In a world where we're overly connected to technology, which should, in theory, make community stronger, we are actually the loneliest we've ever been.

Dr. Sylvia was a Book Proposal Blueprint student of mine several years ago. About to leave a hospital therapeutic practice, she was in that "what's next" moment we all find ourselves in at one point or another.

So she began to listen.

Listen deeply, for themes coming up in her patients. From youth to folks in their golden years, much of what her patients were struggling with could be reduced down to disconnection, abandonment and loneliness.

And there she had her next call to service.

She joined my program and we developed the book that hits shelves THIS WEEK! Lonely AF: A Therapist's No BS Guide to Feeling Less Alone (Wiley)

Join Dr. Sylvia and me on this week's episode of Bound & Determined, where we deep dive into her process for real connection, and she breaks down the journey of bringing this incredible book to life.

What if the path to ease and freedom is not scaling up, but scaling down? Fewer clients. No costly employees. No content treadmill.

This is the conversation I'm having with Pia Silva this week on Bound & Determined. She's the founder of No BS Mastery and is about to launch her second book, Scale Solo this week!

Pia teaches boutique agencies, consultants, and coaches the No BS Business Model for multi-six figure revenue with freedom and ease and no employees. She's aTEDx speaker, host of The No BS Mastery Podcast, former Forbes contributor, and author of Badass Your Brand.

Tune in to find out how to grow your business, coaching practice, platform and authority with more ease!

The world is changing all around us at rapid pace. We have to think on our feet now more than ever. And for those of you reading this, alongside that rollercoaster life is also a creative passion. A project you want to bring to life.

If you're ready to go deep, this week's Bound & Determined podcast episode with Paul Lubicz is for you.

Paul works with high-capacity founders, leaders, and creatives who are externally successful but internally overextended.

For over two decades, Paul has worked at the intersection of performance, psychology, and lived experience—helping people identify where they've become the bottleneck in their own lives and remove the emotional and structural load that's quietly eroding clarity, health, and decision-making.

He is the founder of Return to True Nature, a private mentorship and advisory practice where he works one-on-one and in small groups over extended periods, guiding clients through sustained behavioral change rather than insight alone.

Paul's perspective has been shaped by decades of personal inquiry, leadership exposure, and deep observation of what actually works when pressure is high and stakes are real.

Today, he speaks and teaches on clarity, alignment, and responsibility—helping people stop managing appearances and start living with coherence, authority, and integrity.

I'm certain you'll leave this episode with as many Aha's as I did.
