He doesn't only work with instuments, he creates a relationship with them, listening to what it needs in order to be an instrument of frequency and sound.

What if the reason you haven't reached your goal has nothing to do with motivation? Would that make you happy or annoyed? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, gets honest about something most coaches won't admit and reframes the entire conversation around what's actually keeping you stuck. She makes the case that you don't have a motivation problem at all, and that could be a big relief.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why motivation is a feeling, not a strategy and why you can't rely on it to carry a 6-month, 1-year, or 5-year goalThe book writing story: what Diane was missing that had nothing to do with motivation and what finally got it doneWhy losing motivation doesn't mean you picked the wrong goal, you're lazy, or you're failing. The first thing you're probably missing instead of motivation and why vague goals are impossible to act on no matter how inspired you feelThe comparison trap Diane fell into while managing a business with two kids under three and what her coach said that completely reframed itWhy we create plans for the fantasy version of our lives instead of our real ones and what it costs usWhy following through for someone else is so much easier than following through for yourself and how to use thatThe simple reframe: you don't have a motivation problem, you have a clarity, plan, or support problemComing up: She's Goaled Group Coaching Mastermind is opening in August 2026 for a September start.

Have you ever found yourself questioning your value, second-guessing your decisions, or wondering if the changing market means it's time to play smaller? Even the most experienced experts can fall into the trap of letting fear, uncertainty, or outside circumstances shape the choices they make. I've been there myself, and I know how easy it is to start looking for evidence outside of ourselves instead of trusting the wisdom we've already earned. In episode 502 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm airing a powerful conversation from my Substack, Growth Fuel with Eva Gregory – an award-winning Inner Authority Mentor who helps soul-led entrepreneurs move from proving their value to leading from it. Together, we explore why so many experts unknowingly make decisions from scarcity, how to recognize when fear is driving your business, and what it really takes to trust your inner guidance when the path ahead feels uncertain. If you've been feeling called to lead with greater confidence, create more prosperity, and stop looking outside yourself for permission, this episode will help you reconnect with the wisdom that's already within you. Key Takeaways: 02:50 Why successful entrepreneurs can still fall into scarcity thinking, even after years of results. 05:00 How small decisions made from fear quietly shape the future of your business. 10:10 The biggest sign you're operating from a need to prove your value instead of trusting it. 14:00 How to tell the difference between fear that's protecting you and growth that's inviting you forward. 17:20 Eva's "What If Up" practice for shifting your focus from limitation to possibility. 20:10 Why your emotions are one of the clearest indicators that you're out of alignment with your truth. 23:00 How limiting beliefs can override your inner guidance, even when you know the next right step. 25:40 The mindset shifts that prosperous entrepreneurs consistently practice when facing uncertainty. 29:00 Why prosperity begins by trusting yourself before waiting for permission from the market. 31:45 Eva's GPS analogy for taking the next step, even before you can see the entire path. About The Guest: Eva Gregory is an award-winning Inner Authority Mentor who helps soul-led entrepreneurs move from proving their value to leading from it. She integrates inner guidance, energy alignment, and proven business strategy to help experts trust their work more deeply, attract high-end clients, and create premium offers that reflect the depth of their transformation. Applying the Law of Attraction to her prior business, Eva went from almost $100K in debt and near bankruptcy to a 7-figure bottom line within 9 months. She is the author of The Feel Good Guide to Prosperity and Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction, which she co-authored with Jack Canfield.

If you've ever pushed your goals to a future date that never quite arrives, this episode is your wake-up call. Our host, Diane Rolston, gets real about the problem with waiting for someday and why the timing you're waiting for is probably just procrastination dressed up as good planning.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why being busy and moving forward are two completely different things and how to tell which one you're actually doingThe real reason we wait for the "perfect time" that has nothing to do with timing at allThe question to ask yourself before you decide whether your reason for waiting is valid or just a good excuseWhere your most important goals actually land on your priority list and why they'll keep getting pushed back until you do something about itThe jar story applied to your goals: why filling your day with everything else first guarantees there's no room left for what matters mostWhy Diane's book sat for a year, and her podcast kept getting delayed and what finally forced both to happenThe problem with asking yourself "why am I procrastinating?" and the better questions to ask insteadWhy you might not actually have a discipline problem at all and what might really be going onThe three things that are often missing when goals stay stuck, and none of them are motivationWhy adding five new goals is exactly the wrong move and what to do insteadComing up next: why you probably don't need more motivation to reach your goals and what you might actually be missing instead.PROGRAM ALERT: She's Goaled Group Coaching Mastermind is opening for applications soon, starting September.

How can leaders elevate their impact without sacrificing their energy, focus, and quality of life? In this episode, Kevin talks with Laurie Maddalena about what it means to become an elevated leader in today's changing world of work. Laurie challenges the outdated belief that leadership requires constant overwhelm, availability, and personal sacrifice, and instead makes the case for leading with greater intention, self-awareness, reflection, and energy. Kevin and Laurie discuss why many leaders are promoted without real preparation, how the role shifts from doing the work to developing people, and why managers must move from being fixers to facilitators. They also discuss practical ways to protect focus and manage energy rather than just time.

She is a leadership provocateur, confronting outdated leadership models that reward exhaustion over effectiveness. As the founder of Envision Excellence, she helps managers go from "The Fixer" to "The Facilitator," enabling high-achieving leaders to deliver elite results without burnout. A former VP of HR by age 30, Laurie is a Certified Speaking Professional and has worked directly with influencers like Brené Brown and Jack Canfield.

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't a lack of talent, but the belief that you have to be ready before anyone sees your work? Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, shares what she learned from letting people see her unfinished one-woman show and why none of the lessons are really about theater. She reflects on her recent read-through of Chasing Enough and unpacks what it revealed about perfectionism, progress, and the courage to create before you're ready.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why waiting for perfect might actually be preventing your progress and the unexpected thing that happens when you bring something finished versus something still in progress to an audienceThe book cover story that changed everything and why isolating yourself while creating is costing you more than you thinkWhat people are actually thinking before you share something you're nervous about (it's probably not what your inner critic is telling you)The one reframe that makes feedback stop feeling like a report card and why Diane went into the read-through knowing she wouldn't get 100%The things we obsess over in our own work versus what audiences actually notice and the major piece Diane completely missed that her audience pointed out immediatelyWhy Diane never creates a program before she's sold it first and how that same principle applies to almost everything you're buildingThe powerful reversal that changes everything: you don't become ready and then share your work. You become ready because you shared your work.One question to sit with: what's your version of an unfinished play, and what would happen if you let one trusted person see it today?Maybe the thing you're waiting to be perfect doesn't need another month in your head. Maybe it just needs one courageous moment in the real world.

WHAT CAN ONE PERSON DO, SAID 8 BILLION PEOPLE!!!! "We the People" are a nation, a world that can be united, it is a choice. And it is NOT the weird idea that we have to agree on everything., Regardless of creed, color, or culture, we can choose to recognize the majority of commonalities. All of us need, clean drinking water, clean food, housing, edutcation and health care at a minimum. There is more than enough wealth in the world and it is our responsibility to come together and demand our priorities shift to include these things as a priority now!
If you've been following Diane's journey writing a one-woman show, her play Chasing Enough met an audience for the very first time last week and it was terrifying, vulnerable, and incredibly valuable all at once. Our host, Diane Rolston, shares what happened when 21 people sat down to hear an unfinished, unpolished script that no one outside her writing coach had ever heard before.Listen to learn these key takeaways:What a read-through actually is and why Diane chose to do one far earlier than most theatre people would recommendThe unexpected risk she took during the read-through that made it more than just reading (and why she did it anyway)Who she invited and why the composition of that room was a very deliberate decisionThe surprising moments that landed more powerfully than she ever intended and the ones that didn't land at allWhat the audience's laughter (and silence) revealed that she never could have known from just reading the script herselfThe ending that didn't hit the way she hoped, and what she's now going back to fixWhy one scene she loved is getting fully cut, one cut scene is going back in, and what that teaches us about the difference between what creators love and what audiences connect withThe "show don't tell" lesson she keeps learning: the balance between explanation and experience that makes the difference between a TED talk and theatreWhy filming from the back instead of the front was not enoughThe creative idea she added the night before, and what the audience said about it (she's not telling you what it was, you'll have to experience it LIVE)Coming up next: what Diane learned by letting people see her work before it was ready, and why, if you have perfectionism, you won't want to miss it.Want to be invited to a future read-through or the private preview in September in North Vancouver?

As a recovering perfectionist and former competitive athlete, it feels so weird for our host, Diane Rolston, to say, “Winning isn't everything.” If you've ever wanted something so badly that the outcome became the only thing that mattered, this episode is for you. She shares a conversation sparked by her son's sports seasons that turned into a powerful lesson about the difference between results-based and process-based goals and why one might be quietly stealing your joy.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The car ride home after a loss: what her son said when Diane asked if he had fun and the important conversation it opened upWhy results-based goals can be incredibly motivating but also set you up for something most high achievers don't see comingThe emerging artist showcase story: how one small change to the prize structure completely transformed Diane's experience and what it revealed about pressure and performanceThe factor that results-based goals can never account forWhat process-based goals actually look like in business: the shift from "did the launch work?" to something far more empowering and within your controlWhy the coach's comment to one player after the loss stood out more than anything else that dayHow to apply this to health, love, finances, and business goals and why you don't have to choose between the twoThe Olympic training question: if you're only motivated by the gold medal, what happens to the four years in between?The powerful reframe for your next launch, sales call, or event registration and why the numbers aren't the only measure of successOne question to sit with: What would still make you proud even if the result doesn't go your way?The real win might be who you become in the process. This week, choose one process goal you can control, and if you get the result, that's just icing on the cake.Want to be invited to join Diane's NEW high-level, like-minded group of women?

(Part 1 of a 2-Part Series)Most people have goals, but far fewer have a clearly defined purpose. In this episode of The Genesis Frequency, Dr. Stephen Kosmyna explores the difference between achieving goals and living a life guided by purpose.While goals provide destinations, purpose provides direction. Purpose becomes the "North Star" that helps us make decisions, stay focused, overcome obstacles, and find deeper meaning in our work and relationships. Drawing on the teachings of Jack Canfield and years of personal development experience, Stephen discusses how purpose creates fulfillment, generates energy, and helps us remain aligned with our values even when life becomes chaotic.Listeners will learn why purpose is more than a career or job title, how joy serves as an internal compass, and how limiting beliefs and the desire for certainty often prevent us from discovering the work we were truly meant to do.This episode is an invitation to begin asking bigger questions about your life, your contribution, and the impact you want to make in the world.Next week in Part Two: We'll move from discovery to application as we walk through the practical process of creating your own personal Life Purpose Statement and defining the mission that will guide your future decisions and goals.

WHAT IS FASCISM AND HOW TO FIGHT IT!!!!Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology. It prioritizes the perceived interest and glory of the nation over individual rights, often relying on dictatorial leadership, strict social and economic regimentation, militarism, and the violent suppression of opposition. [1, 2, 3]Key characteristics of fascism include:Extreme Nationalism: Absolute loyalty to the state or ethnic group, placing national unity above individual liberties. [1, 2]Dictatorial Power: Centralized, autocratic leadership that rejects democratic processes, pluralism, and liberalism. [1, 2]Scapegoating: Fixation on real or perceived national decline and the blaming of minority groups, foreigners, or political dissidents for societal problems. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Militarism and Violence: The embrace of physical force, paramilitarism, and aggressive warfare as tools for political progress and "national cleansing". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]State and Corporate Integration: Strong regimentation of the economy and society, often fusing state power with corporate interests. [1, 2]The ideology first emerged in early 20th-century Europe, most notably in Italy under Benito Mussolini and Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. You can read more about the historical regimes and ideologies on the Holocaust Encyclopedia. [1, 2, 3]
In this episode of High Functioning - an off shoot of the Chasing Heroine podcast, I'm sharing my all-time favorite mindset tool, one that has the power to completely change how you experience everything that happens to you. It's Jack Canfield's E + R = O formula (Event + Response = Outcome), and once you have it, you can't unsee it.The core idea is this: you can't control what happens to you, but your response is where all of your power lives, and that response is what determines your outcome. This means that no matter what life throws at you, you have more control than you think.I walk you through four stories from my own life so you can see exactly how this plays out in real time:The Black Friday sale at my fitness studio, where I turned an objectively great sales day into anxiety and regret purely through my response, and what that cost meMy addiction, which I now see as the best thing that ever happened to me, showing you that even your hardest chapters can be reframed into fuelA collaborator canceling last-minute on a creative project, where choosing my response over my reaction led to a better outcome than I originally plannedA near-relapse at McDonald's in early recovery, where one split-second response decision changed the entire trajectory of my lifeBy the end, you'll be looking back at your own life and spotting every moment you already did this without realizing it, and more importantly, you'll know how to start doing it on purpose.DM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

If you want to get ahead in your business, it's time to stop being the technician and start stepping into the manager, and visionary roles. Our host, Diane Rolston, references one of the most important business books she's ever read E-Myth Revisited. She explains something so many business owners experience but don't have the language for and why most women are stuck over-functioning in exactly the wrong role.Listen to learn these key takeaways:Why going out on your own means you didn't just become the technician. You became every other role in the company too, whether you wanted to or notThe three key roles from E-Myth Revisited: what each one is responsible for and the critical question each role is constantly askingWhy most entrepreneurs skip one of these three roles completely and why that's exactly why things feel chaoticThe dangerous comfort zone most women over-function in: why it feels productive but is quietly keeping the business stuckWhat happens when your head is down doing the work all day and the two perspectives you completely lose access toWhy the manager and visionary roles keep getting neglected and what the real cost of that neglect is to your businessWhere a Virtual Assistant fits into all three roles: not just taking tasks off your plate, but actually strengthening a specific role you've been neglectingHow support becomes truly transformational when it frees you to operate as the visionary and when businesses actually start to scaleThe honest reminder: the goal isn't to stop being the technician entirely (you're good at it for a reason)One final question to ask yourself right now about which role actually needs more of your attention firstComing up next: why smart, capable women struggle so much to delegate in the first place and why it's almost never about skill.Free resources to get started with your own virtual assistant: "Top 10 Questions to Ask a VA Company When You Want to Hire a VA" by Diane Rolston: https://app.groove.cm/groovemember/download/xylsp51fbe3b909e70d43d635f85fa3f115b5229 Tasks You Can Delegate: https://keap.page/mw315/229-tasks-you-can-delegate1.html5 Problems in Delegating: https://bit.ly/5ProblemsofDelegatingYour Virtual Assistant Readiness Scorecard: https://www.dianerolston.com/blog/still-doing-it-all-yourself-your-virtual-assistant-readiness-scorecardBook a time to chat with Diane directly to get your own vetted Dynamic VA: https://www.dianerolston.com/booking.htmlWant to be invited to join Diane's NEW high-level, like-minded group of women?

In a marketplace where AI is making information and expertise more accessible than ever, standing out has become harder—and more important. If your customers see you as just another option, you're likely leaving growth, loyalty, and valuation on the table. In this episode, Jim Schleckser sits down with branding strategist and futurist Kelly O'Neill to explore what branding really means, why it's much more than logos and marketing campaigns, and how CEOs can build a meaningful brand connection that creates a true competitive advantage.

Why every customer interaction either reinforces or breaks your brand promise—and what leaders must do to ensure alignment across the organization.

Stress is never going away, but Dr. Gary Sprouse believes we can change the way we understand and manage it. In this episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora talks with Dr. Sprouse about why many people who feel overwhelmed may not be depressed—they may simply be carrying too many problems at once. He explains how worry, guilt, regret, low self-esteem, and overwhelm can be side effects of valuable human skills, and why the goal is not to lose those skills but to reduce the side effects. Dr. Sprouse also shares practical tools like "delumping," the empathy wall, realistic optimism, and the worry organizer to help people separate stressors, shift perspective, and regain control. This conversation is especially helpful for health coaches and practitioners who support clients through stress, overwhelm, and behavior change.

Lawrence Ellyard, shares his powerful journey that began with a simple parking ticket
When your income starts to scale, the instinct is to focus on earning more and delegate everything else. You build momentum, create cash flow, and then hand your capital over to advisors, funds, and institutions that are supposed to manage it efficiently in the background. The system looks sophisticated, regulated, and optimized, so it feels like the right move. But what many high-income earners and investors don't realize is that the biggest risk to their wealth often isn't the market… It's the structure their money sits inside. Because once capital is placed into systems you don't fully understand, small decisions start compounding in almost invisible ways. Fees that seem insignificant begin to erode long-term growth. Portfolios that look diversified turn out to be overlapping and inefficient. And over time, instead of compounding wealth, you're quietly leaking it. In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Robert Rolih, investor, entrepreneur, and author of The Million Dollar Decision, to break down what really happens to your money after you've made it. In this conversation, we discuss why small, seemingly harmless fees can significantly delay your financial freedom, how a lack of visibility into your own portfolio creates hidden risk, and why many investors don't actually know what they own. About the Guest Robert Rolih is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, and long-term investing expert known for exposing Wall Street's hidden traps and teaching investors how to simplify wealth building. He is the international bestselling author of The Million Dollar Decision: Get Out of the Rigged Game of Investing and Add a Million to Your Net Worth, a book that has received glowing reviews from readers around the world. His mission is to reveal what the financial industry doesn't want you to know about investing, helping people greatly improve their long-term investing gains and take control of their financial future. Today, Robert has a thriving investment portfolio that serves him, not the financial industry. As a sought-after speaker, he shares his expertise with audiences worldwide, helping people avoid costly mistakes and achieve financial freedom. His ability to break down complex financial concepts into simple, engaging lessons and make investing interesting and fun has become his trademark. Robert was featured in more than 50 newspapers, websites, and TV stations, including CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Newsmax TV, Business Insider, and has had the honor of sharing the stage with renowned figures such as Robert Kiyosaki, Gary Vaynerchuk, Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield, Daniel Priestley, and many others. His international bestseller The Million Dollar Decision has been translated into several languages, including Chinese Mandarin, and published in special editions in countries such as India, Taiwan, Bulgaria, and Thailand.

Every image you emotionally connect to sends signals through your brain and body.The dream trip. The healthy version of you. The relationship. The future life you desire. Your brain doesn't just “see” it. It begins rehearsing it.Neuroscience calls it neuroplasticity: “What fires together, wires together.”When thought + emotion + imagination combine, new neural pathways begin to form.Your focus literally reshapes your brain.Vision Boards matter because repeated focus changes your identity, your energy, your decisions, and ultimately… your reality.Your mind is always creating something. THE QUESTION IS:ARE YOU CREATING BY DESIGN OR BY DEFAULT?✨ YOUR FUTURE STARTS WITH THE IMAGES YOU EMOTIONALLY REHEARSE TODAY.YOUR IMAGINATION IS NOT FANTASY. IT'S NEUROLOGICAL REHEARSAL FOR THE LIFE YOU'RE BECOMING.

Together, we talk about: ✨ Why listening may be one of the greatest forms of love ✨ Meditation, attention, and learning to quiet the noise ✨ Grief, resilience, and walking back into the light after loss ✨ Creativity, curiosity, and expecting magic always ✨ How to live a meaningful life at every age ✨ Trusting your inner voice and absorbing the beauty around you Diana also shares her newest endeavor, Your Life as a Work of Art, a beautiful Substack series exploring how we compose our days, curate meaning, and leave something lasting behind.

Have you ever gotten to the end of your day and thought "I worked all day, but I didn't actually move anything forward"? It's probably because you're focusing on so many different things: taking calls, answering emails, posting content, managing people, checking things off. Yet the important things still didn't happen. Listen as our host, Diane Rolston, unpacks why this keeps happening and how to start working ON your business instead of just IN it. She shares the second episode in her series about why most business owners are spending almost all their time in the wrong place.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The critical difference between working IN your business versus ON your businessWhy being busy feels productive but doesn't mean you're earning more revenue.The hidden safety trap: why being busy feels safe and what actually keeps you stuckWhy you are the bottleneck: if you're the one working the machine, the business can't grow past your personal capacityThe cost of staying IN the businessWhy working ON the business feels slower and less visible at first, but it's the work that changes everything long-termThe kitchen renovation story: what happens when one person thinks IN the business while the other sees the vision and long-term planThe identity shift you need: stop asking "what needs my attention today?" and start asking "what's actually moving the business forward?"The capable woman trap connection: you CAN do everything, but being buried in daily operations means you never have time to lead or be in the visionThe client confession: "I would have more leads if I had time to get them" and why this is the exact problemComing up next: the framework from E-Myth Revisited breaking down the three roles (technician, manager, CEO/visionary) and why most women are massively over-functioning as the technician.FREE WORKSHOP: Build Your Business and Reach Your Goals with the Help of a Virtual Assistant - Thursday, May 21, 2026, 1:30-3pm.

In this second episode of Season 11 of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Renee Puvvada (of Smoking Hot Books) about the writerly window of opportunity being presented by the unique and dynamic Fire Horse Year: a year that welcomes, supports and celebrates unique voices, authentic storytelling and independent publishing.Renee Puvvada failed at four books, lost $20k, and then sold 10,283 copies in a single year with 183 Instagram followers. Now, as founder of Smokin' Hot Books, she helps soul-led entrepreneurs turn their self-published books into authority-building, business-growing assets, all while you keep full rights and royalties. Jack Canfield noticed.

How often does an employee's personality get mistaken for a performance problem, quietly undermining productivity across teams? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Ariel Vox, award-winning author of Crack the Luck Code. Ariel blends psychology, storytelling, and leadership to help individuals unlock hidden strengths. Drawing on her unique LUCK personality archetypes, Lion, Umbrella Cockatoo, Coral, and Koala, she explains why high achievers often feel stuck, how weaknesses can become superpowers, and why one-size-fits-all productivity advice rarely works. Gerald and Ariel explore how understanding your dominant archetype (and those of your team or family) can transform communication, reduce conflict, and dramatically improve results. From the goal-driven Lion who needs big challenges to the detail-obsessed Koala who struggles to launch, you'll learn practical ways to work smarter, not harder. Ariel shares memorable analogies (including how each archetype would talk about buying a car) and real-world applications for leaders, employees, and families. She also opens up about sharing the stage with legends Les Brown and Jack Canfield, and the powerful lesson she learned about owning your unique voice. If you've ever felt misunderstood at work or home, or if you're leading a team that just can't seem to click, this episode will help you decode the personalities around you and unlock a new level of productivity.
