Do you feel like there’s more to life than what you’re experiencing right now? Are you feeling stuck because you don’t know where to start? In this episode with Certified Life Coach Pamela D. Smith, we talk about how you can change your life without quitting your job, hitting the lottery or some unique twist of fate.
Pamela D. Smith is a certified life coach and author of several books including her newest publication, Harvesting Your Pearls. and my On Purpose anthology series.
A champion of personal growth, Pam helps women reach their full potential and become whole in every area of life. As a divorced mother of two working in the airline industry, Pam was frustrated and ready to quit her job when she discovered the power of changing her environment without changing her environment. That led to several promotions, including one that unlocked her purpose, and later getting her life coaching certification and launching a business while still working full-time.

How have your life experiences shaped your behavior professionally? As a leader, have you ever been criticized for being too harsh? Are you always trying to prove that you’re worthy?

Growing up, Veronica experienced living in three group homes, two foster homes and a juvenile detention center before being declared an emancipated minor at 15. Always a leader and a gifted student, her life began to change after meeting the first of several influential women who came into her life.
Instead of using her background as a crutch, Veronica took advantage of the opportunities to succeed that presented themselves. But it didn’t come without challenges. Veronica shares how the scars of her past threatened her ability to be an effective leader and what she did about it.

Order On Purpose:12 Strategies to Reclaim Your Purpose and Change Your Life featuring Sarah Adams
La’Vista Jones is the Founder and CEO of 31 Marketplace, where she helps entrepreneurs bring order to the chaos of business and life by blending systematization and self care. In this episode, La’Vista discusses when the notion of self care became real for her as a person on the fast track in her corporate career and the day she, in her own words, “lost her mind” and how 31 Marketplace was born out of that experience.
La’Vista speaks about how to build your business in a way that is nurturing to you as the founder and getting you to see that your vision is NOT a solo gig. She will show you that you have the capacity to fulfill the vision that you have for your business and take care of the Visionary at the same time; giving you permission not to subscribe to the habits of hustle culture and the glorification of busyness.
In the episode I talk to La’Vista about:
● Why entrepreneurship isn’t necessarily the answer to your workplace stress. ● How we break ourselves of the mindset of busyness and #TeamNoSleep as an entrepreneur. ● Using systems and automation to replicate yourself and eliminate low value work that creates busyness in our lives and business. ● Identifying your personal definition of self care and surprising ways to infuse it into your business.
La’Vista is also one of the co-authors of my new book, On Purpose: 12 Strategies to Reclaim Your Power and Change Your Life.

Social media can make it seem like successful entrepreneurs wake up one day, make a decision to quit their jobs and pursue their dreams and within months, they’re millionaires jet-setting around the world. But those of us who have started businesses know that’s a fairy tale.
Dr. Erika Brown of Dr. Erika By Design walked away from Corporate America a year ago to launch her business and reclaim control of her mental health. She soon discovered that the rules for success she was used to following in the workplace didn’t always apply to entrepreneurship.
During our conversation, Dr. Erika speaks vulnerably about entrepreneurship, being able to see the vision, overcoming roadblocks and celebrating successes while giving yourself grace to “figure it all out”.
In the episode I talk to Dr. Erika about:
Make sure you stay until the end where Dr. Erika shares advice for those of you who have recently or are thinking about quitting their 9 to 5’s. Dr. Erika is also one of the co-authors of my new book, On Purpose: 12 Strategies to Reclaim Your Power and Change Your Life.
