In this episode, I chat with Sandra, the amazing woman behind the Light It Up campaign. After going through some really tough experiences—like her house burning down and facing emotional challenges while working as a nurse—Sandra realized she didn’t want anyone else to feel as alone as she did. So, she created Light It Up to give hope and support to people, especially women, dealing with trauma and PTSD. Tune in to hear her story of resilience, how she found light in the darkest moments, and how she’s helping others do the same

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring journey of Kevin Palmieri, host of The Next Level University Podcast. Kevin once lived what many would consider the "ideal life"—great job, financial success, and a lifestyle that looked perfect from the outside. But beneath the surface, something was missing, and he found himself feeling unfulfilled and lost.

We explore how hitting rock bottom helped Kevin reevaluate his life and discover a new sense of purpose. Through his own transformation, Kevin found passion and joy in podcasting, eventually launching hundreds of episodes. His journey didn’t stop there; as his expertise grew, so did his desire to help others by becoming a podcast coach. Tune in to hear how Kevin turned his struggles into a mission to uplift and empower others through the world of podcasting
