Ep #28: From Imbalance to Alignment with Shannon O'Toole

Shannon O'Toole's journey is a testament to the power of aligning personal values with professional ambitions. We all have values - the ideas or beliefs that motivate us to act in certain ways. Living in alignment with our values requires a lot of reflection and intentionality, but doing so helps guide us through setbacks and decision-making and ultimately helps us live a life we're proud of.

Shannon turned an unexpected job loss into her dream career by following her intuition and living out her values. Her story is so encouraging and inspiring!

Ep #22: From Out of Balance to Following the Fun with John Auble

Ever felt overwhelmed by your career and wondered if there was another way? Our guest today, John Auble, is living proof that it's possible. Once an engineer drowned in the corporate hustle, John took a leap of faith, left his demanding career and carved out his own entrepreneurial path.

Ep #18: From Overwhelmed to Fulfilled with Tara Perman

My guest today is my friend and former client Tara Perman. When we started coaching, Tara was feeling uninspired with her successful career of 23 years.

She was the primary parent in her household and COVID had taken its toll - she was frustrated with trying to manage everything. She knew she wanted to change careers, but was afraid to take the plunge.

The first thing we worked on was the idea that the fear of change was real and would always be there. Tara learned to move forward with her business while feeling the fear instead of waiting for it to go away. She stuck with her plan to become a career coach, even when it felt hard.

Things changed at home, too. She put in her notice before a family vacation, much earlier than she had previously planned. She fully enjoyed vacation with her family for the first time. She decided to spend the whole summer with her kids, without the stress of working, for the first time.

She marketed her new business even when it felt scary. When she felt stuck, she would just take one tiny step in the direction of her new life.

She now has a successful coaching business and just took a month-long vacation to Europe with her husband and kids for the second summer in a row. 

Tune in and listen to Tara’s full story!

Ep #10: From "Just Fine" to a Truly Fulfilling Life with Kari Kaiser

Before coaching, Kari's life was "just fine".  She was recently divorced and learning to be the sole breadwinner and single mom. She worried about money, which impacted every decision she made.

Thankfully, Kari decided "just fine" wasn't enough for her. She wanted to have "an amazing second half of life".

Kari learned to balance structure with creativity, and increased the profits of her graphic design business by 50%. She improved the relationships in her life when she stopped people pleasing. She learned to trust the universe, and choose optimism at every turn.

Don't miss this heartwarming conversation that demonstrates the transformative power of coaching and the possibility of creating not just a thriving career, but a truly fulfilling life.

Ep #07: From Stuck to Happy with Lauren Rapaport

This week we have a guest on the podcast. I invited my friend and client Lauren Rapaport to join me because she is a shining example of how you can take your life from stuck, overwhelmed, and miserable to “the world is my oyster and I can have and create anything I want.”

In this episode, Lauren will tell you exactly how and what she did to create her new, happy life.

Sneak preview: she quit the job she hated and started a new business. She quit drinking and started feeling her feelings. She quit being in “victim mentality” and stopped beating herself up. She accepted her type 1 diabetes instead of hating it. She started loving life and having gratitude for everything.

To quote Lauren, “I am just 100% happier than I was before”.
