YES! Women's Network Podcast™

On the Yes Women’s Network podcast, content creator and marketing strategist Lindsey Kelly (nearly 1.5 million followers, over one billion views) shares how her husband’s progressive MS diagnosis in 2019, caring for six kids, and becoming the provider led her to start posting vulnerably about caregiving and autoimmune-related mental struggles. After her husband moved to assisted living in 2022, she expanded from TikTok to Instagram and Facebook, built global connections, and briefly launched a free caregiver support group before stepping back due to emotional overload. Lindsey discusses how sharing helps others feel less alone despite online hate, why women hold back (fear, unworthiness, perfectionism), how her children grew more independent and compassionate, and the habits that sustained her (gym, forgiveness, faith). She emphasizes that women matter and don’t need perfection or explanations.

Michele welcomes Marco Lopez, founder of Mind Tune and author of “Tune In: The Human Edge in an Age of Noise,” who helps leaders quiet mental noise for clear decision-making and peak performance. Marco shares how a diverse upbringing and advice to “do what you like” led him to study music and languages and pursue a purpose-driven path rather than money. He explains that clarity comes from creating mental space, affirming belief in a definite purpose, and writing about dreams without limiting beliefs. Marco discusses helping his wife find her own expression and outlines his RISE method—Relax, Imagine, Sense, Enjoy—to reach a calm “vantage” point for better handling stress. He emphasizes daily practices like exercise and writing a “greater self script,” trusting spirit, letting go of others’ opinions, and believing women are enough and worthy.

About Marco

Marco Lopez is a Peak Performance Strategist, speaker, author, and father of five. He helps leaders quiet the noise in their heads so they can think clearly, decide well, and get more done without straining. He grew up in constant motion — more than forty moves before he was nine, two countries, and a family that came apart — with a mind he couldn't count on from one day to the next. He assumed something was wrong with him. What he learned, from his father's writings on mental clarity and his grandfather's books on purpose, was that his capacity was never the problem. The noise sitting on top of it was. As founder of MindTune, he teaches people to tune the mind the way a musician tunes an instrument — fitting, since before he was a strategist he was a technology executive and a professionally trained opera singer. He lost his singing voice on a stage in Brazil in his early twenties and got it back nearly twenty years later, using the same work he now teaches. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Marco has worked with more than 5,000 leaders across four continents. He is the author of Tune In: The Human Edge in an Age of Noise. He believes the highest performance and the most meaningful life come from the same place — a quiet, clear, trusting mind.

Michele interviews Emmy and Grammy-nominated actor, musician, and prolific audiobook narrator Kirby Heyborne, host of the Emmy-nominated series Making Good and co-founder of the Help Them See Foundation. Heyborne shares how performing began with music, school plays, and using humor to connect after moving in sixth grade, and describes learning on-camera acting in his first film, Singles Ward. He discusses nearly 29 years of marriage, his wife’s grounding support amid frequent audition rejection, and his daily practice of expressing gratitude to strengthen their relationship. While filming Faith of Angels, he learned he could access emotional truth through gratitude rather than sadness. He outlines the foundation’s mission to fund entertaining, uplifting films that portray people of faith genuinely, and emphasizes kindness through gratitude and service, drawing from Making Good’s nonprofit work and his family’s joy, openness, and sibling closeness.

On the Yes Women’s Network podcast, wealth advisor Ginger Harris of Andina Family Offices shares how her father’s sudden death and her mother’s struggle with probate and unmanaged finances led her into finance. She urges women to stay involved even when a spouse handles money by knowing where assets are and attending regular advisor meetings, noting many women feel detached, find finance terminology boring, or lack a sense of ownership. Harris describes advising couples with differing goals—family security vs. charity—by focusing on facts like annual living needs and inheritance goals to reduce emotion and reach agreement. She discusses the “shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves” pattern of losing wealth in three generations and emphasizes building family culture, traditions, and values to avoid entitlement, structure inheritance thoughtfully, communicate expectations to prevent family division, and define wealth as overall wellbeing, including health and relationships.

Jodie Lemon shares a week in her affordable-housing real estate work, describing a three-hour Zoom meeting with the mayor, five city council members, her two sons, engineers, and a supportive colleague builder in downtown Salt Lake. Although the meeting went well until the last ten minutes when it turned “sideways,” her sons stepped in to help and she reflects on relying on family and strong professional relationships to navigate setbacks. She emphasizes the value of having people in your corner, encourages listeners to find and be that support for others, and notes that relationships are what matter most when life is hard.

On the Yes! Women’s Network Podcast, host Jodie Lemon interviews Utah entrepreneur and designer Heather Osmond about her journey from a young marriage and early real estate work into founding Osmond Designs, which grew from staging homes into a full-service furniture and interior design business serving model homes, luxury homes, and major builders across Utah. Heather shares how she and her former husband built wealth through disciplined real estate investing—starting by renting out part of their first home, eventually owning 33 single-family rentals, then shifting into assisted living facilities (later sold before COVID) and retail shopping centers. She discusses practical, low-cost home updates for resale, her family’s involvement in her businesses, her “never pay retail” philosophy (including a car dealer license), launching an Italy-made clothing line, purchasing the Best of State awards business, sponsoring Stadium of Fire giveaways, and how faith, resilience, and adaptability guided her through divorce and growth.

Michele shares reflections on how what people consume mentally affects their perceptions, energy, attitude, and ability to live with peace and purpose. Using analogies of the mind as a trash can and a vacuum, she emphasizes that everything taken in—through reading, movies, news, or reels—gets stored and influences how one views the world, family, business, and faith. She admits being guilty of not always choosing beneficial inputs and challenges herself and listeners to be more intentional about what they watch and read to protect their “light,” reach full potential, and make a difference.

Host Michelle Morley welcomes Brandy Vega—Christian US Army veteran, award-winning media executive, and founder of Promise to Live, a global suicide prevention and mental health movement. Brandy shares faith-driven turning points that taught her to trust God through hardship, take proactive steps without seeing the full picture, and lean on prayer, community, and gratitude during difficult seasons, including losing a Promise to Live volunteer to suicide and supporting a child in crisis. She recounts her daughter’s suicide attempt, a perceived miracle recovery, and the promise that inspired Promise to Live in 2021, emphasizing that many people want to end pain, not life. Brandy teaches practical tools: ASKEM (ask, seek, knock, expect miracles), ASK (acknowledge, support, keep in touch), asking “How are you really?”, 1–10 check-ins, and assuming others like you.

Valinda Hanks from Yes Women’s Network discusses juggling many roles—business owner or employee, wife, daughter, grandmother, sister, and friend—and the pressure to be available for everyone. She shares that balance isn’t equal and shifts over time, with some seasons requiring more focus on work and others on family. Valinda describes learning to prioritize presence, recalling how she used to come home focused on chores instead of being in the moment with her kids. Now as a grandmother, she cherishes weekly calls and visits, puts her phone down, and listens even when stories repeat. She also schedules dedicated one-on-one days each month with each grandchild. A conversation with strangers at a bar reinforces her belief to never apologize for answering family calls, since those moments can’t be regained.

Michele Morley welcomes Curtis Morley, founder of Counterfeit Emotions, to discuss how many emotions have counterfeits that look virtuous but create disconnection, including “nice” as a conflict-avoidant counterfeit of “kind.” Curtis shares how painful life experiences, including divorce and family hardship, led him to distinguish pain from misery, describing misery as blame and shame layered over pain, and teaching that pain is meant to be felt, witnessed, and then moved into action. He explains emotional intelligence as witnessing emotions without acting on them, notes a Stanford study that emotions average 90 seconds, and describes tools like the “emotion bus” to replace counterfeits with authentic twins (e.g., anger with advocacy, anxiety with awareness, suspicion with curiosity). The conversation also covers choosing one’s attitude, identity attachment as suffering, and grounding worth in being a child of God, emphasizing peace as the one emotion that cannot be counterfeited.
