What if the adventure you are searching for is already speaking to you?

Sometimes it arrives as a quiet nudge. A moment when something inside says yes before the mind understands why. In this conversation, Jaclyn Shaw invites us to trust those whispers and allow them to guide the path ahead.

Jaclyn is a spiritual mentor, bestselling author, and speaker who supports entrepreneurs and leaders in building businesses rooted in faith, truth, and deep personal alignment. She shares how listening to inner guidance led her from traditional business coaching into a mission helping spiritual entrepreneurs step into visibility, leadership, and abundance.

We talk about what it means to be “employed by God,” and how energetic alignment, courage, and conviction can transform both business and life. Jaclyn also shares powerful insights on boundaries, difficult conversations, and why spiritual leaders deserve to be well paid for the work they bring into the world.

This conversation is an invitation to trust your voice, follow the nudges, and allow your own adventure to unfold.

In this episode we explore

• Trusting soul nudges and divine guidance
• Why spiritual entrepreneurs deserve abundance
• Moving from victim energy into personal power
• Navigating hard conversations with honesty and integrity
• The difference between saving someone and empowering them
• Living and leading from faith and energetic alignment

What if confidence was not something you were born with or without, but something you could build, moment by moment, through the choices you make every day?

In this episode, I sit down with Simone Knego, bestselling author, international speaker, and creator of the REAL Method, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about confidence, leadership, and seeing yourself differently.

Simone invites us to widen our definition of leadership beyond titles and achievements and into the everyday moments that shape our lives. We talk about her concept of kitchen table leadership, how family decisions become leadership decisions, and what it looks like to lead with values, compassion, and presence at home and beyond.

She walks us through her REAL framework for building confidence from the inside out by respecting yourself, embracing failure, asking yourself what you truly want, and choosing to live without limits. Along the way, Simone shares stories from motherhood, adoption, career pivots, podcasting with her daughter, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, each one pointing back to the same truth: confidence is built through lived experience, not perfection.

This conversation with Jackie Woodside feels like settling into a deep breath with someone who has lived many lives and still chooses joy, intention, and a higher vibration every day. Jackie returns to share the heart behind her two upcoming films, Your Money Vibes and The Frequency of Miracles, inviting you to step into your own adventure with more faith and courage.

Jackie is a USA Today and five-time international Amazon bestselling author, TEDx speaker, coach, and founder of the Conscious Living Summit. Beyond her accomplishments, it’s her energy that leaves a mark. She talks about meeting the director who encouraged her to bring Money Vibe to the screen, the unexpected challenges of making a film, and the moments when faith had to be louder than fear.

We explore basketball, racquetball, flow states, teamwork, and what it means to stay dialed into your body and purpose. Jackie reminds us that life is a team sport and that our vibrational pattern touches everyone around us.

Takeaways:

• Your inner vibration shapes every part of your life

Some conversations quietly shift how you see your own life. This one did that for me. Sitting with Dr. Allison Alford felt like naming something I have lived for years but never quite had words for. The constant tending, the emotional awareness, the invisible effort that keeps families moving forward.

In this episode, we talk about daughtering. Not as a duty or burden, but as an active, meaningful role that many women step into across their entire lives. Dr. Allison shares how daughtering shows up through emotional labor, planning, problem-solving, and staying connected, often without recognition or rest. We explore why burnout happens, how inherited family scripts shape us, and how choosing awareness can turn exhaustion into intentional connection.

Dr. Allison Alford is a communication scholar, speaker, clinical associate professor at Baylor University, and the author of *Good Daughtering: The Work You’ve Always Done, The Credit You’ve Never Gotten, and How to Finally Feel Like Enough*. This conversation reflects the heart of adventure as it lives inside relationships, family systems, and the courage it takes to stay present in the now while honoring who you are becoming

The deepest adventures are not always the ones we plan. They are the ones that ask us to trust, to receive help, and to keep going even when the ground beneath us has shifted.

Jo Giese is an award winning journalist, lifelong hiker, and author whose life changed after a devastating accident and a medical outcome that told her she might never walk again. Instead of accepting that ending, Jo chose something else. She chose hope, grit, and community. She became the CEO of her own healing.

In this conversation, Jo shares her journey from a traumatic Achilles injury and multiple surgeries to learning how to walk again through determination, support, and deep connection to nature. We talk about the paradox of loss and becoming, the power of subtraction when certain voices no longer belong on the trail, and how waterfalls, movement, and meaning carried her forward.

This episode is for anyone navigating a hard diagnosis, a life altering setback, or a season where progress feels slower than expected.

What you will hear and feel in this conversation

• Why some people accept a grim diagnosis and others refuse to let it define them
• What it means to become the CEO of your own healing
• How choosing the right people can change the outcome
• The role of nature and adventure in recovery and resilience
• Why comparison leads to despair and presence restores hope

Some episodes feel like a deep exhale. This one did that for me.

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Schlosser, a trauma informed breathwork facilitator, yoga teacher, and free spirited midlifer joining me from Albuquerque, New Mexico. What unfolds is not a tidy how to conversation. It is real. Messy. Funny. Honest. And deeply embodied.

We talk about what it means to be labeled too much and how that story shows up in midlife, relationships, creativity, money, and even how we decorate our homes. We explore how perfectionism freezes us, how comparison sneaks in quietly, and how breath becomes a way back to ourselves when life feels overwhelming or unfinished.

Rebecca guides us through a gentle breathwork practice you can do as you listen, inviting you to meet the parts of yourself you usually try to push away. Not to fix them. Just to notice them. To breathe with them. To let them belong.

This episode is about the paradox of slowing down in order to move forward. About trusting that the adventure is already happening, even when it looks imperfect or incomplete.

In this full episode, we explore

• The idea of too muchness and why it might actually be your gift
• How breathwork helps us meet insecurity instead of resisting it
• Perfectionism, comparison, and the nervous system
• Why small moments of presence can change everything
• Learning to live breath by breath instead of striving for certainty

As you listen, notice what you are being asked to meet rather than manage.

This conversation felt like a deep exhale. A remembering. With Mary Ann Simonds, we explore what happens when we stop trying to control the moment and learn to be with it. Horses, wildlife, children, and humans all exist within the same field of awareness. When we soften our attention and shift from looking at to looking with, real connection becomes possible. This episode invites you back into the adventure that is already here, alive in your body, your relationships, and the natural world around you.

Mary Ann grew up loving horses in California and has spent more than four decades as a researcher, educator, coach, and pioneer in equine psychology and human animal interaction. Her work weaves science, consciousness, and lived experience to help humans and horses reduce stress, build trust, and thrive together. We explore social behavior, boundaries, safety, awareness, and what horses can teach us about leadership, regulation, and belonging.

• Why looking with nature reveals more than looking for answers
• What horses teach us about boundaries, safety, and social intelligence
• How presence and energy shape behavior in both humans and animals
• The parallels between equine psychology, child development, and healing
• Why awareness and relationship matter more than rigid training systems

Reflection for you
Where in your life are you pushing for answers instead of allowing connection? What might shift if you softened your focus and chose to be with the moment instead?

This moment matters more than we realize.

In this reflective solo episode, I’m checking in with you from a snowy mountain town and inviting an honest pause as the year unfolds. We talk about shedding old skins, standing at the edge of long held dreams, and remembering that the adventure is not something we arrive at later. It is happening now.

I share behind the scenes reflections from my TEDx journey, lessons inspired by Martin Luther King Jr, and how powerful moments are often born through connection, presence, and listening to what is calling from within. We explore the transition into the year of the fire horse, the courage it takes to let dreams evolve, and how animals, nature, and real human connection bring us back to what is true.

This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, assess what is working, and ask yourself what you are ready to release so you can meet what is next with clarity and courage.

You’ll hear reflections on

• Why presence matters more than perfection
• How connection creates powerful turning points
• Letting go of outdated goals and honoring new callings
• Using nature and animals as guides back to yourself
• Questions to help you reassess where you are and where you are headed
