In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution. Hilary shares the powerful story behind her own "I'm done" moment—a pivotal experience that forced her to confront burnout, redefine her identity, and ultimately create the Relaunch Method that has helped thousands of women navigate major life transitions with confidence and intention. Together, Allison and Hilary discuss why so many high-achieving women feel stuck despite outward success, how identity shifts are often the missing piece in personal and professional growth, and why reinvention isn't about starting over—it's about building from the wisdom you've already earned.

Step into Episode 214 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Jeremiah, Air Force veteran, mortgage broker, and multi-unit franchisee of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, for a candid conversation about building multiple businesses, staying grounded through discipline, and why family-focused frozen treats are a surprisingly powerful vehicle for entrepreneurship. From opening his first location next to Corona del Sol High School in Chandler to expanding with a drive-through near Cardinal Stadium in Glendale, Jeremiah brings real talk on what it takes to run two companies at once without letting either one fall apart.The conversation covers Jeremiah's remarkable origin story — born in Guyana, raised in Brooklyn, trained as an Air Force veteran, and pivoting from aviation to mortgages to franchising — and why he's never once thought about retiring. Delo and Jeremiah go deep on the parallels between brokering mortgages and brokering insurance, the importance of systems and high-trust relationships with your team, and why "autopilot culture" is the fastest route to a failing business. You'll also hear about Delo's new book Risky Business: The Arizona Liquor Liability and Insurance Survival Guide, the power of waking up at 4:35 AM, the joy of watching anxious teenagers build confidence scooping gelati, and why authentic person-to-person connection beats transactional business every single time.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:26) Welcome, Delo's New Book Risky Business & Intro to Jeremiah(1:27 - 3:50) Queen Creek Growth, Arizona Roots & Origin Story(3:51 - 5:57) From Guyana to Brooklyn to the Air Force & Valley Living(5:58 - 8:12) Mortgage Brokering, Desert State Mortgage & The Broker Parallel(8:13 - 11:26) Discovering Jeremiah's Italian Ice & Opening the First Chandler Location(11:27 - 14:22) Youth Employment, Anxiety, Confidence Building & The Value of In-Person Work(14:23 - 17:07) The Jeremiah's Brand Story: Florida Roots, First Franchise in Arizona & 200 Locations(17:08 - 20:57) Family-Focused Model, Gelati, Drive-Throughs & What Makes Italian Ice Different(20:58 - 24:06) Managing Two Businesses, Daily Routine & Building a High-Trust Team(24:07 - 28:20) Health, Fitness, Prayer & Serving Mom: Staying Grounded Across It All(28:21 - 31:41) Franchising Advice: Know the Day-to-Day, Systems, and Work Ethic Required(31:47 - 38:38) Rapid Fire: Aliens, Tacos, Pull-Ups, AC/DC & Cheesecake Italian Ice

Dating gets exhausting when you feel like you're auditioning for approval. I sit down with Paul Roseberry, a relationship coach, matchmaker, and stand-up comic, to talk about a simpler foundation that makes everything clearer: security. Not fake confidence, not pick-up tactics, not pretending you don't care. Real relationship security, where interest is mutual, respect stays intact, and both people can relax into something healthy.We dig into why “too nice” can backfire when it's really fear in a friendly disguise, and how that dynamic can turn into people-pleasing, resentment, or control. Paul shares the coaching moments that pushed him to formalize what he calls the Security Method, including how small communication shifts (especially over texting) can change the tone from needy to grounded without being cold or manipulative. We also talk about masculinity in a modern way that's steady and attractive without being performative, plus the role encouragement and compliments play in keeping a relationship balanced.If you want practical dating advice you can use tonight, Paul walks us through “the fives” exercise. Then we land on one of my favorite takeaways: “flip the interview” so you stop chasing and start choosing with intention.

In this powerful episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I reconnect with Adrian D'Amico for a raw conversation about loss, rebuilding, masculinity, purpose and personal transformation. Adrian opens up about one of the darkest chapters of his life during the plandemic, losing his real estate business, coaching career, marriage and identity, before finding himself living back at his mother's house at 42 years old. But instead of staying broken, Adrian chose to rebuild. The conversation dives deep into resilience, fatherhood, self-reflection, dating after divorce, mindset, visualisation and the power of creating a new reality after life falls apart. Adrian also shares how starting his podcast “Conversations with Adrian” opened unexpected doors, leading him to interviews with major figures including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Christiane Northrup. I also shares parts of my own journey from launching my podcast after Adrian's encouragement to eventually finding love and purpose through the process. This is an episode about starting over, backing yourself and realising that sometimes losing everything becomes the beginning of becoming who you were meant to be.

But one moment, one story, one decision to believe something bigger was possible, set him on a path that would eventually lead him to the CEO seat.This conversation dives deep into what it really takes to grow into leadership, how calculated risks can redefine your career, and why the leaders who win today are the ones who lead with trust, vulnerability, and genuine care.From spotting opportunity before it's obvious, to building a culture that fuels performance, to redefining what great leadership actually looks like, this episode is a powerful reminder that success is not a straight line, it's a series of brave choices made consistently over time.If you've ever questioned whether you're capable of more, or felt the pull toward something bigger but hesitated to act, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what's possible.You'll hear about:Why one moment of belief can completely change the trajectory of your lifeHow Dan Turner turned a bold hunch into a multi-million dollar opportunityThe real reason most people stay stuck in their comfort zoneWhy risk is required if you want to reach your full potentialHow confidence is built through action, not certaintyThe mindset shift that turns “failure” into growthWhy opportunity rarely announces itself, and how to spot it earlyHow proactive thinking separates top performers from everyone elseThe role persistence plays in long-term successWhy stepping outside your comfort zone is non-negotiable for growthWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to Dan Turner and Xperigo02:30 From tow truck driver to CEO, the origin story05:00 The moment that sparked a bold, long-term vision08:00 Why big goals feel overwhelming, and how to start anyway11:00 Comfort zones vs. growth, why staying safe keeps you stuck14:00 The Apple iPhone story, spotting opportunity before the world sees it17:30 Turning a bold idea into a multi-million dollar deal20:00 Risk, doubt, and why the upside is always worth it23:00 The mindset that separates leaders from followers25:30 Culture vs performance, why they fuel each other28:00 Building trust, transparency, and high-performing teams31:00 Leadership today, why vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness34:00 The future of leadership and building a legacy that lastsConnect with DanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/turnerdan/ Website: https://www.xperigo.com/ Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next level is a subconscious story you didn't even realize you were carrying? In this transformational conversation, Allison Walsh is joined by Tiffany Cohen — subconscious strategist, energetic healer, founder of Spirit and Soul Studio, and creator of The Billion Dollar Healer™ Method — to unpack the hidden beliefs, patterns, and energetic blocks that shape our lives, relationships, confidence, money mindset, and success. Tiffany explains how 95% of our lives are driven by the subconscious mind and why many women unknowingly operate from childhood programming, fear, scarcity, and safety patterns that keep them playing small. Together, Allison and Tiffany dive into the power of healing work, manifestation, self-worth, abundance, identity transformation, and what it really takes to become the version of yourself capable of holding more. Throughout the episode, Tiffany shares: How subconscious beliefs shape your reality Why awareness is the first step to transformation The connection between healing and manifestation How to break through money ceilings and self-sabotage Why imposter syndrome shows up during growth seasons How to navigate evolving friendships and relationships What it means to live in the “messy middle” Her journey from corporate America to becoming The Billion Dollar Healer™ This episode is a reminder that confidence is built through action, healing is a lifelong journey, and the version of you you're becoming already exists within you. If you've been craving more alignment, abundance, clarity, confidence, or purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired to stop shrinking, trust yourself fully, and finally step into the life you know you're meant for.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Ellie Barbour, a candlemaker and content creator who recently left her job as a high school PE teacher to pursue her business full time. Ellie shares being identified as dyslexic in primary school, receiving a formal diagnosis in later primary, and the impact of confidence, stigma, and support such as Touch Type Read and Spell. She describes a difficult first year of high school with missed support, followed by a pivotal move to Morrison's Academy where small classes, learning support, and mind mapping transformed her study strategies, including using a scribe in exams. The conversation explores dyslexia strengths, teaching as a role model, possible ADHD, and how her all-in focus helped grow her taper-candle business from a lockdown hobby to markets and beyond.This podcast is sponsored by ivvi.

Induljunk el egy könnyebb pályán!"En: "Don't worry, Évi! Let's start with an easier slope!"Hu: János nem volt biztos benne, de bízott Tamarában.En: János wasn't sure, but he trusted Tamara.Hu: Éva tétovázott, de tudta, hogy a testvérei csak jót akarnak neki.En: Éva hesitated but knew her siblings only wanted the best for her.Hu: Lassú léptekkel, de elindultak a kisebb lejtő felé.En: With slow steps, they headed towards the smaller slope.Hu: Tamara előrement, Éva pedig követte, kissé bizonytalanul, de eltökélten.En: Tamara went ahead, and Éva followed, a bit uncertain but determined.Hu: Ahogy Éva elérte a lejtő kezdetét, a szíve hevesebben vert.En: As Éva reached the start of the slope, her heart beat faster.Hu: "Én nem tudom megcsinálni" suttogta maga elé, de Tamara biztatóan mosolygott rá.En: "I can't do this," she whispered to herself, but Tamara smiled at her encouragingly.Hu: "Csak nézz előre, Éva! Ez könnyebb, mint gondolnád!"En: "Just look ahead, Éva! It's easier than you think!"Hu: Éva mély levegőt vett, és elrugaszkodott.En: Éva took a deep breath and pushed off.Hu: Az első pillanatban lezuhanni készült, de hamar ráérzett a ritmusra és a hó monoton suhogására a léc alatt.En: At first, she felt like she was about to fall, but she quickly got into the rhythm and felt the monotonous swish of the snow under her skis.Hu: Tamara mellette siklott, vigyázva, hogy ne legyen túl gyors.En: Tamara glided beside her, careful not to go too fast.Hu: Ahogy elértek a lejtő aljára, Éva szinte csodálkozva nézett körbe.En: As they reached the bottom of the slope, Éva looked around almost in amazement.Hu: "Ez... ez nagyszerű volt. Sikerült!"En: "That... that was great. I did it!"Hu: János és Tamara tapssal üdvözölték őt.En: János and Tamara greeted her with applause.Hu: "Büszkék vagyunk rád!" mondták egyszerre.En: "We're proud of you!" they said in unison.Hu: Éva arcán mosoly terült szét.En: A smile spread across Éva's face.Hu: Úgy érezte, hogy valami új kezdődött el.En: She felt that something new had begun.Hu: Most, hogy a könnyebb lejtőt legyőzte, Éva már alig várta a következő napot a hegyen.En: Now that she had conquered the easier slope, Éva couldn't wait for the next day on the mountain.Hu: A testvérei társaságában, a fák alatt búcsúzó hóval, Éva megtalálta az önbizalmát.En: In the company of her siblings, amidst the trees and the parting snow, Éva found her confidence.Hu: A hétvége végére Éva már egyre bátrabban próbált ki új dolgokat, és tudta, hogy a nehéz idők után mindig jön egy szép tavasz.En: By the end of the weekend, Éva was trying new things more and more bravely, and she knew that after difficult times, a beautiful spring always comes.

Confidence, clarity, and speaking when it matters.Confident communication isn't about being the loudest in the room. For Susie Wolff, it's about displaying assurance before you even open your mouth.Wolff is a former professional race car driver, managing director of F1 Academy, and author of Driven. Throughout her career in one of the world's most male-dominated industries, she's learned that confidence starts within. “If you want others to believe in you, you need to at least have confidence in your own abilities,” she says. By letting her capabilities speak for themselves, Wolff felt she didn't have to. “I was never the loudest voice in the room. But I made sure when I did speak that I really had something to say.”In this special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Tiggy Valen, Wolff shares how inner drive creates outer clarity. From delivering hard truths with empathy to achieving buy-in for a bold vision, Wolff offers lessons on communicating with confidence, even in the face of stiff competition.Episode Reference Links:Susie WolffSusie's Book: DrivenTiggy ValenPaddock ProjectEp.235 Refine, Reframe, Repeat: Make Your Communication a Slam Dunk  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:06) - Early Motorsport Passion (04:01) - Finding Your Voice (05:33) - Building Confidence (06:28) - Becoming a Leader (08:48) - Cross-Cultural Communication (09:57) - Building F1 Academy (14:20) - Giving Tough Feedback (17:32) - Embracing Discomfort (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (26:18) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon sits down with Carrie KC West to explore how hidden internal narratives shape the way entrepreneurs lead, make decisions, and grow their businesses. For many “Accidental CEOs,” these stories were never consciously chosen, yet they quietly influence everything from confidence to client relationships.Carrie introduces the concept of narrative coaching and explains how patterns, perspectives, and past experiences can create repeated cycles that keep women playing small or stuck in roles that no longer fit. She shares how awareness is the first step to change and why trying to force transformation without understanding the underlying story often leads to frustration.Listeners will walk away with practical ways to identify limiting patterns, interrupt reactive thinking, and begin shifting their perspective in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.If you've ever asked yourself why the same challenges keep showing up, this episode will help you start seeing the answers more clearly.Timestamps:(01:50) - (07:30) - What narrative coaching is and how identity shapes leadership(07:31) - (14:20) - The Accidental CEO mindset and the identity gap women face(14:21) - (23:30) - How internal stories create conflict across different roles(23:31) - (32:20) - Recognizing patterns and the stories that keep repeating(32:21) - (41:00) - Micro moments of change and interrupting reactive thinking(41:01) - (50:10) - Awareness, perspective shifts, and rewriting your storyResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastBook a 30-Minute Story Session with Carrie: https://carriekcwest.comGet the book Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith: https://amzn.to/4sUevWJGet the book Not Nice by Dr. Aziz Gazipura: https://amzn.to/4uh78d4Connect with Carrie KC West:Learn more about Carrie: https://carriekcwest.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/carriekcwest/Instagram: @storytellers_acadYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carriekc33LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carriekcwest/Carrie KC West is an author, speaker, and narrative coach, and the founder of The Life Rewrite System.

In this episode, Alun Bedding speaks with Richard Zink about how **applied improvisation** can help statisticians become more effective communicators and leaders. They explore how improv techniques—like “yes, and,” active listening, and embracing mistakes—build confidence, strengthen collaboration, and improve the way we explain complex ideas. This conversation shows that developing interpersonal skills doesn't have to be theoretical or boring—it can be practical, interactive, and even fun. If you want to communicate your ideas more clearly, connect better with stakeholders, and grow beyond technical expertise, this episode is for you.

What stops you from speaking up when it matters most?This week on Think Fast Talk Smart, we're featuring a special episode from TED Business. Healthcare leader Sarah Crawford-Bohl offers a practical, compassionate framework to have difficult conversations with clarity and heart — and shows how it can lead to stronger teams and real impact.TED Business is a podcast from TED that offers you a new idea and perspective for any business conundrum — whether you want to learn how to land that promotion, set smart goals, undo injustice at work, or unlock the next big innovation. Every Monday, host Modupe Akinola of Columbia Business School presents the most powerful and surprising ideas that illuminate the business world. After the talk, you'll get a mini-lesson from Modupe on how to apply the ideas in your own life — because business evolves every day, and our ideas about it should, too.

Today, I interview Andrea Horvath who struggled to speak up for most of her life due to a fear that using her voice would lead to rejection. She followed expectations, stayed quiet, and avoided conflict, which affected her confidence and ability to express herself.Raised in a strict environment, Andrea learned that questioning the norm could mean being labeled “crazy” and risking connection. She built a stable life with a CPA career and family, but kept her thoughts and voice suppressed for years.When her daughter showed signs something was wrong, her concerns were dismissed. Instead of staying silent, she spent nearly two years seeking answers, choosing to trust her intuition and speak up despite the discomfort.Today, Andrea helps leaders reconnect with their voice and build confidence in how they show up, focusing on self-trust and grounded self-expression in their speaking and leadership.__________________Andrea is a high-performance mentor for corporate leaders and executives seeking measurable and meaningful growth fueled by alignment.For more than two decades, she rose as a CPA and leader in corporate, driving performance at the highest level while learning how to achieve without compromise and hold both success and peace at once.Today, she mentors high-performing, awakened leaders to reach the next level of success in their careers and life from a place of deep alignment and inner authority. Her work combines energetic alignment and strategy to support leaders in elevating their leadership and stepping into greater opportunities.She is also a speaker who works with organizations and teams ready to lead and perform at a higher level without abandoning who they are.__________________Find Andrea here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreamhorvath/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-V0tlhCwHkNED3kD1G0KAhttps://www.andreahorvath.com/titlepaypeaceform Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Great communication isn't about saying more—it's about making what you say matter.If we want to communicate more effectively, we need to treat communication less like a habit—and more like a series of intentional choices. In this special feed drop, we're featuring a conversation from the ⁠Masters of Scale⁠ podcast, where host ⁠Jeff Berman⁠ sits down with Stanford lecturer and ⁠Think Fast, Talk Smart ⁠host Matt Abrahams to explore what it really takes to communicate with intention.Most of us default to what feels natural—long-winded openings, generic pitches, or focusing on what we want to say. But as Matt explains, effective communication starts with the audience. Get to the point quickly. Focus on what's relevant. “Tell the time, don't build the clock.”From high-stakes presentations to job interviews and everyday interactions, Matt shares practical, science-backed strategies for showing up with clarity and confidence. Communication is something we all do every day—but doing it well, especially when it counts, takes intention.

Host Trevor Schmidt chats with five powerhouse voices — Abha Bowers, Head of Strategic Partnerships at CED; Anna Tharrington, Partner at Hutchison PLLC; Zakiya Alta Lee, Principal at Idea Fund Partners; Seema Nand, CEO and Co-founder of South Sim Biotech; and Elizabeth Kelly, Managing Director at Pappas Capital — about what it truly takes to close the gender gap in entrepreneurship and venture capital. Recorded live on the eve of the Venture Connect Conference at the Strength in Numbers mixer, this episode captures an ecosystem mid-momentum: a community of founders, investors, and allies who are done waiting for the conversation to change and are actively changing it themselves. From Zakiya's practical framework for diversifying VC deal-flow sourcing, to Seema's first FDA meeting milestone, to Liz's candid admission that early-stage investing is lonelier than people think, the episode is a rare, unfiltered look at the real infrastructure being built to support underrepresented founders in the Triangle. Plus, Zakiya Alta Lee reframes the "only woman in the room" dynamic entirely — flipping the script on a familiar frustration into a pitch-room superpower, reminding founders that the unicorn in the room is exactly who everyone is looking for. Hosted by Trevor Schmidt, Founder Shares is brought to you by Hutchison PLLC.

In today's episode, I'm opening up an honest and vulnerable conversation around growth, identity, and the reality of outgrowing people as you evolve. Fresh off a powerful call inside my Visibility Accelerator program, I'm sharing a perspective that truly stopped me in my tracks: trusting the timing of people leaving your life. We dive into what that actually means, how it can feel, and why it might be one of the most necessary parts of stepping into your next level.Tune in to hear more about: • What it really means to trust the timing of people leaving your life and how to reframe it • Why growth naturally creates separation and how to navigate the emotions that come with it • How your identity, standards, and energy evolve as you step into your next level • The uncomfortable truth about not being able to take everyone with you as you rise • How creating space allows more aligned, supportive, and expansive relationships to enterGrowth isn't always easy, and sometimes it comes with letting go of people, patterns, and even past versions of yourself. But on the other side of that space is alignment, expansion, and deeper connection with the right people. I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone in this and that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

Today, I interview Karen Rudolf who believed she wasn't enough and learned early on to stay quiet, especially after being told as a child to stop asking questions. That moment shaped how she saw herself. She became very quiet, carried that into her relationships, and continued to feel small and unheard into adulthood.Growing up, her curiosity was shut down, and with a mother who was also timid and a people pleaser, she learned not to speak up. She entered a relationship where her voice was again dismissed, reinforcing the belief that what she thought and felt did not matter.Everything began to shift when her life circumstances intensified. Going through a divorce while raising three daughters, facing health issues like hair loss and a pre-diabetes diagnosis, and even being told she might not walk again forced her to confront how she had been living. These moments pushed her to listen to herself and realize she could no longer stay silent.She began to speak up, ask for what she needed, and trust her intuition. Today, Karen uses her voice to help others uncover the root cause of their patterns and express who they truly are.__________________Karen Rudolf is the founder of Tranquil SOULutions™, where science meets soul to support high-performing, heart-led women and leaders shift out of survival mode and into grounded alignment.With a background in nursing and training in neuroscience-informed tools, somatic awareness, and trauma-release principles, she helps clients reconnect with their inner voice, regulate their nervous system, and lead from a place of embodied clarity.Karen is also the creator of the Tranquil SOULutions Mind Mosaic™ and The Butterfly Technique, practical and intuitive frameworks for decision-making and inner realignment.

Join Kim, Marquia, and Ednesha as they discuss the unspoken and often suppressed needs of Black women, exploring how societal conditioning influences our capacity to ask for help. The needs we were taught to downplay, deny, or carry alone. It's about the ways Black women learn to be dependable, capable, and low-maintenance, often at the cost of ourselves. We're naming what we need emotionally, physically, and relationally, and challenging the belief that needing support makes us weak, selfish, or burdensome. Your needs aren't a burden. They're information about what you need to feel whole and sis, it's time to listen. Join us as we uncover ways to honor your needs without shame and build stronger, more authentic support systems.Main Topics:The cultural messages around independence and asking for help among Black womenRecognizing and identifying different ways needs manifest and are communicatedOvercoming fears and shame associated with vulnerability and support-seekingPractical strategies to name, communicate, and receive needs with confidenceBuilding safety and trust in support systems and relationships

What if your results have nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with how you see yourself? In this episode, I break down the powerful difference between identity and self-image and why most people are focusing on the wrong one. Your self-image is the internal blueprint shaping your decisions, your confidence, and ultimately your results. I share how I went from appearing confident on the outside while struggling internally, to consciously rewriting the way I see  myself, and everything changed. You'll learn how to create a new self-image, embody it daily, and align your actions with the version of you who already has what you desire. This is the real work behind manifestation and sustainable success. When you upgrade your self-image, you upgrade your life.I am inviting you to the Momentum Summit on April 15th at Hamilton (Toronto), Canada - a full-day, high-touch experience for women who are building businesses, leading teams, and carrying real responsibility and are ready to stop operating from pressure, proving, or perfectionism. https://empress.danielleamos.co/momentum/*Get 20% OFF  when you input the code “DANIELLEGUEST” upon checkout.Get exclusive access to powerful behind-the-scenes riffs I only share with my inner circle.
