Is it better to be the best or the happiest?
Success is often seen as a destination—an elusive summit that only a few can reach. However, in today's discussion, we challenge that notion.
Success is not just about scaling the heights; it's about fully embracing the adventure, discovering the profound impact you can make, and realizing the ever-present opportunities for growth.
Jason Thomas explores the idea that you don't have to be the best or the most famous to find joy and fulfillment. By embracing your authentic self, pursuing your passions, and letting go of the need to know it all, you can make a significant impact on people and places.
In this episode, Jason shares how pursuing passion doesn't always necessitate being in the spotlight and that being good at everything doesn't guarantee happiness; instead, it's the process of continuous learning and igniting new passions that truly lights the fire within.
So, don’t hesitate – Listen to this episode NOW!

It empowers us to take full responsibility for our own growth and well-being which allows us to navigate life's journey with authenticity and purpose.

Confidence is not about being perfect or having all the answers. It is about embracing our strengths, acknowledging our worth, and ultimately striving to be a better version of ourselves while continuously working towards self-improvement.
It is important to bear in mind that confidence is not about arrogance or self-centeredness. It is about recognizing your worth, embracing your unique qualities, and believing in yourself with humility and grace. Genuine confidence comes from a place of self-acceptance and self-love — acknowledging both your strengths and areas for growth.

She believed she could.
And so she did!
That’s Allison Walsh’s mantra in life. And that belief never failed to open opportunities for her.
Allison’s origin story started when she was 18—she started a nonprofit organization that was able to help thousands of people. From then on, she never stopped seizing opportunities not only for herself but also for others, allowing them to recognize their potential and to fully optimize it.
Allison is also a firm believer that you don’t need to wait for one season of your life to end to go get your dreams—that is, you don’t need to retire or wait toward the end of your career before you jump and pursue your passion. It’s all about getting that clarity and desire to meet at the right time.
And so when desire and clarity finally intersected in Allison’s life, she jumped in and took on another role up her shoulders—being a writer.
In her book, She Believed She Could: Show Up, Shine Bright, and Achieve Abundant Success, Allison memorializes her 20+ years of experience and accumulated knowledge from being an expert business consultant, international speaker and podcaster, and influential leader.
Tune in to this episode to know how “believing that she could” really allowed Allison to conquer the things that she really wanted and are in alignment with her core, true self.
Key Points From This Episode:
- Allison Walsh’s humble beginning: Starting a nonprofit at 18

Why do we write?
This question has been asked to many different people in many different times and circumstances. It’s both an easy and a difficult question, with many variations to its answer.
It is natural for people to tell stories. We do this every day, even without us noticing it. Like when you tell a workmate your interesting experience while commuting to work, or at dinner when you share with your family how your day went.
We all love to tell stories. Others just communicate it in a very special way—writing. And in that way, they’re somehow immortalizing their stories and making their life’s legacy.
When Estelle Erasmus left her job as a journalist to start her family, she never thought she could still go back. It was as if motherhood and being a writer were two totally different things impossible for someone to do at the same time.
But writing is a natural response to the great need for storytelling and communicating. After discovering how blogging works, mustering her courage to write again, and finding her voice, Estelle has slowly claimed her spotlight back in the world of writing with her articles published in the New York Times and Washington Post that have gone viral globally and her book, ‘Writing That Gets Noticed: Find Your Voice, Become a Better Storyteller, Get Published.’
In this episode, Estelle narrates her own writing journey and tells us how she shares the writing spotlight with her students, readers, and listeners, allowing them to find their own voice through writing.

Have you ever been in such a low point in life that you thought it’s almost impossible to get back up?
A heartache. A loss. Breaking up of an important relationship.
Life isn’t always gonna promise happiness, success, fulfillment, and all the lavish things we’d wish to have. There’s always gonna be a struggle. But that doesn’t mean they only bring ugliness. Sometimes, they’re catalysts for change too.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Rachel Harris, Ph.D., Author of Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground and Listening to Ayahuasca. Dr. Rachel talks about her book "Swimming in the Sacred" which features interviews with women elders who have been facilitating psychedelic healing journeys underground for decades. She shares that these women see themselves more as priestesses rather than therapists, focusing on helping people live up to their soul's purpose. Psychedelic journeys can help with conditions like PTSD and depression but integration is an ongoing process that psychotherapy can support.

Fathers have traditionally been viewed as the backbone of the family, the providers, the protectors. They work hard day in and day out so their family has everything they need.
Being a provider is no easy feat, and it can wear on anyone - no matter their gender. Providing for a family takes a lot of effort and energy, and it can lead to feeling burnt out and exhausted.
It's important to recognize that dads need support, just like everyone else. They need time to rest, recharge, and pursue their own dreams, hobbies, and interests. Dads also need to feel appreciated and recognized for the hard work they do.

“I was at that point in my life where I had finally found my freedom. Freedom from my disempowering stories. Freedom from my anxiety. Freedom from all the pains that every single human being on this planet has.” - Siri Lindley
True transformation involves more than adopting surface-level practices; it requires a profound shift from within. By cultivating a mindset of joy and gratitude, developing self-awareness, and embracing our passions, we can genuinely transform ourselves and radiate contagious positivity.
In this episode, I’m honored to be joined by Siri Lindley, former #1-ranked triathlete in the world, a two-time world champion, and winner of twelve ITU World Cup races. Listening to Siri has opened my eyes to so many valuable lessons, such as vulnerability and willingness to share your stories of struggles, focusing on everything that's right versus everything that's wrong, and understanding that the pain and discomfort of leaning into something that doesn't feel true to you are so much less than the pain of staying where you are.
Siri could not have stated it better when she dropped this gem: Every moment, every breath is this miracle, this gift. And oftentimes I could be in the midst of a stressful day, but all I have to do is put my hand on my heart and get present at the moment and think, “Wow, I'm alive! I get to live this life.” It’s a mindblowing mental shift that we all need to take to enjoy the possibilities and beauty that life has to offer.
As we own this transformative journey, we become living embodiments of joy and gratitude, inspiring others and creating a life filled with authentic fulfillment.

Women are powerful.
But we’re no superhero. We can't do it all. We shouldn't even feel like we have to be one in the first place.
Women now have the opportunity to earn degrees, pursue careers, take on leadership positions, and achieve their dreams. However, this recognition also comes with a new responsibility: the expectation to be everything to everyone and to do everything all at once.
But just like everyone else, we have great days and bad days at work at the same time that there is tension or chaos at home. We are allowed to feel and be tired. Let me reiterate: we can’t do it all and we shouldn’t force ourselves to do so.
In the midst of all this chaos and pressure, we should tread the path with balance. It’s important to show ourselves some grace.
So how can we foster that balance in us as women?
My guest, Teresa Rand, shares with us her insight to this question. For Teresa, it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people who see you for your strengths and who lift you up. It’s also about listening to your gut, to not be afraid to take risks and make mistakes.
Teresa is a cheerleader for women and an advocate for women's empowerment. She recognizes the distance women have come toward workforce equality and how much further there is to go. Her life mission is to help women leaders climb the career ladder and achieve inclusive leadership in the workforce.

Speaking our dreams, thoughts and goals out loud gives them power and intention.
We keep a lot to ourselves for the fear of failing or being judged. Or it could even be that we simply feel like we're not ready to share our aspirations with others.
But keeping things bottled up inside of us - both the good and the bad - can often hinder our progress and prevent us from reaching our full potential.
When we say something out loud, we bring it into the physical world and make it real. We make it tangible. By verbalizing our thoughts and goals, we make a commitment to ourselves to take action and work towards achieving them.
This episode left me feeling incredibly inspired. Vasavi Kumar's courageous story about her struggles with bipolar disorder refreshed my perspective about seeking support and being vulnerable enough to be helped. In this episode, she also talks about how she discovered her own voice, tapped into her creative spirit, and helped others along the way—all because she learned how to say it out loud.
Say it out loud and see the beauty of speaking things into existence, breaking barriers within, and bringing your own self-empowerment to light.

When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she made it her life’s purpose to understand how her mind works, starting with making room to hear herself think. Her mission is to share everything—the good, bad, and ugly—in order to teach a more mindful, practical, and simple way of running every aspect of your life.

At times, we may find ourselves pondering, "Why do I feel like I don't belong?" or "Why am I not good enough even though I have accomplished something?" leading us to believe that our achievements are just from pure luck.

We all have power within us. It’s there, just waiting to be unleashed.
We’re like objects who remain at rest until a force is acted upon us. This force is guised as challenges that prompt us to move and realize our real, fullest potential. And although we’d like to avoid tragedies and difficulties as much as we can, aside from that it’s inevitable, it also allows us to scrutinize ourselves much deeper—to introspect and get to know ourselves in a more profound way, even to surrender to our own truths.
Looking through yourself and finding your inner power will create astonishing outcomes!
Trust Bill Philipps, who is a shining example of someone who has tapped into his power and surrendered to his own truth. He will be joining me in this episode to share his story of how he discovered that trusting in himself and listening to his inner voice is the way to create a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.
How about you? Are you ready to surrender to your truth, believe in yourself, and unleash your full potential?
Thoughts to Empower:
- "The biggest obstacle is getting into your own power, your own belief, and not letting the outside world destroy what that feels like for you. That's the biggest lesson coming out of it: just to keep trusting—trust what your truth is." – Bill Philipps
- "If more people really owned their intuition instead of questioning it so much, we really would change the world." – Becca Powers
- "We have such a hidden superpower to tap into. To feel and think of what we want to experience, and then to vibrate that energy outside of ourselves." – Bill Philipps
- "When I trust the spirit and trust in the unfoldment, that's when the magic happens. That's where the healing and validation happen." – Bill Philipps

Self-discovery is a journey that we all need to take, and yet so few of us actually do.
And the truth is it can be difficult to see and appreciate the best things about us, let alone be confident with it because we can get overly critical about ourselves.
But here’s another truth: each of us has strengths, skills, talents, and capabilities that we can cultivate.
The question is: how can we unleash the best parts of us that are hidden deep within?
My friend, Stacey Shipman, has valuable insights about this million-dollar question. In this episode, Stacey shares with us her empowering story of how she unleashed her best self to reach her full potential. This took her years of constantly shifting and evolving, of feeling foolish, unprepared, embarrassed, and unconfident despite having the credentials and the experience.
Now, Stacey is determined to unleash the geniuses in all of us and to say that it’s okay to reveal your real self and uncover the best parts you might not know are hiding inside of you. Because who knows? It may be just what you need to shine and have opportunities come knocking at your door.
Thoughts to Empower:
- “You have to be willing to experiment, explore, change directions, and rest when needed.” - Stacey Shipman
- “We can take a rest when we need it. We can better express ourselves, what we need, our thoughts and ideas, and we can have better relationships with other people because we are grounded in who we are.” - Stacey Shipman
- “When we clear out all the clutter, there is a brightness to people, and you can see and feel it.” - Stacey Shipman
Key Points From This Episode:
- Stacey's stories, humor, and insights that can help drop behaviors that never felt natural
- Overcoming the lack of confidence and skills
- Harnessing that eagerness to achieve your desires
- Nurturing a deep a connection with yourself
- Being authentic can lead to more meaningful connections and better relationships
- Having a higher sense of wellbeing through better connections with yourself and people around you
About Stacey Shipman:Stacey is an event host, facilitator, singer, and writer here to remove formal protocols stifling personalities and ideas. Because you can’t express yourself or your genius hiding behind: “I’m too busy,” data, perfectionism, PowerPoints, collaborators who get all the credit, or the belief you need more credentials. Plus, human connection is impossible when you are acting like a robot. Boring, bland, and basic are default settings – not the only settings. Through Stacey's stories, humor, and insights, you will drop learned behavior that never felt natural in the first place, step out of the conventional bubble, and engage clients, peers, prospects - anyone - with who you really are.

It’s human nature to feel insecure and question our worth. In fact, not a day goes by where we are clouded with negative thoughts of unworthiness and not being enough.
How can we prove ourselves worthy? Worthy not just of the job title or position we hold, but even the success we are enjoying in our careers.
In a competitive environment like the workplace, there are times when we are afraid to speak our minds because when we do, our peers and colleagues might not understand, recognize or acknowledge our thoughts and actions.
This is a sign of invisibility in the workplace that can lower your self-esteem.
Remember: no one is perfect. We are all lacking in our own ways, and recognizing our flaws and imperfections is a brave first step towards becoming a better version of yourself. While it may seem simple or little, shifting your mindset can make a world of difference.
That is why I am delighted to have Susan Barber with me in this episode. She shares her story: from being invisible in the workplace to finally becoming seen - and now a successful author and a podcast host. She is passionate about creating a visibility movement in the workplace to bring out people's skills to the fullest.
Visibility is a work in progress. You might not see it in you now, but with the right support system, it would come out of you. And with people like Susan leading the way, the future looks bright for those who are ready to make their voices heard. Who knows? You might also become one of the successful people who would share their story and inspire others someday!
Thoughts to Empower:
- “You don’t have to be like everybody else, and you can do it in small simple steps.” - Susan Barber
- “With visibility comes the responsibility to lead and check in on people and make sure people are okay. You can't have visibility without psychological safety. You just can't.” - Susan Barber
- “Start to look at yourself and the great things that you've already done and how you can use and show those off a bit more so that people can see you.” - Susan Barber
Key Points From This Episode:
- Susan’s backstory and how she came up with the idea for her work, “The Visibility Factor”
- How her self-discovery helped her visibility at work and at home
- How fulfillment comes from the acceptance of our uniqueness
- Being exposed to and overcoming Imposter Syndrome
- How to improve visibility in your space authentically
- Handling introverts in a workplace as a leader
- Importance of an inspiration to boost self-confidence

I hate to say it, but I’ll say it. We live in a world where passion and creativity are often sidelined because tenacity in the workplace is rewarded instead. We’re so used to killing ourselves at work so we can stay ahead - or even just to keep afloat - and in the process, we neglect our inner child and are unable to tap into the ability to dream, imagine, build and express.
This week, my good friend Kate Volmon joins me on the show and shares some sacred thoughts we should all keep in mind:
We are all creative. We are all artists. We are all meant to create.So it is not a question of if, but how and when. As Kate shares, that creativity is inside all of us, ready to be unleashed for the world to witness. And this artistry can be in the form of a painting or digital art. It could be a song you’ve composed based on something you’ve experienced in the past. It could be a book chronicling some of your most insightful discoveries that so many others can learn from. Or it could even be a podcast like this that evokes a strong sense of calling to live a life of joy, freedom and peace.
This episode is filled with Kate’s life-changing experiences and nuggets of wisdom about awakening the inner creatives within us. While igniting our creativity may not always come naturally, we need to tap into the elements that bring our inner creatives to life. Join us and be inspired to let your creativity guide you down the path to limitless joy and a deep sense of empowerment.

Here’s one of the world’s most ridiculous takes: Burnout is a myth.
Naysayers believe burnout is an excuse to laziness and inefficiency. Working long hours, replacing sleep with doing academic requirements, stretching yourself thin to accommodate the people in your life—apparently, these activities have been normalized that it doesn’t cause fatigue to humans.
But even machines need to rest too if it’s been utilized for too long.
Burnout is as true as it can be. Now, more than ever, it needs to be talked about.
Here we discuss how burnout can be rooted in different facets of someone’s life; it isn’t just overfatigued or tiredness from overworking. Burnout can be a manifestation of a much more dangerous issue; it can also be a factor that changes a person’s lifestyle, affecting relationships and the environment around you.
This is only a glimpse of what we have in store for you. There is more knowledge in store for you in this episode of The emPOWERed Half Hour.

There is power in every story.
And so as I begin our journey together here in The EmPOWERed Half Hour, let me share mine.
Life has its ups and downs. And it’s funny how sometimes when we thought we’re on the road to achieving that much-desired success—we’re busy, we have a successful career, leading our teams, achieving quotas and all that—that we find ourselves in our lowest lows. We’re losing time for our loved ones; we’re no longer fulfilled; burnout is nudging; we don’t feel purposeful anymore.
But in the moment of utter hopelessness is where we also discover the power within us.
I hold onto that power until now, and that’s why I’m here, using this platform in order to touch lives and empower others.
There are so many stories I wish to share with you: stories of highs and lows, of losses and triumphs, of overcoming and thriving. So sit back and listen to The EmPOWERed Half Hour.
