We spend a lot of time planning for our careers, special occasions, and events, but we spend very little time creating a plan for our money. Despite America being deemed one of the wealthiest countries, U.S. workers are living paycheck to paycheck, racking up debt, having little or no savings, and having no plan for retirement.  People spend a lot of time being anxious and worrying about money, which can lead to mental health challenges or make existing mental health challenges worse. This further impacts our work performance, physical health, and, let's not forget, relationships. According to our guest, money mentor, coach, and accounting and tax doctor, Dakota Grady, America is in a financial crisis, but there is hope.  In this episode, we discuss: Is America really in a financial crisis? Bouncing back after losing your job. Why you need a money plan.Should you use cash or credit?What a rainy day fund is, how to create one, and so much more. If you are worried about debt, retirement, and your financial future, tune in as Dakota shares tips and strategies to help you begin to get your financial house in order.  Connect with Dakota: https://www.dakotagrady.com/ Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com  Use the code "LEADER" to get a FREE $10 to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app or call any expert you'd like.  Apple users, use this link - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll Android users, use this link - https://infinitycoaching.net/androidowwll

Imagine working closely with individuals whose actions determine whether you live or die. Or you frequently work long hours in high-stress, high-paced environments, sometimes in isolated locations far away from friends and family. Maybe you have had to miss special occasions, your child's memorable first, or you have had to work during the holidays. Many spend years in careers like this, and their experience shapes who they become. These individuals, Veterans, are those who have served in the United States military.  Individuals transitioning from the military can lose a part of themselves. According to the 2021 census, only 6.4% of the nation's adult population has served in the military. This creates a unique population that shares a common bond. However, many in society do not understand this experience, which makes it difficult for Veterans to transition back into society. This includes returning to what some would call a normal civilian life, obtaining a job, navigating family dynamics, and even attending college. In this episode,  Corporate Coach for Veterans Ahmad Burse joins us to discuss the Veteran transition. We talk about: The first 90 days after separating Challenges transitioning service members have  What it really means to say, "Thank you for your service,"Do all Veterans have some trauma they need to deal withThree things are Veterans need to have Key things employers need to consider when hiring or recruiting  VeteransAdvice for those working side by side with Veterans and more...Tune in as we dive into Veterans' challenges when transitioning from the military, starting a new career, and how employers can create an inclusive environment that welcomes those who have served our country.  Connect with Ahmad:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/burseconsulting/Website - http://www.burseconsulting.com/Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader and receive free credits to meet Carolyn or another expert on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll

Relationships are hard these days.  It is hard to find someone you want to be with, and it is hard to maintain the relationship. Too often, people will find out too late, after they say I do, that the person they married is not their person. Or we stay in relationships that are destructive and drain every ounce of life out of us. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. But if you peel the layers back, and you are honest, you will admit we don’t take time to do the work to prepare us to be in a healthy, viable, and adventurous relationship.  In this episode, men’s mental health coach and transformative leader William Baptiste joins us to talk about what it takes to become a husband.

Have you heard of the COVID 15? If you haven't, it is very similar to the freshman 15. You know you go off to college, and as you adjust to this new phase in life, you add about 15 pounds to your body. For the past few years, as a result of the COVID pandemic, many of us were primarily working at home, so we packed on a few extra pounds.  Working away in our homes, we became sedentary, did not take good care of our health, or practiced a solid self-care routine. Now that we are traveling again, going to networking events and conferences, or maybe going back into the office, even if it is just a few days a week, we have encountered a small, well, actually large problem. The clothes hanging in our closet no longer fit.   One of the best ways to combat disease, illness, or fatigue is to properly care for our minds, souls, and bodies. Now, we talk a lot about the first two, our minds and souls, on the show, but joining us today is Coach Larry Lee, who is going to discuss the third piece, our bodies.  In the episode, we discuss: Why failure is a part of success,Three words that can shape your commitment to anything, How overthinking can keep you stuck, Why it's all about YOUR journey, How being NEAT can make a difference, and The only piece of fitness equipment you need to get started and more...Tune in and learn why you need to stop overthinking, stop worrying about what other people think, and take control of your fitness, health, and life.

According to our guest today, we all have a hero inside of us. Yes, all of us. Not just me but even you too. But far too often, something stands in our way from letting the hero rise and guide us. What is this obstacle standing in our way? The Ego.  The Ego likes for us to stay safe and comfortable; there is only so much we can achieve, and we probably don't deserve it anyway. It's easy to see what "they" have that we don't have. We avoid taking risks and become stuck in a place where there is no growth. What if we can learn a different way to approach life, from an authenticity, allowing ourselves to be who we truly are with no shame, guilt, fear, or worry about what others think of us? Is it even possible in this world of social media and cancel culture?   In this episode, spiritual teacher, and personal transformation coach, Christian de la Huerta shares with us how we can begin to understand the ego and how we view power and tools to heal our egos to live a whole and authentic life.  We discuss:    Embarking on the "Heroes' Journey"    Emotions and the impact they have on us and our relationships  Why we need to redefine traditional male roles   If men should still be defined by the size of their paycheck and more...Tune in, learn how to say yes, and create a life you truly enjoy living.  Connect with Christian: https://soulfulpower.com/ Connect with Carolyn: https://carolyn360.com or use the code leader to meet Carolyn on the Owwll app - https://infinitycoaching.net/appleowwll.
