148. Someday Is Not a Day On the Calendar with Noemi Beres

July 11, 2024 09:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MB

Your life is a collage of all the experiences you have, people you meet, and what you learn along the way. Like many collages, even if they begin with a concept or a plan, as you bring them together they may take directions you hadn’t anticipated and show you things even more interesting than what you originally expected. This was the case for Noemi Beres, whose professional work owning and managing a podcast booking agency involves helping people tell their stories and connecting them to ...

147. Gratitude is The Foundation of Confidence with Tara LaFon Gooch

July 03, 2024 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MB

Having compassion for people is generally considered a good thing and a sign that you’re a decent and kind person who makes an effort to make the world a better place by being part of it. Raised in a religious household, Tara LaFon Gooch learned the value of love and kindness towards others. However, she struggled to extend that same love and compassion to herself. She came from a home with an abusive, toxic father who disappeared from the picture just when she was beginning to discover th...

146. Fabulous In 15, Starting At 50 with Kim Rahir

June 27, 2024 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

Picture yourself living what seems like a regular life as a parent and entrepreneur, where everything seems uneventful and you have every reason to expect the rest of your life to follow a pretty straightforward path. You know, everything’s FINE. Then, one day you go to pick up your kids from school and all of a sudden you’re seeing double. Next thing you know, your life has been turned completely upside-down, your legs are numb and you’re sitting in a wheelchair. In what version of reali...

145. Elevate Your Financial Frequency with Susan Glusica

June 20, 2024 09:00 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MB

Here’s a challenge for you: ask your social media followers if they believe money can buy happiness or bring it up at your next social gathering and watch people fight it out. Some say you can; some say you can’t; others say that money cannot buy happiness like getting a box of happiness at the store, but it solves problems and greases the wheels that make happiness possible and attainable. But what if you’ve been looking at it in the completely wrong way? Growing up the daughter of a Ger...

144. The Productive Perfectionist with Kathryn Mayer

June 13, 2024 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

When you hear the word “perfectionist”, what comes to mind? Maybe you think of yourself? Typically, it’s someone who holds themselves to impossibly and unachievably high standards, driven by fear of real or imagined consequences if they don’t get it (whatever “it” is) exactly right. Because perfect is rarely possible, they never “measure up,” and they get discouraged and burn out. They’ve given away all their f**ks and feel like they never got any results or recognition for all their work...

143. Nurturing New Seeds After PTSD Uprooted Us with Luvyna Mantle

June 06, 2024 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MB

Building your family and your life is like planting, nurturing, and harvesting crops on a farm. You put a lot of effort, a lot of heart, and a lot of energy into it, hoping your knowledge, wisdom, and patience deliver a bumper crop that fills your pantry and allows you a life of comfort, security, and happiness. You may have heard the expression “Man plans, God laughs.” My version of that, of course, is Fine is a 4-Letter Word. That’s how things went for Luvyna Mantle, who saw the crops sh...

142. The F*ck Yes Formula for Energizing Your Life: A Special Episode with Lori

May 30, 2024 09:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MB

Today’s solo episode is about ENERGY! When you look it up, Energy is defined as the capacity or ability to do work. I’d expand it to include the capacity or ability to have fun too. If you have no energy, you’re not going to be getting any work done or having any fun. “Fine” is not fun – it’s a 4-Letter Word! Tune in now as we cover three key areas: 1) Figuring out your values and why they matter 2) Finding your energetic home and what’s important about that 3) Why it’s essential...

141. Regenerating Joy with Brad Chandler

May 23, 2024 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

From the very first episode of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, where my guest revealed that she did not even know what emotions were until she was in middle age because she was punished as a child for having them, I’ve been sharing stories of what happens from the inside out. My mission and drive for this podcast is to give you hope, help you find your passion and purpose, and dare you to see the life that’s waiting for you, so you’ll never hear - or say - the word “fine” in the same way again. B...

140. Replacing Fine with F*ck Off! with P.J. Roscoe

May 16, 2024 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

Children who are told to be “seen, but not heard” learn early on that their thoughts, feelings, and words don’t matter. Then as adults, they continue to silence themselves even when they do speak by hiding and suppressing their true thoughts and feelings. Growing up in a small Welsh village, P.J. Roscoe learned early on to know her place, don’t have an opinion, don’t question or challenge anything, and generally stay completely out of the way. It was such a small village that as P.J. say...

139. Are You a Fiction Writer of Your Own Story? with Lana McAra

May 09, 2024 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MB

Family trauma and drama flow through generations and can take on a form of fiction around “family unity,” “handed down traditions,” and “that’s the way it is” that sweep the suffering under the rug. But two things can happen. Either you’ll find yourself in pain from stepping on the lumps of dirt under the rug, or the rug will slip and slide due to the dirt making it less sticky to the floor – either way, you could fall when you least expect it. This need to create narratives could be part ...

138. Wisdom from Grandpa Owl with Philip Lower

May 02, 2024 09:00 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

In the United States, more than 64 million men identify themselves as fathers. Yet, 7 million American dads are absent from the lives of their minor children, and 17.4 million children live in fatherless homes! Philip Lower, technically, grew up as one of these statistics. His biological father took his own life when Phil was five years old, leaving him with the question: "Why did Daddy have to leave me?" Five years later his mother met and married a wonderful man who became Phil's stepf...

137. The Truth Always Comes Out with Stephany Ann

April 25, 2024 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MB

Imagine you start with a sense of purpose, aligned with your goals, accustomed to your family supporting you in living your authentic life, and successfully practicing the art of the possible. Then, all of a sudden, it gets taken away. Stephany Ann was raised in a supportive family environment that embraced individuality and encouraged her to pursue her passions. When she was 18, her mother released her to do what she intended to do. For five years, she lived the nomad life, backpacking w...

136. When The Shepherd Must Find His Own Way with Matthew Brackett

April 18, 2024 09:00 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MB

When you go out to find yourself, the journey can take you places you didn’t imagine you’d ever go. Maybe it will take you to a different town, or even a different country. But once you get there, it’s possible you’ll discover you really need to go somewhere else. Kind of like in the book The Alchemist. Matthew Brackett felt the calling to go into seminary life from an early age, and it seemed to align with the values he was raised with. Growing up as the 10th of 13 children, he was fort...

135. Pull The Weeds When They’re Wet with Kris Ward

April 11, 2024 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

What is our cultural obsession with busyness? How many businesspeople do you know who wear their exhaustion as a badge of honor? Kris Ward was raised with values she eventually learned she had to overcome – the values of moving fast, getting a lot of stuff done, and working hard. Hard work equals success. But is any of this true? Kris grew up, got married, and started a business. She was determined to succeed and put in a lot of long, hard hours. Her marriage seemed happy, her business ...

134. Update on My Nomad Life: A Special Episode with Lori

April 04, 2024 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

Many of our listeners have been asking for an update on my life as a nomad. For those of you who don't know, in October 2023 I gave up my apartment, put most of my belongings into a 5x10 storage unit in North Virginia, and since then have been traveling the country housesitting cats (and some dogs too) through a program called Trusted House Sitters. Over the past six months, I've visited places like West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida, a...

133. Nobody Gave Me An Instruction Manual with Stephanie O’Brien

March 28, 2024 09:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

Leaving things better than you found them and being honest and open are good traits to have and will likely serve you well. The former makes the world, or your little part of it, better because you were part of it, while the latter both shows respect and earns you respect. Stephanie O’Brien was raised with these values. Although her life took an interesting path, they became her true north and steered her through challenges, including a business relationship that ended due to misaligned va...

132. Something From Less Than Nothing with Zack Lemear

March 21, 2024 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

This week’s guest, Zack Lemear, is a marketing and branding strategist who, on the surface, looks and sounds pretty much like any entrepreneur consultant. It makes sense he’s successful helping businesses with marketing and branding since his ticket in the birth lottery won him a blank slate to create and brand himself. Here on Fine is a 4-Letter Word, you may know my first question of every guest is to ask them what values they were raised with as they were growing up. Zack is probably ...

131. Beyond Safe Spaces with Gregory Halpen

March 14, 2024 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MB

Have you considered how much of what you do - even the things that seem to bring you joy - began as coping mechanisms to deal with trauma? Even your talents and your brilliance might be subconscious, or even conscious, reactions to traumatic experiences from your past. Gregory Halpen came from a family background of violence, addiction, and abuse. Yet one of the main core values he felt he was raised with was the importance of creativity, which he learned from his mother. That's just it, ...

130. Just F**king Be Nice – To Yourself with Ely Delaney

March 07, 2024 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MB

As human beings, we are both programmed and pressured to say everything is “fine”. Someone asks, “how are you?” and you’re supposed to reply “fine, how are you?” Have you noticed that a benign, well-meaning core value many of us are raised with could be reinforcing this and blocking us from improving ourselves? Ely Delaney, whom I met through Success Champions and recently reconnected with when he responded to an ad from our production company looking for guests, is one of these people....

129. An Inspired (And Haunted) Road Trip with Tracy St. Croi

February 29, 2024 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MB

Do you remember a time when the phone would ring and you had to answer to find out who was calling? How about when you saw that stack of presents with your name on them for Christmas or your birthday – did you have a sixth sense that told you which one was the present you really wanted? Tracy St. Croi was one of those kids back in the 1980s who just knew. Tracy revolted against all the "so-called" values and systems she was raised with growing up in the Midwest, such as bragging about you...

128. Motivational Firewood with Steve Gamlin

February 22, 2024 09:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MB

Are you someone who uses self-deprecation to get laughs? Steve Gamlin was too until a pivotal moment when his friend Kris figuratively put on a pair of steel toe boots and kicked his ass and woke him up to the dangerous effects of doing that. Steve was raised to believe in the value of hard work. When Steve was 7, his dad bought their house and started remodeling it, one room at a time. All the Gamlin kids pitched in – helping with the remodeling, yardwork, and before Steve was ten years...

127. Rage Against the Midlife with Kimberly (Kimby) Samson

February 15, 2024 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MB

Have you ever seen those memes that compare the co-stars of “The Firm”, Wilford Brimley looking elderly at age 56 and Tom Cruise looking young at age 56? These memes show us that these days, people are aging much more gracefully, or at least not according to the same timetable they used to. Did the timetable ever make sense to begin with? Is there supposed to be a specific age where we begin to question whether Fine is a 4-Letter Word? Kimberly, or Kimby Samson grew up without a lot of s...

126. Living the Beige Life with Sonia Graham

February 08, 2024 09:00 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MB

When your life story is dominated by trauma resulting from one fucked-up thing after another, it plays a nasty trick on your definition of what’s “fine”. After surviving being killed almost three times before she was two years old, Sonia Graham was adopted into a strict Puerto Rican / Irish Catholic family. Her father was in the Air Force, so while she developed resilience to deal with ever-changing situations, she did NOT learn how to create lasting relationships because she knew whatever ...

125. The Joy Code with Marc Zalmanoff

February 01, 2024 09:00 - 49 minutes - 44.9 MB

Does it seem like everyone else is doing great while you’re struggling? And because it seems like you’re the only one who can’t manage and everyone else has their shit together, you’re either afraid or unwilling to talk about it? But what if you then got to have deep, meaningful conversations with other people and discovered they’re going through the same struggles as you? Marc Zalmanoff was raised largely by a single father who didn’t really explain much to him. His father taught him les...

124. Falling Behind Before Getting Ahead with Adam Hommey

January 20, 2024 01:00 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

What if it’s never been “fine”? What if it feels like every good thing comes with downfalls and you’re racing to keep up? Adam Hommey was raised with the values of pursuing academic excellence and being selfless to the point where it became a detriment. At the same time he was expected to achieve, he felt denied the opportunity to enjoy his success. It all started in his early childhood. He was almost three years old and had barely spoken a word. It turned out he was deaf. Fortunately, hi...

123. Midlife Emergence with Jen Berlingo

January 11, 2024 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MB

Many of us go through life wondering if we’re really living our authentic lives. Are you doing what you really want to do? Are you being who you really want to be? Even if you’ve created a great life, been fortunate, and haven’t had what you consider an existential crisis, is something just not quite right? Jen Berlingo had what seemed to be a great childhood. As she would discover later, she thought she was happy because early on she embraced being a good girl, a people pleaser, and as ...

122. Her Year of Exploration with Kathy Goughenour

January 04, 2024 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

Ever go through a part of your life thinking everything is fine, but then experience that moment when your whole world turns upside down? It could be a debilitating health issue. Or maybe finding out just when you achieved what you thought were your dreams, that it wasn’t what you really wanted after all. Or it comes with baggage that you didn't bargain for. But what if things never were “fine” to begin with? Kathy Goughenour was raised as the daughter of two Pentecostal preachers and se...

121. Change, Control, and Courage: A Special Episode with Lori

December 28, 2023 09:00 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MB

In this end-of-year solo episode, I’m talking about change, control, and courage. How do you identify the need for change? What are the signs of dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, and other indicators that signal a need for change in various aspects of your life? I’m inviting you to reflect on where in your own life you may be hesitant to make necessary changes. We’re talking about understanding fear and resistance because they’re a normal part of change. Once you’re aware of what the...

120. Flip the Script with Yvonne Marchese

December 21, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MB

Sometimes things seem to fall apart just when you think all is going well, and sometimes it seems to happen over and over where it feels like you can never catch a break. But what if those moments where things are no longer "fine" turn out to be springboards that move you to the next step? Growing up, Yvonne Marchese was raised with a strong work ethic. Her father sold suits; her mother worked, even though she preferred to be a stay-at-home mom. Her father's mantra was "Don’t be afraid to ...

119. The Truth is a Lie with Sally Lotz

December 14, 2023 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

Imagine, for a moment, being a child and knowing something was wrong, but being too young to understand. Now picture yourself in a cult without knowing the word for it. That’s what happened to Sally Lotz. Until she was four years old, things seemed normal. Then her parents divorced, her dad left the picture as he served overseas in the military, and her mother took Sally and her siblings to a new city. Suddenly, everything changed. Instead of having freedom to explore, now all her decis...

118. Overcoming as an Overachiever with Holly Bertone

December 07, 2023 09:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MB

A lot of us have a story about that time we hit rock bottom. For some of us, we find out there's yet another rock bottom when the floor bursts out from the one we're on. Then another. What happens when you're looking for the safety net, like someone in a freefall, and it doesn't appear? How does it feel when you have values but are physically incapable of living up to them - especially as an overachiever? Holly Bertone was raised to put the values of honesty and integrity first. When sh...

117. Beyond The Grind Life with Tess Wittler

November 30, 2023 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MB

Many people believe they have a dream lifestyle – the perfect house, the perfect job or business, the perfect family and social cycle, just everything perfect. Some create checklists or vision boards so they can visualize it and align their thoughts and actions toward having it for themselves. But what if you think you’ve achieved it, but it turns out you’ve veered way off course? Tess Wittler was raised in central Pennsylvania as part of a tight-knit family. Growing up, it was annoying t...

116. New Reasons (and Ways) to Celebrate Thanksgiving: A Special Episode with Lori

November 23, 2023 09:00 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MB

In this very special solo episode, I'm talking about gratitude. But let’s dig into it from a different perspective. We'll be starting with a seemingly random question - are you interested in getting high? Because that’s one of the neurological effects gratitude has on us - no sketchy dealer required. It involves a particular chemical in our brains that makes us feel more gratitude, sleep better, alleviate stress and handle it better, strengthen our immune system so we're healthier, r...

115. You’re Not Just One Thing with Alexandra Clayton and Michal Sinnott

November 16, 2023 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MB

First, shout-out to my previous guest, Aneta Kuzma, for connecting me with Alexandra Clayton and Michal Sinnott, who you’re about to hear from today. Personal wellness means different things to different people. When you get to know someone, you find out there’s a lot of unpacking to do. Alexandra and Michal met in a female filmmaking collaborative alliance, and little did they know the exciting journey it would lead them on. Growing up, they were both raised to appreciate the value of e...

114. Finding Fulfillment Via Travel with Kyle Kroeger

November 09, 2023 09:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MB

Many of the stories my guests share here on Fine is a 4-Letter Word involve dramatic downfalls, tumultuous transformations, and earth-turning evolutions. Even if you haven’t really had one of those, I’m willing to bet there’s something going on that’s not fine. Let’s put it to the test. Kyle Kroeger was raised in an entrepreneurial environment with four core values – work hard, do your job and be passionate about it, have your own life and be with your friends, and always ask what else you...

113. The Gift in the Struggle with Dr. David Gustitus

November 02, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MB

The human body is an amazing machine. It has resilience and capabilities most people don't understand. But what happens to the body when we sacrifice too much in service to others? Dr. David Gustitus was raised by parents who divorced when he was very young, but it didn't seem that bad because they were both on the same page about raising him and very involved in his upbringing. He was taught the value of self-sacrifice - that you give and give and give, to the point of having very littl...

112. Learn to Love Your Story with Dr. Natalie Marr

October 26, 2023 09:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MB

I believe humans have an innate desire to do the right thing in all areas of their business and life. But what IS the right thing? And what if it feels wrong to other people when you do it? Dr. Natalie Marr was raised as the middle child of 5 in a culturally Catholic family where she learned two core values: standing up for the little guy and having a powerful work ethic. As a therapist, she ran into imposter syndrome when she went through not one, but two divorces. How could she help ot...

111. Breaking the Blueprint with Amy Palmer

October 19, 2023 09:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

Events of the past few years have created space for many people to question their concept of how things should be. I speak often of the "sabbatical life" and how taking a step back can help you see things that have been right in front of you all along, but you missed them because everything was moving so fast. The pandemic brought the world as we had known it to a sudden halt. Amy Palmer was one of those who had the fast pace of her life hit a sudden standstill. Raised in Central New York...

110. It Seemed Normal... But It Really Wasn’t with Wendy Cocke

October 12, 2023 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MB

As children, without a frame of reference to really compare, however you're raised or whatever you experience seems to be normal. But what if "normal" is not actually what's natural for you? Wendy Cocke was raised in a family that owned a textile business specializing in cut and sew. From an early age, she was involved in business and financial decisions, basically as an equal member of the family. She was taught to think and problem-solve more than she was to memorize and regurgitate. V...

109. Life is Great (Please Send Help) with Jason Seiden

October 05, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

All human beings, like you, are guided by a set of values. But when you stop and think about it, do you really know where those values came from? What's more, will they hold up when the Universe calls your bluff? Jason Seiden's career journey started on third base, right at the height of the dot-com boom. His first job was as an executive producer at RollingStone.com. Through an early career that saw a dizzying rise in his professional profile and a tall stack of achievements, he was fort...

108. Top of Heart with Grant Muller

September 28, 2023 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

First of all, I'd like to give a shout-out to our previous guest, Mike Fisher, for connecting me with Grant Muller, who you're about to hear from today. And what a story you're about to discover! Do you know what it's like to passionately want something - to fall in love with somebody - and not be able to express it because society says it's wrong? To suppress and bury who you really are and what you really feel just to try to fit in and not become a target? Somewhere along the line, you ...

September 14, 2023 09:00 - 36 minutes - 29.6 MB

I'm also sharing where I went and what happened on my summer road trip this year. AND... what crazy, brave, wild thing I'm doing next. Listen to find out what the 3 big fears are that keep you from going after what you really want, why one common fear is really a big fat cop out, and the super-hard and controversial question ...

August 31, 2023 09:00 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MB

Going back a few months to February 2023 for this Summer Session. My guest is my very own animal communicator, Brigitte Baker. We're learning how she uses her intuitive abilities to strengthen the bond between humans and their companion animals. Brigitte's journey to embracing her gift was not without its challenges, as being around animals and their pain was initially too much for her to handle. After years of societal pressure and feeling like she didn’t fit in, she had a turning point a...

104. Summer Session 4: Complacency is a Disease with Tony Jalan

August 10, 2023 09:00 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

This week’s Summer Session takes it back to March 2022 for the conversation with Tony Jalan. He and I talked about motivation, problem solving, owning where you are in life, and practicing intentional gratitude. Tony really got me thinking about the whole concept around intentionality.  I’ll never forget that after we stopped recording, Tony shared with me that one of the stories he told from his childhood, he had never shared before. That’s the cool thing about the intimacy of a podcast st...
