In this episode, I'm joined by confidence coach Meg Trucano—and let me tell you, this conversation is so much more than surface-level strategy. Meg walks us through her powerful REAL Change Framework (Rebel, Energize, Align, Leap) for navigating life transitions with clarity and courage. Whether you're standing at the edge of a career change, an identity shift, or a cross-country move, her insights will help you challenge the stories you've been carrying and step into your next chapter with purpose.We especially dive into the first stage of her framework—Rebel—which is all about uncovering the beliefs you didn't even realize were shaping your decisions. We talk about how to rewrite the narrative, how to recognize when you're living someone else's version of success, and how to start honoring what you truly want. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “Wait… is this even my voice, or someone else's expectation?”—this episode will hit home.This conversation is real, raw, and full of tangible coaching insights. Meg shares client stories, mindset reframes, and the exact process she uses to help women rise in the middle of uncertainty. If you're feeling pulled toward something more but don't know where to begin—this is your invitation to trust the nudge, rebel a little, and rise a lot.

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

Join me and Sherrie Love as we read her poem, Descension and then have a conversation about the slow, brave work of reclaiming ourselves—of getting to know who we are again after life has scattered the pieces. We talk about the struggle, the beauty, and the quiet joy of becoming whole. And we draw wisdom from the sun—how it simply shines, without apology, without hesitation, no matter who is beneath its light. What would it mean for us to live like that? Descension Something is shifting. It has felt heavy and loud in my soul for a while. It twists in my stomach And lurches upward Squeezing my heart Tighter and tighter until I can't breathe Then it weaves its slimy black sludge claws Into my mind And plants seeds of doubt, fear, hopelessness Until they bloom Oozing the thick tar of my descension What does it mean? Where does it come from? I thought I was through I thought I was in the clear Didn't I already learn this lesson? And I notice the giant black infection Of fear expanding, enveloping me In its unrelenting grip What am I afraid of? Fear, what are you trying to show me? I move toward it now I embrace it back Shining every shred of light I have left Toward it Begging it to tell me what it wants And I see Tiny pricks of light Piercing through the thick, black darkness I left my light, my energy, my joy, behind Somewhere on the trail Like a lost glove Being blown away by the wind Left to dance its way through the wilderness Is it even still mine? Did someone find it? Did they pick up And turn it over, curious who it belonged to Did they take it home and try it on? Did something about my essence affect them in some way? I miss it Why do I keep doing that? Giving away my light? When all I'm trying to do Is shine on those I love On those who need a light in their own darkness Because I know how deeply painful and dark it is To wander this world in the dark Alone Maybe I overwhelm and blind with my light because I feel so desperate to connect Yet somehow, my light is too bright, too glaring, too intense Even for those who, at first, thought they liked basking in the glory And I remember that even the Sun, who shines unapologetically, gets too hot sometimes And may unintentionally burn you But she keeps on shining And we love her for it And we welcome the clouds and the rain and night and the winter And when they come, we miss the Sun And long for her return For the pink spring sunrise For the glowing summer sunsets And bright autumn mornings I wonder if the Sun misses me too when the night comes I wonder if she feels lonely and scared too Maybe she sees me As much as I see her I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed.

Some conversations only happen on the road—miles slipping by, the hum of tires, and the kind of quiet that invites reflection. In this episode, I drove with my friend Jason Wheatley to Sun Valley, Idaho, where he was delivering paintings for an upcoming art show. As we drove, we talked about his journey into art, the impulse to create, and the ways beauty can emerge from both solitude and connection. It's a meandering, thoughtful exchange—about art, life, and the things we're still trying to understand. After dropping off his work, we made a stop at Hemingway's grave and memorial, a silent moment that seemed to echo the themes of the trip: legacy, voice, and what we leave behind.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Christine Roslund—an experienced coach, therapist, and EMDR practitioner. We explore how Christine blends years of EMDR therapy with life coaching to help her clients clear deep blocks and reconnect with their true selves. Christine shares insights on what real healing can look like, why getting unstuck doesn't have to mean reliving old pain, and how she helps people move forward with clarity and purpose. This one's for anyone who feels like they've been spinning their wheels and wants to understand what's really in the way. Three Takeaways: 1.      You don't always have to talk something to death to heal it. 2.      Feeling stuck is often a sign that something deeper wants attention. 3.      The right support can help you move through what's hard—without carrying it forever.   Getting unstuck isn't  about trying harder -  It's about finding what's really in the way. -Christine Roslund     To contact Christine: https://beingtrue2you.substack.com/     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

The Drive - A Daily Devotional by Pastor Mike Sternad

Send us a textAct 9:1-9But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drankSupport the show

In this episode of The Poet (delayed), I sit down with my friend Chris Hales to unpack a journey that pushed him to the edge—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Chris took on the Grand Canyon rim to rim to rim, a grueling 50+ mile hike through one of the most unforgiving landscapes on earth. He spent months preparing, training his body and mind for the challenge ahead. But even with all the planning and readiness, nothing could fully prepare him for the brutal terrain, the heat, the exhaustion—and the moments of doubt that crept in along the way. What emerged from the struggle, though, was something far greater. Chris shares how the hardship brought him closer to the people he hiked with, including his wife, and how those shared miles—step after painful step—forged memories and connections that will last a lifetime. It's a story of endurance, humility, and discovering the strength that comes not just from finishing, but from walking the hard road with people you love.

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations" on the Career Flipper podcast, I, Jenny Dempsey, take you along on my career journey.  This year, I've committed to opening up about my own career flip, just as I encourage my guests to do. So here we are, in May 2025, and I can hardly believe it's been four months since I started my current day job. It feels surreal to say that, especially considering I was laid off for two years before this.During this time, I've been balancing my full-time job with furniture restoration on the side, dedicating Sundays to it, and squeezing in podcasting and all the related tasks whenever I can. If that sounds overwhelming, it is! Life can be a juggling act, and I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Scheduling time with friends often feels like a game of Tetris, as we all navigate our busy lives.I've always been the type of person who thrives on variety. I'm the one multitasking—doing laundry while putting away dishes, preparing to record a podcast, creating social media content for my furniture flipping page, and making sure my dog, Dwight, gets outside for a potty break. My brain has always thrived on this mix of activities, and I've been like this for as long as I can remember.Looking back, I've come to realize something significant. For a long time, I believed that work—capital W work—was my identity. I thought it was the only thing I was good at. I didn't believe in taking vacations; if I did, I'd bring my laptop along and continue working. I even had a panic attack in front of a customer service team I was managing because I was so consumed by my job. I poured everything into my work, only to learn the hard way that companies would replace me in an instant. When I was laid off and struggled to find a new job for two years, I was left questioning my identity. Who was I if I wasn't working?I dive into this and more in the episode!

Jeffery describes himself as highly skeptical, avoiding absolute certainty and viewing most things on a spectrum of probability. Matt agrees with this perspective, sharing an example from a memoir that acknowledged multiple viewpoints of the same experience. They discuss the unreliability of memory and the impact of mentors and teachers in shaping their worldviews. Matt reflects on how early influences expanded his understanding of career possibilities beyond his suburban upbringing. Mountain Climbing and Post-Military Life Matt shares his experience of moving from Northern New Jersey to Washington State after high school, motivated by his desire to be in the mountains following an Outward Bound course. He became involved in the climbing community, joining a group of experienced climbers and participating in significant expeditions. Matt later pursued a degree in philosophy but ultimately worked as a full-time mountain guide, leading international expeditions including the Seven Summits. Jeffery, in contrast, completed a bachelor's degree in psychology using his GI Bill after retiring from the Air Force, but chose not to pursue a career in that field. Matt's Approach to Existential Crises Matt discusses his approach to helping clients who are experiencing existential crises. He explains that he combines his background in psychology with outdoor experiences, particularly mountain climbing, to create a more effective therapeutic environment. Matt emphasizes the importance of having a guide during these experiences, comparing it to psychedelic journeys with proper set and setting. He notes that the most powerful moments for clarity and transformation occur during the descent from a summit, before transitioning back to everyday life. Matt sees his role as a supportive guide rather than actively doing the work for his clients. Challenging Experiences and Personal Growth Matt and Jeffery discuss the transformative power of challenging experiences, particularly in the context of personal growth and self-awareness. They explore how these experiences can lead to clarity, alignment between values and actions, and a sense of awakening. Jeffery shares his recent experience with a meditation app called "Way App," which he finds more effective than typical meditation apps due to its foundation in authentic Zen practices. They both agree that consistent, thoughtful practice can lead to gradual but meaningful increases in awareness and personal growth.
