July 13, 2026 The Story You're Afraid to Tell Might Change Someone's Life
At 18, I went back to a learning center to learn how to read. Books terrified me. Becoming an author was never in the stars.
Then I wrote Grateful Leadership with these two.
Alex Demczak and Will Severns met as summer camp counselors and built ShareYourStory.com, a story-to-stage pipeline that's helped over 250 authors get their message out. But the book was just the outcome. The journey was the thing.
In this episode, I share the chapter-two moment I've never told anyone: how asking "why am I even writing this?" dissolved my imposter syndrome in a single sitting.
In this episode:
Why "I'm not a writer" is the wrong identity to write from
Writing a book doesn't create credibility, it uncovers it
The moment my "why" rewrote my whole process
Hidden impact and the email you never saw coming
Why community after the book matters more than the book
To share your story is to serve
You don't become somebody when you write the book. You already are somebody.

July 06, 2026The Health Mistake Almost Everyone Is Making
Happy Mindset Monday!
This episode is about what happens when health becomes more than a diet.
I sat down with Samantha Lander, founder of See Fit Living, Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, recovery advocate, DJ, community builder, and someone who knows what it means to rebuild from the inside out.
Sam shares her story of addiction, recovery, relapse, and how her own health struggles led her into functional wellness. She talks openly about substance use, rehab, sobriety, alcohol, gut health, nervous system regulation, and why so many people are doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel good.
We talk about:
Why food is not the enemy, it is information
How gut health can affect brain fog, anxiety, mood, energy, and performance
Why nervous system regulation can be the missing piece in healing
Why “diet” language can create shame, and how to build a lifestyle instead
How purpose can close the gap between knowing better and doing better
What sober community and wellness events can create for people who are craving connection
Sam’s work through See Fit Living focuses on root-cause health, functional lab testing, gut health, hormones, fatigue, weight loss resistance, nutrition, and stress management.
This episode is real, practical, and deeply human.

June 29, 2026 Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Tries to Forget
Happy Mindset Monday!
I thought my heart was open. Five days with Pearly Montague taught me it wasn't.
Pearly is a TEDx speaker and healer who works with people around the world. After a near-death experience, she developed what she describes as a rare form of synesthesia, the ability to see trauma held in the body in colors and structures. She's collaborated with doctors like Zach Bush and Dr. Nasha Winters.
This is one of the most personal conversations I've had on the show.
In this episode:
Why the inner work comes before the outer work
How Pearly describes trauma stored in the body and passed down generationally
Would you let others speak to you the way you speak to yourself?
Choosing connection over convenience
My knee story and the stories our bodies keep telling
Happiness as a byproduct, not a goal
The gratitude and movement practices Pearly leans on

June 22, 2026I Waited 30 Years to Face My Father...
Happy Mindset Monday!
Some stories don’t just inspire you.
They challenge you to look at what you’re still carrying.
In this episode of Living The Sweet Life, I sit down with Quincy Moore, also known as Mr. Resilience, for a conversation about fatherlessness, forgiveness, faith, and the kind of freedom that comes when you stop waiting for an apology to heal. Quincy’s work is built around helping people Recognize, Reframe, and Rise through adversity.
Quincy shares the life-changing moment when he saw his biological father after almost 30 years and chose forgiveness instead of bitterness. That moment became the foundation for his message, his book, and his mission to help people rise above what tried to break them.
In this episode, we explore:
What resilience really means when life hurts
Why forgiveness is not about excusing someone else, but freeing yourself
How fatherlessness impacts identity, confidence, and connection
Why presence is one of the greatest gifts a father can give
Quincy’s framework: Recognize. Reframe. Rise.
How to become the example you never had
If this episode speaks to you, send it to someone who needs to know their past does not get the final word.

June 15, 2026 The Reason Most People Never Start
Happy Mindset Monday!
This is the second time Deb Drummond and I recorded this episode. The first time, the tech failed. Deb just said: "It wasn't meant to be out then. This one is."
That's who Deb is.
She's built seven international companies. Spoken to audiences of 20,000. Worked with over 30,000 clients. And she owns the Women's Channel.
Her message is simple but powerful: Mission Accepted.
Deb said: "The power lies within the person who says yes. And so does the responsibility. And so does the rewards."
In this episode:
The origin of "Mission Accepted"
Why all-in means all-in
The messy middle
The Scottish proverb that changes everything
Why you need your "posse"
How to be seen and visible
Asking "how" instead of "what"
The power of verbiage
The nightly ritual with her son

June 08, 2026I Walked Away From a Six-Figure Career to Start Over
Happy Mindset Monday!
High achievement can look successful and still feel empty.
In this episode, I sit down with Angelica Ventrice, TEDx speaker and high performance coach, to talk about what really happens when your worth gets attached to productivity, and why reinvention is often the price of alignment.
You’ll hear:
How high achievers lose themselves, and how to come back to the real you
Why boundaries and presence matter more than another hustle tactic
How identity transformation actually works: awareness, acceptance, embodiment, mastery
A powerful reminder to stop postponing connection and start showing up fully for what matters most

June 01, 2026Why Nobody Feels Seen Anymore
Happy Mindset Monday!

In this episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet sits down with repeat guest Jeff Robbins to unpack the experience economy and why loyalty is built through presence, not just performance.
Jeff shares a simple but powerful framework through coffee: commodity, product, service, and then experience, where people decide based on the senses and how they feel in the moment.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
The difference between satisfaction and loyalty, and why loyalty is the real growth engine
Why clients may rave even with average outcomes if they felt supported and connected during the journey
How leaders can build trust by being predictive and pattern-driven instead of reactive
Why serving hurt and vulnerable people requires presence and clarity, not just metrics

Happy Mindset Monday!
Success that looks good on paper isn’t enough. It has to feel fulfilling.
In this episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet sits down with executive coach and keynote speaker Jeff Koziatek to unpack what really drives high performers: worth, identity, and the pressure to prove yourself.

You’ll hear:
How to turn adversity into advantage in business, leadership, and life
The Champion vs Challenger mindset and the “worth meter” concept
Why personal growth is the operating system that determines whether leadership tools actually work
Why connection is built through safety, vulnerability, and consistent encouragement

May 18, 2026 The High Achiever Trap Nobody Talks About
Happy Mindset Monday!
Dr. Mamta Bhatt changed how I think about joy.
She was a Harvard-trained scientist living the high-flying life. Private planes. Boardrooms with Rockefellers. The youngest person in the room.
Then one day, she couldn't get up from bed. That's how debilitating the fatigue became.
She went to live in a monastery. And one morning, she saw a sunrise. Inside her, a voice yearned: "What would it be to be happy?"
She was looking at the sunrise. She had a smile on her face.
And a voice inside her said: "But you are happy."
She said: "I can have joy and I can still have a body that's not well. I didn't know to hold the two together."
From that moment, she chose joy.
Within 90 days, she healed herself with food as medicine.
In this episode:
The hidden cost of high achievement
The moment she couldn't get up
Living in a monastery
The crushing of identity
"I am a ball of massive golden light - just energy"
The sunrise moment: choosing joy
Food is medicine
"I had a long list of accomplishments but I abandoned myself in the process"
Learning to love yourself
Writing 10 things you're grateful for every day
Breath work
Purpose beyond yourself

May 11, 2026 You Are Allowed: The So Muchness with Kim Becking
Happy Mindset Monday!
Kim Becking changed my life.
She talks about the so muchness. That overwhelmed, exhausted, can't catch your breath feeling. The 247 world we're in where our bodies and brains aren't made for it.
And you are allowed. Permission to feel both sides. Frustrated and grateful. Overwhelmed and hopeful. Scared and excited.
Kim was diagnosed with breast cancer at 30. Her friend Patty gave her a handwritten note. Patty died at 29. That note has been passed out to over 800,000 people.
In this episode:
The so muchness
You are allowed (both sides)
Sustainable resilience vs powering through
Grace with grit
Momentum micro moves
Naming your inner critic
Pre-recovery and post-recovery
Celebrating attempts
