Podcasts about redefining success

In today's episode, Candace shares a tender reminder about redefining success and satisfaction in our lives:✨ Why true satisfaction comes from impact, not accolades

Have you ever had an experience that changed the way you show up in the world? One that reignited your passion and reminded you why you care so deeply? Today I return from a 19-day summer break after volunteering at Camp Footprint, a sleepaway camp for kids living with CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth Disease). I served on the programming staff and rediscovered “Little Marc,” the playful, present version of myself who still believes in the power of community. This experience reminded me that podcasting isn't only about numbers or downloads...it's about people. The kids at camp showed me what it means to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. What I brought home from camp wasn't a gear review or new tech tip,it was candy runs, laughter, and a reminder that play builds community. And that's exactly the spirit I want to bring back to this show.Episode Highlights: [01:26] Introducing the Team and Camp Footprint[04:43] Song Swap Showdown Announcement[14:45] Impact of Camp Footprint on Me[22:57] Reconnecting with Little Marc[27:56] Handling Unexpected Challenges[29:20] The True Meaning of Community in Podcasting[32:20] Incorporating Playfulness into Work[45:45] Redefining Success in Podcasting[55:00] Centering People Over MetricsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comSong Swap Showdown: www.songswapshowdown.comEpisode Cover Photo taken by:https://cieriphotography.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with actress, producer, and entrepreneur Tika Sumpter for a candid conversation on redefining beauty, navigating motherhood, and a first look at building her new brand, Yummy Tummy. Known for her powerful presence on screen, Tika opens up about her creative journey beyond Hollywood and the drive that pushed her into wellness and entrepreneurship.Tika shares how her upbringing shaped her ideas of beauty and confidence, grounding her in authenticity rather than Hollywood's narrow ideals. She reflects on how social media often presents only the “highlight reel,” reminding us that true beauty is rooted in health, self-acceptance, and evolution rather than perfection.Motherhood also plays a central role in Tika's story. After her own challenges with preeclampsia and postpartum recovery, she recognized how little grace women often give themselves during this transformative period. That realization inspired Yummy Tummy, a line of multi-use, plant-based products designed to simplify care for both mom and baby—offering support, healing, and confidence in the most tender moments of life.But building a brand isn't glamorous. Tika pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes realities—compliance, packaging, marketing—and the resilience it takes to bring a meaningful product into the world. Her honesty highlights both the challenges and the rewards of creating something that truly matters.This is more than a beauty conversation—it's about self-rediscovery, empowerment, and rewriting the narrative of what it means to care for ourselves and our families.Tune in to hear Tika's journey and the vision behind Yummy Tummy.To learn more about Tika Sumpter visit her website and social media.

Here's the truth: “Getting paid to be you” has been sold to us like it's the holy grail of freedom. But here's the part no one tells you—it can just as easily become another performance trap. Another hustle. Another way of proving instead of actually living.In this episode, I'm walking you through the alchemy of dethroning this shiny mantra and what it really takes to feel free in your work and your life. Spoiler: it's not more courses, more clients, more followers, or another spiritual playbook for success.We're getting into:Why chasing more never gets you where you think it will.How my business went from defining me… to simply being what I do.The subtle but powerful difference between branding yourself and becoming yourself.The dance between survival mode, choice points, and actual maturity.And yes—a story about Benji, pasta, parmesan, and salt (because you know I can't leave out the messy, human parts).If you've been trying to “make it work” by being more visible, more polished, more everything… this one's for you. Because the alchemical approach to getting paid to be you isn't about performing harder. It's about slowing down, purifying what's in the way, and finally becoming the version of you who can walk through the right doors.Listen with your body, not just your mind. Something new wants to move through you.Send us a message and let us know what you love about this episodeImportant Links: www.Megthompson.com Attuned - CLICK HERE Let's Connect on Instagram - CLICK HERE

In this episode, I sit down with Sid Mohasseb, entrepreneur, investor, educator, and global thought leader known as The Entrepreneur Philosopher. Sid's journey is unlike any other—from treating his own hemophilia as a child to building and exiting companies, mentoring future leaders, and teaching philosophy and innovation at top universities. We explore how failure can become a gateway to freedom, why value isn't what you think it is, and how to align your business with the kind of life you actually want to live.This isn't a conversation about hacks. It's a conversation about becoming. Connect with Sid: http://AnabasisAcademy.org http://mohasseb.com Connect With Us:

In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla sits down with Ebonie Allard—Artist, Entrepreneur, Human Design & Gene Keys Guide, and podcast host—for a deeply vulnerable and illuminating conversation about self-intimacy, devotion, and redefining success on your own terms. Ebonie shares how years of scaling her business, managing team turnover, and chasing the next level left her exhausted and questioning her path. Her transformation began when she turned inward, confronting her core wound of half-heartedness (Gene Key 29) and softening into a new way of leading—one rooted in self-love, presence, and invisible impact. Together, they explore how the turbulence of entrepreneurship can reveal where we've been rejecting ourselves, why intimacy with self is the ultimate foundation for sustainable success, and how Ebonie's “45 Soft” practice became a devotional antidote to hustle culture. Listeners will hear how Ebonie now supports culture-makers and visionaries to embrace softness, align with their natural rhythms, and create ripples of impact without burning out.

We all know that one guy who is tough, resilient, loves a fight, and can make things happen, even when he's behind. I think, in a way, we all want to be that guy. I'm convinced that a man who is scrappy is a man who can achieve everything he wants in this world – even if it first seems out of reach. My guest today, Pete Roberts, agrees. And, he knows a thing or two about the resourcefulness and scrappiness it takes to revive an American tradition – manufacturing. You know him as the founder of Origin and Jocko Fuel. Today, we talk about the power of purpose, how and why a man needs to define success, regular people building irregular things, what he looks for in people to hire and promote to leadership in his organization, and making yourself capable of carrying burdens.

When your identity fuses with what you produce, burnout is inevitable. This episode helps high-capacity humans recalibrate from performance to presence — before their purpose gets buried under pressure.If the results stopped, would you still know who you are?For high performers, that question feels risky. Because somewhere along the way, “doing well” became the same as “being worthy.”In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, we're exploring what happens when performance starts shaping identity — and how that slow slide leads to invisible burnout, fractured self-trust, and quiet resentment.Here's what we unpack together:Why success often deepens the approval trapThe subtle difference between identity-fused performance and healthy excellenceHow “helpfulness” and “achievement” become self-protectionWhy burnout is often a symptom of disconnection, not overworkWhat to learn from Anne Morriss' recalibration after public failureWhy celebration is more than a feel-good tool — it's a psychological exit ramp from overidentification (See Episode 38)How to spot identity foreclosure — and where we covered it previouslyIf you've built a life on results, this conversation will feel both tender and clarifying. Because you're not your wins. And when your identity is secure, your leadership becomes sustainable.Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself: If this project fell apart — would I still know who I am?Let it lead to a deeper recalibration: What do I want to be true about me that isn't tied to output?For leaders:Think of someone you lead who's quietly attaching their worth to performance.Affirm who they are becoming — not just what they produce.That's how we build cultures of identity, not burnout.Need help seeing what you've outgrown?Download the Misalignment Audit in the show notes.The offer?

What happens when you stop performing and start showing up as your whole self? There's a point in every high-capacity human's journey when performance no longer feels like power—it feels like pressure.

This episode shows how external validation can quietly erode identity — and what it takes to break free.What happens when the version of you that people applaud is the very version you're outgrowing?In this powerful opening to Week 10, Julie Holly names a quiet trap many high-capacity humans fall into: approval as identity.

My guest for Episode #322 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Rob Dorgan, a multi-talented professional whose career path has taken him from paralegal to college professor, retail store owner, manufacturing company president, and now licensed massage therapist, certified yoga educator, meditation teacher, and astrologer. Rob is also the author of Awakening the Mystic: A Novel of Cosmic Love and Healing. Episode page with video and more His favorite mistake? Taking what was meant to be a short trip to Europe while working on his PhD — a journey that led him to never return to that academic track. Instead, it opened his eyes to a different pace of life, sparked a reassessment of what success meant to him, and ultimately set him on a more balanced and meaningful career path. In our conversation, Rob shares how that decision — which family and friends initially questioned — allowed him to escape burnout and embrace a life and career that integrates his passions for teaching, creativity, and well-being. He reflects on lessons learned from his “type A” years in academia and business, the importance of slowing down, and how yoga, meditation, and practical stress relief can improve both personal health and workplace culture. We also discuss his experience bringing these tools into corporate environments, where employees not only benefit individually but also feel more supported by their organizations. “Stress comes on so slowly that it becomes your normal — and you forget what life without it feels like.” That realization, Rob says, is what helped him see the deeper value of meditation and mindful living. We also talk about his book's concepts — from the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy to the idea of an “inner council” — and how self-awareness can help us navigate life's choices. Whether you're navigating a career change, seeking better work-life balance, or simply curious about practical ways to reduce stress, Rob's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? How did your trip to Europe during your PhD studies change your career path? Did you consider moving to Europe to teach in that more relaxed environment? What countries did you visit on that trip? How did you go from teaching to starting a retail store and then leading a manufacturing company? Did yoga and meditation help you become a better leader? How did your personal stress experiences influence how you led the company? How have attitudes toward workplace stress changed since the 1990s? How do you make meditation and stress relief practical for corporate settings? How do companies usually find and bring you in for corporate sessions? What types of people attend your retreats, and what do they take away? How did you personally discover the benefits of a consistent yoga practice? How can yoga and meditation help with stress-related physical issues? What are the “five kleshas” in yoga philosophy? How do those concepts connect to ego, attachment, and fear? What is the “inner council” in your book, and how does it work? How did your interest in astrology begin? How can knowing your “council leader” help you in life and work? How did you balance the drive to finish your book with avoiding stress? What's your advice for building habits like meditation or yoga into daily life?

What happens when a veteran mountain climber with hemophilia returns to mountaineering after a six-year layoff? In 2018, Chris Bombardier became the first hemophiliac to climb the Seven Summits, including Mt. Everest. In 2024, Chris leads a group of climbers with bleeding disorders on a daring attempt to summit Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the French Alps. But is being older and wiser necessarily better? In Season 4 of The Final Summit, Chris and his guests re-tell his entire life story from a new perspective. They'll talk about finding your path, defining yourself as a role model and a leader, what it means to be a success, and how to change your definition of success.    This episode is brought to you by Genentech.

In this Mentor Moment, Gary Fox speaks with Sahil Bloom — investor, writer, and creator — about how his definition of success has transformed. Once focused purely on financial outcomes, Sahil now measures success through time, people, purpose, and health, seeing money as a natural byproduct rather than the goal. He also shares a refreshing take on imposter syndrome, reframing it as a sign of growth and a tax on personal progress, and explains why asking “Why not me?” is the mindset shift every founder needs when stepping into bigger rooms. This is a short but powerful conversation packed with perspective shifts to help you redefine success on your own terms.

Did you know that 70% of employee engagement variation is driven by manager behavior? Join Dr. mOe Anderson and career strategist Julia Rock as they explore the intricacies of workplace dynamics, from tackling disengagement and 'pass-along syndrome' to redefining personal success and establishing boundaries." Memorable Quotes from Julia Rock: "It's really about what I want right now and what does success look like to me today." "Giving yourself permission to say, hey, I'm a different person now, so it's okay that my view of success isn't the same as it used to be." Key Points: Workplace Disengagement vs. Burnout: Understanding the difference between disengagement and burnout is crucial. Disengagement often arises from misalignment with personal goals and values, while burnout is more about exhaustion from overwork. Pass-Along Syndrome: This phenomenon occurs when leaders offload tasks without proper vetting, leading to burnout among high performers and women of color. Strategies to manage this include creating a dialogue around priorities and setting boundaries. Redefining Success: Success should align with current life goals and values. Detaching personal identity from career achievements allows individuals to pursue a more meaningful life purpose. Importance of Appreciation: A simple "thank you" can significantly boost workplace morale. Middle managers should prioritize appreciation to maintain employee engagement and retention.

In this episode, I sat down with someone who's built a wildly successful brand by doing things on her own terms, Jamie Thurber.Jamie is a business and lifestyle coach who's known for cutting through the noise with her no-BS approach to execution, energy management, and alignment. She's been helping entrepreneurs and high performers redefine what success looks like, not based on hustle and burnout, but on clarity, intention, and doing what actually works.We talked about what it means to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Jamie shares how she built her personal brand around radical transparency, how she helps clients break through cycles of overwhelm, and how to make real progress by focusing on aligned action, not busy work.Her content is real, her results are proven, and her message is needed now more than ever. Whether you're building an agency, growing a coaching brand, or just trying to get more done without burning out, Jamie drops insight after insight in this conversation.This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to simplify, realign, and get brutally honest about what's actually moving the needle in your business and life.About Jamie ThurberHi, I'm Jamie! I've worked very hard to create a life on my own terms over the years and it's truly my pleasure to share it with you. So, a little about me? I'm an avid writer; journaling is literally my secret weapon for changing and creating everything I have. I'm extremely passionate about sharing my stories and experiences with people in order to show them that they are not alone in their journey as well as shine some light on a different perspective. Most of my life I've always been an anomaly. Nothing about me makes sense according to “industry standards” and I used to let that dim my light but over the years I've realized that it's actually my superpower. All of the random things about us that don't make sense to close minded people is actually what makes us so damn amazing in the first place, so I enjoy sharing those messages in order to banish as many stereotypes as I can and bust through some glass ceilings in the process.I've been managing businesses for over 18 years and have a knack for creating massive productivity within a company by making small daily tweaks. I've taken that skill along with my love for mindset and now use them to help people not only change their businesses but also their whole lives. I believe in the power of intentional living and live by the fact that every area of your life is connected because I've used it to change my own life in more ways than I thought possible.I am also obsessed with my three amazing pups, my badass Jeep Wrangler, gardening, and taking as many adventures as I can. You see, I never knew this life was actually possible, but I promise you if you're committed to creating it, you can mold your reality to fit that vision in your mind.Connect with JamieIG: https://www.instagram.com/jamie.thurber/FB: https://www.facebook.com/jamiethurberYT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTvov2G_tH74yO2iJnuWpcA

Episode SummaryJulie Ryder is a UK-based inclusion consultant and founder of an award-winning training business that helps organisations better support deaf employees and customers. In this episode, Julie shares her deeply personal journey of becoming profoundly deaf in her twenties, losing the career she had worked so hard for, and building a new path with purpose. From lip-reading lessons to launching a national consultancy, Julie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and using lived experience to create change.Key Takeaways:What it feels like to acquire hearing loss mid-careerHow to rebuild identity and confidence after becoming profoundly deafWhy inclusion and accessibility are essential workplace toolsHow Julie launched a national consultancy with just one flyer and a kitchen shelfThe three ingredients that help anyone move forward after a major life shiftMeet Julie RyderJulie Ryder is the founder of a UK-based workplace training consultancy that specialises in deaf awareness and inclusive communication. After becoming profoundly deaf as a young adult, she transitioned out of her career in banking and built one of the UK's most respected deaf awareness training businesses. Julie has trained thousands of professionals across sectors, with clients including the BBC, Royal Mail, and the Houses of Parliament.Meet JulieHow She PivotedJulie Ryder began her career in banking with a clear plan for advancement. But when she became profoundly deaf in her twenties, her world shifted completely. Over several years, her hearing declined so dramatically that even basic communication at work became a challenge. She was moved to lower-level roles, sent farther from home, and eventually left the field altogether, grieving the career and identity she had worked so hard to build.“What was left then was the shell of me, just starting out with a new identity as a newly-deafened person,” shared Julie Ryder on episode 29 of the Rhonda Coleman Wandel podcast.Her turning point came when she volunteered to deliver a deaf awareness training session during a rehabilitation program. That small act sparked something bigger. With a single flyer and a borrowed computer on a kitchen shelf, Julie began offering training in her community. Two decades later, her consultancy is one of the most respected in the UK.Insights for Ambitious WomenJulie's journey is a powerful reminder that we are allowed to begin again—and that adapting to a major life change does not mean giving up ambition.

Her message is clear: when life shifts direction, you're allowed to shift with it and you can still build something extraordinary.Want More Like This?Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favourite platform so you never miss an episode.

Claire Brown and Gayatri Agnew get real about slowing down in a hustle-obsessed world, letting go of the need for approval, and embracing life's gear shifts—whether brought on by bifocals, concussions, or tornadoes.

Play. Stillness. Curiosity. When did you stop giving yourself that permission? You're going through the motions in a life you once dreamed of—and wondering when that dream stopped being yours. In this episode—the next in Kris's series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate—she invites you to consider the one most of us avoid: curiosity, play, and exploration. This isn't a conversation about productivity or purpose. It's about what happens when you finally lift your head, look around, and realize: the version of you running the show today isn't the woman you were 20 years ago. So why are you still living like she's in charge? Kris shares stories from two recent retreats—including the meditations, discomfort, and unexpected conversations that shook something loose. And she poses a question that might just be your wake-up call: What if it doesn't matter which path you choose next—only that it brings you joy? Here's what we explore: Why women who “have it all” still feel restless The comfort cage—and how it tricks you into staying stuck How exploration opens doors clarity alone never could Why you owe it to yourself (and your future) to get uncomfortable The identity shift that comes from doing something—anything—new You can't find what's next wearing the coat of who you used to be. So try something on. See how it fits. And don't be surprised if it changes everything. Contact Information and Recommended Resources The best way to stay in the know? Get on the list.

Titles, accolades, and financial milestones often measure success. But for Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, CEO of Lush Enterprises, LLC, success is about transformation - financial, emotional, and generational. Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless talks with Sun Yong about how she's built a career helping others break free from survival mode and step into true financial independence. Even in her dream job, with the title and passion she'd worked hard to earn, her paycheck fell short of the life she envisioned. That eye-opening moment led her to redefine success, not just loving her work, but building real financial impact through strategy and growth. Her quest for freedom sparked a bold pivot into options trading, where education, consistent practice, and calculated risks became the foundation of her success. Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini is the CEO and founder of Lush Enterprises, LLC. She is also an author and educator focused on financial success, particularly options trading.  She also authored "Invest In Yourself" and co-authored "Opposite/Opposites".  Sweet but Fearless does not provide financial advice; listeners should always do their own research before making investment decisions.

Today, I interview John Briggs, who once believed that working harder and earning more was the ultimate measure of success, until the cost of that belief showed up at home.He grew up as the youngest in a religious family, often singled out and bullied in his childhood. Making himself small felt like the only way to stay safe. Even in the workplace years later, that pattern repeated. His voice silenced under systems that rewarded overwork and discouraged questioning the norm.The breakthrough came late one night, when John walked into his house at 2 a.m. and was met not with silence, but with his pregnant wife in tears. She told him she felt like a single parent. That moment shattered his assumptions about success and forced him to reflect on what he was really building, and who he was building it for.Since then, John has taken real steps to change not just how he works, but how he lives. He's created a new standard, one that honors presence, productivity, and the people who matter most. Today, he teaches others how to step out of the hustle and into a more harmonized way of working, where you don't lose yourself in the process.__________________John Briggs is widely recognized for his innovative approach to productivity and work-life harmony, encapsulated in his book The 3.3 Rule: The New Workday Standard of Creating More by Working Less.

In this fourth installment of the Seven Transitions Every Successful Woman Must Navigate series, Kris explores the fog that can settle in after years of striving, building, leading, and achieving. When the urgency fades, when the goals have been met, when your days are no longer dictated by survival or ambition... who are you now? This is the striver's dilemma. In this episode, Kris shares reflections from two recent retreats—one with Arthur Brooks, one with Rebecca Campbell—that offered wildly different but equally profound insights. She weaves together data, mysticism, and lived experience to guide you through the discomfort (and deep potential) of Transition Four: Reclaiming Future Clarity. You'll hear: Why dreaming after success feels murky, not magical How the absence of urgency can feel disorienting instead of freeing The one question to ask before launching into your next project or business Why the next version of you won't be found in a revenue dashboard or your to-do list If you're standing in the in-between—done with what was, unsure of what's next—this episode will meet you there. Not with answers, but with the kind of questions that can change everything. Contact Information and Recommended Resources The best way to stay in the know? Get on the list.
