Billy's family immigrated to the United States when he was 10 years old, moving first to California and then later to Nebraska. As a teenager, Billy began rapping as a way for him to express himself but found he loved the craft.

From owning real estate, companies, a podcast host, becoming a published author and working with artists like Kevin Gates, Baby Bash, SPM, MC Magic, Chalie Boy, Grammy winners AKWID, DJ Kane of the Kumbia Kings and more, Billy has made a mark and his mark will only get bigger. In this episode, we're diving into Billy's, someone who's all-in on personal growth and self-improvement. He's got a unique take on the ups and downs of this journey, and it's all about keeping it real and staying true to yourself. According to Billy, connecting with the right people at the right time can do wonders for personal growth. He's big on being genuine and not faking it. He's also a fan of staying humble and finding the funny side of life – two things he sees as key to staying happy while you're at it. Tune in to hear Amberly Lago and Billy Dha Kidd dive into these ideas and more. If you're into practical advice on personal growth and the importance of being authentic, this one's for you. Here's a breakdown of what we'll be covering in this episode: - Billy's experience of learning English and relocating to the U.S. during his childhood, way beyond his comfort zone (7:30) - Coping strategies when the urge to numb discomfort arises (19:15) - Distinguishing between ego and experience (27:05) - Exploring the role of compassion in our lives (33:26) - Embracing the significance of staying true to your authentic self (43:22) Links mentioned in this episode:

“If I have the power to make myself sick, I have the power to make myself well.” That's what my friend Melody told herself when she was battling health issues early in her life. After a powerful experience of changing her health, she realized there was more to self-empowerment than she had been raised to believe. She is an amazing example of taking her own journey of resilience and grit and turning it into a path for grace for all girls. I have followed Melody's work for years and to have her on the show is such an honor!
Melody Pourmoradi, the author of “XOXO From A Girl Who Gets It“, Certified Empowerment Coach, Twin Girl Mama, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Certification Program truly believes that empowered women empower girls – so much so that she's made it her life’s work to train passionate women to claim true empowerment for themselves so that they can share it with the girls in their lives and pave the way for our future female leaders.
Melody studied Business and Psychology at York University in Toronto while working in her family business, Robely Trading. Operating in two such different worlds proved her love for all things human potential AND business. She quickly learned that whatever she would be doing in the world would involve both things. After university she started exploring the world of coaching and other healing modalities and starting aligning herself with leaders and spaces that would help her grow that part of her interest. She studied at IPEC Coaching, an ICF accredited program and then moved on to also learn at Institute for Integrative Nutrition {IIN}.
In this episode, Melody shares the stories behind how she created the GirlLifeEmpowerment movement, why it matters so much to remind young women how powerful they are, and what is possible when you follow your gut and go for the thing you really want.
Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this episode:
- How changing her belief systems changed Melody holistically (4:33)
- Ways to overcome anxiety (15:29)
- Why loving yourself helps to build self confidence (23:10)
- The power of influencing young girls through books (31:04)

In today's podcast, I share some big news!! For the first time in the show's history, I will be taking a break to prioritize my well-being and allow myself some much-needed rest. But don't worry, I'll return soon! My mind, body, and spirit have all been urging me to take a breather, and I'm finally listening. As a result, the podcast will be on a seasonal hiatus for a while, and I'll keep you informed about the next season's release.
In this episode, I'll discuss why I decided to take a break from podcasting this summer, the significance of rest in building resilience, and how grit and grace relate to taking breaks. I hope that you view this as a source of inspiration or permission to take a break as well. It may be difficult, but it's worthwhile.

We're talking about addiction and sobriety in a new way on the show. You know I've been on my own journey with sobriety for several years now, and it's a daily choice. Part of my purpose is transforming my pain into helping others to rise above whatever circumstances may be driving them towards addiction. My friend Dr. Robb Kelly knows so much about how to do this. Being a recovered alcoholic himself, he helps addicts understand their family's role in their addiction in order to become sober for good. Here's just one insight he started off with: “Alcoholics are born, drug addicts are made.”
Robb Kelly, PhD is a world-renowned addiction expert who believes in treating the problem, not the symptoms. He has worked for many years helping addicts and alcoholics to recover their lives from the disease of addiction. Based on his own experiences working with addicts and alcoholics over the last 20 years, combined with a PhD in psychology, and as a recovered alcoholic himself – he is a triple threat against the disease of addiction. Dr. Kelly’s philosophy may seem unconventional and unorthodox. But, they are based on extensive research and behavior studies that he conducted over the last 20 years. He pulls the disease out of his clients and empowers them to fight their disease head on.
Some people have referred to him as “The Gordon Ramsay of the Addiction World” because of his direct, no-nonsense, and candid approach to recovery. He has discovered that in order to get his clients to change their thinking, they must confront their disease with candor and vigor. Dr. Kelly works to “make the road of recovery less of a mystery tour.” Robb Kelly, PhD has worked with thousands of people including celebrities of film, music, and sports. He has lectured at many high profile universities and hospitals on the subject of addiction, and is recognized as a leading authority on addiction recovery methods that are changing lives all around the world. Today, he is living his dream, instead of dreaming of living.
In this episode, Dr. Robb shares powerful insights into addiction, sobriety, healing our bodies and minds, and much more. He is so generous, he even shared his personal cell phone number at the end of the episode to be available to anyone facing an addiction crisis!
Here’s what you will learn:
- The ways that drug addiction differs from alcoholism (8:33)
- Why somatic experience works (13:21)
- How alcoholics respond to tone (20:10)

This week’s guest made such an impact on me the first time I had her on True Grit and Grace, I invited her back as a repeat guest! Not only did we get to catch up in person and in studio, it also gave us a chance to catch up on her new book. If you're struggling to find happiness and peace amidst a stressful circumstance or huge growth chapter, this conversation is for you.
Author, Catalyst, and Executive Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. Laura’s rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governor’s presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clinton’s White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.
She left a leadership role as the youngest Vice President at a nationally respected search firm when she realized that her boss’s definition of success didn’t align with hers and, instead, founded and ran one of the fastest growing search firms in the country, partnering with the full gamut of mission-driven executives, from start-up dreamers to scaling social entrepreneurs to global philanthropists. In 2015, Laura sold that firm to the team who helped her build it, both because she was hungry for the next chapter and because she held an audacious dream of electing our nation’s first female president. (Whomp whomp.)
Since that time, Laura has appeared regularly on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, and her writing has been seen in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, HR Magazine. Laura is the author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life (2019), which debuted at #2 on the Washington Post bestseller list (right behind Michelle Obama), has been translated into Arabic, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, and German, and which Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts chose as one of her Favorite Books of 2019, as well as Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose (2015). Her forthcoming book, Wonderhell, is expected in April 2023.
In this episode, Laura teaches you how to manage success when you achieve it, how to stay healthy amidst a busy schedule, and how to understand your own potential in a way that nourishes happiness instead of anxiety.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How to find and release the burden of your potential (5:21)
- How to spot energy vampires and protect yourself from them (14:30)
- How to overcome your limits by casting out seeds of doubt (22:29)
- Why imperfection is part of our collective truth (33:27)
- How to understand seasons and when enough is enough (44:20)
- Discover the 4 building blocks of good health to help you to succeed (53:28)

I am bringing a powerhouse onto the show today -- and she has a really empowering message to share with you. Rachel just published a book called Permission to Offend, so buckle up for this one.
Rachel Luna is a Certified Master Neuroscience & Life Coach, international speaker, and host of the top rated podcast, Permission to Offend where she talks faith, worth and wealth. Forbes rated her one of the Top 11 Inspiring Female Entrepreneurs to Follow on Instagram (@GirlConfident) and her work, which goes beyond cliches, rah-rah speeches and platitudes and dives deep into the root of the issue, has been featured in Success, Latina, Huffington Post and on Lifetime TV.
Born and raised in New York City, Rachel, who calls herself, “A magnet for miracles,” comes from a life of resilience. Despite losing both her parents to AIDS, struggling with eating disorders in her teens and battling alcoholism and depression in her early 20’s, Rachel has never allowed herself to be limited by life circumstances. Instead, she persevered and when she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in the summer of 2019, Rachel tackled it the same way she does everything – with grit, tenacity, faith & confidence.
These experiences, along with her decade of service in the United States Marine Corps and tour of duty in Iraq during Operation Iraqi/Enduring Freedom have given her the strength and ability to not only handle adversity, but to thrive in it. Her courses have helped over 3,000 women (and a few fellas) gain clarity, confidence and massive business growth, many of whom have crossed into six and seven figures with ease. Rachel has helped thousands of people around the world (over 90 countries to be exact) through her weekly podcast episodes, email newsletters, speaking tours, and workshops.
In this episode, Rachel shares her best tips for building confidence to own your voice, letting go of worry about what people think, and giving your best contribution to the world.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Why opportunities for nurturing relationships can help you grow your brand (6:20)
- How to break free from the fear of rejection (16:14)
- Doing things deliberately can help you to find purpose (24:07)

Justin Schenck is the host of the INC Magazine top rated podcast the Growth Now Movement and host of the world renowned event Growth Now Movement LIVE! But, it wasn’t always like that. He found himself with a 1.7 GPA, while his mom was in the middle of a 20 year opioid battle and his dad was in jail. All signs pointed to no hope.

Now it gets played in over 100 countries every single week, he speaks all over the country on overcoming adversity, and most importantly, he's discovered that we all have the power to create our own happiness, to grow into the person we were meant to be, and that we can all create the life we truly desire. In this episode, Justin tells the powerful stories from his own life of how he has committed to her personal growth no matter what, how he has learned to build healthy, thriving relationships, and what it takes for you to do the same. I hope you'll join us in person in March to hear Justin speak on stage at the Unstoppable Success Summit!

Imagine being a successful actor, model, entrepreneur, podcaster, author, and lifestyle entrepreneur. That's what my friend Cary is and when you hear his story of how he learned to pursue and balance all of those roles *while* staying healthy and happy, you won't look at life the same way again. Spoiler alert: he told me that one of the keys is to give yourself grace.

It's time to break free and live the life your soul is begging you to live!
In today's episode learn practical steps to shift your mindset, unshackle yourself from limiting beliefs, and seize the fire of inspired work to ascend to new professional heights and transcend personal setbacks.
I can't wait for you to meet my dear friend and soul sister Elizabeth Pearson! She is a Professional Coach, Spiritual Seeker, Author, Wife, and Mom who specializes in getting women "unstuck" so they can achieve their highest goals. In her 15-yr sales career, she generated and managed over $20 million of business for both large corporations and scrappy startups. She is successful because of the sky-high expectations she sets for herself coupled with a never-give-up attitude -- both attributes she now instills in her clients so they can crush whatever goals they have for themselves.
So why did she ditch her lucrative (and cushy) career in sales to start her own coaching business? Because being of service to other women is her true passion; not making rich people richer. Over the last 7 years, she became an insatiable student of personal and professional development. In the meantime, she gave birth to 2 children, moved cross-country, and battled chronic pain and past traumas. Her mission is to leave this earth knowing that she made a positive impact on other women's lives and inspired them to follow their passions and achieve greatness.
In this episode Elizabeth shares wisdom from her new book, "Career Confinement, How to Free Yourself, Find Your Guides, and Seize the Fire of Inspired Work."
She gives helpful tips about how to move through pain, build on joy, and create sustainable success.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How seeing her husband in pain taught Elizabeth life lessons (6:30)
- Why allowing yourself to cry can help to cope (14:28)
- The importance of building joy over pain (23:21)
- Realizing that excitement and hope are a part of success (30:46)
- Why preparation is essential to speaking up (37:29)
- How tapping can help in centering yourself (44:15)

DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE WHO GASLIGHT YOU OR REGULARLY DROP ONE OR MORE OF THESE PHRASES ON YOU?
"You are crazy."
"You are just insecure and jealous."
"You are too sensitive and you are overreacting."
"It was just a joke. You have no sense of humor."
"You are the problem here, not me."
"But what about your issues?"
"You're the only one that thinks like that'"
"Look at all I do for you. What more do you want from me?"
If so, you are probably dealing with a NARCISSIST.
This week, I'm welcoming my good friend Rebecca Zung to the show for a revealing discussion on how to deal with narcissists, negotiate better, uncover how to deal with a toxic relationship and so much more.
Something we don't often talk about on this show is what to do when you are in a toxic relationship (personal, business, or otherwise) and need the tools to get out. But it's something that most of us face at some point in our lives and it can really test our grit and grace.
Rebecca Zung is one of the Top 1% of attorneys in the nation, having been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a “Best Lawyer in America”, as “Legal Elite” by Trend Magazine, and recognized by her peers and the judiciary as AV(c), preeminent rated in family law, the highest possible rating for an attorney by Martindale Hubbell. But her journey wasn’t always easy. Married at 19 the first time, she had 3 children by the age of 23 and then was a divorced single mom when she decided to go back to law school. She went from being a single mom, college dropout, to becoming one the most powerful lawyers in the country at the helm of a multi-million dollar practice. She is now committed to sharing her secrets and empowering others to live their lives at their optimum level of success, professionally and personally.
She is the author of the bestselling books, Negotiate Like You M.A.T.T.E.R.: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win (foreword by Robert Shapiro) and Breaking Free: A Step-by-Step Divorce Guide for Achieving Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Freedom, and is a sought after major media contributor.
Her perspectives are in high demand by television and print outlets, as she has been featured in or on Extra, Forbes, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time, Dr. Drew, NPR Talk Radio, Good Day New York and CBS Los Angeles among others.
Now, Rebecca remains a partner in Long, Murphy & Zung, and is based in Los Angeles and Florida. She is continuing to serve through her incredible on-demand programs such as S.LA.Y. Your Negotiation With a Narcissist, and the Divorce Delete-Alt-Control Masterclasses. She is also the host of the popular show Negotiate Your Best Life™ which is available on YouTube and as a Top Podcast, and also is a frequent keynote speaker.
In this episode Rebecca shares how to identify when you are dealing with a narcissist, how to build your confidence to negotiate for what you want, and the keys to navigating challenging relationships in all situations.
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- What is a narcissist? (3:20)
- Navigating narcissism in the workplace (12:54)
- Negotiating with a narcissist (21:40)
- Begin to build your confidence (31:27)
- The importance of not defending yourself (37:29)
- How SLAY works in negotiation (44:33)

You've probably heard me talk about Nootopia products on the podcast recently -- it's because I really love them and how they make me feel. But I also wanted to share the story behind how they were developed and brought to market because it is amazing. I got to record a conversation with the co-founder of Nootopia, "Mr. Noots" and I know you'll be inspired by his story of resilience. Most of all I am excited to share how you can go from being sick to superhuman!
Mark Effinger is a seasoned entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial business champion. Working with CEOs, company founders and management remains a great passion for him. Mark spent much of his 20’s in the US Air Force, playing with aircraft at a deeply technical level. The Air Force provided the perfect platform to become an endurance bicyclist, hang glider pilot, motorcycle canyon carver, and eventually training in bodybuilding. These adrenaline-fueled activities inspired the spirit and insight of what it feels to be indomitable. To operate well under pressure. To thrive while on the edge.
The death of his former wife from a painkiller overdose put him on the path to creating high-performance experiential nutritional supplements. After 4 years of development, he released a product often considered the "Limitless NZT-48" as in the movie. He applied LEAN Startup methodologies, bootstrapped it, and has experienced 3500% growth over the first year (now 5,100% over 29 months). He specializes in Biochemistry, Nootropic Development, Hormone Optimization, Brain Optimization, and Product development.
Since that time, Mark and the BiOptimizers/Nootopia development team and labs have continued solving some of the greatest challenges presented to us by our clients. Whether mind, body, energy, sex, sleep, drive, focus, depression, aging, athletic performance, neurological decay, cardiovascular problems… if it’s a human condition issue, they strive to address it in the most effective and healthy manner possible.
In this episode Mark shares the incredible story full of highs, lows, grit, and grace of how he learned to manage nerve pain, loss, breakthrough, and success through business and health. It's a powerful story that I am inspired by!
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Mark first dealt with nerve damage and went from sick to superhuman (4:18)
- How his mushroom supplement has been really helpful to people with chronic pain (12:50)
- Why negative triggers give a cortisol rush that affects your entire day (20:31)
- Ways to find the silver linings in great loss (31:53)
- How nootropics work (40:38)
- How to reverse your brains deficiencies and permanently level up your mental endurance (48:23)

Have you ever been frustrated with what you're eating and how it's affecting your body? Has it been hard to find answers, explanations, and solutions that work? You are not alone and my guest today has been right there with you. As she told me in our conversation, we live with "a food industry that pays no attention to health and a health industry that pays no attention to food."
Rachel Scheer is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics. Rachel has her own private nutrition and counseling practice located in McKinney, Texas. If your goal is to optimize your hormones and gut health, have better energy, or lose weight and keep it off Rachel can help you!
Rachel’s journey as a nutrition coach began in weight-loss and athletic performance. However, a couple years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction (IBS.) After many false diagnoses, spending thousands of dollars on doctor visits and tests, and one doctor even suggesting the removal of her entire large intestine, Rachel decided to take her health into her own hands.
Using her knowledge in nutrition and dietetics Rachel became an expert on gut health and hormonal balance and completed her certification in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. Rachel says “using a functional approach and focusing on the health of the gut microbiome saved [her] life. All disease begins and ends in the gut, so rather than putting a ‘band-aid’ over an issue I.e. medications/drugs/surgery, we need to get to the root cause and that’s what functional medicine comes in. My gut issues came from a bacteria imbalance or gut dysbiosis, and once I was able to address that through diet, stress, supplements, and lifestyle changes I was able to heal my body and avoid surgery.”
In this episode Rachel shares the path she took to figuring out her own health, learning how to eat right for her body, and learning how to find the wisdom and science that works. If you have been struggling to find a food method that keeps you healthy, this will be a powerful conversation to hear!
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Rachel found her fitness and wellness path (3:29)
- Getting to the root of gut health (13:48)
- Uncovering how leaky gut and food sensitivities develop (22:51)
- Understanding how sugars, alcohol, oils, and artificial sweeteners feed bad bacteria (28:56)
- Why cleaning with gloves and masks is essential (33:28)
- Bridging the gap between fitness, wellness and western medicine (42:17)
- The importance of being intentional with the food you put in to your body (53:26)

I met Charlie backstage at a Tony Robbins event, and was immediately drawn to him and his contagious, positive energy. We talked about shared suffering and how sobriety and fitness has transformed our lives. He has such an incredible story, I was thrilled when he accepted the invite to share it on the podcast with you.
Charlie Engle is a writer, runner, recovering addict, and keynote speaker. As he puts it, he's an addict who runs and a runner who writes. He's run across deserts, summited ice-covered volcanoes, swam with crocodiles and served a stint in federal prison. But his greatest challenge is the one he takes on every single day—sobriety. He has been clean and sober since July 23rd, 1992.
As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren’t far enough, he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for thirty-five, fifty, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. The Matt Damon-produced documentary, Running the Sahara, followed Engle as he lead a team on a harrowing, record breaking 4,500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, which helped raise millions of dollars for charity.
In his memoir Running Man, Charlie tells the surprising, funny, and emotional story of his life, detailing his setbacks and struggles—from coping with addiction to serving time in prison—and how he blazed a path to freedom by putting one foot in front of the other.
In this episode Charlie tells the stories of addiction, recovery, prison, sobriety, running, and overcoming struggles with grit and grace. He is a true inspiration, a treasured friend, a light in the world and in my life, and you will get so much out of listening to this episode!
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How to welcome suffering when it enters your life and learn some of the greatest lessons (3:41)
- How to keep forward momentum going. From addict to record-breaking ultra runner (12:09)
- A way to publicly share your sobriety story (21:04)
- Why owning your own struggle can be so powerful. "The addict part of me is the best part of me," says Charlie (28:31)
- How Charlie uses breathwork and meditation to prepare for speaking (34:27)
- What he learned about moving your body from his time in prison (42:38)
- How wearable devices help in life coaching (54:22)
- Learn more about his 30 year sobriety milestone and how he plans to celebrate by running for 30 hours!!

All the hard work, grit, grace, and hustle we put into our lives, careers, and health can end up meaning very little if we neglect our most important relationships -- our family. That's why I loved talking with Jim & Jamie about building lasting, quality family relationships.
When 18 Summers founders Jim and Jamie Sheils first met, they faced a whole new challenge. Suddenly, they were a blended family, with the challenges of disconnection and time scarcity that all families face. It was Family Board Meetings that bridged the gap, helping a new family connect, and helping the kids find a sure footing on uncertain ground. Now, through 18 Summers, Jim and Jamie reach families and organizations around the world, helping them discover the benefits of quality time and enduring relationships.
Jamie Sheils founded Florida’s only Waldorf-inspired public charter school and directed a Public Montessori Charter School and has developed and implemented programs in several other public and private schools. She is the grateful ringleader of four beautiful children, ranging in age from toddler to teen. Along with her husband Jim Sheils, entrepreneur and author of The Family Board Meeting, she founded the 18 Summers movement.
When YPO, EO, Harvard University and other world-class organizations want to help their people to succeed at home, they call on Jim Sheils. There’s a reason people call him “Crazy Glue for families.” In keynote presentations, workshops, team events, or private consulting, Jim has helped hundreds of the top entrepreneurs and thought leaders around the world focus and implement where it really counts, at home.
In this episode Jim & Jamie share the wisdom behind growing a close-knit family, balancing each of the important parts of life, and intentionally choosing a lifestyle that supports your core values and relationships
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How and Jim and Jamie met (2:15)
- The story behind creating the 18 summers project (11:29)
- Why being intentional about family time is important for busy entrepreneurs (17:41)
- How a sincere apology can go a long way (21:22)
- How to build relationships with your partner and your kids (29:48)
- Why questions around their blended family led Jim & Jamie to writing a book (34:26)

Addiction doesn't discriminate. All of us have either struggled with our own addictions, we have a loved one that has battled addiction, or know someone that is still challenged with some kind of addiction. Now more than ever, people are addicted to their phones, shopping, working, drugs, alcohol, food and even dating as a way to numb out pain. Now more than ever, drug abuse and alcohol addiction is on the rise.
Environmental factors, stress at home and at work, depression, fear and what is going on in the world can lead to addiction, but there are ways to start living a fuller life by changing your belief system. That's why I am so grateful to have my friend Todd Sylvester on the podcast to equip you with exactly what you need to start your journey to a healthier and happier life by putting life-changing principles into action.

His ability to “speak to a person’s soul and help them find their true motive to change” has been the key to inspiring others to make permanent lifestyle changes.
In this episode Todd shares the story of how he fell into addiction, hit rock bottom, and reinvented his mind and heart through recovery, coaching, and mental health. This conversation is so valuable to guide you through changing your perspective to believe in and love yourself more.

I'm practicing what I preach today and getting on the mic for a solocast about how I have been managing anxiety and fear lately. Even though you have made this a Top 1% podcast Globally (THANK YOU!!!) and you send me the most wonderful messages about how the show has impacted you, I still get a little nervous about doing solocasts. In fact, I have lots of butterflies in my stomach about soooo many things lately, ESPECIALLY to something that might surprise you! I agreed to play in a celebrity softball tournament and I am not just overcoming my fear of being hit in the face with a ball, but also overcoming my anxiety about playing in front of the expected 15,000 people that will be at Globe Life Field--the home of The Texas Rangers!!
Until last week, I had never pitched a ball or been up to bat. Thanks to Coach Ruby (AKA my 14 year old daughter) I have been practicing every day and learned terms like "refuse to lose" and "keep your eye on the ball." I am always up for a good challenge and I can promise you one thing...it will be definitely be entertaining and I will show you first hand how to walk through your fears if you come to see me play ball! So far we have lost three balls over fences and in a pond, I have been hit in the face with a ball, and had one bloody nose. But along the way there have been lots of deep belly laughs, tons of learning and so far I am getting a little better every day.
In this episode I share some of the best ways I've learned to manage anxiety, including stories of specific events that have pushed me to face my fears. You'll also hear from the founder of The Celebrity Softball Classic, Tim "TK" Lund and the whole story behind it, including how you can buy tickets to come see it!
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How action steps can help you through anxiety (3:47)
- The importance of hard work. The will to win is not nearly so important as the will to prepare to win (8:30)
- How connection with others is essential to the journey. WE not me attitude. (13:23)
- Don't rely on motivation but instead on your healthy habits (21:09)
- Opportunities may knock, but you must open the door(24:17)
- It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up (25:00)
- How movement moves your mood and the importance of the right supplements (27:10)

In honor of Alcohol Awareness Month I am excited to bring you a conversation with my dear friend Michelle Smith who is normalizing sobriety in our boozy culture.
Michelle left corporate after 20 years with nothing more than passion, a laptop, and a dream. She is proud to have created "Recovery is the New Black," a digital community that touches thousands. Her passion for maternal mental health emerged after becoming a mother herself. Alcohol became a coping tool, eventually resulting in severe alcohol use disorder. Her unique blend of education and personal experience serves her well in supporting moms postpartum who are reaching for alcohol to cope with the hard seasons of motherhood.
As an educated professional working in the addiction field, she never imagined she would find myself struggling to find a healthy relationship with alcohol. She has learned no amount of alcohol is good for her, and she is far from alone. Addiction does not discriminate, and no one is immune. She went from a depressed, anxious mom using alcohol daily to numb, to living a life of confidence, freedom, and purpose. She recovers out loud to let others know alcohol is not an accessory to motherhood.
Michelle and I talk about how anyone can find themselves struggling with addiction, what to do when you realize you want to change, and why you are not alone if you want to live sober and happy.
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Michelle recognized her own harmful behavior (5:21)
- How addiction doesn't discriminate and how reaching for mind altering chemicals to feel better is a slippery slope (12:03)
- Why confronting recovery is difficult but lifesaving (20:31)
- Myths about drinking alcohol (22:00)
- How to let go of shame, embrace change and claim your happiness (27:44)
- How alcohol keeps you from getting restorative sleep (32:19)
- Why accountability was important to Michelle sharing her story (41:53)

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is a special one. I got to actually sit down with my guests in real life and talk about the incredible story of resilience that they have lived.
When American kayaker Cliff Meidl led Team USA into the stadium at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Sydney, nearly two billion television viewers were watching globally. Millions of Americans learned of the amazing comeback he made from a tragic near-death construction accident when he was 20 years old.
Working on a construction site in 1986, Cliff was operating a jackhammer and within moments “the lights went out” for him. He had made contact with three live electrical cables suffering cardiac arrest due to the severe electrical shock. In addition, Cliff also sustained serious electrical burns and exit wounds over fifteen percent of his body with major damage to both knees. Nearly a third of each knee compartment was disintegrated.
Fortunately, first responders arrived quickly and saved Cliff’s life. Cliff’s battles were not over yet. Due to the severe damage to both legs, doctors were recommending amputation. Cliff’s family was able to find UCLA Medical Center Plastic Surgeon Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, who devised an innovative procedure and was able to help save Cliff’s legs.
As they say, “the rest is history.” Several years later through many surgical procedures and an extensive rehabilitation process, Cliff was able to gain enough mobility to walk again (to the amazement of his doctors). Nearly ten years after his horrific accident and his commitment and dedication to battle through adversity, Cliff realized his dream when he marched into the Opening Ceremonies of the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta as a member of the USA Olympic Kayaking Team.
Four years later at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Cliff competed again in his second Olympics and received one of the highest honors as an Olympian. He was selected by his peers to carry the Unites States flag during the Opening Ceremony. Following the Games, he received a number of honors including the “Arete Courage in Sports Award,” the Philadelphia Sportswriters “Courage Award,” the Los Angeles Marathon “Patsy Choco Award,” and many more. In addition, Cliff was named as one of the 20 all-time inspirational Olympians for the “Olympian Heroes Series,” and continues to receive national and international media coverage through his spokesperson and motivational speaking events.
I sat down with both Cliff and Dr. Malcolm to talk about this powerful story, with their decades of perspective on how it has unfolded. I can't wait for you to hear what they had to say!
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Cliff’s life changed when he had a major accident (1:34)
- How hope can help in recovery (20:31)
- Teamwork and having someone believe in you can help you overcome trauma, challenges, and adversity (22:25)
- The importance of micro-steps (31:11)
- Why believing in something bigger than yourself is essential (40:39)

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is about a subject that is close to my heart: ADDICTION. What I have learned is addiction doesn't discriminate. Whenever I talk to others in recovery who have claimed a life of sobriety, I am always uplifted and inspired by the daily choices they make to live in gratitude and to be of service to others. This is a powerful conversation about addiction, recovery, sobriety and spiritual transformation that will nourish your soul. It's about finding the grit to persevere through life's toughest challenges and giving yourself the grace to do it with kindness. I couldn't be more excited to introduce you to today's guest, Brad Jensen, who just happens to have "GRIT" and "GRACE" tattooed on his knuckles. Brad's passion for the fitness industry has been engrained into his life since he was 14 years old. The minute he picked up his first fitness and nutrition magazine, he knew that it was what he was born to do. He became NASM and ACE certified so that he could understand all parts of fitness and nutrition. He wanted to absorb as much as he could to feel his best and share his passion with others. He has since gone on to acquire numerous certifications, including NCI, Oracle applied science, and the Well-Fit mentorship. This passion lifted him from his darkest times and helped him overcome a decade of addiction to drugs and alcohol, which resulted in his sobriety. His sobriety date is November 20th of 2012, and for that, he is eternally grateful.
Brad opened the doors to Key Nutrition in March 2017 and has never looked back. He now operates a course called The Next Level Experience, where he helps individuals level up in all areas of their life in an intimate, intense, and interactive course.
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Brad was first exposed to alcohol and drugs before starting his journey toward sobriety (2:43)
- What he learned through chronic pain, addiction, and trying heroin (13:26)
- The difference between being clean and being in recovery (21:03)
- How to build grit mentally, spiritually and physically (29:31)
- How he has been able to stay sober through entrepreneurship (38:25)
- The importance of spirituality outside of religion (45:21)
- The importance of reaching out while struggling with any kind of addiction (46:49)
I am excited to share that I will be joining Brad soon in Salt Lake City for his event "MINDSTRONG." I am honored and excited to be the keynote speaker and share tips and tools on who to build grit and strengthen your resilience!!
Join us and nourish your mind, body and spirit! March 18th-19th 2022 https://amberlylago.com/events/

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is about a different kind of resilience: building a successful business or career. If you've been working on this kind of goal, you know the ups and downs it takes you through all sorts of challenges, ESPECIALLY with things like social media, SEO and getting more eyeballs on your brand. I am so excited to bring you an incredible expert on how to build "career capital," find your dream customers, and share your best work with the world.
Kim Kaupe is an accidental entrepreneur, educator, podcaster, and speaker. She started her first business in 2011 at age 25 and in 9 years, she learned how to go from zero clients to Oprah, no one knowing who she was to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and not knowing what an LLC was to securing offers from 4 out of 5 sharks on Shark Tank.
Now, she opens her my playbook to show others exactly how she did it. Kim works with executives & future leaders to harness their voice & image to expand their network. She dusts off the ordinary to reveal the extraordinary in her clients whose perceived value in the workplace does not match the actual value they bring to the table. By showing others how to showcase their strengths, she's building an army of leaders who are ready to take center stage.

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace covers a topic we all deal with: overthinking AND overanalyzing. I had the honor of having a conversation with one of the top experts on how to change the soundtrack in your mind and finish what you start. He says, "If you listen to any thought long enough it becomes a part of your personal playlist." The good news is we can change the script, rewrite the story and change the soundtrack in our heads. We can create a playlist that empowers us and allows us to show up fully, confidently and authentically. Our guest shows us how!
Jon Acuff is the *New York Times* bestselling author of seven books, including his most recent, *Soundtracks, The Surprising Solution To Overthinking.*
Published in more than a dozen languages, his work is both critically acclaimed and adored by readers. When he’s not writing, Acuff can be found on a stage, as one of INC’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers. He’s spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at conferences, colleges and companies around the world including FedEx, Nissan, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Chick-fil-A, Nokia and Comedy Central. Known for his insights wrapped in humor, Acuff shared the stage with an American Icon when he opened up for Dolly Parton at the Ryman Auditorium.
For over 20 years he’s also helped some of the biggest brands tell their story, including The Home Depot, Bose, and Staples. His fresh perspective on life has given him the opportunity to write for Reader’s Digest, Fast Company, The Harvard Business Review and Time Magazine.
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How humor helps convey your message in audiobooks and speaking engagements (3:27)
- The importance of writing down our reaction to retire our broken soundtracks (7:11)
- How to "turn the dial down" on broken soundtracks (10:39)

Some of her career highlights have been...

Today's episode of True Grit and Grace is going to be so powerful for you if you have been wanting to start or scale a business and are trying to understand how to go about it. My guest is one of the most respected financial and entrepreneurial experts in the industry and he also has an incredible story of resilience from a cancer diagnosis. Mel Abraham is a CPA by education but an entrepreneur by exhilaration, and Author of the #1 Bestseller, The Entrepreneur's Solution: The Modern Millionaire's Path to More Profit, Fans & Freedom. He’s the founder of Thoughtpreneur TM Academy & Business Breakthrough Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses to the world and build the lifestyle that they want.
After finding a cancerous tumor in his bladder larger than a baseball in June 2019 and successfully conquering it within 18 months, Mel began to openly teach his The Affluence Blueprint TM because his cancer journey spotlighted the immediate and urgent need for entrepreneurs to find “financial liberation” and peace of mind. This is the very process and system he’s used to build his business and more importantly his wealth through business that allowed him to completely shut things down to focus on what’s important. Most entrepreneurs are building a financial house of cards and don’t even realize it...and traditional financial advice will not work for them.
As a frequent guest on some of the top shows and podcasts and through his popular programs, blog and show he shares his thought leadership around financial liberation, affluence, building businesses of impact, and freedom. He’s been called an Affluence MentorTM and the “thought leader to thought leaders” and advised some of the top thought leaders of our time in their business, money matters, content creation, positioning and market influence.
Mel is a committed advocate for the entrepreneurial way and provides real education to real entrepreneurs for creating a real life! After all, we are placed here to create a legacy beyond acquiring, achieving and accomplishing but by connecting at a meaningful level and impacting lives through our businesses, services and ideals each and every day.
Mel has built, bought and sold numerous multimillion-dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients. He’s a globally recognized thought leader, business advisor, CPA and financial expert sharing stages with a long list of Fortune 500 Companies as well as beacons in the business and personal development industry, from Arianna Huffington and Chalene Johnson to Brendon Burchard and Tony Robbins. (So yeah! You can understand why I was jumping up and down when I got to share the stage with him for the Transform U Event a few months ago!)
Mel is a Certified Public Accountant with over three decades of experience as a financial expert, valuation expert and business and success strategist. Mel is regularly sought after for consulting and valuation engagements around the country such as family limited partnerships, co-tenant interest valuations, operating businesses as well as various entities. These projects have ranged from small family owned businesses to large $1.7 billion companies.

"Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal to your sense of connection to intention, who see greatness in you" -Wayne Dyer
This is the first time I'm releasing this kind of episode and I was so excited about it that I recorded the intro for it on Christmas morning! This year I hosted the first ever Unstoppable Life Mastermind, and it was transformative, magical and an experience so special I just had to share it with you. After meeting on Zoom for months with this group of empowering trail blazers, we got to meet in person in Malibu, CA to celebrate what we learned and the breakthroughs we experienced.
I invited each member to give a short TED style talk about the biggest lesson they had learned in their life. I recorded each one so that you could hear these incredible stories of grit and grace. From overcoming domestic abuse, cancer and turning cant's into cans, to creating the confidence to launch a business, start their own show and even write a book, each of these stories will move you.
If this kind of work speaks to you, and you are ready to get clarity on your goals, build your influence and make a bigger impact and income, be sure to apply for the next round of the mastermind that starts February 2022! As a collective, we will share the tools and resources to take action. This is an experience where we focus on YOU and YOUR big dreams! Imagine a handful of like minded champions, working together to hep one another by offering unfiltered suggestion and direction to help make your goals a reality!! See what's possible when you receive the outside perspective and counsel from others in the group as they put their full attention on helping you grow. Be of service to others AND receive the "borrowed benefits" of listening in while other members are given feedback, counsel and connections. We will be using the Mastermind Association principles to help separate you from the 95 percent who dream of success to the top 5 percent you actually achieve it!

From broke jazz musician to $100 million in online sales… Jeff Lerner’s story and message are now inspiring millions. After a decade of building multiple online businesses to over 8 figures and twice landing on the INC 5000 Jeff turned his focus to educating and inspiring entrepreneurs about the power of entrepreneurship in the modern economy.

He currently maintains an active schedule of speaking events and media appearances while working day-to-day as ENTRE’s CEO, hosting the popular “Unlock Your Potential” podcast and YouTube show, and working on his first full-length book. He is married, an active father to 4 children, and still enjoys playing the piano as often as possible.
In this episode, we talk about how to shift your mindset and your skills to create entrepreneurial success, the power of certainty and dedication, and what the road to success really looks like.
**Here’s what you will learn:**

“Let food be your medicine.” That is what the founder of one of my favorite health food brands said to me during our conversation about healing, the power of fermented foods, and where true health comes from. We talk all things fermented, why Kefir is so important, what you can do at home, and why you might want to stop slamming back kombuchas. If you have ever wondered why you may not be healing from a chronic condition you might be surprised in what you learn from today's guest.
Lauren Mones is the founder and CEO of Fermenting Fairy. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2014, Lauren was told it was something she’d just have to live with. But something told her that just couldn’t be true. After reading about the healing powers of fermented foods, Lauren tried sauerkraut from a health food store. She was shocked at how much that pickled cabbage changed her entire world.Lauren shares the magic of the fermentation process with everyone she meets. In less than two years, Mones grew her home-based business selling bottles of kefir outside a yoga studio to a USDA certified organic brand sold in dozens of Los Angeles health food stores and online.
In this episode, we talk about Lauren's journey from a healthy life to being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease to discovering the power of fermented foods, building her business, and what happened when she found a new way to live.
Here’s what you will learn:
- What led Lauren to creating products to heal your gut (2:17)

“Your success doesn’t depend on you being perfect.” This episode is so powerful, and I can't wait for you to hear it. I got to interview one of the co-founders of the hugely popular and powerful transformation education company MindValley.

In 2003, she co-founded Mindvalley — a global school that delivers transformational education for all ages. In 2009, she launched Mindvalley Russian, taking Mindvalley’s best authors and teachings to the Russian-speaking market.
She's also the author of Live By Your Own Rules, a 30-day optimal learning quest designed for transformation to help you identify, understand, and accept all the dimensions of your authentic self so that you can live an extraordinary life and make happiness a regular practice.
In this episode, we talk about how Kristina learned to harness belief and authenticity for herself, the power of saying no to perfectionism, and pro tips for being a successful speaker.
Here’s what you will learn:
- A new way to understand belief (4:31)
- How to find happiness in the moment (11:59)
- How our different motivations move us (19:20)

“Live from the heart, be from the heart, connect from the heart.” Wow, today's guests live this statement every day. I am so excited for you to hear their unique perspective on what happens when we change our energy and focus it on love. Renee and Anthony are the founders of Blue Soul Earth, an amazing movement to teach people how to use ancient wisdom to channel truth, love and good energy.
An empath and spiritual intuitive, Renee Blodgett is co-founder of Blue Soul Earth®.

Combining what she has learned across six continents, she incorporates wisdom from Shamanism & Buddhism, as well as pagan, ‘indigenous ceremony’ and sound healing into her work.
She is also the founder and editor of online magazine We Blog the World™, and has spoken about transformative experiences and journeys globally. Renee also published five photo books on travel and the human condition. She has partnered with organizations such as The Healing Summit, Gathering for Humanity, New Living Expo, Wisdom 2.0, IONS (Institute for Noetic Sciences) and the New York Times Travel Show.

As the co-founder of Blue Soul Earth®, Anthony Compagnone has been guided by Spirit for as long as he can remember, however he kept his most powerful healing gift as a channel at bay until the second half of his life. Anthony a full embodied channel, who is clairvoyant, clairsentient, claircognizant and clairtangent. He is able to tap into those hidden and inner worlds that shamans and spiritual masters so often speak of and innately know – it is in this world of “Spirit” or “Higher Dimensions and Realms” where ancient knowledge and healing often takes place, working through the body which merely acts as a vessel for what appears to be transcendent to our human eyes and ears.
Anthony is also a Solas Reiki Master as well as a Usui/Karuna Holy Fire Reiki practitioner. He is also a long time Vinyasa yogi and often meditates in their mystical garden where Buddha, humming birds, geese and gemstones dominate. He has a number of Martial Arts accreditations and specializes in Kung Fu and Chinese Kempo, where he is licensed to teach self-defense techniques.

“Work on your strengths and hire your weaknesses.” This is the advice today's guest shared with me as I asked him about his success tips. It's one of the best ideas I've heard and it's just one of the gems that he shared in our conversation. He has studied with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world, and I can't wait for you to hear his story.
Mike Zeller is a man of many paradoxes. It’s true that his businesses have done over $300 million in sales, and that he himself has founded or partnered in over 20 ventures with a heavy emphasis on social entrepreneurism. It’s also true that he studied under masters of the industry such as Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham and many others. And yes—he’s even mentored over 100 high-level entrepreneurs from four different continents.
Mike’s incredible genius lies within his innate ability to help his clients pinpoint their deepest purposes, greatest gifts, and highest potential to serve and influence the world. Using his master practitioner skills of NLP and his highest-level business training, he then weaves an intricate tapestry—showing exactly how to build a sustainable, highly-successful business, while removing unconscious emotional blocks and wounds that sabotage progress. To tie this delicate process together, he shows his clients how to find lasting fulfillment by staying in touch with their hearts and living lives of deep impact, high gratitude and lasting connection.
In this episode, Mike and I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the power of quality relationships, the importance of understanding your unique genius, and how to keep going no matter what.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How to start your journey toward success (1:27)
- How to find good people to match with in business (7:21)
- How to build a solid email list (11:39)
- The importance of taking breaks from being online with your business (23:48)
- How getting outside and traveling can spark creativity (28:50)
- How taking inventory of your key relationships can help you thrive (36:28)

It's been 3 1/2 weeks since I lost my sense of smell and taste and got the news that I was, indeed, positive for Covid. Living with chronic pain every day from CRPS is a battle. Throw in a strong dose of this crazy virus that feels like it's trying to suck the life right out of you, zap your brain cells, and take your breath away--well, I don't know if it's harder mentally, emotionally or physically?? One thing I do know, is no matter what the suffering, it will end in time. But the growth you gain from the fortitude and resilience required to continue--that will forever remain.
Now that I'm coming through the other side, I want to share what has helped me stay mentally tough and get my strength back slowly but surely. I hope it will support you in taking care of yourself, boosting your strength and resilience, and inspire you to give yourself the gift of grace.
It's my intention to share everything I have learned so that it can help you with any challenge you may be facing right now. Most of all, what I have learned is that there are a lot of kind people out there, ready to help, show up and your back! I am in so much gratitude for all of you that have helped me, prayed for me and been there for me every step of the way. I have been praying a lot but having your connection gave me the encouragement I needed. So thank you. Now I hope to give you the encouragement you might need.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Rest--if we really want to be resilient we must strategically stop (4:09)
- What EGO means and why we need to release it (7:42)
- The importance of gratitude practice through hardship (15:29)
- My 8 mental toughness principles to provide you with resilience to keep going even when things don't go as planned(18:51)
- How focusing on your "why" can keep you committed (29:36)
- Changing our negative thoughts to positive ones and taming the inner critic (33:21)

You can't overcome pain without going THROUGH the pain. But today on the True Grit and Grace podcast we have an incredible expert and one of my dear friends to teach us a whole new way to think about finding PURPOSE in pain.
I met Dr. Phil Parker when we shared the stage at the Annual Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Association Conference and I instantly knew I wanted to learn more about his amazing healing practice and techniques. Dr. Phil is an acclaimed personal development lecturer, therapist, innovator and the author of 4 books. He created the Lightning Process which helps individuals to profoundly change their lives and health. Since then he has trained practitioners who deliver it in 15 countries and on 5 different continents.
Because of his wealth of experience helping clients make rapid and sustained change using a range of tools, including the Lightning Process, and his talent for explaining complex ideas and concepts simply, Dr. Phil is regularly called upon to make keynote speeches/talks all over the world. He has recently worked with The British Olympic team, GP appraisers in the UK and Osteopathic practices around the world. For the last 20 years Phil has been training students to be practitioners in NLP, Coaching, Clinical Hypnotherapy and the Lightning Process. He runs practitioner and post-graduate courses and also personal development courses for people just wanting to work with him personally and benefit from his expertise.
Dr. Phil completed his PhD in the Psychology of Health at London Metropolitan University and is involved in research into a number of areas including the Lightning Process and Substance Use Disorders.
In this episode, Dr. Phil shares powerful insights into how we can manage our pain, turn it into purpose, and keep it from consuming us. This is an incredible resource that I hope you share with anyone you know who experiences any kind of pain. (ESPECIALLY COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME, CRPS)
Here’s what you will learn:
- How to turn personal pain into purpose (2:31)
- Why Phil chose to believe that change was possible and his miraculous story of defying the odds (9:24)

“Don’t tie your identity to things that can be pulled away from you.” Today's episode shares a true story of resilience, grit, and grace. If you've ever struggled with confidence, instability, or fear, you'll relate to this conversation.
Stephen Scoggins is an award-winning, successful entrepreneur, however, it wasn’t always that way. Growing up, life was really difficult for Stephen. When he was just 22, he found himself homeless and on the verge of suicide. He was angry, stuck and completely empty inside.
During that season, a mentor gave Stephen a second chance opportunity he didn’t feel he deserved. From there Stephen launched a multi-million dollar construction company and has gone on to launch 5 other successful businesses ranging from real estate to thought leadership with top line revenue over $100 million.
He uses the pain of his past and the lessons he’s learned along the way to help people discover who they are, why they are here and what to do about it. Stephen is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of giving others the same gift of freedom he received by offering a practical and empowering education to those looking for a second chance to level up, catapult forward and make their dreams a reality.
In this episode, Stephen shares the path he took from rock bottom to building stability, confidence, and success. He is a guide, not a guru, and I know you'll find so much value in what he shares.
**Here’s what you will learn:**
- How Stephen became homeless, it's impact on his life and how he turned tragedy into triumph (1:54)
- How rockbottom can lead you to fight for a better life and build your first business (10:43)
- Why fear can drive us to terrible decisions and how to make better choices (19:31)
- How humility helps to build resilience and confidence (25:41)
- Why fear feeds procrastination and how to overcome that (30:58)
- The importance of personal gatekeepers in our lives (38:25)

One of the most powerful and most challenging skills we can learn is how to sell like an authentic leader. No matter what our mission or business is, we need to be able to sell it in order for it to succeed. I love learning from the best sales leaders about how to do this right, and what it takes to change our mindset about selling like a true leader.
Ben Ward is a passionate leader with over 20 years of experience in sales leadership, and executive leadership training and development. From a career start in direct sales as a door-to-door salesman, he quickly advanced to senior management in one of the fastest-growing companies in America.
At age 26, Ben built and managed the highest producing sales region at Firstline Security, an INC 500 company. He became the #1 highest producer in the company—of over 2,000 sales representatives nationwide—and generated over $37 million in revenue with sales teams. There he earned his first million dollars in sales commission. Ben then went on to co-found Elevate Inc. an IP-based company offering bundled phone, Internet, digital TV, security and home automation services. The company recruited thousands of sales representatives nationwide and went public in 2010. The company experienced a ton of success and ultimately came crashing down and Ben lost everything. Ben looks back on this experience as the most valuable learning and growth period of his life up to that point. Ben picked himself back up and became a CEO / administrator of a Plum Healthcare facility where he spent four years focused on leadership development and growing and developing people as he lead a team of over 200 healthcare professionals.
In 2016, Ben took on the role of Executive Director of Leadership, Culture and Sales at LuLaRoe, where he helped more than 80,000 independent retailers and 2,300 internal employees with leadership development and sales growth. There he helped to develop a company culture built on a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) framework. He participated in the generation of over $4 billion in sales within the company’s first five years as an organization. Ben founded Forward Leadership as a result of his personal obsession for continuous improvement and passion for helping others grow and develop.
In this episode, Ben shares his best tips for overcoming limiting beliefs, stepping into leadership, and using integrity, kindness, and confidence to sell what you love and expand your business or cause.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Ben’s tools to battle limiting beliefs (2:24)
- How to become an expert leader in sales (4:51)

“Ask and attract."
I'm talking to one of my good friends on the show today. He's a seasoned salesman and speaker, but he also has a beautiful heart and is passionate about turning around businesses that are struggling.
Ricky has been President, VP of sales, and COO of companies spanning Southern California over the last 10 years. With the help and dedication of his teams, Ricky has overseen operations in excess of a half-billion dollars in southern California and has appointed key personnel to implement the mindset and sales programs. Many of the great relationships have been with national brands such as Home Depot, Costco, American Residential Services, and Sears, where Ricky has spoken at national conferences to share his ideas and best sales practices.
Ricky’s specialty has been to rebuild divisions of mediocre or failing businesses. Again, with the support of his team, he has accomplished this repetitively and Ricky believes it all starts with the foundation of the proper culture that facilitates and celebrates the success of others. In rebuilding these companies, Ricky has faced some severe challenges and obstacles that have confirmed the strength of his teachings through consistent implementation of a positive mindset and Prosperity Planning.
In this episode, Ricky shares his own story of resilience and grit, how to get unstuck, and why we have to filter our own thoughts if we want to be successful.
Here’s what you will learn:
- What inspired Ricky to get started in speaking and coaching (2:31)

“Shame can't survive the light."
If you have been on this podcast journey with me for awhile then you know that addiction and recovery are a recurring theme on the show--subjects very close to my heart as someone whose life has been spared by sobriety. With so much going on in the world and addiction on the rise, and so many people suffering in silence, I think it's important to talk about mental health, addiction and shine some light on the subject. After all, shame can't survive the light.
So today on the show I am sharing the story of Amy Dresner--a true badass and an amazing example that you can get through anything with resilience and turn tragedy into triumph.
Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict and alcoholic. She has been a columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012 and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications. Her first book, “My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean,” was published by Hachette in 2017 to rave reviews from critics and readers alike. Elle magazine compared Dresner’s darkly comic memoir to Carrie Fisher’s “Postcards from the Edge” and Mary Karr’s “Lit,” calling Dresner’s book “one for the ages.”
Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors TV and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S. and Canada. Her book is currently in development for a TV series.
In this episode, Amy candidly shares her journey into and out of addiction and why it's never too late to change your life for the better.
Growing up in Beverly Hills, Amy had it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps, and even a weekly spending allowance. But at age 24 she started dabbling in meth in San Francisco and soon became a full blown meth addict. She managed to keep it all together until one night, high on Oxycontin, she pulled a butter knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon.
She found herself in the psych ward, divorced, and penniless. She was court-ordered 240 ours of community service and for the next two years assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard "chain gang." She cleaned up the streets and bounced from rehabs, struggled with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her 40's.
This conversation is raw, courageous and even shocking at times. We talk about the dark side of addiction, fear, self hatred and shame. The is a candid conversation about the struggles to success, the will to survive, and the conviction and strength required to achieve sobriety.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How Amy started her journey from pain to purpose (2:50)
- What she learned and how she grew from her arrest and jail (11:31)
- How being on the "chain gang" shifted her perspective and changed her life (19:21)
- How shame affects us and how the 12 Steps helps us (23:51)
- Addiction doesn't discriminate and how to overcome the dark side by shining light on it (29:45)
- How to navigate feelings that come and go (36:52)
- How Amy was able to manage her depression and mood in the pandemic (45:43)
- How to manage making decisions about medications in sobriety (52:18)

“Action alleviates anxiety."
Bedros Keuilian has been one of my biggest inspirations and I have to admit I was fan-girling big time during this interview. He is a legend in the fitness industry and the author of one of my favorite books, "MAN UP." Growing up poor and being bullied as an overweight immigrant kid filled him with rage and he channeled this to become a man with something to prove to himself and the world. I am amazed he can be humble despite all his luminous accomplishments and was jumping for joy when he said yes to being on the show. He is a sought after Keynote Speaker, Business Consultant, Founder of the Modern Day Knight Project, CEO and Founder of Fit Body Boot Camp and more than anything, he is one of the best humans I have ever, ever met.

Odds are you’ve seen his international franchise Fit Body Boot Camp in your town, or his coaching and consulting clients on hit TV shows featured on ABC, NBC, Spike TV, in popular magazines, & on top of the New York Times Bestseller list.
In this episode, Bedros shares the details of how being an immigrant, healing from abuse, and owning his power and worth have transformed his life. I can't wait for you to be inspired by his story and wisdom.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How Bedros’ father left communist Armenia to become American (3:21)

“Spirituality is your conscious contact with God.”
Damon West led his high school football team to championships as well as a starting position with the North Texas University football team. He was adored by his community and the good fortune of being the son of one of the most respected sports reporters in the state. Very few people are blessed with such extraordinary gifts and opportunities, and yet, fate and biochemistry had another plan for Damon. In short, addiction doesn’t discriminate.
Whenever I talk to others in recover I am always inspired and uplifted by the daily choices they make to live in gratitude and be of service. I loved this conversation with Damon about his story of redemption from meth addiction to what he has chosen to do with his life now and the positive impact he is making on the world.
Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, nationally known keynote speaker and best-selling author (with best-selling author and motivational speaker Jon Gordon) of The Coffee Bean: A simple Lesson to Create Positive Change. His first book and autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, was published just three years after his release from a Texas maximum-security prison.
After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.
This is a powerful conversation about addiction, sobriety, redemption, spiritual transformation and more. No matter what you are dealing with currently, I know Damon's story of turning tragedy into triumph will resonate with you.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Where Damon’s road started with addiction and prison time (3:29)
- What prison life was like for Damon (10:21)
- Understanding the prison of the mind (15:16)
- How to build grit and determination (23:31)

“You have a PhD in heart."
I've wanted to record an episode about something we all deal with, no matter how much progress we've made. I'm talking about limiting beliefs.

In this solocast, I share a few steps that I've found help me overcome my own limiting beliefs when they come up. I also answer audience questions about finding your voice, sharing your story, and bringing your life into harmony.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Step 1: Name your limiting belief (3:03)
- Step 2: Switch the belief out (12:15)
- Step 3: Let it go (12:35)
- How to improve your thinking (13:55)
- How to bring harmony into your life (15:18)
- How to share your story with the universe (18:22)
- How to stay motivated (25:15)

"Health is a direction, not a destination. Your body wants to heal. It never stops fighting for you even when it feels like it has given up. It hasn't. So don't you give up either."
When my friend Erica Lippy asked me if I knew the "stop chasing pain" doctor, I didn't, but I immediately wanted to. When I researched and connected with today's guest I was blown away by his wisdom and couldn't wait to share it with you.
As we all know, our body is a system. There is not one system that operates on its own. We aren't supposed to live with chronic pain, disease, and chronic inflammation. It's our body trying to tell us something is wrong. Pain is trying to tell us something is wrong. Are you ready to listen?
Dr. Perry Nickelston provides so much wisdom on how the systems of the body work and gives us a deeper understanding of another important system in your body that is often ignored, that is the lymphatic system. I was amazed by his wisdom around pain management, how he addresses the root cause of health problems and his secrets for strengthening our immune system.

He is a 1997 graduate from Palmer Chiropractic University and a master fitness trainer with over 25 years experience in the health industry. Suffering from obesity as a teenager and overcoming all of the emotional strife that accompanies being overweight, Dr. Perry dedicated himself to teaching others how to get in shape and lead a healthy lifestyle. He is currently publishing several books on health, fitness, laser therapy, business success, and self treatment programs from his website.

“When you are good to people, people are good to you.”
I have been spending a lot of time recently on the new audio app Clubhouse. It's an amazing place to meet leaders and teachers who are sharing their wisdom and success. One of the first times I used the app, I met today's guest, Moe, and was so inspired by what he's doing.

He has worked with Entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 companies and Individuals. He holds a degree in Business Administration from Concordia University, is a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and earned a Certified Gold Record in 2010 as a Producer in the World Music genre.
His enthusiasm, experience, and determination have enabled Moe to live “the American dream,” through hard work, spirituality, faith, and a strategy of preeminence. Moe Rock works tirelessly to make that dream the reality for everyone whose life he touches.
In this episode, Moe shares his amazing story of making a huge life pivot, finding his purpose, and stepping into leadership. I know you'll find inspiration and guidance as you listen for how you can do the same.

“A resilient body starts with a resilient mindset.”
It's a new year and a new season of the podcast! I took a break during the holidays (hope you did too!) and am excited to bring something new to the podcast this year. I'll be focusing on mind, body, and spirit transformation and you can expect solo episodes from me sharing what I'm learning as I continue on this journey.

In this solocast (my first one!) I share 4 steps that I've found consistently help me maintain resilience in all parts of my life. Since "RESILIENCE" was my word of the year last year, I'm excited to share with you what I've been practicing that has made the biggest difference in living a resilient life.
Here’s what you will learn:
- Step 1: Start your day with a resilient mindset (2:00)
- Step 2: Focus on what you can control and what you can learn (5:01)
- Step 3: Maintain a resilient body (9:10)
- Step 4: Find ways to bring joy into your life (15:05)

Then, giving his first ever TEDx Talk in early 2020, sharing his story and encouraging others to CONSISTENTLY TAKE ACTION (CTA) in life and then to find their own inner CONFIDENCE towards their dreams, aspirations and goals without ever losing hope or belief.
This conversation is authentic, beautiful, inspiring, and important because your message and work matters and Coach Sadiq explains how you can share it with the world.

“Comparison is self sabotage.”
I am often asked about the process of writing my book - tips, tricks, the honest truth. It seemed like a good idea to bring on a book writing expert to the podcast because statistics state 81% of people think they might write a book one day.
Rea Frey is the multi-published, award-winning bestselling author of three suspense novels and four nonfiction books. She’s been featured in US Weekly, Entertainment Weekly, Popsugar, Working Mother, Bustle, She Knows, Marie Claire, Parade, Shape, Brit + Co, Hello Giggles, CrimeReads, Café Mom, Writer’s Digest, WGN, Fox News, Today in Nashville, Talk of the Town, and more.
She also recently founded and scaled her six-figure business Writeway™, where aspiring writers become published authors. On her weekly Writeway™ podcast, she cuts through the B.S. of the publishing industry and gives writers the exact information they need to make informed decisions about their careers. When she’s not busy running a business, meeting book deadlines, or homeschooling her daughter, you can find her alternating between meditating, exercising, and trying not to lose her mind in the process.
This conversation is so informative, especially if you've ever thought about writing a book. I hope you get a ton of inspiration and motivation as you listen to Rea explain how you can share your ideas with the world.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How Rea began her journey writing her first book (2:03)
- All that comes with publishing, promoting and selling a book (12:14)
- The changing successes as the times change (20:15)

“Your hard work puts you where your blessings can find you."
This episode is one that I deeply relate to. I got to talk to a stylist to the stars, but what we ended up talking about motherhood, unexpected C-sections, self-love, and finding our identities.
Born and raised in New York, Ali credits her love for fashion to a city upbringing, and also a kinship style icon – her grandmother.

A member of both the Motion Picture Costumes Local 705 and Design Guild 892, the red-head with the hazel-green eyes and even more colorful ensemble resides in Toluca Lake with her husband, Justin, two fashionable cats, Dolce and Ferragamo, and newest member, a fashionable pup named Oscar.
When Ali is not working, she continues to exercise her devotion to her field by scouring the hottest trends all over Los Angeles and New York. She has been dubbed the new “IT” girl in the celebrity styling world.
This conversation is personal, beautiful, timely, and for anyone who has been trying to find their way in a new chapter of life, with a new relationship to work, their body, their energy, and themselves.

“Life comes to break the idea of us, so we can break through.”
Today's guest on the podcast is someone special. He has overcome some of the biggest challenges anyone faces to become a coach (working with the likes of Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi) and commit his life to serving others on the path of self-mastery.
After dealing with abuse as a child, being molested, struggling with drugs, and alcoholism, Princeton's life felt shattered. He lost himself and it led him into a deep depression. After a failed suicide attempt at the age of 23, he had a major awakening in his life. It took what he thought was broken and showed him that he had the power to change his story. That's exactly what he did. He chose to become a champion in his life and not the victim!
He had to choose to evolve his life mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Teaching others self-mastery, and how to evolve in every aspect of their lives is now his main focus. He is an advocate for expedited growth and active responsiveness that manifest optimal results. He has been a coach for the past 16 years, spoken to thousands of people, and is preparing to take things to a new level with the Evolved Mastery platform.
Princeton has a huge heart, an incredible story, and is on a mission to empower others to rise above their pain and grow through it. I loved hearing his perspective, his wisdom, and his heart. And make sure to listen to the end of the show for a special TGAG giveaway!

“It’s up to us what pace we wanna keep.”
If you've had a health challenge hit you sideways and seem to take over your life, this conversation is for you. I got to talk with Dawnmarie about her experience of getting MS (multiple sclerosis) and the choices she has made since then to live fully.
Personal health battles and emotional struggles were the fuel for Dawnmarie Deshaies to start the global wellness brand Dawnmariehealthyandfit, LLC. For decades she has lived with and suffered from a chronic autoimmune disease that impacted her life in many different ways - Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, essentially the brain and spinal cord.
Through her journey of learning about the disease, personal self-care and finding well-being, an idea was sparked that would allow Dawnmarie to share with others the experience to health, self-care, mindfulness, restoration and positivity. By helping others heal and paying it forward, this has in turn helped to foster her own continual healing. Dawnmarie Deshaies has gathered her leading wellness allies and experts to create a multi-dimensional program that approaches every aspect of real well-being: mindfulness, nutrition, fitness, self-love and positivity.
Dawnmarie shares her story with authenticity and relatability that I love. She is an incredible example of facing some of the hardest parts of life and choosing the very best.

This episode of True Grit and Grace is special because it focuses on something we all deal with: food and our health. No matter what your personal situation is, Robby is someone who can open your mind to how you can gain optimal health.
Robby Barbaro, MPH is a Type 1 diabetic who has successfully helped thousands prevent, navigate and reverse diabetes of all kinds through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. He, along with co-author Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, have a NY Times bestseller "Mastering Diabetes," and have put the current medical dogma of "low carb and high fat" diet to the test.
Robby graduated from the University of Florida and is the cofounder of Mastering Diabetes and Amla Green. He worked at Forks Over Knives for six years before turning his attention in 2016 to coaching people with diabetes full time. Robby was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12 and has been living this lifestyle since 2006. He is making waves in the news with shocking truths about carbs and diabetes. While eating pounds of fruit every day, his HbA1c value has never exceeded 6.4%, and his blood glucose has been stable and easy to manage.
He is the co-host of the annual Mastering Diabetes Online Summit, a featured speaker at Whole Foods Global Headquarters, VegFest LA, Plant-Stock, Torrance Memorial Medical Center, and has been featured on Forks Over Knives, Healthline, Medical Medium, Vice, Thrive Magazine, Diet Fiction, Thrive Global, BestLife and the wildly popular podcasts Plant Proof and Nutrition Rounds. Cyrus and Robby's book Mastering Diabetes is life-changing!
I love Robby's energy so much and was so uplifted and encouraged by this conversation. Whatever health or mental challenge you are facing, I know you'll be inspired to be your healthiest and make positive changes after listening.

Here’s what you will learn:
- Where addiction comes from and why it’s so enticing
- Why addicts feel like themselves when using
- How to navigate creating healthy boundaries with your family
- What is underneath the shame and anger of addiction
- Why we must open up and talk about our shame in order to heal
“Alcohol is the doorway, not the solution.”
I had a powerful conversation with Omar Pinto on this episode of the podcast where we dive deep into addiction. One way or another, pretty much everyone has experienced what addiction does. And it's not easy to talk about. But this is such an important part of healing and becoming the best versions of ourselves. I loved hearing Omar's perspective on this topic.
Omar Pinto has had to overcome many addictions. Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, fast food, energy drinks, porn, laziness, complacency and the list goes on and on. There came a moment in his life where he felt completely hopeless. He felt as though he was powerless to change any unhealthy habits and all he wanted to do was find a way to feel better about himself.
10 years into his sobriety, he launched one of the most successful recovery podcasts on iTunes, The SHAIR Podcast with over 2 million downloads and listeners from all over the world. Coaching was the turning point that allowed him to get out of his own way and start becoming the person he was always meant to be. For years he worked on himself: one-on-one coaching, practitioner training, coaching certifications, seminars, workshops, extensive emotional healing work, you name it.
He now specializes in helping people get out of their own way. He helps individuals identify the major pain points in their lives and break free from their past. He has over 15 years’ experience in addiction recovery and has combined NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), personal development and emotional healing work to produce fast effective results.
It was powerful to hear Omar talk about navigating healthy boundaries as he healed his own addictions - both with his family, friends, and himself. This is a conversation everyone can benefit from listening to.

“If I change one person’s life, they can help other people’s lives.” That is what Callie Truelove told me during our conversation and she is a living example of this. I got to talk with Callie and her mom Tabitha and I was in tears over the beautiful stories they shared with me.
Callie Truelove is a 16-year-old girl who has Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that gives her the superpower of LOVE! Rooted in a deletion of a number of specific genes in chromosome #7, this condition often causes devastating physical and cognitive complications, but it also has some near-miraculous side effects. Callie always finds a way to only see the good in the world and in things and people around her! This unburdened outlook on life comes from the heart of this angelic girl who touches lives of everyone that she encounters by either warming their day or making them smile to changing their lives forever. A new film is coming out that will chronicle Callie’s journey as she spreads the love by meeting other special people with Williams syndrome and in the process, makes some of their dreams come true!
What touched me most when talking with Callie was her huge heart, the way she spreads light and joy, and the hope I have in humanity's ability to love each other.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How impactful you can be in your sphere of influence
- The way love can change people's hearts
- How you can learn to accept yourself as you are
- Callie's advice for loving people who judge you

This episode is packed with nuggets of wisdom that will change your life and the world for the better if taken to heart. I had the honor of sitting with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and was filled with hope for our future.
At age 15, Eric Adams was beaten by police. This traumatizing incident inspired him to become a police officer to help reform NYC policing from the inside. He co-founded “100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care,” an advocacy group that rose to nationwide prominence speaking out against police brutality, racial profiling, and departmental diversity. He served 22 years on the force and retired a highly respected Captain.
We recorded this episode one week before the death of George Floyd and I feel we need Eric’s guidance more than ever right now. Eric is what I call a real-life superhero who is creating real reform and real recovery. He traded in his blue uniform for a blue suit when he was elected to the New York State Senate and has earned widespread praise for creating innovative programs on issues ranging from conflict resolution to child abuse prevention.
What touched me most when talking with Eric was his kind heart and his passion for helping others. He is on a mission to serve and strengthen his community and shares how change is possible and hope is available. You can get through the toughest times, handle the most painful experiences, become more resilient and create a safe community. Eric shows us how!
Here’s what you will learn:
- Eric’s pivotal experience with the police
- How you can turn your pain into purpose
- How to develop a never give up mindset
- Being your own advocate for your health and wellbeing
- The power of community, giving back, a support system, and the social bank of life
- How to process trauma instead of ignoring it
- Reversing Type 2 Diabetes
- The life-changing benefits of a plant-based diet
- How to create reform and strengthen your community
- The astonishing power of words and how they can change your life
- Taking the time to get to know yourself and transforming your mind, body and soul
- Eric’s 100 point system
- Being driven by purpose, being in the present and enjoying the journey to the destination
- Resilience--recovering from covid as a country.

“When pain becomes purpose, your scars begin to heal and not hurt.” — Doug Bopst
Today’s guest is proof that miracles can happen! It’s my privilege to share the story of Doug Bopst. A regular guy who, like so many, suffered in silence from depression. To self-medicate he began experimenting with drugs in his teens which quickly led to an opioid addiction. He had no ambition, no confidence, and no care for tomorrow.
After being arrested on a felony drug charge, Doug hit rock bottom. But sitting in jail, miserable, an addict, overweight, and locked in a victim mindset, he found a mentor in a cellmate. This cellmate got him into fitness and ultimately saved his life. Doug chose a different path. He decided to do things completely different and was redeemed by sobriety, faith, fitness, and family.
This is a conversation about what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now. Doug shares his story of hope and resilience and how he conquered his demons and put the past behind him.
Doug is an award-winning personal trainer, author, speaker, and business owner featured on the Today Show, Men’s Health, Goalcoast, Fox, ABC, and Thrive Global. He has a top-rated podcast called The Adversity Advantage and is empowering thousands of people around the world to improve their health and wellness and overcome addiction.

I am so honored to have had an opportunity to chat with Dr. K about her outside-the-box approach to treating CRPS, miracles she is performing for patients with chronic pain, and hope she is spreading within the CRPS community.
If you are like me, and living with CRPS, there are probably days where you feel hopeless, want to give up, and the excruciating chronic pain from “the suicide disease” consumes your entire body completely draining you. First, I am glad you are here because you have found your support system. And second, this episode is full of the kind of HOPE that makes each cell of your being feel a little lighter.
Dr. K is the founder of Spero Clinic and a leading CRPS specialist who has created the world’s leading 12 week pain relief program.

We chase gold stars, we check all the boxes, we LEAN IN--and we still feel incomplete.
