This week on Journey to June, I am joined once again by my daughter, Josi June. This time around we talk about how she navigated her first lead role as the star of the play Annie. She walks me through how she prepared for the role, how she felt on stage, and what she took away from the experience. We also talk about the beauty of the theater community and how everyone has to work as a team and have each others’ backs to bring a show to life.

Our conversation this week is with author, speaker, and Now-ist, Billy Mandarino. In this episode, Billy shares his life philosophy and wisdom about the importance and power of living in the present moment, which is what his book "The Now-ist" is all about. He takes us on a journey through his childhood trauma and how it played a part in shaping him into the person he is today. We discuss how Billy coped with his parents’ divorce, what it taught him, how he healed from it, and what all of us can learn from trauma. We dive deep into the importance of awareness, trusting your gut and intuition, and disrupting self-sabotaging patterns. 

Billy’s mission in life is to teach people to become more aware of the gifts in the present moment and to create a movement of “Nowists.” You can learn more and find Billy's book "The Now-ist" by visiting billymandarino.com

In honor of the end of Women's History Month, I had to have my dear friend Claudia on the show. Claudia and her team members at Mission Wealth are the perfect example of a woman shifting the way people approach the conversation about money. As Partner and Client Advisor, Claudia shares her journey around money as a child and how it shifted through the years to shape her into the advisor she is today. 

Claudia gives us a fresh look and feel inside her world as a financial advisor and how she best serves her clients, their wealth, and life goals, which go way beyond just crunching numbers. Her human way in an arena that sometimes is all about the numbers will make any listener rethink their own approach to having a financial advisor. If you are one that struggles with the conversation around money, check out our conversation. Claudia is all business but lives and operates with the biggest heart. Learn more at missionwealth.com.

In this week's episode, business owner and musicologist, Alice Cotter joins us (in the midst of a blizzard) to share her own journey to “Finding Meaning and Fulfillment Beyond The Job Market.” With her deep passion for learning and music, she created an opportunity for herself at the top university Princeton. She shares her experience of expectations, the pressures of pursuing the highest studies of music, and studying alongside some of the best in her field.   

This is a conversation for pre-college, college students, post-college grads, and parents that will help you understand that there is not only one path you can take. Alice encourages us all to be open because all the little moments are leading us somewhere magical. In a music world where everyone thought she should go in one direction, she went with her own instinct and gave herself permission to live her life with creativity and imagination. Alice took a leap of faith and opened her own music school in the small town of Truckee in North Tahoe.  

And how lucky we were to meet this lovely woman to teach Josi in an arena she loves so much, music. There is just something so magical about someone who is not only an incredible teacher in their craft, but also brings their incredible light to the experience. Once I knew my podcast was in the works, I knew I had to have her on to dig deeper into her journey, work, and wisdom. Alice reminds us all, “We don't need others' permission to live a life with creativity and imagination.”

This week's conversation is with Shannon Sedlacek, a coach who shares her incredible journey of the golden threads of her life pivots. Shannon began as an extreme athlete who thrived on competition and challenge to be her very best. She found that same thrill in the courtroom as a litigation attorney. Yet, after seven years of an amazing-looking life on the outside, being financially free and engaged to her fiancé, she realized that her inner voice was whispering something else in her ear. Sometimes, the life you worked so hard for and pictured isn't always the feeling you thought you were looking for. After injuring herself falling off a ladder, Shannon found herself at a crossroads. 

In this episode, she shares the story of her clean slate, quitting her career, letting go of her fiancé, and stating that she might be gay, all in one moment. The ladder actually became her next step in a very male-dominant arena where she became the first woman lieutenant firefighter in their station. Both the court and ladder taught her skills that enable her to be the incredible coach that she is. She walks the walk and is a pure example of what it means to be a Soulstigator. You won't want to miss this one. The wisdom from life play to slowing down in her cave to recover and finding her answers is just a bit of wisdom from this amazing woman making her mark.

After the conversation, like most of my conversations with Shannon, I take a good look at what I am resisting and where I can put a little more cave time in to dig deeper into what is speaking to me. Listen and you will experience the same.

If Shannon's conversation spoke to you, and you are looking for support in your own transformation journey, reach out to her at [email protected] or check out her website: shannonsaid.com

This week’s Soulstigator Conversation is with Allan Van Nostrand, a former professional tennis player who now is teaching the next generation of players. I met Allan 5 years ago while taking a tennis lesson and quickly bonded with him about the mindset to bring out your best. He is a one of a kind coach that knows his stuff while reflecting on his own journey of what it is to be HUMAN.

Coming from a tennis family that goes back many generations, Allan shares his experience of growing up with a family that had high expectations for all. The pressure of expectations was real and he shares his own journey of discovering himself. This conversation is raw and so authentic. Whether a tennis player or not, there will be something he shares that will hit a cord with anyone striving to be extraordinary.

I can’t wait for you to learn more from Allan and his theories, not only as a tennis player, but also as a human who has had his own journey on and off the court.

This week’s conversation is with Ben Van Treese, elite water skier, avid rock climber, passionate outdoorsman, and elite fitness trainer.

He is always pushing his edge in the mountains and has a deep passion for shifting how people train and view strength.

We discuss the importance of longevity as an athlete and why it's important to train with someone who understands where the client is in their journey of fitness and aging.

His refreshing approach to training ageless athletes rests on three principles:  
1. Evidence-Based Training
2. Train to Last, Not to Break
3. Advertage at every age

I love his philosophy around training and truly who he is as an individual.  He leads with his whole heart.

Ben, in his chill way, is paving a path for those who want to play for years beyond.----

This week, we are honored and humbled to share a very special episode featuring a remarkable woman, Eileen Rosenthal.

Eileen is a life time educator with deep knowledge that she has gathered throughout her 81 years on this planet, or as she says, her “81 revolutions around the sun.” At a young age, Eileen was an only child and felt very alone, yet she was extremely driven to fill her emptiness. In time, Eileen learned from reading stories and being part of communities where she began to imagine what was possible for her. 

60 years of marriage, she has dedicated her life to her family and now passionately and intentionally shares her wisdom with her grandkids. “Exposure is our responsibility as grandparents.” 

I love learning from older generations and seeing the world throw their eyes and Eileen is no different. It’s amazing that I met this beautiful human just months ago, but have learned quickly about her fascinating story and how she sees the world. Her lively, authentic perspective on relationships and life is one I cherish and hope you do too.

Eileen's insight and wisdom is worth a listen. 
“LIVE THE QUESTION. The answer will show up.”

Our first interview is with Golf Hall of Fame legend Betsy King! She is a class act who is just as good off the course than she is on it. 

Betsy devoted decades of her life to become one of the best women golfers of all time, winning 34 LPGA tours and 6 majors. If you’re a part of the Live Your June community, you know I’m obsessed with learning how the best in their arena did it, so I wanted to dive deeper into how Betsy's golf journey started and evolved.     

In this conversation, we begin by getting a clearer picture of what it was like for Betsy in her younger years playing golf. She tells me about how she was on her own for the most part and had to learn to be self motivated, which is much different than it is today. We talk about how she found her love for golf, how she navigated the challenges in her pursuit to be a pro golfer, and what kind of legacy she'd like to leave behind. Learn more about the person behind the athlete, what calmed her down during times of chaos, her guiding principles, and everything she learned on her Journey to June.
