Welcome Mrs. Arizona 2025, Jenna Ghisolfo, an inspiring woman whose life’s work bridges compassion, community service, and conscious manifestation.

Together, Jenna and Gemma explore the true meaning of hope: how it serves as a stepping stone from despair to empowerment, and how transformation unfolds when faith meets inspired action. Jenna shares her remarkable journey of balancing pageantry with purpose, from helping families transition from homelessness to housing, to discovering how her crown unexpectedly amplified her mission to serve.

Gemma and Jenna dive deep into the emotional guidance scale, the difference between hope and manifestation, and the universal truth that we are all powerful creators of our reality. This episode is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest flicker of hope can reignite dreams, and dreams lead to miracles.

Topics covered:

* Hope as an emotional lifeline and stepping stone

* Manifestation, alignment, and trusting universal guidance

* Empowered femininity, resilience, and faith in action

Listen in for a moving conversation that uplifts, empowers, and inspires you to believe again, in yourself, your dreams, and the infinite possibilities around you.

In the last 8 years, Jacob has worked from a Chromebook on 4 continents, in 29 countries, 134 cities and 96 airports. 

In the past 6 years Jacob has grown his portfolio to 4 companies while maintaining his about 20 hours of work per week. He continues to ski an average of 50 days a season and spends an equal number of days paddling and hiking in the mountains.

His business DNA was imprinted with the commitment to solve problems and create lasting solutions. The inspiration for his first business was born out of necessity. When Jacob came out of the ICU he was in a coma. When he woke up, he was given a 100% chance of living a limited life, this wasn’t good enough… It had to be great.

Since then, Jacob has focused on a purpose-driven existence.

After he designed and ran a clinical rehabilitation practice with a nearly 100% success rate, Jacob shut it down temporarily and started a heart-based digital marketing agency. He is now running both online for over a decade.

In the last 8 years, Jacob has worked from a Chromebook on 4 continents, in 29 countries, 134 cities and 96 airports. 

In the past 6 years Jacob has grown his portfolio to 4 companies while maintaining his about 20 hours of work per week. He continues to ski an average of 50 days a season and spends an equal number of days paddling and hiking in the mountains.

We'll explore the transformative potential of integrating mindful pauses into your daily rituals, enhancing not just your self-awareness but also your choices —prompting kindness to prevail over anger. Our discourse will illuminate how these small, intentional acts can spark an inner revolution, with the possibility of igniting societal transformation.

Oliver, the protagonist with his characteristic sling, has inspired countless children to find strength in their differences, proving to be a hero in every installment of the series. As Todd shared insights into creating these enchanting stories, we learned about a movement that reaches beyond the pages to touch lives as it counteracts bullying.

The upcoming 7th and last book of the series will be released in October 2024, paired with a hand-painted ornament from the series to adorn your Christmas tree. It promises to be a fitting tribute to this tradition of storytelling that unites us in the spirit of the holidays. You can pre-order it today!

The golden years are often painted with the brush of retirement and winding down, but not for Carolyn Boras. At 69, this full-time teacher and hypnotherapist is redefining what it means to age with verve. She's not stepping back; she's stepping up, embracing the 70s as her second brilliant career, and looking ahead to her 80s as her 'Yoda years'—a time to share accumulated wisdom. With Carolyn's story as a beacon, we explore how a life-changing health scare can ignite a fervent mission to help others, exemplifying that it's never too late to forge a new path and make an indelible mark on the world.

As she stands at the end of her 6th decade, the conversation takes a personal turn, reflecting on the pivotal experiences that have sculpted her journey, like the serendipity of a Bhutanese blessing and the tranquility found in Balinese yoga. These experiences remind us that our attitude and the company we keep can significantly influence our aging process, as demonstrated through stories of resilience, like the story of a senior who stared down cancer with a potent positive mindset. We unpack the secrets of longevity found in 'blue zones' and celebrate the continuous personal growth that each decade can bring. Through this episode, we extend an invitation to listeners to redefine their own decades and cultivate a life brimming with zest, discovery, and unending curiosity.

I packed my bags, left everything that was familiar and moved halfway around the world. Why? I was desperate for some relief. I had already been in education for more than 20 years. I experienced anxiety, panic, and dread when faced with work-life imbalance, unrealistic expectations and the feelings of guilt and failure because I wanted something better for my life. The thought of having to stay where I was for another 15 years before I could retire, was incomprehensible to me.

I’ve been an international educator now for almost 20 years. But taking such drastic measures is not doable for everyone. Changing the scene doesn’t necessarily change the details. There’s a much simpler and faster way for affecting healthy change. My goal is to help educators who are experiencing “burn-out” restore their self-esteem and confidence and to reclaim their personal power using proven tools and techniques that I know provide life-changing results.

The tools of Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) have a powerful, transformative effect. RTT® can help shift limiting beliefs that hold you back from reclaiming your self-esteem, confidence, sense of purpose and personal power, so that you can live the life that you envision.

When Marcie Macari walked into an ordinary church, with palms sweaty and a heart full of hope, little did she know that she was stepping into what would become a defining moment of her life. Listen to this remarkable narrative of how she and her then-husband trusted the universe, embarking on a mission trip to South Africa with only their faith as currency, performing heartfelt dramas and counting on the generosity of strangers for survival. Marcie's story is about the exact amount of money to the cent that appeared as if by magic, it's about the reaffirmation of faith, the kindness that thrives in human hearts, and the affirming nod from the universe when you're on the path you're meant to walk.

The experience of Marcie's five years in ministry is a delightful blend of serendipity, spiritual connections, and minimalism that would rival Thoreau's time at Walden Pond. Let's dive together along these unexpected twists and turns, from the ice cream shop that held more than just sweet treats to the countless congregations whose open arms provided much more than shelter. It's a poignant reminder of how life is rich with connections that transcend our physical needs, binding us together in an unseen yet profoundly felt network of generosity and shared humanity. Join us for an episode that touches the heart and awakens the soul to the boundless possibilities when service and faith go hand in hand.

Marcie Macari is a published author, Culinary Instructor to adults with developmental disabilities, and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner.

Her resilience resume includes: surviving every kind of abuse, nearly every natural disaster, a health condition that left her bedridden overnight and stole more than 10 years of her life, and being abandoned by a Christian ministry in Africa when she came out as a Lesbian. 

With the ministry refusing to fly her home or renew her work visa, Marcie started making, selling, or trading handmade greeting cards for food to feed her and her 14 month old daughter.

When she was 24 and woke up suddenly very ill, she went to every type of doctor and specialist she could find. No one seemed to be able to help, so she studied to be Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner, (ROHP) graduated the 3-year program in a year with First Class Honors and worked to heal herself using food and nutrition as medicine.

She has been helping people heal themselves ever since, and coaching people to harness their resilience to overcome the challenges they face to bounce, not break!

Marcie is the author of “She Births: A Modern Woman’s Guidebook for an Ancient Rite of Passage” and has been published in several magazines including: “VIVA”, “Compleat Mother”, and “Island Child”. Her stories and writings have appeared in: “Bearing Witness” by Dr. Lisa Doran and Lisa Caron, as well as in several blogs. She is an inspirational speaker with over 10,000 stage performances to her name and hundreds of workshops, presentations, and speeches under her pre-digital era belt. 

Marcie speaks on topics of importance to women, entrepreneurs, the LGBTQ community, welcoming religious groups and marginalized youth-all with a focus on RESILIENCE.   

When she isn’t speaking, working on her next book, or teaching, you can probably find her cuddled up with her Cornish Rex Cosmo and a cup of herbal tea.

I am one of the few Elite Neuro Encoding specialists in the world with a holistic life coaching qualification and am licensed as a brain coach by Dr. Amen, a renowned neuropsychiatrist. My coaching approach is unique because I blend scientific knowledge about the brain with the emotional support of a life coach. I use techniques like neuroencoding and EMDR to help my clients reprogram their brains and create new neuropathways, enabling them to achieve their desired lives.

I originally received an MS in sociology and education and worked as a successful career coach in Europe. However, despite my professional success, I felt unfulfilled and out of place. When I lost my 16-month-old son and struggled with depression and low self-esteem. I became trapped in a negative mindset and believed that the world was against me due to my inability to cope with the trauma.

It was at this point, that I realized, that it was not possible for everything and everyone around me to be wrong or bad. This realization marked the beginning of my transformation journey.

I began learning about how the brain and emotions function, and eventually trained and qualified as an Elite Neuro Encoding specialist at the Neuroencoding Institute with Joseph McClendon III. I also graduated from Amen University with a rare certification as a Brain coach and Trainer. I became one of the few certified brain coaches in the world with a scientific and holistic coaching approach.

Since then, I have worked with many well-known coaches and learned hands-on. I now live in integrity with my dreams and values and help my clients thrive on their own terms. With a wide range of tools and in-depth knowledge, I help clients overcome trauma, stress, and pain without having to revisit their past. My strategies can help them overcome depression and anxiety and give them the tools to understand and change their habits and default to their best behavior. I can assist you in eliminating fears of failure, success, and fear of rejection. I will help you eliminate procrastination and self-doubt or help you assassinate chronic stress. With the new tools and abilities that you will gain during our sessions, you will experience life in a way that will open more doors to possibilities and joy on your terms. If I was able to do it, you can too.

Embark on an empowering odyssey with the remarkable Linda Terjesen, a nutritionist and life coach who's turning her profound personal loss into a lifeline for women worldwide. Witness how the sudden departure of her beloved brother, taken too soon by heart disease, ignited Linda's quest for holistic well-being. Our conversation with her is a treasure trove of insights, as she intertwines fitness mastery, nutrition wisdom, and the art of a positive mindset. Linda's story is a vibrant tapestry of self-love and personal evolution, illustrating that the journey toward a robust, health-centric life is paved with dedication and compassion.

As we venture further, Linda's ethos of integrating time management and self-care unfurls, revealing strategies to combat the hustle of daily life while nurturing our health. Uncover the secrets to transforming grief into unshakeable motivation, and learn how Linda's beacon, LTLTE, serves as a rallying point for women eager to take control of their well-being. She extends an invitation to join her community, fostering a bond over fitness and nutrition that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Linda Terjesen's narrative is a motivational call to action, urging us to prioritize our health and happiness in a world that too often neglects both.

I'm a weight loss expert for women over 50, a Certified Nutritionist, Online Health and Life Coach, and Certified Positive Psychology Coach. At 56 years old I'm in the best shape of my life, nearly 20 pounds lighter than when I was 30.

The reason I'm extremely passionate about helping other women improve their health is because I lost my only brother to a sudden heart attack when he was only 45 years old.

My brother was an entrepreneur, he worked hard, but unfortunately, he had a lot of stress in his life, he didn't eat the healthiest, and although he was very active physically in his job, he didn't exercise regularly, and he didn't have the greatest support for his health.

If I knew then what I know now I'm confident I could've helped save my brother’s life. If you feel or know something is seriously wrong with your health, and you're on a variety of medications, please ask for help. You can change! 

Improving your health is a job from the inside out and if you're ready to change your body for good it starts with changing your mind, getting out of your comfort zone, making a decision and taking action.  

My wish is to make the world a healthier place and it starts with you. If you want some help, reach out and let's talk.

Ever feel like you're on a hamster wheel, constantly racing but never truly getting anywhere? Our guest for this episode, Kim Groshek - or as she's affectionately known, the "pause lady" - has discovered a powerful antidote to our fast-paced world: the power of the pause. Kim takes us on a fascinating journey from her childhood love of computers, through her career in computer science, and finally to her life-altering realization of the need to disconnect from technology. Our discussion pivots around a tragic incident involving a young man and online predators, which motivated Kim to create the "pause challenge," advocating for scheduled breaks from screens and devices.

But the conversation doesn't stop there. We delve into the seemingly counterintuitive benefits of boredom and the magic that happens when we allow our thoughts to percolate. More than a call to minimize screen time, this episode extends an invitation to face uncomfortable spaces and heal from trauma. Through her Pause Power Online platform, Kim provides the necessary tools and guidance for this transformative journey. Whether you're struggling with presence or simply curious about the power of the pause, this episode has something for everyone. Let's press pause together and unlock the power of being present in the moment.

Kim is an elite business strategist and mental health coach. She has been helping leaders trust their instincts and master their potential for 30 years. She is known as the “Pause Lady” and she works with achieving professionals to become more successful and happy by doing less.

Kim Groshek lives in the midwest and spends her days writing colorful stories with characters who live in fantasy worlds. She lives in a house filled with a lot of activity. Kim’s been a cognitive science practitioner for more than 30 years. During that time, she saw many impacts of our reliance on artificial intelligence, it was a personal exploration. But at some point, it became clear that this was not something to keep to herself. Her fiction stories show how colossal our reliance on it affects our behaviors and how our decisions impact us in the future. 

May her stories open your mind! Transport you through a magical illumination. Head Rush is her first fiction novel.

How can we transform our grief into something meaningful and powerful? Join us for a heartfelt conversation with our special guest, Dr. Parul Dua Makkar, as she shares her journey of grief and finding meaning after the loss of her brother, Dr. Manu Dua, to oral cancer last year. Dr. Parul opens up about the unique challenges she faced during this time, from not being able to visit Manu during his treatment, to planning a funeral amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this episode, we explore the power of choice, forgiveness, and the beauty of connection, even when it's virtual.
