In this practical conversation, Mardi Winder and Rosalind Sedacca, a recognized certified divorce coach and founder of the Child Centered Divorce Network, talk about how to build a healthy coparenting mindset. As January marks Child Centered Divorce Month, the episode centers on the essential topic of how parents can approach divorce and co-parenting, with their children's well-being as the highest priority.Reflecting on her personal journey, Rosalind Sedacca shares how her own experience as a parent going through divorce shaped her understanding of child-centered co-parenting. She reveals that the lack of resources and guidance in the 1990s inspired her to create a network that supports families long before, during, and long after divorce. Rosalind recounts the heartening moment when her son expressed gratitude for the way his parents handled their separation, highlighting the lasting impact of thoughtful co-parenting.Throughout the episode, Mardi and Rosalind discuss practical strategies for successful co-parenting, stressing the importance of trust and respect, and treating the co-parenting relationship as a business-like partnership focused on raising happy, healthy children. They explore how to navigate disagreements and difficult moments, including using positive communication, practicing empathy, and maintaining cooperation, even when personalities and habits differ.Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own reactions and expectations, with both speakers emphasizing that change in others is unlikely, but that self-awareness can ease co-parenting challenges. Importantly, Rosalind introduces resources available to parents during Child Centered Divorce Month, including a complimentary six-part video series filled with expert advice on shielding children from the negative effects of divorce.About the Guest:Rosalind Sedacca, CDC is a Divorce & Parenting Coach and Founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network.

Today, Mardi Winder welcomes psychotherapist Oona Metz to share her expertise on supporting women through the emotional journey of divorce. With decades of professional experience and personal insight from her own divorce, Oona describes how she recognized the profound need for safe, supportive spaces where women could process the unique challenges of leaving a marriage. This realization led her to create in-person divorce support groups, which quickly grew in popularity as participants found camaraderie, hope, and strength in sharing their experiences together.The conversation explores the emotional realities women face during divorce, such as feelings of shame and divorce stigma that can linger despite changing social norms. Oona and Mardi talk about the societal and religious expectations that often place extra pressure on women, making it harder to leave unhealthy relationships. They address the misconception that enduring a troubled marriage is best for children, highlighting new research and heartfelt stories that illustrate how children can thrive when conflict and tension are replaced with peaceful, supportive environments, even if that means living in separate households.Throughout the episode, Oona shares her approach to creating confidentiality and trust within support groups, while acknowledging the importance of professional facilitation. She emphasizes that the emotional complexities of divorce, including anger, sadness, relief, and even longing, are all valid, and being surrounded by others at different stages can offer both comfort and perspective.As the episode draws to a close, Oona Metz introduces her upcoming book, Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women, designed to help women feel understood and equipped to move forward. Packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and reflective exercises, the book is positioned as a companion for anyone facing divorce.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Performance nutrition is highly individualized; there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Tracking biomarkers and personal health metrics over time is essential for optimizing performance and longevity.

Meeting clients where they are and customizing plans leads to better outcomes. Team culture and leadership are shaped by modeling behavior and supporting each other. QUOTES “No human is one size fits all.” “If you can measure it, you can manage it.” “Supplements are meant to supplement the diet, not replace it.” “Teams, just like children, are always watching—they're always a sponge.” “You always want to be helpful, not hurtful.” “Hydration is a huge one… fatigue, irritability, and lethargy are the first signs of dehydration.” “The beauty of fueling is that no human's life is the same every single day.” Connect and learn more from Cheryl Zonkowski.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheryl-zonkowski-ms-rd-cssd-a7378520/ About Robert: Robert is a #1 Best Selling Author, Speaker, Award-Winning CEO, and above all, a Leadership Coach by heart.

Send us a textIn this powerful, deeply reflective episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl welcomes Nasirra R. Ahamed, an international life and leadership coach whose work spans Asia, Australia, the U.S., the U.K., and the Middle East.Nasirra's journey from a high-level global corporate leader to founder of The Energy Architect is a profound story of awakening, courage, and authenticity. Together, Pearl and Nasirra explore what happens when success no longer feels aligned — and how energy, awareness, and inner work can guide us back to who we truly are.This episode is a must-listen for anyone who:Feels successful on paper but disconnected insideIs living someone else's expectationsKnows something needs to change but isn't sure where to beginWants to lead and live with greater authenticity, clarity, and purposeMeet the Guest: Nasirra R. AhamedNasirra R. Ahamed is:Founder & Chief Coach of The Energy ArchitectTwo-time #1 International Bestselling AuthorICF-certified Professional CoachLife & Leadership Coach, Speaker, and MentorFormer senior global corporate leader with 26+ years of experienceRecognized among India's Top 10 Successful Personalities and Top 50 Under 50Her work blends spirituality, neuroscience, psychology, somatic healing, NLP, and leadership strategy to help individuals and leaders redesign their inner architecture — the emotional, energetic, and belief systems that shape how they show up in life and work.Introducing Little Nasirra: Finding Her VoiceNasirra takes listeners back to her childhood growing up in Bahrain within a traditional Muslim family. As a young girl, she describes herself as shy, quiet, and hesitant to express her feelings — shaped by cultural expectations and fear of judgment.Over time, life circumstances pushed her to find her voice. That journey eventually led her into senior corporate leadership roles — but at a cost. To survive and succeed in corporate environments, Nasirra felt pressured to become tougher, more aggressive, and less heart-centered than she naturally was.This inner conflict set the stage for a pivotal awakening.The Turning Point: When Success No Longer FitsDuring the COVID era, Nasirra found herself enforcing corporate demands on employees who were losing loved ones, grieving, and struggling — all while she herself was navigating personal loss.One moment stands out:Sitting in her car, tethered to a hotspot, sending a work email while her mother-in-law lay dying in the hospital.That moment forced a life-altering question:“What am I really doing this for?”The realization was undeniable — she was driving someone else's dream while silencing her own soul.From Corporate Identity to Conscious PurposeLeaving the corporate world was not easy. Nasirra describes the in-between space — where the old identity has fallen away but the new one hasn't fully formed — as confusing, lonely, and deeply transformational.She speaks candidly about:Unlearning decades of conditioningLetting go of external validationReleasing the “fake it till you make it” mentalityChoosing authenticity over performanceFor Nasirra, true success came from aligning with her inner voice — Follow Pearl onsocial media TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook: @PearlchiarenzaGo to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.wsliving.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Remember to embrace your inner pearl, nourish yourself, and find balance in life.

In this solo episode, Mardi Winder takes a closer look at why so many New Year's resolutions fail and why they can actually leave us feeling more discouraged than motivated. Instead of pushing yourself into another year of unrealistic expectations, she invites you to explore the five big problems with traditional resolutions and what to do differently, especially if you are rebuilding your life after divorce.She shares how resolutions often come from pressure instead of intention, how they focus on perfection rather than progress, and why they rarely consider emotional healing or real-life circumstances. Mardi also shares how resolutions can trigger shame when life gets complicated, and how they sometimes distract us from the deeper work of creating lasting change. Throughout the conversation, she encourages you to move away from “fixing yourself” and toward setting compassionate, meaningful goals that actually support your wellbeing.This episode is about giving yourself permission to choose a gentler, more sustainable approach to growth. You will hear practical ideas for creating direction without the guilt of broken promises, and ways to stay aligned with your values instead of chasing someone else's version of success.About the Host:Mardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

In this episode, Mardi Winder and Ron Platt explore the essential role of support and resources for individuals and families navigating divorce. The focus centers on the National Association for Single and Divorced Families, co-founded by Ron Platt, which takes a comprehensive approach to supporting not only those currently experiencing divorce but also single parents and anyone transitioning through family change.Drawing from his extensive experience in insurance and real estate, and his personal journey as a foster parent, Ron shares the motivations behind establishing the association. He highlights the gaps he witnessed in the systems designed for families, from the struggles within foster care to the challenges faced by his former business partner in escaping an abusive marriage.

Angie Moss, Sales and Leadership Coach and Certified Trainer with Southwestern Consulting, shares how her coaching client adopted the productive mindset of working ON your business rather than IN your business.Hear Angie and Brad's full interview in Episode 150 of The Action Catalyst.

Yesterday's playbook is useless for tomorrow's problems. Smart companies evolve their people, keep clarity around priorities, navigate uncertainty and grow.   The Gauntlet of Growth for sustainable growth has six parts: sharpening focus, calibrating culture, strengthening leadership, elevating talent, aligning structures, and amplifying communication. These insights are derived from hands-on work with high-growth companies that help founders and leaders scale their organizations.   In this episode, you will learn what it truly means to navigate change, how your role as a CEO evolves alongside your company, and the importance of aligning your actions throughout the organization to create a stronger company.   Jess Dewell talks with PeopleCap Advisors, Co-Founders Meg Crosby, Principal, and Howard Cleveland, Leadership Coach and Confidante, about how to lead in uncharted territory amid rapidly changing markets. They discuss what it means to be BOLD in your willingness to adapt as a founder, emphasizing the value of experimenting, failing, and learning to make confident decisions in new situations.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the "Growth Framework Reset" approach. This will help you keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Estefana Johnson, a seasoned mental health clinician and director of clinical training at Arise Alliance Institute, to explore the complex connections between trauma, loss, and the process of healing. Through stories from her own unexpected path into behavioral health and clear explanations, Estefana shares a perspective on trauma that centers on unresolved loss, whether it is the loss of agency, safety, hope, or meaningful relationships.Together, they discuss how trauma manifests when the brain cannot process challenging experiences and how people often find themselves stuck, responding to past pain rather than present reality. Estefana Johnson explains how this can create recurring patterns that shape responses to everyday situations, both at home and at work. She introduces listeners to Critical Memory Integration (CMI), an approach designed to guide individuals beyond managing symptoms toward real resolution by helping them understand the deeper signals their bodies and emotions send, and make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming or inaccessible.The conversation also explores the concept of generational trauma, or as Estefana Johnson prefers, "generational data," and how our bodies can inherit survival adaptations from previous generations. Listeners are encouraged to be compassionate with themselves, seek support when facing discomfort, and realize that the search for clarity and healing begins with honest self-inquiry. Estefana Johnson leaves us with a hopeful message: the power to move forward and heal is within each of us, waiting to be discovered.About the Guest:Estefana Johnson, LCSW, brings over 20 years of experience in trauma and mental health care. She began her career as a Behavioral Health Technician in 2001 and later taught in Japan before moving into roles in residential treatment, medical social work, and clinical leadership. As Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance Institute, she develops and delivers curricula in trauma-focused care and interventions like Critical Memory Integration (CMI™), while also practicing clinically at Lighthouse Psychiatry & TMS in Gilbert, Arizona. Estefana is actively involved in research on therapeutic uses of psychedelics and is passionate about advancing innovative, healing-centered approaches. A first-generation child of immigrants, she is committed to supporting foster and adoptive youth, leading programs that provide education and care rooted in resilience and recovery.To connect with Estefana:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/estefanajohnsonlcsw/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariseallianceinstitute/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AriseAllianceInstitute/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5MyzV9KBg0eJ0uY88N-zCwAbout the Host: Mardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Today, host Mardi Winder has a fun and uplifting chat with Jenny Elinora, a creative empowerment coach and musician whose work centers on supporting women over 50 as they rediscover their voices and creative aspirations. Jenny shares her personal story of reclaiming creativity late in life, describing how her own divorce became a turning point that led her to publicly embrace singing, songwriting, and the arts for the first time at age thirty-three. She explains how societal expectations and cultural messages often stifle creativity, especially for women, but emphasizes that the impulse to create is innate and can manifest in many forms beyond the traditional arts, whether in entrepreneurship, caregiving, or daily living.Throughout their exchange, Mardi and Jenny touch on the importance of play, joy, and curiosity as doorways to reconnecting with one's sense of self after significant life shifts, such as divorce. Jenny encourages listeners to believe in their own creativity and provides practical suggestions for gently reawakening creative energies, starting with small, playful experiences each day. She also candidly discusses the effects that nurturing creativity can have, including greater confidence, renewed focus, and, in some cases, bold life changes.The episode concludes with Jenny Elinora offering a resource, a collection of creative sound meditations, for listeners who are interested in taking their first steps toward a more expressive and fulfilling life. It is an engaging and supportive conversation, filled with practical encouragement for anyone seeking to reconnect with their creative spark during or after divorce.About the Guest:Jenny Elinora is a creativity empowerment coach and musician dedicated to helping women over 50 rediscover their voices and live their creative dreams. With decades of performance experience and a deep understanding of how trauma impacts creativity, Jenny's mission is to inspire women to boldly reclaim their creative power. Her own journey reflects the challenges and triumphs of the women she helps. Silenced by early criticism and life's traumas, Jenny didn't find her voice until age 33 and only released her first solo project at 50. Along the way, she's written, performed, recorded and produced 30+ original songs, and earned recognition such as Vermont's Tammie Award for Best Rock Album. Through her holistic approach— somatic practices, sound healing, community support and creative coaching— Jenny has helped 100+ women overcome self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and creative stagnation to help them reconnect with their authentic self and share their brilliance with the world.For Jenny's gift: https://meditation.growyourwholevoice.comTo connect with Jenny:Website: https://growyourwholevoice.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jelinora Instagram: https://www.intagram.com/yourcreativewholevoice LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/projectjelinoraAbout the Host: Mardi Winder is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Have you ever spent over a fortnight in Antarctica? Jess Styles recounts a fabulous experience with Homeward Bound doing exactly that!My guest today is Jess Styles who earlier this year spent 16 days on a ship in Antarctica with 120 other women leaders in STEM. Not only did she learn a lot about leadership, ice and penguins... she had the opportunity to self-reflect and heal having undergone cancer treatment only months before. Join Jess and me for this fascinating reflection. Jess, on what she learned:"In Antarctica, we saw extreme nature and got to see places no human has ever set foot in before which was really special. With 120 other STEM leaders onboard our ship over the 16 days, I learned a lot about leadership and what kind of leader I aspire to be. A big part of my learning was self-discovery. Taking time out for me was really important and I'd encourage everyone to do that: take time out for yourself because it isn't selfish - it's needed. It was very freeing to have that time to work out what I really want to do."Links:For Career & Leadership coaching, connect with Rebecca Allen on Linkedin or visit the Illuminate website Rate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

Today I am sharing a simple 3-step process to help you take stock of everything you have achieved in 2025.I work with a lot of clients throughout the year and one skill I find a lot of people don't exercise is that of reviewing their progress. In our coaching programs, we are big on recapping, reviewing and acknowledging the impact we are making... because if you don't, you can easily fall into the self-doubt trap wondering whether you're adding any value at all! And I don't want that for you!By the end of these 10 minutes, you'll walk away with a simple tool to help you uncover profound evidence of the impact you have made this year so that you can feel proud of your hard work but also have details to give you leverage over the next 12 months. Are you with me?Rebecca on the importance of reviewing your action:"At the end of year it's important to review because it's too easy to forget the value you have been making and get into those imposter style thoughts where you are doubting what you have accomplished. Understanding your impact is your fast track to building confidence." (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)Links:Extend the exercise I share in this ep by tuning into a related ep I recorded about this topic last year!

Jeanie Cisco Meth is a dynamic speaker, best-selling author, and resilience coach known for her passion in helping others conquer bullying and develop true self-confidence. Having turned her own struggles with bullying, illness, and adversity into powerful lessons, Jeanie now empowers individuals and organizations—including schools, police, and the military—to implement bully-proofing strategies that foster authenticity, personal growth, and a positive mindset. Through her speaking, coaching programs, and book "Bully Proofing You," she has inspired countless people to break negative cycles, develop emotional awareness, and transform obstacles into stepping stones for lasting success. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jeanie returns to discuss her journey from classroom teacher and military veteran to founder of a coaching program that trains others in bully-proofing. She shares how her approach involves not just addressing bullying directly, but also empowering individuals to understand and regulate their emotions, reframe negative experiences, and create planned responses rather than reactive outbursts. Jeanie draws a clear distinction between discipline and bullying, emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence, and explains how healing personal triggers can diffuse power dynamics in bullying situations. Listeners will hear real-life transformations and gain practical tools to build resilience, confidence, and purpose. Quotes: “A bully is someone who tries to intimidate or control through body language, words, or actions. Once it becomes physical, that's assault—and that's a different issue entirely.” “Bullying is rarely about you—it's about the other person's pain. If you heal your emotional triggers, you can respond with purpose instead of reacting from hurt.” “There's a fine line between discipline and bullying. Discipline calls out wrong behavior in love and truth; bullying attacks the person for being themselves.” Resources: Visit Jeanie Cisco Meth's Website Connect with Jeanie Cisco Meth on LinkedIn Connect with Jeanie Cisco Meth on Facebook Watch Jeanie Cisco Meth on YouTube Get "Bully Proofing You" on Amazon

Let's talk about building our personal success! Today, Mardi Winder gets real about something we all deal with, and that is our habits. You know, those little routines that can either make our lives easier or trip us up, especially when we're going through big changes like a divorce.Mardi chats with Ronnie Loaiza, life coach, personal trainer, journalist, and honestly, just an all-around inspiring person. Ronnie shares her own story of how she turned her health around and discovered the power of habits in every area of life.Together, they break down simple ways to ditch old habits that don't serve you, build new ones that actually stick, and why tiny changes make the biggest difference. From self-care to money mindset, there's something here for everyone, whether you're divorced, thinking about it, or just want to create some positive changes.Mardi and Ronnie take a dive deep into why habits are so hard to change, how our brains are wired to resist anything new (even if the old ways aren't serving us), and the secret to building habits that truly stick—hint: it's all about starting small and making it realistic for your own life. They cover everything from that classic “New Year's resolution” gym rush (and why it fizzles out) to the ways scrolling on your phone or careless spending can become invisible routines that eat up time and energy.You'll definitely pick up practical tips, maybe a few laughs, and feel empowered to make your own shifts. Plus, Ronnie's got a special freebie for listeners and shares how you can reach out to her if you want more support.
