In this episode of Women & the Businesses They Own, Shari Hooper sits down with Donaylle Rogers for a thoughtful and uplifting conversation about mindset, emotional well-being, and the incredible power of our minds.

Donaylle shares insight into how our thoughts and inner dialogue shape the way we show up — not only in business, but in life. Together, they explore the importance of slowing down, becoming more self-aware, and creating space to truly be, rather than constantly do.

This episode is both energizing and grounding, filled with moments that invite reflection, presence, and intentional living. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or simply curious about the connection between mindset and fulfillment, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Tune in, reflect, and take with you what serves you most.

Join me for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation with Jen Koffman, founder of Grand Rapids Elderly Care.

Jen turned her own journey of caring for her parents into a mission to help others. After losing her mom nine years ago and supporting her dad through recovery and transition, she saw the need for guidance, compassion, and real advocacy for families navigating senior care.

Her heart for others shines through every story — and every placement. She reminds us that success isn’t about saying yes to profit, but yes to people.
