On today's episode, I sit down with Scott DeLuzio, an army veteran who served in the Connecticut Army National Guard as an infantryman between 2005-2011 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Scott discusses the challenges veterans face, including mental health issues and the search for purpose after service. He highlights the importance of community support, the complexities of combat experiences, and the role of humor in coping with trauma. During his deployment, tragically, Scott became a Gold Star Brother when his younger brother, Sergeant Steven DeLuzio was killed in action while they were both deployed only miles apart from each other in Afghanistan. Scott’s experiences in combat and the loss of his brother have fueled his passion for veteran advocacy and honoring the legacy of those who served. After returning home, Scott struggled with PTSD, grief, and the transition to civilian life. Determined to address the mental health challenges facing veterans, he launched the Drive On Podcast, now in its fifth year with over 450 episodes.

I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest dualities I know: being a badass in business and a devoted mama. Yep, we're talking about motherhood—the magic, the mess, and how it shakes up every damn thing, from your daily routine to your biggest business goals. I'm sharing the raw, real deal of what it's like to hold yourself to sky-high standards while also keeping tiny humans alive. Spoiler alert: it's not all curated Instagram stories and cute planners. We're getting into the gritty truth of what it really means to juggle entrepreneurship and motherhood. I'm dishing on how I've handled (and sometimes flopped through) external judgments, and how I've learned to stop looking for a gold star from the world and start validating myself. If you've ever felt like no one sees the hustle behind your highlight reel—this one's for you. Oh, and we're not stopping there. I'm calling out the self-imposed limitations we all put on ourselves. You know the ones—those little voices whispering “not enough.” It's time to shut them down and step into our full power. So if you're ready to stop waiting for permission and start owning your greatness as a mom, a leader, and a woman who's here to dominate—hit play now. Let's find your greatness… together.
