What happens when you've checked all the boxes for success but feel empty inside? June Sapunpak knows this terrain intimately. As a first-generation Thai American raised to believe she should become "either a doctor or a doctor," June spent years pursuing external validation through a successful career as a Hollywood stylist. On paper, she had it all – the prestigious clients, the creative career, the accolades. But something fundamental was missing.

"I checked every single box," June shares with remarkable candor. "And once I checked off all my boxes, I was like, 'Wait, aren't I supposed to be happy by now?'" This pivotal realization began a transformation that would eventually lead her to become a Joy Guide, podcast host, and champion for authentic living.

What makes June's story so powerful is her willingness to name the performative aspects of high achievement – what she calls the "dance, monkey, dance" of appearing put-together while crying in bathroom stalls between client meetings. For many high-achieving listeners who've mastered the art of making everything look effortless, June's admission that she had to "stop lying to herself" offers both challenge and profound relief.

Now working with "heart-led leaders and high-achieving humans who are successful on paper but secretly wondering 'is this it?'," June brings a unique blend of psychology background, spiritual tools, and lived experience to her coaching practice. Her definition of joy itself is revolutionary – not the constant happiness we're sold, but "being so honest in being yourself at any given moment, giving space and honor to the version of you that's showing up today."

Ready to take your own brave, messy step toward greater authenticity? June's journey from external achievement to internal alignment reminds us that sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is admit when something isn't working, even when everyone else thinks it should be.

What happens when you follow the unexpected twists in your career path instead of fighting them? Jessica Minor's journey from political science student to custom cabinetry business owner reveals the power of embracing professional evolution.

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, Jessica initially resisted following that path. She pursued a political science degree with dreams of "saving the world," briefly attended law school, and navigated corporate America before recognizing her true talents lay elsewhere. The road to finding her passion wasn't straight—it curved through family business experience, house flipping, and finally to creating stunning custom cabinets now shipped nationwide.

Jessica's story demolishes the myth that success requires unwavering focus on a single career from day one. Instead, she demonstrates how each professional experience builds upon the last, creating a unique foundation of skills that can't be replicated. Most remarkably, what began as a "side biz" in house flipping transformed into a thriving cabinetry business making "ten times more than I ever dreamed of making."

For women contemplating their own entrepreneurial ventures, Jessica offers crystal-clear advice: "Have multiple streams of income." She emphasizes that side businesses can evolve into primary enterprises if given room to grow, providing both financial security and the flexibility to navigate different life seasons. Her approach to business—prioritizing quality relationships over maximum scaling—challenges conventional growth-at-all-costs wisdom.

Whether you're questioning your current path, considering a side business, or wondering if it's too late to pursue what you're passionate about, this conversation delivers both practical wisdom and the reassurance that confidence often comes with time. Sometimes the most fulfilling careers emerge from the intersection of talent, passion, and market need—even when they look nothing like what you initially imagined for yourself.

What if your passion for travel could transform from a distant dream into a tangible reality? Susan Sherfield's journey proves it's possible—even without extraordinary wealth or privilege.

After spending nearly four decades in property management, Susan shares how she carved out a life where global exploration takes center stage while maintaining her professional success. Growing up in a blue-collar Chicago family, she once believed international adventures were reserved for the wealthy. That perception shattered when she took her first Mediterranean cruise at age 40, sparking a lifelong love affair with travel that would redefine her priorities.

Susan doesn't just travel—she orchestrates her entire life around her values. Rather than viewing balance as equal distribution of resources, she strategically directs her time and money toward experiences that matter most. Through practical wisdom on tracking expenses, choosing shoulder seasons, and making thoughtful trade-offs, she demonstrates how anyone can make travel accessible without sacrificing financial stability.

The conversation takes a profound turn when Susan reminds us that "tomorrow is not guaranteed." This sobering truth guides her decision-making about which destinations to prioritize, asking, "If this trip is our last trip, which one would we regret not taking?" Her newly launched website, OnePassionForTravel.com, aims to inspire others to stop postponing their dreams and start living intentionally today.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone who's never ventured beyond your home country, Susan's philosophy challenges us all to examine where our resources go and whether those choices align with our deepest values. Your life is your message to the world—why not make it extraordinary?

Searching for calm in a world that feels like it's spinning out of control? Author Ellen Seigel offers a refreshing antidote to our collective anxiety with her five-step approach to finding peace amid chaos.

Ellen joins the SheSweet Society to share the deeply personal journey that led to her book "Be Happy No Matter What." From a childhood where she felt unseen by her family to her fascinating writing process—collecting wisdom on index cards for fifteen years until they naturally arranged themselves into chapters—her story resonates with anyone who's ever felt adrift in uncertain times.

What distinguishes Ellen's approach is her revolutionary definition of peace: the ability to hold opposing energies in our consciousness simultaneously. Rather than seeing the world in black and white terms, she suggests that true contentment comes from embracing duality and finding comfort in the space between extremes. This perspective feels particularly vital in our politically charged climate where divisiveness often reigns supreme.

The conversation explores profound questions about permanence, purpose, and the nature of happiness. Ellen suggests we're all students and teachers for each other in life's "schoolhouse," transforming how we might view difficult relationships—as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to happiness. Her gentle wisdom reminds us that while our physical presence may be temporary, the core of who we are remains permanent.

Most powerfully, Ellen emphasizes that the key to happiness resides within each of us. Her book doesn't offer external solutions but rather helps readers access their own inner wisdom. Through intentional breathing, meditation, and other practices outlined in her five steps, we can create an internal anchor that steadies us during life's inevitable storms.

Discover why Ellen's message feels less like a luxury and more like a necessity in these tumultuous times. Listen now to learn practical tools that can transform anxiety into calm and uncertainty into clarity. Your journey to being happy—no matter what—begins here.

Have you ever discovered that someone you've known for years has been walking a parallel professional path without either of you realizing it? That's exactly what happened when I sat down with my longtime friend Katie Elsass for this eye-opening conversation about affordable housing, compassionate property management, and finding purpose in unexpected places.

Katie reveals her journey from aspiring social worker to Quality Improvement Director at Community Housing Network, where she brings structure and compassion to the challenging world of affordable housing. Unlike conventional property management, CHN follows a housing-first philosophy, providing homes to people with disabilities and histories of homelessness without demanding sobriety or income. "We'll house you how you are," Katie explains, creating stability first so other services can follow.

We dive deep into the stark contrast between Columbus's affordable housing shortage and the conventional market's struggle to fill units at higher price points. Katie's career evolution mirrors the growth challenges many non-profits face - from chaotic, unstructured environments to developing comprehensive policies that support both staff and residents. Her candid sharing about workplace stress and finding her professional sweet spot offers valuable insights for anyone trying to align their values with their career.

The conversation takes honest turns as we discuss the unique dangers property managers face working where others live, sharing stories of risky situations and learning how to prioritize safety while maintaining compassion. Katie's life philosophy becomes the perfect takeaway: "Don't worry until you have to" - a reminder to save our energy for challenges that actually materialize rather than burning out on anticipatory anxiety.

Whether you work in housing, social services, or are simply curious about how compassion can transform systems, this conversation illuminates how unexpected professional allies might be hiding in your own social circle. Listen now and discover how two friends found connection through their parallel missions of creating homes and hope.
