What if the things that trigger you aren't simply problems to get rid of, but clues about what's happening beneath the surface? The situation that leaves you wondering, Why does this keep happening to me?In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea sits down with transformational speaker and corporate trainer Scott McKinley to explore how our triggers may reveal unconscious beliefs, interpretations, and habitual patterns that have been shaping our lives for years.Andrea and Scott explore how easily an old belief can become an interpretation, an interpretation can create an emotional response, and that response can influence our behavior before we've consciously examined what's actually happening.That's why Scott believes our triggers can become teachers.Because transformation doesn't happen once.It happens in the moment when the old reaction appears, and you recognize that you have another choice....CHAPTERS00:47 Introduction to Transformation and Change02:23 Scott's Journey to Coaching09:55 Understanding the Law of Attraction17:16 Recognizing Patterns and Triggers21:46 Building a Relationship with the Subconscious Mind26:35 The Illusion of Free Will and Automatic Thinking27:37 Neuroplasticity and Rewiring the Mind29:14 Triggers and the Power of Agency30:11 Accessing and Understanding Past Wounds33:13 Compassion and Self-Love as Foundations for Change36:15 Shifting Identities and Timelines41:16 The Observer Effect in Personal Growth47:21 Meditation as a Tool for Transformation49:57 Creating an Enlightened Society Through Self-Love51:20 Creating Your Own Reality52:07 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠About Scott McKinleyTransformational speaker and corporate trainer who helps individuals, leaders, and organizations identify unconscious beliefs and habitual patterns through his Hidden Settings framework.Website Contact Scottcoachscottmckinley@gmail.comA Note About Concepts Discussed in This EpisodeThis conversation blends psychology-related concepts such as metacognition and neuroplasticity with spiritual and personal-development frameworks including the Law of Attraction, manifestation, “timeline shifting,” and the idea that thoughts create reality.

Power is present in far more of our lives than we may realize. It shows up in boardrooms and leadership roles, but also in friendships, marriages, calendars, conversations, boundaries, attention, and the seemingly small decisions we make every day.In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea sits down with executive coach, leadership advisor, and longtime friend Julie Cullinane for a conversation about the invisible power dynamics shaping our lives, and what it means to use our power well. Rather than defining power primarily as control, she defines it as capacity: our ability to create, influence, act, and make things happen in the world.That distinction opens up an entirely different conversation.Andrea and Julie explore the difference between having formal power and actually feeling powerful, including why someone can hold an impressive title, oversee hundreds of people, manage significant resources, and still feel deeply uncomfortable owning their authority.Ultimately, this conversation invites a different relationship with power. Not power over other people. But the power to create, the power with others, and the agency to consciously decide where your time, energy, attention, influence, and effort belong.Because while none of us are all-powerful, Julie offers an important reminder:We may have more power, and less control, than we think....CHAPTERS00:45 Introduction to Good Power02:25 The Journey to Understanding Power05:26 Defining Power: Capacity vs Control08:14 Vision and Mindset in Power Dynamics09:13 The Identity of Power: Feeling Powerful vs Having Power11:21 Frameworks for Good Power15:09 Power in Relationships and Nature18:20 Micro Moments of Power Dynamics20:06 Understanding Personal Power and Its Threats24:10 Reclaiming Time and Attention28:51 The Importance of Community and Support33:53 Navigating Power Dynamics in a Complex World40:28 Creating Your Own Reality41:15 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Julie CullinaneAvia Leadership PartnersAndrea De La Cerda⁠Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠⁠⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications, and marketing.

What makes a great water polo player – physical ability, technical skills or the ability to see the game before it happens? In Episode #143 of the Waterpolo Expert Talk, Jack Kocur shares his approach to developing the next generation of water polo players. The longtime Team USA coach talks about Water Polo IQ, mental development and why young athletes can benefit from playing other sports. He explains what water polo can learn from football, basketball, hockey and the Spanish style of play – and why spatial awareness and understanding contact are essential skills. Jack also takes us through his own journey: from baseball and water polo in Southern California to Pepperdine's historic 1997 NCAA Championship, playing in Spain and Greece, and ultimately reaching the Olympic stage as a coach. A conversation about coaching, development, the underdog mentality and finding different ways to succeed in water polo.

Ted was a traditional Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) for two decades after retiring from the Marine Corps as a Lt. Col. He built the allocation models, crunched the numbers, and pushed the same one-size-fits-all plans the rest of the industry sells.But then he watched the real world happen and realized he was wrong. Smart people make irrational financial choices the moment life gets in the way. He realized that if the product and plan are perfect but the behavior is broken, the entire strategy collapses.He sold his practice, dropped his licenses, and became a Reformed Financial Advisor. Today, he's the co-founder of DreamSmart Behavioral Solutions. His latest book, Confessional of a Reformed Financial Advisor (Yep, It's Mostly BS), is his manifesto on spending smart. Why?

What if some of the qualities you're most proud of; your ambition, work ethic, independence, relentless drive, even your ability to accomplish extraordinary things, didn't begin entirely as ambition?What if achievement became one of the ways you learned to feel seen, safe, valued, or loved?In this solo episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores a question that has become increasingly personal for her: How much of our ambition comes from genuine desire, and how much comes from trying to prove that we're worthy?This isn't an argument that high achievement is inherently unhealthy, or that every ambitious person is responding to trauma. Andrea examines the important distinction between healthy striving and the kind of perfectionism that makes our identity dependent upon what we accomplish.Drawing from research on parental expectations, perfectionism, adverse childhood experiences, and achievement culture, Andrea invites listeners to consider what they would pursue if they weren't trying to impress anyone, what success would look like if nobody were watching, and whether they can separate the desire to create extraordinary things from the need for those things to prove their worth.Because the goal isn't to stop achieving.It's to stop auditioning for your own worth....CHAPTERS00:47 The Burden of Achievement02:26 Understanding Ambition vs. Validation06:18 Parental Expectations and Their Impact09:30 The Culture of High-Stakes Achievement11:07 Identifying True Ambition14:22 The Complexity of High Achievement15:34 Creating from Worthiness18:14 Creating Your Own Reality19:02 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

What if knowing what to do isn't enough to create lasting change?Sometimes we understand exactly what needs to change and still find ourselves repeating the same patterns.In this episode, Andrea sits down with clinical hypnotherapist Eric Bailey for a conversation about the subconscious mind, behavioral change, trauma, addiction, mental health, and the role hypnotherapy may play in helping people create change from the inside out.Eric shares his own history with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, obesity, and significant mental-health challenges. Andrea and Eric also explore why triggers and deeply conditioned behaviors can sometimes feel stronger than conscious intention, why old experiences can still feel emotionally present decades later, and how subconscious patterns may influence the choices we make even when we consciously want something different.Ultimately, this conversation is about more than hypnosis. It's about becoming curious about what may be happening beneath the surface—and being willing to explore new tools when the strategies you've already tried aren't creating the change you want....CHAPTERS00:46 Meet Eric Bailey02:19 What Hypnotherapy Actually Is03:22 Stage Hypnosis vs. Clinical Hypnotherapy06:51 Why We Naturally Enter Hypnotic States07:11 Why Relaxed States Can Increase Suggestibility09:08 What Does the Research Say About Hypnotherapy?11:16 Habits, Triggers, and the Subconscious Mind15:19 Eric's Personal Story of Addiction, Anxiety, and Mental Health18:53 A Frightening Turning Point20:45 The Support That Helped Eric Keep Going22:34 Healing One Small Step at a Time23:20 Moving Beyond the Holistic vs. Medical Divide25:31 Integrating Conventional and Complementary approaches27:27 Can Hypnotherapy Help With Old and Recent Trauma?29:23 Why Old Experiences Can Still Feel Present31:15 Turning Personal Transformation Into Purpose32:00 How to Connect With Eric Bailey33:35 Deep Dive Realignment VIP Day...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eric Bailey Clinical hypnotherapist and hypno-transformation specialist working with clients around behavioral change, habits, confidence, and personal transformation.Master of Persuasion EventEric mentions an in-person event in Salt Lake City taking place October 15–17 and offers a limited number of scholarships to listeners who text MASTER OF PERSUASION to 801-636-2470.Complimentary Hypnotherapy ConsultationEric invites listeners interested in learning more about hypnotherapy to text HYPNOTHERAPY to 801-636-2470 for information about a complimentary consultation, explanatory video, and audiobook.Andrea De La CerdaDeep Dive Realignment VIP Day⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications, and marketing.

What if reinvention isn't about walking away from everything you've built, but allowing what you've built to become the foundation for what comes next?In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea sits down with award-winning entrepreneur, CEO, founder, speaker, and podcast host Staci Swiderski for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, ambition, motherhood, reinvention, and creating success on your own terms.Staci shares how her own experience building her family through surrogacy ultimately inspired her to launch Family Source Consultants nearly 20 years ago. Without a formal business background, she learned entrepreneurship by doing it: staying consistent, navigating challenges, building a team, and refusing to give up when things became difficult.But Staci's story didn't stop with one successful company.After building a team she trusted and learning to work on her company rather than constantly in it, she found herself with the freedom to follow another idea. That idea eventually became She Decides, a podcast, jewelry collection, and lifestyle brand centered around women choosing the lives they actually want.Andrea and Staci also get candid about parts of entrepreneurship that aren't discussed nearly enough: what happens when friends or family don't understand your ambition, why women can carry enormous guilt around prioritizing their work, and how perfectionism and control can make delegation much harder than it needs to be.They explore why courage often has to come before confidence, how hiring people who are better than you at certain things can completely change a business, and why success doesn't have to look the same for everyone.Because creating a life on your own terms isn't necessarily about choosing between ambition, family, freedom, purpose, or joy.Sometimes it's about giving yourself permission to decide what success means to you—and then continuing to reinvent your life around that definition....CHAPTERS00:48 Introduction to Stacy Swiderski and Her Journey02:41 The Birth of Family Source Consultants09:51 The Launch of She Decides15:08 Navigating Challenges and Building Community18:49 The Reality of Support and Success in Business23:18 Balancing Family and Business Life23:56 The Importance of Resources in Entrepreneurship25:07 Unseen Challenges of Entrepreneurship26:05 The Power of Delegation27:15 Overcoming Reluctance to Delegate28:41 Perfectionism and Standards in Business31:08 Navigating Personal Relationships as an Entrepreneur33:50 Confronting Mom Guilt36:24 Defining Success on Your Own Terms38:33 Fueling Your Fire with Doubt39:59 Empowering Women in Business...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Staci Swiderski ⁠She Decides PodcastFamily Source ConsultantsAndrea De La Cerda⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications, and marketing.

Everyone is tired. But not everyone is resting. 3 takeaways from my conversation with CEO Justin Hai on stress, sleep, and performance: 1. Protect your sleep like it's your business. If you're not sleeping, you're not recovering, thinking clearly, or performing at your best. 2. Put the phone down. Every buzz keeps your body in stress mode. Step away → think better → respond smarter. 3. Small resets beat constant grind. A 15-minute walk without your phone can change your entire day. Most people don't need more time. They need better recovery. THINK BIG!   --- Justin Hai is a serial entrepreneur, product designer, and innovator whose career spans health, wellness, biotechnology, and skincare. He has co-founded multiple award-winning companies, including Alastin Skincare, GLO Pharmaceuticals, and Rebalance Health. Justin's interest in hormone health, especially the overlooked role of cortisol, began with a desire to understand how modern stress impacts the body. That search led to the founding of Rebalance Health, focused on science-backed solutions to help people reclaim their health. When his wife later faced a complex hormone-related condition that conventional medicine couldn't resolve, the mission became personal. Today, his work is fueled by a commitment to help others find clarity, calm, and joy. With a degree in Industrial Design from RISD and an MBA from Pepperdine, Justin blends creative vision with business strategy. He has contributed to NASA projects, presented cleantech to the Pentagon, and holds multiple U.S. patents and trademarks. His innovations have earned recognition from InStyle, Forbes, Oprah, NewBeauty, Best in Biz, and NASA. Through his ventures and now through his writing, Justin continues to challenge the status quo by building products and stories that help people feel better from the inside out.

What happens when the life you've built no longer feels fully aligned with who you are becoming?In this episode, Andrea sits down with longtime friend, photographer, entrepreneur, and mindset coach Renee Bowen for a deeply personal conversation about identity, entrepreneurship, healing, and rediscovering your authentic self.Renee shares her unexpected journey from psychology student to award-winning photographer and coach, revealing how entrepreneurship became one of the greatest catalysts for her own personal growth. She discovered that business challenges often have very little to do with strategy—and everything to do with the subconscious beliefs we've carried since childhood.Together, Andrea and Renee explore how early experiences shape our relationship with money, worthiness, creativity, and success. They discuss the importance of curiosity, meditation, nervous system regulation, and Human Design as tools for greater self-awareness and alignment.This conversation offers a powerful reminder that the answers you're searching for are often already within you.

When was the last time you did something simply because it brought you joy? Not because it was productive. Not because it helped your career. Not because it belonged on your to-do list.In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores why so many ambitious women gradually lose their connection to play, curiosity, and wonder as they navigate careers, family, leadership, and the endless responsibilities of adulthood.Drawing from her own journey through corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and burnout, Andrea shares how productivity quietly replaced presence and why rediscovering joy became an essential part of rebuilding a meaningful life. She explains why play isn't a luxury—it's a biological necessity that supports creativity, emotional resilience, innovation, and well-being.Through research from developmental psychology, neuroscience, and organizational behavior, along with practical reflection questions and simple daily practices, Andrea invites listeners to redefine success by making space for curiosity, delight, and the experiences that make life feel fully alive.Whether you've forgotten what you love or simply haven't given yourself permission to enjoy it, this episode is a reminder that joy isn't something you earn after the work is finished.

In this episode, we sit down with Doug Noll — a trial lawyer turned peacemaker who ditched the courtroom to spend his career teaching people how to stop screaming at each other. We get into why "communication skills" is kind of a bulls*** phrase, why trying to be rational with someone mid-meltdown just pours gas on the fire, and the weirdly simple trick — grounded in actual neuroscience — that calms a nervous system down in under 90 seconds. Doug has mediated over 1,500 disputes, teaches at Pepperdine's Straus Institute, and co-founded the Prison of Peace Project, where he trained maximum-security inmates to de-escalate violence using empathy skills. If a guy can teach that inside a prison yard, he can probably teach your management team something too. Why This Episode Matters If you lead people, manage a team, or have ever watched a conversation go sideways the second someone got emotional, this episode is for you. Doug's method isn't therapy-speak or soft-skills fluff — it's a neuroscience-backed system for keeping your cool and keeping the relationship intact when everything in you wants to explain, fix, or win. Turns out the fastest way through conflict isn't being right. It's being heard first.

What if meaningful work isn't something you find, but something you grow into?In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda sits down with entrepreneur, media personality, and confidence coach Raj Girn to explore the unexpected path that led her to meaningful work. Growing up between two cultures, Raj shares how balancing the expectations of a traditional South Asian upbringing with life in the United Kingdom shaped her understanding of identity, purpose, and leadership.Their conversation explores how becoming a mother became the catalyst for Raj's own self-discovery and how building Anokhi Media created opportunities not only to support others but also to better understand herself. Together, Andrea and Raj discuss entrepreneurship as a vehicle for personal growth, why imposter syndrome never fully disappears, and how confidence is built one intentional step at a time.They also explore the importance of finding communities that genuinely support growth, embracing vulnerability in leadership, navigating cultural and religious expectations, and learning to extend grace to yourself throughout every stage of life.Whether you're building a business, changing careers, or simply questioning what's next, this conversation is a reminder that meaningful work often begins with becoming more fully yourself....CHAPTERS00:42 Introduction to Raj Gurn02:03 Raj's Early Life and Cultural Dichotomy04:32 Navigating Conflicting Ideologies09:42 Becoming a Mother and Self-Discovery14:38 Building Anokimedia and Community Support18:35 Imposter Syndrome and Personal Growth24:44 Embracing Femininity in Leadership26:22 The Power of Vulnerability in Community27:46 Navigating Isolation and Community Needs28:55 Breaking Free from Cultural Expectations31:24 The Journey of Self-Discovery34:08 Finding Grace in Personal Growth36:19 Liberation Through Self-Realization39:38 Inspiration for Women in Transition...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Raj GirnInstagramThe Open Chest Confidence AcademyLinkedInAndrea De La Cerda⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠⁠⁠The InspirED Rewrite⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Hailey Julia grew up in a Christian home, said all the right things, and still found herself fully split, faith in one hand, the world in the other. In this conversation, she talks honestly about what it looks like to know something is true and still not live like it. She peaks on the loneliness that builds when you isolate yourself and wait for community to find you instead of going after it and the night at Pepperdine when she sat on a dorm room floor, said it out loud, and went all in.Since then, God has taken her from timid to bold in ways she can't explain. She hosted a group of women she barely knew on a faith-rooted trip to Bali. She walked onto a stage at a revival in Texas with no notes and felt the Holy Spirit carry every word. She built Bible Buddies, a kids' plush toy business born from a midnight vision, grounded in Hebrews 4:12.This episode is for anyone who knows the pull. Who's been running at half strength and wondering why nothing feels settled.Hailey Julia is a Christian content creator, entrepreneur, speaker, and world traveler based in New York City.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores one of the most overlooked drivers of fulfillment and success: where your energy goes. She explains how your attention becomes your habits, your habits become your life, and why burnout is often the result of energy leaks rather than a lack of strength. Andrea unpacks common patterns like people pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, and living in survival mode, showing how they quietly redirect your energy away from the life you actually want. Through personal stories, practical reflection exercises, and an invitation to complete a three-day energy audit, this episode offers a powerful framework for creating a life built on intention, alignment, and purpose rather than obligation....CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Energy and Life02:42 Understanding Energy Investment05:14 The Impact of Relationships on Energy07:28 Finding Purpose Through Energy Alignment09:57 Shifting Attention for Future Transformation...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠⁠The InspirED RewriteTAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores the hidden grief that comes from feeling like you don't truly belong. Through deeply personal stories from her family, marriage, and corporate leadership journey, she shares how years of adapting to meet other people's expectations led to self-abandonment rather than authentic connection. Andrea explains the difference between fitting in and belonging, why so many women confuse performance with acceptance, and how loneliness often stems from hiding who we really are.

Stress has become so normal at work that plenty of people wear it like a badge. Justin Hai wants that to change. He is the co-founder and CEO of Rebalance Health and the author of Stress Nation, and he studies what our always-on habits do to our stress, our sleep, and our health. Justin breaks down cortisol, the hormone he calls the body's alarm system, and explains why it gets stuck in the on position when we never put the phone down. He makes the case that sleep is the first thing to protect, not the last, and that most of the shortcuts people reach for are treating symptoms instead of the cause. Brandon and Justin also get practical. You will hear simple changes you can make with your phone, your evening routine, and your schedule to feel more like yourself again. They talk through why in-person connection lowers stress, the real difference between stress and anxiety, and why running your work life on four hours of sleep is a decision you would never make behind the wheel. If stress has become a badge of honor on your team, this one is worth sharing with them. About our guest Justin Hai is the co-founder and CEO of Rebalance Health, a company focused on cortisol and hormone health backed by clinical research. He is the author of Stress Nation: Escape the Technology Trap, Eliminate Stress, and Reclaim Rest, published by Wiley. Before Rebalance, he co-founded Alastin Skincare and GLO Pharmaceuticals. He holds a degree in industrial design from RISD and an MBA from Pepperdine. His work centers on how modern technology disrupts cortisol, sleep, and overall health, and what people can do to get back into balance.

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores why so many women struggle with negotiation and why the challenge has less to do with confidence than with lifelong conditioning. She explains how women are often taught to prioritize likability over self-advocacy, making it difficult to negotiate compensation, pricing, boundaries, and opportunities. Andrea reframes negotiation as a conversation about alignment rather than confrontation and shares practical strategies to communicate value with greater clarity, confidence, and authority. Whether you're negotiating your salary, setting business rates, or advocating for your role, this episode offers actionable insights to help you stop shrinking and start leading....CHAPTERS00:00 Why Women Hesitate to Negotiate 02:12 The Conditioning Behind Self-Advocacy 05:04 Why Likability Feels Safer Than Respect 07:46 The Hidden Cost of Staying Quiet 10:18 Negotiation Is About Alignment, Not Conflict 12:30 Four Practical Ways to Start Negotiating 16:42 Building Confidence Through Self-Advocacy 19:03 The Long-Term Impact of Speaking Up...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Are you still playing by the old career rules, sending out resumes, waiting for HR to notice you, and hoping AI doesn't filter you out before a human ever sees your name? Are you frustrated that you “did everything right” (education, resume, interview skills) yet still feel invisible in a job market overrun by automation, layoffs, and gig work? In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Chaz Austin explains why corporate loyalty is dead and why every worker, employee, freelancer, or consultant must start thinking like an entrepreneur. Drawing on his doctorate in organizational leadership from Pepperdine, three books, including How to Find Work for the Rest of Your Life, LinkedIn Learning career courses, and a TEDx talk, he breaks down how AI has flooded the hiring system with noise, and why employers are retreating to the safest filter they know: real human relationships and referrals. Instead of hoping an algorithm notices you, Chaz shows you how to become the person people already know and trust before an opening is ever posted, rather than relying on random luck. https://youtu.be/4Ooqx32wiHs?si=HVYTr3Zmb0rgE6ks Dr. Chaz walks you through a practical, modern strategy centered on LinkedIn, targeted groups, and consistent visibility. He reveals how to position your profile, so decision-makers instantly see your value, how to use groups and volunteering as an “audition” for future work, and why you must embrace the reality that you now have two jobs: your craft and your self‑marketing. His “farmer” metaphor, planting and nurturing many relationship seeds over time, offers a realistic, sustainable way to generate ongoing gigs, referrals, and opportunities without feeling like a pushy salesperson. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone frustrated by ignored applications, unstable employment, or a nagging fear that they're being left behind by AI and automation. If you're ready to stop depending on resumes and start building a relationship-powered, opportunity-rich career in the gig economy, Dr. Chaz's approach may be the reset you need. Quotes: "Think of yourself as a farmer: plant as many seeds as you can. You water them, you nurture them, and you don't need all of them to grow; if a few start to pop up, that's your new client, that's your new gig." "Sometimes they don't hire the best people; they hire people they know and trust that they've worked with before." "You need to lower your expectations significantly about the old sending out the resume. You can continue to do that, but don't expect anything. A lot of it is just busy work."  Contact Details: Explore Dr. Chaz Austin's Official Website Visit Dr. Chaz Austin's Facebook Page Connect with Dr. Chaz Austin on LinkedIn Follow Dr. Chaz Austin on Instagram Get a Copy of How to Find Work for the Rest of Your Life on Amazon

"When you say your racial identity is essential to who you are rather than incidental, then you've got the ingredients for tribal warfare." — Victor Davis Hanson  After decades of affirmative action, DEI programs, and identity politics, Americans are tired of seeing every issue through the lens of race. Racial preferences and identity-based politics have weakened social cohesion instead of strengthening it. A society built around shared values, assimilation, and equal treatment under the law is being replaced by a growing focus on group identity and grievance.

After years of alienating working-class voters, Democrats are suddenly trying to rebrand themselves as champions of Main Street with candidates like James Talarico and Graham Platner. From carefully crafted campaign images to handpicked candidates marketed as authentic, the party is betting voters will forget its record.  But can political theater overcome years of rhetoric and policies that pushed millions of working Americans away? The latest attempts to win back the white working class may reveal more about Democrat elites than the voters they're trying to persuade.

The facts are not in dispute. Henry Nowak, a young university student was talking home one night when a 23-year-old Sikh immigrant stabbed him in the chest several times with a “ceremonial blade.” Vickrum Digwa, the killer, told police that Nowak had racially assaulted him. This was a lie. The police handcuffed Nowak, leaving him to bleed out in front of them. "Mr. Nowak, unlike George Floyd, was not a career criminal. He was not being handcuffed because he was passing counterfeit currency and high on fentanyl and resisting arrest as Mr. Floyd was. It's far more egregious for police to handcuff a man bleeding on the ground than to use a standard approved measure to restrain a suspect that was resisting arrest that went south when he stopped breathing.  What was the reaction? The United States blew up for four months.  What was the reaction in Britain to Mr. Nowak? Silence," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda challenges the idea that women should be able to “have it all” at the same time without sacrifice or tension.
