In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lynn Colepaugh, a brand strategist, former touring musician, and the creative force behind Cyber PR Army. Lynn shared two powerful quotes that act as her personal filters for life: "Just because you could doesn’t mean you should," and the ever-challenging, "Why not?" Through her heartfelt stories—like turning down a dream trip to Japan for the sake of her family—Lynn showed how these mantras guide her in making choices aligned with her values. We explored how balancing ambition and boundaries can help you avoid being swept away by the “currents” of societal pressure, and why asking “why not?” can push us past fear or inertia. If you’ve ever struggled with decision-making or finding motivation, Lynn’s approach to discerning life’s opportunities will inspire you to both honor your limits and embrace possibility. Tune in for an honest, practical discussion that will help you shape your own guiding wisdom.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had an energizing conversation with branding visionary Rich Kozak. Rich opened up about his mission to help heart-centered entrepreneurs and individuals realize their divine purpose and boost the positive impact of their work. His guiding mantra, “Now is the time to define the brand you will become,” reframes branding as so much more than marketing or making money—it's about crafting a legacy that resonates deeply with the people you most want to serve. Rich also shares a powerful perspective: at a certain point, branding becomes “God’s work,” a higher calling driven by our desire to make a difference. Whether you’re leading a company or finding your own path, Rich’s wisdom on evolving your brand’s perception will help you align passion, purpose, and service. With actionable insights and heartfelt stories, this episode will inspire you to see branding as a tool for meaningful impact, not just business success.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sayen Gates, a life coach and doula from South Carolina—and the host of the Shadow Corner podcast. Sayen shared two powerful quotes that guide her journey: “It will all make sense one day” (author unknown), and Maya Angelou’s wise words, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Her stories remind us that the road to transformation isn’t always straightforward, and the challenges we face often have meaning that’s only clear in hindsight. Sayen candidly opened up about how these quotes shaped her path—both in discovering her own voice through poetry and embracing the process behind her growth. For anyone feeling stuck or overlooking their journey’s value, this episode is an invitation to honor your struggles and appreciate the resilience it takes to evolve. There’s so much wisdom here for listeners seeking courage to embrace every stage of their own metamorphosis.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Massimo Rigotti, a confidential recovery specialist and author, whose powerful mantra, “Start now. Don’t waste time. Waiting until tomorrow to begin is a tremendous misuse of life,” becomes the heartbeat of our conversation. Massimo shares how his father’s simple but persistent advice became a guiding force through his own journey from addiction to advocacy, helping high performers find confidence in sobriety. We dig into the procrastination traps we set for ourselves, especially when facing big changes or overcoming addiction, and how often our idea of a “better time” holds us back from real growth. Massimo’s insights show that the only way to gain confidence and clarity is by starting, even if you don’t feel ready or perfect. Whether you’re battling a visible addiction or struggling with subtler habits that steal your potential, this episode offers practical wisdom, real talk about embracing discomfort, and a reminder that authentic progress begins with imperfect action—right now.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with George Cisneros—missionary, adventurer, and father of nine—who shares the powerful mantra: “You are not your past.” George’s story takes us from his childhood struggles with belonging, through his experience trading the American dream for a life serving others in Guatemala, to embracing risk and adventure in every season of his life. We dive deep into the idea that our identities are not anchored in past mistakes or old narratives, and how reframing our memories can unlock new meaning and healing. George opens up about what it means to embrace failure, why comfort can numb our senses, and the extraordinary growth and satisfaction found on the edge of discomfort. If you’re seeking practical inspiration to break free from limiting beliefs, face fears, and grow through adventure—whether big or small—this conversation is for you. Prepare to leave with a few actionable quotes and a renewed sense of possibility for your own journey.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I’m joined by Roman Lewcke, a resilient entrepreneur whose journey spans continents and industries—from pioneering nanotech in Mexico to rebuilding his life as a digital nomad in Bali. Roman shares the quote that has guided him through upheaval and reinvention: “You can’t discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” In our conversation, Roman opens up about the power of embracing uncertainty, recounting his bold decision to leave Germany at 19, build a business from scratch, and start over after hitting rock bottom. He dives deep into why courage and risk-taking are essential for growth, and how true wisdom is often found in our moments of struggle. Whether you’re facing your own crossroads or simply seeking fresh inspiration, Roman’s story is a compelling reminder that real transformation begins when we’re willing to set sail into the unknown—and that even rock bottom can be a strong foundation for new beginnings.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Dr. Kristen Williamson, a licensed professional counselor whose personal journey with late-diagnosed autism and ADHD has fueled her advocacy work. Kristen shares her self-penned mantra, "We are different, but different does not equal less," a powerful reminder that challenges the stigma about neurodivergence and celebrates every unique mind. Dr. Kristen unpacks how embracing her differences—and encouraging others to do the same—helped her discover genuine connection, self-acceptance, and joy. Her story shows that life isn’t about shrinking ourselves to fit in, but about finding the courage to stand tall, ask questions, and value our individual strengths. Listeners will walk away feeling inspired to embrace what makes them different and to support others in doing the same. Kristen’s wisdom is both practical and uplifting—a true testament to the beauty of thinking and living outside the box.

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Cheryl Stelte, a spiritual coach and master healer who has dedicated over 30 years to guiding women past their deepest subconscious blocks. Cheryl’s favorite quote—“We really don’t need to push harder. We just need to align deeper”—sets the tone for a heartfelt conversation about the difference between hustling out of alignment versus working from a sense of inner purpose. Cheryl shares her journey from exhausted entrepreneur to living her soul’s calling, including the pivotal moment she realized that relentless effort wasn’t the answer. Instead, finding alignment and clearing the blocks underneath led her to fulfillment, resilience, and joy. For anyone who has ever felt burnt out or wondered if they’re on the right path, Cheryl’s story and actionable insight on using breathwork for deeper connection offer both comfort and a practical roadmap. Tune in to discover how letting go of old narratives and tuning in to your true self can transform your life from the inside out.

On this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Kristof Morrow—Navy veteran, bestselling author, and award-winning journalist who writes with Tourette’s—to journey through the power of understanding, trust, and storytelling. Kristof brings to light his favorite guiding quote inspired by Steinbeck: “My mission as a writer is to help people understand one another.” We explore how literature and art humanize us, reveal our shared experiences, and break down the barriers that often keep us isolated. Kristof also shares his own powerful mantra, “Justice and redemption are folly, but to seek them is not,” and the raw, personal story of how witnessing injustice towards a loved one shaped his view on the imperfect pursuit of justice. It’s a conversation rich with wisdom on turning pain into purpose and why seeking understanding—even when it seems impossible—is always worthwhile. Whether you’re a reader, a writer, or someone searching for meaning in the messiness, Kristof’s reflections will resonate and inspire you to look deeper at your own quest for connection and healing.
