Continuing the “Come Back to God” mini-series, Lisa Whittle builds on previous discussions about where revival begins and how it moves from wild gatherings into the streets. Authentic revival isn't confined to church walls; it's about lives changed so profoundly that their transformation influences entire communities and even culture. Using powerful biblical and historical examples—such as Pentecost and the Welsh Revival—Lisa illustrates how revival's true fruit includes lifestyle changes, justice, and community renewal. She emphasizes that lasting revival requires humility, love, ongoing repentance, deep discipleship, and persistent prayer. Lisa encourages listeners to reflect on where God wants to move in their neighborhoods, workplaces, and families—and how they can be part of a movement that shifts culture for God's glory.

  What if PCOS, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune disease aren't lifelong sentences—but clues your doctor is missing?     In this powerful episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with bestselling author and patient advocate Daria Anne DiGiovanni to unpack decades of unanswered symptoms, medical gaslighting, and the truth about functional medicine. Daria shares her deeply personal journey through PCOS, insulin resistance, endometriosis, and Hashimoto's—and how conventional medicine repeatedly failed to look upstream.     Together, Lisa and Daria break down why the insurance-based healthcare model isn't built for chronic illness, how subtle symptoms get dismissed for years, and why women must take ownership of their health data, labs, and healing decisions. You'll learn how fasting insulin, inflammation markers, and hormone balance reveal what standard bloodwork often ignores—and why investing in the right practitioner can be life-changing.     This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with unexplained symptoms, autoimmune conditions, hormone imbalance, or frustration with the "just deal with it" medical mindset.    

Lisa Marker-Robbins argues that course scheduling is more than fulfilling academic requirements — it's a strategic signal of direction, fit, and readiness. Through her lens as a master career coach, she reframes learning as a lifelong tool for validation, confidence, and momentum.In this episode, she walks high school students, college students, and graduates through how to use classes, credentials, and real-world experiences to stand out in both admissions and hiring. Her approach emphasizes intentional choices that lower anxiety and open opportunities at every stage of early adulthood.In this episode, you'll discover:How course scheduling can signal direction in college, career, and lifeThe role of intentional learning during high school, college, and early adulthoodUsing credentials, experiences, and course choices to build employable skills and a strong resumeReframing education as lifelong, exploratory, and strategic rather than obligatoryKey Takeaways: For High School Families (01:16): Intentional course selection can validate career interests or demonstrate fit to colleges/employers using tools like dual enrollment, industry credentials, and credit flex options. For College Students (09:32): Students should protect space in their schedules to pursue real-world experiences (internships, research, projects) and short-course credentials (e.g., Coursera) that employers increasingly prioritize over second majors. For Graduates Not In School (11:37): Clarity can be regained post-graduation by treating job postings as signals for what skills or credentials to pursue next, and by viewing learning as lifelong rather than tied to a classroom. Universal Relevance (14:44): Scheduling choices—whether in high school, college, or adulthood—act as competitive career signals that lower anxiety, build momentum, and shape future options when done with intention.“Getting unstuck is often going to start with learning something new.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:#169 The Hidden Impact of College Major Selection on Admissions with Rick Clark https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/169LinkedIn Guide https://flourishcoachingco.com/linkedinLaunch Career Clarity Course https://flourishcoachingco.com/courseFlourish Coaching Newsletter https://flourishcoachingco.com/newsletterBYU Online High School https://is.ce2.byu.edu/#/Coursera https://coursera.orgGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

There's a deeper shift happening under the chaos. It's one that most people can feel in their bones but don't yet have words for. If you've been feeling disoriented, "successfully stuck," or strangely calm in the middle of all the noise, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, we name what many are sensing: the systems around us aren't just failing. They're breaking open. And that's not a problem… it's a purpose. Lisa McGuire guides you through the unseen transformation beneath today's uncertainty - a breakdown that's clearing the path for a new way of leading, living, and building. You'll learn why your discomfort may be proof that you're evolving, what's replacing the old leadership models, and how to anchor your identity in a world that's constantly shifting. This isn't about trends, tactics, or tools — it's about who you're becoming and why you're right on time to help shape what comes next. Key Takeaways The system isn't failing. It's breaking open...and that's a necessary evolution. Old structures based on performance, separation, and productivity were never designed for the kind of humans we are becoming. High achievers who feel "stuck" are not failing. They're evolving out of outdated definitions of success. This isn't a tech revolution. It's a consciousness shift toward presence, coherence, and identity-first leadership. You are not late to the game. You were born for this moment in history. Leaders who thrive in the next decade won't master more tools. They'll master themselves. What feels like collapse is actually initiation. The future will belong to those who lead with presence, not performance. Real relationships, not reach, are the currency of the new era. Energy isn't a soft skill. It's the strategy.

In part two of the "Come Back to God" podcast mini-series, Lisa Whittle challenges the culture of "revival hype" and invites listeners to consider revival's deep, holy roots. While stadiums and tents may symbolize revival, Lisa emphasizes that true revival is about heart transformation—marked by conviction, discomfort, and unity. She reflects on biblical examples like Pentecost and the Moravian Revival to highlight the importance of unified prayer, confession, and God's presence. Lisa encourages us to seek authentic revival—not for show, but for lasting change—and invites listeners to reflect on how they can foster revival within their own hearts and communities. The episode concludes with practical steps to pursue revival, including prayer, reconciliation, and justice.Listen in to learn more:(1:10) Revival hype vs. true revival(1:45) The sacredness of personal revival and its unseen work(3:47) Rocky analogy: Revival isn't for public show, it's deep and gritty(7:42) How Global Christian Relief is sparking revival(8:32) Biblical foundation: Acts 1 & 2, unity in prayer, and the early church(10:00) The Moravian Revival of 1727: A 100-year prayer movement that sparked global missions(11:33) Elements of authentic revival: Unified hunger, extraordinary prayer, confession and reconciliation, sincere worship, centered on God's presence(16:15) The role of justice and righteous living in revival (Amos 5:24)(16:50) Practical steps for fostering revival in your life and community(17:44) Closing encouragement: Pray, unite, invite others, and seek revival nowMentioned in the episode:Come Back to God Bible Study: https://www.lisawhittle.com/comebackGlobal Christian Relief: http://link.globalchristianrelief.org/lisaCoaching with Lisa: https://www.lisawhittle.com/coaching-with-lisa Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial

Is trauma culture quietly destroying our emotional resilience and family relationships?     In this powerful episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with emotional healing educator and social media voice Tania Khazaal to challenge the modern language of trauma, triggers, and "protecting your peace." Together, they unpack how therapy culture, social media trends, and cut-off culture may be labeling normal human discomfort as trauma—without offering a real path to repair.     Tania shares her deeply personal journey through estrangement, chronic illness, and healing, revealing why emotional expression, accountability, and compassion—not avoidance—are essential for mental wellness and physical health. You'll hear why rewriting your story (and others') can unlock freedom, resilience, and stronger relationships, and how true peace comes from emotional strength—not disconnection.    

Lisa Marker Robbins has spent decades helping young people navigate the messy space between high school and career, and she's seen that landscape shift. College still matters, but alignment matters more than ever—and families increasingly want a steady strategy, not just more information.In this episode, Lisa makes the case for a career-first approach and shows how clarity can reduce pressure, calm households, and open more meaningful pathways. Her practical insights explain why diverse career options are on the rise and why community support matters now more than ever.In this episode, you'll discover:Why College and Career Clarity originally focused on college, and what prompted a thoughtful shift toward career fitHow “college capable” does not always mean “college aligned” and why that distinction matters more than everWhat it means to begin with the end in mind by leading with career fit instead of default pathwaysHow focusing on fit and alignment reduces pressure and emotional overwhelm for familiesKey Takeaways: Many college-capable teens are opting for alternative paths because college no longer guarantees alignment or meaningful career fit.Reverse-engineering career fit before choosing a pathway reduces emotional pressure for families and improves long-term outcomes.Post-COVID families and schools increasingly seek structure without pressure, honest conversations, and community-based support rather than independent decision-making.Lisa plans to introduce more solo episodes, shorter formats, and ongoing touchpoints so listeners can engage more personally, gain clarity at their own pace, and feel supported rather than isolated during a challenging season for teens and young adults. “College does still matter, but see, here's what I am seeing: a growing number of families within our community, that ability, college ability, college aptitude, doesn't equal alignment.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Is a College Degree Worth It?: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/is-a-college-degree-worth-it-f7753b32Dream School: Finding the College That's Right for You by Jeffrey Selingo: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-School-Finding-College-Thats/dp/1668056208Join the newsletter to get weekly clarity tools, insights, and family conversation prompts straight to your inbox: flourishcoachingco.com/newsletterGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Whether you're new to the concept or have been longing for a fresh move of God, Lisa offers practical insights and encouragement to help you experience revival starting deep within your own heart.

In this episode, Lisa and JJ discuss:Rethinking post-high school pathways and expanding what counts as a successful career beyond the traditional four-year college pathThe role of curiosity, exposure, and hands-on experiences in meaningful career explorationThe growing need for skilled and technical workers across multiple industriesSupporting young people in finding aligned career paths without stigma or judgmentKey Takeaways: Parents and educators can use the same exploration tactics typically used for college-bound students, such as campus visits, informational interviews, and employer outreach, to explore skilled careers through community colleges, apprenticeships, unions, and employer-led training programs.Many high-demand, high-paying careers in construction, manufacturing, supply chain, energy, transportation, facilities operations, and media production do not require a four-year degree yet still offer advancement, entrepreneurship, and long-term stability.Early and repeated exposure starting in elementary and middle school helps normalize skilled careers by showing how interests like sports, music, entertainment, and technology rely on behind-the-scenes technical and trade-based roles.Focusing first on developing a concrete skill, such as welding, carpentry, sound engineering, plumbing, or video production, allows careers to evolve organically into leadership roles, business ownership, storytelling, or adjacent industries over time. “Develop the skill and then be open to where it takes you.” – JJ OwenAbout JJ Owen: JJ Owen is the Executive Director of the Skilled Careers Coalition, leading efforts to reframe skilled trades as high-purpose, high-pay careers and connect Gen Z to construction, manufacturing, and technical fields.

In this episode, Lisa and Annie discuss:Career planning when chronic health conditions or physical disabilities affect daily functioningSelf-advocacy and accommodations across education, training, and employmentAligning career choices with realistic capacity and long-term sustainabilityUsing real-world experiences and conversations to validate career fitKey Takeaways: College provides a structured environment where students can learn to articulate how their condition affects them, practice requesting accommodations, and build confidence navigating formal systems they will later encounter in the workplace.Accommodations support access but do not eliminate essential job functions, making it critical to assess whether the physical, cognitive, and stamina demands of a role can be met consistently over time.Hands-on validation through internships, clinicals, job shadows, and informational interviews reveals the lived reality of a job in ways that academic requirements alone cannot.Sustainable career planning requires honest conversations about energy limits, recovery time, and quality of life, rather than defaulting to paths that are technically possible but personally draining. “You have to be comfortable talking about your condition and your needs.” – Annie TulkinAbout Annie Tulkin: Annie Tulkin is the CEO and Founder of Accessible College, as well as an educator, author, and public speaker. She is an expert in college preparation and transition for students with physical disabilities and health conditions, and has worked in the disability field for her entire professional career.

In this episode, Lisa and Rick discuss:How a student's choice of future intended major impacts their college admissions chancesThe role of holistic review in determining “Fit To Major” (FTM)The challenges students face when trying to change majors after admissionWhy flexibility is essential in the college application processKey Takeaways: Colleges often evaluate whether a student's academic choices and extracurricular activities align with their intended major, so applying without evidence of interest in that field can weaken an application, even at schools that do not directly admit by major.Some universities, particularly for highly competitive majors like computer science and business, have strict policies that prevent or limit students from switching into these programs after enrollment, making initial major selection a critical decision.Admissions officers look for patterns of demonstrated interest in their major, expecting engineering applicants to take advanced math and science courses or business applicants to show entrepreneurial involvement, which helps determine if a student is truly prepared for their chosen major.Students who remain open to alternative entry pathways—such as summer admissions, starting at a different campus, or transferring later—increase their chances of reaching their academic and career goals, even if they don't initially get into their first-choice program. “The more kids can put themselves in a position where they have choices and options, the better off they're going to be.” – Rick ClarkAbout Rick Clark: Rick Clark is Georgia Tech's inaugural Executive Director for Strategic Student Access, leading efforts to expand enrollment, access, and affordability.

In this episode, Lisa and Brian discuss:Strategies for maximizing college scholarships given by the institutionsThe difference in merit vs. need-based financial aidThe role of GPA and standardized testing, ACT, and SAT, in scholarship awardsColleges with merit scholarship grids where students can know the amount they can earn for good grades and scoresTransparency of college financial aid policiesKey Takeaways: Merit aid is often more predictable than need-based aid because many colleges offer fixed scholarships based on GPA and ACT and SAT scores, making it easier to estimate college costs.Skipping standardized tests can cost students thousands in scholarships, as many schools that are “test-optional” for admission still require test scores for merit aid or reduce the award if applying test-optional.At some universities, it is possible to calculate the number of additional correct answers on the ACT that a student needs to raise their merit aid award, making test prep a highly valuable investment.Over 90% of scholarship money comes directly from colleges rather than private sources, meaning that researching a school's financial aid policies is more effective than chasing small external scholarships. “When the airplane is going down, you put the mask on yourself first—you first, your kids second. The merit aid from the school is the 'putting your mask on yourself'… after that, if a kid has free time, definitely apply to some of the outside scholarships.” – Brian EufingerAbout Brian Eufinger: Brian Eufinger is the President of Atlanta-based Edison Prep and has tutored over 14,000 students for a combined 35,000+ hours on the SAT, PSAT, and ACT over the past two decades.Episode References:Merit Aid Grids: https://meritaidgrids.com/Student Email Template: How to Get Clear Answers About College Merit Aid https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/merit #042 Will grade inflation hurt your teen with Brian Eufinger?  https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/042 Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret).flourishcoachingco.com/videoConnect with Brian Eufinger:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edisonpreptutoring/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/edisonprepWebsite: https://www.edisonprep.com/Email: brian@edisonprep.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eufinger/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EdisonPrepTutoringConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa and Amy discuss:Identifying personality traits, interests, and work styles for career explorationFactors influencing long-term career satisfaction and professional fulfillmentThe research and validation behind data-driven career assessmentsThe relationship between career clarity, education choices, and financial outcomesKey Takeaways: The Birkman Assessment identifies career matches by analyzing multiple personality dimensions—not just interests but also work styles and environmental needs—against a database of professionals who have remained satisfied in their roles for at least seven years.Unlike quick career quizzes, Birkman undergoes rigorous psychometric validation every 10 years to ensure its results remain reliable and predictive, distinguishing it from assessments that lack scientific backing.Low career matches do not mean a job is impossible; they indicate potential challenges, such as a workplace culture mismatch or a need for unique approaches to succeed, which may require further research through job shadowing, informational interviews, or skill development.Career clarity minimizes costly education mistakes by helping students avoid unnecessary degree changes or career pivots, ensuring that the time, money, and effort invested in college align with long-term satisfaction and job retention.“With Birkman, we're able to say, ‘Hey, even if you're good at it, that doesn't mean you're interested in it.' Interest with Birkman means it is fulfilling, motivating, and energizing.” – Amy ShepleyAbout Amy Shepley: Amy Shepley, granddaughter of Dr. Roger W.

Your body has been trying to tell you something for a while now. The persistent low mood you keep attributing to stress. The exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. The feeling that no matter how well you take care of yourself, you're still running on fumes. What if it's not willpower you're missing? What if your body is finally saying no to a version of success that's costing you everything? Lisa Corduff's Story Lisa Corduff built a million-dollar business while her life was falling apart behind the scenes. Her husband Nick was struggling with addiction and mental health. She was solo parenting three young kids. And her business became the one place that felt purposeful when everything else was chaos. She was creating non-stop. Documenting everything. Showing up in all the places because that's what successful entrepreneurs do, right? The frantic energy matched what was happening in her real life. And then Nick died in 2019. Lisa was 40 years old with three kids aged 5, 7, and 8, and she kept going because that's what you do when you're the only parent and three kids are depending on you. But here's what nobody tells you about chronic stress: your body keeps the score. For years, Lisa would wake up every morning with her nervous system spiking, wondering "what's today going to bring?" She couldn't get back to sleep. Her system was wired for threat. And even after the acute crisis passed, her body remembered. This year, everything shifted. At 45, Lisa finally got answers she didn't know she needed - ADHD and autism diagnoses that suddenly made her entire life make sense. She discovered her estrogen levels were tanked despite doing everything "right" - morning walks, good food, sleep hygiene, all of it. She realized that what she'd been calling stress was actually perimenopause masked by legitimate life chaos. And she had to make a choice: keep running the frantic version of success she'd built, or completely redefine what success means when you're no longer willing to sacrifice your nervous system, your presence with your teenage kids, or your actual life for revenue targets. In this raw, vulnerable conversation, Lisa reveals: Why she went completely quiet this year after being one of the most visible entrepreneurs online for over a decade The moment she realized her persistent low mood wasn't just grief or stress - it was disappearing estrogen What getting diagnosed with ADHD and autism in her 40s taught her about the hustle she'd been celebrated for How chronic stress from years of managing addiction, solo parenting, and business building dysregulated her nervous system (and why it didn't matter how well she took care of herself) The shift from million-dollar years to redefining success around presence with her teenage kids Why she had to let go of the "prove yourself through content" model and become what she calls a "lighthouse voice" What it's really like to advocate for your own health when doctors dismiss perimenopausal women as overreacting to social media trends How neurodivergence (ADHD + autism) shows up differently in high-achieving women who've learned to mask The hidden cost of being everyone's rock while quietly crumbling inside Why grief and addiction are the "unsexy topics" we need to talk about more What happens when you finally honor your needs instead of overriding them with willpower How to know when it's time to let go even when everything in you wants to fight to hang on This episode is for you if you've ever: Felt like your body is screaming at you, but you keep pushing through with willpower Wondered why you're exhausted despite doing all the "right things" for your health Built impressive success, but it doesn't feel the way you thought it would Questioned whether the hustle is actually worth what it's costing you Felt trapped between the business you built and the life you actually want to live Attributed chronic stress symptoms to "just having a lot going on" instead of hormones Struggled with persistent low mood that nothing seems to fix Been told by doctors that your symptoms are "just stress" or "normal aging" Felt like you're the only parent carrying it all while trying to build something meaningful Wondered who you are when you're not performing or proving anymore Realized the version of success that got you here won't get you where you want to go Known you need to let go but everything in you wants to hold on tighter About Lisa Corduff Lisa Corduff is a successful entrepreneur, speaker, and writer currently exploring the complexities of "this moment in time" on her podcast Conversations with Lisa. A powerful storyteller, she teaches experts, coaches, thought-leaders, and business owners who want to stand out online how to expertly weave stories into their content for greater impact, connection, and trust.

Ready to stop overriding your body's messages and start honoring what it's trying to tell you? This conversation between Lisa Corduff and me isn't just about hormones or business strategy. It's about the wake-up call that comes when your body finally says no to a version of success built on chronic stress, over-functioning, and pushing through at all costs. Maybe you've been attributing your exhaustion to "just being busy." Maybe you've been telling yourself the persistent low mood will pass once things calm down. Maybe you've been white-knuckling your way through because you don't know another way to operate. But here's what Lisa and I both learned the hard way: you can't out-discipline a dysregulated nervous system. You can't out-supplement tanked hormones. And you can't build sustainable success while abandoning yourself in the process. The Congruency Audit is where we look at the gap between the success you've built on the outside and what you're actually feeling on the inside. We'll identify the exact patterns keeping you stuck in chronic stress, the cost of continuing to override your body's messages, and what it's going to take for you to finally create success that doesn't require you to sacrifice your health, your presence, or who you're becoming. Book your Congruency Audit: lisacarpenter.ca/audit This isn't about optimizing the version of yourself you built to survive. It's about creating congruence so the life you've built doesn't just look good - it finally feels right. Success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.   If you listen on Spotify:  Open the Spotify app on your phone. Search for Lisa Carpenter and open her podcast page.

In dieser Folge spricht Sonja mit Dr. Lisa Ulmer-Stein, Tierärztin, Mutter und Expertin für Mutterschutz, über ein Thema, das in der Tiermedizin noch immer von Mythen, Unsicherheit und Fehlannahmen geprägt ist: Schwangerschaft in der Tierarztpraxis – und warum sie kein automatisches Aus für die Praxisarbeit bedeutet. Gemeinsam schauen wir darauf, warum so viele schwangere Tierärztinnen und TFAs vorschnell ins Beschäftigungsverbot geschickt werden, welche Missverständnisse rund um Mutterschutz und Risiko bestehen und wie Praxen mit guter Kommunikation und einer realistischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung viel mehr möglich machen können, als oft angenommen wird. Lisa teilt ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen, ihre Erkenntnisse aus drei Jahren Forschung zu diesem Thema und erklärt, warum Weiterarbeiten in der Schwangerschaft häufig sicher und sinnvoll ist – für die Mitarbeiterin und für die Praxis. Außerdem erfährst du, welche Tätigkeiten problemlos weiter ausgeübt werden können, welche Strukturen Praxen brauchen und wie sich Mutterschutz als Chance begreifen lässt, um Teamkultur, Prozesse und Vereinbarkeit nachhaltig zu stärken. Ein Gespräch voller Klarheit, Empowerment und praxisnaher Impulse für alle, die in der Tiermedizin arbeiten – ob als Arbeitgeber:in oder als schwangere Mitarbeiterin.

In this episode, Lisa and Jackie discuss:How personal storytelling shapes identity and confidence in young peopleThe role of a signature talk in strengthening communication and self-awarenessUsing life experiences to build clarity and purposeThe way real-life opportunities and service experiences help youth grow passions and purposeKey Takeaways: Young people learn their core values and purpose by identifying the message they would share if given five minutes to speak to the world, strengthening their sense of worth and supporting mental health.A “signature talk” begins with exploring personal successes and failures, turning those experiences into a library of stories that can be used in interviews, essays, and meaningful conversations.Preparing a signature message teaches youth to identify a problem they deeply relate to, explain how they solved it, and offer insights that could help others—building confidence, leadership, and independence.Colleges increasingly value authentic, self-aware applicants who demonstrate impact and growth, and storytelling practice helps teens articulate purpose and meaningful experiences more effectively. “When they begin to understand what life's lessons have taught them and how it's shaped them to who and why they are, everything changes for them.” – Jackie BaileyAbout Jackie Bailey: Jackie Bailey, The International Conversation Coach, helps clients speak with significance, triumph over trauma, and champion challenges.

This episode is a recording of our recent women's circle gathering on Sacred Wintering and the Twelve Holy Nights, and it was truly beautiful—deep, grounded, accessible, and full of wisdom for the season we're entering.For centuries across European, Germanic, and Christian-mystic lineages, the Twelve Holy Nights have marked a threshold in time: the Year Between Years. These nights begin on December 25 and carry us through January 6, honoring the liminal space when the sun's return becomes visible and intuition feels naturally heightened.I invited Lisa Jara to teach with me, because she guides this practice every year with a devotion and clarity I deeply respect. Lisa and I first connected through a membership of intuitive and anti-capitalist entrepreneurs, and our friendship grew quickly through long WhatsApp voice notes about the people we serve, the work we love, and the ways cyclicality shapes our lives. I've practiced the Twelve Holy Nights on my own for the last two years—well, actually, with my husband and daughter and I love that it can be done with others!—and it has become one of my favorite ways to enter Winter with intention rather than resistance.Inside this session, we explored:What it means to like our lives, including how we can learn to like WinterHow to proactively surrender to Winter instead of waiting for a “forced winter” through burnout, grief, or crisisWhy so many of us stopped naturally wintering—and how capitalism shaped thatHow Winter restores self-trust and reconnects us with our inner wisdomA generous teaching from Lisa on the cosmology, history, and practice of the Twelve Holy NightsHow each Holy Night mirrors a month of the coming yearHow to work with dreams, symbols, signs, and synchronicitiesAn imaginative visioning practice to help you enter the season more intentionallyThis conversation is for anyone longing for slowness, clarity, ritual, or a more embodied relationship with Winter. It's also for anyone who wants to practice the Twelve Holy Nights this year in a simple, grounded, and meaningful way.Links Mentioned in the Episode

In this episode, Lisa and Andrea discuss:Navigating family dynamics when college students return home for holidays and extended breaksBalancing student independence with household expectations during time at homeCommunicating effectively with teens and college students to reduce conflict around schedules, curfews, and responsibilitiesSupporting student identity development and deeper conversations during the transition homeKey Takeaways: Parents should set expectations early—before the student comes home—about rest needs, schedules, and non-negotiable family commitments.Curfew conversations work best when approached collaboratively, using “horizontal parenting” to negotiate reasonable times and communication.Students may return with new beliefs, identities, and peer relationships, so families should create space for deeper conversations and respond with curiosity rather than judgment.Parents should avoid tasks like laundry or over-caretaking, as these can unintentionally undermine the student's developing independence. “Colleges are ready to welcome messy, unfinished, unbaked, totally underbaked students.

In this episode, Lisa and Kami discuss:How curiosity shapes the development of lifelong learners who can adapt and grow over timeWhy box-checking habits weaken authentic engagement with learningWhat project-based learning offers as a bridge between interests and academicsThe role family culture plays in nurturing natural curiosity and supporting ongoing personal growthKey Takeaways: Box-checking driven by grades and pressure drains curiosity and leaves young people unprepared for real college, career, and life demands.Real-world projects like building a skate park or creating community signage reveal how project-based learning blends civic knowledge, physics, planning, and passion.Curiosity grows at home through natural conversations that connect everyday life, current events, and reading into meaningful learning.A teen's lost love of learning often shows up as ongoing frustration or disengagement whenever school is mentioned. “We have to change the messages that we're sending, and the message of lifelong learning is that learning happens everywhere, all the time.” – Kami WanousEpisode References:Sample Birkman ReportPails by Chris BradyThe Truth About College Admission Workbook#169 The Hidden Impact of College Major Selection on Admissions with Rick ClarkCheck your family's learning culture in minutes — take Kami's Love of Learning Launch Pad quizTake the free Career Planning Readiness QuizGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Kami:Website: https://www.thefreedomscholar.com/FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheFreedomScholar & https://www.facebook.com/groups/216184786279733IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefreedomscholarYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtJpXKtndYS9rrP98KcvDEwLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kami-wanous-14117723aHomeschool Success: https://www.thefreedomscholar.com/podcastConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa and Ethan discuss:Managing setbacks and academic struggles in demanding college programsThe importance of resilience, networking, and real-world experience in career developmentHow communication and soft skills enhance technical education and employabilityNavigating college, internships, and professional growth with persistence and adaptabilityKey Takeaways: When traditional learning methods don't meet your needs, explore alternative or online options—Ethan improved his calculus mastery by finding a better-fit online course structure and learning tools.Consistent networking, maintaining an updated LinkedIn, and initiating connections early can turn future opportunities into incoming offers rather than uphill pursuits.Getting involved in professional or student organizations and taking on leadership or mentoring roles provides real-world experience and the confidence employers value.Communicating clearly, asking for help, and staying persistent after failure are core habits that separate long-term achievers from those who stall after a single obstacle. “You just have to keep pushing and saying, 'I want it. I'm going to get it.'” – Ethan ZellnerAbout Ethan Zellner: Ethan Zellner is an Honors Student-Athlete at Bradley University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.

Y'all, this conversation lit me up! Lisa Goldenthal is one of those guests who brings equal parts strategy and soul. She's a top 15 executive coach, bestselling author, and the creator of The Boss Method — and she dropped some serious wisdom on how high performers can stop spinning and start leading with purpose. We talk about why burnout doesn't mean you're broken, how emotional intelligence can totally transform your leadership, and why structure is actually the secret to freedom. Lisa even shares how she uses ChatGPT to map out 90-day goals — so if you've been craving a mix of personal growth and practical tools, you're going to love this. I walked away from this chat so fired up to “boss up and execute” in my own life — with less perfection and more intention. Get ready to feel inspired, motivated, and ready to turn those big dreams into real results. Let's dive in!

You're over-giving because you're terrified no one will see your value. You know you're doing it. You're even aware it's exhausting you. But awareness without understanding why you do it? That just fuels the shame cycle. Emma came to this coaching session with a question about imposter syndrome. Twenty-five years of teaching, consistently getting great results with her clients, and still doubting whether she's doing enough or good enough. Still uncomfortable asking for money. Still over-giving in every session because maybe, just maybe, if she gives enough, they'll finally see her value. But here's what I don't coach to: I don't coach to imposter syndrome. I coach to the operating system underneath producing that symptom. Within minutes, we uncovered what was really running the show. Emma watched her mom overwork her entire childhood. Watched her put herself last, neglect her health, tie her worth to productivity, and never value herself. Emma loved her mom. So she learned this is what you do. You work until you're exhausted. You give until there's nothing left. You prove your value through doing. And now, decades later, Emma's middle-aged, looking in the mirror, and seeing her mom staring back at her.   In this coaching episode, you'll hear me guide Emma through: Why she's been working so hard to get her clients' acceptance and what part of her is driving that hustle for approval The exact moment she realized she's been modeling her mom's pattern of tying worth to productivity without even knowing she picked it up How loving someone who couldn't value themselves creates an unconscious loyalty to suffering—and why it feels like betrayal to treat yourself better than they treated themselves The practice of emotional neutrality when asking for money so she can witness the discomfort without letting it run her choices Why "I want more money" and "I want freedom" are abstract goals that keep high-achievers trapped in chasing their tail instead of actually creating what they want How to stop recreating your parent's life and become the conscious creator of your own by getting crystal clear on your values and boundaries The tool for parenting the part of you that innocently picked up misinformed stories about your value—so you can take different action even while feeling uncomfortable This episode is for you if: You've built success but still feel like you have to over-give to prove your value You're aware of your patterns but can't seem to change them, which just makes you feel more shame You watched a parent sacrifice themselves through overwork and now you're doing the same thing You're uncomfortable asking for money even though you deliver exceptional results You chase "more money" or "freedom" but never feel like you're actually getting there You want to understand what it's like to work with a Master Coach who sees the operating system underneath your surface symptoms This is what it sounds like to work with a coach who doesn't address what you think the problem is. I go after the beliefs and identity driving the behavior. If you've been telling yourself it's just imposter syndrome when it's actually about worthiness, tune in.   Ready to explore your own patterns? What pattern are you repeating that you watched growing up? What are you getting from over-giving, from tying your worth to productivity, from staying exhausted, that you won't admit? Emma came in thinking we'd coach on imposter syndrome. But the real work was uncovering the operating system underneath that was running her life. And I'm willing to bet there's an operating system running yours too.

Two hundred episodes strong—and this celebration goes deeper than a milestone. Lisa Marker-Robbins is joined by Vicki Weisbrod and Kayla Lane for an honest, energizing conversation about what's really holding young people back and how you can help them move forward with clarity and confidence. You'll leave inspired, recharged, and ready to guide the next generation toward purpose and possibility.In this episode, Lisa, Vicki, and Kayla discuss:The emotional push and pull between parents and young people during the launch yearsThe growing confidence gap in professional communication and real-world readinessShifting career pathways and the increasing value of non-traditional education routesFostering resilience, self-awareness, and intentional progress toward independenceKey Takeaways: Parents' stress often mirrors their kids' uncertainty, and recognizing that shared overwhelm helps both sides find calm and momentum.Modeling confident communication in small ways—like outreach, networking, and follow-up—helps young people take ownership without parents taking over.Many students are now making informed choices to pursue trades, alternative training, or intentional pauses, showing that success comes in many forms beyond college.Building self-awareness early and giving young people space to make mistakes fosters genuine confidence, resilience, and long-term independence. “There's just not as much resilience with young people, and they fear that that ‘no' is the end-all be-all.” – Vicki Weisbrod“It's amazing how quickly the shift happens whenever you finally understand yourself.” – Kayla LaneAbout our Guests:Vicki Weisbrod is a Flourish Coaching Career Coach and veteran school counselor who built Bishop Fenwick's career advising program from the ground up, pioneering the use of the Birkman assessment to enhance career and college readiness.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-weisbrod-640b31131/Kayla Lane is the Executive Assistant and Client Support at Flourish Coaching, where she pairs her healthcare background with strong organizational and client support skills to guide families through their college and career journey.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayla-lane-362b7014b/Episode References:The Defining Decade by Meg Jay: https://www.amazon.com/Defining-Decade-Your-Twenties-Matter/dp/0446561754'Ep#196 5 Must-Know Hiring Trends & How They Impact Your Student with Christine Rigby-Hall: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/podcast/196-5-must-know-hiring-trends-how-they-impact-your-student-with-christine-rigby-hall/Learn how to help your teen move from uncertain to unstoppable at Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa and Stephen discuss:How to turn a passion for sports into a career off the fieldBuilding connections that open doors and gain experiences through sports internshipsWhat roles are in high demand in the sports and entertainment ecosystemBalancing passion, education, and hustleKey Takeaways: Careers in sports extend far past the playing field, including roles in marketing, analytics, media, and sponsorships. Exploring these options early helps uncover where passion and talent meet.Networking remains the most powerful tool in the sports industry. Relationships, mentorships, and proactive outreach often lead to opportunities more effectively than cold applications.Real-world exposure sharpens direction and builds credibility. Internships in high school or college, whether loved or disliked, shape clearer career decisions later on.A well-rounded education supports success, but determination and experience matter most. Aligning values with career goals ensures long-term fulfillment in this dynamic field.There are more entry points at agencies working on brand partnerships, sponsorships, and influencer deals than at leagues and teams. “The three most important words in sports: Relationships.

In this episode, Lisa, Dave, and Mike discuss:How career direction and college major alignment influence scholarship successThe role of personal narrative and authenticity in admissions and financial aidStrategies for early scholarship searching and intentional college preparationHow real-world experiences and self-awareness shape stronger college and scholarship applicationsKey Takeaways: When applying for scholarships, students with a clear personal narrative tied to their future major consistently outperform those who list achievements without direction.Most universities factor “fit to major” (FTM) into admissions and aid decisions, with some high-demand majors (like nursing or computer science) closed to later transfers.Starting early—in both scholarship applications and career exploration—reduces stress, expands opportunities, and allows time for authentic experiences that strengthen applications.Real-world experiences, like internships or organizing community projects, not only clarify interests but also provide concrete material for compelling essays and scholarship submissions. “Students that I've worked with, even when they're applying to general scholarships, are still having success by having that personal narrative that relates to their future college major.” – Dave Peterson“Authenticity should inform every aspect of the admissions process.” – Mike BerginAbout our Guests:Dave Peterson is the founder of Scholarship GPS, a leading scholarship strategist. TwitterFacebookEmail: dave@nodebtcollege.comPodcastMike Bergin is the founder of Chariot Learning, an ACT Certified Educator, and co-host of the Tests and the Rest podcast. WebsiteLinkedInPodcastEpisode References:Download a Sample Birkman ReportThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen CoveyFree Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) formLisa's Launch Career Clarity online course Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa and Anita discuss:The growing trend of students choosing business as a “default” or undecided majorThe value of real-world work experiences for high school and college students exploring businessWhat competitive business school admissions officers truly look for beyond academicsHow reflection, course choices, and extracurriculars shape clarity and college readiness for business majorsKey Takeaways: Students should pursue any kind of job or small business experience—from babysitting to retail—to build basic professional and business skills early.Reflection on experiences is essential for college essays and interviews; students who articulate what they learned stand out more than those who list achievements.Highly selective programs expect applicants to demonstrate problem-solving and awareness of real-world, local business issues, not just academic excellence.Choosing challenging coursework like Calculus and exploring available business electives in high school can strengthen both preparedness and application competitiveness. “What I see from a lot of students is that what helps them get away from being undecided is actually those real-world experiences, whether it's in the summer or after school.” – Anita DoddiAbout Anita Doddi: Anita has spent her career helping students get where they're trying to go, beginning with her early days as an academic adviser at the University of Chicago. She's guided hundreds of students through admissions, with many accepted to top universities, including the University of Michigan, Cornell, UPenn, Columbia, and all the UC schools.

In this episode, Lisa and Christine discuss:Shifting hiring timelines and employer decision-making in today's job marketGrowing importance of skills-based hiring and micro-internshipsInfluence of artificial intelligence on entry-level roles and required skillsContinued power of networking and accessing the hidden job marketKey Takeaways: The average job search now takes three to six months, as companies add more interview rounds and assessments before extending offers.Skills-first hiring means candidates should highlight real-world experiences—like micro-internships, portfolios, and certifications—not just degrees.AI is reshaping entry-level work, with 78% of hiring managers expecting AI-driven layoffs, but it is also creating new roles in data analysis and AI integration; learners should take AI courses (free or paid) and demonstrate use cases in portfolios.Over 70% of jobs are never posted publicly, making networking and referrals through LinkedIn or family connections essential to finding opportunities. “Show, don't tell, and proof beats promises.” – Christine Rigby-HallAbout Christine Rigby-Hall: Christine Rigby-Hall is the founder of GradLanding, a career coaching practice that helps college students and early career professionals secure internships and launch into the job market with confidence.Christine also partners closely with parents, helping them understand the hiring landscape and how to support their student without adding pressure.

In this episode, Lisa and Brooke discuss:The role of modern manners in building confidence and career readinessHow social, physical, and relationship etiquette shape professional connectionsStrategies for networking, job shadows, and informational interviewsThe influence of parents, mentors, and micro-habits in developing these skillsKey Takeaways: Students should use simple conversation techniques—like making an observation and asking a question, or “throwing the ball back”—to create natural, balanced dialogue.First impressions matter: attire, language, and physical manners (handshake, eye contact, putting away your phone, appropriate clothing) often determine how seriously others take you.Adults are more likely to grant favors and mentorship opportunities to teens and young adults than older people, making this the ideal stage of life to ask for informational interviews, job shadows, or introductions.Parents and mentors should approach teaching manners with a growth mindset, praising progress, modeling skills, and helping young people practice consistently until they feel natural. “Physical manners can go a long way, and oftentimes they're not noticed until they're not done.” – Brooke RomneyAbout Brooke Romney: Brooke Romney is a writer, speaker, and community builder who is committed to sharing real life with a hopeful twist.She is the best-selling author of four books: 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens, Volumes 1 and 2, 52 Modern Manners for Kids, and I Like Me Anyway: Embracing Imperfection, Connection, and Christ.She recently launched a new game, Do You Even Know Me?, to help families connect and have fun together.Meaningful connection with family, friends, strangers, and God is where she finds purpose and joy.Episode References:Grab the free LinkedIn Profile Guide at flourishcoachingco.com/linkedin to help your student create a standout profile and start building their network with confidence.Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Brooke:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookeromneywrites/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brooke-romney-9724a2100/Website: https://brookeromney.com/welcome/Shopify: https://082dc6.myshopify.com/Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Brooke-Romney/author/B08L8WQN6CConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa, Dr. Gangelhoff, Dr. Alaina, and Melissa discuss:Shifts in the music industry and its evolving futureEducational pathways for aspiring musiciansBuilding independence, resilience, and clarity for young creativesFamily roles and perspectives in supporting artistic career choicesKey Takeaways: Parents' fears often stem from only imagining extremes—either starving artists or Grammy winners—yet most successful musicians build stable, thriving lives between those two points.Gap years can be powerful when structured with clear goals and intentionality, but they risk becoming wasted time if the expectations of the student and their parent aren't aligned.Modern musicians must learn to independently create, release, network, and generate income streams before labels or gatekeepers will take notice.Many college music programs lag behind industry realities, leaving students to seek entrepreneurial, production, and tech skills elsewhere to stay competitive. “The thing that is always going to be in demand is creativity, interpretation, and emotion, and AI can't replace all of that, and artists have all of those things.” – Dr. Christine Gangelhoff“Sometimes the parents' reason for thinking about a gap year, or the child's reason for bringing it up, may not be aligned, and that's when you get that messy kind of wasted year.” – Dr. Alaina Johnson“The more we train our young adults and our young musicians to be entrepreneurial, creative problem solvers, the better they will be in this ever-changing industry.” – Melissa MulliganAbout our Guests:Dr. Christine Gangelhoff Website: https://mysoundpath.com/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/christine-gangelhoff-4b89b324Dr. Alaina JohnsonWebsite: https://parentingtalent.com/Melissa MulliganWebsite: https://www.mastermindroad.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-mulligan-3ab018142/Episode References:How to Raise an Adult by Julie Lythcott-HaimsGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa and Ilana discuss:Mother-daughter dynamics in shaping career confidence and identityThe unconscious transmission of attitudes about work, relationships, and self-worthNavigating the tension between supporting and controlling children's career pathsThe role of self-awareness and open conversation in healthy career developmentKey Takeaways: Daughters absorb far more from how mothers navigate work, relationships, and confidence than from the advice they are given outright.Holding too tightly to a fixed idea of who a daughter should become can quietly undermine her ability to build true career confidence.Paying attention to the language you use about your job and your life helps prevent unintentional patterns of negativity or self-doubt from passing on to your children.Sharing the full, unpolished story of your own career choices—including pivots, regrets, and proud moments—gives your child permission to make different decisions without guilt. “The real trick is for daughters and for us to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses and separate ourselves enough from mom that we could see ourselves.” – Ilana LevittEpisode References:Download a Sample Birkman Report: https://flourishcoachingco.com/birkmanSample The Seven Stories Exercise: https://careercenter.lehigh.edu/sites/careercenter.lehigh.edu/files/Seven%20Stories%20Exercise.pdfNew York Times: 25 Questions to Bring You Closer to Your Mom: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/09/well/mothers-day-questions.htmlGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret).flourishcoachingco.com/videoConnect with Ilana:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatsmomthebook/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsmomthebook/Book: What's Mom Still Got To Do With It?: https://www.whatsmomthebook.com/Take the quick quiz to find out which daughter type from What's Mom Still Got To Do With It? fits you best!LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilanatolpinlevitt/Need to find more scholarship money?

In this episode, Lisa and Dave discuss:Strategies for applying to scholarships throughout all four years of high schoolBuilding and refining a personal narrative that connects past experiences to future goalsThe role of family involvement and culture in long-term scholarship successNational, local, and organizational scholarship opportunities are available at different grade levelsKey Takeaways: Students should begin applying for scholarships as early as freshman year, even if it's only one every other month, to gain experience and confidence.Juniors should focus on refining their personal narrative while taking advantage of exclusive, high-value scholarships that become available only in 11th grade.Seniors benefit from applying to both large national scholarships and smaller local ones, since the practice alone increases their success rate.Families should create a culture of consistent scholarship preparation by keeping resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and application databases updated after milestones. “Students with the strongest personal narrative won the most scholarships… the students whose parents were involved in the process also won more scholarships.” – Dave PetersonEpisode References:#128 Winning College Scholarships: Expert Tips with Dave The Scholarship Coach#161 Boost Your Teen's Personal Narrative Before Applications with Dave Peterson#169 The Hidden Impact of College Major Selection on Admissions with Rick ClarkLearn about Dave's Scholarship Course and get the FREE preview hereDownload the detailed scholarship timeline organized by grade levelGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Dave:Twitter: https://x.com/DaveTheScholar1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080949485476Email: dave@nodebtcollege.comThe Scholarship GPS Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-scholarship-gps-podcast-your-directions-to-a/id1617874078Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, Lisa, Dr. Corbin, and Catie discuss:Mentorship as a driver of growth and opportunityThe mutual responsibilities within mentor–mentee relationshipsEarly guidance shaping confidence and career directionPaying forward lessons learned through mentoring othersKey Takeaways: Mentorship offers students personalized support, creating opportunities that money alone cannot provide.Advocating for oneself and asking for help early—whether in high school classrooms or college —can build the confidence needed to persist in challenging subjects.Successful mentorship is not about rigid schedules but about mentees taking initiative, showing preparedness, and seeking guidance when it's most needed.Recognition can follow when students demonstrate leadership by mentoring younger peers, developing rigorous learning systems, and fostering strong academic communities.“If you're a scientist in the STEM field, and you've never mentored anybody… I promise that any effort and time you spend mentoring will be rewarding, both for your mentee and for you.” – Dr. Karen Corbin“Mentorship has always been a really important aspect of my life, and I do think something I'm very good at is advocating for myself and asking for help.” – Catie KeanAbout Dr. Karen Corbin and Catie Kean: Dr. Karen Corbin is an Associate Investigator at the AdventHealth Translational Research Institute. Since August 2024, she has mentored Catie Kean through the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, supporting her academic journey and professional development.Catie Kean is a 2024 Astronaut Scholar with the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Biotechnology.

In this episode, Lisa and René discuss:The wide range of career opportunities available in aviation, beyond being a pilotThe growing demand for aviation professionals due to industry growth and retirementsBarriers and opportunities for women in aviation careersWays for students and families to explore aviation early without costly commitmentsKey Takeaways: Over 1.5 million new jobs are expected to be added to the aviation industry in the next decade, spanning roles from pilots and mechanics to drone specialists and meteorologists, creating opportunities that extend far beyond the cockpit.With 80% of mechanics and 20% of airline pilots expected to retire in the next 10 years, the industry faces an urgent need for new talent and massive knowledge transfer to keep operations safe and sustainable.Aviation mechanics, who can enter the field through associate's degrees or trade programs, often start at $70,000–$80,000 a year and can grow into six-figure salaries, offering a strong career path without requiring a costly four-year college degree.Early exposure through programs like the EAA Young Eagles, discovery flights at local airports, and virtual career fairs provides teens and young adults with a low-cost, hands-on opportunity to determine if aviation sparks their passion before committing to a training pathway. “One of the things that I notice about people who are successful in aviation is that they're passionate about it.

Take the quiz at www.bebrightlisa.com/quiz Stepping out of corporate and into coaching, thought leadership, or entrepreneurship can feel like walking around in shoes that don't quite fit yet. You're excited about what's next, but you can't shake the feeling that you're still “becoming” the person you want to be.

You'll learn how to release the version of you that no longer serves your vision and step into the leadership presence that will attract your future clients.

In this episode, Lisa and Zack discuss:Understanding the difference between everyday anxiety and an anxiety disorderThe role of technology and social media in contributing to Gen Z anxietyEvidence-based treatment approaches, including exposure therapyParenting strategies to support anxious teens without reinforcing fearKey Takeaways: Anxiety can be defined as an overestimation of threat and an underestimation of one's ability to cope, and it becomes a disorder when it causes significant dysfunction in daily life.Technology use often serves as a “medication” for uncertainty, providing short-term relief but contributing to worsening anxiety, with research suggesting decreased youth alcohol use but no mental health improvement.Accommodations, such as parents completing tasks for anxious teens, can unintentionally reinforce fears; asking guiding questions helps youth build coping skills.Exposure therapy works by gradually confronting fears until they become manageable or are disproven, reducing avoidance and increasing confidence. “Fear and anxiety have an incredibly important role to play in our lives. It's not all bad. It's not a negative emotion, but it is an emotion that requires some understanding and some skill to address.” – Zack SchaferEpisode References:The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/0593655036Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke: https://www.amazon.com/Dopamine-Nation-Finding-Balance-Indulgence/dp/152474672XSPACE Treatment by Dr. Eli Lebowitz: https://www.spacetreatment.net/BePresent App: https://www.bepresentapp.com/Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Zack:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mountainvalleytreatmentcenter/Website: https://mountainvalleytreatment.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zack-schafer-a6026b108/Fear Less Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/Email: zschafer@mountainvalleytreatment.orgConnect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In this episode, visionary business coach and personal branding expert Lisa Guillot dives deep into the difference between a “yes” that lights you up and one that quietly depletes you. She shares the exact tool she uses with her coaching clients (and herself) to make aligned decisions in life, leadership, and brand building, especially in those pivotal moments of reinvention.  

In this episode, Lisa and Jaime discuss:Understanding the role of impacted majors and prerequisitesThe critical importance of aligning majors with career goals earlyNavigating the complexities of college transfersFinancial planning and its impact on educational choicesKey Takeaways: Over one-third of undergraduates transfer colleges, and without early planning around majors, prerequisites, and credit alignment, they risk losing time, money, and progress.Students in impacted majors like Computer Science, Business, Nursing, and Engineering must complete strict, school-specific prerequisites, so they should map overlapping requirements across multiple target schools.While some parents fear transferring will hurt their job or graduate school prospects, employers usually see only the final degree, and graduate programs value applicants who can explain a well-reasoned shift.Before committing to a college—whether first-time or transfer—use FAFSA estimators to gauge real costs, research transfer scholarships, and compare prerequisite overlaps to avoid financial strain and lost credits.“Most employers aren't looking for whole transcripts to see your collection of credits. They're just looking for the final outcome.” – Jaime SmithAbout Jaime Smith: Jaime Smith is a Certified Educational Planner specializing in college transfer, online learning, homeschooling, and supporting neurodiverse learners.

In this episode, Lisa and Jack discuss:How authenticity influences a student's journey through high school and college admissionsMaking intentional academic and extracurricular choices instead of chasing prestigePersonal growth through adversity and how it can translate into advocacy and leadershipUsing entrepreneurship to solve real-world problems in the college admissions processKey Takeaways: Crafting a college application around a meaningful personal narrative—especially one rooted in overcoming adversity—can create a clear and compelling through-line that ties together academics, extracurriculars, and long-term interests.Prioritizing activities that genuinely excite you, rather than selecting them to impress others, leads to more fulfilling experiences and naturally stronger, more authentic application materials.Letting go of lower-impact commitments, even those you once valued, can open up time and energy to go deeper into areas where your skills, passions, and long-term potential align most powerfully.Seeking out immersive experiences, such as internships or independent projects, helps translate personal interests into tangible accomplishments while also shaping a clearer vision for future academic and career decisions. “If you love what you're doing, you won't get tired.
