Anyone who has lost a loved one as a result of substance abuse knows that society treats this loss differently than a death from any other cause. Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP) was created to offer understanding, compassion, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. Too many times, they suffer not only the death of the person they love but also become isolated in their grief. Today’s guest is Kathy Posey, who lost her own son, Josh, to substance addiction at the tender age of 23. In this episode, Kathy speaks candidly about her experience, her son’s struggle with addiction, and his untimely passing. She shares what she wishes she knew at the time, how she managed to take care of herself – both before and after Josh’s death – and the importance of realizing that there is no shame in addiction or overdose-related death. Kathy also explains that every person grieves differently and how starting a GRASP group helped her with her own grief process, and she shares some words of hope and advice for those dealing with grief or those who wish to support them. Tune in today!

Description: Kathy Caprino is a career and executive coach, speaker, and author of several pieces including her latest book, The Most Powerful You. She joins me this week to discuss the complicated relationship women have with power, the largest power gaps she has identified from her research, and what women can do to identify and heal them. Kathy shares practical ways women can move more towards meaningful work and away from toxic cultures that promote bad behavior. If you want to add some more badass into your life, let’s dive right in! What You Will Hear in This Episode: Why our childhood teaches us who to be, but that isn’t a lifelong sentence that means we can’t learn and grow to our highest potential.     What Kathy learned as a corporate marketing executive who spent 18 years in corporate life, and the toll it took on her health and outlook of the future. How a layoff after 9/11 moved Kathy into a direction she would have never guessed, as a Marriage and Family Therapist. There, she deeply resonated with women and her internal fire was lit to identify why women struggle with certain things when males don’t. Extensive research over 10 years went into her latest book, The Most Powerful You, and now Kathy has identified the most common power gaps she sees in all socioeconomic brackets. Some of the most powerful gaps include women not recognizing their special talent and ability, and diminishing it from claiming it an executive level. How we can communicate from strength rather than fear and feel in our cells that we are good enough. How women can build a better case for what they want and deserve and go after it. The truth is that culture and society still support these power gaps, but real badass women do the work on themselves first and then help others rise up. When we speak up against discrimination and mistreatment, we help give others a voice as well. Quotes:  “I had this fire lit inside me like a true calling. I want to understand what is happening with women in the professional world. Why are women having these challenges while men are not:” - Kathy “Women don’t even understand how they give their power away.” - Bonnie “We don’t know how to build a case for what we want.” - Kathy Mentioned: Terry Real Kathy Caprino Time To Brave Up | TedX Talk The Most Powerful You Kathy’s book https://www.amazon.com/Most-Powerful-You-Bravery-Boosting-Career/dp/1400217482 Kathy’s TEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZypRbxVekM&feature=youtu.be

I learn something amazing from every single guest I have on this podcast… but every now and again I have a guest on the show that blows my mind, and today’s episode is another one of those transformative, mind-shifting, belief-changing ones that make me love doing this podcast and fundamentally shift how I’m doing things in my business. My guest today is super passionate about training women to be the superheros of their own success. After finding the courage to say "bye-bye" to her corporate marketing career, Kathy Goughenour built a 6-figure virtual assistant business from her tiny house in the middle of a forest. Today, she teaches professional women how to create their own work-at-home VA businesses so they can enjoy the freedom, flexibility and financial security they desire and deserve. Kathy also offers VA Matchmaking sessions to business owners interested in working with Expert VAs® and Virtual Experts®. Kathy and her Expert VA® and Virtual Expert® Training program have been featured in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Good Housekeeping, All You, and The Wealthy Freelancer. Today we’re talking about: Kathy’s journey to become a coach for virtual experts. The realization Kathy came to when she felt her career was at a standstill. How Kathy’s unsolicited marketing advice turned into her first client as a virtual assistant. The importance of taking imperfect action. Why Kathy decided to hire a coach and the best advice she got. Why you should be raising your prices. The #1 key to being successful in your business. Her best advice for you if you want to sell a course. Why you should specialize. How your money mindset can hold back your profit. What Kathy started doing differently to achieve her profit goals. Why your website does not have to be perfect for you to be massively successful. Her best advice for you if you’re struggling to get traction in your business. The one belief Kathy had to change about herself to get where she is today. My favorite quotes from Kathy: “Once you learn how to build this (VA business) you can learn how to build any business you want” “I’m passionate about training women to be the superheros of their own success.” “I am somebody worthwhile and we all are.” “The universe provides more than we can ever handle if we can open our minds and our hearts to that.” “Take bigger risks.” “Stop playing small. The universe needs you.” “Hang out and learn from coaches who have been where you want to go.” “Believe in myself enough to invest that money even though I did not have that money.” “Get way out of your comfort zone.” “What one woman can do, another woman can do.” “Know that you are worthy.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Ryan Levesque Jennifer Kim Forbes Article: Start A Business.

Despite that, Kathy says she prioritizes claims for our team because we’re the only company that offers an incentive-based pay program for adjusters.

Why vegans must begin to talk about climate chaos. The Greta Effect and how vegans can make a direct change. Key Takeaways: If you stage frequent, direct actions, you can build a movement that way.
