  • Owning Your Story and Breaking Barriers in Media with Erin Saxton

    Owning Your Story and Breaking Barriers in Media with Erin Saxton
    2026/07/15
    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Guest Name, Erin Saxton, Emmy-nominated TV producer and PR and Media expert of The Erin Network. She candidly shares how lifelong self-discovery, resilience, and curiosity have shaped her story, offering practical lessons on valuing yourself and finding purpose through life's challenges. In today's episode, we discuss: Audit the influences in your upbringing. Notice which family members shaped your habits and values, both the qualities you wanted to emulate and those you didn't. Use this pattern recognition to build intentional behaviors in your own life, learning from their successes and missteps so you can consciously choose what to pass on or set aside. Challenge limiting beliefs about self-worth. Recognize where early experiences, like being judged for your appearance, may have shaped your self-image. By bringing these narratives to the surface, you can break free from their grip and learn to value yourself beyond external validation, allowing for greater confidence in all facets of life. Transform challenges into motivation. When faced with setbacks or fears, treat them as personal dares to grow. This mindset reframes difficult experiences into purposeful action, inspiring resilience and driving you to break through barriers rather than remain stuck. Find the angle that makes your story stand out. If you want to get noticed—whether in business or life—don't just follow the crowd. Shift your perspective ever slightly to uncover what makes you unique. This "one degree" of difference is what creates opportunities, gets you seen, and ensures you're not lost in a sea of sameness. Keep moving forward, no matter what. Embrace resilience as a daily mantra: even on tough days, prioritize action over inertia. This practice maintains momentum, builds emotional strength, and models for others that persistence is often the key differentiator in long-term success.

  • Break Your Money Story

    Break Your Money Story
    2026/07/23
    Today on Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Ben Millan, Owner of Serenity Retirement and Retirement Planning Specialist, whose journey into the financial industry wasn't inspired by wealth—it was inspired by love. Growing up, Ben watched his father work hard while struggling financially. Instead of allowing that experience to define his future, he made a decision that would shape the rest of his life: he would break the cycle. What began as a desire to protect his parents and provide a different future for his own family became a lifelong mission to help others build financial confidence, security, and a lasting legacy. Throughout our conversation, Ben shares why success begins long before your bank account changes. It begins with changing the story you tell yourself, embracing new possibilities, and having the courage to become someone your past never prepared you to be. In This Episode, We Discuss Break Your Money Story The circumstances you were born into may influence your relationship with money, but they don't have to define your future. Ben shares how watching his father struggle financially became the catalyst, not the excuse, for creating a different life for himself and his family. Your greatest challenges can become the foundation for your greatest purpose. Change Your Mindset Before You Change Your Finances Financial success isn't simply about earning more money—it's about believing you're capable of creating a different future. Ben introduces the concept of your "financial thermostat" and explains why lasting success begins by raising your expectations of what's possible before your income ever changes. Build a Legacy—Not Just a Career Everything changed when Ben stopped thinking of himself as someone working in a business and started leading one. That shift in perspective transformed his work from a career into a legacy, one designed to create generational opportunity for his children and positively impact the families he serves. Growth Requires Openness, Curiosity, and the Willingness to Evolve Whether it's embracing new technology, learning from mentors, or challenging long-held beliefs, Ben believes the greatest opportunities belong to those who remain open to change. The people who continue learning are the ones who continue growing. Failure Isn't the Opposite of Success—It's Part of the Journey The most successful people aren't the ones who avoid failure; they're the ones who refuse to let failure stop them. Ben shares why persistence, discipline, and relentless commitment ultimately matter more than talent, and how every setback becomes preparation for what's next. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may shape our story, but they don't have to determine the ending. The moment we become aware of the beliefs we've inherited and are willing to question them is the moment we begin writing a new chapter. With openness, curiosity, and the courage to grow, we can transform our experiences into purpose, create new possibilities for ourselves, and build a legacy that changes the future for the generations that follow. Carry This Forward Notice What story have you been telling yourself that it's time to rewrite? Reflect What beliefs have you inherited that continue to shape that story? Act What's one courageous step you can take this week to begin writing your next chapter?

Since founding Serenity Retirement in 2006, Ben has made it his mission to simplify complex financial concepts so people can make informed decisions about their future. Drawing from his own life experiences, he believes financial literacy should be accessible to everyone and that understanding how money works is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and the people we love. Through education, personalized guidance, and a passion for serving others, Ben helps clients move beyond uncertainty to create retirement strategies that align with their goals, values, and the legacy they want to leave for future generations.

  • Making Your Own Way

    Making Your Own Way
    2026/08/12
    Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Damaris Melo-Gyasi, architect, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and author of Making My Way: A Story of Grit and Grace. Her story isn't simply about building a successful business. It's about learning to create a life that reflected who she truly was, rather than the limitations others expected her to accept. Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, in a working-class Pentecostal family, Damaris was surrounded by love, discipline, and faith—but also by unspoken expectations about what was possible. At just seven years old, seeing a female architect for the first time expanded her understanding of what her future could hold. That single moment of possibility became the beginning of a journey that would take her across countries, cultures, and careers. Through scholarship opportunities, entrepreneurship, and countless moments of uncertainty, Damaris learned that making your own way isn't about having all the answers. It's about having the courage to keep moving forward, trusting your values, embracing your strengths, and creating opportunities not only for yourself, but for others. Together, we explore how leadership is less about achieving perfection and more about becoming the person capable of creating meaningful influence and lasting impact. Together, We Explore The Power of Seeing New Possibilities Sometimes transformation begins with a single moment that changes what we believe is possible. For Damaris, seeing a woman working as an architect at seven years old quietly challenged every expectation she had inherited about her future. That experience reminds us that expanding our vision often begins long before we possess the confidence to pursue it. When Excellence Replaces Perfection Perfection promises safety but often keeps us from fully stepping into our potential. Damaris shares how releasing the need to have every answer allowed her to lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and resilience. Excellence isn't about flawless performance; it's about consistently bringing your best while continuing to learn and grow. You Don't Have to Be Everything Many leaders believe success means mastering every skill themselves. Damaris discovered that sustainable leadership comes from recognizing where others are stronger, trusting their expertise, and building teams whose collective strengths far exceed any one individual's abilities. Leadership grows when we stop proving ourselves and begin empowering others. Redefining Success Through Influence Titles, promotions, and financial success can open doors—but they don't always create meaningful impact. Building her own architecture firm allowed Damaris to redefine success, shifting her focus from external achievement to creating spaces, opportunities, and communities that improve people's lives. Influence became more meaningful than recognition. Leading with Courage and Conviction Our values matter most when they're tested. Whether advocating for her employees or navigating difficult conversations with clients, Damaris demonstrates that leadership requires the courage to protect people, uphold boundaries, and remain aligned with what matters most, even when those conversations feel uncomfortable. Respect is often earned through conviction delivered with grace. A Moment That Changed Everything Sometimes the moments that shape our future seem almost insignificant at the time. For Damaris, it wasn't receiving a degree, launching a business, or publishing a book. It was seeing someone who reflected a future she had never imagined for herself. One small moment expanded her vision of what was possible. Years later, she would become that example for countless others. Leadership often begins when someone helps us believe that our future can be larger than our circumstances A Final Reflection Every leader has a story they didn't choose. Our upbringing, our circumstances, and the expectations placed upon us all leave their mark. But those experiences do not have to become the boundaries of our future. Damaris reminds us that making your own way isn't about rejecting where you came from. It's about honoring what shaped you while choosing, with courage and intention, the path you're meant to create. The most influential leaders aren't those who follow someone else's blueprint. They're the ones willing to write their own. Carry This Forward Notice Where in your life or leadership are you still waiting for permission that no one else can give you? Reflect What story about yourself has quietly outlived its usefulness? Act Choose one courageous conversation or meaningful action you've been postponing. Take the first step this week, trusting that clarity often comes through movement, not certainty.

  • Understanding Brain Chemistry and Healing from Within

    Understanding Brain Chemistry and Healing from Within
    2026/08/19
    Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Dr. Cristine Hull—Integrative Mental Health Expert and founder of Health, Healing & Wholeness, LLC. Cristine's journey into understanding the brain wasn't simply a career choice; it was a deeply personal search to better understand herself. Inspired at just nine years old by her uncle's pioneering work in biochemical research, she developed an early fascination with the connection between brain chemistry, emotions, and behavior. As someone who quietly lived with persistent low moods, she began journaling her thoughts and emotions long before she had the language to describe what she was experiencing. That curiosity became the foundation for a lifelong pursuit of understanding the relationship between our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. In this conversation, Cristine shares how her personal journey shaped her work as a school psychologist, substance abuse counselor, and integrative mental health practitioner. Together, we explore why understanding ourselves more deeply is often the first step toward lasting healing. In This Episode, We Explore Curiosity Can Be the Beginning of Healing Cristine shares how her own search for answers transformed into a lifelong mission to help others better understand themselves. Rather than simply managing symptoms, she encourages us to become curious about what our minds and bodies may be trying to communicate. Understanding That Depression Isn't One-Size-Fits-All Many people think of depression as a single condition with a single solution. Cristine explains that there are different forms of depression, including Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)—and why understanding those differences can help people have more informed conversations with qualified healthcare professionals and find the support that best fits their individual needs. Caring for the Whole Person Cristine introduces her "Wellness Diamond," a framework that encourages us to look at well-being through four interconnected dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. She shares why lasting wellness often comes from considering Small Daily Practices Can Create Meaningful Change One of Cristine's own turning points came when she shifted her focus from simply tracking difficult emotions to intentionally practicing gratitude. She discusses how small, consistent habits can gradually reshape the way we experience ourselves and the world around us. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may influence our story, but they don't have to define its ending. Cristine reminds us that healing doesn't begin when everything around us changes; it begins when we're willing to become curious about what's happening within us. Whether you're navigating stress, discouragement, anxiety, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, greater self-understanding can open the door to meaningful change. Sometimes the most important step forward isn't finding all the answers. It's asking better questions. Carry This Forward Notice What habits or coping strategies have you been relying on simply to get through the day? Reflect What might your mind or body be asking you to pay closer attention to?

After earning her Doctorate in Natural Medicine from Quantum University, she crafted her own transformative model — weaving emotional tools, evidence-based assessments, and quantum medicine into everyday practice. Her approach feels less like a therapy couch and more like an awakening - where science meets soul. Cristine brings empathy, storytelling, and a lively spark, turning complex concepts into relatable "aha" moments.

  • Stefoni Rossiter - Still Becoming ~ More Living with Openness, curiosity, and possibility

    Stefoni Rossiter - Still Becoming ~ More Living with Openness, curiosity, and possibility
    2026/04/15
    Rather than answers, this celebrates curiosity and openness. It affirms that becoming isn't about arriving, it's about staying awake to possibility. Core question: What does "more" mean to you now, and how will you make room for it? Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Stefoni Rossiter, retired educator, caregiver, and creative spirit. She shares how this season of transition has opened the door to deeper self-trust, creativity, and a more compassionate way of becoming. In today's episode, we discuss: Pay attention to what has always drawn you in. The things we were naturally curious about early in life often still point toward what matters most to us now. Looking back can help you notice patterns you may have overlooked and reconnect with parts of yourself that are still waiting to be used. Creativity does not have an expiration date. Whether it is sketching, journaling, cooking, gardening, writing, or building something with your hands, trying something new can open up a different kind of confidence. You do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Your role can change without your value changing. A transition like retirement, caregiving, or a career shift can leave you wondering who you are without your old responsibilities. Identity can expand, and a new season does not erase the impact of the one before it. Self-care can be practical and personal. It does not have to look fancy to matter. For Stefoni, routines, movement, reading, gardening, and creative time all help her stay grounded, and that is a good reminder that self-care works best when it actually fits your life. You do not have to do it perfectly to do it well. Stefoni's willingness to try, fail, adjust, and keep going is part of what makes her story so relatable. That same mindset can help anyone loosen their grip on perfection and make room for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio: Stefoni Rossiter is a veteran theater arts performer, director, and choreographer with over 50 years of experience. Retiring from full-time teaching in 2024, she now teaches middle school theater arts part-time at a local charter school. Awards: Parent of the Year, Autism Society Ventura, California, Mayor's Award for Arts Educator of the Year 6 Teachers of the semester awards Teacher of the year Inducted into the Hall of Fame Since retirement, Stefoni has learned to fill her days with self-care, which includes incorporating daily creativity.

  • Still Becoming: Beyond Achievement: What Happens When Success Stops Being The Point with Stephanie Baker

    Still Becoming: Beyond Achievement: What Happens When Success Stops Being The Point with Stephanie Baker
    2026/03/18

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Stephanie Baker, Chief Experience Officer and artist. She highlights her journey of moving beyond achievement, sharing how embracing vulnerability, creativity, and leading with empathy has redefined what true success means, for herself, her teams, and those she mentors.

    In today's episode, we discuss:

    • Reimagine your definition of success. Step back from titles and checkboxes. Ask yourself whether your work aligns with your core values and your true impact. When your work is a reflection of who you are, fulfillment finds you, not the other way around.

    • Lead with empathy and inclusion. Performance isn't just about KPIs; it's about how people feel in your presence. When you foster empathy, inclusion, and psychological safety, you build teams that are resilient, innovative, and engaged at every level.

    • Make becoming a lifelong pursuit. You don't have to have it all figured out. The most effective, impactful leaders are those who stay open to growth and keep redefining who they are—at work and in life.

    • Protect your energy unapologetically. Learn to say "no"—and realize that it's a complete sentence. Being deliberate with your time and focus allows you to say "yes" to what truly matters and show up at your best.

    • Give yourself permission to explore new interests. Try picking up something new—painting, mentoring, creating. You never know which hidden strengths or sources of joy are waiting for you. (Check out her paintings in the show notes. She is GIFTED!)

  • Still Becoming, Untapped Courage: The Bravery Required To Choose More, With Elizabeth Haggerty

    Still Becoming, Untapped Courage: The Bravery Required To Choose More, With Elizabeth Haggerty
    2026/03/11
    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Elizabeth Haggerty, EVP Customer Solutions, America's Division, CRH. She highlights how navigating life's and career pivots, unexpected business challenges, and a life-changing health diagnosis led her to discover untapped reserves of courage and resilience, offering real-life strategies to thrive through uncertainty and continual growth. In today's episode, we discuss: Adopt the "one foot in, one foot out" approach. When considering a new role or industry, bring core skills you already have while stretching into new territory, so you're growing without completely untethering yourself. Let your setbacks refine, not define, you. When a business is sold, or a role ends abruptly, even through being fired, treat it as a painful but powerful pivot point, not a verdict on your worth or future potential. Integrate joy and self-care into your life. Make space for passions, hobbies, and relationships outside of work. These experiences not only enhance your overall well-being but also give you energy and perspective to face professional challenges with renewed spirit. Redefine your identity beyond job titles. Reflect on how external achievements and positions have shaped your sense of self. Shift your focus from titles to your skill sets, values, and unique contributions. This empowers you to navigate transitions and derive fulfillment from multiple aspects of life. Release the need to do everything alone. Accept that asking for help is a sign of wisdom, not weakness. Rely on your team's expertise and focus on asking insightful questions. This collaborative approach strengthens outcomes and develops your leadership. Guest Bio: Elizabeth Haggerty is a high-impact executive with over a 35-year history of driving growth and profitability in the building products industry. Starting in the HVAC industry leading global product and channel P&Ls before transitioning to the industrial material products space where she has led large P&L businesses and key customer growth strategies. Liz has experience in green fielding businesses as well as leading turn arounds and corporate carve-outs. All of this done through building and developing high performing teams and investing in leadership development. She has a bachelor's and master's degree in metallurgical engineering and an MBA. Elizabeth has been recognized by: Glass Magazine as one of the industry's Most Influential People, Engineered Systems Magazine as 20 Women to Watch HVAC and by Industry Week for women in manufacturing.

    Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Melissa Muir, acclaimed jewelry artist and teacher. She highlights how embracing life's unexpected pivot points opens new paths for creativity, personal growth, and transformation. In today's episode, we discuss: Honor your pivot points. Notice the moments whernt feels like a dead end. What would be different if you chose to see it as a time to redesign? Use every closed door or "mistake" as information for your next step. Allow creativity to be learned. Release the belief that you're "not creative" and give yourself permission to practice, experiment, and grow your skills one imperfect attempt at a time. Come home to your own truth. Gently question inherited beliefs, rules, and expectations so you can build a true relationship with yourself, the divine, and others that feels loving, spacious, and genuinely your. Choose communities that help you flourish. Intentionally seek out people who are curious, creative, and kind, knowing that "creativity breeds creativity" and you don't have to do it alone. Talk gently to your younger self. Revisit the bullied, lonely, or hurting version of you and let them know what's coming, so you can release old pain and stand more fully in who you are now.
