What if the same curiosity that fuels a magic trick could also unlock your biggest breakthroughs in life and business?

In this episode, Debbi sits down with Ricky Locke, TEDx speaker, confidence coach, Jack Canfield Success Principles Trainer, NLP practitioner, and award-winning magician, to explore how curiosity, courage, and clarity combine to create real-world manifestation.

Ricky shares the story of how a single decision and a vision board turned into a nine-month journey from loss and uncertainty to landing his first TEDx Talk, “Magical Resilience: How Curiosity Unlocks Possibility.”

Through his signature mix of humour, mindset, and magic, he shows how trusting the detour and taking bold, curious action can transform setbacks into stage-worthy successes.

You’ll hear how his 20-year career in retail leadership built the foundation for resilience, how he now empowers others through The Confident Club and the UNLOCKED podcast, and why he believes there’s no failure, only feedback.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between uncertainty and opportunity, this conversation will remind you that the moment you choose curiosity over fear, magic isn’t far behind.

What happens when the burdens you’ve hidden quietly become the platform you were always meant to lead from?

In this episode, Debbi welcomes Marsha Vanwynsberghe, NLP trainer, six-time bestselling author, storyteller, and founder of the OUTSPOKEN leadership platform, to trace how she turned heartbreak, intuition, and crisis into her most powerful work.

Marsha walks us through her early years of perfectionism and armor, the deeply personal losses and health battles that would break her open, and the pivot that led her from hiding in shame to speaking boldly in purpose.

Along the way, you’ll hear how she wove together storytelling, subconscious reprogramming, radical responsibility, and embodied leadership to not just survive, but to become a beacon for others seeking to speak with truth and impact.

Marsha has spent over 25 years as a kinesiologist, personal trainer, and coach helping people transform their bodies and belief systems. Her own journey through addiction in her family, miscarriages, and aggressive endometriosis brought her to a crossroads: stay silent or use her voice. She chose the latter.

Today, Marsha runs OUTSPOKEN, offering NLP certification, writing programs, and coaching that support women to reprogram old stories, claim visibility, and become global thought leaders from their lived experience.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story is too messy, too raw, or too broken to share, this is the conversation that shows you otherwise. Because when you own your choices with fierce responsibility, the life you declare becomes the life you lead.

Midlife doesn’t just bring change, it brings reinvention.

In this episode, Debbi sits down with Lisa R. Triggs and Rob Triggs, a Canadian couple whose personal transformation stories have become powerful catalysts for their professional lives.

After nearly 20 years of navigating menopause, grappling with depression, insomnia, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection, Lisa embraced a radical mindset shift.

Through tools like visualization, journaling, and self-love, she not only reclaimed her sense of self, but also awakened her “Menopause Queen” persona. She’s now a best-selling author and speaker, using her platform, her book 'The Menopause Mindshift' and popular Self-Love Podcast, to empower women to embrace this phase as a powerful awakening rather than a decline.

Meanwhile, Rob spent years in high-pressure B2B sales and leadership roles, often feeling out of place until a mindset shift flipped everything. Inspired by Napoleon Hill’s Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, he crafted a sales system rooted in authenticity, not hype. Now, as founder of Rapid Transformational Results (RTR), he offers the CALM Sales Approach and Thrive community to help sales leaders and entrepreneurs succeed with integrity, structure, and real support.

Together, this episode explores how Lisa’s self-love practices and Rob’s recalibrated approach to sales became the foundations not only for thriving businesses but also for rediscovering their marriage.

It’s a conversation about choosing each other daily, building from within, and daring to step into your most authentic life, at any age.
