Survival mode will make you grind… but it won’t always make you grow.

On this episode of Unplugged with Pam, I’m joined by my great friend Carlos Gutierrez (Financially Fluent)community leader, father, husband, and financial strategist—for a raw conversation about mindset, mental health, and the real decisions behind entrepreneurship.

We talk immigration, leaving corporate, divorce, therapy, and why the most powerful people aren’t the ones who never struggle… they’re the ones who keep going anyway.

What happens after the dream comes true… and then ends?

In Episode 7 of Unplugged with Pam — fittingly BJ Daniels’ lucky number — Pamela Pacheco sits down with former NFL quarterback and Super Bowl Champion BJ Daniels for a raw conversation about fame, failure, identity, and mental health after the spotlight fades.

BJ opens up about:

• Life after the NFL and the silent mental health battles athletes face
• Losing your identity when the game is over
• Finding Yourself!
• Transitioning into corporate America with no roadmap
• The importance of Family, and Community
• How fitness and art became his therapy
• Redefining success beyond applause, titles, and trophies

This episode isn’t about football — it’s about identity, transition, and becoming who you are next!

In this episode of Unplugged with Pam, I sit with Jennifer Fox — powerhouse wife, mom of three, and serial entrepreneur who co-owns 15 companies — to talk about what it really takes to lead, love, build, and protect your home in a world that glorifies hustle culture.

Jennifer went from corporate sales at Coca-Cola to running her husband’s business and building her own thriving company. Along the way, motherhood, faith, and mental-health awareness reshaped her entire approach to leadership and family life.

We dive into:

• Corporate to CEO: making the leap into entrepreneurship

• What it’s like to co-own 15 companies and still protect your peace

• Why mental health matters in marriage, parenting, business, and team culture

• How she studied mental health to support her husband and children

• Setting boundaries (no emails after 5 PM, no weekends burned out)

• Building a people-first company culture

• How reading the Bible changed her leadership

If you’re a faith-driven leader, mom, or entrepreneur who wants to build success without sacrificing your family or your mental health, this conversation will speak to you deeply.
