207. Invisible Divides in the Workplace (with Ivonne Furneaux)   In this episode of The Visibility Factor podcast, Susan's guest is Ivonne Furneaux. She is a keynote speaker, workplace strategist and founder of emPower Up Consulting, where she helps organizations lead through change and close the invisible gaps that undermine trust, engagement and performance. With more than 20 years of experience inside complex, global organizations—including Target, UnitedHealth Group, WeightWatchers, OfficeMax and Anywhere Real Estate—Ivonne has led enterprise communications, employee experience, culture, change and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion during periods of transformation, uncertainty and growth. Grounded in both lived experience and formal training, Ivonne brings a human-centered approach to culture and communication. Using her proprietary “Ghost Gaps” concept and 4I Framework, she equips leaders and employees alike with actionable strategies to build more connected, engaged workplaces and careers. Ivonne Furneaux has a diverse background in corporate communications and DEI. The concept of 'ghost gaps' highlights invisible divides in the workplace. Workplace identity significantly impacts employee engagement and experience. Visibility in the workplace is crucial for connection and engagement. Organizational culture is shaped by the actions of all employees, not just leadership. The 4I framework can help organizations address ghost gaps effectively. Earning buy-in for change requires appealing to both hearts and minds. Sponsorship is more impactful than mentorship for career advancement. Transparency in communication builds trust within organizations. Investing in employees at all levels fosters loyalty and engagement. The book that Ivonne recommends is Fantasticland by Mike Bockoven Article that Ivonne wrote: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/invisible-workplace-divides-sabotaging-employee-ivonne-furneaux-qhkhc Follow Ivonne on social media: Website: https://ivonnefurneaux.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivonnefurneaux/ YouTube: @IvonneFurneaux  Instagram: @ivonneinreallife Link to Order Your Journey to Visibility Workbook Thank you for listening to The Visibility Factor Podcast!    Check out my website to order my book and view the  videos/resources for The Visibility Factor book and Your Journey to Visibility Workbook.

Burnout is often treated like a personal failure but what if it's actually a signal that something deeper is out of alignment? In this episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I'm joined by executive coach and organizational change strategist Dr. Kerri Ann Peart for a powerful conversation about burnout, boundaries, identity, and what it really takes to grow into higher levels of financial success without sacrificing your well-being.

In This Episode, Kerriann Shares:  Burnout isn't a personal failure it's often a sign that your work, identity, or values are out of alignment You can't out-earn burnout; if you don't do the inner work, it follows you from job to job and even into entrepreneurship Financial growth requires expanding your capacity and competency, not just working harder or longer Boundaries, self-respect, and who you're being day-to-day determine how much money and responsibility you can sustainably hold   What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

205. Manage Yourself to Lead Others (with Margaret Andrews)   In this episode of the Visibility Factor Podcast, host Susan M Barber interviews Margaret Andrews, a seasoned professional speaker, executive, academic leader, instructor at Harvard and author of 'Manage Yourself to Lead Others.' They discuss the importance of self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and the craft of leadership. Margaret shares her journey from being an accountant to a leadership educator, emphasizing that effective leadership begins with understanding oneself. The conversation highlights the significance of vulnerability, the role of vision in leadership, and the balance between being respected and liked as a leader. Margaret also provides practical advice for aspiring leaders and discusses the transformative impact of leadership on individuals and organizations.   Takeaways How Margaret got started with her class at Harvard that led to writing Manage Yourself to Lead Others. Leadership is a craft that requires self-understanding. There is no one right way to lead; it's about being authentic. Self-awareness is crucial for effective leadership. Interpersonal skills are more important than technical skills in leadership. Vulnerability can lead to powerful moments of self-discovery. Effective leaders give people a reason to follow them. Playing small does not serve the world; leaders must shine. Visibility means being seen and heard by the right people. Leadership involves making tough decisions that may not please everyone. Transformative impact in leadership comes from continuous self-improvement.   The book that Margaret recommends is Angle of Repose by Wallace Stengner and Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner To learn more about Margaret's work and her new book: https://www.margaretandrews.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaretcandrews/ Link to Order Your Journey to Visibility Workbook Thank you for listening to The Visibility Factor Podcast!    Check out my website to order my book and view the  videos/resources for The Visibility Factor book and Your Journey to Visibility Workbook.

In this special birthday reflection episode, I'm slowing things down and turning inward.  I'm sharing where I am in this season of life, what feels solid, what feels unclear, and what I'm intentionally leaving open. Birthdays always make me pause. They give me space to reflect, to check in with myself, and to notice how much has changed internally and externally. In this episode, I'm asking myself honest questions and inviting you to sit with them too. This journey is about so much more than money. It's about who we're becoming along the way.

In this episode of the Spirit and Soul podcast, Tiffany shares her personal experiences with anxiety and emotional awareness, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness in navigating feelings. She discusses the concept of the 'messy middle' in manifestation, where individuals often feel overwhelmed by their emotions while transitioning to new phases in life. Tiffany highlights the significance of surrendering to emotions, practicing breathwork, and recognizing the power of creating one's reality. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their feelings and work through them to achieve personal growth and transformation. Takeaways It's important to share your feelings to help others feel less alone. Self-awareness allows you to recognize and address your emotions. Manifestation involves navigating through the 'messy middle' of change. Surrendering to emotions can lead to healing and clarity. Breathwork helps bring you back to the present moment. Anxiety often creates a false reality that isn't true. You have the power to create your own reality. Recognizing patterns in your emotions can aid in personal growth. It's okay to feel overwhelmed; acknowledge it and move through it. Embrace your feelings as part of your journey towards transformation.

Whether you're connecting with people who will influence your success a decade in the future or simply allowing yourself to be led by your gut instead of your head, trusting your vibes matters.    Your intuition is natural, but you have to awaken it. Slow down, get curious, and don't merely listen to your vibes. Be brave and act on them! Not quite ready to take action? Start in the smallest ways possible by simply taking a breath to check in with your vibes. Then acknowledge your vibes (even if you aren't ready to act on them). Once you name it, you claim it, and that can make all the difference. You deserve a beautiful, vibe-filled life.    Tool of the Week: Slow down and pay attention.

Feeling like you're barely keeping up in dental hygiene school doesn't mean you don't belong—it means you're in the middle of learning something difficult. Most dental hygiene students who care deeply about doing well experience imposter syndrome at some point, especially when they're juggling clinic, exams, new skills, and real life all at once. The goal isn't to silence self-doubt with positivity; it's to respond to it with structure. Skills and confidence don't appear overnight—they grow through consistent practice, reflection, and early course correction. Let this be a reminder that you're not behind- you're building.

Rising in Relationship Love: Simran Your journey to love is sacred, not only because it leads to a union with another, but also because it awakens you to your fullest self. In loving deeply, you remember your divinity. You begin to see that love is not just about two people, but about the sacred dance of connection and separation that tells the story of creation itself.  May this episode deepen your sense of love with self, and others... those of your past that need to be released... and those of your future that can now be embraced. Do not rcreate the future based on the past.

Takeaways Helen emphasizes the importance of clarity in leadership. Great leadership impacts personal wellbeing and professional development. Generational differences can enhance workplace dynamics.

Kim McCrady got started in the field of dentistry over 30 years ago, working her way up as a recall coordinator, dental assistant, and eventually RDH. She later became co-founder of a provider centric support organization, Signature Dental Partners, and, fast-forward to now, is an author of a children's oral health book. Her book, Plaque Poop, provides simplified oral hygiene instructions to children and was written with the focus of preventing dental cavities. I love highlighting her story because it's an example of how you can use your training as a dental hygienist to work outside of the operatory and still help people improve their oral health!

If you're planning to have an abortion soon or you have had one in the past… if you're feeling a strong emotion (or many of them) before or after receiving care… or if you are looking to support a friend, Becca Rea-Tucker's (author, baker, and reproductive rights advocate) new book, The Abortion Companion: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice and Your Journey, is a safe and supportive resource to learn more and have a safe space. Becca wrote the Abortion Companion after her own abortion. Many pre-existing products for abortion contribute to stigma, but Becca's book emphasizes that any feeling (including joy, sadness, relief, or a mix) is ok to feel. The book features self-compassion exercises, comfort tv and movie sections, conversation scripts, affirmations, and more. The book also offers a break from the day-to-day fight for abortion care, imagining a future where the world is unapologetically pro-abortion. For more information, check out Seriously?!: https://liftlouisiana.squarespace.com/seriously?offset=1551988440394 Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

201. Creating a Scary Good Life (with Angie Callen) In this episode of the Visibility Factor podcast, host Susan M Barber welcomes back Angie Callen to discuss her new book, 'Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries.' They explore the concept of the Sunday Scaries, Angie's journey from engineer to coach, and the importance of living intentionally. Angie shares insights on work-life equilibrium, the significance of writing a book, and the role of labels in shaping identity. The conversation delves into embracing failure as a learning experience, the permission to explore and change, and overcoming shame associated with personal challenges. Angie also introduces four key concepts that guide her philosophy: labels, quirks, who not what, and the poll. The episode concludes with reflections on visibility, leadership, and the journey of personal growth.   Scary Good represents living life intentionally and with purpose. The Sunday Scaries are a common phenomenon affecting many professionals. Angie's journey from engineering to coaching highlights the importance of following one's passion. Work-life equilibrium is more realistic than the traditional concept of work-life balance. Writing a book can be a transformative experience for both the author and the audience. Alignment with personal values is crucial for a fulfilling life. Labels can limit our identity; it's essential to explore who we are beyond them. Failure should be viewed as a learning opportunity rather than a setback. It's okay to change your mind and explore new paths in life. Overcoming shame and societal expectations is vital for personal growth.

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In this episode, I share the story of a call from my son's school that changed my day in an instant and what it taught me about real wealth, freedom, and being present for what matters most.  I reflect on what real wealth looks like, not in bank accounts or net worth, but in the freedom to stop, respond, and be present when life happens. I also talk about why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom as a roadmap and guide, and how the new paperback edition includes a bonus chapter to help navigate unexpected detours, setbacks, and uncertainty.   This episode is about presence, perspective, and the true meaning of financial freedom and it's a reminder that your journey is yours, detours and all.   In this episode I share: Freedom isn't just financial it's the ability to make choices when life happens. Real wealth is the flexibility to be present for what truly matters. Your financial journey is a roadmap, not a rigid plan detours are part of the process. Life happens. You're not failing. You're living.

Welcome to round two of our boldest episodes of 2025! While episode one focused on overcoming external obstacles, this episode is about internal transformations. You're about to meet a doctor carrying his Holocaust survivor father's legacy forward through a book he never planned to write. A wealth advisor who lost his wallet and ended up founding a global movement. A mountain climber who judged the world until she realized judgment was just another prison. And a man who escaped a cult led by a woman who called herself “Mother God”...and now helps others see through manipulation.  Four people who had every reason to stay exactly where they were. Safe. Comfortable. Justified. But their hearts said something different. Episode Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Internal Transformations 01:04 Dr. Wolf: A Legacy of Resilience 06:11 Kevin Smith: The Power of Kindness 13:54 Marta Czajkowska: Embracing the Inner Whisper 20:55 Andrew-Ryan Profaci: Escaping the Cult 25:09 Conclusion: Be Bold in Your Journey

We discussed her challenges with mental health in dental hygiene school, a topic I think is so important to highlight for incoming and current students.

Today, she works four days a week as a clinical hygienist and shares lots of great content on her IG (@polished.meg). Make sure to give her a follow!

As we celebrate the holidays and the year comes to a close, I reflect on the journey behind my book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom, and share why the upcoming paperback edition feels especially meaningful. I also open up about what financial freedom looks like beyond hitting a specific number, why flexibility and choice matter more than perfection, and how having a framework not a rigid plan has helped me adjust as life has changed. This episode is both a behind-the-scenes look at the book and a reminder that meaningful progress starts by simply beginning. In this episode, I discuss: Why I wrote Your Journey to Financial Freedom and the gap I wanted it to fill beyond the podcast How my life and mindset have shifted since the hardcover release and why pivots are a natural part of the journey What's new in the paperback edition, including updated numbers, a bonus chapter, and a built-in book club guide Why planning for uncertainty is just as important as planning for growth How financial independence is really about having choices, not just reaching a FIRE number What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

In this week's solo episode, I open up about the reflections, questions, and inner shifts I've been navigating as I enter a new season of life. With the three-year anniversary of Your Journey to Financial Freedom, I'm sharing candid thoughts on growth, purpose, motherhood, and the constant evolution that comes with designing a life of freedom. I talk about the tension between feeling grateful for the life I intentionally built and the uncertainty of what comes next. I also invite you to think deeply about your own season of life; what to keep, what to release, and how to cultivate fulfillment beyond productivity and "shoulds." In this episode, I discuss: The three-year anniversary of my book and why time feels so different now What it feels like to reach the goals I once dreamed of and still wonder, "What's next?" How financial freedom is deeply connected to inner freedom Why you can start over or choose differently any day, not just at the new year + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.
