I have a legendary speaker on the podcast today. His stories of going from rock bottom to the top of the speaking and author world are incredible. He makes me think totally differently about how I value myself and my work, and I even get a little bit of coaching from him during the podcast. Here's what he told me during our conversation: "Do not share your dreams with anybody except the ones who can help you fulfill them." Dr. Joe is a living example of what is possible when we truly believe that our dreams can come true, put in the work, take the coaching, and keep going.
Dr. Joe Vitale is a globally famous author; marketing guru; movie, tv, and radio personality; musician; and one of the top 50 inspirational speakers in the world. His many bestselling books include The Attractor Factor, Attract Money Now, Zero Limits, and his latest releases The Miracle: Six Steps to Enlightenment and Anything Is Possible. A popular, leading expert on the law of attraction in many movies, including The Secret, Dr. Vitale discovered the "missing secret" not revealed in the movie.
He's been on Larry King Live, Donny Deutsch's "The Big Idea," CNN, CNBC, CBS, ABC, Fox News: Fox & Friends and Extra TV. He's also been featured in The New York Times and Newsweek. One of his most recent accomplishments includes being the world's first self-help singer- songwriter as seen in 2012's Rolling Stone Magazine®. To date, he has released 17 albums! Several of his songs were recognized and nominated for the Posi Award, regarded as "The Grammys of Positive Music."
In this episode, Dr. Joe tells the stories of his path to transformation, how to be a super successful speaker, and why the power of creativity really can change your circumstances, no matter what they look like.

When I met Lindsey at an event, one of the first things I noticed was her amazing and beautiful legs. I went up and squeezed them -- and then we became friends! We've since spoken at the same events, she came to my recent event, we've podcasted together, and it's just the start of our friendship. I love Lindsey's energy, passion, brains, and what she shares is possible when we find our self-confidence. I can't wait for you to hear her perspective and story about grit and grace.
Lindsey Schwartz is an entrepreneur, top podcast host, and best-selling author. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She's also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.
As a sought after speaker, Lindsey travels around the world inspiring women to get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas, and helping them create the careers they've always dreamed of.
After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don't have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!
In this episode, Lindsey shares some of her top tips for finding self-confidence as a speaker, a leader, and a public figure.

We're talking about addiction and sobriety in a new way on the show. You know I've been on my own journey with sobriety for several years now, and it's a daily choice. Part of my purpose is transforming my pain into helping others to rise above whatever circumstances may be driving them towards addiction. My friend Dr. Robb Kelly knows so much about how to do this. Being a recovered alcoholic himself, he helps addicts understand their family's role in their addiction in order to become sober for good. Here's just one insight he started off with: "Alcoholics are born, drug addicts are made."
Robb Kelly, PhD is a world-renowned addiction expert who believes in treating the problem, not the symptoms. He has worked for many years helping addicts and alcoholics to recover their lives from the disease of addiction. Based on his own experiences working with addicts and alcoholics over the last 20 years, combined with a PhD in psychology, and as a recovered alcoholic himself – he is a triple threat against the disease of addiction. Dr. Kelly's philosophy may seem unconventional and unorthodox. But, they are based on extensive research and behavior studies that he conducted over the last 20 years. He pulls the disease out of his clients and empowers them to fight their disease head on.
Some people have referred to him as "The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World" because of his direct, no-nonsense, and candid approach to recovery. He has discovered that in order to get his clients to change their thinking, they must confront their disease with candor and vigor. Dr. Kelly works to "make the road of recovery less of a mystery tour." Robb Kelly, PhD has worked with thousands of people including celebrities of film, music, and sports. He has lectured at many high profile universities and hospitals on the subject of addiction, and is recognized as a leading authority on addiction recovery methods that are changing lives all around the world. Today, he is living his dream, instead of dreaming of living.
In this episode, Dr. Robb shares powerful insights into addiction, sobriety, healing our bodies and minds, and much more. He is so generous, he even shared his personal cell phone number at the end of the episode to be available to anyone facing an addiction crisis!

This week's guest made such an impact on me the first time I had her on True Grit and Grace, I invited her back as a repeat guest! Not only did we get to catch up in person and in studio, it also gave us a chance to catch up on her new book. If you're struggling to find happiness and peace amidst a stressful circumstance or huge growth chapter, this conversation is for you.
Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. Laura's rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor's presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton's White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.
Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America's Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023.
In this episode, Laura teaches you how to manage success when you achieve it, how to stay healthy amidst a busy schedule, and how to understand your own potential in a way that nourishes happiness instead of anxiety.

I am bringing a powerhouse onto the show today -- and she has a really empowering message to share with you. Rachel just published a book called Permission to Offend, so buckle up for this one.
Rachel Luna is a Certified Master Neuroscience & Life Coach, international speaker, and host of the top rated podcast, Permission to Offend where she talks faith, worth and wealth. Forbes rated her one of the Top 11 Inspiring Female Entrepreneurs to Follow on Instagram (@GirlConfident) and her work, which goes beyond cliches, rah-rah speeches and platitudes and dives deep into the root of the issue, has been featured in Success, Latina, Huffington Post and on Lifetime TV.
Born and raised in New York City, Rachel, who calls herself, "A magnet for miracles," comes from a life of resilience. Despite losing both her parents to AIDS, struggling with eating disorders in her teens and battling alcoholism and depression in her early 20's, Rachel has never allowed herself to be limited by life circumstances. Instead, she persevered and when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in the summer of 2019, Rachel tackled it the same way she does everything – with grit, tenacity, faith & confidence.
These experiences, along with her decade of service in the United States Marine Corps and tour of duty in Iraq during Operation Iraqi/Enduring Freedom have given her the strength and ability to not only handle adversity, but to thrive in it. Her courses have helped over 3,000 women (and a few fellas) gain clarity, confidence and massive business growth, many of whom have crossed into six and seven figures with ease. Rachel has helped thousands of people around the world (over 90 countries to be exact) through her weekly podcast episodes, email newsletters, speaking tours, and workshops.
In this episode, Rachel shares her best tips for building confidence to own your voice, letting go of worry about what people think, and giving your best contribution to the world.
