Jeannette looks at the challenge of succession in family businesses, particularly the growing trend of the next generation opting out of leadership roles. With recent data indicating that 63% of family businesses view succession as a significant risk, Jeannette explores the reasons behind this shift, including changing career aspirations, the desire for work-life balance, and the perceived lack of autonomy within family enterprises. Jeannette explains why: Younger generations are increasingly opting out of family business leadership roles due to a desire for autonomy, diverse career options Establishing clear governance structures, such as boards and family councils, is crucial for family businesses to navigate leadership transitions effectively When no family successor is available, bringing in external executives can be beneficial. It's essential to ensure that these leaders understand and respect the family's legacy while being empowered to drive innovation and growth.

What if your cravings had nothing to do with food, and everything to do with your mind?In this episode, I'm diving deep into the real reason why so many of us struggle with food, cravings, and stubborn weight—and no, it's not about willpower. I'm breaking down why true health doesn't start with a diet or a workout plan—it starts in the mind.You'll hear me unpack how our thoughts, habits, and even our hormones all work together (or against us) when it comes to our relationship with food.

I also teach one of my favorite tools, the “Power Pause,” a simple yet game-changing practice to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your urges, and make empowered choices.Topics Covered:Overcoming Cravings and Ineffective Habits for Lasting ChangeHarnessing the Mind for Hormonal Balance and Weight ReleaseUnderstanding Scarcity Mindset and Its Impact on ThoughtsThe Dangers of Unrealistic Weight Loss ExpectationsPersonalized Approaches to Healing Emotional Eating and Food RelationshipsUnderstanding Nighttime Snacking and Aligning with Circadian RhythmsHealing Trauma and Behavior Change Through Empowering ConversationsIf you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of starting over, this episode is for you.

Whether you're a high-performer or just feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your reminder to pause, breathe, and begin healing from within. About the Guest:Dr. Roberta Garceau blends her clinical background in dentistry and sleep medicine with Eastern healing practices to offer an integrative approach to wellness. She's the author of Bliss, Not Burnout, a practical guide for healthcare professionals and anyone seeking balance in a fast-paced world.

You've built momentum before. You've held it all—business, family, vision. And you've probably felt that moment when the weight of it all starts pressing back. For Jenna and Brad Ballard, that moment wasn't collapse. It was clarity—the kind that only comes when life demands something deeper than drive. As founders of ALA—Ascension Leadership Academy, they were guiding others through profound transformation, even as they navigated their own. Business growth, parenting two young boys, and a health crisis that shook their foundation—all at once. The mission never changed. The love never left. But the way they were holding it had to. This episode is about what happens when leaders choose evolution over endurance. When nervous system work becomes strategy. When joy, creativity, and emotional safety aren't rewards for making it—they're the reason you keep going. Brad built Fastlane Drive. Jenna answered the call to music. And together, they didn't walk away from anything—they found a new way to carry all of it, with presence, softness, and strength. They didn't quit the work. They became it.
