If you are someone who thinks tech is a huge barrier, my guest will make you change your perspective! Deanna Fenton is the techie in your pocket who loves nothing more than to help online course or membership site creators kick tech overwhelm to the curb! She has worked as a WordPress website developer and had a marketing agency since 2006. Deanna has the philosophy of staying young at heart and mind through lifelong learning. 

Deanna had her marketing agency since 2006 and was tired and burned out. Learning about Kajabi in late 2015 and deciding she wanted to create digital products and teach people how to create their own websites and how to build, market, launch and scale online businesses without tech overwhelm sparked her passion for all things technology! 

What she’s most excited about is her membership with a mostly over 50 crowd on how to build their businesses. She has one member who is almost 80 years old and her get-it-done attitude always inspires her!

Debbie Sassen is a Business and Money Mindset Coach and former Financial Planner. She helps midlife women in business to make more money and grow wealth, without burnout and sacrificing their family. Her coaching gracefully combines business strategy, money management with mindset work to help women dissolve the family of origin money story and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in a cycle of under-earning, overspending, and under-saving.

Too many women feel belittled and diminished by professionals in the financial industry. Debbie believes it's time to change that narrative. No woman should have to dim her light and brilliance to build a solid financial reality for herself and her family - now and in the future! She believes that when we own our wealth and take responsibility for it, we give other people permission to shine their brilliance brightly, too.

In this episode, we not only talk about Debbie’s career as a money mindset coach, but also about her life experiences...

Nathania believes we have the capacity to create a reality we love when we dare to walk into the fire and do the work. She is a champion for those who aren’t sure they have what it takes to change their life, to teach you that YES YOU CAN and to show you the way. The ONLY thing standing in your way is you (and your excuses)!

She had two major transformations in her life, both of which needed a lot of courage and trust in herself and the universe. First was when she...

My latest guest is of the age that most are tech-challenged but not her - she loves technology! Meet Adrian, the 60 year old owner of a successful internet-based business who runs it with the help of her 72 year old sister!!! How crazy amazing is that? On top of that, she managed to juggle a full year of cancer treatments and coping with all the ups and downs of the pandemic while growing her business.

After 40 years in the Corporate world, Adrian "retired" to start her own freelance business doing Pinterest Management and coaching, but she’s never afraid to do a little bit of everything on the internet. She loves learning new things.

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Brené Brown

Showing up as your own authentic self can be difficult and, for some people, who fear they won’t be accepted in doing so, it can take a long time to  step into who they are and be passionate in living their truth. 

In this week’s episode, I chat with Rachel Freemon Sowers, a video visionary and strategist, who calls herself a Video Vixen Because she helps entrepreneurs show up in front of a camera to connect with their audience and be present to the people they serve.

Rachel shares her own story as a gay woman who hid her own identity for years. Her vulnerability and passion to live authentically is so inspirational and now she encourages other people to show up, shine their own light and step into their own true self so they can live their best life.

My guest this week is Jackie Wheeler Wiebe, a longtime homeschooling mom & the founder of HomeSchool ThinkTank. who strives to connect homeschool families with one another and provide the resources and inspiration they need.  

Her purpose path began quite unexpectedly, as it often does, when she took action to help someone else - her 13-year old daughter! Her daughter wanted to write a book so Jackie decided SHE would start writing a book to learn about the self-publishing process so she could help her daughter publish her novel when she was ready. 

When she thought about what her book should be about, she turned to what she knew and that was homeschooling. This process led her to think about the challenges she had as a homeschooling mom and come up with ideas to solve those problems.

An internal spark was lit, and as she took action, her path and potential purpose became more and more clear. Once she committed to this new path and doing the work she was meant to...
