You don't have to follow someone elseâs definition of success to create a life that lights you up. Sitting down with Dr. Michelle Montero reminded me of the power in honoring your personal valuesâespecially when the world expects you to hustle nonstop. Michelleâs journey from academia to entrepreneurship shows what happens when you stop living in survival mode and start trusting yourself deeply. We talked about mindset shifts, the weight of invisible expectations, and how choosing joy can be one of the most radical things you do. If youâve ever felt stuck in a life that looks ârightâ but doesnât feel rightâthis oneâs for you.

Caregiving isnât a raceâitâs about staying present through every challenge. Talking with Jessica Soodeen, I saw how situational awareness, preparation, and resilience shaped her journey caring for her mother. She shares how staying organized eased the chaos, but also opens up about the emotional tollâPTSD, identity loss, and finding purpose after caregiving ends. Her message is clear: take control where you can, be kind to yourself when you canât, and never underestimate the power of showing up for the people you love.
About Our Guest:
Jessica Soodeen is no stranger to challenges and faces them head-on! Throughout her personal life and career, she has pushed boundaries and broken barriers. Whether on stage speaking to hundreds, at a racetrack, or an office setting, Jessica has a unique ability to make everyone she encounters feel seen and heard. Her energy, filled with curiosity and wonder, is contagious. Her first career as a mechanical design engineer took her around the world, and her adventurous spirit led her to a new challenge: earning a Masterâs degree in Motorsport Race Engineering. This pivot, born from her passion for road racing motorcycles, a hobby she picked up later in life, opened new avenues for her. Jessica has worked as a track-side engineer and driver coach, fully immersing herself in the world of motorsports. She even built her own motors in her living room, pulled wrenches for other teams, and immediately began coaching others on mindset. Now, Jessica uses all these experiences to deliver dynamic keynote speeches that teach emotional and social intelligence lessons uniquely using motorsports analogies. She also facilitates Relational Skills workshops that bring teams together, focusing on problem solving, conflict resolution through civil communication skills, and decision making processes. You can find Jessica Soodeen on LinkedIn for your next AGM, Professional Association Conference, STEM day, or Retreat!

Some moments in life test everything you think you know about your own strength. Roselyn OâBrien Markowitz opens up about navigating the impossibleâcaring for her husband through an aggressive lymphoma diagnosis while managing her own serious health crises. We, as caregivers, juggle hospital stays, chemotherapy, heart complications, and the emotional weight of it all, but giving up never enters the equation. I see firsthand how caregiving isnât just about one person helping anotherâitâs a constant exchange, a balancing act of love, resilience, and sheer willpower. No matter how overwhelming things get, we keep pushing forward, proving that even in the hardest times, we can adapt, learn, and keep showing up for each other.

Are we just supposed to sit back while the safety nets for caregivers and vulnerable people disappear? I wonât, and I hope you wonât either. Meals on Wheels, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are on the chopping block, and a vague tax credit for family caregivers wonât cut it. How will caregivers survive if these lifelines shrink or vanish? I dig into the real consequences, the financial traps, and the blatant attempts to hide critical information from us. This isnât just politics, itâs survival. If youâre a caregiver or know someone who depends on these programs, itâs time to make some noise. Letâs not just squawk, letâs be heard.

We're bringing back one of our favorite episodes from the archives! Enjoy the episode!
Caregiving is more than a missionâitâs a monumental task that you donât have to shoulder alone!
Today, I explore the transformative power of stepping back to manage rather than tackling everything single-handedly. Itâs a vital lesson I learned: doing more isnât the solution; managing more effectively is. A caregiving coach once opened my eyes to my 'Care-zilla' modeâwhere anger and frustration from trying to control everything were running me ragged. Now, I champion delegation and collaboration, essential strategies that turn caregiving from a lone battle into a team effort. Letâs ditch the pride and start creating a support system that lets us all breathe, balance, and thrive with our loved ones.

Life throws curveballs, but Wendy Weber reminds me that we donât have to face them alone. She shares how leaning into community and asking for help transforms not only our struggles but our growth. Wendy inspires me to see caregiving as an act of love, not just duty and challenges me to let go of the guilt and embrace the strength that comes from being vulnerable. Selfcare isnât selfishâitâs essential. If you ever feel overwhelmed, remember youâre stronger than you think and more supported than you realize.

When it comes to resolutions, Iâm all about keeping it real and keeping it doable. Forget those vague promises that fizzle out by mid-Januaryâwhat works is setting goals that truly resonate with you and are backed by a solid plan. Iâm challenging myself to adopt what I call "sharegiving," where every day I find a way to lighten someone elseâs load with an intentional act of kindness. Whether itâs holding the door for someone or stepping up to help a caregiver in need, small acts add up. Letâs flip the script on resolutions this year and focus on making every goal personal, actionable, and tied to the kind of person we really want to be.

You deserve to feel whole while taking care of others. Picture a pie with four slices: financial, emotional, mental, and physical well-being. You need to keep each slice balanced and replenished because caregiving can take a toll on every piece. Financially, set realistic goals and create a budget to avoid future stress. Emotionally, give yourself space to process your feelingsâignoring them only floods your mind later. Mentally, stay creative and organized, even when drained, and physically, don't skip the exercise and habits that keep your energy steady. And hereâs the secret ingredient: stories. Share them, hear them, and connect. Together, we can refill each otherâs plates and savor the balance of a fulfilling life.

Imagine stepping into a caregiving role with the same clarity and grace you'd bring to your most cherished relationships. Mike Spillman, an international motivational speaker, shares that family caregivingâespecially around the holidaysâoften feels overwhelming, with emotions running high and patience running thin. But Mike believes it doesnât have to drain you. With his "DIRRT method," which is applicable to any relationship, you can transform the experience for yourself and the loved one youâre caring for. It starts with a clear decision on what you want to accomplish, then identify the roadblocks in your way. Remove those obstacles, and replace them with support that moves you forward. Transformation isnât instant, but as Mike explains, youâll feel it as you learn to care with love and self-respect, creating a lasting positive impact for you and those you hold dear. Mikeâs mission is to save 100 marriages before the end of 2025. Itâs easy to see how caregiving and rational problem-solving make a good pair.
About Our Guest:
Mike Spillman has been involved in the Personal Development arena for 40+ years helping others grasp the significance of a POSITIVE mindset in all areas of life.
He is an International Speaker and podcaster having published over 1,100 podcasts as well as blog articles. He has developed a 5-Step program called "The D.I.R.R.T. Method" that can lead others to success in ANY area of their life upon implementation.
Mike's personal goal is this: "To bring HAPPINESS, STABILITY and PURPOSE into the lives of others."
