Who would you be if you stripped away all your accomplishments? That’s one of the questions Jennifer Nielson examined as she realized she’d spent her entire life focused on pushing, doing, and seeking recognition instead of simply being. In this deeply personal conversation with host Meredith Bell, Jennifer describes the direction her life took as a result of childhood trauma and the burnout she experienced in her business as she was driven to achieve extraordinary results. Her insights are relevant and important for anyone who has sought validation from their achievements.

Jennifer’s stories and life lessons from her travels to Japan, Morocco, and South Africa will open your eyes to the value and beauty of every person you encounter. Near the end of this episode, she offers three questions to ask yourself that can peel back the layers and uncover what’s most important to you. You will come away from this conversation enriched by the beautiful, raw honesty of this very special and remarkable woman.

What if you could learn a simple way to create what you DO want instead of what you DON’T want? Chris Smith has dedicated the past 15 years of his life to helping others do just that. In this unforgettable conversation with host Meredith Bell, Chris explains the difference between speaking possibilities to yourself instead of listening to the limitations that often dominate our thoughts.

You’ll hear several examples of how you can speak possibility into others as well as into yourself. You can have a positive impact on everyone you encounter as you learn to look for opportunities to recognize their unique areas of greatness and inspire the person to live into those. His passion for this topic will inspire you to see yourself and see others as enough and worthy just as you and they are right now.

We create our limitations. They don’t exist in reality. Yet possibilities exist everywhere, and we are often blind to them. Listen to this eye-opening conversation and start seeing the possibilities that are yours for the taking.

About the Guest:

According to Chris Smith, he would rather skip the accolades, achievements, and personal back-patting found in typical bios. He’d just like to get to the truth: Chris Smith is who he chooses to be every single day. His purpose is to awaken people to what is actually possible in every area of their lives.

His story begins in Arizona, where his family was among the first to settle on that wild and beautiful land. He grew up a cowboy, surrounded by storytellers, soaking up wisdom that couldn’t be found in books.

He pursued a few vocations and found a measure of success in each. None really spoke to him so instead he chose to speak into each of them – connecting with people to create possibility, finding meaning in leadership and language, and unlocking growth and change. And in doing so, he discovered his purpose.

Today, Chris and his team at The PSBLTY Co., partner with entrepreneurs, brands, and teams of all sizes to discover their identity and purpose. Working together, they find clarity, build leadership and culture, align teams, and create sustainable growth that is aligned with who they are in the world.
