50 min - Why Accumulation Isn't Wealth: A Fiduciary's Take on Money with Doug Vowels
Money isn't about how much you accumulate. It's about alignment.
Doug Vowels, a certified financial planner and fiduciary advisor with two decades of experience serving high-net worth families, joins Rebecca Fitzsimmons to expose what most people get wrong about wealth. He's seen clients with $20 million feel anxious and clients with $500,000 feel completely at peace. The difference has nothing to do with the number in the account.
Doug shares the story behind his career: watching his family lose a multi million dollar farm due to a lack of estate planning. That loss became his mission. Now he helps clients build wealth with intention, starting with vision instead of numbers.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why chasing more money without a clear vision is a losing game
- The real difference between a fiduciary advisor and a commission based rep
- Why relationships, not portfolios, drive the best financial outcomes
- The daily practice Doug uses to stay grounded and focused
- How to define what wealth actually means for your life
If money brings up fear, pressure, or confusion for you, this conversation will shift how you see it.
Win more, stress less.

37 min - Rock Bottom to Inner Mastery: The Mindset Shift Most Leaders Miss with Nami Prakash
After hitting rock bottom on a New York City closet floor, Nami Prakash built the mindset framework high performers use to lead from within. Former NCIS Special Agent Rebecca Fitzsimmons sits down with the founder of the Mind Quotient and author of Healing with Courage for a conversation on leadership, mindset, and personal development that moves fast and hits deep.
After 20 plus years in corporate leadership, Nami learned strategy alone fails.
She introduces MQ, the third quotient. IQ gets you in the room. EQ reads the room. MQ leads the room.

You will learn:
- You will learn the two kinds of self-awareness almost no one talks about
- Why your strategy fails without inner alignment
- The mindset shift behind courageous leadership
Nami shares the cure hidden inside your pain and the one piece of advice she lives by.

56 min - The Nona in the Kitchen: An Emmy Winner's Framework for Finding Your Voice with Ken Fay
Leadership, mindset, and storytelling collide in this conversation with Emmy-winning filmmaker Ken Fay. Rebecca sits down with Ken to explore how high performers find their voice, build resilience, and lead with authenticity.
Ken has shaped stories for decades across commercial advertising, documentaries, and narrative features. He earned an Emmy for a documentary he wrote and directed about healing in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy. He also lived through the Las Vegas shooting at Mandalay Bay and witnessed the human spirit rise from the worst moments.
Three takeaways from this episode:
- The Nona in the Kitchen framework. The person, moment, or reason behind your work is your real story. Find it and your brand finds its voice.
- Resilience is the through line of every powerful story. The human spirit reveals it in the worst moments and the quietest ones.
- Kindness is a superpower and time is not renewable. How you show up for the person in front of you writes the next chapter of your story.
Topics include leadership development, business storytelling, entrepreneurship, mindset, high performance, personal development, self improvement and career advice.
Hit play. Win more. Stress less. Awaken the leader within.

59 min - Don't Carry the Weight Alone: Suicide Prevention, Mental Health, and the Power to Turn Pain Into Purpose with Jimmy & Karen Baker
Content warning: This episode discusses suicide and grief. If you need support, dial 988. If you are located outside of the United States, resources can be found at https://findahelpline.com
Suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and the power of the human spirit anchor this raw conversation with Jimmy and Karen Baker, founders of the Jake Baker 27 Fund. After losing their 22-year-old son, Jake, to suicide in May 2024, they made a pact the same night. They would not let grief tear them apart. They would turn pain into purpose.
Jimmy, a 26-year police veteran now serving on the wellness team at the Baltimore-Washington Police Academy, and Karen, a former elementary school teacher and gym site leader, share their personal mission to help students, athletes, officers, and families build a support system before the weight of the world presses down on them.
Our meaningful talk touched on how Jake's outward success masked an inner struggle. How vulnerability invites the support you never knew existed.
What you will hear:
- The Pact: deciding in advance that hard times will not break you
- The Spotters: building your support system before you need it
- Why the strongest people hide the heaviest loads
This Mental Health Awareness Month episode is for parents, coaches, first responders, athletes, high performers and anyone who has been holding it together alone. It is also a tribute to Rebecca's brother Brian.
