  • EP 78 - Emotional Intelligence and Stress Management for Business Owners with Jocelyn Toll

    What do you do when life smacks you with stress, anxiety, and a flooded apartment against the backdrop of a viral pandemic?

    Jocelyn is forced to reassess her life’s purpose and health after losing her job and apartment during the uncertain period of the COVID-19 pandemic. She noticed its effect on her mind and body, including her posture! She takes us on an inspirational journey about emotional intelligence and stress and their effects on our social situations from the lessons learned. How do we switch our mindsets through self-love and acknowledgment of our situations to drive better and healthier actions?

    About Jocelyn

    Jocelyn is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach based in Charlotte, NC but her wellness journey began years before she got her certification.

    Growing up in Latin America, she was raised with a definition of wellness where regular outdoor activity and balanced eating are the cornerstones of good health.

    That was her view of wellness until she reached a point in her life where she was struggling to stay motivated and confident about her future even though she was doing “all the right things.”

    It was the day she decided to leave a toxic relationship that she realized that there are influences in her life beyond daily health habits that were impacting her happiness and wellbeing.

    After overcoming the emotional burnout and fatigue, she felt an unwavering calling to help others redefine wellness to live their most brave, optimistic, self-aware, and self-confident life (B.O.S.S. life).

  • EP 75 - Using Challenges as Building Blocks with Simone Giangiordano

    Simone Giangiordano has battled with health challenges all her life and has still remained at the top of her game in her different ventures. After two decades, she quit her corporate job because of the negative effect on her health and decided to begin her entrepreneurship journey and work from home. But she realized that the poor habits she had while working in her corporate job continued to impede the growth of her personal businesses.

    Simone is our guest on today’s show and discusses the importance of taking care of the three core areas of our lives: mind, body, and spirit, and how the alignment of these areas can affect our businesses.  She shares tips on achieving alignment in the three areas, identifying and understanding your peculiar challenges, and practical strategies for dealing with them.

    She also shares personal business tips on enhancing overall wellness, such as how to build your business around your challenges, client management, necessary boundaries for your business, and other tips for building businesses with a solid structure that aligns with who you are, your needs, and the lifestyle you desire.

    About Simone

    Simone Giangiordano, better known as Simone G, is a lifestyle and business coach. An encourager. A lover of the ocean. She believes the courage to say “I CAN’T” will set you free.  

    Simone brings hope to those with invisible health challenges impacting the quality of their life and their business success. She gives voice to the idea that societal and cultural norms are far more limiting that any limitation we have, and that by sharing compassion, we can overcome many of the misconceptions and much of the stigma around chronic health challenges.


    Simone’s transition from her corporate career of nearly two decades to entrepreneurship was the direct result of her health challenges. As she figured out how to manage a business alongside several illnesses and injuries, she shut down her first business three times in the first five years of her entrepreneurial career. It was during these years that saying “I CAN” nearly broke her. Thankfully, the last shutdown was back in 2012!

    In caregiving for her father, she learned what matters most is the impact we have and the love we share. That experience gave her the courage to be silent no more and to author the Building Balance to Empower programs, which were created to guide others struggling with compromised health in building a business and creating a lifestyle that supports their work and well-being. Today, she uses her Signature Program The Power of I Can’t® alongside her business coaching to help her clients transform their lives, their businesses, and their well-being.

  • Ep 74 - How to Land Your Dream Job in 12 Weeks With Super Julie

    In this episode, SJ talks with us about her proven recipe to help anyone land their dream job within 12 weeks. She discusses tools for getting your job search strategy right and how she has been able to help 90 to 95% of her client secure remote jobs. She also shares tips on how and why you should create a comfortable atmosphere during the interview that fosters engaging conversations that help the interviewer fall in love with you.

    She also shares a few personal strategies to easily navigate job offers, salary expectations in an interview, and eventually negotiate for better pay. She walks us through how to lead interviewers to the conclusions you desire and leave room for and navigate multiple job offers simultaneously. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we end up not getting the job. SJ discusses why this happens and how to bounce back from such rejection.

    About SJ

    At the age of 16, I tested for a learning disability, and lo and behold; I had a fabulous combo platter of auditory processing disorder and dyslexia. I had spent the previous ten years learning how to verbally communicate and solve problems while delegating my most challenging tasks. I did all of this unknowingly and was getting schooled on how to be a leader.


    As a young adult, I quickly rose in corporate jobs leading creative teams for Victoria’s Secret, MTV, Nike, Estee Lauder, and Carter's Childrenswear. I never felt like I fit in; I was ashamed of my learning disability; it was a secret that I wouldn’t share with others. I knew how to get a high-level position without having a Master’s degree, how to charm my way by developing relationships, negotiating the offer, and, regardless of my hurdles, lead with confidence. I created the recipe for getting the salary that I deserved.

    Today, I’m an entrepreneur, and our company helps people get the career and salary they deserve regardless of their challenges. We work with Veterans, stay-at-home parents, immigrants, folks from the LGBTQIA community, and folks with addictions or alcoholism. We have helped formerly incarcerated individuals, people who have lost their passion for what they do, people with disabilities - learning, physical or psychiatric; we are the people who help take fear and formality out of the career. We’ve helped over 16,000 people get the job they deserve.

  • Ep 70 - The Journey from Frustrated to Inspired Entrepreneur with Lira Kay

    Working from home comes with its fair share of workaholic entrepreneurial culture, especially as we try to do all and be all. How do we find the balance between constant productivity and freedom while still getting our money’s worth?

    Lira Kay, School of Inspired Life founder and founder of the 111 Healers Project, both run from home, is on the show today. Lira shares the lessons from her 33 years as an entrepreneur, artist, and coach. She also shares how listeners can ditch the draining lifestyle of the hustle culture and experience freedom while doing what they love and earning high profits from it!

    As a former self-described struggling artist who started her career at 17, Lira understands what it is like to yearn for the zen lifestyle while being stuck in low-paying hustle culture. Although she was making a remarkable impact worldwide, she was only getting by financially until a decisive session with another transformation coach helped her realize that she could charge a higher value for her high-impact work while maintaining her sanity.

    Now, she is on a mission to teach and mentor other coaches, therapists, and transformational leaders how to take their programs to the highest levels and charge 6 figure sums for them while positioning themselves above the competition, hustling less, and embracing a lifestyle that enables healing and productivity.
