Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed: Why Travel Belongs In Your Life Today 30:13

Send us a text What if your passion for travel could transform from a distant dream into a tangible reality? Susan Sherfield's journey proves it's possible—even without extraordinary wealth or privilege. After spending nearly four decades in property management, Susan shares how she carved out a life where global exploration takes center stage while maintaining her professional success. Growing up in a blue-collar Chicago family, she once believed international adventures were reserved for the wealthy. That perception shattered when she took her first Mediterranean cruise at age 40, sparking a lifelong love affair with travel that would redefine her priorities. Susan doesn't just travel—she orchestrates her entire life around her values. Rather than viewing balance as equal distribution of resources, she strategically directs her time and money toward experiences that matter most. Through practical wisdom on tracking expenses, choosing shoulder seasons, and making thoughtful trade-offs, she demonstrates how anyone can make travel accessible without sacrificing financial stability. The conversation takes a profound turn when Susan reminds us that "tomorrow is not guaranteed." This sobering truth guides her decision-making about which destinations to prioritize, asking, "If this trip is our last trip, which one would we regret not taking?" Her newly launched website, OnePassionForTravel.com, aims to inspire others to stop postponing their dreams and start living intentionally today. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone who's never ventured beyond your home country, Susan's philosophy challenges us all to examine where our resources go and whether those choices align with our deepest values. Your life is your message to the world—why not make it extraordinary? Support the show…

Finding Your Center in Chaos 32:10

Send us a text Searching for calm in a world that feels like it's spinning out of control? Author Ellen Seigel offers a refreshing antidote to our collective anxiety with her five-step approach to finding peace amid chaos. Ellen joins the SheSweet Society to share the deeply personal journey that led to her book "Be Happy No Matter What." From a childhood where she felt unseen by her family to her fascinating writing process—collecting wisdom on index cards for fifteen years until they naturally arranged themselves into chapters—her story resonates with anyone who's ever felt adrift in uncertain times. What distinguishes Ellen's approach is her revolutionary definition of peace: the ability to hold opposing energies in our consciousness simultaneously. Rather than seeing the world in black and white terms, she suggests that true contentment comes from embracing duality and finding comfort in the space between extremes. This perspective feels particularly vital in our politically charged climate where divisiveness often reigns supreme. The conversation explores profound questions about permanence, purpose, and the nature of happiness. Ellen suggests we're all students and teachers for each other in life's "schoolhouse," transforming how we might view difficult relationships—as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to happiness. Her gentle wisdom reminds us that while our physical presence may be temporary, the core of who we are remains permanent. Most powerfully, Ellen emphasizes that the key to happiness resides within each of us. Her book doesn't offer external solutions but rather helps readers access their own inner wisdom. Through intentional breathing, meditation, and other practices outlined in her five steps, we can create an internal anchor that steadies us during life's inevitable storms. Discover why Ellen's message feels less like a luxury and more like a necessity in these tumultuous times. Listen now to learn practical tools that can transform anxiety into calm and uncertainty into clarity. Your journey to being happy—no matter what—begins here. Support the show…

From Social Work to Property Management: Building Communities with Compassion 30:12

for 15 dager siden30:12

30:12

Send us a text Have you ever discovered that someone you've known for years has been walking a parallel professional path without either of you realizing it? That's exactly what happened when I sat down with my longtime friend Katie Elsass for this eye-opening conversation about affordable housing, compassionate property management, and finding purpose in unexpected places. Katie reveals her journey from aspiring social worker to Quality Improvement Director at Community Housing Network, where she brings structure and compassion to the challenging world of affordable housing. Unlike conventional property management, CHN follows a housing-first philosophy, providing homes to people with disabilities and histories of homelessness without demanding sobriety or income. "We'll house you how you are," Katie explains, creating stability first so other services can follow. We dive deep into the stark contrast between Columbus's affordable housing shortage and the conventional market's struggle to fill units at higher price points. Katie's career evolution mirrors the growth challenges many non-profits face - from chaotic, unstructured environments to developing comprehensive policies that support both staff and residents. Her candid sharing about workplace stress and finding her professional sweet spot offers valuable insights for anyone trying to align their values with their career. The conversation takes honest turns as we discuss the unique dangers property managers face working where others live, sharing stories of risky situations and learning how to prioritize safety while maintaining compassion. Katie's life philosophy becomes the perfect takeaway: "Don't worry until you have to" - a reminder to save our energy for challenges that actually materialize rather than burning out on anticipatory anxiety. Whether you work in housing, social services, or are simply curious about how compassion can transform systems, this conversation illuminates how unexpected professional allies might be hiding in your own social circle. Listen now and discover how two friends found connection through their parallel missions of creating homes and hope. Support the show…

Getting Real with La! Part 2 25:37

Send us a text Join us as we explore the transformative journey of La Baker, the visionary founder of LBB Edutainment. La's story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the unwavering support of family and friends. Her rich narrative uncovers how she balances the pressures of her career while staying grounded through a growth mindset and the wisdom gleaned from every walk of life. A chance meeting with an unhoused man in Columbus becomes a poignant reminder of privilege and the power to instigate change, setting the stage for a conversation that challenges societal norms and celebrates humility. We enter a realm where celebrity culture is put under the microscope, and the illusions of wealth and status are questioned with fervor. Personal experiences, like participating in Meals on Wheels, highlight the essential need to address societal inequities. We examine how younger generations, like Gen Z and the alpha generation, are spearheading social justice movements and demanding a seismic shift in our socio-economic fabric. The discussion beckons us to consider the role each of us plays in this unfolding narrative, pushing back against outdated norms with courage and integrity. The power of individuality takes center stage, as La shares her experience of standing out in a world that often prizes conformity. The notion of being a "square peg in a round hole" resonates with those who dare to be different, especially in challenging societal structures. We close with a rallying call to embrace authenticity and set personal boundaries, asserting that everyone deserves their seat at the table. In celebrating our unique identities, we find the strength to be heard and the valor to remain true to ourselves amidst the clamor of external opinions. Support the show…
