What if the badge of hustle is actually the burden blocking your purpose? We sit down with speaker, strategist, and best-selling author Shelley Meche'tte for a powerful update on her journey—surviving three strokes in one day, finding her voice again, and letting grace, not grind, set the pace. Shelley’s story doesn’t glamorize near-death. It reorders what matters: identity over titles, alignment over applause, and stewardship over striving.

We unpack how purpose can stay the same at its core while the assignment changes, sometimes overnight. Shelley shares how she moved from a profitable but misaligned path to serving faith-driven women entrepreneurs with simple, grounded strategies that prevent burnout. Her framework of “solids and flexibles” is a practical game-changer: protect your non-negotiables, then let the rest breathe. From shutting the house down at a set time to prepping breakfast and clothes the night before, these small choices reduce decision fatigue and keep momentum steady. We also explore how intuition—the nudge of the Holy Spirit—guides pivots in business, relationships, and routines without drama or doubt.

This conversation is honest about fear and starting over. Shelley challenges limiting beliefs like “you can’t revamp after years of work” and shows how past experience becomes a blueprint for what’s next. We talk gratitude as a daily anchor, fulfillment as the truest metric of fit, and the reality of our finite time—what we do with the dash between dates. If you’re craving clarity, calmer days, and a business that aligns with your calling, this is your reset.

Start before it’s perfect. That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with real estate broker, investor, and developer Armando Roman, whose journey stretches from low-income housing to leading a growing brokerage while flipping and holding properties across Western Massachusetts. We explore how faith, mentorship, and daily systems convert adversity into advantage—and why waiting for ideal conditions is the fastest way to stall your future.

Armando breaks down how he moved from landlord to the BRRRR strategy—buy, rehab, rent, refinance—to scale acquisitions and recycle capital. He shares the moment he earned his license to move faster on distressed multifamily deals, then co-founded Signature Realty to create a win-win platform where clients and agents could thrive. We dive into the mechanics of finding and structuring deals, the power of value-first networking, and the underrated skill of bringing mentors something tangible—like a real lead—so you can learn while you earn.

The conversation isn’t just tactics; it’s mindset. We tackle limiting beliefs rooted in scarcity, how language shapes outcomes, and why your closest circle often predicts your trajectory. From navigating divorce and career pivots to raising kids and building systems, we talk about planning tomorrow tonight, holding yourself accountable, and protecting your energy so you can lead with generosity and grit. If you’ve hesitated to buy because rates aren’t perfect or to start a project because the path isn’t clear, this is your push to act, iterate, and let time and equity do their work.

Some stories don’t just inspire—they recalibrate what you believe is possible. Today we sit down with Shauna, a women’s embodiment mentor, yoga teacher, and Gene Keys guide who rebuilt her life after profound childhood trauma. She walks us through the turning points that moved her from anger and hypervigilance to a grounded practice of trust, presence, and self-leadership. You’ll hear how therapy opened the door, but embodiment—yoga, breath, somatic tools, and energy work—actually rewired the patterns living in her body.

We unpack that familiar feeling of being stuck and why it often comes from unclear desire rather than lack of discipline. Shauna’s no-fluff approach invites a new pledge: trust your inner nudge, decide, then back your decision without self-punishment. We challenge the myth of self-sacrifice and show why your joy is a strategy, not a luxury. When you become resourced, your energy changes everything you touch—parenting, work, health, and creativity. Maria shares a raw story of illness and recovery that proves putting on your own oxygen mask first can be life-saving and life-shaping.

Curious about Gene Keys? Shauna demystifies this contemplative system that names your shadows, gifts, and highest expressions. Instead of “fixing,” you learn to watch patterns with compassion until they reveal the gift they’ve been guarding. Real-world stories bring it home: careers realigned, relationships completed with grace, and long-dormant art returning to the center of life. If you’re overwhelmed or unsure where to start, Shauna offers the simplest first step—get into your body for five minutes a day. Move, breathe, dance, or step into the ocean. Movement moves stories, and small repetitions build self-trust like compound interest.

If this conversation lights a spark, share it with someone who needs a gentle nudge toward their next chapter. Subscribe for more courageous stories, leave a review to help others find the show, and tell us: what’s one decision you’re ready to back today?
