What if your health destiny isn't written in stone?

In today’s episode, I’m exploring the empowering truth that we have more influence over our brain health and longevity than we might believe. I'm joined by my new friend and colleague, Dr. Ryan Williamson, a board-certified neurologist and founder of Transcend Health, for a conversation filled with hope, science, and practical strategies.

Ryan and I dive into how the small choices we make every day — around sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress — shape the trajectory of our cognitive health, especially post menopause. We also reflect on the powerful role that purpose, community, and connection play in extending both our lifespan and our healthspan.

What we explore:

• Why cognitive decline is not inevitable — and how much is within your control

• The Core Four pillars that Ryan recommends for brain vitality

• How movement and even "exercise snacks" can dramatically extend your healthspan

• What you need to know about sleep, stress, and longevity

• The critical role of purpose — and how it fuels your resilience

In this powerful and personal conversation, I’m joined by the unforgettable Ramona J. Smith — 2018 Toastmasters International World Champion of Public Speaking. Ramona’s story is about far more than public speaking accolades. It's a journey of courage, confidence, and claiming her worth — financially, personally, and professionally. From teaching high school to setting stages ablaze across five continents, Ramona opens up about what it really took to transform her mindset and bank account.

We explore the pivotal role my book Worthy played in helping Ramona shift from a scarcity story into a self-worth-centered approach to money and business. With boldness, honesty, and fire, she shares how she rewrote her internal narrative, raised her prices, and finally began to live — and earn — in alignment with her value.

Whether you're a coach, speaker, entrepreneur, or anyone ready to ditch people-pleasing and step into unapologetic worth, this episode is a must-listen.

What we explore together:

The behind-the-scenes of how Ramona went from classroom to global stages

How a conversation with another champion led her to my book ‘Worthy’

Worthiness as the foundation of wealth

Why affirmations alone won’t change your bank account

How to find the courage to raise your rates and start charging what you’re worth — today

→ Feeling stuck in your pricing, your self-worth, or your visibility? Start with the inner work. Pick up a copy of Worthy and do the exercises, then, just like Ramona – take action!

If you’ve been feeling stuck, off-track, or like life just doesn’t fit the way it used to — this episode is your invitation to stop seeing it as a crisis and start seeing it as a catalyst.

In this episode, I share some practical reframing techniques around what we’ve long called the “midlife crisis.” Together, we’ll explore why this season of questioning is actually a call to return to your truth — not a sign of failure. I walk you through three powerful mindset shifts that will help you shed perfectionism, stop people-pleasing, and step into the life you’re meant to live — one small, brave step at a time.

This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of everything.

What we’ll explore together:

• Redefining the “midlife crisis” as a spiritual initiation

• The hidden cost of perfectionism and people-pleasing

• Learning to listen inward and trust what you hear

• Creating space for reinvention, without needing a full life overhaul

• Returning to your truth after years of playing roles

If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone navigating their own dark night of the soul. Your transformation is already underway — and you are not alone.
