As a private pilot, I am in awe of our military pilots. Their training, perseverance and bravery are second to none. I am please to share this conversation with Caroline "Blaze" Jensen.

Carolyn Jensen's fascination with the skies began at a young age. Growing up in Wisconsin, she vividly remembers the moment that sparked her dream of flying. At just six years old, she watched a biplane dance through the clouds on her parents' TV, That set in motion a passion that would guide her career.

Inspired by the World War II WASPs (Women Air Force Service Pilots- From 1943 to 1944, over 1,000 women flew over 60 million miles ferrying aircraft and personnel, towing targets, and other transport duties as part of the WASP) and the iconic movie "Top Gun," Caroline set her sights on flying combat aircraft. In 1993, the combat exclusion policy for women was lifted, opening the door for Carolyn to fly. (Learn more about the incredible story of these World War II pilots here.)

At the Air Force Academy, she earned her wings. From flying gliders to becoming an instructor, she embraced every opportunity to hone her skills. She flew the T-37 Tweet, T-38 Talon, and eventually the F-16 Fighting Falcon. With over 200 combat hours in Iraq, Carolyn's aerial resume is formidable. Then she joined the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's elite demonstration team.

She credits her extraordinary career success to harnessing failures as stepping stones and seeking mentorship from inspiring figures like the WASP and her own father, a Marine Corps helicopter pilot in Vietnam.

Carolyn's story doesn't end with her military career. She authored a children's book, "Thunder Mouse," inspired by her experiences and the bond with her son during her time with the Thunderbirds. The book serves as a touching tribute to military families and the challenges they face.

In reflecting on her journey, Carolyn emphasizes the importance of determination, leveraging failures, and seeking mentorship. Her transition from military service to the corporate world brought new challenges, but the lessons learned in the Air Force proved invaluable.

Carolyn's story is about the power of following our dreams, with persistent and joy. Enjoy this conversation with an amazing and accomplished woman.

I am endlessly interested in how our self perceptions influence our life paths. Do we create and project a reality that is in our best interests? Can we rewire our brains to do so?

Jenny Potter’s story is an exploration into the stories we tell ourselves and the realities we create.

Jennie Potter is a remarkable woman who has transformed her life from one of trauma and self-sabotage to one of self-love and healing. Jenny’s journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and she shares it with a raw honesty.

Jennie’s story begins at 14, when a traumatic event at a party changed the course of her life. The aftermath of this event led her down a path of negative self-talk, substance abuse, and unhealthy relationships. For years, she felt unworthy and unsafe, until she reached a turning point about 20 years ago. Standing in front of a mirror, with nothing but a sleeping bag and a few pots and pans in her possession, she realized she was meant for more. This moment marked the beginning of her journey towards self-love and healing.

One of the pivotal moments in Jennie’s journey was meeting a healer who introduced her to affirmations. With three simple statements - "I am beautiful," "I love myself," and "I am worthy of love" - Jenny began the long process of rewiring her emotional responses. This practice of affirmations was the first step in what would become a lifelong commitment to personal growth and self-care.

Jennie also discusses the importance of addressing unprocessed emotions, which she believes are often at the root of our daily struggles. She introduces listeners to the Alarm Method, a technique she developed to help people become aware of their emotions, locate them in their bodies, and release them. This method, which stands for Awareness, Location, Ask, Release, and Mantra, is a simple yet powerful tool for emotional healing. By identifying and releasing these unprocessed emotions, Jenny explains, we can free ourselves from the past and show up differently in our lives.

Jennie’s story is a testament to the power of self-love and the importance of addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of healing. Her journey is a reminder that no matter how difficult our past may be, we have the power to change our future. Tune in to this episode to hear more about Jennie’s incredible journey and learn how you can start your own path to self-love and healing.
