Wow!… this episode is something special

I got to sit down with Richmond Dinh — and let me tell you, his story blew me away. He used to be an optometrist (yep, eye doctor!) for 10 years, but deep down, it wasn’t his dream. Then he hit rock bottom. I’m talking lost-over-a-million-dollars kind of rock bottom.

But instead of giving up, he took his last $50,000 and spent it all on personal development. Fast forward to now? He’s a coach with an 8-figure business — and he’s helping others do the same.

We talk about so much in this episode:

• How to start small, even if you have zero followers

• Why being around the right people can change your life

• What to do when you're scared to take action

• And how to give without expecting anything in return

He also breaks down his method called the “Tiny Challenge” — which helps new coaches grow fast without needing fancy funnels or big audiences. Honestly, it’s genius.

I even share a bit of my own story too — how I walked away from a successful family business because I felt totally unfulfilled. Richmond and I have a lot in common, and this chat got real. Like, goosebumps real.

If you’ve ever thought, “There’s gotta be more to life than this,” then you need to hear this one.

Thanks for being here. I’m so glad we get to grow together.

Welcome back to Rise, Shine & Redefine! It’s just me—Caryn—in today’s solo episode, and I’m finally sharing something I’ve been holding close to my heart for a long time: my journey to Costa Rica for an Ayahuasca retreat.

This experience has been calling me for years… and now, I’m taking you behind the scenes of everything that led up to it.

Before I even stepped into the ceremony space, there was a lot to navigate—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

From choosing the right retreat and facing deep-seated health anxieties, to having tough conversations with my family and committing to the pre-ceremony diet (yes, goodbye coffee and sugar!), this journey stretched me before it even began.

I also open up about the fears that came up traveling solo, what it felt like to leave my comfort zone behind, and the powerful intentions I set around healing generational trauma, reconnecting with soul-aligned energy, and stepping into my feminine power in a deeper way.

This episode is raw, honest, and personal—and it’s just the beginning.

It kicks off a multi-part series where I’ll be walking you through the full arc of my plant medicine journey: not just the ceremonies themselves, but all the inner work that made them possible.

If you’ve ever been curious about ayahuasca, soul growth, or what it really takes to answer a spiritual calling, this one’s for you.

Hit play—and let’s rise, shine, and redefine—together.

Hey friend!

Welcome back to another soul-fueling episode of Rise, Shine & Redefine! Today we’re talking all things confidence, connection, and showing up like the bold, brilliant light you are.

I sat down with the incredible Rebecca Styles—life artist, opera singer, and co-founder of Elegance Artistry Group—and oh my goodness... this conversation is pure gold

We dive into:

How to network like a total rockstar (even if you're shy!)

The #1 thing you need to build real connections (hint: it’s not your business card)

How to walk into a room full of strangers with confidence

What to do when you're scared to scale your biz or delegate

The power of energetics + presence when building your business and personal brand

Whether you're an introvert, a mama trying to juggle it all, or a CEO ready to level up your leadership—this one’s for YOU.

Rebecca and I keep it real with stories, laughs, and the kind of tips you’ll want to scribble on sticky notes and put on your mirror.

And trust me, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in the room—we’re here to remind you that you DO.

So throw on your boldest lipstick (or sparkliest sneakers), take a deep breath, and press play. This episode will lift your spirit, spark your courage, and help you rise, shine, and redefine what success means on your terms. 🌟

Hit play and don’t forget to share this with your biz bestie who needs a boost of bravery today!

Hey!

Welcome back to another episode of Rise, Shine, and Redefine! Today’s conversation is one that lit my soul on fire… and it just might do the same for you.

I sat down with Luis— Amazing Entrepreneur & my Podcast Guy!—for a no-fluff, full-energy deep dive into what it really takes to find your voice, launch your platform, and thrive in the wild world of podcasting.

Yes… I finally caved and wore the headphones (shoutout to Luis for the gentle peer pressure 😅).

But that moment symbolized something bigger: stepping fully into the role of creator, storyteller, and leader.

In this episode, Luis and I peel back the curtain on:

How to overcome imposter syndrome and show up with confidence

What nobody tells you about growing your audience (even if you're starting from zero)

The art of inviting high-level guests—and getting YESes

Simple ways to monetize without selling your soul

Why podcasting is so much more than a mic and a message

Luis shares his raw, unfiltered journey—from battling self-doubt to building a powerful platform that opens doors and changes lives. This isn’t just a conversation about podcasting—it’s about permission. To speak. To lead. To shine.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast (or reigniting the one collecting dust), this episode will give you the spark, the strategy, and the soul to go all in.

Hit play, take notes, and get ready to rise, shine, and redefine what’s possible with your voice.

Today we chat with my good friend, Makhosi. We dive into the art of alignment in both business and life.

Together, they celebrate stepping into your true self, breaking free from societal "shoulds," and creating businesses that offer real freedom and self-expression.

We discuss why many entrepreneurs build businesses from survival or outside expectations, and explore how reconnecting with our childhood essence can help realign our purpose.

The conversation took us to what it means to niche down—not just on what you do, but on who you are. Your unique energy is your strongest magnet for clients and opportunities.

Makhosi redefines luxury, seeing it not as flashy or status-driven, but as an extraordinary, meaningful experience rooted in time, freedom, and depth.

If you’re ready to embrace your uniqueness and add 1% more authenticity to your day, this episode is for you.

Enjoy!
