    Transcript

    [00:00:00] Steven shares his method for overcoming overwhelm: doing a "mind dump" by writing problems on paper and listing potential solutions. He emphasizes the importance of taking action to gain clarity.

    [00:03:29] Kelley introduces Steven Roddy, highlighting his success as the founder of Pageant Planet, co-founder of Roddy Med Spa, and his incredible entrepreneurial journey, including once owning a professional football team at 23.

    [00:06:43] Steven tells the story of how he bought an arena football team at age 23, starting with a cash advance on a credit card and sheer determination despite his modest circumstances.

    [00:10:14] He discusses testing his faith and pushing his limits to discover his potential. Steven shares how early failures taught him critical business lessons, including budgeting and managing people.

    [00:14:49] On discovering purpose: Steven explains how he reverse-engineered his dream lifestyle, focusing on outcomes like location, work schedule, and income before selecting his path.

    [00:19:40] Steven talks about navigating hardship and overwhelm. He emphasizes that hardships are inevitable, but clarity comes from action, not overthinking—“It’s hard to steer a parked car.”

    [00:23:50] He explains how he discovered his strengths (creativity, strategy, and communication) and why operating within those strengths energizes him and aligns with his purpose.

    [00:26:52] Steven warns about chasing money and shares his mentor’s wisdom: “If you chase purpose, the money takes care of itself.” He highlights that money rarely comes on your timeline but often follows purpose.

    [00:37:53] He offers practical advice: shift your mindset to focus on serving one customer exceptionally well instead of obsessing over sales. Satisfied customers build long-term success.

    [00:45:15] Steven's final advice: “Think on paper.” Writing down thoughts, challenges, and potential solutions helps clear mental clutter, providing clarity and actionable steps to move forward.

    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 - 00:01:10]

    Paul discusses the power of intuition and why people often don’t act on their gut feelings due to self-doubt and overthinking. He emphasizes the internal conflict between intuition and the conscious mind.

    [00:01:11 - 00:03:13]

    Host Kelley introduces Paul, a life coach and certified Silva instructor, and shares their long-standing connection. Paul reflects on nurturing personal growth and learning from life’s abundant lessons.

    [00:03:14 - 00:07:00]

    Paul explains that most of our automatic behaviors are hardwired by age eight and how societal norms prevent individuals from thinking independently. He encourages listeners to ask themselves, “What do I want?” to cultivate self-awareness.

    [00:07:01 - 00:12:00]

    Paul shares an impactful story about seeking answers within, drawing an analogy of taking a car back to its source for repairs. He stresses the importance of looking inward rather than seeking external validation.

    [00:12:01 - 00:16:00]

    He discusses the significance of decision-making, recounting a story where he honored a handshake deal over a higher offer, teaching his children the value of integrity and trust.

    [00:16:01 - 00:20:00]

    Paul dives into the importance of self-worth and how beliefs formed in childhood, such as feeling unworthy or undeserving, impact adult life. He shares the transformative power of releasing these limiting beliefs.

    [00:20:01 - 00:24:00]

    Paul opens up about his personal story of overcoming childhood trauma and how reframing it allowed him to let go of the negative impact. He highlights that the story is not who you are—it’s an illusion you choose to carry or release.

    [00:24:01 - 00:30:00]

    He explores the difference between emotions (automatic responses) and feelings (interpretations), explaining how aligning feelings with goals attracts desired outcomes.

    [00:30:01 - 00:35:00]

    Paul introduces the Silva Method, a program aimed at enhancing intuition and decision-making by tapping into alpha and theta brainwave states. He shares how this practice leads to deeper self-understanding and alignment with purpose.

    [00:35:01 - 00:45:00]

    Paul emphasizes that the ultimate goal is to trust your inner voice and be in service to others. He shares that being aligned with one's true self not only creates peace but also draws higher-quality opportunities and relationships.

    Transcript

    [00:00:00 - 00:01:08]

    The host introduces Nico Seedsman, a former Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) veteran, founder of the Warrior Refit Foundation, and an advocate for stem cell therapy.

    [00:01:28 - 00:05:55]

    Nico talks about his early life, growing up in a family with law enforcement officers, and how he dealt with abuse from his stepfather. He explains how this background led him to the military, where emotional numbness became a survival tool.

    [00:05:55 - 00:10:00]

    Nico describes his initial military training, pushing himself beyond normal limits. He shares how his physical endurance, developed through trauma and emotional detachment, enabled him to excel in high-intensity training environments.

    [00:10:00 - 00:16:21]

    He reflects on his drive to be the best, fueled by childhood trauma and a desire to protect himself from further harm. Nico discusses SASR selection, an incredibly challenging process both physically and mentally, which eliminated many but became his gateway to a more intense military life.

    [00:16:21 - 00:24:00]

    Nico recounts his combat experiences, including serving in Afghanistan, leading missions, and witnessing violence and death. He describes how his mental and physical health began to deteriorate after repeated deployments.

    [00:24:00 - 00:32:00]

    Nico details his growing struggle with mental health—panic attacks, memory loss, depression, and exhaustion. He talks about his resistance to seeking help and how military culture emphasized toughness, making it difficult for him to admit vulnerability.

    [00:32:00 - 00:43:00]

    The turning point comes when Nico realizes he cannot continue to perform in the military. He decides to seek help and checks himself into a trauma recovery center, marking the beginning of his healing journey.

    [00:43:00 - 00:55:00]

    Nico explains how stem cell therapy became a key component in his recovery from severe physical and mental health issues, including chronic fatigue and autoimmune conditions. He shares how stem cells helped regenerate his body and gave him a second chance at life.

    [00:55:00 - 01:00:00]

    Nico discusses the role of emotional and spiritual healing in his recovery. He describes participating in ayahuasca ceremonies, which helped him process suppressed emotions and trauma, leading to profound personal transformation.

    [01:00:00 - 01:07:00]

    He continues reflecting on the importance of integrating mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Nico shares that it took tremendous courage to confront his trauma and take responsibility for his healing, a process that extended beyond physical recovery.

    [01:07:00 - 01:10:00]

    Nico transitions to discussing how stem cell therapy not only saved his life but also led him to establish Odin Stem Cells, a company dedicated to helping others heal through this innovative treatment. He also speaks about founding the Warrior Refit Foundation to support veterans.

    [01:10:00 - 01:15:00]

    Nico explains the science behind stem cells, breaking down how they regenerate damaged cells and can offer healing even in severe cases of physical deterioration. He shares that his passion now is to bring this technology to more people.

    [01:15:00 - 01:20:00]

    Reflecting on his military and personal journey, Nico highlights the sense of purpose he found in service. He emphasizes that helping others, particularly veterans struggling with their health, has brought him fulfillment and a new mission in life.

    [01:20:00 - 01:24:00]

    Nico shares his thoughts on courage—not just in combat but in choosing to seek help and change course when necessary. He underscores the significance of self-awareness and the bravery it takes to embrace personal healing.

    [01:24:00 - 01:27:00]

    The episode concludes with Nico's vision for the future, expanding his work in stem cell therapy and mental health. He emphasizes the importance of community, support systems, and staying on the path of growth and healing.

    Transcript

    [00:00:00] Joni talks about making peace with the inner critic, transforming it into a supportive voice rather than eliminating it.

    [00:01:19] Kelley introduces Joni, a veteran entrepreneur with 25+ years of experience, focused on helping women reclaim their full expression and inner wellness.

    [00:02:43] Joni explains how reclaiming oneself means reconnecting with our authentic inner selves, often suppressed by societal expectations.

    [00:06:58] Joni highlights how feeling unfulfilled, despite achievements, signals a need for inner work and personal alignment.

    [00:07:53] Joni shares her personal story of overcoming trauma, addiction, and self-loathing to eventually lead transformational events for women.

    [00:13:00] She discusses the inner critic’s negative impact on self-worth and suggests approaching it with curiosity and compassion instead of resistance.

    [00:17:49] Practical steps to address the inner critic include asking, "What do I really need?" and focusing on self-support instead of criticism.

    [00:21:21] Joni shares how being kinder to herself allowed her to take more risks, both personally and professionally.

    [00:26:15] Joni introduces the "Roots of Expansion," starting with inside-out vibrance, focusing on inner well-being to positively influence external outcomes.

    [00:30:21] She emphasizes the importance of healthy, flowing emotions and allowing emotions to guide and heal rather than suppressing them.

    [00:33:00] Joni talks about heartful relationships, encouraging open-heartedness to foster deeper connections and healing.

    [00:35:00] Joni promotes "splashy self-love," advocating for making self-care and self-love a priority to live authentically and fully.

    [00:37:29] Joni defines success as achieving balance across all areas of life, not just focusing on business, and living in alignment with personal values.

    [00:40:59] She advises entrepreneurs to focus on inner work, challenging societal beliefs, and embracing self-love to unleash their true potential.

    [00:44:27] Joni offers a five-minute "breath of insight" practice to connect with the self, fostering clarity and inner peace.

    [00:47:00] Kelley and Joni wrap up, discussing Joni’s upcoming events, retreats, and free inner clarity calls available to listeners.
