Her parents' sacrifices and commitment to her education laid the groundwork for her future success.The Importance of Female Mentorship – Margarets highlights how powerful mentorship from women in her life influenced her growth, both personally and professionally. These role models helped her navigate the challenges she faced in her career.Serendipitous Career Path – Her entry into the tech industry was not planned. Her first job with Alcatel was a coincidence, but it became a launching pad for her future leadership roles, proving that sometimes unexpected opportunities are the most transformative.Leadership in the Tech Industry – At the young age of 27, Margarete was asked to take on the role of Technical Director without technical experience. This pivotal moment taught her the value of embracing challenges and trusting in one's potential.The Value of Risk-Taking and Focus – Dr. Margarete shares that success often comes from being willing to take risks and remain focused. She advocates for a clear commitment to each endeavor, whether in business or government, as a path to achieving meaningful outcomes.Public and Private Sector Synergy – Her experience as a government minister in Austria reinforced the value of combining public and private sector knowledge. Dr. Margarete believes that leadership in either sector can benefit from learning and applying lessons from both sides.Living and Working in Saudi Arabia – Margarete discusses her transition from Europe to Saudi Arabia, noting how embracing new environments and opportunities helped her grow as a leader and entrepreneur.Women's Empowerment in Saudi Arabia:Significant progress has been made in gender equality, with the government pushing for greater participation of women in the workforce.

Learn more about Shirelle at:  www.ileapgroup.com 1. Diversity of Experience & Breaking StereotypesShirelle's Personal Story:Her fashion choices (such as a standout outfit) initially led others to assume they were selling clothes, rather than running a successful IT and cybersecurity business. This was a pivotal moment where she realized that assumptions based on appearance (race, gender, etc.) don't always align with reality. She was able to turn this situation into an opportunity to connect with a key business partner, emphasizing the importance of diversifying one's thinking and not allowing past negative experiences to shape future interactions.There is a huge power in the diversity of thought—both in business and in how one perceives others. A mindset shift can lead to opportunities rather than barriers.2. The Role of Mindfulness and Self-TalkLeticia's Wisdom:Leticia introduces the concept of “telling ourselves our own stories: why mindfulness teachings, thoughts, and choosing the story we tell ourselves is important. When people experience challenges or negative assumptions, the inner narrative they create can either fuel suffering or open the door to more productive thinking and action.The message is clear: our mindset and self-talk can shape our experiences and either limit us or open new possibilities.3. Business Ownership: Passion vs. ProfitOn Business Ownership:Shirelle explains why separating passion from profitability is a game changer: While passion can fuel a sense of purpose, it doesn't always lead to immediate financial success. Entrepreneurs should focus on solving real problems (business problems) while maintaining their passion on the side, ensuring it doesn't become a source of frustration if it doesn't directly lead to revenue.Understanding business operations is crucial for business owners, particularly financial elements like Profit and Loss sheets, cash flow, and systems for managing growth. Without this infrastructure, passion alone won't sustain a business.4. Systems and Processes in Small BusinessEfficiency & Operations:The power of systems and operations in small business ownership: While it's tempting to focus solely on passion and product/service quality, a sustainable business requires attention to financial management, organizing workflows, and streamlining operations. Having clear systems in place for managing cash flow and delegating tasks, so that the entrepreneur can focus on the core functions of their business.Using tools like Loom or Zoom to record processes is practical advice for anyone looking to grow their business by ensuring that workflows and knowledge are shared efficiently within a team.5. Cybersecurity's Role in BusinessShirelle passion for cybersecurity:  a high percentage of small businesses face cyberattacks. Their work in cybersecurity is both a business solution and a way to protect other businesses, allowing them to pursue their passion while addressing a critical issue.Cybersecurity becomes a symbol of responsibility and security. Entrepreneurs can weave their expertise into their mission of protecting and empowering others.6. Finding Momentum & InspirationLeticia's Podcast and Message of Patience:Leticia shares her own journey of producing a podcast for five years without direct monetary rewards, underscoring the importance of patience and commitment to passion. The rewards often come in the form of impact and fulfillment, not just financial compensation. She talks about the urgency she felt to release content, especially the interview with Dr. Gladys McCormick, a woman who introduced holistic medicine to the U.S. and passed away shortly after the interview.Sometimes external events can serve as a signal or a reminder to move forward with projects that are meaningful, even when they seem to have no immediate financial return.7. Breaking News and Exciting Business MilestonesShirelle announces an exciting business achievement: closing a deal with a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) for a digital transformation and cybersecurity project. This includes providing jobs and opportunities for students, which ties back to their passion for empowering underserved and underrepresented groups.The significance of this project lies not only in the technical aspects of cybersecurity but also in the social impact—creating pathways for young people to enter the tech field while benefiting from education and mentorship.8. Gratitude and Giving BackWe should always express gratitude for life, work, and the opportunities that come with it. Maintaining a sense of purpose and using one's position to help others, particularly marginalized groups or communities that may not have the same opportunities is so powerful and humane. Key Messages from the Episode:Mindset matters: The mindset plays a crucial role in navigating business and life challenges. Choosing a more empowering narrative can turn obstacles into opportunities.Passion and business: Your passion doesn't have to be profitable or business-connected. But your business needs to solve problems. Passion doesn't always equate to immediate profitability, but when coupled with problem-solving and business strategies, it can lead to long-term success.Systems are essential for every business owner: Having strong operational systems in place is crucial for running a business smoothly. This includes managing cash flow, creating efficient workflows, and being ready for delegation.Cybersecurity and social impact: There's a significant need for cybersecurity services, particularly for small businesses. By combining technical expertise with a mission to empower underserved groups, businesses can make a social impact while ensuring growth and security.Patience and persistence: Leticia's story about her podcast emphasizes the need for patience and persistence in pursuing passions that may not yield immediate financial returns. Success and fulfillment come from the impact one makes, not just the financial rewards. Key Topics:Sherelle's early influences: The impact of her grandfather's lessons in global citizenship, work ethic from her mother, and dreaming without limits.The role of exposure in youth development: Traveling, learning new languages, and interacting with diverse cultures.Career origin story: Sherelle's transition from law aspirations to a career in tech and IT, driven by an innate interest in process optimization and technology."Choosing the right rooms": The importance of being in spaces that align with personal values and goals, rather than conforming to societal expectations.Legacy vs. fame: Sherelle's desire to leave a lasting impact, particularly on future generations, through her work in leadership, tech, and community empowerment.Empowering underserved communities: Sherelle's work through I Lead Group and I Elevate Community, focusing on growth, leadership, and work-life integration for women entrepreneurs.

Learn more about Christian at: About - Soulful PowerBorn in Havana, Cuba, Christian, along with his close-knit family, emigrated to the U.S. when he was 10 to escape Communism. Early life experiences of not being able to speak freely for fear of political persecution led to patterns of hiding aspects of himself and feeling like a stranger in a new land, accompanied by loneliness, isolation, self-rejection, and a sense of not belonging.  By his late 20s, Christian had all the trappings of “success”: a good job, a beautiful condo on the water in South Beach, FL, a sports car, Armani suits — an enviable life. Yet, none of it seemed enough. It seemed that the more he had, the emptier he felt. Something was missing: a spiritual connection and a sense of purpose. Following a life-changing breathwork session, he had a vision for the impact he was meant to make, the gifts he had yet to share with the world… And he discovered tools to help free himself — and others — from the unbearable weight of self-doubt, limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors, and the conditioning that kept him from feeling truly free and fulfilled. He jumped tracks and never went for the Ph.D. in Psychology. He walked out of his life and went off on a life-changing spiritual journey.After five years of diving deep into his own process of healing and transformation, he experienced a level of freedom that is only possible when one is willing to face down and transcend their inner demons, their shadow. His newfound strength, wisdom, confidence, and clarity matched a driving passion to support others to reclaim their power, conquer insecurity, stop playing small, create dream relationships, and live a life filled with purpose. Since then, his commitment to our collective healing and transformation has never wavered.

https://rhondaparkertaylor.com/ Rhonda Parker Taylor wanted to write a book to prove to herself that she could. For many, like Parker Taylor, writing is a difficult task. Growing up, she wasn't a good student in English, reading or writing. She struggled with McGuffey Readers. And the phonetic concepts escaped her as a child. But she was still drawn to books, mostly encyclopedias, where she could read about the world, daring young women and journeys away from her small hometown of Noblesville. So, writing became about telling a story that was within her. And that's what she did in her book, “Crossroads,” a suspense novel set in Indianapolis in the early 2000s and released earlier this year. The story is a journey into the life of fictional character, Paris Pennington, a powerhouse in the financial community who is forced to fulfill her civic duty and be a juror in a murder trial involving the death of a 15-year-old. But when Pennington takes the job as the jury foreman, whose name is mistakenly made public, her life begins to be picked apart as people around her start dying. Parker Taylor said she had an idea for the plot before she started writing, and she chose the scene of the crime, too. “I had Chapter One ingrained in my head. All I had to do was write it down. I worry about the mechanics after I get the story and dialogue crafted,” she said. Parker Taylor, whose book is endorsed by Golden Globe-nominated actress Mariel Hemingway, will sign copies this Saturday in Chicago and locally, on June 24, at the Barnes and Noble at River Crossing in Indianapolis. The book is the product of “passion, determination and commitment,” she said. “It took me a year to write and 20 years to introduce it.” Yes, she wrote the book in 2000 but finally got it published this year. She was born in Noblesville in 1964 and will turn 59 this fall. She is the second youngest of five children, the daughter of the late William and Anita Parker, who founded a steel manufacturing company that we know today as Noble Industries. Her sister, Brenda Parker, her best friend, is executive vice president of Noble Industries. Her brother, Gary Parker, is executive consultant of manufacturing. And her brother, Greg Parker, is president of Noble Industries. Parker Taylor spent her childhood in a two-story home surrounded by cornfields and cows in the Craig Highlands neighborhood, attended Prairie Baptist Church and Heritage Christian School, from where she graduated in 1983. Through Noble Industries and her parents' entrepreneurial spirit, the Parkers learned to dedicate themselves to work, family and community. All of the Parker children, she said, were taught to work hard. Most of the kids gained their job experience by working at Noble Industries or for grandparents, Kenneth and Louis (Marrow) Hanna's Ken-Lo Cafeteria (839 Conner St., according to Hamilton County historian David Heighway). Parker Taylor's first job was bagging plastic furniture feet while watching TV and bending steel and working a punch press at Noble Industries (which was started in 1968, making metal aquarium stands part time in a 300-square-foot barn, founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970, and has since grown to 60 employees and a 110,000-square-foot facility). During high school, she worked at Payless Shoes and Arby's in Noblesville. After graduating high school, she earned a certification in 1984 in Fashion Merchandising in Bauder College, Arlington, Texas. Then, she returned to Indiana. Then several years later, she decided to go back to school. In 2000, she earned a bachelor's degree in Business Science Management; in 2004, a master's of Business Administration from Indiana Wesleyan University; and in 2010, a doctorate in Management and Leadership from University of Phoenix. (In her career, she has mentored students and young professionals, was a National College campus director and professor, co-director of an advertising agency and worked for a student loan management company. In between, she worked in the human resources department of Noble Industries. Currently, she is director of operations for Intelligent Solutions training, developing, academic research and business writing services) Her writing started through academics. “I was a business student who had to write paper after paper.” After writing her book, a publisher in 2000 backed out of a deal with her because she wasn't interested in the business part of the industry. Brenda Parker asked her sister: “What are you afraid of?” Her sister said, “For it to succeed, you must make yourself vulnerable to disappointment.” So Parker Taylor started looking for another publisher who also assisted with the marketing. MindStir and Seacoast walked her through much of the process. Her two family mottos: “If it is meant to be, it is up to me,” and “Every day is great.” She has stuck with those mottos. Writing, for Parker Taylor, is about telling a story with a lesson learned. In “Crossroads,” she used Proverbs' lessons on anger, fury and envy as the motivations for the crime. After her book was finally published, her first book signing couldn't have gone better. “I was blessed by so many people coming out to support me and the book,” she said. “I can't wait to host another one. What I loved about the book signing was it was a time to socialize and fellowship with like-minded people.” Her next signing is at Barnes and Noble Evansville, IN on 9/12 and Barnes and Noble Carmel, IN on October 20. In addition, Parker has done the Fox Indy Now show and approximately 10 Podcasts. While she loves to travel, to cook and all things outdoors, writing a book has always been on her bucket list. What makes her smile is “life and people.” She is inspired by her family and good friends, creating characters like them in her book. “I've been lucky to have lifelong friends that push me to be a better person and to live to my full potential,” Parker Taylor said. She has great support from her spouse, Dana Taylor. “My husband assists me in staying in balance because, much like the main protagonist in ‘Crossroads,' I tend to be a workaholic.” Remember when Parker Taylor shared how she struggled academically in school? Well, she had a special Heritage Christian School teacher, Mrs. Donley, who offered to tutor her over the summer between her junior and senior years. “At the end of the summer, I offered to pay her for the tutoring from the money I made working at Arby's. She would not take a dime. I passed the test. Without her, none of this would have ever happened to me.” Please leave a review or send us a Voice note letting us know what you enjoyed at:Back2Basics reconnecting to the essence of YOU (podpage.com)Follow us on IG and FB @Back2BasicsPodcast

Check out Dr. Castagnini Podcast at:https://behindthebitepodcast.com/course/In her own words:There was really never a question that I was going to spend my life trying to help people who were in pain or suffering feel or get better. I just somehow knew it was something I was going to do.Perhaps others saw that in me as well. When I was in high school, my friend's dad saw an ad in a local paper for teen advice columnists, he told my friend I should apply because everyone was always coming to me for advice. So, out came the hefty typewriter, and off went my application. Before I knew it, I was writing a teen advice column.My Education....The University of California Santa Cruz was where I realized that I wanted to pursue a career in mental health. Starting with my first psychology course, I just "knew".Initially, I thought I wanted to pursue medical school and become a psychiatrist. So, while I majored in psychology, I also took the courses required for medical school. I even took the MCAT's. But, then something hit me as I was knee-deep into med school applications: I truly loved all of my psychology courses. I loved experiencing actual clinical work during an upper-division course.This led me to do something completely unexpected: I switched gears and applied only to graduate programs in clinical psychology.After two years at UCSC, and one year studying on exchange at the University of British Columbia, I earned my BA in Psychology, graduating with honors.2 years later, I was inducted into Psi Chi, the National Honors Society for Psychology, as a Lifetime Member, and earned my MA in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University.I completed my doctoral studies at the University of Southern California, where I earned my PhD in Counseling Psychology.My Career....After graduate school, I was a postdoctoral resident at Kaiser Permanente. I spent the following 15 years as a staff psychologist in the adult psychiatry department while also running my own small private practice one day a week.While at Kaiser, I was the lead eating disorder specialist in my department.As the years went on, I realized that I wanted to continue doing clinical work. But, I also wanted the opportunity to do something different. Something that had a bigger, wider reach.So, I left Kaiser in October of 2019 to open my practice full-time.And Here We Are...I love that I have an opportunity to start something truly meaningful and personally near and dear to my heart.This podcast is for those of you out there who are: struggling with disordered eating....a full blown eating disorder....yo-yo dieting and struggling with weight.....body image issues.....feel like you can only be happy if you lose weight or look a certain way....or are just plain feeling trapped in a life where you can't make peace with food or your body.I was there. For years. And when I was going through my struggles, podcasts just did not exist. I wish they had. I needed to know that other people were going through what I was. I needed to hear about what types of help are out there..even help besides therapy. I needed to hear other people just talk about it. To know I was not alone. To hear that recovery is possible.I have worked with enough patients over the years to know that once you get information....once you gain the knowledge and awareness....things can start to change. But you need to hear it first.So, I am trying to get this information heard. I am trying to help from beyond the couch in this next chapter. I can only do so much from behind 4 walls---time to break them down and help more people now.I welcome you to join me and listen.I welcome you with open arms and an open ear. This podcast is for you...tell me what you want to know and hear.I'm also listening.To your health, welcome!
