This season is all about sabbaticals and what you attract into your life when you allow ease and flow and fun. While I was on my road trip sabbatical with Panther last summer, I attracted an amazing business partnership that has now developed to the point where my partners and I are actively acquiring personal development businesses or assets this year. 

So quick question for you. Who do you know with a personal development business – really anything in the personal development arena - that would be interested in a super fun opportunity to make some extra money? Hit me up if you have someone in mind. Text is 571.317.1463 or [email protected].

Oh, and you know you can still get a copy of the short guide to working less and living better - also known as The Five Easy Ways to Start Living a Sabbatical Life at ZenRabbit.com.

Are you ready to hear from one of the most inspiring women I've ever met? I am so excited to introduce you to Dorothy Wisnewski. Dorothy is a copywriter and brand messaging strategist who uses her incredible gift of empathy and word alchemy to help inclusive brands do good things and create opportunity and revenue. But that's not all: Dorothy is also a fierce defender of the Oxford comma, and she has a deep and meaningful relationship with artisan bread — which are less random facts than you might assume.

In this episode, Dorothy and I delve into the importance of taking care of all parts of yourself and how it's impossible to power through life when you're in the middle of a depressive period. Dorothy shares her personal experience of relearning how to live after being diagnosed with a chronic illness and how that led her to the realization that she deserves more than just surviving. You won't want to miss Dorothy's powerful words of wisdom and the lessons she's learned along the way.

As usual, today’s episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. But instead of inviting you to get a copy of  the short guide to working less and living better - also known as The Five Easy Ways to Start Living a Sabbatical Life, I’ve got something else. You’ve heard my guests and me talking this season about sabbaticals and I’ve shared a bit about the one I took last August. 

One of the opportunities that came to me when I wasn’t working was this amazing business partnership. That has developed to the point where my partners and I are actively acquiring personal development businesses or assets this year. So my question for you this week is – do you know anyone with a personal development business who is looking to get out? 

Alternatively, if you know someone who is still all-in and interested in making extra money through some JV opportunities promoting other people's offers, I'd love an intro to them too. Hit me up if you have someone in mind. Text is 571.317.1463 or [email protected].

Do you feel like you're just going through the motions in life? In this episode of FINE is a 4-Letter Word, I’m speaking with Shelley Paxton, former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson and author of the bestselling book Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life.

Shelley shares her personal journey of feeling success-EMPTY rather than success-FULL  — despite achieving what many consider to be the pinnacle of success. This awakening led her on a profound journey of self-discovery and a mission to help others redefine success on their own terms.

During the conversation, she discusses the importance of rebelling for what you want in life rather than against what you don't want, defining success in a way that feels fulfilling from the inside out, and the power of slowing down and listening to your inner voice. Shelley also shares insights on how being a professional marketer can actually help you better represent your own personal brand.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with Shelley Paxton that will help you break out of the "fine" mentality and start living a life that's truly fulfilling. Listen now!

Dawn Mullarney is a business owner, entrepreneur, and an all-around amazing human being. Dawn worked hard in wealth management for 8 years and became a mother. She wanted to set a good example for her son but was sacrificing time with him to build her career. She became a "yes" girl, taking on a lot of work and building her network — even at the expense of her health. After a health scare, she decided to make a change and prioritize her health and family. She started her own business and asked herself "What's the worst that could happen?" — realizing the answer wasn't as scary as she thought. After a lifetime of being a people-pleaser, Dawn finally discovered how to put herself first and stop living a “fine” life.

On this episode of 'Fine is a Four Letter Word', we have Mike Fister with us to talk about how he and his family have navigated through the difficult time of having two miscarriages within a short period of time and the power of presence and being open with kids about emotional experiences..

Mike and his wife were expecting their fourth child in June 2022 but sadly experienced a miscarriage. A few months later they found out they were pregnant again, but that pregnancy also ended in a miscarriage. Mike reveals how his current organization and leadership value family first, which allowed him to be present with his wife and family during their grieving process. Throughout this tragic and difficult year, Mike learned the importance of letting people help you and leaning into gratitude to find joy in the midst of pain. I hope listeners will be inspired by his resilience and courage.
