For a long time, I worked hard creating content, building programs, and polishing the details… and still wondered why it wasn't converting the way I wanted. The breakthrough came when I realized that conversion is rarely a "marketing trick." It's a relationship outcome—and relationships are built when we intentionally place ourselves in the right rooms and nurture genuine connections.

I'll share stories from Podfest, lessons from moving from a brick-and-mortar business into the online space, and how one connection can create a ripple effect that leads to opportunities, clients, collaborations—and sometimes even the tipping point you've been waiting for.

If you're ready to grow with more ease, build your visibility organically, and create conversions that feel natural (not salesy), this episode is for you.

Question for you: Where is one place you can show up this week—and one connection you can nurture with intention?

If this resonates, leave a review, share this episode with a friend, and remember: you are here to become the person you're meant to be and live the life you're destined to live.

What does it truly mean to play a bigger game in life and business?

In this powerful conversation, Mike Handcock shares his remarkable journey from becoming an orphan at 15 to rising as a global leader in conscious business, leadership, and thought leadership. His story is a testament to what's possible when resilience meets vision—and when we choose to think beyond survival and step into significance.

Mike challenges listeners to expand their perspective, tap into their creative power, and recognize the responsibility that comes with influence. Through storytelling, ethical speaking, and conscious leadership, he illustrates how playing a bigger game isn't about ego or scale—it's about impact, legacy, and the lives we touch along the way.

Together, we explore how self-awareness, collaboration, and values-driven leadership allow us to create meaningful change, build lasting businesses, and leave behind more than achievements—beautiful memories and a positive ripple effect.

This episode is an invitation to stop playing small, believe in what's possible for you, and lead with intention, integrity, and heart.

Happy New Year 2026. A New Year's Message from Sabine.

Reflections and looking forward to an exciting 2026.

What if the thing you've been chasing—more success, more money, more control—has been quietly costing you the one thing you actually crave?
This special Christmas episode is a modern parable about the hidden hunger that achievement can't satisfy… and the surprising shift that changes everything: from getting more to becoming more. If you've ever felt successful on paper but strangely empty inside, this story will meet you right where you are—and leave you with a question you'll carry long after the episode ends.

In this engaging conversation, Sabine Kvenberg interviews Sereda Fowlkes, a holistic health expert, who shares her journey from being an insurance agent to focusing on women's health. They discuss the importance of nutrient absorption, dietary changes, and the impact of modern farming on food quality. Sereda emphasizes the need for supplementation due to mineral deficiencies in our diets and shares valuable life lessons about personal growth and decision-making. The conversation concludes with insights on empowering women through health and wellness, particularly during menopause.
