Are you focusing more on what others want for you versus what you really want? Do you find your to-do list getting longer and longer, and it doesn't seem you are making an impact? If you are asking yourself, "What is this all for?", "Now what?" or "Is there more?" you may be ready to embark on your next step of self-discovery. 

After five years of researching, attending, and practicing, our guest, JJ DiGeronimo, is joining us to share key findings from her journey. In the episode, we discuss some strategies that helped JJ infuse more purpose and meaning into her work and life. We discuss:

• The value of scheduling a solo trip 
•  The difference between mindfulness and meditation 
• What does it even mean to be seeking
• What patterns are you repeating in your life that do not serve you
• Are you missing the lessons you need to learn
• What it means to raise your frequency and why you need to do it

As you listen, think about what you can do to take control of your life, the self-doubt and negative thoughts holding you back from becoming who you really desire to be.

Imagine working closely with individuals whose actions determine whether you live or die. Or you frequently work long hours in high-stress, high-paced environments, sometimes in isolated locations far away from friends and family. Maybe you have had to miss special occasions, your child's memorable first, or you have had to work during the holidays. Many spend years in careers like this, and their experience shapes who they become. These individuals, Veterans, are those who have served in the United States military. 

Individuals transitioning from the military can lose a part of themselves. According to the 2021 census, only 6.4% of the nation's adult population has served in the military. This creates a unique population that shares a common bond. However, many in society do not understand this experience, which makes it difficult for Veterans to transition back into society. This includes returning to what some would call a normal civilian life, obtaining a job, navigating family dynamics, and even attending college.

In this episode,  Corporate Coach for Veterans Ahmad Burse joins us to discuss the Veteran transition. We talk about:

• The first 90 days after separating 
• Challenges transitioning service members have  
• What it really means to say, "Thank you for your service,"
• Do all Veterans have some trauma they need to deal with
• Three things are Veterans need to have 
• Key things employers need to consider when hiring or recruiting  Veterans
• Advice for those working side by side with Veterans and more...

Tune in as we dive into Veterans' challenges when transitioning from the military, starting a new career, and how employers can create an inclusive environment that welcomes those who have served our country.

Relationships are hard these days.  It is hard to find someone you want to be with, and it is hard to maintain the relationship. Too often, people will find out too late, after they say I do, that the person they married is not their person. Or we stay in relationships that are destructive and drain every ounce of life out of us. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. But if you peel the layers back, and you are honest, you will admit we don’t take time to do the work to prepare us to be in a healthy, viable, and adventurous relationship. 

In this episode, men’s mental health coach and transformative leader William Baptiste joins us to talk about what it takes to become a husband. He believes the work starts way before you say  I do, and you don’t have to be getting married or even thinking about getting married – the work still needs to be done.  We discuss: 
 

• The process of becoming a husband, 
• Walking in the spirit of a husband vice the spirit of a boyfriend,
• The true meaning of being a protector, 
• When and should a woman submit to a man,
• Don't confuse capability with trauma bonding,
• Stop ignoring the yellow flags, 
• The importance of making peace with your past and so much more...

This is the first episode in a series in which Will and Carolyn dive deep into relationships, and they will be bringing the heat.  So sit back and tune in as they get HOT - Honest, Open, and Transparent.

Have you heard of the COVID 15? If you haven't, it is very similar to the freshman 15. You know you go off to college, and as you adjust to this new phase in life, you add about 15 pounds to your body. For the past few years, as a result of the COVID pandemic, many of us were primarily working at home, so we packed on a few extra pounds. 

Working away in our homes, we became sedentary, did not take good care of our health, or practiced a solid self-care routine. Now that we are traveling again, going to networking events and conferences, or maybe going back into the office, even if it is just a few days a week, we have encountered a small, well, actually large problem. The clothes hanging in our closet no longer fit.  

One of the best ways to combat disease, illness, or fatigue is to properly care for our minds, souls, and bodies. Now, we talk a lot about the first two, our minds and souls, on the show, but joining us today is Coach Larry Lee, who is going to discuss the third piece, our bodies. 

In the episode, we discuss:

• Why failure is a part of success,
• Three words that can shape your commitment to anything,
•  How overthinking can keep you stuck,
•  Why it's all about YOUR journey,
•  How being NEAT can make a difference, and
•  The only piece of fitness equipment you need to get started and more...

Tune in and learn why you need to stop overthinking, stop worrying about what other people think, and take control of your fitness, health, and life.

According to our guest today, we all have a hero inside of us. Yes, all of us. Not just me but even you too. But far too often, something stands in our way from letting the hero rise and guide us. What is this obstacle standing in our way? The Ego. 

The Ego likes for us to stay safe and comfortable; there is only so much we can achieve, and we probably don't deserve it anyway. It's easy to see what "they" have that we don't have. We avoid taking risks and become stuck in a place where there is no growth. What if we can learn a different way to approach life, from an authenticity, allowing ourselves to be who we truly are with no shame, guilt, fear, or worry about what others think of us? Is it even possible in this world of social media and cancel culture?  

In this episode, spiritual teacher, and personal transformation coach, Christian de la Huerta shares with us how we can begin to understand the ego and how we view power and tools to heal our egos to live a whole and authentic life. 

We discuss:

•    Embarking on the "Heroes' Journey" 
•    Emotions and the impact they have on us and our relationships
•   Why we need to redefine traditional male roles
•    If men should still be defined by the size of their paycheck and more...

Tune in, learn how to say yes, and create a life you truly enjoy living.

Life can be hard. You will experience difficult times, adversities, and tragedies regardless of who you are or your background. These difficult moments can knock you off your feet, leading to unhealthy habits, divorce, and sometimes even suicide. We are not born knowing how to deal with these moments and are often unprepared when they happen. Once they do, we can get stuck, not knowing what to do or how to move forward.

Our guest today, Johnny Sirpilla, knows way too much about the pain of dealing with difficult moments in life, having gone through 13 different scenarios to try to become a father with his wife, Susan. From In Vitro Fertilization to natural pregnancies, adoptions, international adoptions, twins, triplets, life-threatening medical concerns, and tested faith, Johnny had to decide how he would get through these moments and live his life to the best of his ability. Some say time heals all wounds. But was it possible in Johnny's case?  

In this episode, we talk about:

•    The impact and pain of tragic events 
•     Searching for the positive through the pain
•     How to manage and reframe our thoughts
•     How to emerge through  the pain and live with gratitude 

Johnny shares a very personal story as an example, "Life is Hard, But it Will Be Okay."
