  • Near death experience and near life decisions

    Our guest: Sean Smith, author, speaker, actor, poet, songwriter, and the owner of Elite Success Systems. He is dedicated to creating “neuro-transformation” in all areas of human behavior. Sean has produced over 3,000 articles, audio files, and video resources on topics related to success and leadership, with over 1,000,000 views on YouTube. He has spoken globally and was named “North America’s Next Greatest Speaker” in 2013.

    Sean co-wrote, produced, and starred in a unique spoken-word, short film, Let’s Grow, about healing racism. He is also known for his gut-wrenching, one-man show, I Do, Mom.

    “I am a father and husband first, speaker and coach second. I am thoroughly flawed, cracked and mired with as many internal blocks and challenges as the rest of us. I’m a recovering perfectionist, I have a PhD in procrastination, and I sabotage myself on a daily basis.

    But, I am completely fascinated with figuring out this game of life, how the human mind works, why we hold ourselves back, and teaching other people what I learn along the way.

    My main business obsession is helping entrepreneurs get rid of their fears, values conflicts, limiting beliefs and sabotaging patterns so they can live life with passion, presence and purpose.”

  • Feminism and the patriarchy? New input for the echo chamber

    Our guest: Julie Gohring is a feminine leadership & sales coach. She teaches women how to radically shift their mindset so they can be more effective in selling and bring forth their natural feminine superpowers to find more freedom & fun in sales. She is also the creator of the Selling is FeminineTM Selling Framework delivered in her Selling Is FeminineTM Live Training Course.

    Julie graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Biology and has been selling for over 30 years and coaching women for the last 10 years. Her teachings are informed by her 1000’s of sales experiences across different industries including Fortune 500 companies, Pharmaceutical & Bio Tech Giants and for her own business.

    One of her core teachings, contrary to the common idea that selling is competitive and aggressive, is that the most successful selling is always grounded in connecting and caring for your client and this fact makes women naturally gifted at sales.

    When she’s not sharing her passion for the feminine rising in sales, she spends her time surfing, meandering the beach at sunset, and listening to the monkeys howl at her home in Costa Rica.

  • Marriage: lifetime covenant OR lease option? (part 2 with Staci Bartley)

    Jen’s website:

    www.beingREAL.me

    Jen’s Instagram:

    @beingREALjen

    Our guest for this episode:

    Staci Bartley, Relationship Expert

    Guest Bio: 

    After more than 25 years of  personal struggle, shame, and guilt...I can honestly say I'm proud of my messy past. Because, it has given me the wisdom, knowledge, and the gifts to contribute to my clients. Trust me when I say I've lived many of the struggles that I now support and mentor my clients through. Including losing my dad at the age of 7, becoming a mom at 17, going through 2 divorces, and raising 6 children as a single mom. (Yes, I have a PhD in the school of life! In addition to my PhD- I am an Integrated Therapist, as well as a Divorce Mediator -incase you were needing some formal credentials too.:)

    I empower couples and individuals from around the world to embrace their humanness, and love full out with NO regrets. We are not broken, we have just never been taught how to "do" relationships. This NOT knowing allows us to leverage and manipulate ourselves and our partners in the name of LOVE. It's time to stop spreading the lies and romantic stories that are just that: falsehoods and storybook fantasies that make us feel like we aren't good enough. Because the truth is: creating Love For A Lifetime looks nothing like fairy tales and movies.

    If you're looking to really understand how relationships work, and learn real skills you can use for the rest of your life from a person who has LIVED what you're going through, then you can stop searching, because you've finally found the help you've been looking for.

    The origin story of Listen for REAL and the change we seek to create:

    I am described as a white, cisgendered, straight-identifying, American-born woman with a history of Christian and conservative influences. My lived experience is one of solid economic security and educational privilege. This is the lens through which I viewed life  for the majority of my adult years - and it created a comfortable echo chamber where “my existing views were neatly reinforced and alternative ideas were rarely considered…”

    I decided to pursue meaningful work, passion projects, and relationships that would serve as an antidote to the echo chamber. This podcast is part of that work.

    Rather than put people in stereotypical  “boxes” -  I want to grow more curious and openminded and this means listening deeply to another person’s story, especially those who differ from me. It means challenging my old paradigms and assumptions.

    I pursue this on a public platform because I want to see this mindset catch fire in our culture. We want to spur listeners toward healthy, candid conversations, and deep LISTENING with and for the people  in their lives and especially those whom they don’t know.

    I am hopeful that the “antidote to the echo chamber” becomes a mantra for others - creating profound change. Thanks for being a part of this vision! -Jen
