In this episode, I’m taking you back to the early days of my health and wellness journey—before the growth, before the wins, before the freedom. Just a few months in, I made one decision that changed the entire trajectory of my life and business: I said yes to attending our Global Training Conference in Vegas.

What happened there cast a massive vision for what was possible—and it lit a fire in me that’s never gone out.

We’ll dive into:

• Why vision is the foundation of real transformation
• The power of proximity—and why who you’re around truly shapes your future
• How live events carry energy that unlocks belief
• Why small steps, not giant leaps, are what actually change your life
• And how to start moving even when you’re not “ready”

If you’ve ever felt the nudge that you were made for more… this episode is your sign to follow it.

You don’t need a full plan. You just need to take the next step. If you feel compelled, reach out to me on instagram and let's connect!

We recently did a deep dive and took inventory of our life and evaluated what was serving us, what wasn't, where we needed to create more space what we're most passionate about, what was draining and our path forward as a couple, as business partners and as a family and we have decided that during this season, it's time to put the Getting Magnetic with Sandy & Wade podcast on pause.

In this chapter of our life we're hyper focused on our marriage, our mental health, our family, our network marketing business and our investments. We're getting LASER focused and we've released some things that were taking up energy.

In this grand finale of what we'll call season 1, Sandy goes OFF on story time, in pure flow state and shares the tales of our wild European adventure with 2 under 2 and how it led to breakthrough when we got home of where our focuses should be.

If it is meant to be and feels aligned, we will come back for a season 2 of Getting Magnetic, bigger and better than ever.

For now enjoy the final episode of season 1 and we want to say from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU for listening and being a part of our community!

We aren't going anywhere you can follow us on instagram where we essentially display a daily documentary of our life here:

Sandy met Melissa at a recent women's empowerment event and loved her energy so much she knew she had to get her ont he podcast! Feast your ears on today's episode, by the end you're going to feel TOTALLY empowered!

Melissa Wiggins, aka Coach Mummabear, is a fiery Scottish lassie and lawyer turned High-
Performance Master Certified Professional Life Coach.

With a top 10 percent globally ranked podcast, while speaking on stages across the globe, she
has already penned her first book.

Coach Mummabear is about to birth her second book UnFollow a book dedicated to resetting
your entire life, a book about deciding what you seek to follow and what to Unfollow. By
questioning everything with excitement the time is now to live this one life - and as she always
says - no do-overs.

At 39, Melissa believes the warm-up is over, and she is pouring into as many lassies and lads as
possible.

When her firstborn was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer as she was about to give birth to twin
boys, her full-time calling became saving her son's life. Shortly after, along with her husband
Michael they created a foundation for pediatric cancer research. The foundation has since raised
millions of dollars and, so far, has funded research in 3 continents and 26 states. But she soon
became a burned-out CEO, which led her to build and create innovative tools for living for her
clients.

Melissa took that season and countless others to build belief and bravery from every stage,
podcast interview, and group she coaches. Empowered people - empower people.
If you only get one life lassies and lads - what are you doing with it? Her sobriety, sons'
diagnosis, her daughter's adoption, and countless other challenges are no longer excuses but
instead push her forward to help more people.

As a Mum of 5 - via step, biological, and adoption - she believes you can be a fun, present mum
and have a thriving career. Her motto is 'A Mum and....'You can have a thriving career or a
work-from-home gig, be healthy, and fulfilled, and have great relationships without burning out
– she can show you how!
