    Katie Rössler is a transformative grief guide and licensed counselor with 13 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families. She is the author of "The New Face of Grief" coming out October 5th, 2021 and is on a mission to help people learn how to heal hidden grief in their lives. Katie is an expat wife, mom of three, and enjoys spending time in nature.

    By leaning in to the transformative process of grief, Katie Rössler normalizes a topic society doesn’t discuss enough. One that when ignored, can lead to addiction, disconnection from loved ones, and increased stress.

    In this episode we discuss:


    • Why it’s time to upgrade the definition of grief
    • How to break the old rules of grief and create your own
    • How grief transforms how we function in our day to day
    • How to heal but also continue to grow

  • Stress Management Coach Rhonda Berlino on High Performance Coping & the Impact of Stress and Trauma on Overall Health

    Send us Fan Mail

    For over 25 years, Rhonda worked in high pressure, high stress environments, 
    working with Real Estate professionals, as a Sales Executive at a Fortune 250 
    Company. As a coach specializing in business development, professional
     development, and lead generation, she worked with countless brokers and 
    agents to help them increase profits, bring in new leads, close bigger deals. 
    She created, and often taught customized certified CEU classes to keep their 
    people compliant. She worked long hours, traveled constantly, and ignored 
    the signs that her body was giving her. As a driven, talented professional who
     was all in, she pushed through and kept pushing through with the confidence 
    and energy of someone who knew that she could handle whatever was 
    thrown at her.


    Until she couldn’t. 

    She found herself in the emergency room.


    Simply put, Rhonda collapsed both physically and emotionally. The constant
     stress, the high stakes, the never-ending workload left her with Hashimoto’s
    Thyroiditis, Fibromyalgia, Adrenal Fatigue, and Epstein Barr virus. Depleted, 
    exhausted, but unbroken, she began the process of healing and determining
     what was really important.
     Now, as an Impact Strategist, Certified Stress Management Coach and Founder of Undeniable Impact Coaching, she 
    helps impact-driven high achievers thrive in the same way that she now thrives 
    and teaches high achievers how they really can have it all - more professional
     success, more joy, more physical/mental/emotional stamina and a life in line
    with their values - as long as they know what “it all” looks like for them. 
    Her mission is to change the relationship the world has with stress, and to be 
    sure that she empowers those impact-driven to make the impact they are 
    born to make, without damaging the precious relationships and health so
     sacred to them. Her online courses are designed to create stress management
     for her students that will not only change lives, it will change future generations.

  • Dr. Renee Wellenstein on Overcoming Burnout, Boosting Energy, Balancing Hormones and Getting Your Libido Back

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Renee is a double board certified doctor who has been working with women for over 20 years and due to her own personal health challenges, she stepped outside the box of conventional medicine to take a radically different approach to heal herself from the deep depths of burnout. About a decade ago, Dr. Renee was living what she thought was her dream life; she was an extremely busy Ob/Gyn, married to a doctor, with toddler twins and had moved to a quaint,  quiet town in the country. One day in May 2012, Dr. Renee fell off of her horse during a riding lesson and broke her back. She not only struggled with severe back pain, but with fatigue and the inability to focus. Her doctor diagnosed her with depression, but her symptoms did not improve after trying two different antidepressants.


    Two years after her injury, Dr. Renee was still struggling with unexplained symptoms. After exhausting all of her options in the conventional healthcare system, she was put in contact with a doctor who was an “anti-aging” practitioner (more on that in the interview). She finally received the appropriate diagnosis, her symptoms resolved and she got back on her feet and joined the world of functional medicine. In August 2019, Dr. Renee started Kaspira Elite Health Consulting, LLC. Throughout her journey she has certainly faced her fair share of obstacles and has mastered the art of leaping into transitions with each pivot. Now Dr. Renee empowers women to take control of their health, jumpstart their energy, improve their confidence, and reignite their libido!
