 We welcome Jill Amy Sager—an award-winning author, public speaker, intuitive Tarot reader, and spiritual channel whose story is as inspiring as it is transformative. Jill's journey began in the late 1970s when she first studied Tarot, never imagining that it would lead her to channel wisdom from the Universe—what she lovingly calls “Guidance.” Over time, her gift as a spiritual medium grew, and today she serves an international clientele, offering clarity, healing, and connection through the Tarot and intuitive messages.

She credits the wisdom of the Tarot and the love of Universal Guidance for transforming her self-image and helping her embrace a life of confidence and purpose. Her creative journey is just as remarkable. Once a percussionist, Jill became an author when her book Beginning Hand Drumming: A Guide to Recreation and Wellness was published by Carl Fischer Music. Since then, her work has been featured in outlets such as Women Writers, Women's Books, Story Circle, Awakened Magazine, The Register Guard, Silver Birch Press, Authority Magazine, and The Power of Each Breath: A Disabled Women's Anthology.

If you can't relax, get up and leave the bedroom and do something boring or soothing until you feel sleepy.  Solving insomnia isn't easy. Check out the resources on my website.

In this episode, Agnieszka is joined by Greg Singleton to explore the foundational concept of Trader Identity—the often-overlooked root of trading success.

Today, I interview Junie Moon, who grew up bright and bubbly, until one look from her mother made her feel unloved. Her free spirit met a controlling household where even a glance could silence her. By eight, she had learned to dim her light just to stay safe.

It shaped her relationships, her body, and her belief that her voice didn't matter.But something changed. A moment came when she couldn't stay quiet any longer—not for herself, and not for the person she loved most. That moment set her on the path to healing.Today, Junie helps women uncover the hidden fears that silence them and teaches them how to build trust in themselves again, so they can speak up, show up, and call in lasting love.__________________Junie Moon is the CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, bestselling author, women's empowerment leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach.

What does it truly take to build a thriving career in Hollywood? Emmy award-winning actress and producer Karina Michel pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry in this captivating conversation about resilience, authenticity, and creative evolution.Karina's remarkable journey began far from the bright lights of Hollywood—in a small town in England where, at just three years old, she declared to her parents she wanted to be an actress. Through twists of fate, including being discovered by a photographer at an Ohio mall, she built a career spanning over 100 projects, including appearances in Dexter, Entourage, CSI: New York, and Transformers 2.What makes Karina's story particularly compelling is her ability to evolve with changing circumstances. When a writers' strike halted her acting work, she pivoted to producing at a time when female producers were rare. This transition coincided with motherhood, allowing her the flexibility to remain in entertainment while being present for her children. Beyond acting and producing, she has expanded her creative portfolio as a writer for Rolling Stone and Authority Magazine, as well as the host of her podcast, "Coffee with Karina: Entertainment Unfiltered."Throughout our conversation, Karina shares invaluable wisdom for aspiring entertainment professionals. She emphasizes the critical importance of networking, the need to begin local and build experience, and the power of embracing imperfection rather than waiting for ideal conditions. Her definition of boldness—"not giving in to fear in any way"—serves as both her philosophy and her message to listeners hesitant to pursue their creative dreams.Discover why authenticity remains the cornerstone of creative success and how facing your fears might open doors to worlds you never imagined possible.

In today's podcast Sam has “The Biz Doctor,” founder and CEO of Golden Key Partnership, Lauren Goldstein on for a juicy conversation on the importance of mental health for entrepreneurs and business leaders.  Topics Include: Mental health is crucial for business success. Isolation can be a significant challenge for leaders. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. It's okay to quit if you've given it your all. Building a business should align with your life, not the other way around. Consistency is key to long-term success. Relationships in business should not be transactional. You can't take client feedback personally. Hiring the right people is essential for growth. Finding your internal magic is vital for fulfillment. Many entrepreneurs struggle with the fear of letting go, which can hinder their business growth. Understanding the type of business you want is crucial for long-term success. Aligning business goals with personal values leads to a more fulfilling entrepreneurial journey. Self-awareness is key to understanding how to operate effectively in business. Mental health is significantly impacted by sleep, connection, and purpose. Finding joy in work can be achieved by focusing on the 20% of tasks you love. It's important to have hobbies and prioritize fun outside of work. Hiring should focus on the DNA of a person rather than just their experience. You can still be successful even if you don't love every aspect of your job. Breaking the habit of being yourself can lead to authentic living.
