  Episode 37: Interview with Cynthia Bennett

  Aug 11, 202633 min

  Dr. Cynthia Bennett, founder of the nonprofit JADASA, shares her powerful journey from surviving domestic abuse to becoming a leader, advocate, educator, and champion for women and children. Drawing from her own lived experience, she explains why she dedicated her work to ensuring others have the resources, knowledge, and support they need to leave abusive situations and rebuild their lives. Cynthia also challenges common misconceptions about abuse, emphasizing that it does not discriminate and that leaving is often complicated by fear, finances, children, emotional ties, and a lack of resources. The conversation goes beyond advocacy to explore healing, resilience, and compassionate leadership. Cynthia shares why listening without judgment, giving people their power back, and helping them recognize their own dreams are essential to meaningful support. She also discusses healing from trauma, practicing self-care, learning to receive recognition, and using our lived experiences to give others hope. Her message is ultimately one of empowerment: the past does not have to define the future, and every woman deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and believe in herself again.

  Episode 36: Interview with Kelli Risse

  Aug 4, 202630 min

  Kelli Risse shares how redefining success starts with leading yourself first. Drawing from her journey from elementary educator to executive coach, she explains why so many high-performing leaders struggle—not from a lack of ambition, but because stress, competing priorities, and burnout quietly erode their ability to think clearly, communicate effectively, and lead with intention. Through practical insights on emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and sustainable performance, Kelli challenges the belief that success requires constant hustle and instead shows how leaders can achieve more by creating clarity, focus, and balance. The conversation explores the warning signs of burnout, the connection between workplace culture and performance, and why giving yourself grace is a leadership skill—not a weakness. Kelli also shares actionable strategies for managing overwhelm, setting healthier boundaries, and building organizations where people can thrive without sacrificing their well-being. Whether you're leading a team, growing a business, or simply trying to sustain your own success, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on achieving high performance with greater ease.
