When we hit the magical 5-0 milestone and become empty nesters, many call this the "second act."  For Celeste Hilling, a highly recognized and accomplished CEO in San Diego County, her second act began much earlier.  After proving herself as a senior executive and one of the first officers of a large technology company, Celeste left behind her career to follow a personal passion and start out on her own in an industry totally foreign to her.  Celeste was witnessing many people she cared about get sick with cancer and other illnesses.  Instead of watching and wondering, she wanted to learn and do something about it.  Celeste removed herself from the sidelines and forged on a mission of helping others stay healthy and feel their absolute best.  She studied for several years with top researchers, and soon thereafter launched her company-- Skin Authority.  Celeste talks about taking this leap and how it affected her identity and initial confidence level-- a growth and transitional milestone that many of us face as we decide "what's next."   Skin Authority has become a national presence in a very competitive industry, and Celeste has become a passionate and strong voice for other women who are looking to make bold choices, follow their hearts and passions, as well as make a difference in others.  With a relatable personal story and journey, coupled with an empowering take on what we need to know about health and skin care, this episode will provide both entertainment and an education on important personal and everyday considerations.

We all discuss and hear the term "Mindset."  We read books and repost quotes on social media on the regular.  However, unless we go deeper to address the core as to why we are truly feeling a certain way, addressing just our mindset can be important but fleeting.  Diane Chandler, a spiritual psychologist and life coach, has been through difficult times, personal trauma and even an identity crisis in her own life.  As the daughter and wife of two former NFL quarterbacks, she spent several years working on connecting her mind, body and spirit to effectively work towards a happier, more authentic and honest approach to her relationships with others, herself and the world around her.  Diane, who now works with numerous clients in navigating their life journeys, discusses looking beyond the "goal lines" and working towards one's "soul line."  It's a powerful story and interview that inspires honest reflection and introspection, and more importantly is a refreshing and vulnerable anthem to loving others and ourselves.
