Finding Purpose

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Rosalie Kissmann—speaker, educator, happiness teacher, and founder of Joy Redefined—for a powerful conversation about finding joy, trusting your intuition, overcoming fear, authentic living, self-love, relationships, spirituality, and discovering your purpose.

Rosalie grew up as the daughter of Italian immigrants in a traditional household where life came with a clear roadmap: work hard, get an education, get married, and follow the rules. For years, she checked every box. By her twenties, she had the marriage, beautiful home, luxury cars, and vacations that were supposed to represent success.

But something was missing.

At 31, Rosalie trusted the voice inside telling her that the life she had built wasn't the life she was meant to live. Despite resistance from her family and the fear of starting over, she chose divorce and walked away from the comfort and security she had known.

Going from a 3,600-square-foot home to a one-bedroom apartment taught her something life-changing: happiness and fulfillment aren't the same thing as having more.

Adam and Rosalie explore the psychology of happiness, including the difference between hedonic happiness—the temporary pleasure we experience through possessions and experiences—and eudaimonic happiness, the deeper fulfillment that comes from meaning, growth, and living in alignment.

Rosalie also opens up about one of the darkest periods of her life. During the pandemic, while teaching and raising her daughters, she reached a point where she no longer wanted to live. Then, during an experience she describes as divine, she felt a powerful shift that changed the trajectory of her life and deepened her connection to spirituality and purpose.

That journey ultimately became Joy Redefined.

Rosalie explains why joy isn't reserved for life's happiest moments. It can exist alongside grief, adversity, uncertainty, and struggle. She shares practical insights on staying present, strengthening social connection, breaking generational patterns, embracing failure, removing the masks we wear, and learning to become your own biggest supporter.

She also shares her JOY framework: Just remove your mask. Own your story. You are enough.

At its core, this conversation challenges us to stop looking outside ourselves for happiness and start building lives rooted in authenticity, purpose, connection, and self-acceptance.

Rosalie Kissmann is a speaker, educator, happiness teacher, and founder of Joy Redefined. After 25 years as an elementary school teacher, she expanded her passion for education by teaching happiness to children and sharing her message with broader audiences through motivational speaking.

Her work explores happiness, authenticity, self-acceptance, resilience, relationships, spirituality, and what it means to find joy even when life isn't perfect.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Jeffery Seitz—writer, storyteller, and lifelong creative—for an honest conversation about overcoming shame, faith, self-acceptance, vulnerability, community, creativity, and finding purpose through the stories that shape us.

Growing up homeschooled in a faith-centered household, Jeffery often struggled with feeling different. As he entered adulthood, questions about identity, masculinity, career, belonging, and his relationship with God became increasingly difficult to ignore.

Jeffery opens up about seasons of frustration with his faith, comparing his life to others, struggling to accept himself, and questioning why the opportunities he wanted weren't happening on his timeline.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Jeffery shares the shame he carried around his appearance, being homeschooled, living with celiac disease, and his struggle with pornography addiction. For years, he believed parts of himself needed to remain hidden.

That began to change when he found a community where vulnerability was met with compassion rather than judgment. Jeffery describes the night he finally admitted he wasn't happy and shared his addiction with a group of men. Instead of experiencing the rejection he feared, he found love, accountability, and support.

Adam and Jeffery explore why shame thrives in secrecy, how vulnerability creates connection, and why our struggles can be part of our story without defining who we are.

They also discuss Jeffery's evolving relationship with Christianity, learning to question without abandoning faith, and how community helped transform his relationship with God.

Storytelling becomes another powerful thread. Through writing his debut novel, A Dragon from Heaven, Jeffery began recognizing that perfect characters don't create meaningful stories—imperfection, struggle, and redemption do.

At its core, this conversation is about accepting your story, letting go of shame, and recognizing that what you once wanted to hide may ultimately become part of your purpose.

Jeffery Seitz is a writer, storyteller, and lifelong creative from Highland, New York. His professional journey spans higher education, nonprofit work, healthcare, communications, entertainment, and publishing.

Today, he is channeling his experiences, imagination, and love of literature into his debut novel, A Dragon from Heaven, exploring themes of faith, identity, imperfection, and redemption.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Elizabeth Rosenberg—entrepreneur, communications strategist, intuitive medium, and founder of The Good Advice Company—for a candid conversation about burnout, authentic leadership, personal branding, spirituality, intuition, and finding purpose in an increasingly AI-driven world.

After more than two decades in public relations, advertising, and communications, Elizabeth had built a successful career working with major global brands. But behind that success was an unsustainable pace. While working nearly 80-hour weeks, a debilitating migraine caused her to lose her motor skills and sent her to the emergency room—forcing her to eventually reconsider how she was living.

Adam and Elizabeth explore burnout, why success doesn't always equal alignment, and how boundaries, physical health, and spiritual health can change the direction of our lives.

They also dive into personal branding and authentic leadership—why trying to be everything to everyone weakens your message, why failures can create deeper human connection than accomplishments, and why authenticity is becoming increasingly valuable in an AI-driven world.

Elizabeth also shares her journey as an intuitive medium and how embracing spirituality became part of her professional identity rather than something she needed to hide. Together, they discuss intuitive intelligence, trusting your inner voice, curiosity, purpose, and having the courage to build a life that reflects who you actually are.

Elizabeth Rosenberg is an entrepreneur, communications strategist, advisor, intuitive medium, and founder of The Good Advice Company, where she works with executives and organizations on personal branding, communications strategy, thought leadership, visibility, and authentic leadership.

She is also the founder of Chief Spiritual Officer, a platform exploring spiritual health, intuitive intelligence, and the uniquely human skills leaders can cultivate as AI continues reshaping the workplace.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Eric Pellini—coach, speaker, creator of the Dojo Method, and creator of The Liminal Father—for a deeply personal conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, shame, spirituality, fatherhood, identity, and personal transformation.

Eric traces much of his journey back to childhood, when his parents' divorce changed the way he experienced himself and the world around him. What followed were years of searching for safety, identity, validation, and belonging through sports, achievement, relationships, and other forms of coping.

After pursuing broadcast journalism, Eric pivoted into fitness and built a career around physical performance. But chronic pain, relationship struggles, addiction, and the constant pressure to perform eventually forced him to look beyond the physical and confront the emotional patterns underneath.

In one of the most vulnerable moments of the conversation, Eric opens up about pornography addiction, the shame surrounding it, and finally sharing the truth with the woman who would become his wife. Adam and Eric explore why shame thrives in secrecy, the difference between guilt and shame, and how self-compassion can help us heal the parts of ourselves we've tried to hide.

They also discuss spirituality, surrender, trusting something greater than ourselves, and learning to recognize the patterns shaping our identity.

Fatherhood has brought another evolution to Eric's journey. Through The Liminal Father, he is creating space for honest conversations about modern fatherhood, men's mental health, emotional overwhelm, marriage, masculinity, identity, and the struggles many fathers experience but rarely discuss openly.

At its core, this conversation is about healing the past, breaking old patterns, and intentionally becoming the person you want to be.

Eric Pellini is a coach, speaker, mentor, and creator of the Dojo Method, an approach integrating physical training, mental performance, values, emotional awareness, and identity to create sustainable transformation.

He is also the creator of The Liminal Father, a platform exploring modern fatherhood and men's mental health through vulnerable conversations about identity, relationships, emotional healing, and personal growth.

Eric's work helps adults and young people develop greater self-awareness, reconnect with their values, and build lives rooted in truth, purpose, and alignment.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Carly Thibault-DuDonis—Head Coach of Fairfield University Women's Basketball—for a conversation about leadership, culture, resilience, authenticity, and what it takes to bring out the best in others.

Basketball has been part of Carly's life for as long as she can remember. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the game, playing collegiate basketball at Monmouth University, and learning under accomplished coaches throughout her career all helped shape the leader she is today. But Carly's approach to coaching extends far beyond wins, losses, and what happens on the court.

Together, Adam and Carly explore how great cultures are built through trust, consistency, honest communication, and clearly defined values. Carly shares the principles that guide her personally—joy, truth, and connection—and how those values influence the way she leads her players, develops her staff, and navigates the pressure that comes with coaching at a high level.

They also dive into Fairfield's STAG Standards—Selfless, Tough, Accountable, and Grateful—and why Carly believes developing successful people is more important than simply creating rule followers.

From navigating adversity and learning from different leadership styles to building trust with student-athletes in the changing landscape of college sports, Carly offers an inside look at what it takes to create a program where people feel valued, challenged, and empowered to grow.

At the heart of the conversation is Carly's belief that her purpose is to help other people become the best versions of themselves—and that basketball is simply the vehicle that allows her to do it.

Whether you're a coach, entrepreneur, parent, business leader, athlete, or anyone responsible for bringing people together around a shared mission, this conversation offers powerful lessons on creating culture, leading authentically, and staying grounded in who you are when the pressure is highest.

Carly Thibault-DuDonis is the Head Coach of the Fairfield University Women's Basketball Program and one of the rising leaders in women's college basketball.

Since taking over the program, Carly has helped establish Fairfield as a nationally recognized program while building a culture centered on high standards, accountability, connection, and the development of the whole person.

Before becoming a head coach, Carly developed her leadership philosophy through coaching roles at several collegiate programs, learning from a wide range of accomplished coaches and leadership styles along the way. As a player at Monmouth University, she learned firsthand how to contribute beyond individual statistics, embrace adversity, and become the kind of teammate a coach could trust in any situation.

Today, Carly leads with a philosophy rooted in joy, truth, and connection, using basketball as a platform to help young women discover who they are, develop as leaders, and become the best versions of themselves both on and off the court.

• Finding her own identity within the game

Prantik's journey began as the son of first-generation Indian immigrants, navigating questions of identity while growing up in Queens, New York.

Through EyeThree AI, he is transforming decades of neuroscience research into practical tools that help people better understand how their brains work, identify their strengths, and make more intentional decisions about their lives.

Together, Adam and Prantik explore the neuroscience behind depression, ADHD, addiction, trauma, identity, purpose, and why understanding your brain may be one of the most powerful investments you can make in your personal growth.

Whether you're interested in mental health, human performance, recovery, or simply becoming more self-aware, this conversation offers an incredible look into the science behind what makes us who we are.

With more than 25 years of experience helping people move better and live healthier lives, Dr. Kipp has built a career centered on one simple philosophy: if you give your body what it needs and remove what it doesn't, it has an incredible ability to heal. But his story extends far beyond chiropractic.

After a life-changing injury in college altered his career path, Robert went on to build a thriving practice while navigating major personal and financial setbacks, including rebuilding his life following divorce and starting over multiple times in new cities. Throughout every chapter, he discovered that purpose isn't something you stumble upon—it's something you build through the decisions you make every day.

Together, Adam and Robert explore the importance of self-care, happiness, relationships, entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and why taking decisive action is often the first step toward creating the life you truly want.

Whether you're navigating a career transition, rebuilding after adversity, or simply looking for practical ways to improve your health and mindset, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that growth begins with movement—both physically and mentally.

Dr. Robert Kipp is a chiropractor with more than 25 years of clinical experience and the owner of Pro Health Chiropractic in Southport, Connecticut.

Known for his patient-centered, results-driven approach, Dr. Kipp helps individuals restore movement, reduce pain, and live healthier, more active lives. In addition to his chiropractic practice, he is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, operations manager for Vital Infusions, and co-founder of the upcoming Second Wind IV Therapy at Mohegan Sun—a wellness concept designed to help people recharge, recover, and perform at their best.

His work is rooted in helping others build healthier lives while creating lasting impact through service, leadership, and intentional living.

Adam works privately as a Recovery and Purpose Development Coach, helping individuals break old patterns, build resilience, and realign their lives with who they truly are—not just who they've been conditioned to be.

In this special edition of the Purpose Panels, Adam brings together three leaders in the fashion and style space for a conversation about confidence, self-expression, entrepreneurship, personal branding, and the deeper role fashion plays in helping us become who we're meant to be.

Featuring Alyson Iarrusso, founder of Cove Fine Jewelry, Seth Stahlmann, Regional Director and custom clothier with Tweeds, and Tanya Meyers, founder of Mode T, this discussion explores how style extends far beyond clothing and accessories. At its core, fashion is about identity, self-worth, confidence, and the stories we tell ourselves and the world around us.

Throughout the conversation, the panel shares their personal journeys, the challenges of entrepreneurship, the lessons they've learned while building businesses, and how authenticity has become the foundation of their success.

Together, they discuss the intersection of fashion and purpose, why confidence is an inside job, and how personal style can become a powerful reflection of who we are rather than who we think we're supposed to be.

This conversation is a reminder that the way we present ourselves to the world isn't about perfection—it's about alignment, authenticity, and having the confidence to fully step into our own story.

Alyson Iarrusso is the founder and designer behind Cove Fine Jewelry, a luxury jewelry brand known for creating timeless pieces that celebrate individuality, craftsmanship, and meaningful personal expression.
