“When you are speaking and you're in front of people and you give them the momentum to look at life from a different perspective or do something they don't have the courage to do, you could help change people's lives.”Podcasts are full of powerhouse moments, but few stories capture the grit, honesty, and resolve it takes to truly make an impact the way Stacey Chillemi's does. On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Stacey sits down with Grant Baldwin and peels back the curtain on her journey—from overcoming epilepsy and setbacks in the corporate world to building a thriving career as a speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host.Stacey talks openly about the uphill climb, the self-doubt, the setbacks, and the reality that success is never an overnight story. For Stacey, building a speaking business meant reaching out to anyone who would listen, stubbornly persevering through rejection, and finding conviction in her own lived experience—even when the path forward felt unclear.This episode is a masterclass in resilient action. Stacey lays it out straight that your story is enough, but confidence comes from doing the work consistently. She reminds us that fulfillment isn't about chasing perfection but about putting yourself out there, showing up with empathy, and taking the first step, even when you're not sure what comes next. If you're someone waiting for the “right time” to chase your dream or if you need a nudge to believe your story matters, let Stacey's hard-won wisdom and relentless optimism show you what's possible when you bet on yourself!You'll learn:The unrealistic expectation of overnight successHow Stacey helps others by sharing her storyHow difficulties impacted Stacey's career pathThe power speaking has on creating emotional impactAdvice for when your story doesn't feel “big enough”Challenges of narrowing broad experiences into a focused messageThe value of cold outreachAnd much, much more!“I had self doubt and I had to work on building confidence in myself, and anytime I saw that I made some mistakes, I had to tweak it, and fix it, and just keep moving forward.”Episode ResourcesStacey's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Show Notes:Paloma's Links:Paloma Farkas (website)Paloma's instagramEpisode Intro:Dear guests of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Our guest today is Paloma Farkas from Bishop California. Paloma is only 25 years old, but she already has 6 years of guiding under her belt. Right after she graduated from high school, her parents gifted her a NOLS backcountry rock course at the Wind River Range. Paloma then listened to the callings of mountains and followed her heart towards alpine rock climbing and started her guiding career.Paloma grew up in Seattle, Washington where she discovered her passion for the mountains through family backpacking and climbing trips in the Cascades. In 2017 she traveled to South America and fell in love with the granite towers of Patagonia. Since then she has split her time between Patagonia, Chile and the US. Paloma spends as much time as possible climbing and some of her favorite areas are Patagonia, the Peruvian Andes, the Cascades, Indian Creek, the Wind River Range, and the High Sierras. Her favorite type of climbing is big wall alpine climbing, but Paloma also enjoys single pitch trad and sport climbing, bouldering and ice climbing. When Paloma isn't pursuing her own climbing goals, she finds fulfillment in sharing her passion with others and teaching the skills necessary to be self-sufficient in the mountains. She is currently an AMGA Rock Guide, Apprentice Alpine Guide, Wilderness First Responder, AIARE Avalanche Pro 1, and Leave No Trace Trainer.I admire Paloma's attitude of going for it when she knows what she wants. She works hard and remains optimistic. We had so much laughter during our conversation and I know you'll laugh with us too when you listen to this episode. Things We Talked about:Cross Country Running was already thereFamily's influence – climbing wall at home, backpacking and climbing trips in the CascadesNOLS backcountry rock course changed Paloma's life pathThe year of 2016Wanting to head out of the country, and wanting to go to the mountainsA powerful conversation between father and daughterWhy Patagonia?From dirtbagging to hiking guide to weekend warrior2020 now what?After AMGA Rock Guide Course, Paloma started technical rock guiding in BishopComparing the work environment between the US and Chile from a female guide's perspectivePaloma's vision and business ideas – train climbers in the Sierras and bring them to PatagoniaDoes Bishop has enough work year round?How to make Bishop guiding career sustainable?Favorite type of guiding?The so-called “Gap Courses”

This normal and stigmatized phenomenon is part of most individuals' recovery journeys.We explore the traditional 12-step method that requires starting over on day one post-relapse. While this method emphasizes the importance of recognizing milestones in recovery, it can also lead to feelings of shame and guilt, which may prevent people from re-engaging with the support they need.This conversation is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the ups and downs of recovery and to reach a higher consciousness or awakening through their journey.Tommy discussesAm I broken if I relapse?Why you need a community and support systemRecovery is an evolutionary pathThe protocol to follow after a relapseHow yoga and breathwork can help you on your path of discoveryLooking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?
