It is always so great to sit down and chat with Bob Goff! In this episode we are talking about hope and whimsy. And let me tell you, the wisdom just pours out. Bob has such a gift for taking high ideals and turning them into practical realities. My favorite phrase in the whole conversation is "Hope without a plan is just a wish".

As you listen in, you will be both encouraged and challenged to take your next steps! We also dig deeper into how beliefs, strategy, hope and whimsy all work together. Go listen! I'm cheering you on!

Beliefs Part 3 - You Are Not Alone with Lauren Swenson
Do you need to be reminded that you are not alone? This week I’m pleased to introduce you to my dear friend, Lauren Swenson. Lauren and I have been friends for decades and walked through the many seasons of jobs, children, crises, and celebrations that make up the fabric of our lives. What I’ve always appreciated about her is her loyalty, wisdom, faithfulness and authenticity. So, I thought she would be great to join my series on Beliefs.
Listen in as we share insights we’ve learned along the way and how our beliefs have impacted our responses to life. We agree that we are not made to bear life alone...or even celebrate alone. More importantly, when plot twists in life come at us unexpectedly, it is our beliefs anchored in our faith that help us navigate challenging times.
Cheering you on!

Beliefs Part 5 - From Scarcity to Hope with Dawn Neldon
Have you ever known a person that has the ability to be totally honest with themselves and doesn’t flinch at the uncomfortable truths surfacing? This is who I know Dawn Neldon to be. Which is why I asked her to join me in my Beliefs series to talk about going from scarcity to hope.
I have watched Dawn over the years face some hard truths– no matter how unsettling– and most importantly, do something about it. Her transformation from a mindset of scarcity to hope has been a joy to witness. The reason I know this so well is because I have had the privilege of being in a coaching relationship with Dawn. I saw firsthand her fierce tenacity to change the path she was on in pursuit of the life she was made for. Join us in this conversation as you hear Dawn modeling the 3Cs– Clarity, Confidence, and Courage in the spaces she lives and leads.
Dawn Neldon is the dynamic force behind Sunbeam Social, a pioneering marketing firm designed to empower small businesses and passionate entrepreneurs, particularly women, to shine online. With a sharp focus on creating human connections.
