In this deeply reflective episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan welcomes Tracy Smith, author of The Purpose Was in Getting Lost. Tracy opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected and directionless to finding self-belonging and purpose through vulnerability, travel, and self-trust. She shares how the quiet ache of being “lost” became the very invitation to rediscover her authentic self — not through reinvention, but by saying yes to herself for the first time. About the Guest: Tracy Smith is a writer, traveler, and mother based in Washington, D.C. Her memoir explores how losing herself — both literally and emotionally — led to powerful transformation. Through stories of courage, midlife exploration, and self-compassion, Tracy helps others see “lost” not as failure, but as freedom. Key Takeaways: Getting lost can be the path back to yourself. Reinvention isn't about becoming someone new — it's about reclaiming who you've always been. Saying yes to yourself, even in small ways, is radical self-love. Travel and solitude can be powerful mirrors for inner healing. Connect with Tracy Smith: Instagram | Website | Author Page  — Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"That injury was one of the most psychologically harrowing experiences of my career, just figuring out how to navigate that space, how to eventually see it as a superpower … if I hadn't gotten that injury, I wouldn't have been able to rebuild my body in a way that allowed me to come back a completely different athlete. I think because of all the work I had to do in the gym to address things I had never addressed my entire career, coming off of that gave me longevity."   Elite runner Laura Thweatt had a lengthy career at the top level of the sport—while running for Saucony for more than a decade, the 2:25 marathoner finished fifth in the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials, earned three US cross country titles, and made five US teams.   But she also had many injuries, including osteitis pubis, a painful inflammation in the joint between the pubic bones. Recovery was long and difficult, but ultimately remade her as an athlete. That journey—along with other setbacks she's faced—taught her about standing up for herself, adjusting training to her needs, and practicing patience in the process.   Now, she's retired and embarking on the next phase of her career, coaching other pro runners (including New York City Marathon champion Hellen Obiri) with the On Athletics Club in Boulder. Her experiences give her credibility and competence with her athletes, helping her create a space for them to navigate injury and thrive. Looking back, she's grateful for all she went through, knowing that it brought her to a place where she can still play an important role in the sport and its future.   Resources/links: Laura's Instagram Why Do I Keep Getting Injured?

The ability to articulate your thoughts clearly is not just a leadership skill, it's a life skill. In this solo episode, Janet explores why so many intelligent and capable people struggle to be heard, even when they have powerful ideas and deep experience. If you've ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “That's not what I meant,” this episode will resonate deeply.Janet unpacks how clarity is shaped not only by language, but by presence, emotional regulation, and self-trust. In a world of constant noise, rushed meetings, and fragmented attention, learning to communicate with intention can radically change how you're perceived and how you move through life with confidence, credibility, and impact.In this episode:✅ Why clear articulation is a critical but underestimated leadership skill✅ How rambling and overexplaining quietly dilute credibility✅ What neuroscience reveals about clarity and attention✅ The inner roots of effective communication and presence✅ Why knowing your point matters more than knowing your topic✅ Practical strategies to speak with greater impact and confidence✅ How emotional regulation directly affects communication clarity✅ A simple clarity practice to prepare for high-stakes conversationsAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

When external success no longer matches inner truth, something begins to shift. Nichole Bigley welcomes Craig Siegel — entrepreneur, coach, author, and former Wall Street professional — for an honest exploration of reinvention and purpose. Craig reflects on the moment he realized that achievement alone wasn't fulfilling, and how personal development, spirituality, and intuition gradually guided him toward a more aligned path. Rather than a dramatic breaking point, Craig describes a quieter unraveling — a growing awareness that the life you've built no longer reflects who you're becoming. Through stillness, reflection, and a willingness to be honest with yourself, your definition of success can begin to change. This exchange invites you to pause, create space, and consider what alignment looks like now — not as a destination, but as an ongoing relationship with truth. You'll hear reflections on: Intuition as an accessible form of inner guidance. Redefining success beyond ego, validation, and external metrics. Reinvention as evolution rather than failure. The role of stillness in gaining clarity and direction. Identity shifts and the courage to outgrow old roles. Why the cost of staying misaligned can outweigh the fear of change. This episode will resonate if you're sensing that your next chapter is calling — even if you don't yet know what it looks like.

The strategy feels tired. The urge to change everything kicks in.But here's the truth most people don't want to hear:Your business probably isn't broken. Your focus is.In this episode, Melissa breaks down why “new year, new you” energy is one of the most dangerous mindsets in business, and how it pulls leaders away from the very work that actually drives revenue and stability.Instead of doing the boring, proven, money-making activities, January often becomes a month of distraction:Reworking offers that are already profitableChasing new marketing strategies instead of fixing conversionHiring too soon to relieve pressureOvercomplicating strategy instead of executing consistentlyMelissa walks through the most common distractions she sees business owners fall into at the start of the year, and what strong operators focus on instead.You'll learn:Why reinvention is often a signal of discomfort, not strategyThe difference between emotional fatigue and operational problemsWhat to audit before you change your offers, marketing, or teamHow to refocus on the unsexy work that actually moves the business forwardWhat disciplined execution really looks like in Q1If you're feeling the urge to shake everything up right now, this episode will help you slow down, get grounded, and make decisions from data, not January energy.Because growth doesn't come from starting over.It comes from focusing on what already works and doing it better. We have a new way to connect to other business owners and get timely hot takes on current events and business trends.

In this episode Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Caroline Stokes, leadership strategist, Fifth Industrial Revolution, for a grounded conversation about intentional learning, emotional intelligence, and navigating change at work with clarity. They explore how emotional intelligence can quietly influence your career, both positively and negatively, especially during moments of uncertainty or transition. Caroline introduces the four common responses to workplace shifts: flight, freeze, fight, and fawn, and explains why understanding your default reaction is key to moving forward with intention instead of operating on autopilot. Once you know where you are, you can begin to choose a mindset that supports growth rather than stress or stagnation. The conversation also dives into thinking ahead in your career, learning with purpose, and handling disruption without losing momentum. Drawing from her books Elephants Before Unicorns and Aftershock, Caroline shares practical insights for leaders who want to respond thoughtfully to change instead of reacting out of fear. This episode is for anyone facing shifts at work and looking to lead themselves, and their careers, with greater awareness and intention.

Reinvention isn't about becoming someone new — it's about releasing the version of you that no longer fits. This episode explores the tools that actually support reinvention; not resolutions or goal lists, but the subtle, everyday shifts that change how you think, act, and show up in your life. We're talking about identity, habits, environment, and style — and how these elements quietly shape your confidence, energy, and direction. We explore the invisible choices that quietly shape your confidence, your energy, and your results; from what you tolerate, to how you dress, to whether your daily habits support the life you say you want. Inside the episode, we unpack: The mindset shift that changes your results faster than goal-setting ever will A simple way to tell if your daily actions actually match the future you want How your clothing influences confidence, focus, and personal power (often without you realizing it) Why consistency — not intensity — is what creates lasting transformation The role your environment plays in either reinforcing your old identity or supporting your next one Why growth always feels uncomfortable, awkward, or "cringe" before it feels aligned How learning, curiosity, and expansion are essential to feeling alive again If you've been craving a fresh chapter — not a dramatic overhaul, but a deeper alignment with who you're becoming — this episode will help you rethink reinvention and begin from a more powerful place.

Staffing entrepreneur Bill Kasko joins me to unpack what it actually takes to survive—and adapt—through decades of economic shocks, technology shifts, and human volatility.Most business stories compress time and smooth the edges. This one doesn't. Bill and I walk through his 21-year journey building Frontline Source Group across recessions, oil crashes, collapsing hiring markets, pandemic shutdowns, and now AI-driven disruption. From the early days of gratitude-driven work to the bitterness of 2008, from physical offices and gas-price friction to video interviews and remote work, this episode traces how survival depends less on foresight—and more on the ability to pivot without losing your core.We talk about why “vision” is overrated without execution, how every crisis quietly trains you for the next one, and why technological change today moves in minutes—not years. Bill shares hard-earned lessons on empathy, honesty, and when to say no, even when it costs money. The thread running through it all: businesses don't fail because things change—they fail because leaders refuse to adapt fast enough.This isn't a growth story. It's a durability story.TL;DR* You only truly “start over” once—experience compounds even after failure* Gratitude fades; resilience must replace validation* Technology shifts now happen in minutes, not years* Vision is easy—execution from where you are is the real work* Low adaptability, not bad luck, kills businesses* Remote work, automation, and AI reward speed—not certainty* Empathy scales better than ego in volatile systemsMemorable Lines* “Vision is easy—getting from here to there is what nobody talks about.”* “Every crisis trains you for the next one, whether you want it to or not.”* “Technology didn't kill businesses—refusal to adapt did.”* “You don't start over empty-handed; you start over with scar tissue.”* “AI can answer questions—but it can't replace empathy.”GuestBill Kasko — Founder & CEO, Frontline Source Group Staffing and executive search entrepreneur with over two decades navigating recessions, workforce revolutions, and technological disruption.Why This MattersThe modern business environment doesn't offer long plateaus—it delivers repeated shocks. Recessions, pandemics, automation, and shifting labor power structures are no longer anomalies; they're the operating system.For founders, operators, and executives rebuilding after disruption, this episode reframes survival not as toughness—but as adaptability with integrity. The future doesn't belong to the most confident leaders. It belongs to those who can absorb impact, adjust quickly, and keep the human core intact while everything else changes.Reinvention isn't optional anymore. It's the job. This is a public episode.

Entrepreneur and sales strategist Doug Brown joins me to unpack what really happens when success collapses—and why the ability to rebuild matters more than avoiding failure.Most business conversations glamorize wins and sanitize losses. This episode does neither. Doug Brown and I walk through the uncomfortable reality of losing millions, starting over with almost nothing, and repeatedly reinventing yourself when the old path no longer works. From early failures in telecom and software to rebuilding after financial wipeouts, Doug shares what persistence actually looks like beyond motivational slogans.We explore why “safe careers” are an illusion, how low burn rates create optionality, and why scrimping alone won't build a meaningful life. This is a candid conversation about volatility, personal identity, money, family, regret, and why wisdom often comes from getting knocked down—then learning how to get up faster the next time.The lesson isn't masochism or chaos. It's designing a life and business resilient enough to absorb hits without losing yourself in the process.TL;DR* Reinvention isn't a phase—it's a permanent skill in modern life.* Failure isn't the problem; slow recovery time is.* Low burn rates create flexibility and asymmetric upside.* “Safe” careers can disappear faster than risky ones.* Wealth without alignment creates loneliness, not freedom.* Cash flow matters more than cash hoarding.* Regret comes more from inaction than from failed attempts.Memorable Lines* “It's not the setback—it's how fast you recover.”* “Live modestly so your life becomes a call option.”* “Money lets you arrive at your problems in style.”* “You only have to get it right once to set yourself free.”* “All the chips get pushed back to the middle eventually.”GuestDoug Brown — Entrepreneur, sales strategist, and founder of CEO Sales StrategiesFormer president of Tony Robbins' companies, advisor to global organizations, and veteran of 37 businesses across multiple industries.

What happens when an empty nest meets curiosity, creativity, and a box of puzzle pieces? In this episode, Agnes speaks with Monica about how puzzling became a powerful way to navigate retirement, deepen partnership, and build joyful community — one piece at a time.

Seth Schachner covers the latest on Netflix's (NFLX) bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) as Paramount Skydance (PSKY) stays “incredibly aggressive” in its acquisition attempts. He thinks Netflix will ultimately win out, and he's come around on the idea of their “reinvention.” Seth talks about how entertainment has broadened out, with social media or YouTube stars warring for attention with traditional Hollywood. A “real consideration” is job losses and less places to produce work, he adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Mindset is not about positive thinking — it is about courageous reflection, honest reframing, and intentional reinvention. Simon Calderbank is the founder of Big Knows and a leadership mindset coach dedicated to helping women reflect, reframe, and reinvent their mindset for lasting personal and professional growth. Raised in a strong matriarchal household by his mum, auntie, and sister, Simon developed deep empathy and a coaching style that is both compassionate and challenging. Following a personal health scare in 2015, he shifted from business development into mindset and leadership coaching, supporting hundreds of women leaders and earning recognition on the Northern Women's Power Inaugural Advocacy List for advancing gender equality. In this episode, Simon shares his Re3 framework — Reflection, Reframe, and Reinvention — and explains why real transformation requires being comfortable with discomfort, questioning inner narratives, and taking intentional action.   What you will learn from this episode: How to reinvent your mindset without abandoning who you are or conforming to leadership models that were never built for you. Why career breaks, motherhood, and life transitions do not erode capability — and how internal narratives, not skill loss, hold women back. How affirmations and self-talk directly shape confidence, decision-making, and performance — and how to use them intentionally instead of unconsciously.   Topics Covered: 00:10 - Growth requires being comfortable with discomfort. 06:22 - Reflection as the starting point for mindset change. 08:57 - Reframing past experiences to unlock new perspectives. 12:18 - How self-doubt and imposter syndrome take hold — and how to release them. 15:49 - Navigating gender dynamics in male-dominated workplaces. 21:38 - Asking the hard question: "Why am I not heard?" 24:35 - Using mantras and affirmations to reshape inner dialogue. 27:30 - A hybrid coaching perspective shaped by male and female lenses.   Key Takeaways: "You've got to be comfortable being uncomfortable if you want to become unstuck." — Simon Calderbank "Reframing doesn't change the past — it changes how you see it." — Simon Calderbank "Women often block their own capability after life changes, even when nothing was lost." — Simon Calderbank   Ways to Connect with Simon Calderbank: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simoncalderbank/ Upcoming 5-Day Challenge: Women Who Lead: Barriers to Breakthroughs https://mindset.big-knows.co.uk/challenge-registration-page   Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc kick off this episode with a sharp breakdown of the retail news that mattered this past week. AI dominates the conversation—not as hype, but as a clear shift from experimentation to real-world implementation. Steve shares observations from the show floor, noting how retailers are racing to modernize product data, digital infrastructure, and site experiences to better capture the growing wave of AI-driven and agent-led shopping traffic.The conversation then turns to one of the most consequential stories in retail: the Saks Global bankruptcy. Steve provides deep context on the failed Saks–Neiman Marcus merger, the leadership shake-up, Amazon's unexpected equity exposure, and the cascading impact on vendors—particularly smaller brands that may never be made whole.

Each channel plays a distinct role, from immersive storytelling in owned stores to trust-building through reviews and scale on marketplaces. The discussion also explores leadership in the AI era, with Jessica emphasizing resilience, curiosity, and the importance of using AI as a tool to elevate human work—not replace it.In the closing segments, the hosts revisits new details emerging from the Saks Global bankruptcy, and share what's on their radar screen, exploring labor market signals and leadership changes at Kendra Scott, the fast-growing jewelry brand.

WWE superstar Daria Berenato aka Sonya Deville joins Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast for a high-performance conversation that hits real estate, entrepreneurship, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and UFC mindset all in one episode. From being a scrappy multi-sport kid from South Jersey to stepping into combat sports when women weren't welcomed on the mats, Daria shares how "being different" became her superpower—and how that same mentality helped her build a life beyond the ring. You'll hear the real story behind her journey from MMA + BJJ to being selected Top 13 out of 11,000 on WWE Tough Enough, and what it takes to perform under pressure, stay disciplined, and keep showing up when motivation disappears. But this isn't just a wrestling interview—Daria gets into the money too. She breaks down her real estate investing journey (rentals, appreciation, short-term rentals, buy/renovate/rent), the lessons she learned the hard way on her first flip, and why so many athletes and entertainers are turning to real estate for financial freedom and "life after the spotlight." The theme is simple: whether you're building a portfolio, training for a fight, or reinventing your brand… it's all the same fundamentals—goals, community, resilience, and the ability to pivot.
