What happens when you realize the "safe" path isn't actually serving your soul? Kevin Green knows this tension intimately. From corporate chef to high school educator to personal chef turned professional speaker, Kevin's journey is a masterclass in listening to that inner voice that says "you're made for more" - even when it means walking away from security.

This conversation shares about the courage it takes to step into your authentic voice after years of playing small. Kevin shares the pivotal moments that forced him to confront his own limiting beliefs, the toxic business partnership that became his greatest teacher, and why he spent years "in the closet" - afraid to share his opinion or claim his seat at the table.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Kevin's "Three P's" framework: Purpose, Passion, and Potential as the foundation for creating a life you love
• The difference between living with closed fist control versus open-handed trust
• How a toxic business partnership and unexpected divorce became his greatest teachers about boundaries and self-worth
• Why perfectionism and the need for certainty kept him playing small for years
• The art of taking "responsible risks" while building something meaningful

The Heart Work Moment: Kevin's revelation that "questions cause anxiety, but periods produce power" - and what it means to live from a place of security rather than scrambling for certainty.

This episode reminds us that your story - even the messy, imperfect, still-being-written parts - is exactly what someone else needs to hear. Sometimes the greatest risk isn't jumping into the unknown; it's staying silent when you have something important to say.

What do great relationships and thriving businesses have in common? They both fail when you're only focused on the end goal instead of showing up intentionally every day. Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa get raw about the messy reality of transitioning from boss mode to wife mode, why "How was your day?" conversations aren't cutting it anymore, and the uncomfortable truth about growing together versus growing apart.

This episode dives deep into the real talk about maintaining intimate connection while chasing big dreams. From weekly marriage check-ins that prevent roommate syndrome to navigating wildly different work schedules, this conversation is for anyone who refuses to choose between love and ambition.

🔥 In This Episode:

• The art of shedding your "entrepreneur armor" when you walk through your front door
• How to handle the 80/20 seasons when one partner needs to carry more weight
• Weekly marriage meetings that actually work (and why they're non-negotiable)
• The difference between independence and interdependence in relationships
• Leading by example when you want your partner to do their own inner work
• Why scheduling spontaneity isn't an oxymoron - it's survival
• Creating sacred transitions between work energy and home energy

Stop choosing between building your empire and nurturing your most important relationship. This episode proves that when you show up intentionally for love, everything else gets easier - including success.

What happens when you stop following someone else's roadmap and start creating a life that aligns with your deepest values? This week, the magnetic Emily Elias joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about finding your path, creating boundaries between work and home, and stepping into authentic leadership.

When COVID forced a pivot in Emily and her husband Alejandro's plans, they didn't panic—they paused to ask deeper questions about what truly mattered to them.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Her inspiring vision to build 300 clinics—a legacy that might extend beyond her lifetime
• How Emily discerns between friction that signals growth versus discomfort that signals misalignment
• The profound truth about delegating: "Just because you can do it all doesn't mean you should"
• Why Emily believes balance is an absolute myth, and the two non-negotiables she focuses on instead
• How stepping into motherhood helped Emily reclaim her identity beyond business partnerships
• Embracing a vision larger than yourself while staying grounded in day-to-day purpose

Emily's life in Abilene, Texas—a place with tumbleweeds and barrel racing—wasn't the mountain paradise she initially envisioned, but it became the perfect foundation for her family and practice.

This conversation is a masterclass in discernment, offering practical wisdom for entrepreneurs navigating the complex dance between ambition and wholeness.

This isn't just another conversation about practice building—it's permission to design a life that honors all aspects of who you are.
