Episode 12 - Jen Gilhoi, Having the Flight of Her Life!
Today’s guest is my friend, Jen Gilhoi, founder of Sparktrack, a marketing consulting firm, and co-founder of ZeroProof Collective, where business leaders and the non-alcoholic beverage industry come together to connect, collaborate, and share resources to advance zero-proof options for the sober community.
We discussed the role sobriety has played in her life, how her entrepreneurial journey started, the transformative experience she had in Mexico and how it inspired her 50th birthday celebration, and how by following her intuition, she’s heading in a direction she’d never dreamed of.
I hope this conversation inspires you to also follow what feels in alignment with you and to trust your intuition. You just might be amazed at all the places you’ll go!

Episode 11 - Books That Will Change Your Life (A Series), Part 3: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza
Today, I’m discussing this powerful book and why it can be life-changing for readers. I share some of the most impactful parts for me as well as some examples from my own life.
Reading this was a little bit biology, a little bit psychology, and by the end, felt like a whole lot of therapy. I understood a lot more about my past behaviors and gave me a lot of clarity about why I was stuck in certain aspects of my life.
I honestly think this should be required reading for young adults because I wish I would have read this at that age.
