Do you feel guilty when you put your needs before others by saying no? When was the last time you chose yourself—just because you needed it, not because you earned it? Today, Jay is joined by Meggan Roxanne, writer, entrepreneur, and founder of the globally loved platform The Good Quote. Known for curating some of the internet’s most powerful and inspiring affirmations, Meggan now steps into the spotlight with her own voice, sharing a remarkable personal story of loss, resilience, and transformation. From growing up in a warm and loving home to experiencing a heart-wrenching moment at just four years old, when a grandparent told her they didn’t love her, Meggan opens up about how early trauma shaped her emotional world. Following her mother’s final wish, Meggan became the caretaker for her estranged grandfather, the very man who once wounded her deeply. Through that act of grace, she discovered the true meaning of forgiveness, empathy, and unconditional love. Throughout the episode, Meggan and Jay explore the difference between people-pleasing and creating space for authentic connection, how emotional boundaries protect our well-being, and what it takes to stop repeating the pain we’ve inherited. She candidly discusses the challenges of grief, especially after losing her mother, her best friend, her guide, and how that loss forced her to reimagine her identity and rebuild from the ground up. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Forgive Someone Who Hurt You Deeply How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Guilty How to Heal After Losing a Parent How to Reconnect with Your Intuition How to Break Generational Cycles of Trauma How to Build Confidence Through Self-Respect Even in the darkest of seasons, you have the power to find peace, reshape your path, and step into a life guided by intention, healing, and light.

Send us a textChelsea's journey from Division I volleyball scholarship athlete to mobile fitness entrepreneur reveals how authentic passion transforms into sustainable business success. After playing at Eastern Kentucky University and working with USA Volleyball at the Olympic Training Center, Chelsea eventually found her true calling in bringing personalized strength training directly to clients who might otherwise never step foot in a traditional gym.Home Turf Fitness was born from a simple yet brilliant observation: parents spend countless hours waiting during their children's activities—what if this time could be used for their own fitness? Chelsea and her business partner Melissa created a company that brings full equipment setups (battle ropes, bosu balls, dumbbells) to clients wherever they already are—schools, workplaces, community centers, or private homes. This convenience factor removes the time barrier that prevents many people from maintaining consistent exercise routines.What truly distinguishes their approach is the focus on proper strength training rather than typical fitness classes. Serving primarily women aged 30-65, many navigating perimenopause or menopause, Home Turf Fitness provides specialized programming that accommodates all fitness levels with appropriate modifications for aging bodies and previous injuries. Their client communication emphasizes education—dispelling myths like women getting "bulky" from weightlifting—while fostering accountability through community.The business partnership between Chelsea and Melissa exemplifies how complementary strengths create remarkable results. With different personalities and approaches, they collaborate on programming while respecting each other's unique contributions. This diversity benefits clients who experience varied training styles, keeping workouts fresh and engaging. Their sustainable growth philosophy—focusing on what works rather than pursuing rapid expansion—has allowed them to thrive for nearly six years while maintaining quality and personal connection.Ready to experience fitness that comes to you?

Morning Mantra: "Real connection doesn't come from perfection. It comes from honesty."You don't have to hide the soft, hurting, or unsure parts of you. The right hearts won't run from your truth, they'll hold it gently.When you let others, see you as you truly are, vulnerable, raw and real, that's when real connection finds room to grow.  Being your messy, imperfect, authentic self helps create a space where others feel safe to be themselves too. Your vulnerability can be a gift to others.Vulnerability is not over sharing. It's sharing with the people who have earned the right to hear your stories and your experiences.You are worthy of being seen fully, not just in your strength, but in your softness too.That's where healing in love truly begins.#BeReal #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie  #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique Quote: Brene' Brown

HR communications too often fall flat; drowning in a sea of data, facts, and formal language that fails to connect. In this episode, Disruptive HR co-founders Lucy Adams and Karen Moran explore why traditional HR comms so often miss the mark — and more importantly, how you can make yours truly stand out. Lucy and Karen share practical insights on how to transform dry, fact-heavy messaging into communications that cut through the noise, grab attention, and inspire genuine action. They explain why storytelling beats spreadsheets every time when it comes to engagement, and how honesty and authenticity can build far greater trust than polished corporate speak. You'll hear how short, human updates directly from leaders can be more powerful than lengthy newsletters, and why personalising your messages to different employee personas can make all the difference. They also highlight how tapping into employee trust through peer-led communications can amplify your impact, and why ditching jargon in favour of clear, relatable language is critical if you want your messages to land. Packed with real-world examples from organisations like Santander, Dropbox, Coca-Cola, HSBC, and more, this episode offers a fresh and practical guide for anyone who wants to transform the way HR communicates — making it more human, more engaging, and ultimately, far more effective.

Joining us today is Tiffany Cianci, a small business warrior turned advocate who's taking on the giants of private equity—and she's got a story you won't want to miss. Tiffany was once the proud owner of a Little Gym franchise in Frederick, Maryland, a toddler fitness studio she bought with her husband in 2017 after leaving behind a career as a sake-specializing sommelier. But when Unleashed Brands, a private equity-backed company, scooped up The Little Gym in 2021, everything changed. Faced with skyrocketing fees, suffocating contracts, and corporate overreach, Tiffany didn't back down—she rallied 93% of North American franchisees into an association and took the helm as president. Unleashed Brands responded by terminating her franchise, sparking a legal showdown that's left her $300,000 in debt but fiercer than ever.Now, Tiffany's a voice for the underdog, shining a light on how private equity squeezes small businesses dry. She's testified before the Federal Trade Commission and Arizona lawmakers, gone viral on TikTok and X with over 300,000 followers, and even sat down with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to unpack the middle class's erosion. A mother of three, award-winning speaker, and author of The Real Connection, Tiffany brings her political public affairs savvy and raw determination to the mic. From rebranding her gym as Teeter Tots Music n Motion to battling non-competes and forced arbitration, she's living proof of resilience—and she's here to tell us why the fight for America's small businesses is far from over.Jump into the comments and join the conversation.

In today's episode, we're tackling a topic that every entrepreneur and professional needs to master—building real, meaningful connections in a digital world. Are your followers on social media indeed connections? Or are they just numbers on a screen? We live in a time where technology makes connecting easier than ever, yet many entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners feel more disconnected than ever. That's why I've invited Lucas Root, a serial entrepreneur and business strategist, to share insights on: ✅ The difference between followers and real connections ✅ Why authentic relationships lead to business growth ✅ How to attract the right people to your network ✅ The key to building a community that supports your success ✅ The power of networking with people inside—and outside—your industry Lucas has launched 13 businesses, learned from failures and successes, and built high-value relationships that have opened significant doors—including working with global brands like Pokémon. This episode is a must-listen if you're serious about scaling your business, growing your influence, and creating authentic relationships that lead to real opportunities.

Last week, I was in Boise, Idaho speaking at ConvertKit's annual Craft and Commerce event. It's one of my favorite events of the year and this year may have been my favorite event ever. ConvertKit revealed that they are rebranding to Kit and a whole slew of other product updates as well, including opening an in person recording studio available to all ConvertKit customers, which is where today's recording took place. Today, I'm talking with two members of the lab, who have become great friends. The first is Chenel Basilio, the writer of Growth in Reverse. Growth in Reverse is a newsletter reverse engineering the email growth strategies of today's top creators. Chenel has grown that subscriber base incredibly quickly because people absolutely love the deep research she does. My second guest is Becky Davidson. Becky has a background in both product and community design and now runs her own community agency called Affinity Collective. Before striking out on her own, Becky was the head of product at Boss Babe. These two women know a lot about serving audiences in a way that makes them genuinely love the work that you do, and that's what I wanted to explore in this episode. If you wanna serve your audience in a way that is unique and memorable and remarkable, which I really think you should, then this episode is for you.
