In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Marc Pitman, founder of the Concord Leadership Group and author of The Surprising Gift of Doubt, for a conversation about something even highly successful leaders experience: uncertainty. We talk about what happens when doubt starts creeping into your leadership, career, finances, or identity and why that uncertainty doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes, it's an invitation to lead differently. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-doubt often surfaces when leaders enter a new season or level of growth How to separate failure from your identity and give yourself permission to get things wrong The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing as a leader Why having safe people and strong support systems matters when you're carrying significant responsibility How scarcity, fear, and your inner critic can influence leadership decisions Why dropping the "mask and armor" can create more authentic collaboration and connection Practical tools for understanding your leadership style and working through moments of doubt Marc also shares some of the personal failures, pivots, and unexpected seasons that shaped the way he leads today. If you're navigating a season where the old answers aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different way to look at uncertainty, not as something you need to eliminate, but as information you can learn to lead through.

What happens when a legal case becomes global entertainment?When a celebrity is accused of serious wrongdoing, the public rarely waits for a courtroom verdict before forming an opinion. News headlines, documentaries, podcasts, social media commentary and viral clips can shape a narrative long before all the available evidence has been examined.In this compelling episode of A Voice and Beyond, I speak with attorney and legal commentator James Porfido about the complex relationship between celebrity, media influence, public opinion and the justice system.Drawing on high-profile cases involving figures such as Michael Jackson and Sean "Diddy" Combs, James explores what happens when allegations are tried simultaneously in a courtroom and in the court of public opinion.Our conversation is not about declaring guilt or innocence. Instead, it examines how we consume stories about public figures, how easily allegation can be confused with proof and why critical thinking is essential when legal proceedings become part of popular culture.In this episode, we discuss:Why public opinion is not the same as a legal verdictThe difference between an allegation, evidence and proofHow celebrity status can influence the way legal cases are reportedMichael Jackson's legal history and the continuing debate surrounding his legacyThe complexity around cases involving Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jeffrey EpsteinWhether celebrity defendants can receive a genuinely fair trialHow confirmation bias affects the information we accept or rejectWhy due process matters, even when public emotions are intenseThe danger of confusing online popularity with credibilityHow audiences can become more responsible consumers of legal contentThis episode is ultimately a conversation about media literacy, justice and personal responsibility.It is a reminder that critical thinking does not mean dismissing allegations or refusing to believe those who come forward. It means holding space for seriousness and compassion while also respecting evidence, due process and the presumption of innocence.Find James Here:justicewithporfido.com/facebook.com/porfidolawinstagram.com/jamesporfido/linkedin.com/in/james-m-porfido-b007461a1/Book:Unequal Justice: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scalesxlibris.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/861729-unequal-justiceFind Marisa online:Website: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmarisaleenaismith/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmarisaleenaismith/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.lee.12YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@avoiceandbeyond3519/videosResources:MLN Coaching Program: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/mentoring/Schedule a Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/info-56015/discovery Gratitude Journal: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/in-gratitude-my-daily-self-journal/Download your eBook: Thriving in a Creative Industry: https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/product/ebook-thriving-in-a-creative-industry-dr-marisa-lee-naismith/Like this episode?

As a working parent, I've realized that staying ahead isn't about having a perfect planner, it's about creating a rhythm that helps you see what's coming before it becomes overwhelming. In this solo episode, I'm sharing one of the simplest planning habits I've adopted through coaching that's completely changed how I approach my weeks. It takes just a few minutes every Friday, but it's helped me feel more proactive, prepared, and present at work and at home. In this episode, I walk through: My 90/9 planning method and why I look 90 days ahead while planning the next nine days in detail How to spot scheduling conflicts, childcare needs, and busy seasons before they become stressful Why I plan my work and family commitments together instead of treating them separately How to intentionally build in recovery after demanding weeks, travel, or big projects The mindset shift of "dropping the standard on purpose" and giving yourself permission to move from Plan A to Plan B when life changes This isn't about becoming more productive. It's about creating a planning rhythm that helps you lead your work, support your family, and protect your energy without feeling like you're constantly reacting. If you've been craving a little more margin and a little less chaos, I think this simple weekly practice will make a bigger difference than you expect.

In this episode, I'm joined by Melissa Doman, organizational psychologist, former therapist, and author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work and Cornered Office, for an honest conversation about the mental and emotional realities leaders are navigating today.

"What if parasites aren't actually the reason you're still sick?" Parasites have become one of the hottest topics in the wellness world. And while they may absolutely be part of the picture...

In this episode, we're talking about the missing pieces most people overlook—digestion, minerals, drainage, immune health, and nervous system regulation—and why chasing parasites alone may be keeping you stuck.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Not a Bad Marriage, But the Future Looked Disconnected: David's Transformation Journey One of the biggest lies couples believe is this: "This is just what marriage becomes." The excitement fades. The connection weakens. The emotional intimacy disappears. And we convince ourselves that's normal. This is where David found himself. His marriage wasn't falling apart, but it wasn't thriving either. He was starting to see small cracks ("micro-fissures" as he called them) in the foundation. As a couple, they were functioning fine–paying bills, raising kids, managing life– but somewhere along the way, they had stopped truly connecting. When looking for advice, he would hear things like: "That's marriage." "That's life." "Honeymoon's over." But God offers something different. Marriage was never designed to be two people surviving under the same roof; it was designed to reflect Christ's love. To be life-giving. Refreshing. Connected. When David stopped focusing on what was missing and started focusing on becoming the husband God was calling him to be, everything began to shift. His wife became more vulnerable. Their conversations deepened. Their friendship grew. Hope returned. And perhaps the best part of the story is this: his children started noticing. They watched their dad plan surprises for their mom. They helped him prepare dates! They saw affection, intentionality, and joy. That's generational impact. You are not meant to settle for a marriage that merely functions. God has something better than survival. And the beautiful part? The journey starts with just one willing heart.

I really like DYM and appreciate [Belah] and the program very much. The step-by-step nature is good. It's both simple and hard at the same time. Your content makes me think and ponder very deeply, which is not something I've done much and really makes me want to improve as a person. No other program has touched me as deeply."

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt disappointed... If you've ever believed the lie that your body isn't beautiful enough, desirable enough, or worthy enough... I want you to know something. That voice is not God's voice. The God who knit you together in your mother's womb did not make a mistake when He made you. Your body is not something to be ashamed of. Your story is not something to hide. Your weaknesses are not proof that you've failed. In fact, some of the sweetest intimacy in marriage happens when we stop pretending we're perfect and allow ourselves to be fully seen. Seen physically. Seen emotionally. Seen fully & honestly. The enemy would love for you to stay hidden behind shame. But God invites you into freedom. He invites you into connection. He invites you into the warmth that comes when we stop performing and start being known. You don't have to arrive at perfection before you allow yourself to be loved. You are already loved. And that changes everything. With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team (Shownotes written with AI assistance) PS - Wives, want to know more about the Course mentioned in this episode?

I thought them but I didn't tell him. I'm not good at being playful. Learning how to be more playful has helped our marriage... [He] is my eternal companion and I know we make a great team. Having my girls see how we interact and see our happiness will be a great example for their families."
What happens when you achieve the success you thought you wanted… and still don't feel fulfilled? In this episode, I'm joined by Meghan French Dunbar, founder of Conscious Company Magazine and author of This Isn't Working, for a conversation about ambition, burnout, identity, and what it means to build a successful life without sacrificing yourself in the process. After founding and scaling a nationally recognized media company, interviewing more than 1,000 business leaders, and leading as CEO for years, Meghan found herself burned out, depleted, and questioning everything. What followed was a period of deep reflection that ultimately reshaped how she thinks about leadership, success, and personal fulfillment. In this conversation, we talk about: Why external success doesn't always create internal fulfillment The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation How ambition can become tangled with identity and self-worth The hidden costs of chronic self-sacrifice and overachievement What sustainable leadership actually looks like in practice The workplace models and leadership philosophies challenging traditional definitions of success How to build a career, company, and life that support both performance and well-being Meghan also shares insights from her book, This Isn't Working, and why more leaders are questioning old definitions of achievement in search of something more sustainable.

Why do corporate employees romanticize entrepreneurship… while entrepreneurs secretly crave the stability of a paycheck? In this episode, I'm unpacking a conversation I think more people need to have honestly—because the answer isn't as simple as "quit your job" or "play it safe." Having worked in corporate, built a business in direct sales, and now running my own coaching and consulting company, I've experienced both worlds firsthand. And what I've learned is this: Every path solves problems. And every path creates them too. This episode is less about labels and more about understanding what you actually need in this season of life. We talk about: The real tradeoffs between corporate careers and entrepreneurship—including stability, autonomy, pressure, growth, flexibility, and lifestyle sustainability Why social media oversimplifies the "quit your job" narrative The realities of dual-income households, financial runway, and responsible career planning The pressure and blurred boundaries that often come with entrepreneurship Why many W2 roles offer more support, predictability, and structure than people realize How to evaluate what truly matters to you in this season of life Why hybrid career paths and evolving seasons may be a better fit than extremes The importance of building a life and career that leave you energized, aligned, and fully alive Here are the some great resources I wanted to share with you: Book a Free Clarity Call https://www.mollyasplin.com/subscribe molly@mollyasplin.com Follow Me on Instagram Growth Day App - 7 Day Free Trial Are you looking to improve performance and team effectiveness across your team?

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest mistakes I see women make when trying to heal their hormones, IBS, bloating and fatigue: trying to do everything at once. I explain why more healthy habits does not automatically equal better results, and why strategy, prioritisation and understanding your root causes matters far more than perfection. I also share examples around PCOS, thyroid health and estrogen metabolism to show how focusing on the right 2-3 actions can completely change results. If your health feels overwhelming, confusing or like a full-time job, this episode is for you. Resources & Links Book your FREE Clarity Call: keziahall.com/book
What if we treated our health the same way high performers approach leadership and business strategy? In this episode, I'm joined by John Goldman, founder and CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, for a conversation about building a more intentional, data-informed approach to health, performance, and longevity.

Tonya Comer's story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose.From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States.Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation. Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere.Tonya Comer is on a mission to ignite a Global Love Revolution—by guiding high-achieving women home to themselves. She believes that when a woman heals from shame and self-doubt and rises into wholeness and self-love, everything around her transforms. Her life becomes an extension of her truth. Her relationships deepen. Her leadership expands. Her work opens to something greater than the grind—it opens to purpose and service.In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for Designing Your Life is more than a book.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right, but still getting overlooked this episode will connect a lot of dots. I'm joined by Nicole Johnston, a former Fortune 50 leader turned coach, who spent 30 years inside large organizations before helping women advance with more clarity and confidence. What she saw over and over again? Highly capable women missing opportunities not because of performance, but because of how their leadership is perceived. In this conversation, we break down what actually drives promotions and it's not just execution. We talk about: Why promotions are based on perceived leadership potential, not just results and how to communicate like a leader (clear, concise, and outcome-focused) The importance of visibility and how "invisible work" at work and home can quietly hold you back What to do when you hit a mid-career plateau and how to use feedback to assess whether it's strategy or environment How to rethink the mental load and start redistributing responsibilities more intentionally Why financial confidence matters and how to advocate for your pay, benefits, and flexibility Nicole also shares insights from her book, opening up conversations around topics many women haven't been given language for from self-care to navigating leadership and life.

For a long time, I believed that being a strong leader meant being the one who could do it all. Execute quickly. Solve problems. Step in when needed. In this conversation, I sit down with Jim Brown, a consultant who has spent over 30 years working with boards and senior leadership teams to build healthier, higher-performing organizations. Jim shares his own leadership evolution from being the "go-to" leader who drove results, to realizing that his competence was actually limiting his team. We talk about what it really looks like to shift from being the doer to the leader who develops others and why that shift is essential if you want a team that performs without depending on you for everything. In this episode, we cover: Why high-performing leaders often become the bottleneck (without realizing it) The real reason leaders struggle to delegate What it means to move from "hero leader" to "supportive leader" Why avoiding hard conversations quietly erodes team culture How accountability and care work together not against each other Why asking better questions builds stronger, more capable teams The role of psychological safety in driving performance Jim also shares insights from his book, The Imperfect CEO, and why letting go of perfection and control is one of the most powerful things a leader can do. If you're leading a team and feeling the weight of being the one everyone depends on, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership and give you a clearer path forward.

Are you feeling constantly tired and run down, or finding that your body simply isn't bouncing back the way it used to?The reason may lie deeper than we often realize, at the level of our cells.In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, I'm once again joined by clinical pharmacist, wellness expert, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, Dr. Nayan Patel. Since 1999, Dr Patel has worked closely with physicians to custom-develop medication and hormone protocols for patients ranging from everyday individuals to CEOs, celebrities, and medical professionals.Dr Patel is also the author of The Glutathione Revolution and a frequent guest on leading health and longevity podcasts, where he shares groundbreaking insights into cellular health and antioxidant support.In this episode, we explore the powerful role of glutathione, a molecule often referred to as the “master antioxidant". Despite its crucial role in human health and longevity, many people, myself included until recently, have never heard of it. Yet glutathione may be one of the most important molecules in the body.Dr Patel explains how supporting glutathione levels can help improve energy, strengthen resilience, support detoxification, and protect our cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress. What I particularly appreciated about this conversation is how Dr Patel translates complex science into practical, empowering knowledge that anyone can understand and apply.Listen now if you're interested in understanding how your body functions at a deeper level and how to support your long-term health and vitality.

Hormone health impacts everything—energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, confidence, and how we show up in our lives.
