In this riveting episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa sits down with Damion Lupo—a serial entrepreneur, financial disruptor, and founder of over 70 companies—for an unfiltered conversation on failure, wealth, and the mindset that separates surviving from thriving.

Damion shares his raw journey from losing a $20 million portfolio and facing homelessness to rebuilding a 9-figure empire across real estate, construction, retirement systems, and beyond. With wisdom born from the fire, he breaks down how failure became his greatest teacher and how strategic patience and purpose-driven action now guide every move he makes.

From launching his first business at 11 to revolutionizing construction through his company FrameTec, Damion reveals the core mindset shifts that fuel long-term success—including how to avoid costly wealth-building mistakes, why trust is the real currency in leadership, and why choosing progress over perfection can unlock your next level.

Whether you’re navigating setbacks or scaling new heights, this episode will challenge how you view wealth, leadership, and purpose—and invite you to redefine success on your own terms.

Key Takeaways:

• Why hitting rock bottom was the catalyst for Damion’s exponential growth
• The 2 biggest mindset mistakes that sabotage wealth (and how to avoid them)
• How to align business with mission and create value-driven empires
• The real reason trust—not transactions—is the foundation of leadership

What happens when the job ends—but the grief lingers?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Alisa sits down with Laverne McKinnon, a seasoned television executive turned Executive & Leadership Coach, to unpack a rarely discussed topic: career grief—a form of disenfranchised grief that emerges when we experience professional losses like being laid off, fired, or pushed out of leadership.

Laverne vulnerably shares her personal story of being unexpectedly fired from her role as Senior Vice President of Drama Development at CBS, after overseeing one of the network’s most successful years. With a deep background in television—including producing credits like the Netflix series GIRLBOSS and helping launch original programming at EPIX—Laverne's journey offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it means to lose your footing at the top and still rise again.

Together, Dr. Alisa and Laverne explore:

• What career grief looks like and why it often goes unnoticed
• The identity crisis and trauma that follow job loss
• How grief affects both the body and brain
• Visible vs. hidden losses during career transitions
• Practical rituals and mindset tools to support emotional recovery
• The tasks of grief that lead to clarity, purpose, and a new beginning

From entrepreneurs mourning failed launches to professionals navigating forced retirements, this conversation offers soul-deep wisdom and actionable steps to honor your losses—and come back stronger. If you’ve ever questioned your worth after a career shake-up, this episode is for you.

In this transformative episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa sits down with The People Expert, Shannon Clark Johnston, to explore how a life-altering diagnosis of transverse myelitis—leaving her paralyzed at age 30—became the catalyst for profound mindset and lifestyle transformation.

Together, they dive into the powerful connection between mind and body, discussing how unaddressed stress and misaligned living can impact our physical health. Both Dr. Alisa and Shannon share personal experiences with autoimmune conditions, shedding light on the emotional and physiological toll of suppressing one’s truth.

This episode goes deep into what it really means to be resilient. Shannon unpacks why resilience isn’t about “bouncing back” but about building forward momentum—through small, intentional actions that compound over time. From daily reset rituals and redefining confidence, to overcoming limiting beliefs around fitness, Shannon reveals how success is cultivated through mindset shifts and consistency—not perfection.

You’ll also hear an honest reflection on life transitions, motherhood, and letting go of the need to have it all figured out before taking action. Shannon offers a practical and powerful mindset takeaway on silencing the inner critic—by naming it.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

• Navigating life after paralysis and redefining leadership
• The mind-body connection and emotional suppression
• Building resilience and confidence through habits
• Overcoming fitness fears and reclaiming your body
• Embracing change, redefining success, and moving forward
• Managing self-talk and curating a supportive environment
