  • EP 103: Freedom Unlocked
    The quest for freedom to live a full life is rooted in Yvonne’s personal journey from oppression to freedom. Having escaped the barbed wire fences and mind control of former communist Germany, she intimately understands how fear blocks our path to the life we want. With over 18 years of business development, consulting and marketing experience, she now coaches women to find the clarity they want and harness the strength they already have to live a life they choose.

    Yvonne is the CEO of Lotus Consulting, Founder of the Freedom Seeker Community and Former Managing Director of eWomen Network Alberta, one of the largest and widely recognized premier business networking organizations. Join Yvonne as she shares with Deborah, openly and honestly, how she navigated from having decisions made for her to being a decision maker. How she traded in her corporate heels for Merrills to backpack around Europe for a year.

    How she grew up, then grew down to discover who she really was, because she knew the work had to begin first with herself. She shares her story in the hopes that others will find their own. Maybe it’ll nudge them into reframing their priorities. Maybe it ultimately sets them loose into their freedom-life.

    Over the past 25-plus years, Cdr Tessier's career has included numerous sea and shore postings and participation in international exercises around the world.

  • EP 056: The Flip Flop CEO - Interview with Janine Finney
    A candid interview with Janine Finney, author of the two Best-Seller books "The Flip Flop CEO" and "Does The Show Fit."
    Janine Finney spent the first 30 years of her career as a sales executive in Corporate America. Then, at the age of 50, she began a new career that she never expected to pursue Network Marketing. When Janine's daughter, Lory, shared her desire to join a Network Marketing company after graduating from college, she quickly discovered that her mom had a very different opinion about this type of business than she did. Their strongly opposing views and the battles that ensued are what inspired them to co-author a book called, "The Flip Flop CEO", which has sold over 100,000 copies.

    Then, five years later, Janine wrote a sequel to their first book, called, "Does the Shoe Fit?". Having been a skeptic herself, Janine is passionate about bringing clarity to the 21st-century version of this "business in a box" model! She believes that many women are searching for the freedom and flexibility it provides but don't recognize it because of the topic's stigma.

    Today, Janine has designed a lifestyle that gives her the freedom to plan her work around her life, rather than her life around her work. She winters in Scottsdale, to be near her two daughters, their husbands, and her five grandchildren… and spends summers traveling in an RV with her husband, Doug. They are both avid fly fishermen.
