In this inspiring episode, I sit down with globally-renowned life coach, speaker, and author, Tim Storey, who has worked with business leaders and A-list celebrities like Robert Downey, Jr., Charlie Sheen, and Dyan Cannon. Tim shares powerful insights from his book The Miracle Mentality: Tap into the Source of Magical Transformation in Your Life, and offers practical guidance on how we can rediscover our childlike innocence and reignite our belief in miracles.Miracles and magical thinking are innate in all of us, but life's challenges, “life's interruptions,” as Tim calls them, such as loss or trauma, can break the innocence that fuels our dreams.  “As we get older and we start to have life interruptions, we start to realize that life is not so innocent. Some people do not know how to process that and step back into the miracle mentality.”Tim believes that by reconnecting with our childhood imagination, we can tap into the miracle mentality, which allows us to see life's possibilities in a new, transformative light and get our magic back. To learn more about Tim, visit his website TimStorey.com.If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe and add your review to help others discover new and exciting ways my guests are daring to own who they are and living their best lives.Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Retired Air Force Colonel Martha McSally made history as the first woman in the United States to become a Top Gun fighter pilot. Her impressive military career was marked by incredible achievements, honors and awards, but she also endured harassment, abuse and assault by a senior officer. In this episode, Martha shares her journey of overcoming trauma and adversity by rising above all of her fears, facing them head on, and proving the Air Force wrong. When she was told no she couldn't be a fighter pilot because she was a woman, that ignited a fire in her belly to make it happen. “...They told me, ‘You can't do this because you're a girl, and it is against the law.' I never had been told that in my life….It was like, ‘Nope, I am a fighter pilot and I am going to will this into existence'…I kept the dream in my heart…I wouldn't take ‘No' for an answer. I refused to give up...”Martha was deployed six times to the Middle East, and Afghanistan, flying more than 350 combat hours in an A-10 Warthog and earned the Bronze Star.

Whether through her roles as a TV reporter or the former unofficial first lady of Canada, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has met kings and queens, presidents, first ladies, major celebrities, all of whom, she says, have inspired her to become a passionate advocate for mental health. As a teenager, Sophie suffered from a serious eating disorder and it was only after she went public with her private battle that everything changed. “...When I talked about my eating disorders, it was 20 years ago, and nobody was talking about it. But in the past 5 years, I think there's been an exponential growth curve, and how we talk about mental health, and also massive investments in mental health, because people are realizing that it's a true crisis…”To learn about Sophie and her new book, Closer Together, Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other, go to her website, SophieGregoireTrudeau.comBe the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

He's also the author of four best-selling books with hundreds of thousands of followers around the world. He is a spiritual minimalist, helping people cultivate fulfillment on the inside in order to experience peace on the outside,“...I believe that we all have callings or internal hunches or urges to do things that are inconvenient, uncomfortable, but ultimately, fulfilling and spiritually rewarding. And it could be something like running a marathon, it could be writing a book, it could be starting a podcast, could be starting a nonprofit…but we so easily talk ourselves out of it thinking that we have all these other options and these other things that we need to be doing. When really thatthought that internal urge, it doesn't go away. It just kind of lingers.

The word "impossible" is simply not a part of Stephanie Cartin or Courtney Spritzer's vocabulary. With a "sky's the limit" mentality, these entrepreneurs walked away from their comfy corporate jobs, amid much skepticism from friends and family, and turned their side hustle into an award-winning business to find solutions to problems for other entrepreneurs.“...I remember being so scared to quit, to say those words. I didn't want to answer any questions about where I was going because…I felt so, I don't know, embarrassed to be 24 and say to my boss, ‘I'm quitting to start my own company and…I don't know if it's gonna work. We're self funding it…” I got through that whole process, but I remember at the time feeling really scared to have the conversation.…”Stephanie and Courtney are helping others chart a new course, through digital marketing, influencing, and by telling their story of re-creation to help others make the leap at Socialfly and Entreprenista.Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

But on the inside, fearing she could never live up to her perfect trailblazing television mom, Joan Lunden, she held a secret.

Anthony Bourke is a winemaker, an F-16 fighter pilot and a successful business entrepreneur. And that's just the shortlist of his accomplishments. Today he's taking all of those experiences and helping others discover how not only to live their best life, but to do it at peak performance. “...It's amazing how many dots connect in this...at least in my experience, when businesses repeat mistakes, when they become complacent, when they stop focusing on growing their people, they may not lose their lives, but you can certainly lose your way of life. We know businesses go away, we know people lose their jobs, sell their homes, move someplace else. I would certainly say that the stakes of not executing at the highest level in business and not achieving peak performance at not staying number one in your space can be nearly as significant as they are for a fighter pilot…” Learn more about Anthony and his work at mach2consulting.com Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

For more than 20 years, Bridgett Burrick Brown was a sought after model living in Paris, Miami and all around the world. And yet, she struggled with her own body image, yo-yo dieting, often told to lose weight, (even at a size four). Determined to redefine what beauty meant for herself, she walked away from the modeling world and started a movement to change the narrative of what it means to be beautiful from the inside out. “I went on this journey of watching girls struggle severely with eating disorders, and I struggled with my own. I struggled with all of my self worth tied into what I looked like. And you can get lost in that really easily because nothing else is celebrated about you.” Bridgett is ready to empower others to discover what beauty means to them at beyondbeautyproject.com Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Christina Pardy admits she did not grow up saying she wanted to be an entrepreneur, far from it. In fact, she went into sales for a tech company. But this millennial turned her side hustle into a million dollar bonafide business. Christina Pardy is the founder of STIK (“Shit that I Knit”), an apparel company that offers sustainably sourced, beautifully hand-knit products. She now has partnerships with many professional sports teams, and even designed and created apparel for the USA Beijing Olympics team. “...My fear of regret is bigger than my fear of failure….And I really thought, What if I look back on this and a year or two years or 20 years from now and say ‘I really had something that I was passionate about, but I didn't do it because I was too afraid of failing…'” You can learn more about Christina, STIK and the way she has knit a next chapter in existence at shitthatiknit.com Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Custom charcuterie arrangements, workshops and catering. “I have had a lot of ideas that I have been too scared to attempt, too scared to start…There was always some reason not to do it.

Besides giving of their time and talents to their favorite charities, Rob Gronkowski and his brother Chris have created their next chapters by becoming entrepreneurs. In fact, it's an all-around family affair with a number of different business ventures. “...The hard work that you learn, the long hours that you put in, definitely transfer over what you put into it as well, your personal efforts.

They have been happily married for more than 20 years. “... ‘Guardian of your soul' is a verb. ‘Soulmate' is a noun, it's a thing, it's an objective, but a ‘guardian of your soul' is a way of being with each other, a way of treating each other so it's a very different objective than most love coaches give you…” Meet Lisa, Benjamin and their transformational work at lisashield.com and benjaminshield.com #liveyourbestlifepodcast #liveyourbestlifewithlizbrunner https://lizbrunner.com/live-your-best-life/ Be the first to know of new episodes by subscribing to this show on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I've often said that sometimes we self-employed folks feel like rock stars, and other times…not quite so much! Let's learn to harness the power of owning who we are, to create not only more authenticity, but more consistency in our emotions. Today's conversation with guest Liz Brunner begins with the story of Liz's unexpected career transformation from TV journalist to executive communications coach, and how she was able to translate her previous skill sets and experiences into a new career path. As Liz's grandmother used to say, “no knowledge is every wasted.” From there, we discuss how recent generations are more accepting (and desirous) of a more varied career path than in the past — gone are the days of working for one company for your whole career! – and how self-awareness is a key part of this societal transition. Related to self-awareness is self-confidence. Liz talks about how to manage swings in self-confidence and shares confidence-maintaining tips and tools from her book. Finally, we discuss how finding and leveraging your voice – literally and figuratively! – can help you get your message heard. Liz Brunner is the CEO and founder of Brunner Communications, a keynote speaker, podcast host, and best-selling author of Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams Into Your Next Chapter, and recommended on Forbes.  An Emmy award-winning journalist, Liz Brunner's television career spanned 28 years and featured many memorable highlights. Along with co-anchoring the #1 rated 6pm newscast at ABC-TV, WCVB NewsCenter 5 in Boston, she conducted exclusive one-on-one interviews with prominent figures ranging from professional athletes to global political leaders including President Barack Obama as well as cultural icons such as Oprah Winfrey. In 2013, leveraging her media and communications experience and expertise, Liz founded Brunner Communications, and in February 2020, Liz launched her award-winning podcast, Live Your Best Life with Liz Brunner, where she shares stories of re-creation and reinvention.

Liz Brunner is an Emmy award-winning journalist who co-anchored the number one rated 6 pm newscast at WCVB-TV 5, Boston's ABC network affiliate. In 2013, she became the CEO and founder of Brunner Communications and launched Brunner Academy.com in 2020. A certified professional coach, expert communications coach, and motivational speaker, she is also the host of the multi-award-winning podcast, Live Your Best Life with Liz Brunner. She is the author of the book Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams Into Your Next Chapter, which  Forbes described as a teaching memoir.  Liz says she's in the fourth chapter of her career. She grew up in a family that was very involved in music, performing in her church choir and with her family in front of their congregation. Liz attended Lawrence University's Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin, became a high school music teacher, and sang semi-professionally for a time. After a few years of teaching, Liz felt there was something else she was supposed to do. While working a retail job to pay the bills, she considered many career options by reading books and taking self-assessments. Then, one day she bravely cold-called the NBC and CBS affiliates in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois,  where she had been living, to request informational interviews. It took about six months of conversations, but one of the stations actually created a role for Liz. The rest, as they say, is history. Thus began Liz's career in communications and TV news broadcasting. In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Liz's journey: Liz won the title of Miss Illinois in the Miss America Scholarship Pageant in 1979. This enabled her to pay for her college education, a proud achievement. She was the only Boston reporter to land an exclusive interview with President Barack Obama in the White House. It took her four years to get it!

If you had told me that I would be at my book signing a year ago, I would have told you to get out of town. Writing a book was always a dream, but I always put it in the “someday” category. Well, now it is a reality! I just completed my first book signing, and it was a humbling and joyful experience. I'm here to tell you as living proof that you can do whatever you want to do. Whether writing a book, starting a business, or pivoting to a new career, you've got this! This fits right into my conversation with my guest today, Liz Brunner. Liz has had a fantastic arc in her career and is yet another example of a woman who took bold and brave actions in her career to discover her next chapter. During my conversation with Liz, we covered: 1. Finding and connecting the patterns in our professional and personal lives 2. How these patterns can inform our next chapters and how no skills or experiences are truly wasted 3. What drove Liz to write her book, Dare to Own You 4. What it was like for Liz to be in the public year for over 20 years 5. How to craft an elevator pitch and why it is important to have at the ready 6. And much more.

How do you connect a high-profile brand with its best audience? Through great storytelling! Liz Brunner is the Founder and CEO of Brunner Communications, assisting high-profile individuals and organizations in developing powerful, meaningful, and desirable brand identities.  She is also the Founder of Brunner Academy of Online Learning, and the author of Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams into Your Next Chapter. Liz has had a number of professions over the course of her career, from high school music teacher to Emmy Award-winning news anchor. She explains that the key to her success can be summed up in two words: great storytelling. When you know the secrets of storytelling, you can capture the attention of your audience and keep them hooked. Having worked both in person and on television, it was easy for Liz to transition her work into the digital space after the pandemic started – in fact, she began to teach others how to engage in the virtual space and still move the dial. She shares why digital presenters need to think like TV stars, and how to get your audience to feel your presence - even through the lens. Our final topic revolves around the energy gained from working face-to-face, versus the newfound advantages of the digital space. Liz explains the pros and cons of each, and how to connect, communicate, and engage, developing the keys to success regardless of your medium. Three Key Takeaways: * When presenting virtually and using slides keep things moving! Use more slides with less content on each or include animations to keep the audience constantly engaged. * Looking directly into the camera when working online gives a feeling that you are looking directly at every member of your audience and engages them more. * While putting a message together you need to hook people right away, if you don't you'll miss an opportunity for your brand (personally and for your company).
