Powerful On Purpose

What if cooking wasn’t a chore—but a path back to yourself? In this episode of Powerful on Purpose, Elisa Irvolino shares how cooking, creativity, and cultural connection can help women reconnect with who they truly are. From building community to honoring heritage, this conversation explores how everyday rituals can become powerful tools for healing and self-expression.

Elisa Irvolino is a Latina lifestyle creator, cultural educator, and founder of Sazón y Corazón. She helps women rediscover themselves through food, creativity, and meaningful connection. In this episode, she opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected—not just from her culture, but from herself—to creating immersive experiences that bring women back home to who they are.

You’ll hear how Elisa blends cooking with creativity to create “bougie,” sensory-rich experiences that go far beyond recipes. She shares how her virtual community, “The Casita,” brings women together across cultures to cook, connect, and grow—without pressure or perfection.

This episode is a reminder that creativity isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether through cooking, art, or simply setting a beautiful table, reconnecting with your creative self can change how you show up in your life, your family, and your purpose.

✨ Elisa also shares her simple but powerful “Dominican sazon” recipe—an easy way to bring more flavor (and joy) into your kitchen.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to build a business, you’re not alone—and it might not be a motivation problem. In this episode of Powerful on Purpose, Leslie Capps sits down with Kathleen Lawson, a business strategist who helps female solopreneurs step into their CEO role through structure, strategy, and intentional action.

Kathleen shares how many women leave corporate careers with incredible expertise—but struggle to translate that into a sustainable business. Why? Because suddenly, you’re responsible for everything: sales, marketing, systems, and delivery. Without the right business structure and routines, it’s easy to feel scattered, stuck, or constantly behind.

In this conversation, Kathleen breaks down how structure creates freedom, reduces decision fatigue, and allows you to focus on what you do best. She also shares practical strategies for getting your first clients, avoiding common startup mistakes (like overbuilding before selling), and growing your business in a way that aligns with your life.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building with clarity, this episode will give you a grounded, actionable path forward.

Free Gift: Kathleen Lawson is offering her “5 Essential Routines for Solopreneurs” to help you build structure into your business from day one.

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t mindset—but your subconscious programming and nervous system? In this episode of Powerful on Purpose, Leslie Capps sits down with Dr. Alena Candova, a subconscious reprogramming and neurocognitive specialist, to explore how neuroscience, trauma, and emotional patterns shape our reality—and how to finally shift them.

Dr. Alena shares how early life experiences wire the nervous system, creating hidden beliefs about self-worth, safety, and success that drive our behaviors today. If you’ve ever wondered why willpower isn’t enough—or why you keep repeating the same patterns—this conversation will give you a deeper understanding of what’s really happening beneath the surface.

Through her “Grace Over Grit” approach, Dr. Alena explains how real transformation comes from learning to work with your nervous system, release stored emotional energy, and reconnect with your body—not forcing change through discipline alone.

You’ll walk away with practical tools to begin regulating your nervous system, building awareness, and gently rewiring subconscious beliefs so you can step into more ease, clarity, and self-leadership.

How do we raise children who understand boundaries, body safety, and emotional intelligence? In this episode of Powerful on Purpose, host Leslie Capps sits down with Juls Bindi—survivor, entrepreneur, author, and founder of EQ Kid Books—to talk about why teaching consent, emotional awareness, and trusting your voice needs to start early.

Juls is the author of the children’s book My Body My Rules, designed to help kids ages 4–10 understand body safety, boundaries, and emotional intelligence in a way that empowers them. Her mission was born from deeply personal experiences and the realization that children don’t just listen to what we say—they regulate through our nervous systems and learn from how we show up.

In this conversation, Juls shares her journey through trauma, rebuilding her life as a single mom and entrepreneur, and becoming one of the first women to publicly speak out against Harvey Weinstein before the #MeToo movement gained global attention. Her story is ultimately about transformation, resilience, and turning pain into purpose.

Leslie and Juls also explore the importance of teaching children emotional intelligence, how parents can help kids understand consent and personal boundaries, and why EQ may be one of the most important skills for the next generation.

If you’re a parent, educator, or someone who believes in raising confident, emotionally aware kids, this conversation will give you new insights and practical perspective.
