FOUNDER

MALINDA LEONARDHi, I’m Malinda — founder of Grateful Connections, lifelong connector, and professional cheerleader for women in business and beyond.

After 25 years in corporate sales, I started my own entrepreneurial journey — and I quickly saw how many women are building incredible things without the support, confidence, or business knowledge they truly deserve.

What I kept hearing — and personally experiencing — was that so many women felt stuck or unsure, not because they lacked talent or heart, but because they were trying to do it all alone.

I created Grateful Connections to change that.

This community is built on the belief that growth happens through gratitude, guidance, and genuine relationships. It’s where you’ll find honest conversations, helpful connections, and a circle of women who want to see you succeed.

I’m here to make sure you never have to wonder, “Am I the only one who feels this way?” again.

Kristin Crockett welcomes Kate Juozaitis, a clinical mental health therapist and women's empowerment coach, to share her journey of personal growth and professional evolution in a heartfelt conversation. Kate recounts her early experiences as a helper, starting with volunteering at the American Lung Association alongside her grandmother. Her path took a transformative turn when she became a firefighter and paramedic at just 17 years old, a decision triggered by a life-altering car accident. This pivotal moment instilled in her a profound sense of purpose: to help others while also healing herself along the way. The discussion delves into the critical concept of 'mother wounds,' a term that Kate uses to describe the deep-rooted issues many women face regarding their relationships with their mothers. Through her coaching, she aims to empower women to recognize and address these wounds, which often manifest as negative self-talk and diminished self-esteem. The conversation highlights how understanding these wounds can foster healing, self-acceptance, and the ability to love oneself without the burden of inherited fears or criticisms.

The episode further explores the theme of fear versus clarity. Kate shares her profound realization of how a traumatic experience stripped her of fear and brought clarity to her life path. This clarity, she explains, allows individuals to swat away fears like annoyances, focusing instead on their courageous destinies. Kristin and Kate emphasize the importance of self-awareness in the journey of self-love and healing, discussing how recognizing and reframing negative self-talk can significantly change one’s life trajectory. They encourage listeners to become observant of their inner dialogues, suggesting that the way one speaks to oneself can either empower or undermine one’s goals. Ultimately, they present a compelling case for the necessity of self-compassion and the active pursuit of understanding one’s purpose, inviting listeners to embark on their own journeys of courageous self-discovery.

Takeaways:

• The journey to self-love involves recognizing and changing negative self-talk patterns that limit our potential.
• Many women experience mother wounds, which can significantly impact their self-esteem and relationships.
• The commitment to personal growth and understanding one's purpose is essential for creating meaningful change.
• Clarity in one's life goals can diminish fear and empower individuals to take bold actions.
• Healthy relationships require vulnerability, open communication, and a willingness to grow together.

We talk about why this message so close to her heart, her courageous stand for pit bulls and her history of volunteering and growing up around rescue animals.

This is a terrific book to pick up for your children, niece or nephew. You can find the book on amazon by searching for either "Randi Moxi," or "A Pittie Pool Party."

One of my favorite things to do is support and stand up for someone's courageous destiny and always give other's the idea that if you are not living your courageous destiny, here is one example to inspire you to find our your own journey.

Randi is a world changer, fighter and one brave authentic human being. I invite you to listen to our courageous conversation and should it move you to do so, support Randi by buying the book and even giving the book a review.

Enjoy!

So often we learn how awful divorce can be and how it creates enemies and separates families. But does it have to be that way? Can a lawyer be a guide and mediator to avoid conflict and collaborate to save time, money and generate peace?

In interviewing Anna, I found a woman passionate about avoiding unnecessary litigation, bringing families together and guiding her clients to peaceful collaborations.

This episode launches the Courageous Destiny Season 2. It is my honor to dedicate this episode to my client and friend Joni Killius. Joni has always inspired me from the first moment I met her. She has been through things most cannot even imagine. She has had cancer and survived the odds, battled and placed herself in the care of God in her recovery, she has 5 living children, experienced the loss of her baby Trinity, gotten a PHD, lost everything financially and rebuilt everything and recently has been diagnosed with Stage 4D Melanoma. In that diagnosis, she did have one clinical trial opportunity that recently she was not able to qualify for and has had complete home devastation with hurricane Ian recently clearing it's path through central Florida. This isn't made up, this all actually happened to one person. In that, when you speak to Joni she will ask you how you are doing and she will hold her chin up working through her fears with her faith in God and keep stepping up to the plate of life no matter what. If it is in your heart to help Joni, both Sherra and I make a bold request for prayer, sharing this podcast, her facebook public group Dead Folks Talking, we invite you to an event link below as well as an opportunity to share resources to the Go fund me I created for Joni and her family. Thank you in advance for listening. This couldn't be nearer to my heart and Joni needs our help even if she herself wouldn't ask for it. But I can and so can Sherra!

We are all given talents throughout our life. They show up as things we love to do and things that break us apart from the crowd. How many of us think about monetizing those gifts and making a career out of it? Cheryl Rausch, as a phychic medium, since she can remember had the amazing ability to communicate with "the other side." Only, being able to communicate to the other side has its challenges when it comes to being accepted by society. She was called a "basket case" and learned that her gift was strange and only for "certain" company. Then one day, not so long ago, she embraced her gift at a whole new level and relaunched her career as a psychic medium. In today's episode, Cheryl shares how she communicates with spirits, what she overcame to monetize her gift as a psychic medium and she honors me with the gift of re-connecting me to an old friend and mentor. I am forever grateful for this episode. For anyone, who has a gift that they are afraid to share and is looking for inspiration or anyone curious about psychic medium readings, this episode is for you.

One thing I always love to say, love and life is not all unicorns and rainbows. We can expect it to be, we can judge that it's not good if it's not all unicorns and rainbows, but really isn't it a journey of a lifetime to learn to navigate through the storms? To embark on a conscious journey of self love, one of the key components if you ask me, is to allow oneself to accept oneself and one's circumstances as they are and design and build a life anyway. Yes, even in the middle of a storm. In today's episode Moyra Gorski shares how she made herself important even though she was navigating challenges in motherhood. Moyra shares about how she consciously released the idea she could fix, manage and control her adult child experiencing the impacts of an incredibly challenging eating disorder. She explains how she created herself as the example of self love, made herself important, loved her child like a mighty warrior and consciously made sure she was not enabling her. Sometimes as a mom we choose tough love and even though it's not all unicorns and rainbows, it is in the best interest of our children. This is a must listen for all moms and daughters. We all deserve self love, even in the storms.

Diagnosis of cancer as a young woman, addiction, 6 children, another cancer diagnosis and the loss of a child. When I asked Joni Killius, "how did you survive and keep going?" Let's face it, any ONE of the things Joni had endured in life could take most of us out and here she was in front of me... an accountant, wellness enthusiast and coach, woman of faith, mom... She shared... That through each turn and twist, just when she thought, I can't do this anymore, she handed her life over to God and surrendered. She knew she couldn't do it on her her own, but she believed she wasn't alone and she had her faith to take her through. If you or anyone you know is in the eye of the storm or approaching heavy waters in life or need some inspiration, I invite you to listen to this very special interview with this very beautiful and brave woman.

"You get in life what your unconscious mind believes you deserve," Ed Bohlke, Deserve Level Coaching. I hired Ed years ago when I had this experience of waking up and not knowing where the heck I was. I was 80lbs heavier than I am today, in a career where I was not happy and quite frankly, did not see a pathway out. A good friend of mine recommended I speak to Ed Bohlke. It was one of the best decisions I had ever made. In three short months I went from stuck and trapped to requesting I join Ed in his mission to raise the Deserve Level of the Planet and become a Deserve Level coach myself. I left behind corporate America, became a speaker, podcaster, Deserve Level Coach and entrepreneur. Through Ed's coaching I had learned there was an invisible ceiling in my unconscious mind that if I hit up against it, that was the point in which I would self sabotage or just not be willing to take action to bring certain success into my life. Ed coached me to expand my awareness and raise that ceiling of my Deserve Level. That allowed me to take actions toward my desired success naturally and instinctively. I couldn't believe the dramatic difference just a few months of coaching made in my life. After I experienced the RESULTS (lost my first 30lbs and tripled my sales), the freedom and love that could be generated in raising my Deserve Level, it became my mission to inspire and coach others to also raise their Deserve Level and create miracles and giant leaps forward in their lives. In today's very special episode, I interview my coach and mentor Ed Bohlke, Founder of Deserve Level Coaching. This is a must listen to anyone ready to take on their lives with a whole new rigor. If you for a moment think, "Do I really not believe I deserve the success I have been striving for years... Could I just raise my Deserve Level and that will get me to where I have been wanting to go?" I know the answer... perhaps it's time you knew too. I invite you to listen.

In today's episode I interview my friend, Deserve Level Coach Mentee and client, Yvonne Heller. So why do people stop themselves from action when it comes to sales? Why do they go so far up the ladder of success and find any excuse to stop action growing their business? Why do they procrastinate anything to do with sales because they are just not good sales people, don't want to be salesy or simply just don't have time for sales? If this sounds like you, this is a must listen. In my coaching I have observed, anyone can be handed a blueprint to success identifying all of the actions one needs to take to be successful. But... so many just won't take the actions or will for a time and just mysteriously STOP action right before the real success hits. In today's conversation, Yvonne and I identify some of the potential unconscious limits that keep a person stuck and a true solution to this mysterious conundrum that impacts so many sales people and entrepreneurs. I invite you to listen now! You deserve it!

Kristin Crockett interviews Kimberly Lechnick about faith and how trust in God can clear away blocks, create peace and inspiration to move forward. How do we navigate the unthinkable? There are times in all our lives when we are rejected, torn down and are challenged with circumstances growing up and as adults that are seemingly almost impossible to navigate. They create anger, upset and can certainly stall or slow down a person's life. But what if that was supposed to happen? What if because the obstacles and challenging circumstances happened were actually a blessing that moved you down the path of life to exactly where you are supposed to be? What if there were no accidents and those challenges were actually the framework necessary to guide you toward your destiny? In today's episode I interview Kimberly Lechnick relationship coach, T.V.

In today's episode I interview Shirley Solis (www.newcodeexperience.com). We have an incredible discussion on the inner workings and importance of expanding awareness and re-coding the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is 95% of the way that we think.

Why can things be so HARD? How can you make doing things that seem impossible fun and natural? LISTEN to this episode! I met Shirley a few years back at her event "Live Life the Experience." I traveled from Chicago to Miami 3 times to be part of her amazing event. This event truly helped me transform my parenting, my relationships and more.
