About this listen

You might be asking yourself what’s a strong sunflower? And if Webster were to define it… it would say…Someone that conditions their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength to use their voice and actions to improve their life and inspire the people around them. This podcast will range from 10 minute episodes, to give you that shot of motivation you need to keep going. And episodes that dig a little deeper (and last a little longer) where we interview people in different parts of their journey. Whether in the seed planting phase, where there’s hope and courage. In the rooting or stemming phase, where there’s trial, error, and failure but they have the audacity to get up and try again. Or people that are in full bloom and harvest! Where we celebrate and reflect on their journey and cast visions towards the future.Gisselle and Zana Self-Help Success

  • Episode 233 - Lean Into the No: Building Resilience Through Rejection
    Jan 26 2026

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    Diving deep into the often-avoided topic of rejection—and why it might be one of the most powerful tools for personal growth. Exploring the psychological and emotional impact rejection has on our nervous system, share personal stories of facing “no’s,” and break down how to reframe rejection as redirection rather than failure.

    Through honest conversation and practical strategies, this episode encourages listeners to intentionally invite rejection into their lives as a way to build resilience, strengthen self-worth, and regulate emotions in moments of discomfort. If fear of rejection has been holding you back from going after your goals, this episode will challenge you to lean in, take the risk, and grow anyway 🌻

  • Episode 232 - You Can't HATE from up CLOSE | MLK Day of Service
    Jan 19 2026

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    We celebrate our 5-year anniversary while honoring the heart and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through the lens of service, community, and real human connection. Inspired by MLK Day of Service, we dive into what it truly means to show up—not just online, but in real life—where empathy is felt, kindness is practiced, and hate simply can’t survive up close.

    We unpack the transformational power of volunteerism, sharing personal stories and science-backed insights on how giving back boosts emotional well-being, reduces stress, and strengthens our sense of purpose. This episode is a reminder that kindness is a choice—and one that has the power to heal individuals, bridge communities, and create lasting change. If you’ve been looking for a sign to get involved, lead with love, or serve in a deeper way… this is it 🌻

  • Episode 231 - Vision With Intention: Dream It, Work for It, Become It ✨
    Jan 12 2026

    Hello Strong Sunflowers 🌻

    We dive into the power of vision boards as a meaningful tool for turning dreams into reality. Sharing personal stories, explore the pros and cons of digital versus physical vision boards, and unpack why intentional goal-setting matters at every stage of life.

    The conversation highlights the delicate balance between chasing personal goals and honoring family responsibilities, while remembering that manifestation isn’t just about dreaming—it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and staying aligned with your purpose. With an emphasis on community, accountability, and reflection, this episode encourages us to dream boldly, trust the process, and remember that vision paired with action creates real change.
