Successfully Stuck: When Success No Longer Feels Like You with Lisa McGuire 03/24/2026

Straight Talk: When the Role That Made You Successful Stops Feeling True with Lisa McGuire 03/17/2026

Straight Talk: When the Role That Made You Successful Stops Feeling True with Lisa McGuire What happens when the role that once defined your success… stops feeling like you? There’s a quiet moment many high-achieving professionals eventually encounter. From the outside, everything still looks successful...the career, the reputation, the leadership role. But internally, something has shifted. The identity that once felt natural begins to feel like something you’re performing. In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand, Lisa McGuire explores the moment when success and truth begin to diverge. It’s the moment when the role that once brought recognition and stability no longer feels aligned with the person you’re becoming. Through a powerful story about truth, identity, and the roles we play, Lisa introduces a framework for understanding this shift and explains how recognizing your unique authority can open the door to a completely new chapter of leadership and impact. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask a deeper question: Who are you when the role disappears? If you’ve ever felt the tension between the role you’ve mastered and the truth of who you are becoming, this conversation will help you see that moment differently - not as a crisis, but as the beginning of something far more authentic. Key Takeaways Professional roles that once brought success can eventually stop reflecting who you truly are. Many people unknowingly perform identities that were shaped by expectations rather than truth. The moment when a role stops fitting is often the beginning of deeper self-recognition. Authentic authority comes from the experiences and perspective you’ve built over a lifetime. Identity transformation typically unfolds in three stages: the mask, the truth moment, and your Category of ONLY™. Letting go of performance creates space for a more aligned next chapter. Honest self-reflection is often the first step toward rediscovering your real identity. True leadership begins when you stop trying to fit into existing categories and define your own.

Leadership Burnout: Why High-Achieving Women Are Carrying Too Much with Debra Mitchell 03/10/2026

From the Corporate Zoo to the Entrepreneurial Wild: Breaking Free with Chris Lalomia 03/03/2026

From the Corporate Zoo to the Entrepreneurial Wild: Breaking Free with Chris Lalomia There’s a moment in every high achiever’s life when the outside success no longer matches the inside truth. You have the title. The team. The salary. The symbols. And yet… something feels off. In this powerful episode of Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, Lisa McGuire sits down with Chris Lalomia, founder of The Trusted Toolbox and host of Small Business Safari, to unpack what it really looks like to walk away from corporate security and step into the unpredictable, often messy, but deeply fulfilling world of entrepreneurship. Chris didn’t just leave a job. He left an identity. From Senior Vice President with custom suits and a Mercedes… to hauling trash in white vans and earning credibility one home at a time. This is not a highlight reel conversation. This is about ego checks, near-missed payrolls, launching a company before the Great Recession, building systems in an unregulated industry, and discovering that the “wild” may be dangerous—but it’s also where purpose wakes up. If you’ve ever felt “successfully stuck,” this episode is your mirror. Key Takeaways “Successfully stuck” is real — outward success can mask internal misalignment. Leaving corporate isn’t just a career shift. It’s an identity shift. Passion isn’t enough, but it’s essential when everything gets hard. Financial resilience determines survival more than optimism does. Systems save you when emotion fails you. Entrepreneurship is freedom, but it’s also full responsibility. Professionalizing a fragmented industry requires leadership and vision CONNECT WITH CHRIS LINKEDIN: WEBSITE: COMPANY WEBSITE: CONNECT WITH LISA LINKEDIN: WEBSITE: Beyond the Transaction Mastermind - Apply to join the group: Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment Register: Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: Ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: /episode/index/show/lisamcguire/id/39946080

Kindness Is the New Power: Rethinking Leadership in a World Tired of Burnout with Graham Allcott 02/24/2026

Stop Performing: Why Personal Branding Is Over and Identity-Led Marketing Is the Future with Lisa McGuire 02/17/2026

Stop Performing: Why Personal Branding Is Over and Identity-Led Marketing Is the Future with Lisa McGuire In a world obsessed with visibility, there’s a quiet exhaustion rising beneath the surface. Everyone is talking about personal branding. Stand out. Be visible. Polish your message. Optimize your strategy. But what if the reason your marketing feels heavy isn’t because you lack a better brand… What if it’s because you’ve outgrown the identity you’ve been performing? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose & Personal Brand, we name what most high achievers feel but rarely say out loud: personal branding has quietly become performance. And performance is exhausting. This isn’t about abandoning marketing. It’s about rebuilding it from the only place that actually sustains trust. That's identity. If something inside you knows you’ve been performing confidence… curating authority… shaping yourself to stay promotable… this conversation will feel like relief. We’re going upstream - beyond websites, logos, funnels, and visibility and into the deeper truth: Your identity is the strategy. Your presence is the brand. Your realness is the marketing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal branding has become a socially acceptable mask for many high performers. When identity is unclear, branding turns into performance. When identity is clear, your brand becomes an amplifier. Identity-led marketing creates resonance instead of volume. When identity leads, aligned clients become magnetic — not forced. Competitors become irrelevant when you operate from a truth that cannot be replicated.

Successfully Stuck: Why High Achievers Feel Empty at the Peak of Success with Jim Huling and Lisa McGuire 02/10/2026

Successfully Stuck: Why High Achievers Feel Empty at the Peak of Success with Jim Huling and Lisa McGuire The Conversation Leaders Are Afraid to Have This is not a podcast interview. It’s a raw, unfiltered conversation between two people who sit inside the private inner worlds of high-performing leaders and keep seeing the same quiet truth emerge. Two different lanes (corporate leadership and entrepreneurship) but the same reckoning to be felt. Success that looks right on the outside while something inside is asking for honesty no one wants to name. In this episode, Lisa McGuire and Jim Huling step out of expert mode and into real dialogue. No rehearsed answers. No motivational gloss. Just a direct conversation about what happens when achievement stops delivering meaning, and why the most capable people often feel the most trapped. They talk openly about the experience of being successfully stuck: Not burned out. Not failing. Just misaligned...and working harder to avoid admitting it. You’ll hear why high performers keep this restlessness private, how over-functioning becomes a socially rewarded coping mechanism, and why clarity rarely comes before movement. They compare what this looks like inside corporate leadership versus entrepreneurship, and why the external differences don’t change the internal cost. This conversation challenges the hustle narrative, confronts the pressure to “be grateful,” and questions the idea that something must be broken for change to be necessary. Most importantly, it offers a reframing many leaders have never been given: sometimes the discomfort isn’t a problem to solve. It’s an identity that has outgrown its current structure. If you’ve been feeling successful but unsettled… If you’ve been carrying more than anyone realizes… If you’ve told yourself “I should be happy” and felt the quiet resistance underneath… There is nothing wrong with you. You may simply be standing at the edge of your next chapter, before the meaning has caught up with the shift. Listen with honesty. Let it land. And notice what starts telling the truth inside you.

Choosing Yourself Before You Have the Map with Jordan Schram 02/03/2026

Choosing Yourself Before You Have the Map with Jordan Schram What happens when you build the “perfect life” only to realize it doesn’t belong to you? In this vulnerable and powerfully honest episode, former Walmart brand strategist- turned-entrepreneur, Jordan Schram, shares the story behind three life-changing words: “I'm choosing me.” Jordan didn’t make a dramatic leap. She made a quiet decision to stop living a life built on external validation and start listening to the quiet truths inside her. As the founder of Purple Sky Strategy and creator of The Brand Edge program, she now helps women entrepreneurs align their identity and strategy and create brands rooted in authenticity, not in chasing algorithms. This episode isn’t about hustle or hype. It’s about what becomes possible when you allow success to look different, and finally give yourself permission to stop proving and start living. Whether you’re successfully stuck, questioning your current path, or ready to build something that fits you, this conversation will name the truth you’ve been circling. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can feel successful and still be misaligned. That doesn’t make you ungrateful. It makes you human. Strategic clarity and identity clarity must work together for your business to thrive. Human Design isn’t fluff. It’s a tool for self-understanding and aligned decisions. You are allowed to choose yourself before you have a 5-year plan. Entrepreneurship is personal development in disguise. Authenticity is a competitive edge, especially in the age of AI. The “Random Tuesday Rule” is a powerful framework for reclaiming everyday joy. You are not behind. You are at the threshold of your next chapter.

The System Isn’t Failing: It’s Breaking Open (And You’re Right on Time) with Lisa McGuire 01/27/2026

The System Isn’t Failing: It’s Breaking Open (And You’re Right on Time) with Lisa McGuire There’s a deeper shift happening under the chaos. It's one that most people can feel in their bones but don’t yet have words for. If you’ve been feeling disoriented, “successfully stuck,” or strangely calm in the middle of all the noise, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, we name what many are sensing: the systems around us aren’t just failing. They’re breaking open. And that’s not a problem… it’s a purpose. Lisa McGuire guides you through the unseen transformation beneath today’s uncertainty - a breakdown that’s clearing the path for a new way of leading, living, and building. You’ll learn why your discomfort may be proof that you're evolving, what’s replacing the old leadership models, and how to anchor your identity in a world that’s constantly shifting. This isn’t about trends, tactics, or tools — it’s about who you’re becoming and why you’re right on time to help shape what comes next. Key Takeaways The system isn’t failing. It’s breaking open...and that’s a necessary evolution. Old structures based on performance, separation, and productivity were never designed for the kind of humans we are becoming. High achievers who feel “stuck” are not failing. They’re evolving out of outdated definitions of success. This isn’t a tech revolution. It’s a consciousness shift toward presence, coherence, and identity-first leadership. You are not late to the game. You were born for this moment in history. Leaders who thrive in the next decade won’t master more tools. They’ll master themselves. What feels like collapse is actually initiation. The future will belong to those who lead with presence, not performance. Real relationships, not reach, are the currency of the new era. Energy isn’t a soft skill. It’s the strategy.

The Exhaustion You Can’t Name (But Feel Every Day) with Lisa McGuire 01/20/2026

The Exhaustion You Can’t Name (But Feel Every Day) with Lisa McGuire Have you ever felt exhausted, not because of overwork, but because of over-managing how you're perceived? This solo episode is not just a reflection. It's a reckoning. In one of the most real straight-talking episodes of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand, Lisa explores the unseen exhaustion that comes from performing who we think we need to be. Whether it’s showing up in business, family roles, or social settings, the constant need to curate ourselves for others can leave us quietly depleted. Lisa shares raw, personal stories, from the lessons she learned as the eldest daughter to navigating the aftermath of loss. She names a pattern we’ve all felt but haven’t always trusted: performance as survival. And what’s waiting on the other side is not a new self to become... It’s the one we’ve been protecting all along. No hype. No fix-it formulas. This is a refreshingly honest invitation to come home to yourself. Because transformation doesn’t always roar. Key Takeaways Performing isn’t fake. It’s a learned adaptation that once kept us safe. We’re taught to manage how we’re seen, especially in professional and familial roles. Women and men carry different, but equally heavy, emotional labor. Embodiment is less about doing and more about being, quietly and honestly. The self you protect is not your core. It’s a strategy. Letting go of performance opens the door to clarity, peace, and self-trust. Real safety isn’t being “fixed." It’s being seen. Sometimes, it whispers, “You’re already here.” CONNECT WITH LISA LINKEDIN: WEBSITE: Beyond the Transaction Mastermind - Apply to join the group: Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment Register: Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: Ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: /episode/index/show/lisamcguire/id/39684560

Take Off the Mask: Building a Life You Don't Have to Hide From with Jake Brown 01/13/2026

Take Off the Mask: Building a Life You Don't Have to Hide From with Jake Brown What if the version of you the world applauds… is the one that’s quietly breaking you? This episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand is sure to stick with you. Lisa McGuire invites business coach and former agency leader Jake Brown, into a conversation that names something many of us have lived for far too long: The exhaustion of pretending. The fear of being “found out.” The cost of crafting a life that looks good, but doesn’t feel like you. Jake spent 20+ years building agencies, collecting accolades, and performing success; all while hiding his ADHD, working nights and weekends, and wearing a mask that kept the world clapping... but kept him unseen. After a traumatic brain injury forced a full reset, Jake began asking two game-changing thoughts: “Says who?” “I don’t want to.” That was the start of everything changing. Now, Jake helps late-diagnosed ADHD founders and creatives build businesses that don’t require them to betray themselves. Through his ADHD Tides Framework and Brain Friction Scorecard, he shows people how to work with their wiring — not against it — and finally live without the mask. If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or had to perform to belong… this episode is your invitation to come home to yourself. This Conversation Will Help You: Understand why masking your true self feels so exhausting, and how it shows up in life, leadership, and work Learn how ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence affect focus, energy, and shame Discover why so many high achievers secretly feel stuck or broken (even while they’re “crushing it”) Use the ADHD Tides Framework to map your natural rhythms and stop pushing through low-tide days Reduce “brain friction” by identifying the hidden ways your executive function is burning out Reclaim your energy by learning the difference between constant and consistent Replace shame with strategy — and isolation with compassion CONNECT WITH JAKE LINKEDIN : WEBSITE: Brain Friction Scorecard: CONNECT WITH LISA LINKEDIN: WEBSITE: Beyond the Transaction Mastermind - Apply to join the group: Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment Register: Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: Ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: /episode/index/show/lisamcguire/id/39426155

From Stuck to Seen: How to Finally Share Your Voice Without the Overwhelm with Cheryl Tan 01/06/2026

From Stuck to Seen: How to Finally Share Your Voice Without the Overwhelm with Cheryl Tan Have you ever felt that quiet tug? It feels like an unshakable nudge that you’re meant to use your voice in a more visible way… but you keep circling the same hesitation loop? In this conversation, host Lisa McGuire sits down with Cheryl Tan, former news anchor turned media coach and show launch strategist, to unravel the REAL reasons we hold back from stepping into the spotlight. This episode isn’t about hyping up podcasting or video content. It’s about naming the fears, the friction, and the unspoken stories that keep so many gifted leaders successfully stuck. Whether you're dreaming of a podcast, exploring LinkedIn video, or just trying to feel more present and confident on camera, this episode is your permission slip to begin before you're ready...and your roadmap for doing it with purpose, presence, and peace. Because showing up isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real. Key Takeaways The biggest block isn’t tech. It’s your message clarity. Visibility reluctance is normal, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. You don't need fancy equipment. Your phone and a window will do. Presence always trumps performance. You are not the hero of your show. Your audience is. Storytelling is still the most powerful tool for human connection, even in an AI-driven world. Consistency and small reps build confidence, not over-preparation. You’ll never “feel” fully ready. Start anyway. Authenticity is your strategy. Podcasts and videos aren’t marketing tools. They’re mirrors for your message.

This One Question Will Reorient Your Entire Life with Lisa McGuire 12/30/2025

From Funnels to Freedom: Why Personalized Diagnostics Are the Future of Business Growth withMaeve Ferguson 12/23/2025

From Funnels to Freedom: Why Personalized Diagnostics Are the Future of Business Growth withMaeve Ferguson When growth stalls, it's time to get personal. Ever felt like you’ve done all the “right” things in your business, but your results don’t add up? You're not alone. In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire sits down with business strategist Maeve Ferguson to challenge everything we’ve been told about marketing funnels, freebies, and formulas. They explore the quiet revolution happening behind the scenes that few people know about yet. It's one driven by data, dignity, and diagnostics. This is not another pep talk. This is a call to alignment. You’ll learn why personalization is the new currency in business, how traditional funnels are quietly failing, and what it really takes to attract high-level clients without selling your soul (or your calendar) to outdated discovery calls. Maeve reveals how entrepreneurs are collapsing months of guesswork into clarity by transforming their intellectual property into score-based diagnostics that do more than convert. They connect. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I know I’m meant for more...but I don’t know where I lost the map," this conversation is your compass. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional funnels are outdated. Today's audiences crave personalization. Diagnostic assessments segment leads for higher precision and conversions. Mass emails and checklist freebies often repel rather than attract. Your audience’s sophistication has evolved. It’s time your strategy does too. Diagnostics let you identify who's truly ready and willing to buy. Rich niche positioning attracts elevated clients and filters out misaligned ones. Mapping your IP (yes, you have it) gives clarity, confidence, and authority. AI and mediocrity are flooding the market. Your differentiation is being real. When you stop chasing and start aligning, sales become symphonic. Success is not about “doing more.” It’s about becoming more of who you are.

The Book That Writes You: Mike Kim on Identity, Chaos, and the Mandate to Create 12/16/2025

The Book That Writes You: Mike Kim on Identity, Chaos, and the Mandate to Create What if writing a book wasn't just about telling your story, but about becoming who you're meant to be? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand podcast, host Lisa McGuire is joined by bestselling author and brand strategist Mike Kim, to uncover the raw, creative, and often chaotic truth behind writing a transformational book. Mike doesn’t just teach branding. He lives and embodies it. And in this conversation, he opens up about the mandate to write, the emotional rollercoaster of authorship, and how your book may end up shaping you more than you shape it. If you've ever felt a whisper saying “you have something to say,” this episode is your invitation to start. You’ll walk away not only with practical steps to begin, but a new way to see yourself as someone already becoming the next version of who you were meant to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS Writing a book can change the author more than the audience. There’s a big difference between wanting to write, feeling called, and being mandated. Your manuscript is not a project—it’s a relationship. Most people quit in the “messy middle,” but that’s where the transformation begins. There is no perfect writing process—only your process. AI can’t replace your energy, stories, or lived experience. Writing connects you to a deeper identity—one you’ve been evolving toward. Creating space from social media can reignite creative fire. The “book that writes you” reveals truths you didn’t know you were carrying.

In today’s episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, I’m joined by Adam Pounds, a content strategist and relationship architect who’s been on both sides of that experience.

The Power of Alignment: When Ambition Meets Authenticity with Alex Kuhn 12/02/2025

The Power of Alignment: When Ambition Meets Authenticity with Alex Kuhn Are you feeling the weight of success that looks good on paper but feels off in your gut? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire sits down with leadership mentor and founder of Born to Lead, Alex Kuhn, for a soul-stirring conversation about the invisible tension between authenticity and ambition, and how it can make or break your leadership. Alex reveals the real reason so many high-achieving leaders feel stuck, even when the world sees them as successful. This is not your average leadership chat. Together, Lisa and Alex unravel the myth of “performative success,” explore the inner work behind sustainable growth, and challenge you to redefine what it truly means to lead from your truth. This episode is for the visionary leaders, purpose-driven entrepreneurs, and executives who are ready to stop chasing strategy and start living in alignment with their personal brand voice. You’ll walk away with the confidence to say no to what no longer fits, tools to recognize misalignment before burnout sets in, and the courage to finally go all-in on yourself. Key Takeaways: Authenticity ≠ Oversharing – True authenticity begins with clear boundaries, not vulnerability for vulnerability’s sake. Growth Is an Internal Shift – Leadership evolution isn’t just metrics; it’s personal transformation. Sustainable Strategy Requires Alignment – If your strategy doesn’t match your energy and purpose, it won’t last. Confidence Isn't the Problem—Commitment Is – Action slows when alignment fades, not because you lack belief, but clarity. Legacy Over Ego – High achievers thrive when they lead for meaning, not metrics. Visibility Should Match Personality – You don’t have to be loud to lead. Speak daily in the way that fits YOU. Leadership Is Personal – Professional success is an extension of personal alignment. Energy Management Matters – Consistent speaking or visibility must be supported with intentional warmups and habits. “Busy” Is a Red Flag – When you say “I’m too busy,” it’s actually a sign you need to pause and realign. You Don’t Need Another Funnel—You Need Resonance.

The Episode That Saw the Future Before We Lived It with Lisa McGuire 11/25/2025

The Episode That Saw the Future Before We Lived It with Lisa McGuire Why Everything Is Falling Apart (and How to Find Yourself in the Middle of It) Two years ago, I released an episode that felt bold… maybe even a little ahead of its time. Today, it feels prophetic. Back then, I named what was rising beneath the surface... a global unraveling, a collective identity crisis, and the beginning of a mass reinvention. Today, those ripples have become waves we can no longer ignore. This rewind episode takes you back to the moment when the “polycrisis” first entered our vocabulary and the world subtly began shifting us toward a single, urgent question: Who am I—really—and why am I here? Listening now, you’ll hear it with new ears. You’ll hear a map forming long before we knew what we were navigating. You’ll hear breadcrumbs that have now become a blueprint. In this episode, we explore: Why society feels like it’s breaking down—and why that’s necessary How our systems trained us to perform, conform, and disconnect from ourselves The rise of an “identity evolution” that people across industries are now feeling Why reinvention isn’t a trend—it’s a survival skill What it actually means to return to the truth of who you are How to recognize the signs that you’re “successfully stuck” The shift is happening inside individuals who are ready to reclaim their voice, purpose, and direction Why this rewind matters now Season 5 is the era of activation, moving from awareness to aligned action. And this episode? It’s the beginning of the crack in the old identity… the moment the light first got in. If you’ve been sensing the shift, feeling the pressure, or questioning what comes next in your life or career, this episode will help you understand why. It’s not just you. The world is reorganizing. And this is how you rise with it.

When Doing Everything “Right” Still Feels Wrong with Lisa McGuire 11/18/2025

When Doing Everything “Right” Still Feels Wrong with Lisa McGuire Welcome to the Season 5 premiere of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand! This episode takes a bold twist when Lisa McGuire moves from host to guest, inviting renowned journalist Cheryl Tan to take the reins and guide a deep, soul-baring conversation that exposes the hidden truths behind “success.” For years, Lisa has helped others find their voice. Now, she shares the personal story of how she rediscovered her own. From growing up in a culture of silence to leading a purpose-driven business, Lisa reveals how she escaped the trap of being “successfully stuck”...a condition many high achievers find themselves in when traditional success leaves them unfulfilled. This episode pulls back the curtain on Lisa’s new book in progress, Successfully Stuck, and explores what it means to live, lead, and work with unapologetic authenticity. It’s a powerful call to drop the mask, reconnect with your true design, and finally answer the question: What if success isn’t what we thought it was? Key Takeaways Being “successfully stuck” is real—many high achievers feel unfulfilled after reaching societal benchmarks of success. Success is not a destination; it’s an alignment with who you truly are. Creativity and authenticity are stifled early in life by systems designed to promote conformity.

Serial Fixer: Break Free from the Habit of Solving Other People’s Problems with Leah Marone Are you constantly the go-to person for everyone else’s problems? Do you feel drained from fixing things that aren’t yours to solve? Lisa McGuire welcomes back psychotherapist, corporate wellness consultant, and author Leah Marone to the mic to talk about a phenomenon many high achievers are silently suffering from. Serial Fixing. Leah unpacks the emotional toll of always trying to “make it better” for others, explores the internal conflicts that drive this need to over-help, and introduces her ground-breaking framework: Support Don’t Solve. Her new book, Serial Fixer, is more than a guide. It’s a permission slip for anyone tired of tying their worth to how useful they are to others. You’ll learn to identify which type of serial fixer you are (Saint, Doormat, or Steamroller), how emotional hangovers silently sabotage your energy, and why the most empowering leaders don’t solve, they support. If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, felt resentful for helping, or burned out trying to “prove” yourself… this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. KEY TAKEAWAYS The 3 types of serial fixers — and how to know which one you are How serial fixing sabotages leadership, relationships, and self-trust Why high achievers often seek validation through fixing The 5-step Support Don’t Solve framework to rewire your fixer instinct The difference between support and control (and why it’s crucial) How to reframe parenting, leadership, and friendship without overfunctioning The hidden cost of always being “the one who fixes things” How to build internal validation instead of outsourcing your worth CONNECT WITH LEAH Serial Fixer Book: Leah's Substack: LinkedIn Profile: Instagram Profile: Website: CONNECT WITH LISA Register for the Beyond the Transaction Mastermind - Apply to join the group: Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment Register: Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: Ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: LET'S GET SOCIAL Instagram: Facebook: LinkedIn: YouTube: /episode/index/show/lisamcguire/id/38408825

The Courage of Voice: From Performance to Presence with DeRetta Rhodes 10/28/2025

The Courage of Voice: From Performance to Presence with DeRetta Rhodes What does it really mean to use your voice, not just to speak, but to shift culture, challenge norms, and advocate for others? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire sits down with Dr. DeRetta Rhodes, Executive Vice President and Chief Culture Officer of the Atlanta Braves, to explore how courageous leadership starts with presence, not performance. Dr. Rhodes shares the deeply personal and professional moments that shaped her journey, from staying silent in rooms that overlooked her to becoming the voice that now ensures others are seen, heard, and valued. They also dive into the challenges women face with visibility, the power of sponsorship, the tension between perfectionism and grace, and how leaders can create environments of safety and belonging. If you’ve ever felt like your voice didn’t matter or questioned how to lead in a way that uplifts others while staying true to yourself; this episode is for you. Tune in for a candid conversation about leadership, culture, and the transformative power of using your voice, not just for yourself, but for those who aren’t in the room yet. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your voice and words are powerful — use it strategically and with intention. Culture is created by how people feel — not just the metrics. Shifting from performance to presence fosters belonging and authenticity. Timing is critical. Protecting your energy and choosing when to speak is part of courageous leadership. Creating safe spaces allows others to thrive and feel seen. Storytelling and shared experience break down barriers and inspire others. Self-awareness and reflection help you grow into your voice.

Realign Your Life, Fall in Love with It Again: A Conversation with Elaine Acker 10/14/2025

Realign Your Life, Fall in Love with It Again: A Conversation with Elaine Acker What if the real reason you feel stuck isn’t because you're doing the wrong things—but because you're doing them out of alignment? In this honest, soul-stirring conversation between two friends, , you'll hear a host Lisa McGuire sits down with Elaine Acker, an accomplished journalist, publisher, and entrepreneur turned college English professor. On paper, Elaine had it all. But under the surface, something was missing. When Lisa first invited Elaine to join her Freedom Reset program, Elaine hesitated. Like many of us, she felt like working on herself was a luxury she hadn’t earned. Too much to do. Too many people were depending on her. Not the right time. But in the space between “I’m too busy” and “What if I love it?", Elaine found her answer. Within just six weeks of saying “yes,” she discovered a forgotten passion for teaching, applied for a position that aligned with her gifts, and accepted a job offer that would reshape her life. And the best part is she didn’t burn it all down. She simply realigned. People around her noticed the difference and commented about how happy she appeared to be. This episode is a gentle nudge for those who are secretly craving change but don’t know where to begin. You don’t need a full-blown reinvention. You just need to stop betraying the part of you that knows something is missing. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: On Getting Started: Why working on yourself isn’t selfish—it’s the most strategic thing you can do. The hesitation Elaine felt, and the unexpected moment that changed her mind. On the Realignment Process: The difference between reinvention and realignment—and why that distinction matters. What it feels like to make decisions from clarity instead of fear. 🚀 On Life After the Program: How Elaine transformed an insight into a decision that made her love getting out of bed again. The one simple daily habit that keeps anxiety at bay. The life-changing question that put everything in perspective. How Elaine started trusting her body’s response as a decision-making tool. About Elaine Acker Elaine Acker is a self-proclaimed word nerd, English professor, ghostwriter, and cookbook publisher. Whether she’s helping clients preserve family legacies through food or coaching authors through their first manuscript, Elaine proves that fulfillment doesn’t require a fresh start—just a realigned path. If Elaine’s Story Resonates With You… You might be wildly successful on paper… and still feel like something’s off. You might tell yourself, “Now’s not the time”—even though nothing feels right. You might think you need clarity. But what you really need is a starting point. That’s what the Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment offers. About the Freedom Reset: Your Next Steps to Realignment Program A neuroscience-backed, multi-layered 75-day group experience for leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are: Tired of being “busy” without feeling fulfilled Ready to stop second-guessing every decision Craving quiet clarity instead of chaotic change Not interested in talk therapy—but ready for transformation What’s Included: Daily support inside a private, low-noise community Weekly, flexible on-demand video lessons 30-minute live group coaching sessions (recordings available) Real-time coaching with Lisa for 75 days One-year access to future cohorts Built for real people with real lives—not just high performers in Fortune 50 boardrooms.

Authenticity Isn’t Performance—It’s Presence: Unlocking Coherence in a Noisy World with Lisa McGuire 10/07/2025

Authenticity Isn’t Performance—It’s Presence: Unlocking Coherence in a Noisy World with Lisa McGuire Authenticity has become a buzzword—so overused it’s at risk of losing its meaning. But what if we told you that true authenticity isn’t about oversharing, transparency, or visibility? In this episode, Lisa McGuire takes us back to the essence of what authenticity really is: coherence—the alignment between your inner truth and your outer expression. With heartfelt storytelling, real-world micro-practices, and the kind of clarity that cuts through the noise, Lisa helps high-achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives step out of performance mode and into embodied presence. If you’ve ever felt like you’re showing up but not being felt, this conversation is your call back to truth. This episode isn’t a pep talk—it’s a transformation moment. You’ll learn how coherence shortens sales cycles, creates emotional resonance, and energetically shifts every room you walk into. Whether you're leading a business or redefining your voice, you'll get a framework that will help you shed the mask and show up with unshakable clarity. Key Takeaways: Authenticity is not vulnerability, transparency, exposure, or visibility Performance drains energy; presence connects and invites trust. Presence is a practiced skill, not a personality trait. Your clearest signal is the truth of who you are. Authenticity polarizes—standing in truth either invites people in or filters them out. Realignment leads to the freedom you're craving.

Rewire Your Life: Unlocking the Power of the Mind-Body Connection with Mary Clavieres 09/30/2025

Rewire Your Life: Unlocking the Power of the Mind-Body Connection with Mary Clavieres Let’s be honest… does life feel like someone shook your snow globe, and it hasn’t stopped spinning since? In this heartfelt and practical episode of Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire welcomes Mary Clavieres, transformational guide and author of Mind Body Connection: Unlocked. Together, they explore what it really means to reconnect with yourself when the world feels anything but stable. Mary shares her raw journey—from leaving corporate, moving countries, and rebuilding her identity—to discovering that the wisdom we need has always been within us. You’ll walk away from this episode with more than just inspiration—you’ll have a set of tools to help you slow down, tune in, and lead your life with clarity, self-trust, and grounded resilience. “The body knows before the mind does—we just have to remember how to listen.” – Mary Clavieres KEY TAKEAWAYS Transformation is gentle, not forced. It happens when you reconnect with your inner truth—not when you push harder. Self-trust is a muscle. The more you listen to your body, the stronger your decision-making becomes. Your conditioning isn’t your fault—but it is your responsibility to unlearn. Energy moves before logic. Learn where in your body your intuition speaks to you—and trust that. Daily practices anchor you. One minute of presence can completely shift your day.

How to Sell with AUTHENTICITY (Even If You're in a ‘Fake It’ Industry) with Larry Levine 09/23/2025

How to Sell with AUTHENTICITY (Even If You're in a ‘Fake It’ Industry) with Larry Levine Selling From the Heart: Why Authenticity, Not Performance, is the Future of Sales This conversation goes straight to the heart—literally—with bestselling author and award-winning podcaster Larry Levine, who is on a mission to disrupt the sales profession with a radically human message: No More Empty Suits. In a world obsessed with performance, Larry brings us back to what really builds trust—authenticity, presence, and heart. After 30+ years in B2B sales and realizing how broken the traditional sales script had become, Larry now leads a movement that encourages professionals to throw out manipulative tactics and embrace who they really are. This episode is full of powerful mic-drop moments and honest truths. If you've ever felt like you're faking it in order to succeed—or that your relationships are surface-level at best—this conversation will call you in, not out. Lisa and Larry break down how showing up with your whole heart is the competitive advantage in today’s trust-deficient world. Key Takeaways "Selling from the Heart" isn't a tactic—it's a movement rooted in authenticity and integrity. The traditional, transactional sales script is outdated and costs us trust and long-term relationships. Trust is built not with performance, but with presence and vulnerability. “It’s hard to sell from the heart if you don’t know what’s in your heart.” Long-term success is a byproduct of consistency, discipline, and self-awareness. Most salespeople don’t really know their clients—they just think they do. If leaders want heart-centered sales teams, they have to model it from the top. Authenticity = congruent walk and talk. IQ might get your foot in the door, but EQ builds lasting client loyalty.

Beyond the Scoreboard: Raising Good Humans Through Youth Sports with Jonathan Carone 09/16/2025

Beyond the Scoreboard: Raising Good Humans Through Youth Sports with Jonathan Carone What if the chaos on the sidelines could be replaced with calm, connection, and character-building moments? In this profoundly insightful episode, we sit down with Jonathan Carone, the creator of Healthy Sports Parents, a fast-growing podcast and social media movement that’s transforming how we view youth sports. With over 70,000 followers and 2 million monthly views, Jonathan’s message is clear: youth sports are not about raising great athletes — they’re about raising great humans. From sideline meltdowns to teachable moments, he shares how sports can become a virtual classroom for life, teaching resilience, teamwork, responsibility, and emotional intelligence. Whether you're a parent, coach, or simply someone who's seen a youth game go off the rails, this episode will leave you inspired to shift your mindset and parent with intention — from the bleachers and beyond. You’ll also hear about his upcoming book, The Sideline Survival Guide, and how a side project grew into a national movement with endorsements from Olympians and Division 1 coaches. Key Takeaways: Youth sports should be a classroom, not a competition. Emotional chaos on the sidelines affects kids deeply — awareness is key. Parenting from the sidelines means cheering, not coaching. Empathy and self-awareness lead to better sideline behavior. Responsibility and resilience are the real trophies of youth sports. The 10 Commandments of Healthy Sports Parenting are changing lives. Generational impact starts with you showing up differently today.

Stop Applying. Start Positioning: The Career Strategy That Lands with Lori Lawrence 09/09/2025

Stop Applying. Start Positioning: The Career Strategy That Lands with Lori Lawrence Ready for a soul-stirring mix with strategy? That's what's packed into this episode of Your Passion, Purpose & Personal Brand when Lisa McGuire sits down with the dynamic Lori Lawrence, Founder of Next Chapter Career Coaching. Lori is a former Fortune 50 leader turned career reinvention coach who’s helping mid-to-late-stage professionals land high-paying roles without sacrificing their authenticity or dignity. At a time when job searches are more competitive than ever—and ageism looms large—Lori brings hope and hard truth. With 28 clients placed in six-figure roles in under a year, her framework isn’t just effective—it’s transformational. Lori dives deep into how tenured professionals can stop spinning their wheels, shift from fear to fierce clarity, and own their unique ROI in today’s market. She shares her 5-pillar framework that helps clients get hired fast—not by flooding job boards, but by reframing their brand, mastering executive presence, and networking with surgical precision. If you've ever questioned your value after a layoff, doubted your relevance, or struggled to speak confidently about your next chapter—this episode is for you. Prepare to rethink everything you know about job searching, confidence, and career reinvention. Key Takeaways: Old school job search tactics no longer work—it’s time to lead with clarity and intentionality. Tenured professionals must define a personal brand that aligns with who they are now, not just who they’ve been. Structure, routine, and mindset matter more than most realize during a job transition. Networking isn’t about schmoozing—it’s about strategic connection with decision-makers. Overcoming ageism starts with owning your energy, enthusiasm, and experience—out loud. You're not selling yourself—you're positioning yourself as the solution. Interviews should be treated like business conversations, not interrogations. The shift from “I need a job” to “Here’s how I add value” is a game-changer.
