February 23, 2026The Nautilus Way, Writing your Way Free with Marie Crews, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Grief Guide, and Best-Selling Author
There are transitions in life that bring a lot of pain, sorrow, and trauma. These transitions of loss are the most difficult to navigate, and for that reason, I invited Marie Crews to be my guest today.
In 2017, Marie lost her son suddenly, less than 2 years after her mother’s unexpected passing. Even in her darkest hours, she refused to let grief define her.

In this episode, Marie shares:
How does writing help uncover patterns and beliefs people don’t even know they’re carrying?

What role do hidden beliefs play in emotional pain? And how can someone begin to rewire them to build clarity, confidence, and self-trust?

How can people who feel the guilt and pressure to grieve “the right way” give themselves permission to grieve differently?

Why are all-women’s retreats such a powerful space for healing, and what happens there that can’t happen in everyday life?

Her persistence in rising from profound loss, combined with years of coaching experience, uniquely qualifies her to guide women with compassion, courage, and hope. She does this all through Retreats and workshops that are centered on helping women process loss.

February 09, 2026 A Woman’s Transition into Significance and Legacy with Debi Ronca, Life Transition Coach, Best-Selling Author and Podcast Host
In this episode, Debi shares a thoughtful and encouraging conversation for women in their 60s, 70s, and beyond who are navigating a new season of life and wondering what comes next.
As roles change and rhythms shift, many women begin asking deeper questions about purpose in later life, significance, and how to age with grace.
In this episode, we explore what it means to embrace aging with purpose, release outdated expectations, and step confidently into the second half of life with clarity and intention.
We talk about finding meaning after 60, redefining purpose in retirement, and recognizing the quiet but powerful influence that comes from wisdom, presence, and lived experience.
This conversation offers encouragement for women who want to live fully, grow personally and spiritually, and create a meaningful life after 60—without pressure, striving, or comparison.
Looking for free group coaching for women over 60? Debi hosts a monthly coaching group designed to help women in their 60s, 70s, and beyond find clarity, purpose, and connection. You can also book a free clarity call to chat with Debi and learn more. Links are in the show notes.

February 02, 2026 Classic Rewind - Bunmi Samuel: Sudden Loss Transitions and Their Life Changing Impact on Our Lives
Sudden loss transitions are the most difficult to process. We are blindsided and caught off guard when they happen in our lives.
This is what happened to my dear friend and guest, Bunmi Samuel.
In July 2014, Bunmi decided to sign up for a skydiving adventure. Little did he know that this one decision would become the catalyst for his sudden loss transition. The sudden loss of his health.
Bunmi Samuel fell 15,000 feet as a result of a malfunction of his parachute.
Unbelievably, Bunmi survives.
His story is riveting. His story is one of overcoming and resilience in the face of extreme adversity, injuries, and pain.
How does anyone survive this type of accident? How does anyone create a new life when even the doctors said it was impossible? His injuries were too severe, the challenges were overwhelming, and they did not give any hope to Bunmi.
But deep inside the human spirit is the will to live and the will to come back.
Bunmi’s story will inspire you to believe in the impossible. Believe that there is always hope and that your story is never over, because there is more for you to do even when life has created a new narrative for you.
Today, Bunmi would share that entrepreneurship is the fire in his belly! He is a deep believer in the human ability to transform challenges. His work ethic, vision for life, and the practice of it all are evidence of this. Mr. Samuel serves as an advisor to youth, to the community, and to forward-thinking organizations.
As an entrepreneur, Bunmi has created two companies.
Pants and Sleeves, a creative design and development agency.
Able World is a company that advises and coaches on transformation and mission alignment.

January 05, 2026Between Chapters – What We Carry Into 2026 with Debi Ronca, International Best-Selling Author, Certified Life Transition Coach, Podcast Host
Our lives are a story of transitions, always closing one chapter and opening another.

As we move from 2025 into 2026, I’ve been thinking a lot about chapters.
not the kind we rush through
but the kind we feel
the chapters that change us
stretch us and sometimes leave a mark we didn’t expect

Because here’s the thing:
A new year doesn’t automatically mean a new beginning.
It just gives us a moment to pause, long enough to decide what we’re bringing with us—and what we’re not.

“Not everything from last year deserves a seat in the next one.”

December 29, 2025The Art of Communication, How to Be Heard, Understood and Remembered with Debi Ronca, Author, Life Transition Coach and Podcast Host
Communication isn’t about talking more; it’s about connecting better.
Malcom Forbes – “The art of communication lies in the listening”.

In today’s episode, Debi will share about the art of communication and how to learn the value of connection.
Most conflicts are not about what we say, but how we say it.
Words make up only part of our communication
Our Tone, the timing, and the delivery matter as much as the content
The tone we use can far outweigh any words we say while we are trying to communicate.

The Phone has become a Barrier in Relationships
When phones are always present:
Our eye contact decreases
The interruptions increase
And our conversations become shallower

Listening is the greatest gift you can give someone.
It says:
You matter
Your words matter
Your experience matters.
