

[00:22:00] Flora opens up about what makes her successful: “I’m not smarter than anyone—I just don’t quit.” Grit outpaces talent every time.

[00:26:00] They challenge the idea that women must choose between motherhood and business. You can have both—it’s hard, but possible.

[00:30:00] Scaling their business required letting go of ego and learning to trust a team. “If you understand it, you can teach it.”

[00:37:00] The most rewarding part of their business? Seeing their team thrive and patients' lives change. Their leadership has built not only a business—but a movement.

In this episode, we dive into the entrepreneurial journey of a second-generation business builder. Inspired by the financial struggles he witnessed at home, he pursued a career in accounting and later launched a successful bookkeeping firm for construction businesses in Canada. He shares lessons learned from rapid startup growth, the importance of accurate financials, and how those insights led to his current venture: building AI-powered error detection software for bookkeepers. This candid conversation is full of valuable insights for any entrepreneur navigating finance, hiring, and finding product-market fit.

Leeroy Beeby is from South Africa, living in Toronto, Canada. He is a Qualified Chartered Accountant, Entrepreneur and Businessman, and Co-Founder of Check The Level, your automated bookkeeping assistant.

Transcript

[00:00] Leeroy shares how growing up in an entrepreneurial household in South Africa shaped his passion for business and accounting, particularly after witnessing his parents' struggles with finances.

[02:30] He details his journey from working in Bermuda to moving to Toronto, studying at the University of Toronto, and being introduced to the local startup ecosystem.

[04:45] The choice to target construction companies stemmed from personal connections and research that revealed a high failure rate in the industry—largely due to poor financial tracking.

[07:30] Leeroy explains how he and his co-founder developed a tool to help construction companies with job costing and cash flow by offering better bookkeeping.

[10:15] After experiencing rapid growth with a bookkeeping firm, Leeroy identified a new opportunity—building an “error detection assistant” for QuickBooks that flags mistakes and boosts financial accuracy.

[13:20] He shares candidly about the stress and lessons learned from building a 7-figure business with 20 employees in just 18 months—and how it influenced his move toward a more scalable model.

[17:00] Advice for entrepreneurs: Know your numbers, use AI tools for basic financial understanding, and don’t try to do it all—get a good bookkeeper and understand the basics of your P&L and balance sheet.

[22:00] Leeroy outlines common errors like inconsistent tax coding, incorrect invoice dates, and a lack of financial review, which his tool helps identify.

[27:00] He shares a story of how his software helped improve team training and performance in bookkeeping firms, creating better communication and feedback culture.

[35:00] Leeroy emphasizes learning outside of your comfort zone, always seeking feedback, and building a business that aligns with your long-term vision and lifestyle.
