  • Discovering Inner Wealth | E54

    In today’s solo episode we explore the concept of 'enoughness', and the 'in-betweenness' that often defines our life paths. It's about the contrasting realities that shape us, a journey that's neither here nor there, yet a story that's as much mine as it is yours. Personal wealth isn't always measured in dollars and cents; sometimes, it's found within. This episode is more than just a personal account; it's an invitation to redefine your understanding of scarcity and abundance, and perhaps to find your own 'enoughness'. Tune in to hear how I discovered inner wealth.

  • Resilience and Transformation | E49 Ronda Taylor

    What if you sold everything you owned and bought a one way ticket to go volunteer in the jungle in Central America?  Imagine paring down 30+ years of meaningful possessions and family keepsakes to make them fit into a 10x10 storage unit. This was just the beginning of Ronda Taylor's remarkable life pivot.

    At the age of 53, she sold everything.  With a profound sense of gratitude she embarked on a journey into the unknown. Ronda speaks openly about her path to awareness, self-discovery, and about surrendering to uncertainty.  She opens up about the power of living unapologetically and authentically. 

    This new found alignment in her life is part business, part personal, part spiritual, and entirely whole-hearted.  Ultimately, her story is a testament to the strength it takes to reclaim your inner light.

  • Life's Reinventions and Embracing Authenticity | E47 Heather Hartt-Sussman

    Today, we hear the inspiring life story of Heather Hartt-Sussman.

    Heather's story is about the power of reinvention and the beauty we can find when starting over.  Through life's twists and turns, it takes courage to say yes to the unknown and equally as important, to know when to say no.

From Hollywood celebrity reporter, to juggling the demands of motherhood, to launching her new business as a picture book writing coach, Heather's experiences are a testament to the incredible resilience we all possess to be able to start again.

    No matter the destination, it's the journey that matters the most - a philosophy that Heather embodies through her own path of discovery and reinvention. Tune in to hear her empowering message that will have you asking yourself the right questions as you continue on your path to self-discovery.
