We'll all taken a proverbial pause, maybe freaked out a little, and questioned how you'll move forward. And now... let's take back control of what we can control.

From Self-Doubt to Self-Love
October 15, 2019 23:26 - 46 minutes - 63.7 MBAs Alissa has said time and again, we're all perfectly lopsided puzzle pieces, a part of this larger puzzle, or threads in the larger tapestry. We have just relaunched this show and what better and more-fitting episode to start with than to invite Kari Romeo as our opening guest because she is everything that this show embodies. Kari is no stranger to limiting beliefs, fears, and self-doubt. Before all the success, she's dealt and struggled with insecurities—much like we all do. Today's epis...

August 28, 2018 01:36 - 39 minutes - 39.3 MBAs small business owners, when we start our business, the ultimate goal is to hit a certain figure and be successful, which is what we had always imagined it to be. Anytime that happens, we celebrate and give ourselves a tap on the back for a job well done. But mind you, celebrations can often be short lived, and soon we find out that while we were still high on the success, the stress and challenges were keeping up too. New level, new devil—as I’d like to say. This episode today tackles the...

July 23, 2018 07:00 - 40 minutes - 40.8 MBLet’s be honest, technology can be difficult to navigate, especially if you’re like our guest today who says she is not a spring chicken.

May 21, 2018 07:00 - 41 minutes - 38.6 MBFinding and maintaining focus is sometimes easier said than done, especially if you have the same personality type as with our guest today.
