Podcasts about redefining success

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore what happens when a mental health professional realizes that the career path they've built no longer aligns with who they are or where they want to go. Our guest, Carly Hill, shares her personal journey of stepping away from clinical work, including the factors that influenced her decision, the challenges she faced along the way, and the lessons she learned during the transition. Together, we discuss how clinicians can evaluate whether they're experiencing temporary burnout or a deeper desire for change, and how to thoughtfully approach a career pivot without feeling like they're abandoning their training, experience, or purpose. Whether you're considering a new professional direction or simply curious about the many ways a mental health career can evolve, this conversation offers practical guidance, honest reflection, and encouragement for anyone navigating a season of change. Success doesn't always mean staying on the same path—it can also mean having the courage to create a new one.What You'll Learn:The emotional challenges clinicians often face when considering a transition away from direct clinical work.How to navigate feelings of guilt, uncertainty, or fear when contemplating a major career change.Why leaving clinical work does not mean abandoning your training, expertise, or impact.Examples of alternative career paths and opportunities available to mental health professionals beyond traditional clinical roles.Bio:Carly Hill is a licensed clinical social worker and 7-figure business mentor for therapists and coaches.

Success has a scoreboard, but who decided what points count? We start with raw worship and real revival reports, including churches uniting and hundreds receiving the Holy Ghost, and then we turn toward the question that quietly shapes every ministry decision: what do we mean when we say “successful”? Dr. Jackson joins us with stories that feel almost too familiar if you've spent time in Pentecostal leadership, like the moment a simple ride in a rental car turns into someone shouting and speaking in tongues. From there we talk about the fivefold ministry, the freedom of God to work outside our plans, and the hard prayer of surrender: cancel my thoughts and let your purpose lead. Along the way we pause to pray, because Apostolic mentoring is not theory to us, it's lived obedience. Then we challenge the metrics most of us inherit without noticing: attendance, buildings, and cash. We don't deny those numbers exist, but we refuse to let them define spiritual success or church health. Instead, we name deeper measures that actually build a Spirit-filled church that lasts: discipleship, evangelism, and fellowship. The conversation lands on faithfulness, not hype, and on benediction over reputation, with a reminder that you don't control outcomes, you control obedience. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a leader who feels pressure to “produce,” and leave a review so more people can find Apostolic Mentoring.We love to hear from our listeners!

What happens when the business is winning, but your life is paying the price?George Rivera, founder of the Buy Back Time Formula, joins I Am Refocused Radio to unpack the hidden cost of being the founder who is always available. After helping generate hundreds of millions in online sales, including scaling a brand from zero to more than $200 million, George realized that success on paper did not automatically create freedom at home.In this conversation, George shares how he moved from being a constantly-on founder to becoming a Father-First Owner, redesigning his leadership through stronger operators, simpler systems, and clearer decision-making. Today, his work helps 7- and 8-figure founders escape “founder prison,” reclaim 10–20 hours each week, and build companies that can grow without sacrificing family, health, or faith.We also explore the Two-Week Vacation Test, why constantly being available can weaken both leadership and family relationships, what your children will ultimately remember, and how entrepreneurs can buy back their time without shrinking their ambition.This conversation challenges one of entrepreneurship's biggest myths: success isn't just about building a business that needs you. It may be about building one that can thrive without you.https://buybacktimeformula.comLeo's Interviews: https://leointerviews.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

What does success really look like—and who gets to define it? In the final episode of this three-part conversation, Dr. Kim sits down with Tom Pfeiffer to talk about the subtle ways we drift from our priorities without even realizing it. Together they unpack why saying "yes" to every good opportunity can cost us what matters most, how small daily habits shape the life we're building, and why true success isn't measured by titles or achievements but by living a life that's aligned with your values. Whether you're feeling stuck, stretched too thin, or simply wondering if you're chasing the right things, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, evaluate what's most important, and take one intentional step toward the life God is calling you to live.   Episode Highlights: Learn how "priority drift" quietly pulls you away from what matters most—and how to stop it. Why chasing alignment instead of success leads to greater freedom, purpose, and peace. Simple daily habits that create lasting change, both personally and professionally. Practical encouragement to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start taking the next right step. Quotes from This Episode: Tom Pfeifer: "Priority drift doesn't happen all at once. It's one extra meeting, one extra commitment, one extra 'yes.'" "Every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to something else." "Success is what other people can see. Alignment is when the life you're living matches the values you say you have." "The best decision I ever made was to stop chasing success and start chasing alignment." "Sports are supposed to be fun. You're not going to war." "So many of the things we worry about are first-world problems." "Don't quit your job tomorrow. Start stacking proof one day at a time." "Your habits become discipline, and discipline will always outlast motivation." "Everyone has the same 24 hours. It's not about having time—it's about the choices you make." "Just do the thing. Take the first step and let tomorrow build on today." Dr. Kim Kimberling: "Culture doesn't pull us away from what matters overnight—it happens one small drift at a time." "When we say yes to too many good things, we often end up saying no to the people who matter most." "The hardest part of protecting your priorities is learning to say no." "You don't always realize you're drifting until you look up and wonder how you got so far from what matters." "Don't get impatient. Big life changes are built one step at a time." "Working out changes far more than your body—it changes your confidence and your mindset." "One day stacked on another becomes a habit, and habits shape the life you live." "Ask yourself: Are you drifting? And if you are, where is that drift taking you?" "The best opportunities aren't always the ones that align with your priorities." "You have to define success for yourself instead of letting culture define it for you."   Time to Talk About It:  Where have you noticed "priority drift" in your own life, and what's one step you can take to realign with what matters most? How do you currently define success? Has that definition changed over the years? What's one habit or daily choice that could help you become more intentional with your time, relationships, or calling?

How can confronting life's uncertainties and redefining success lead to a more authentic, purpose-filled life? In this engaging episode of the Slight Shift Show, Chris and Angela sit down with Dr. Taryn Majewski, an optometrist, to explore the transformative power of intentional living. Dr. Taryn candidly shares her personal journey of navigating career burnout, stepping away from her father's optometry practice, and overcoming deep-seated self-doubt. By re-evaluating her core values during the COVID-19 pandemic, she shifted her focus from seeking external validation to prioritizing time, family, and inner peace. Her story serves as an inspiring reminder that making small, intentional shifts and embracing temporary discomfort can unlock authentic self-worth and lasting happiness.

Working mothers are often told they can "have it all." But what many actually hear is that they're expected to do it all—build a successful career, raise thriving children, manage a household, nurture relationships, and somehow make it all look effortless. It's no wonder so many women feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and convinced they're somehow falling short. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil welcomes Julia Sewell—performance coach, founder of the Self-Made Mom movement, entrepreneur, and author of The Self-Made Mom: Thriving at Home and at Work Without Compromise. Together, they challenge outdated expectations surrounding motherhood and success while exploring what it truly means to build a life that honors both ambition and well-being. In This Episode, Nicole and Julia Discuss: What it means to become a "Self-Made Mom." The concept of "noble self-abandonment" and how it keeps women depleted. How tying self-worth to productivity leaves women feeling like they're never enough. Julia's personal "broken red cup" story and the wake-up call that transformed her marriage and life. Why self-awareness often has to come before relationship repair. How partners can become allies in building healthier family systems. Why working moms should apply business strategies to their personal lives. Using values, systems, and planning to reduce stress and decision fatigue. Communicating effectively with family members and other key stakeholders. Delegating responsibilities based on strengths instead of outdated assumptions. How hiring help can reduce burnout and create more presence at home. Letting go of the myth of perfect work-life balance. This powerful conversation is about what it really takes to redefine success on your own terms as a working mom. Offering a new way forward for women who are ready to stop measuring themselves against impossible standards and start building lives that actually work for them.  Thank you to our sponsors!

In this episode of Inspire + Move, Matt and sharing about how our definition of success has shifted in our 40s. What once felt important in our 20s and 30s, from status symbols to constantly pushing harder, has evolved into something that feels a lot more grounded, intentional and aligned.We're talking about the idea of building a different kind of wealth portfolio, one that includes your health, relationships, time, community, financial future and the people you choose to surround yourself with.Tune in to hear more about:• How our definition of success has changed as we've gotten older.• Why quality, health, time and experiences have become more valuable than simply having more.• The importance of being intentional about where you invest your money, energy and attention.• How your environment and the people around you can either elevate or drain you.• Why prioritizing your physical health, mental well-being and long-term financial stability can completely shift how you experience success.We also get into the idea of auditing your own “wealth” portfolio, spelled W-E-L-L-T-H, and asking whether the way you are spending your time, energy and money actually supports the life you say you want. Success can look different in every season, but for us, it now feels a lot more like feeling strong, having meaningful relationships, creating experiences we love and building a life that supports us long term.If you enjoyed this episode, it would mean SO much to me if you could leave a 5-star rating or review on your favourite listening platform!

In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with Lacey Newman — founder, coach, and keynote speaker who's helped thousands of high-performing women build lives and businesses that are truly their own. Lacey built and scaled a real estate team to nearly a billion dollars in sales, hosted an Emmy-nominated TV show, and grew her income to seven figures — then realized she was running a wildly successful but deeply misaligned life. She shares the moment she hit the highest high and felt nothing, how boundaries became her most strategic business tool, and why she walked away from the top of her industry to reinvent everything. Whether you're navigating burnout, a career pivot, or a new season of life, this conversation is your permission slip to redefine success on your own terms — because it's never too late to build a life that actually fits who you are now.✨ What You'll LearnWhy hitting every goal can still leave you feeling empty — and what that emptiness is actually trying to tell youHow to go from operator to CEO — and stop running your business (and your life) in reactive modeWhy boundaries are your most strategic tool — and how they actually make people respect you MOREHow to tell the difference between real burnout and a quiet calling toward something newWhy midlife is the perfect time to redefine success — and rebuild your work from clarity instead of hustle

What if the goal you're still chasing isn't even yours anymore? In week 7 of the Dream Business Blueprint series, Lori Lyons makes the case that most of us never actually chose our definition of success - we inherited it, from an industry, from social media, or from a younger version of ourselves who set the goal years ago, in a completely different season of life. Lori walks through her own "What Do You Really Want" exercise in three simple steps, shares the real story behind leaving a mastermind she'd outgrown, and unpacks the difference between growth and scale, and revenue and freedom - including how one client is reverse-engineering her business around a very specific dream: three months hiking the Camino Trail. If you've ever felt like you're chasing a goal you set years ago instead of the life you actually want today, this episode is your permission slip to redefine it. Grab this week's worksheet, the Success Assessment, as part of the Dream Business Blueprint: midlifebusinessacademy.com/blueprint Ready to figure out what success actually looks like for you? Book a Dream Business Design Session at talkwithlori.com. 3 Key Takeaways You don't owe your younger self a bigger business. The goals you set years ago belonged to a different season of your life. Outgrowing them isn't a failure of ambition - it's what happens when you've actually lived some life. Growth and scale aren't the same thing. Scale means more - more clients, more team, more complexity. Growth means better - better systems, better margins, a better life running it. You can grow significantly without ever scaling. Know what you want before you define success. Run the three-step exercise - embrace, get specific, find momentum - so your definition of success is built around your actual dream life, not a generic number you assumed you were supposed to hit.   Ready to build a business that gives you more freedom and more profit? Schedule your Dream Business Design Session at TalkWithLori.com and let's create a business that works for your life, not the other way around.   Resources: Download your Dream Business Blueprint workbook HERE Join Lori's private Facebook group - The Midlife Business Academy.

Wasim Osman: The Scrum Master as a Router, Redefining Success Through Efficient Communication Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "A big part of the Scrum Master role is to work as a router—handling a lot of conversations with a lot of different devices, even though the internet is coming in through one cable." - Wasim Osman   For Wasim, success as a Scrum Master looks like a router in a house: many conversations, many stakeholders, all flowing through one point that has to prioritize, schedule, and stay on time. If the router slows down, everything downstream stalls—and the Scrum Master becomes the blocker. Early in his career he was overwhelmed juggling three or four engineering teams, so he built himself a personal Kanban board and ran his own quick standup every morning and again at the end of the day, just to see what moved, what stalled, and why. Getting organized with himself is when the work started to feel satisfying, because he stopped being the bottleneck. But he's honest about the hardest part: people rarely tell you to your face when you're slowing them down. The feedback is already there—you're just not hearing it. So you have to ask for it, react well when you get it (or people stop offering), and sometimes name the awkward truth first: "Our meetings used to be better—what happened?" That opening gives everyone permission to be honest.   Self-reflection Question: If you're the "router" for your teams, where are you quietly becoming the bottleneck—and who would tell you if you were? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: What Went Well / What Went Wrong / Outliers + Open Discussion Wasim's go-to retrospective is deliberately bare-bones: what went well, what went wrong, and—the part that makes it his own—what were the outliers, followed by open discussion. He added the "outliers" question years ago after noticing that team members kept raising points that weren't clearly good or bad, but were still significant enough to discuss. Outliers give people "a bucket for sharing information that has no polarity"—an early signal about the future, a quiet concern, something that doesn't fit the other two columns but matters. He sometimes pairs it with lightweight metrics: sprint completion rate, or tickets that sat too long in review or QA, surfacing patterns the team wouldn't otherwise notice.   Self-reflection Question: What "outlier" signal has your team been sitting on—neither a win nor a problem yet—that deserves an open conversation before it becomes one?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan?You adapt. You redefine success. You find what matters. You keep going. And you remember: this is only a season.In this episode, Dream Makers host Claire Byrt sits down with speaker, entrepreneur, mentor and podcast host Carlo Cirillo for the first podcast conversation he's said yes to in two years.And a lot has happened in those two years.Carlo talks openly about becoming a father while simultaneously moving through one of the hardest seasons of his life — grief, loss, a relationship ending, a business falling apart, debt, returning to a job, moving back home and, for a period, sleeping in his van.But this isn't an episode about everything that went wrong.It's about what you do next.Claire and Carlo explore what it means to stay in the arena when the original plan falls apart, why sometimes moving forward looks like going backwards, and how to know when it's time to stop chasing an old version of success and ask yourself what you actually want now.They talk about ambition without self-punishment, purpose beyond job titles, the difference between measurable success and meaningful impact, Carlo's return to faith and God, fatherhood, rebuilding a business, and learning to trust that whatever happens next, you'll figure it out.Because your purpose might not look the way you thought it would.Your definition of success might change.The path might take you somewhere you never planned to go.And you can still build a beautiful fucking life.This is only a season. Keep going.In this episode: starting again, entrepreneurship, resilience, redefining success, purpose, meaningful work, fatherhood, faith, God, ambition, pressure, self-trust, gratitude, goals, vision and building a life by design.Connect with Carlo: https://www.instagram.com/carlo_cirilloGET YOUR COPY HERE.

Chantell Preston has spent more than 25 years building, scaling, and transforming businesses in healthcare. After leaving the corporate world and building her own successful career, she became passionate about empowering women to redefine success on their own terms. She is the author of The Success Lie: Reframing Your Reality to Thrive Personally and Professionally and recently invested in women's professional sports by purchasing a women's professional volleyball team in San Francisco. In this episode, Chantell shares how betting on herself, building the right network, and becoming intentional with her time helped her create a career—and life—that actually feels fulfilling. On this episode we talk about: Why who you know can be more valuable than what you know—and how to build meaningful relationships Chantell's decision to leave the corporate world and build her own healthcare business The pressure women face to be “perfect” and how to redefine success on your own terms How saying yes to everything can actually prevent you from reaching your goals Balancing entrepreneurship, purpose, and family without sacrificing the things that matter most Why failure and setbacks can become some of your greatest opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Bet on yourself and figure things out along the way. You don't have to know everything before taking an opportunity. Sometimes you simply need to put yourself in the right room and trust that you can learn what you need to know. Define success for yourself. Money and titles can be great goals, but achieving them doesn't necessarily mean you'll feel fulfilled. Get intentional about what success actually means to you and where you want to spend your time. Focus on quality over quantity with your time. Whether it's your career, relationships, or family, being intentional and emotionally present can matter far more than simply being physically present.

Will's story is anything but ordinary — from leading change management at a 53,000-person consulting firm, to a DUI, an arrest, and five weeks in jail, to emerging with a radically different understanding of purpose, community, and what it means to truly thrive.Together, Mark and Will explore:Interdependence — why there is no such thing as a self-made human, and why connection is the opposite of addictionTransformation vs. change — the critical difference between the two, and why the space in between is where real growth happensPurpose — how to move from chasing external markers of success to asking, "How can I be a good ancestor today?"Radical self-ownership — owning your side of the street and finding meaning even in your hardest momentsEmotional capitalism — what it looks like to invest love and authenticity in others the way a venture capitalist invests moneyThis conversation will challenge how you define success, inspire you to reach out to someone who can help you, and remind you that your life has a purpose worth living boldly.Connect with Will: willsampson.com or find Will on LinkedIn.To join our free community for purpose discovery: https://www.skool.com/purpose-mastermind/aboutSupport the show

She's the creator of The Neurodiverse Classroom®, a professional development curriculum for educators, and the author of her new book The Neurodivergent Learner, which we'll be talking about today. In our conversation, Emily and I talk about why safety and regulation are foundational for learning, how relationships at school can shape outcomes in powerful ways, and what it means to redefine success for kids who don't fit traditional models. We also explore practical ways parents can partner with schools to better support their children, and how shifting our lens can open up new possibilities for growth, connection, and well-being. About Dr. Emily King  Dr. Emily King is a child psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent learners for over 20 years. She received a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and began her career in Houston, Texas, specializing in school-based mental health in K-12 public schools.

Leadership burnout does not always happen when everything falls apart. Sometimes it happens when everything is going right, but the pace, pressure, and responsibility are no longer sustainable.Josh Helgesen, CEO and majority owner of Greiner Construction, joins Jaime Taets to talk about the hidden weight of leadership, energy management, self-leadership, and the cost of confusing exhaustion with success. Josh shares his 26-year journey from apprentice carpenter to CEO, what changed when he realized he was strong for everyone else but was not refueling himself, and why sustainable leadership requires more than ambition.Jaime and Josh explore what it means to recognize an unsustainable pace before a crisis hits, how to protect white space, and why the climb does not have to mean climbing harder. Sometimes, you need to climb smarter.Timestamped Chapters0:00 Introduction to Josh Helgesen2:07 The Hidden Climb of Leadership3:21 From Apprentice Carpenter to CEO8:05 The People Who Shape Your Leadership9:50 The Climb Moment: When Everything Was Working11:21 Recognizing an Unsustainable Pace13:09 When Leadership Starts Affecting Home16:11 Letting Go of Being the One Who Carries Everything17:10 Redefining Success as Alignment and Endurance18:40 Protecting White Space and Auditing Your Energy22:27 Ambition, Alignment, and Self-LeadershipGuest BioJosh Helgesen is the CEO and majority owner of Greiner Construction. He began his career with the company 26 years ago as an apprentice carpenter and worked his way through roles including foreman, superintendent, field leadership, ownership, and ultimately CEO.His leadership journey is a powerful example of how career growth is built through opportunity, experience, relationships, mentorship, peer groups, coaching, and the willingness to keep learning. Josh now focuses not only on leading the business but also on becoming a better leader, father, husband, and human being.Quotes from the Episode"You don't get extra credit for exhaustion.""Ambition without alignment will cost you.""Protect your energy. Everyone you lead feels it."Leadership InsightsWhat is leadership burnout?Leadership burnout is the exhaustion that can develop when sustained pressure, responsibility, and ambition are not balanced with recovery, boundaries, and personal well-being. Josh emphasizes that pressure itself is not necessarily the problem. The danger comes from unmanaged pressure and an unsustainable pace.What is self-leadership?Self-leadership starts with managing yourself before trying to manage everyone and everything around you. For Josh, that means understanding your energy, recognizing your limits, reflecting before reacting, and making sure your ambition remains aligned with the life and relationships you want to protect.How can leaders recognize an unsustainable pace?Leaders can recognize an unsustainable pace when they notice subtle signs such as less patience, internal tension, constant go mode, and the feeling of being strong for everyone else but not refueling themselves. Josh explains that these signs often appear when everything looks successful on paper, making them easy to ignore.ResourcesConnect with Josh Helgesen  on  LinkedIn Learn more about  Greiner ConstructionExplore Jaime's Women's Executive Retreats.Explore Keystone Group International and its leadership, culture, and organizational growth work.Follow Jaime on Instagram, LinkedIn, and FacebookIf you have ever felt like you are strong for everyone else but not refueling yourself, this conversation is for you.

Leadership through adversity is not about avoiding the valley. It is about building a foundation strong enough to keep you moving through it.Ben Utecht, former NFL tight end, Super Bowl champion, speaker, author, and culture expert, joins Jaime Taets for a conversation about fear, failure, preparation, belief, identity, and the peaks and valleys that shape a meaningful life.Ben shares the story of going from a potential first-round NFL draft pick to an undrafted free agent after a devastating injury and then receiving an unexpected call from Tony Dungy and the Indianapolis Colts. His journey ultimately led him to the NFL, a Super Bowl championship, a career in speaking and culture, and his book The Champion's Creed. But the real story is not the highlight reel. It is what happened in between.Jaime and Ben explore what it means to stay grounded when you are at the top, rebuild yourself when you are in the valley, and stop allowing achievements to define your identity. They discuss how preparation builds confidence, why surrender can be a catalyst for winning, and how leaders can build a foundation of beliefs they can return to in difficult seasons.Timestamped Chapters0:00 Introduction to Ben Utecht2:36 From Minnesota to the NFL with Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy7:11 Discovering Purpose Beyond Achievement9:56 Fear of Failure and the Voice of Self-Doubt12:16 From Potential First-Round Pick to Undrafted Free Agent14:58 The Unexpected Call from Tony Dungy16:59 Finding Consistency Through Peaks and Valleys18:36 Navigating Identity Shifts22:56 Redefining Success and Letting Go of Materialism25:22 Why Surrender Is a Catalyst for Winning29:38 Building a Foundation You Can Return ToGuest BioBen Utecht is a former NFL tight end, Super Bowl champion, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and culture expert.

Ben Utecht's story shows how preparation, belief, values, and endurance can give leaders a foundation to rely on during uncertain or challenging seasons.Why is preparation important for overcoming adversity?Preparation creates confidence because it gives people something concrete to fall back on when fear and uncertainty appear. Ben explains that his preparation in sports, through film study, training, and repetition, helped quiet self-doubt and gave him confidence when facing difficult situations.How can leaders build a foundation for hard times?Leaders can build a foundation by clarifying what they believe, writing down their values, and creating a personal creed they can return to.

You control more than you think. Giselle Ugarte shares why you're more powerful than you realize and how to stop giving your power away to other people's opinions.Giselle Ugarte, performance coach, international speaker, and executive coach, joins Jaime Taets for a candid conversation about control, confidence, authenticity, and the pressure of other people's expectations.After leaving college without a plan, Giselle reinvented herself multiple times before launching her own business during the pandemic. She opens up about difficult seasons involving mental health, illness, and identity — and how those experiences taught her to take responsibility for what she can control. She also shares a powerful mindset shift: "Respectfully, you are not my audience." Not everyone who loves you or has an opinion about your choices is qualified to advise you on where you're going next.Jaime and Giselle discuss how to filter outside opinions, ask for the support you need, and build a circle that helps you grow. They explore why authentic connection requires someone to go first, how vulnerability creates a ripple effect, and why success is ultimately about using what you've been given to make a positive impact on others.Timestamped Chapters0:00 Introduction to Giselle Ugarte3:05 From TV Host to Entrepreneur: Reinventing Yourself7:00 The Importance of Being Seen and Sharing Your Story9:00 Health Struggles and Showing Up Authentically13:23 Changing Your Identity and Your Circle16:00 How to Handle Criticism Without Becoming Defensive19:12 Letting Go of Family Approval22:58 "Respectfully, You Are Not My Audience"25:22 Redefining Success and Creating a Ripple Effect29:19 Protecting Your Energy and Building a Reflection Practice34:31 Ask for the Support You NeedGuest BioGiselle Ugarte is a performance coach, international speaker, executive coach, and professional speaker.

Giselle encourages listeners to focus on what they can influence, ask for the support they need, and take ownership of the choices available to them.How do you know whose advice to listen to?Not everyone who gives you advice is qualified to guide your next move. Giselle's framework is to ask whether the person is your audience or a mentor: have they done what you're trying to do, or are they someone you actually want to serve? If not, their opinion may not deserve the weight you're giving it.Why is it important to ask for support?Many people expect others to read their minds and then feel disappointed when support doesn't come. Giselle explains that asking for help is part of taking responsibility. If you need encouragement, accountability, or a cheerleader, you have to name it and ask for it.ResourcesConnect with Giselle Ugarte: giselleugarte.com | Hub for performance coaching, speaking, and her newsletter.Follow Giselle on Instagram and LinkedInAction-Forward Coaching | A confidence and communication boot camp to help you be seen and heard. Learn more about Jaime Taets and her work in leadership development and organizational growth.Explore Jaime's Women's Executive Retreats, focused on dreams, fears, purpose, and meaningful change.Follow Jaime on Instagram, LinkedIn, and FacebookIf you have been waiting for permission to stop letting other people's opinions define your path, this is your sign.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of opportunity, but fear? In part two of Dr. Kim's conversation with Tom Pfeiffer, they explore what it takes to step into the life God is calling you to live. Tom shares how walking away from a successful legal career taught him that waiting for certainty often keeps us from taking the very steps that lead to growth. Together, they discuss the cost of inaction, learning to let go of other people's opinions, changing the trajectory of your family legacy, and why being fully present with your spouse and children is one of the greatest investments you'll ever make. Whether you're facing a career decision, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to live with greater purpose, this conversation will encourage you to stop waiting for the "perfect time" and start making intentional choices today.   Episode Highlights: Stop waiting for certainty—action creates clarity. Don't let other people's opinions dictate your future. Choose presence with your family over the pursuit of success. Build a legacy you'll be proud to look back on.   Quotes from this Conversation: Tom Pfeiffer "We always think you need certainty before action. But I think it's the opposite." "We never really contemplate the cost of inaction. What did I miss by not doing that?" "Far too often, you'll look back when you're 60, 70, or 80 years old and say, 'Man, I wish I did that.'" "I honestly stopped caring what people think. It's a daily practice, but it's life-changing." "Write down the names of the people whose opinions actually matter to you. I'll bet you're done in 30 seconds." "The majority of people who have an opinion about what you're doing are usually just afraid to do it themselves." "I was more afraid of staying where I was and not being a present dad than I was of making the change." "It's not going to say 'JD' or 'Doctor' on your tombstone. It's going to say father, husband, son. Those are the things that matter." "There are moments in life that are the last time you'll ever do something—and most of the time, you don't even know it." "Sports are a vehicle for life. You have to be okay with adversity because that's where growth happens." "You have to be okay with delayed gratification. You're going to crawl, then walk, then jog, then run." "The version of you that you present every day is the driving factor behind the life you build."   Dr. Kim Kimberling "There's such a profound satisfaction that comes from being the person who changes your family lineage." "Most people don't think about us nearly as much as we think they do." "If they're not on your list, don't give their opinion power over your life." "Your spouse and your kids will know if you're not being who God created you to be." "What's really important is the dash between the dates. What did you do with your time?" "You can always find time for your family if you decide they're a priority." "Your kids won't remember the career you built. They'll remember that you were there." "If you're becoming the person God created you to be, everyone around you benefits." Time to Talk About it: Where in your life are you waiting for certainty before taking a step of faith, and what might happen if you took action instead? Whose opinions have the biggest influence on your decisions, and are those the people whose voices should matter most? If your spouse or children described what you prioritize with your time, what would they say—and does that align with the legacy you want to leave?  

What if your wilderness season isn't a sign that God has left you—but proof that He's preparing you? In this powerful return to the Revelations Podcast, Christa Black Singh shares how God has continued to redeem every chapter of her story. From heartbreak and divorce to remarriage, motherhood, and deep spiritual healing, Christa reflects on what it truly means to walk with Jesus through seasons of crushing, restoration, and rest. Together, Reagan and Christa explore difficult but important topics including suffering, biblical discernment, spiritual warfare, the unseen spiritual realm, New Age deception, healing from trauma, and learning to hear God's voice before praying and speaking our own declarations. Christa also shares deeply personal stories about the loss of her daughter Goldie, God's redemption through unimaginable grief, and the profound lessons she learned after leaving New Age practices behind. Christa breaks down the realms of heaven, ancient technology and how understanding the strategies of the enemy can transform our spiritual lives. Whether you're walking through a wilderness season, wrestling with spiritual questions, or longing for deeper intimacy with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's goodness, embrace His refining work, and remember that His redemption is always greater than your pain. Key Takeaways God often uses wilderness seasons to prepare us for greater purpose. True success is becoming more like Christ—not gaining influence or recognition. God can bring healing from trauma and understanding the connection between spirit, soul, and body. Discernment begins by asking, "Lord, what are You saying?" before speaking. Spiritual warfare is real, but Jesus has complete authority over every power. Healing involves our relationship with God, our emotions, and our willingness to surrender. No failure, trauma, or loss is beyond God's power to redeem. Jesus is the only doorway to the Father, and lasting freedom is found in Him alone.

What does it mean to build a life that truly matters? In this episode of The Wider Lens, Dr. Kim sits down with Tom Pfeiffer, former Air Force JAG officer, attorney, coach, trainer, husband, and dad, to talk about the experiences and values that shaped him. From growing up in a blue-collar family on Long Island to playing college football, serving in the military, and eventually leaving a successful legal career to pursue a different calling, Tom shares lessons on work ethic, purpose, fatherhood, and taking risks. Along the way, they discuss the importance of showing up for your kids, the life lessons sports can teach, and why success on paper isn't always the same as fulfillment. This conversation will challenge you to think about the legacy you're building and the choices that matter most. Episode Highlights: Why the best lessons in life often happen outside the classroom The impact of a father who always showed up How to pursue purpose over prestige and redefine success Tune in for an honest conversation about work, family, calling, and what it means to live with intention. Quotes from Tom Pfeifer: "For me, it was a non-negotiable starting point. I'm just going to be there." "Now I have margin in my life. On a Tuesday afternoon, I can block my calendar and just hang out with my kids." "Everything you do has a cost." "Every yes, every extra commitment, every extra dinner—that's time you're taking away from something else." "Most kids just want somebody to say, 'I'm proud of you.'"  At what cost do you continue doing something that looks successful on paper but leaves a void inside?"  "When things are scarce in your life, you become hyper-focused on getting them."  "Your kids aren't going to remember how hard you worked. They're going to remember that you were there."    Time to Talk About it: What is one area of your life where you're pursuing success, and what might it be costing you in your relationships, faith, or personal well-being? When you think about the people who impacted you most growing up, what did they do that made you feel valued—and how can you offer that same gift to others today? If your children, family, or closest friends described the legacy you're building right now, what would they say matters most to you? Is that the legacy you want to leave?

David Hiler's answer to “What does it mean to be growth ready? ”is simple—and hard-earned: adapt to whatever comes your way.A lifelong runner and hospitality entrepreneur, David's life changed fast when a knee issue turned into cancer. Faced with two paths—an invasive rebuild with uncertain outcomes or amputation with a clear shot at living fully—he chose the decision that protected what mattered most: movement, presence, and the life he wanted to keep saying yes to.Then came the second wave: recovering during COVID while trying to keep multiple hospitality businesses alive. What followed wasn't just a comeback story. It was a full reset.In this conversation, David shares what it looked like to let go of the “more, bigger, next” mindset, selling the house, exiting the businesses, and trading a life of constant pressure for a life built around freedom, health, and daily happiness. Along the way, he talks candidly about the hard days too: the frustration, the self-consciousness, the work of journaling when you don't feel like it, and the discipline of choosing yourself before life forces the issue.About the Guest:David Hiler is a former hospitality operator who built and ran multiple businesses, including a restaurant and brewery, before stepping into a new chapter after losing his leg to cancer.Today, David works as a consultant for bed & breakfasts and country inns, while traveling full-time with his wife in an RV—building a life around movement, simplicity, and the places that make them feel most alive.He's also an advocate for accessible mobility through So Everybody Can Move, supporting efforts to improve insurance coverage for prosthetic options that help amputees live fully (including water legs, running blades, and sport-specific prosthetics).Connect with David:Instagram: @davidheilerAdvocacy:  https://soeverybodycanmove.orgSend us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...
