The Power of Teamwork in Achieving a Vision: "Both roles are as important as the other, because if the visionary has to do everything herself or himself, they're probably not going to make it happen." - Betty CollinsI'm so excited to bring you part one of our special Visionary Awards series, where we honor incredible women who have scaled their businesses and brought their visions to life. Today, I'm joined by two outstanding guests—Jill Frey, president and CEO of Cummins Facility Services, and Purba Majumder, an inspiring immigrant founder and CEO of Cybervation Inc., both of whom were finalists alongside me for the NAWBO Columbus Visionary Award.In this episode, we share our personal stories about what it really takes to scale a company, the winding journey of becoming a visionary, and why the people who support us along the way are just as important as the vision itself. We open up about our challenges, our proudest moments, and the vital roles of those who stand beside us—whether they're cheering us on, pouring into our growth, or simply helping us keep going.If you're a woman in business—whether you see yourself as a visionary or you're the one making things happen behind the scenes—there's something here for you. Join us for honest conversations, practical wisdom, and a big dose of inspiration from women who understand what it takes.

Steady, thoughtful scaling, supported by a strong team, is the sustainable path forward.Visionaries aren't alone: Whether you are the one with the big dream, or the one who supports that dream, both roles are vital.

In this episode, I cover a great question from someone in my community group The Visionaries - she asked about how to heal sexuality from a parts work perspective.I cover five different shadow parts that I see often in my work with people, along with a way to begin integrating on your own. However, I highly recommend working with a trusted professional as well within this topic of sexuality.We cover shame, promiscuity, withholding, performative parts, and numb/dissociated parts. These are so common, that I'm sure you will be able to relate to at least one, but probably more.Towards Sexual Sovereignty is a great companion article to this episode, as I mentioned.As always, please reach out with any questions or comments (or share them in the comment section below).

As Bruce Epperly regularly writes to the Speaker Mike Johnson , "Please consider what Jesus, not Trump, would do." Using this petition as a starting point, we talk with Epperly, who is a theologian, spiritual guide, pastor, professor, and prolific author, about Christianity and US politics today. Listen as he explains how conservative efforts to hold onto traditional theology & the "greatness" of the 1950s goes against the "divinely creative grain of the universe." Liberals are not spared, (nor are Conservatives written off--we are all still "one Church") in this conversation that seeks Christ in the midst of a binary political divide.Dr. Bruce Epperly is the author of over 60 books, including his latest, "The God of the Growing Edge: Whitehead and Thurman on Theology, Spirituality, and Social Change" & the recent "Homegrown Mystics: Restoring Our Nation with the Healing Wisdom of America's Visionaries." In addition to teaching, preaching, and writing, Epperly is also a leading thinker in Process Theology and Christian Mysticism (and as you can hear in the podcast, hundreds of other topics.) You can find out more about Bruce Epperly and his work at www.drbruceepperly.com. Find your guides at Quoir Academy! If you've ever deconstructed your faith you know it's not easy.

Welcome to a very special 200th episode! Kim is thrilled to be joined by Crista Grasso, founder of the Simplify to Scale and Lean Out Methods, for a conversation about leading and innovating in this year of massive change in the stars. Join them as they discuss strategies for scaling, how to tap into your intuition to take big leaps, and move with cosmic timing to build their businesses!Episode HighlightsCrista shares a personal story about launching her Strategic Ops Institute brand. Despite roadblocks and timing issues, her soul-driven decision catapulted her success, proving that ideas are only as powerful as the action behind them. The conversation highlights why structure, curation, and aligning with cosmic timing are crucial in a fast-changing business landscape.Inspiring Quotes"When you have your soul leading, you become rich and powerful. You make big impact. You leave your legacy. And that's what I'm all about.""Without the execution and making it real, it doesn't get very far—other than a little bit of excitement at the time of having it and then it just falls flat."Key Questions Answered1. How can astrology and soul alignment give entrepreneurs an edge in 2025?[4:43 - 9:18] Astrology reveals unique timing and energy patterns for the year ahead. Kim Woods explains that recognizing these cosmic windows (like Jupiter entering Cancer, or Pluto in Aquarius), and aligning business moves with these, allows entrepreneurs to synchronize action and intention. The practice sharpens intuition, clarifies priorities, and helps leaders step forward when opportunity knocks. 2. What keeps great ideas from becoming business breakthroughs?[2:53-5:21] Crista shares that ideas alone are "mildly interesting" unless coupled with structure and execution. The curation of opportunities—choosing which ideas to act on and supporting them with real plans—are what transform inspiration into income. The episode emphasizes that entrepreneurship is about making things tangible, not just dreaming big.3. What role does fear play in following your soul's mission?[14:49-15:48] According to Kim, living your soul mission often comes with fear and discomfort—if you're not a little scared, you may not be stretching far enough. Facing and moving through this fear is key; those willing to lean into uncertainty will ride the "power wave" of authentic success, especially in 2025's rapidly shifting landscape.Action Steps for Visionary RebelsLeverage Astrological Timing: Pay attention to cosmic shifts throughout the year—Jupiter in Cancer, Pluto in Aquarius—when making strategic plans.Curate Your Opportunities: Not every invitation serves your highest vision. Trim, select, and weave your choices for maximum impact and sustainability.Let Your Soul Lead: If you feel fear or resistance, you might just be on the right track. Trust your intuition—and act.Join the CommunityLoved this episode?

Do you ever sense that you're moving fast yet, somehow, standing still?  You're busy but you're not making progress in your important goals—finances, career, relationships, health, or happiness. On our latest Love University Podcast, we explored that turning-point moment when scattered effort condenses into laser focus, self-doubt thins out, and your boldest vision starts taking physical form. Here's what we learned: Direct Your Spirit Flow: Master the Energy Within Most of us leak power in a hundred ways—notifications, half-finished projects, stray worries. Energy diffused is energy diminished. When you choose one meaningful target and give it your undivided attention, everything changes: tasks line up, distractions fall away, and progress compounds. Think of sunlight: it's pleasant when spread across a porch, but astonishing when it's focused through a lens strong enough to weld steel. Your attention is that lens. Transform, Don't Erase, Yourself Real change isn't a demolition job; it's a patient revelation of what you have inside you. The great artist Michelangelo said the statue already lived inside the marble—his task was to remove what didn't belong. In the same way, your confidence, creativity, and resolve are already present. Strip away outdated labels, inherited fears, and second-hand expectations, and your genuine strengths stand in full power. Transformation is less about becoming someone new and more about allowing the best of you to step forward. Materialize Your Desires Through Perfect Conception Invention always begins as a clear imagination. Visionaries from Beyoncé to Whitney Wolfe Herd (founder of Bumble dating app) saw vivid mental movies of their future long before anyone else believed in them. They didn't wish vaguely for success; they rehearsed every detail until the outcome felt inevitable. When your picture of the future sharpens into a high definition, resources and opportunities organize themselves around that certainty. If you're ready to shift from hoping to happening, practice these four essential keys: Keep a Daily Time of Focus Reserve an uninterrupted slice of time—no alerts, no multitasking—to clear your mind and advance your most important objective. Meditate, think, journal, exercise, engage in a spiritual practice, plan your next step. It's true that momentum loves consistency. When you focus on what truly matters, your energy and motivation mutlipy. Eliminate the Nonessential Identify one commitment, habit, or belief that drains your energy without bringing you closer to your goal. Now, whatever it is, stop doing it; eliminate what is not moving you toward your dreams. Each distraction and nongoal you let go of gives you strength and encouragement to keep pushing for your true aims. Draft a Vision Script Write a one-page snapshot of your ideal day.  Imagine that you wake up to work that excites you, relationships that nourish you, and activities that energize you. Study your script and visualize your brilliant future—morning, noon, and night—until it feels real to you. It will be. Act in Alignment to Your Dream Take one step—however small—that matches your script: Send the proposal, enroll in the course, introduce yourself to a future collaborator or prospective soul mate. Action signals to the mind that your vision is underway. Remember, the life you want isn't waiting somewhere outside you; it's pressing from within, eager to emerge. When you direct your spirit flow, you hold a vivid vision that feels familiar, and you transform potential into power. Let today be the day that you close the gap between knowing and doing. Aim your attention like a beam, bring your authentic strengths to center stage, and watch the world rearrange itself around a picture you have created of your future. Above all, keep loving yourself, others, and a Higher Nature—when love fuels focus, the results are limitless.

Year 2023 marked 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv (Lwów/Lemberg). This richly illustrated book is a tribute to its place in the once-vibrant Jewish community of the city and in the society at large during the period 1903-1939. Visionaries from Lviv: The Story of a Jewish Hospital (Academic Studies Press, 2024) presents the hospital's history and its fascinating architecture, its doctors, and its founder, a prominent local Jewish philanthropist Maurycy Lazarus, with the background of the Jewish life in Lviv. The volume also details the history of medicine and medical education in Habsburg Galicia prior to the hospital's founding, Jewish access to the medical profession, and the impact of Jewish doctors on the path to modernity. It also shows the struggle of women to become doctors. A moving and timely book with contributions from leading historians, scholars, and medical professionals, Visionaries from Lviv is an ode to the once thriving Jewish community in Lviv and a testament to how one person's dream and commitment can impact the lives of so many. This publication was made possible with support from Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund and Gesher Galicia. Learn more about your ad choices.
