When comfort starts costing you more than change, it’s time to move. We sit down with Dania, a mentor to founders and a master connector, to unpack the real signals that tell you to quit the job, bet on yourself, and build a business that can breathe. From the first manual that launched her company to turning bottlenecks into revenue, she lays out a grounded path: generate cash, hire the right people, and let systems carry the weight you shouldn’t.

We trade hustle myths for practical mechanics. Dania explains how to fund a first hire without gambling the house, why follow-up quietly prints money, and how “get 100 nos” training rewires the fear that keeps owners stuck. We dig into boundaries with clients and friends, the three-strike rule for repeated complaints, and the difference between problem-solving and unpaid emotional labor. If you’ve felt like a therapist at the gym or the default fixer at work, this conversation offers language and lines that protect your time, money, and mind.

Mental health takes center stage too. Movement isn’t a side note; it’s a system. Gym sessions and line dancing become bilateral resets that lower cortisol, sharpen choices, and keep the business from absorbing every emotion. That steadiness fuels clearer hiring, braver outreach, and better leadership. We close with a strong definition of being powerfully broken: aware of what hurt you, no longer ruled by it, and focused on outcomes that honor your future.

If you’re overworked, underpaid, and ready to leap with intention, this one’s for you. Tap play, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with the one bottleneck you’re fixing this week.

What if the thing that tried to break you became the reason you lead with more courage, clarity, and care? We sit down with cheer coach and mentor Atira Ashley to trace the path from wrongful termination to a faith-fueled mission that’s raising confident girls and stronger communities—one routine, one voice, one choice at a time.

Atira opens up about the weight of travel, finances, and uncertainty, and how obedience shifted everything. We explore how HBCU culture and the Stop and Shake style shaped her program’s heartbeat: teaching girls to own their voice, stand tall under pressure, and find belonging through movement and mentorship. The conversation goes deep on mental health—how to breathe through the whirlpool days, set honest goals, and build boundaries that protect joy. We unpack marriage as a true partnership, push back on social media perfection, and talk about the quiet heroism of showing up when no one is watching.

You’ll hear how a single word of encouragement can change a life, why alignment beats hustle, and how legacy grows when we pour from a full cup. Atira also shares how to connect for one-on-ones, group trainings, and consulting as she scales her impact. If you’ve been overgiving, second-guessing, or scrolling for answers, this is your nudge to reset and choose what matters most: faith, intention, and community that speaks life.

What does it take to turn a life once steeped in chaos into a business that bottles peace for others to taste? We sit down with Kitten, founder and CEO of Nelijah One Winery in Akron, Ohio, to unpack how a love of wine, a tough health diagnosis, and a very blunt $300 receipt pushed her to create a low-sulfite, no-hangover wine brand that puts wellbeing first. It’s a story about resilience, flavor, and family—told with laughter, candor, and a few pairing tips you’ll want to save.

Kitten walks us through the earliest experiments, from messy fruit batches and stubborn yeast to a smarter approach with quality grape juice that kept the taste high and the sulfites low. Lupus shaped the process and, in turn, improved the product for everyone who struggles with headaches, heartburn, or next-day fog. We explore ports, ABV awareness, and why dessert wines sing alongside chocolate and cheese. Along the way, seasonal favorites like Black Forest and Caramel Moscato show how scarcity and craft can build real community and demand.

At the heart of it all is legacy. The wines are named after grandkids, and production is a family affair—hair nets, stirring paddles, day-14 transfers, and pride. When flares hit, the kids step in, learning process, patience, and ownership. That same spirit extends to a haircare line inspired by chemo recovery, creating space for the granddaughters to see themselves in the brand. We also talk openly about alcohol as coping: how a beloved bottle can become a quiet signal to check in on ourselves, our receipts, and our rituals.

If you care about health-conscious wine, smarter sipping, and building a business that outlives the founder, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical steps. Taste the difference at thatwine.me or text 330-459-9090, then tell us your favorite flavor.
