  • 05: Cachet Prescott- Purposefully Coaching Women to Write the Next Chapter in Their Career Success

    Cachet Prescott is The Mid-Career Coach who provides career coaching for mid-career professional women so that they can purposefully write the next chapter of their career success story. After Cachet finally decided to turn her own passion into her profession, she enthusiastically welcomes the opportunity to help other women work in their purpose as well. Specializing in career transitions in the middle of the occupational journey, she enables her clients to make strategically planned changes including career reinvention, leaving or re-entering the workforce, job relocation and exploring the world of entrepreneurship. If it is time for your career to get a makeover Cachet will help you to supercharge your professional brand to thrive purposefully in your career.
    Main Points:
    Cachet’s story on being a military spouse; her why; and how “The Career Coach” originated
    Cachet’s aspect on serious soul searching versus the quick fix in your career
    Fulfilling your purpose while still working in a public or private sector setting
    How to find the ideal work that you will thrive in
    What is personal branding and how can you use branding towards your purpose?
    The true concept of job interviewing; seeing if the “marriage” will work.
    Making an extreme career makeover on your purpose driven journey and what to consider.
    Why so many people settle and stick “it” out
    Having a plan or exit strategy to make your transition smooth and FEARLESS
    Becoming a top level executive and how to break the “The Double Shift” mentality.
    How to ease the possibility of having a mid-life crisis
    Cachet’s Golden Phrases:
    I came to a place and a space where I wondered, why not me? I went for it and I haven’t looked back since!
    Yes you can do that job in the job description, that’s not the issue; but will you be happy doing it? That’s the issue at hand.
    I think a lot of people tend think that they have to put on a song and a dance for the company; to some degree you are selling yourself.
    Extreme career makeovers are possible if that is where your passions lie, if that is where you can be your best YOU, and if that is where you can put your best foot forward.
    As far as following your passion, you really have to have a clear idea on what that means and looks like for your life.
    Working for a company, you become a part of a family and many people feel like they are letting their co-workers down if they leave. But I can assure you, that is not the case, they will be ok and they will survive.

  • 04: Kaly McKenna- Born Through Fire: From Pain to Triumph; New Dreams and a Thriving Business

    Kaly is an accomplished combat veteran and pilot whose life was turned upside down when her husband of ten years left her alone with a newborn. She began a journey of self-discovery that led to yoga with horses, leaping from waterfalls and ultimately connecting with a community of women who held her while she transformed. Kaly has been Born Through Fire. She is now on a mission to give voice to others who are suffering in silence and turn their story into triumph. On her Born Through Fire podcast, she interviews true survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, eating disorders, drug abuse because pain and suffering is universal, but so too is the triumph of the human spirit. Kaly’s work has been featured in the Huffington Post and she now offers one-on-one coaching, is working on her first book, and leads retreats. You can sign up for her FREE printable FIREBORN Soul Journal on her website bornthroughfire.com and follow her Born Through Fire Podcast on Facebook.
    Main Points:
    Kaly shares her story on what brought her to her lowest point and why she had to redesign her childhood dreams.
    What it took for Kaly to transform her mindset and build a new reality.
    Kaly’s unique value that she brings to the world and how she created a safe space for others to release their vulnerability.
    The fear that Kaly faces every day and the big dreams that she is striving for.
    The” Soul Journal” and the significance behind writing out your thoughts, feelings, and dreams.
    Kaly’s favorite quote that she lives by each and every day.
    Kaly’s top book that can help those who are wanting to breakthrough the dark days.
    Kaly’s Golden Phrases:
    Now, I lean into the fear and instead of allowing it to overwhelm me, I step back into a place of gratitude.
    I always thought that I had to do it alone. I thought it was a sign of weakness to allow others to support me. That’s absolutely false. It takes so much strength to allow someone to see you, to see your vulnerabilities and to still love you and support you anyway.
    Do whatever it takes to fill up your soul because when you do that first, it leaves so much more room for everything else in this world.
    After sharing your story, you feel like, if I survived that and I am still her, then my life is going to matter; I’m going to make a difference in the life of others.
    It is really scary to put your dreams out there and say what your big dreams are but it’s also the only way they will come true. You also have to take momentous action in order for them to come true.
    A woman who knows what she wants is soooo powerful. Really sit and figure out what do you want and dream so big!

  • 03: Joleene Moody- How to Have Abundance by Exploring Your Life in a New Way

    Our guest today understands all too well what it’s like to change careers, take big risks, and drive blindly into the unknown. She spent 10 years as a television reporter and anchor before she realized it wasn’t where she was meant to be. When it got to the point where she couldn’t live another day merely existing, she boldly stepped out of her comfort zone and financial safety net to follow the dreams and passions within her. Today she is a published author, passion shift coach and speaker, guiding writers, artists and entertainers to a place within where they can uncover and discover who and what they are truly meant to be and do, while profiting handsomely from their deepest desires.
    Main Points:
    Joleene’s background story that led to her “Passion Shift”.
    The eye opener that revealed Joleene’s love of sitcom writing.
    How people are able to overcome their fears and the critical society that we live in so that they can achieve the fulfillment that they truly desire.
    The BIG risk that Joleene took that changed her life.
    Why most people do not take risks.
    What can people do to obtain the funds to invest in themselves.
    What keeps Joleene motivated to keep going.
    The kind of person that it takes to create their own life.
    How to stop pretending to be happy for something if you are not truly happy about.
    What it takes to discover your passion?
    Why there is no such thing called “wasted time”.
    The affect that trust and your mindset has on the purpose driven journey.
    Ways to develop speaking skills aside from Toast Masters.
    Joleene’s Golden Phrases:
    It takes a special kind of person to create their own life.
    Naturally, we have a sense of security in a conformed culture.
    I was feeling unfulfilled. And the reason I was feeling unfulfilled was because my soul had not yet merged with my purpose.
    Our growth isn’t about destination it’s about the flourishing within so that we can serve the world for the greater good.
    Anybody that wants to make a significant amount of money and not work a lot and follow their passion, there’s no B.S. when I tell you it’s possible; but you have to be willing to do something different.
    Sadly, our current culture leads us to believe that we have to figure it out and we have to figure it out quickly and it has to be really big and really bold so that I can be admired by the world.
    There have been days that I have been completely unmotivated. The motivation to “keep going”, I don’t think it’s about that, I think it’s about the willingness to show up in life like you never have before.

  • 02: Rosemary Nickel- From Postpartum Depression to Postpartum Determination (Part 1)

    Rosemary Nickel’s life consists of passionately motivating other moms to be all they can be; teaching moms exactly how to utilize their skills and talents to create the life they want to live.
    Rosemary’s popular coaching business, Motivating Other Moms, helps moms in all of life’s ages and stages to hone the skills they have to grow their business ideas and start-ups into what they always dreamed they would be.

    Main Points:
    Why are we having this conversation in our PJ’s.
    The beautiful birth that turned into a trauma story.
    Her Postpartum Depression reality check and the breaking point that led her to her to seek help.
    Why trying to “fit in” to mommy groups was not working.
    How she was forced to a network meeting that made her entrepreneur light bulb go off.
    Why having a supportive community can make a world of a difference.
    Self-worth, how Rosemary defines it and what exactly does it mean.
    New hot things going on with Motivating Other Moms.
    The lessons Rosemary teaches her children as they grow up.
    Key lessons learned from Rosemary’s purpose driven journey.
    Rosemary's Golden Phrases:
    It’s kind of like being a celebrity when all of the sudden you look like you just showed up and you are famous. And that’s not the truth. Behind every person there is a story.
    With everything that was going on, I ended up with postpartum depression because I was not taking care of myself. I would not ask for help. I asked for help in a roundabout way but not direct. When people don’t realize they are in depression it is hard for them to get help.
    The same reason why I didn’t fit into high school groups or anything else, I am just different; which most entrepreneurs are. We think differently about life, and what it is, and who we are, and it’s hard to be around other people that aren’t like us.
    Every single person has to go through something. There’s something that sparks that idea and that passion.
    That’s the way I look at life now. When something bad happens I’m like, okay, I wonder what are the great results are going to be. I don’t wallow in the misery of it.
    That idea of knowing that there is a beauty to every ending if you look at it the right way.
    The Journey is loving yourself, and really your self-worth is the value that you add to the world. Everybody has something, your something is different than the person sitting next to you.
