Power Lunch Podcast

In this soulful follow-up conversation, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down again with Maggie Judge of Tools for Life to explore what it means to stop waiting to become worthy and begin claiming the life, love, and presence that are already available to us. Maggie shares how self-love, daily rituals, community, and intentional choice can create more spaciousness, trust, and freedom, especially during tender or uncertain seasons. KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-love is not a reward for becoming better; it is a practice of claiming your worth now. Wealth can be understood as having options, space, and the freedom to choose how you respond. Gratitude, meditation, and simple daily rituals can create steadiness, safety, and self-trust. Community and collaboration remind us that we do not have to figure everything out alone. Living intentionally means giving yourself permission to be fully present and to believe you are already a gift. FAVORITE QUOTES “A wealthy life is about having options.” “We all deserve a more loving relationship with ourselves.” “Why can’t we just claim it? I am a gift from God.” “Practice is what reminds us to come home to ourselves.” “What is a practice I can do today that serves the greater good?” LINKS & REFERENCES Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy Tools for Life Mira app Power Lunch Podcast MORE ABOUT MAGGIE => Learn more about Maggie Judge and Mira at ⁠Tools for Lyfe⁠ CONNECT WITH MAGGIE: Instagram: ⁠https://.instagram.com/toolsforlyfe⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/maggiej/⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://facebook.com/groups/toolsforlyfe⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://tiktok.com/@toolsforlyfe⁠ Website: ⁠Tools for Lyfe⁠ CONNECT WITH US: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If this episode gave you a new perspective or made you feel seen, share it with a woman who needs to hear it.

What if the person you become isn't shaped by one big decision, but by what you practice every day? Maggie Judge returns to the Power Lunch Podcast for a deeply personal conversation about what it means to live intentionally. After breast cancer changed the way she thought about time, relationships, and the life she wanted to create, Maggie began asking herself a powerful question: What am I practicing? Because we're all rehearsing something. We can practice courage, self-trust, love, and the way we want to show up when life gets hard. Or, without realizing it, we can rehearse worry, fear, self-doubt, and the stories that keep us stuck. Maggie joins Amy Sousa, Tracie Munce, and Lisa Carmichael to talk about learning to recognize those patterns, separating ourselves from the voice of our inner critic, and making small choices today that support the woman we're becoming. She also introduces Mira, the AI reflection partner she created to help women notice what's happening internally, stay with themselves instead of immediately trying to fix what they're feeling, and choose how they want to move forward. IN THIS EPISODE You'll hear us talk about recognizing what you're unconsciously rehearsing, why Maggie gave her inner critic a name, what Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps can teach us about preparing for difficult moments, how small emotional "twinges" can build when we continually ignore them, and how AI can become a tool for reflection rather than another source of noise. And maybe the biggest question of all: Are the things you're practicing today preparing you for the woman you want to be tomorrow? A FEW MOMENTS WE LOVED “What am I practicing as a way to move through my life differently?” “We are always practicing and rehearsing. It’s whether or not we’re doing it intentionally.” “Mira helps me stay with myself, not fix her, not abandon her.” “Who am I dressing for, the version of me right now, or the woman I’m becoming?” “Notice, stay, and choose. That’s the practice.” MORE ABOUT MAGGIE => Learn more about Maggie Judge and Mira at Tools for Lyfe CONNECT WITH MAGGIE: Instagram: https://.instagram.com/toolsforlyfe LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/maggiej/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/groups/toolsforlyfe TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@toolsforlyfe Website: Tools for Lyfe CONNECT WITH US: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If this episode gave you a new perspective or made you feel seen, share it with a woman who needs to hear it.

In Episode 47 of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Camille Heyman , co-owner of Minnesota Behavioral Specialists , for a conversation about supporting children with autism, empowering families, and building a purpose-driven business. Camille shares how ABA breaks big goals into achievable steps, why parent support is critical, and how data helps demonstrate progress. She also opens up about advocating for greater accountability in her industry and the lessons she has learned about leadership, resilience, and growth along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • ABA can help children build important skills by breaking larger goals into small, teachable steps. • Supporting a child also means supporting the family and giving parents practical tools they can use beyond therapy. • Camille asks families what they stopped doing because of autism—and how her team can help them get back to it. • Data helps measure progress and demonstrate the effectiveness of services being provided. • Small steps, clear goals, and learning from mistakes aren't just tools for working with children; they're lessons Camille applies to business and leadership too. FAVORITE QUOTES: • “If you don't have a form of communication, it's really hard to get through life.” • “What did you stop doing because you have a child with autism, and how do we get you back to doing that?” • “We're teaching them the tools to help their child learn and be successful.” • “Every one of us uses tools to get through our lives.” • “Sometimes we do make mistakes, and that's how you learn, and that's how you grow.” LINKS & REFERENCES: • Minnesota Behavioral Specialists • Drive by Daniel Pink MORE ABOUT CAMILLE HEYMAN: Camille Heyman has dedicated more than 25 years to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), helping individuals and families build skills, confidence, and meaningful connections. As Co-Owner of MBS for the past six years and President of Program Operations, she has helped grow an organization committed to going beyond traditional ABA services by supporting families in building the relationships, resources, and community connections they need long after services end. Passionate about leadership and mentorship, Camille believes lasting change happens when people recognize their strengths and invest in the power of human connection.

In Part 2 with EOS Implementer Abby Anderson , hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael go beyond the numbers to explore what it really means to feel wealthy. Abby shares how grief changed her priorities and helped her redefine success around alignment, peace, boundaries, and choice. The conversation also explores authentic living, collaboration, and why replacing “How do I do this?” with “Who can help me?” can change the way women lead, build businesses, and live. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Wealth isn't only financial. Freedom, choice, alignment, and peace can be equally meaningful measures of success. • Life-changing experiences can clarify what matters, what doesn't, and what you're no longer willing to tolerate. • Boundaries create room for the right people, opportunities, and priorities. • Authenticity begins with knowing yourself and making choices that align with who you are. • Instead of always asking “How can I do this?” ask “Who can help me do this?” Collaboration can accelerate growth and reduce burnout. FAVORITE QUOTES: • “I feel most wealthy right now, not because the numbers in my accounts are the highest, but because I feel most aligned with who I am and where I'm going.” • “We want peace. We want less chaos.” • “Go to the thing.” • “If you don't love you, how can you live an authentic life?” • “One of our first thoughts should be not ‘How can I do this?’ but ‘Who can help me do this?’” LINKS & REFERENCES: • Traction by Gino Wickman • Atomic Habits by James Clear • Living Untethered and The Untethered Soul by Michael A.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Abby Anderson for a candid conversation about women, money, and the freedom that comes from understanding what you have and what you want. From getting a clear picture of your finances to having a voice in financial decisions, Abby challenges women to stop avoiding money and start seeing it as a tool for creating choices. Together, they explore scarcity, abundance, leadership, and why building wealth begins with awareness. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Financial empowerment begins with awareness. Know what you have, what you owe, and where your money is going. • Women need to be part of financial conversations and confident speaking up about their goals, questions, and priorities. • Money is a tool, not the destination. The real goal is having the freedom and choices to create the life you want. • Getting more money into the hands of women and more women into decision-making roles can change families, businesses, and communities. • Moving beyond scarcity requires more than earning more. It also requires examining your beliefs about money, worth, and what is possible. FAVORITE QUOTES: • “Everything starts with awareness.” • “We’re not chasing a number. We’re chasing freedom.” • “For me, freedom is choice.” • “To have more, we have to become more.” • “You need to be in the room.” LINKS & REFERENCES: • Love Money, Money Loves You MORE ABOUT ABBY ANDERSON: Abby Anderson is an Coach, Facilitator and EOS Implementer with over 17+ years of experience growing and leading businesses from the inside out.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce and Lisa Carmichael sit down with nonprofit leader Dena Anderson, Director of Operations at Kinsella Angels. From foster care and single motherhood to education, nonprofit leadership, and bold moves across the country, Dena shares what she has learned about taking chances before you feel completely ready. Together, they explore accountability, community, consistency, and why meaningful impact isn’t always measured by the size of the room. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Growth often requires saying yes before the timing feels perfect. • Surrounding yourself with people who challenge and hold you accountable can change the trajectory of your leadership. • Meaningful leadership requires honest communication, humility, and a willingness to keep growing. • Impact isn’t always about reaching more people. Sometimes changing the lives of two or three people matters just as much as filling a room. • Consistency matters. Keep showing up, improving, and staying true to the mission even when you can’t see the results yet. FAVORITE QUOTES: • “You don't know what someone else needs to hear.” • “If I want to grow as a woman leader, I need to put people around me who will hold me accountable.” • “It shifted from I have to, to I get to.” • “Sometimes we get so caught up in the quantity, we forget about the quality.” • “If I stay true to the mission and keep improving, the impact will come.” LINKS & REFERENCES: • Kinsella Angels • TLC Mastermind with Lauren Lahav • Glass Ceiling Foundation and Power Lunch events MORE ABOUT DENA ANDERSON: Director of Operations Dena Anderson brings over 15 years of experience mentoring youth and 6 years as a lead teacher in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her passion for empowering young people is rooted in her own journey, including five years in foster care before being adopted at age eight.

Sheila shares her personal journey toward natural living, overcoming unhealthy habits, and learning to trust her body. Together, they explore how small changes, healthy boundaries, and a willingness to start where you are can lead to lasting transformation. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • It's never too late to improve your health, your habits, or the direction of your life. • Lasting change happens through small, consistent choices rather than perfection. • Listening to your body can provide valuable insight into your overall well-being. • Creating a healthier environment begins with the choices you make at home each day. • Healing is both physical and emotional, and caring for both is essential to long-term wellness. FAVORITE QUOTES: • "Start right now. Don't worry about what you didn't do ten years ago." • "We don't listen to our bodies. We just assume this is age." • "Whether it is truth or not, it is truth to me." • "You can control what is in your house. Outside of that, you cannot."

In Part 2 of their conversation, hosts Tracie Munce and Lisa Carmichael welcome back Dr. Kathy Sullivan, CEO and President of Operation Dignity International, to explore what it takes to create change that lasts. Kathy shares how listening first, building strong partnerships, and strengthening local systems are transforming healthcare, clean water, education, and economic opportunity in Ghana. This episode is a powerful reminder that sustainable leadership isn't about doing more for people but it's about empowering people to build a stronger future for themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Sustainable impact begins with relationships, trust, and listening before leading. • Strong systems create lasting change that extends far beyond one person or one organization. • Working alongside local leaders leads to stronger, more sustainable communities. • Courage doesn't require certainty—you can be afraid and still take the next step. • Leadership is measured by the lives you empower, not the recognition you receive. FAVORITE QUOTES: • "When you restore dignity to a person, an entire community rises with them." • "It wasn't our solution. It was their dream." • "It takes people to get the work done, but it takes a system to create sustainability." • "If you don't like change, honey, get used to it." • "You can take that next step, even though you're absolutely scared to death."

In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce and Lisa Carmichael welcome Dr. Kathy Sullivan, CEO and President of Operation Dignity International. Kathy shares how personal loss, courageous leadership, and a commitment to listening before leading have shaped her work alongside communities in Ghana. Together, they explore sustainable leadership, building systems that last, and why lasting change begins with dignity, collaboration, and empowering others to achieve their own vision. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Sustainable leadership begins by listening, building trust, and empowering communities rather than creating dependency. • Lasting impact comes from developing systems that continue serving people long after individual leaders are gone. • Collaboration with local leaders creates stronger, more sustainable solutions than working alone. • Personal loss and life's transitions can become opportunities to lead with renewed purpose and courage. • Every entrepreneur and leader has the opportunity to create a legacy that extends beyond themselves.

In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael welcome strategic marketing leader, author, artist, and educator Heather Boschke for a conversation about identity, creativity, and courage. Heather shares how a simple love of drawing birds became the Little Birdy Buddies brand, why so many women struggle to own the titles they've earned, and how authenticity remains our greatest advantage in a world increasingly shaped by AI. This episode is a reminder that confidence doesn't come before action. It grows each time we choose to show up as ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • The hardest title to claim is often the one you've already earned. • Authenticity and human connection will always be more valuable than trying to imitate someone else or rely on AI. • Building a meaningful brand happens through consistent action, even when no one seems to be watching. • Community and supportive relationships help women move beyond imposter syndrome and step into their potential. • Joy, creativity, and purpose often lead to opportunities we could never have planned. FAVORITE QUOTES: • "I am an author and an artist, and I am claiming those titles now." • "When you're in service of something bigger than yourself, it becomes easier to put yourself out there." • "Sometimes it's just returning to the things that offer us joy and letting beautiful things grow from there." • "There is no box holding us back except the one we put ourselves in." • "Remember who the f you are.

BRIEF OVERVIEW: In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with health insurance broker and health coaching enthusiast Amy Nielsen to explore a different approach to healthcare. Together, they discuss understanding your health insurance options, becoming your own health advocate, and why taking personal responsibility for your well-being can lead to better long-term outcomes. From traditional insurance and health share programs to root-cause healing and alternative wellness approaches, this conversation encourages listeners to ask better questions and make informed decisions about their health. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding your health insurance options empowers you to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary costs. Traditional insurance, cash-pay models, and health share programs each serve different needs depending on your health goals and lifestyle. Taking an active role in your healthcare can lead to more personalized treatment, lower costs, and better outcomes. Addressing the root cause of illness rather than simply managing symptoms may support long-term healing and wellness. Investing in your health today is one of the most important decisions you can make for your future. FAVORITE QUOTES: You want to make sure your healthcare experience lifts you up, not turns you into a chronic managed patient. There are problem solvers who throw Band-Aids on everything, and there are solution finders who go to the root. Your body has always been trying to keep you alive more than you want to stay alive. Starting now, while it's easy, is the time to do it because there's nothing more important than your body. If everybody healed the same way, we'd all get sick the same way.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with legacy-builder and contribution leader Loren Lahov. From growing up in a service-driven family to launching high-stakes events and the True Legacy Collective Mastermind, Loren shares how servant leadership, vision, and community have shaped her life. This conversation dives into investing in yourself, stretching beyond comfort, and refusing to dim your light as you build a legacy that outlives you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Contribution can be a lifestyle, not a line item; Loren weaves giving back into travel, business, and daily choices True leadership is servant leadership, grounded in doing the right thing and being highly intentional about who is in your circle Next-level growth happens in the stretch zone, not the comfort zone; courage must accompany confidence Vision and gratitude are practical tools; seeing who you help and celebrating every win fuels bold action Community and sisterhood are catalysts; women cannot get where they are going alone and must be willing to “get in the room” FAVORITE QUOTES: To be a person you are not is to waste the person you are. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Say yes, tell the world, you will figure it out. The difficult takes time, the impossible just takes a little longer. We do not do next level in comfort zone, we do next level in stretch zone.

The SELF framework for The 120 Life: S – Savor your sleep and silence E – Eat and exercise as if your life depends on it L – Love, laugh, and leave more than you take F – Focus on your future frequency and financial wellbeing KEY TAKEAWAYS: Midlife is not a decline; it’s a version upgrade. Travel, exposure to different cultures, and staying curious at every age expand what we see as possible. and keep us moving forward instead of staying stuck. Mentors are essential for growth: the right people will not only support you but lovingly push and pull you into your next chapter. Longevity starts with mindset. Community and contribution are currently the strongest predictors of a long, healthy life. Daily intake of uplifting, educational content acts as “soul nutrition” and sets the tone for the day. Our inner narrative and unresolved emotional pain can show up in our bodies The 120 Life vision includes global, multi-generational intentional living communities FAVORITE QUOTES: Midlife is not an ending; it’s the beginning of your next, more powerful chapter You’re either stagnant or moving forward. There is no going backwards, only choosing not to move If I have it in my mind, I’m going to hold it in my hand Eat and exercise as if your life depends on it, because it does LINKS & REFERENCES: The 120 Life – Kristen’s community Upcoming 120 Life longevity retreat in partnership with DreamTrips (Italy, starting in Rome, November 5) at DreamTrips: ⁠http s://dreamtrips.com Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill Wayne Dyer – foundational mindset and spiritual growth teachings Earl Nightingale’s classic recordings (including his 1954 talk on Napoleon Hill) suggested for morning “soul nutrition” Blue Zones research on longevity – Dan Buettner and team’s work on long-lived communities The Patra Project – Kristen’s nonprofit providing meals to families in need NIBLL– Kristen’s plant-forward food company serving both high-profile clients and families in food deserts MORE ABOUT KRISTEN THIBEAULT: Kristen Thibeault is the founder of The 120 Life , a movement built on a radical idea: that we can live to 120 and beyond, with vitality, purpose, and joy in every chapter. Through The 120 Life , Kristen teaches the daily habits, mindset shifts, and food-as-medicine principles that help women add not just years to their life, but life to their years. Her authority on longevity is hard-earned. A stage-three, double-cancer survivor, Kristen credits clean, plant-forward eating with saving her life and turned that second chance into a mission to help others do the same. Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and grounded in nutritional science from Stanford, she went on to found NIbll, a multi-million-dollar company feeding world-champion athletes and Hollywood A-listers, and The Patra Project , which has donated over 100,000 meals to families in food deserts.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with somatic and embodiment guide, breathwork facilitator, retreat leader, and host of Cosmic Healing, Vaughn Pierro. Together, they explore how breathwork became Vaughn's pathway to unconditional self-love, why healing happens more powerfully in community, and how women can reconnect with themselves through intentional breath, embodiment, and sisterhood. Vaughn shares her journey of spiritual awakening, motherhood, generational healing, and what it means to come home to yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Unconditional self-love changes everything. The relationship you have with yourself influences every other relationship in your life. The heart serves as a bridge between your human experience and your spiritual connection. Breathwork is a powerful tool for releasing stuck emotions, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting with the present moment. Healing becomes more powerful when experienced in community. One woman's courage often gives others permission to heal too. Sisterhood creates ripple effects that extend into families, relationships, and future generations. The exhale is where release happens. Giving yourself permission to take up space can help the body let go of what it no longer needs. Triggers can become invitations for deeper awareness and healing. Healing is often messy, but every step brings you closer to who you truly are. FAVORITE QUOTES: The heart is the bridge between your human existence and your holy existence. Your breath is holy because God breathed life into you. When one woman heals, she weaves a thread of healing through every woman around her. Healing is messy. Unbecoming who you've been so you can become who you truly are is confusing and beautiful. All judgment is self-judgment. The exhale is where you let go. The more we let go, the more we can fill up with unconditional love.

In Part 2 of this powerful two-episode series, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael continue their conversation with transformational coach and bestselling author ⁠Liz Svatek⁠. Together, they explore what it means to live without limits, regardless of age or stage of life. Liz shares why healing is meant to become a foundation rather than a destination, how women can stop arguing for their limitations, and why energy, identity, and intentional leadership matter more than ever. Through conversations around Human Design, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), masterminds, and personal reinvention, Liz offers practical tools for creating a life rooted in purpose, impact, and possibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You are not your age. You are your energy. Healing is the foundation, not the finish line. At some point, growth requires building something with what you've learned. People pleasing is often rooted in old conditioning and can keep women from stepping into leadership. The words that follow "I am" shape your identity and your future. Transformation happens through integration, not by constantly chasing the next coach, retreat, or program. Human Design can help uncover your natural strengths, decision-making style, and leadership gifts. Women carry wisdom, influence, and leadership at every age, and the world needs more of it. When women create wealth and impact, entire families and communities benefit. FAVORITE QUOTES: You are not your age. You are your energy. Every day you are one decision away from a different future. Whatever you follow "I am" with, follows you. Stop chasing healing and start integrating it. Once your foundation is healed, the fun begins. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Send the elevator back down. I am not the problem, but I can be the solution.

In Part 1 of this powerful two-episode series, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with transformational coach and bestselling author Liz Svatek to explore how women can stop shrinking, stop over-healing, and start owning the room. Liz breaks down why we must stop weaponizing gratitude, how to reframe triggers as invitations instead of setbacks, and what it really means to walk into any space as the highest energy in the room. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Gratitude can keep you stuck when it becomes a “should.” You can be grateful for your life and still tell the truth about what is not working. Two things can be true at once. You can love your marriage, your kids, and your career and also desire expansion, reinvention, and more for yourself. Healing can become addictive when you are always chasing the next modality, retreat, or high. That is when healing turns toxic. Triggers are not proof that you are broken again. They are smoke alarms that signal there is a new level available to you. Energy is a choice and a practice. You can decide to walk into a room as the highest energy, and that one decision can shift the whole environment. Perspective shifts are curative. One sentence, one reframe, or one new way of seeing a situation can move you onto a completely different path. Your environment does not control you. With awareness, intention, and tools, you can protect and elevate your energy no matter what room you are in. FAVORITE QUOTES: The highest energy entrains the room Gratitude is designed as an elevator, not a weapon of shame What if two things can be true I can be grateful and also want more Healing is a spiral. You are never going back. You are always spiraling up A trigger is not a setback, it is a smoke alarm saying there is more healing available Energy is something we get to control LINKS & REFERENCES: ⁠ Finding Your Diamonds Book Workshop starts June 14th! ⁠ Finding Your Diamonds Book is free on kindle May 29th! ⁠⁠ Finding Your Diamonds by Liz Svatek Warrior Women Inc founded by Liz Svatek June 14 Find Your Diamonds workshop with Liz Svatek MORE ABOUT LIZ SVATEK: Liz Svatek is a reinvention coach for women over 40, healer, Human Design expert, and best-selling author of Finding Your Diamonds.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Ann Schreiber, founder of Copywriting for You, six time published author, and expert copywriter helping women entrepreneurs become more visible online. Together, they explore why so many women hide behind “vanilla” messaging, how visibility often matters more than perfection, and what changes when women finally stop shrinking their voice in business and life. Ann also shares her personal story of divorce, layoffs, reinvention, second chances, and building a new chapter rooted in confidence, storytelling, and authenticity. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Stop writing “vanilla” content. Playing it safe makes your messaging sound like everyone else. The most compelling content comes from sharing what makes you different and human. Visibility matters more than perfection. Many women do not have an ability problem. They have a visibility problem. Your voice, perspective, and story matter more than polished perfection. Content is not just a task to check off. Thoughtful messaging rooted in strategy, clarity, and storytelling creates deeper connection and momentum for your business. SEO is not dead, it has evolved. Modern SEO still values strong structure, keywords, and links, but now prioritizes people first content that answers real questions naturally. Storytelling creates connection. You do not have to overshare to be relatable. Small personal stories and honest moments often build the strongest trust with your audience. Reinvention can become your greatest strength. Ann shares how divorce, layoffs, and starting over led her to a more fulfilling life, new business, and a completely different future. Journaling creates clarity. Writing down your thoughts, fears, and goals can help process emotions, build confidence, and reconnect you to your voice. Progress matters more than polish. Overthinking and over editing can strip the humanity out of your message. Sometimes imperfect action creates the deepest connection. FAVORITE QUOTES: “Vanilla content is what happens when you’re afraid to show what makes you different.” “You don’t have an ability problem. You have a visibility problem.” “I’m writing for humans first and for bots second.” “People need to get over their fear of confidence and be willing to toot their own horn.” “Polish can get in the way. It’s okay to come back later and say, I’d say this differently now.” “I don’t call it baggage. I call it history.” “Saying something imperfect will resonate more than saying nothing at all.” MORE ABOUT ANN SCHREIBER: Ann Schreiber is a romance novelist and founder of Copywriting For You, where she creates SEO-driven, people-first content for brands across industries. As an author, she writes emotionally layered love stories that explore second chances, personal growth, and starting over. She is the author of the Starting Over Trilogy—Emily’s Next Chapter, Jessica’s New Beginning, and Liz’s Forever After—along with the novella The House Always Wins.

Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Erin Barry, speaker, author, retreat director, and founder of Live Your Truth Journey and explore what it really means to live in alignment with your truth, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and create a life that actually feels like your own. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Living out of alignment eventually shows up in your body through stress, tension, exhaustion, and dissatisfaction. Defining your core values can become a turning point for making decisions from your true center instead of other people’s expectations. Personal freedom often matters more than financial freedom or time freedom when creating a fulfilling life. Small daily shifts like visualization, intentional routines, and habit stacking can lead to major transformation over time. Habit stacking makes personal growth more sustainable by attaching new habits to routines already in place. The W.I.L.D. framework stands for Wisdom, Intuition, Love, Direction, and Living Your Truth as a pathway to deeper self awareness and alignment. Intuition and fear are deeply connected, and learning to recognize your body’s signals can help you discern between resistance and true warning signs. Purpose is not something external to chase; it comes from fully living, growing, and reconnecting with what lights you up. Self care alone is not enough. Soul care requires slowing down and asking deeper questions about what truly nourishes your heart and spirit. FAVORITE QUOTES: “Everybody’s purpose is to live their best life, to be happy, and to continually grow and become.” “When I defined my values, I started making choices that aligned with my center rather than everyone else’s expectations.” “Happiness is not giddiness. Happiness is contentment, progression, and growth.” “When we die, the biggest regret is wishing we would have lived the life we wanted instead of who others expected us to be.” “My purpose is to live this life to its fullest potential, where fulfillment comes on the other side of growth.” “Start imagining and visualizing the change you want to see and you might start changing without even realizing it.” “Self care is not enough. You have to go deeper into soul care.” “Living your truth is following your own unique path and being present enough to interrupt your thoughts and ask soul questions.” LINKS & REFERENCES: ~ Atomic Habits – James Clear FRAMEWORKS & PRACTICES ~ W.I.L.D.

In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Charity Weibel, Market President at Merchants Bank (Apple Valley and Rosemount) and author of Awakening the Hero Within: Discovering Her Power . Together, they dive into how women often wait to be “chosen” or “rescued” in their careers and lives (like the fairy tales we grew up with) and how to instead become the hero of your own story. Charity shares practical tools for shifting from victimhood to radical personal responsibility, from scarcity to abundance, and from survival mode to peaceful, intentional living. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You are the hero of your own story. Stop waiting to be noticed, chosen, or rescued; hard work only pays off when you also speak up and step up Use the H.E.R.O. formula. Combine Hard Work, Education, and Responsibility for Self so you’re ready when Opportunity shows up. Choose radical responsibility. Catch yourself playing the blame game and pivot to, “What can I do about this?” Shift your mindset first . Move from fixed to growth, from scarcity to abundance, and stop letting your past dictate your future. Start tiny to change your money story. Even saving $5 a week and cutting small “filler” purchases can begin to create real financial breathing room. Interrupt negative spirals fast. Name the negative thought, replace it with “I am” affirmations, breathe deeply, and use music or movement to reset your energy. Lead with intention, not autopilot. The tools are simple; the transformation comes from using them consistently instead of picking up the same old emotional luggage every morning. FAVORITE QUOTES: “We have to realize that we are the heroes of our own story.” “Women will say, ‘The opportunity was never given to me.’ Yes, the opportunity has been given—but what action did you take to own that opportunity?” “I always question that when I start thinking about my childhood: you’re not six anymore.” “If we’re going to live in a survival mentality or scarcity mentality, we have to choose to move into an abundance mindset.” “Awareness is always the first step to growth.” “I just woke up one day and decided, I’m tired of being this way. I want to change.” “Every step you’re talking about is easy to do—it just takes intention.” “Stop waiting to be begged, chosen, or rescued. Make the decision to take action.” LINKS & REFERENCES: Books Awakening the Hero Within: Discovering Her Power – Charity Weibel Self-guided career and mindset book for women, with prompts to help you claim the hero role in your own life.

I am positive. I am intelligent.” Post them where you’ll see them daily. Breath & Music Reset – Deep breathing to interrupt negative spirals and “girl power” playlists to raise your energy.
