This episode is a powerful exploration of what becomes possible when intentional coaching conversations create space for clarity, awareness, and growth. Gloria Sloan takes you inside the moments where transformation truly begins—when the noise quiets, self-doubt loosens its grip, and deeper understanding rises to the surface.

Gloria unpacks how coaching helps uncover inner wisdom, break through invisible barriers, and release patterns that no longer serve who you are becoming. You’ll discover why coaching is not about being told what to do, but about awakening what already lives within you. Through thoughtful reflection and practical insight, this episode explores how alignment—not hustle—creates sustainable success in both life and leadership.

The episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect with yourself. It’s about moving from reaction to intention, from uncertainty to self-trust, and from potential to power. If you’ve been feeling called to grow, realign, or step more fully into your purpose, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—and gently guide you forward with clarity and confidence.

In today’s episode, I share the journey of finding my why and the path to living my purpose. I want you to know the story behind the life coach, Gloria Sloan, and The Gloria Show.

To know your purpose, you need to find your why. The process involves reflecting on past experiences, identifying core values, recognizing your strengths, and asking powerful questions about what truly matters to you. Then you must decide how you want to contribute to the life you are living in meaningful ways that describe your why. It’s an ongoing journey of self-discovery, supported by seeking new perspectives, motivation, learning, and acting toward a more profound sense of personal fulfillment. Knowing your why provides clarity for decision-making and action. Here’s the initiative to get you started: Take advantage of the opportunities right in front of you and understand that investing in yourself is essential to knowing your true purpose.

It took me years of laboring through business experiences to realize why I’m dedicated to helping others self-develop to reach their full potential and live a life of fulfillment. Even if you are already successful, your purpose doesn’t stop there. I accomplished a lifetime of dreams with resilience and dedication to extending my purpose into a bigger why. I’m the product and living example of a self-directed personal growth journey. My life’s trajectory has been shaped by hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to lifelong learning. My story unfolds significant blessings that have been fundamental to living my purpose-driven life.

Finding your why is not a destination you arrive at, but a journey of gentle unfolding. As you embark on this exploration, you may encounter new passions and interests that will guide you along the way. As you navigate through experiences, joy, and even challenges, you begin to piece together clues that illuminate your path. Each step you take and every lesson you learn brings you closer to understanding your unique essence and what resonates deeply with you. The benefits of finding your why go deeper, moving beyond success to a sense of meaning and purpose.

He makes it clear that the traditional path of security is gone and that 2026 demands courage, adaptability, and a commitment to becoming your own boss.

Listeners are guided through essential principles for choosing their future, including taking responsibility for results, investing in personal development, curating relationships that elevate rather than drain, and protecting mental and emotional well-being in a world saturated with distraction. Les delivers unforgettable insights on discipline, faith in action, and the necessity of surrounding yourself with only quality people.

In this powerful and forward-thinking episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we grow, learn, and evolve as individuals. AI isn’t just a productivity tool — it’s a companion in self-discovery, clarity, and personal excellence.

Join us as we break down how AI can amplify your mindset, deepen your self-awareness, accelerate your goals, and support you in becoming the most aligned and empowered version of yourself. From emotional growth and confidence-building to practical life strategies and habit formation, we uncover how this technology is reshaping the personal development landscape.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a lifelong learner, or someone seeking more direction and fulfillment, this episode will show you how AI can be a meaningful catalyst on your journey to becoming your best self.

Sue explores how lifelong learning has become essential in a rapidly changing, AI-driven world, not as a hobby, but as a way of being. She dives into why curiosity and growth mindset are now the true power skills, and how the myth of “work-life balance” is not only outdated, but limits our capacity to grow.

Her message is simple: when you stop compartmentalizing and start leading with your whole self, you unlock the adaptability and courage required to thrive in today’s world.

Mental fitness is a critical skill for today’s leaders, empowering them to manage stress effectively, adapt to change with confidence, and create resilient, high-performing teams. By strengthening their mental agility and emotional awareness, leaders can remain clear-headed under pressure, make better decisions during challenging transitions, and maintain balance in the face of constant demands. This proactive approach not only improves leadership performance but also helps prevent burnout, fostering a healthier and more sustainable work environment for themselves and those they lead.

When Dorchelle Spence was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, she wasn’t ready. She had a career, a teenage daughter, a husband managing a bustling law practice, three stepsons, and a chronically ill mother. What she needed was for the world to stop and give her a minute to breathe. It didn’t. Instead, it sent her onto the battlefield. To win, Dorchelle had to dig deeper than ever before to build a new type of foxhole. In it, she put family and friends, the voice of faith, and beautiful shoes. It was those things, together, that ultimately helped her survive.
