In this powerful episode, I'm chatting with Kiley Poole, an Air Force Veteran, and mom, who is focusing her talents and energy to help heal those who served.

Despite being traumatized by toxic female leadership during her time in service, Kiley is committed to her own healing journey and leaning into being in community with women, with an open heart, and an open mind. Kiley's honest and raw perspective about tearing down walls and showing up authentically is allowing her to embrace her passion to help women Veterans understand that they are not alone.

Serving on Project Healing Waters' Women on the Fly Task Force, Kiley is focusing on fostering a safe space where women Veterans can find connection and flourish. With a mission to build something beautiful, Kiley reminds us that our stories are important and it's ok to feel a hug, feel a hand, and breathe.

This week, I sit down with U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, Doreen Bender Johnson, to chat about her deep sense of compassion and love for others, which stems from the belief that we are all here for each other.

In this candid interview, Doreen shares her experiences about navigating racial animosity, rebuilding post-divorce, the sense of joy that can be found when we take time to listen to others, and finding love again through the gift of dance.

When we follow our hearts and our passions, Doreen reminds us that that's where we find love.

This week, I'm chatting with Alex Mufson, a CEO, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and serial entrepreneur who started her first business at three years old. She built Aspen Growth Coaching, a values-led company from zero to seven figures in three years with no seed money, no investors and no compromises and is now on a personal and professional mission, through her latest venture, Rêv, to redirect the flow of capital from those who do harm with it to those who heal with it.

In this enlightening conversation, we talk about how to harness the power of Human Design to understand our uniqueness, and in doing so, revolutionize our lives so we may contribute to the world in the most authentic and positive ways possible.

Seven years ago, in her early 40's, artisan Dakota Meeks stepped away from her professional career in conservation, without much of a plan, but with a deep knowingness that she had to follow her purpose.
