What if the thoughts holding you back aren’t the truth, but suggestions you’ve accepted and repeated over time?

In this episode, I sit down with Hall of Fame speaker, entertainer and peak performance expert Wayne Lee to explore how our subconscious beliefs shape our confidence, decisions and results.

Wayne shares his journey from schoolteacher and nightclub hypnotist to performing for thousands of organizations around the world. We talk about why experience matters more than perfection, how to build a business that supports the life you actually want and what hypnosis can teach us about breaking through limiting beliefs.

We also explore the comparison trap, the pressure to be further ahead and the importance of reconnecting with what makes you feel most alive. Wayne shares practical ways to interrupt old patterns, replace unhelpful suggestions and intentionally direct your mind toward greater joy, confidence and possibility.

If you’ve been questioning your progress, comparing your journey or holding yourself back from fully expressing who you are, this conversation will help you get out of your own way and start dancing your own dance.

Wayne Lee Details:

Stress may feel like an unavoidable part of running a business, but what if it’s actually a learned pattern you can change?

In this episode, I share how I recognize and interrupt my own patterns of worry, stress, and overwhelm before they take over my day. You’ll learn how to create space between a trigger and your response, shift the language you’re using, and intentionally choose a new way of showing up.

I’ll also share simple practices you can use in the moment to calm your nervous system, change your inner dialogue and move forward with greater peace, freedom and flow.

When you stop waiting for your circumstances to change and begin changing your response, you may find that you can accomplish more in less time—without carrying stress into every area of your life.

What if the way your brain works isn’t holding you back, but revealing how you’re uniquely designed to succeed?

In this episode, I sit down with Joy Foster, founder and CEO of TechPixies, for a powerful conversation about ADHD, overwhelm, entrepreneurship, perimenopause, and the importance of truly knowing yourself.

Joy shares her remarkable journey from leaving a career in finance to train for the Olympics, to becoming an accidental entrepreneur and building a multi-award-winning company that has helped more than 16,000 women return to work, change careers, and start businesses.

Together, we explore how ADHD can present differently in women, why its symptoms can intensify during perimenopause, and how greater self-awareness can help you create the structures and support you need to thrive.

Joy also shares five practical ways to support your brain, along with a simple exercise to help you interrupt automatic negative thoughts when anxiety and overwhelm take over.

One of my favourite reminders from this conversation is that a diagnosis or label doesn’t have to limit you. When you understand yourself more deeply, you can stop fighting the way you’re wired and begin using your differences as strengths.

If you’ve ever felt scattered, overwhelmed, or frustrated by the way your mind works, this episode will help you see yourself and your potential from a new perspective.

I used to believe stress was simply part of being a busy entrepreneur.

With responsibility for revenue, a team, family, and everything happening at home, feeling overwhelmed can seem completely normal.

But I’ve learned that stress is often a well-practiced pattern and a pattern can be changed.

In this episode, I share how I recognize the physical and mental signs of stress, create space between a trigger and my response, and consciously choose a new way of showing up. I explore the power of pausing, breathing, asking different questions, changing my inner dialogue, and using affirmations that create expansion instead of contraction.

I also explain why waiting for my circumstances to change isn’t the answer. If stress is my automatic response, I’ll always find something new to feel stressed about. Real change begins when I interrupt that response in the moment and repeatedly choose peace, joy, freedom, and flow.

I can’t control everything coming at me, but I can retrain my brain, reshape my habits, and choose how I want to feel. And when I do, I often accomplish more in less time; without bringing stress home to the people I love.

What if success isn’t about constantly growing bigger, but about building a business and life that feel meaningful?

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend and business owner Daryn Kemp of Applied Color to explore his journey from employee to entrepreneur. We talk about navigating risk, learning from failure, building the right team and staying grounded when business challenges pull you off centre.

Daryn shares why authentic relationships and being of service have been central to his success, and why growth for the sake of growth doesn’t always lead to a happier life. We also discuss the importance of making time for reflection, turning down the noise and trusting that you don’t need to have the next five years figured out.

Sometimes, the most powerful question you can ask is: “What is my next step today?”

As you listen, consider one insight you can take from this conversation and begin applying to your life or business.

Success doesn’t have to be complicated but it does require the right combination of mindset and strategy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the foundational elements that drive success in any business: people, processes and products. I’ll also explain why your business will never outperform your mindset and how a crystal-clear vision can guide your decisions, priorities and next steps.

You’ll discover how to:

• Identify which area of your business needs your attention most
• Apply the knowledge and experience you already have
• Create a vision that includes success in both business and life
• Strengthen your mindset to stop limiting or sabotaging your results
• Use coaching and mentorship to accelerate your progress

Success leaves clues. When you align a clear strategy with a success-focused mindset, you can create meaningful results and a business that supports a life you truly love.

Here's to you living a life that you love.

What would it take for you to say yes to your biggest dream — even when it feels scary?

In this episode, I'm joined by Elissa Fesyk, founder of Fesyk Marketing and the Momentum Collective. Eleven years after launching her business, Elissa moved her family from Edmonton to Milan, bringing her relationship-focused business with her and fulfilling her vision of a business she can run from anywhere in the world.

We talk about why you don't have to be loud to lead, how she built a business almost entirely on referrals, and the real story behind deciding to move abroad — the fear, the logistics, and the moment she went all in. Elissa also shares how living in Milan transformed her creative practice, her lifelong connection to the Olympics (including her son's unique role on the ice cleaning crew this year), and what we as entrepreneurs can learn from the Games.

If you've been dreaming of living abroad, growing a business on your own terms, or finally making time for what lights you up, this conversation is your reminder that everything is figure-outable.

I'm Stacey Berger; here's to you living a life that you love.

When life gets hard, most people do one of two things: suppress the pain and push through, or put their dreams on hold until they feel "ready." The problem? Both keep you stuck.

In this episode, I share the "yes and" approach; a mindset that lets you grieve and keep moving toward your vision at the same time. I talk about why burying your emotions never works, how Napoleon Hill's principle of finding the seed of benefit in every adversity can bring genuine peace, and how to take baby steps toward your dreams even on your hardest days.

You don't have to have it all together to move forward. You just have to be willing to hold the possibility that what's on the other side of this could be better than what you're leaving behind.

In this episode:

• Why "I'll pursue my dream once I've healed" is a trap
• The difference between suppressing emotions and transforming them
• How to ask better questions when life feels soul-crushing
• Grace, capacity, and keeping momentum through grief

What's actually happening in your brain when you're stuck in a worry loop...and what can you do about it in seconds?

In this episode, I'm joined by Pete Sanders, MIT honors graduate, former naval officer, and 56-year pioneer in mind-body-spirit science. Pete is the founder of Free Soul, a nonprofit education foundation in Sedona, Arizona, and the author of Access Your Brain's Joy Center and You Are Psychic. He has spent his career doing something rare: grounding spiritual wisdom in hard neuroscience so it's practical, accessible, and usable in your real life and business.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why most of us are operating from limbic brain; the survival and stress center; and why that's not a character flaw, it's physiology
• The Joy Center (septum pellucidum) and how to activate your brain's mood elevation fibers in seconds without medication or surgery
• Pete's live demonstration of the inner smile technique; something you can feel immediately
• "Make life a quest, not a test"; and why the language we use about our lives shapes everything
• "Look down, think up"; how to stay grounded in your day-to-day while keeping your thinking connected to your vision
• Why Pete doesn't believe in ESP, but fully believes in HSP (higher sensory perception); and how tapping it makes you a better decision-maker
• The mind-blowing fact: there are more possible pathways in the human nervous system than there are atoms in the entire known universe

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in a loop they couldn't think their way out of; and is ready to do life and business from a place of joy instead of struggle.
