  • You Don’t Need More Willpower, You Need Support with Diane Rolston (DW347)
    Jan 13 2026

    You may be thinking that in order to get to your goals, you need more willpower, but you don't. The problem isn't discipline. It's trying to carry growth, decisions, and momentum all alone. Listen as Diane explains why willpower is finite but support is sustaining.

    Our host, Diane Rolston, shares her own experience of quiet burnout from pushing harder alone and what changed when she realized she didn't need more discipline. She just needed support.

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    1. Why high-achieving women are taught to "try harder, be stronger, figure it out yourself" and the hidden cost of this approach
    2. The truth about willpower
    3. The three powerful things support gives you that willpower never can
    4. The Les Brown quote that changes everything
    5. The reason why growth stalls without support
    6. The difference between support where you only receive versus equal environments where you can give and receive
    7. Real client feedback from The Breakthrough 2025: "I didn't realize how much I needed the monthly calls until I had them"
    8. Why quarterly check-ins weren't enough and how monthly support moved women far beyond their original goals
    9. Two reflection questions to ask yourself right now about where you're relying on willpower instead of support

  • Stop Letting the Year Happen to You with Diane Rolston (DW346)
    Jan 6 2026

    Imagine ending 2026 feeling clear, proud, and steady. You're not burned out, you're not scrambling, you're not wondering, "Where did the year go?" You’re feeling like you just lived the year instead of actually making it how you want it to be.

    Listen as Diane Rolston shares how to stop letting the year happen to you. She shares a practice she has used for over 15 years that helps her avoid feeling as if the year just passed or flew by without achieving what she wanted.

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    1. Why most successful women feel disconnected despite being successful on paper
    2. The powerful question that creates a completely different kind of year
    3. Why years blur together, and what high achievers lack that causes them to default to action instead of intention
    4. What a true breakthrough year actually requires (hint: it's not bigger goals, hustling harder, or fitting more in)
    5. The four essential elements for your Breakthrough year: clarity before action, intentional pacing, a blueprint you can revisit, and support to get you there
    6. Two reflection questions to ask right now
    7. Why being the "solo silo" approach to goals leaves you exhausted even when you're achieving
    8. How having a one-page blueprint you reference daily becomes rocket fuel for your goals - versus goals alone, leaving results on the table
    9. The announcement: The Breakthrough 2026, which is a year-long coaching experience with monthly group sessions (not just a one-time goal-setting workshop)

  • Your December Survival Guide — Feeling Good Instead of Overwhelmed with Diane Rolston (DW342)
    Dec 9 2025

    We're a couple of weeks into December, and are you already starting to feel overwhelmed?

    As women, we carry the majority of the holiday load and frankly, the majority of the mental load all year. It's expected, assumed, and often invisible.

    This episode isn't about managing your calendar or finding more time in your day. It's your December Survival Guide, so you can actually feel good this season instead of overwhelmed. Our host, Diane Rolston, is your little elf here to support you through the month.

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    • Why 52% of women feel more anxious than excited about the holidays and why your exhaustion isn't personal, it's structural
    • The invisible expectations that actually cause December overwhelm (hint: it's not the decorations or dinners)
    • The one question most people never ask that changes everything
    • The power of intentional subtraction: why doing less on purpose doesn't make you lazy, it makes you wise
    • Seven practical ways to subtract strategically: from fewer events and simplified meals to smaller gift lists and delegating tasks

  • Hope in the Face of Cancer with Darcie Wells (DW341)
    Dec 2 2025

    Those affected by cancer need hope and someone who understands what they are going through, and that is where CanCare steps in.

    In this interview, our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Darcie Wells, President & CEO of CanCare, to explore her incredible journey of growing a 30-year-old nonprofit into a nationwide movement and the powerful business lessons that apply to any entrepreneur.

    Listen to learn these key takeaways:

    • The "match.com of cancer support" concept and why having a survivor by your side who truly gets it makes all the difference
    • How Darcie grew CanCare's revenue by 60% and cash reserves by 300% while expanding from Houston only to serving all 50 states in just five years
    • The pivotal covid moment that forced a complete business model transformation, and how saying "yes" to going virtual opened doors to 28 states and 5 countries
    • Why nonprofits are businesses too, and how curating the right board of directors (or personal board) with specific skill sets accelerates growth
    • The surprising benefits of publishing a bestselling book and launching a podcast for strategic partnerships and opening doors that wouldn't return your calls
    • Real strategies for laser focus: the dashboard approach to tracking what matters most and the power of regular accountability
    • Why "faith over fear" and being willing to fail fast are essential for growth, plus Darcie's honest approach of "I don't know if this will work, but let's try."
    • Practical advice for both those facing cancer and those supporting someone through the journey (hint: specific offers beat "let me know if you need anything")
