Power Up Your Life® Podcast by GoBundance Women

Confidence and Cash Flow: Transforming Setbacks Into Financial Independence | Power Up Your Life Podcast | Powered by GoBundance | Episode 58 with Heather Monahan Creating

Confidence After Job Loss 🚀

🌟 Welcome to the Power Up Your Life Podcast! Join hosts Kelly Resendez and Mandy McAllister as they interview keynote speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host Heather Monahan about building confidence and personal agency through major life and career pivots!

Heather shares her journey from corporate sales to becoming a top 50 keynote speaker, including being fired in 2018 after 14 years at a publicly traded media company, reframing that moment as redirection, and launching her books (Confidence Creator and Overcome Your Villains), a top 10 SiriusXM health and wellness podcast ("Creating Confidence"), and a speaking business. She outlines practical frameworks for navigating adversity: asking for help, using social media to activate your network, reframing rejection as protection and a learning signal, and her BAK process—Belief (challenge and reframe limiting beliefs), Action (take immediate steps), and Knowledge (feed your mind with uplifting inputs and mentors).

The conversation also covers making an identity shift from corporate to entrepreneurship, handling rejection (including pitching 100 TEDx events before improving her pitch and landing one), avoiding perfectionism, leading with vulnerability, and setting personal boundaries through an “energy audit” of relationships.

Humanizing Leadership and Women’s Financial Empowerment | Power Up Your Life Podcast | Powered by GoBundance | Episode 57 with Meredith Parfet

Crisis CEO & Hospice Chaplain Meredith Parfet on Regret, Leadership & the “Next Right Thing”

In this inspiring episode of the Power Up You Life Podcast, hosts Kelly Resendez and Mandy McAllister interview Meredith Parfait, CEO of Ravenyard Group and a humanist hospice chaplain/death doula. Meredith shares how a business failure led to grief, identity change, and lessons from the dying—especially to avoid regret by saying what matters. She offers tools for crisis and clarity (“What is my priority here?” and “What’s the next right thing?”), explains “barrier vs. detonator” crisis styles, and reframes leadership as being ordinary and humanizing others. She encourages women to help each other through radical generosity, asking for help, and “tying each other’s shoes,” and encourages listeners to express appreciation and love more openly.

This is one you won’t want to miss!
