What if the doors that close in your life are actually guiding you toward your true calling? In this powerful episode of Wake Up to Your Life Magic, host Dr. Helmut Lucero-Love sits down with leadership coach, speaker, and consultant Mary Kay Hunt (Coach MK)—a woman with over 30 years of experience helping leaders and organizations rise through purpose-driven, human-centered leadership. Mary Kay shares her deeply personal journey—from spending six years trying (and failing) to get into dental school to realizing that rejection was divine redirection. What felt like failure became the foundation for a life devoted to transforming leaders, teams, and entire organizations—especially in healthcare.Together, Dr. Helmut and Coach MK explore what it truly means to wake up, listen to your inner guidance, and lead with integrity in a world often driven by profit over people.✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:• Why technical skill alone never makes a great leader• How getting fired from her first job became a life-altering wake-up call• The spiritual roots of enthusiasm (“entheos” – God within)• Why following your gut is a form of divine guidance• How leaders lose credibility when values and actions don’t align• The tension between corporate morality and soul-aligned work• The human qualities AI can never replace—intuition, empathy, connection• The balance of heroic masculinity and compassionate femininity in leadership• Coach MK’s Catalyst Methodology for purpose-driven success• A reminder that every day is a fresh beginning—you’re never stuck being who you were yesterday. This is a warm, faith-infused, no-BS conversation about leadership as a calling, not a compromise—and about creating work and lives that feel meaningful, aligned, and alive.

🌱 Closing wisdom from Coach MK: “Every single day is a new beginning. You’re allowed to not be the person you were five minutes ago.”🔗
