Most women don’t plan to become caregivers… it just happens.  One phone call. One fall. One moment where everything changes—and suddenly, you’re expected to know what to do next.   In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lindsay Friedman, a professional caregiver who’s seen this reality from every angle—first as a nursing assistant in memory care, hospice, and assisted living… and then as a family caregiver herself.  What she discovered is something so many women quietly face: it’s not just the caregiving that’s overwhelming… it’s the lack of a plan.  That realization led Lindsay to create tools and resources through her platforms—designed to help families understand the care journey ahead, navigate the financial side, and build the right support system before a crisis hits.  In our conversation, we talk about the real-life impact of unprepared caregiving—from financial strain to family stress—and how simple, proactive steps can protect your independence, your assets, and your peace of mind. You’ll also hear about her free resources, including a care trajectory tool and ebook, plus a special gift for listeners to help you take that first step with confidence.  This episode is about more than planning… It's about preserving dignity, choice, and a sense of calm in moments that can otherwise feel anything but.  So let’s call in Lindsay… and let’s Call IT in With Dar.  Support the show Full Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.com Photo credit: Rebecca Lange Photography  Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)   Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Anger gets a bad reputation… but what if it’s actually one of the most honest signals your body has?  There’s a whole range of emotion we’ve been taught to push down—and anger sits right at the center of it.   In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sandra Lee, who introduces us to a powerful new way of understanding emotion through The Spectrum of Anger™.  With over 30 years of experience—and a background as a Caltech-trained scientist—Sandra shares how high-performing women can stop holding themselves back, quiet that relentless inner critic, and start taking clear, confident action.   This conversation opens the door to seeing anger not as something to suppress… but as something to understand, work with, and even trust.  So let’s call it in! “Call IT in With Dar!”  Support the show Full Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.com Photo credit: Rebecca Lange Photography  Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)   Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

You don’t need to do everything perfectly to live a life that feels meaningful, peaceful… and truly your own.  In today’s episode, “Excellence Not Perfection,” I’m joined by Lisa Woodruff, who shares a refreshing and freeing perspective on how women can step out of overwhelm and into a life of greater purpose and ease.  Lisa opens up about her own journey—from feeling reactive, depressed, and constantly behind in her 30s and 40s… to becoming more positive, proactive, and grounded in her 50s. And what she discovered along the way might just change how you see your home, your time, and even yourself.  We talk about why overwhelm isn’t just a “busy mom” problem, the three key spaces to organize for your well-being, and the powerful shift from chasing perfection to becoming a woman of excellence—where your best is enough, and peace becomes possible.  You’ll also hear practical, real-life strategies—like creating a caregiver go-bag for those unexpected moments, and why letting go of things like “perfectly folded laundry” might be one of the most liberating decisions you ever make. This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of permission to stop trying to keep up… and start living in a way that truly supports you.  So let’s call Lisa… and let’s “Call IT in With Dar. “  Support the show Full Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.com Photo credit: Rebecca Lange Photography  Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)   Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

You weren’t meant to just get through life… you were made for magic.  In today’s episode, “Soul Satisfying Joy in Chaotic Times,” I’m joined by Elizabeth Webb—The Practical Priestess™—an expert in human behavior who’s spent over two decades helping people break free from what’s been weighing them down and step into a life they’re actually excited to wake up to.  We explore how emotional pain often shows up in the body, why joy isn’t something you wait for—but something you choose—and how reconnecting with your intuition, even in the middle of chaos, can lead you back to clarity, hope, and a deeper sense of peace.  This conversation is a powerful reminder that no matter what’s happening around you… you still get to create a life that feels rich, aligned, and deeply satisfying from the inside out.

What if the life you built—the one that looks successful from the outside—is quietly disconnecting you from who you really are? The title, the achievements, the “you’ve made it” moments…  And yet—there’s that voice that won’t go away: this isn’t all of me. Today’s guest didn’t ignore that voice—she followed it.  Priyanka Khandalkar started as an engineer, trained to think logically, build systems, and succeed by the rules. But she chose something bolder—walking away from the predictable to create impact, scale businesses with intention, and help women lead from a place that’s not just smart… but deeply aligned. In this episode, we’re talking about empowering women in a way that goes beyond strategy—into identity, courage, and the willingness to redefine success on your own terms.  So if something in your life looks “fine” … but doesn’t feel fully you anymore…  Then Call IT in with us!” Call IT in With Dar!”  Free Gift - https://scale.synrgee.net/sop-workbook Support the show Full Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.com Photo credit: Rebecca Lange Photography  Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)   Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

Today’s guest, Sophia Sol, carries a story that will stop you in your tracks. After enduring chronic pain, more than 30 surgeries, and navigating genetic conditions that could have defined her life, Sophia chose a different path. Instead of staying trapped in victimhood, she began exploring sound healing, breathwork, and deep spiritual reconnection — and everything shifted.  In this conversation, Sophia shares how she moved from surviving to self-empowered. We talk about radical responsibility, reclaiming self-worth, and the spiritual awakening that happens when you decide your life is still yours to shape. She introduces a powerful mirror exercise for self-acceptance — one that may feel simple but can profoundly change the way you see yourself.  We also explore the role of sisterhood and sacred community in helping women remember who they truly are. Sophia shares her Empowered Women’s Starter Kit — practical tools for meditation, confidence, and embodied wisdom — and leaves us with this truth:  You are not broken.  You are not behind.  You are magnificent.  And you are sacred.       Let’s “Call IT in With Dar”!  Support the show Full Show Notes can be found at CallITInPodcast.com Photo credit: Rebecca Lange Photography  Music credit: Kevin MacLeod Incompetech.com (licensed under Creative Commons)   Production credit: Erin Schenke @ Emerald Support Services LLC.

I’m joined by spiritual life coach Becca Briggs from Astoria, Oregon, who shares her courageous journey from surviving a toxic relationship to helping others heal deep emotional wounds and reclaim their lives.

This interview is with Edie Weinstein, a social worker, therapist, journalist, and interfaith minister who knows firsthand how life can change in an instant. At 55, she survived a heart attack and received a stent in her artery—a moment that became a profound wake-up call. Instead of letting fear define her future, Edie leaned into mindset, trauma awareness, and deep self-compassion as part of her healing.  She’s also the founder of Hug Mobsters Armed with Love, spreading the emotional and cardiac benefits of safe, intentional touch, and the creator of a strength-based therapeutic approach that helps people reclaim what’s right with them—using tools like vision boards and intentional focus.  Edie has even taken her message to the world stage with a TEDx talk on the healing power of touch, and checked off some pretty incredible bucket-list dreams along the way—including interviewing the Dalai Lama.  This is a conversation about healing, resilience, and choosing connection over fear—especially in the second half of life. “So let’s Call IT In With Dar”!  The LoveTunerThe Lovetuner is a simple flute is considered to be the vibration of love and compassion.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Today’s guest is a powerhouse for every woman who’s ever felt trapped in her own mind while her body was falling apart. Ellen Bereza spent 24 years as a biotech executive working in stem cells and genetic testing—until secondary progressive MS changed everything. But her story of loss began long before that. She lost her father to MS, then her mother to breast cancer, and just months later began experiencing the first signs of the same disease that took her dad. What followed wasn’t a miracle cure—it was years of grief, fear, and learning how to live when life doesn’t go back to normal.  Today, Ellen is a Certified Hypnotherapist, mindset strategist, and advanced student of Dr. Joe Dispenza, and the creator of Rehab for Overthinkers—a transformational workshop for women living with chronic illness who are stuck in fear, mental overload, and “what if” thinking. Her work blends neuroscience, subconscious re-patterning, and real-life experience to help high-functioning women stop fighting their minds—and finally create relief, clarity, and emotional steadiness from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts were making your symptoms worse… This conversation is for you.

Today I’m joined by Dr. Alison J. Kay, an internationally recognized expert in holistic healing, energy medicine, and applied mindfulness. Alison is an award-winning, #1 international bestselling author and the creator of the Vibrational UPgrade™ System, a powerful approach that blends ancient wisdom from Asia with modern science to help people live with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment.  In our conversation, entitled “A New Set Point for Innocence” Alison shares her personal journey into energy medicine and meditation, and why she believes that nearly 95% of our daily choices are unconscious—shaped by past experiences, societal conditioning, and subtle energetic patterns. She invites us to move out of “robotic mode” and into conscious living by working with subtle energy, mindfulness, and awareness. We explore the role of the heart chakra in receptivity and co-creation, how to recognize when you’re out of alignment with your higher purpose, and what it truly means to allow yourself to ask for more—more vitality, more joy, more possibility.
