A Joyful Rebellion
This is a joyful rebellion. The podcast that explores the moment you realize the life and success you worked so hard to create didn’t come with all of the fulfillment you thought it would. Each week, we attempt to inspire bold answers to the question, “What do I do now to create a life I love?” If you are ready to start answering that question for yourself, you’re in the right place. Let’s start A Joyful Rebellion.
Who Would You Like to Hear on the Show?
There are three different types of people I love talking with on the show.
-People who have been through A Joyful Rebellion of their own
-People who guide others through a major life change
-People who are in the middle of their Joyful Rebellion Journey
If you know someone who might inspire others with their story, I'd love to connect with them. CLICK HERE to let me know who you have in mind.

Maggie Mills- Ghost Writer
Wednesday May 08, 2024
Wednesday May 08, 2024
I love a good story. Sometimes that means reading about other people’s stories in books or creating stories of my own, out in the real world. For today’s episode, I traveled south and met up with ghostwriter Maggie Mills in a most unexpected location.
Maggie is the most famous author you’ve never heard of and we discuss writing, the best way to write your own story, and how she helps her clients get their stories out into the world through publishing books.
Before we begin, though, I’d like to thank the author, John Berendt, for the story he published thirty years ago that caused this whole thing to come together the way it did.

Benjy Sherer- Emotional Fitness
Wednesday Apr 24, 2024
Wednesday Apr 24, 2024
I say it a lot, but we ALL have stuff. And I’m talking about emotional baggage, trauma, whatever you choose to call it, we all have at least a little. But what do you do when all of that emotional baggage starts to get in the way of the person you want to become?
Benjy Sherer is an emotional wellness coach and author of 'Feelings First Shadow Work' and '10 Mind Hacks for Quicker Emotional Healing'. He teaches his clients how to master their emotions as quickly, easily, and painlessly as possible.
His unique methods help people bypass their logical brains and connect directly to their emotions to release past trauma, limiting beliefs, and self-harming patterns without needing to focus on all of the past traumas that caused these issues in the first place.
He’s helped client after client overcome stress, anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, PTSD, and depression, and find the real and lasting self-love and joy they've struggled so many years to attain.
Today I talk with Benjy about his framework of emotional fitness and how he equips his clients with the tools to move beyond their current limitations.

Shari Rash- Insider's Secrets About Women and Money
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
Thursday Apr 18, 2024
I talk a lot about relationships on this podcast, and today is no different. Well, maybe a little. What’s your relationship with money? Does thinking about your bank or investment accounts leave you feeling stressed or excited? Do you consider money to be simply a tool, or did someone in your past twist that bible verse to convince you that it’s the root of all evil. What attitudes about money were you exposed to in your childhood that are holding you back all these years later?
My guest today is Shari Rash, Financial Advisor and founder of Greenway Wealth Advisory. Shari has over 17 years of experience working in the financial services industry, and is the author of Insider's Secrets about Women and Money.
We talk about how the lessons we either did or didn’t learn about money from previous generations in our family could be holding us back from a healthy relationship with it.
Shari shares insights she has learned about personal finance through the years, differences between how men and women view finances and she explains how to discover your spending personality.

Ricky D Sluder- Accepting Truth, Finding Hope!
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Thursday Apr 11, 2024
Everyone you know is going through or has gone through a period of their life so challenging or negative, that it makes them question their faith or their purpose in this world. My guest today knows that feeling all too well and has earned what I think of as multiple PhDs from the school of hard knocks, and he’s come through those experiences with a stronger understanding of his faith and a commitment to use his familiarity with trauma to help others find hope for themselves.
Ricky Sluder is a survivor of childhood trauma and has battled Complex PTSD himself, which helped him develop a faith-based alternative to the traditional mental health counseling model. His approach is to coach people who feel sidelined by life in a way that uses their past difficulties as fuel to get them back into the game.
In 2022, Ricky Sluder published his book, Accepting Truth, Finding Hpe! We’re going to dive super deep into his story, so buckle up extra securely for this one. It might just be the most real interview I’ve done so far.

Terry Sidford- Truth. Courage. Love.
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
I love a good story where the hero overcomes some sort of adversity. A story without at least a little adversity isn’t much of a story at all, because we love to conquer the external forces holding us back from our dreams.
I’ve noticed recently though, that outside of dramatic weight loss stories, I don’t see many people shouting about how they overcame their complacency in different areas of their lives. I can tell you from experience, that complacency kills as many, if not more dreams than adversity ever did.
My guest today is Terry Sidford, a popular TEDx speaker, certified life coach, and author of her new book, Truth. Courage. Love., Terry helps people reach their greatest potential, so they can achieve their goals and have a bigger impact on the ones they care about.
Today we talk about the courage it takes to face your truth and live up to your fullest potential, and the top five lies we tell ourselves that are holding us back.

Jason Del Gandio- Feel the Vibes
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
”Vibe” is a word that gets thrown around often, from casual verbal communication to t-shirts and home decor. It’s one of those words you hear a lot of people use, though few can articulate exactly what it is.
Jason Del Gandio has a PhD in Communication Studies and has studied "vibes" for 30 years. He is a published author, an award-winning teacher, and an engaged intellectual.
Throughout our conversation, Jason and I peel back the layers of the concept of the vibe, its history, how it shows up in other cultures, and what you need to know if you want your vibe to be the best it can be.

Kelly MacLean- What You Were Never Told About College
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
When you were a kid, how often did you think about what kind of career you wanted when you grew up? Work takes up a lot of space in our lives, and for many, that journey began by deciding if and where to attend college.
My guest today is Kelly Maclean, Founder of the Kelly MacLean Achievement Center. Over the last 11 years, Kelly and her team have helped over 5000 students select the right major and college, get selected for scholarships, and set them up for a bright and successful future.
You know this podcast is all about creating your best life, so even if you don’t have kids or college is just a hazy memory, stick around, because as you might expect, Kelly and I go a little deeper into how decisions made in high school can impact life’s trajectory.

Rick Clemmons- Get Out of Your Closet
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
My guest today is Rick Clemons, Podcast host, and Author of the book, Frankly My Dear I'm Gay: A Late Bloomer Guide To Coming Out.
Rick explains that every one of us is in some sort of closet, and why coming out is our life’s journey toward living authentically. Oh, and spoiler alert, much of this conversation has nothing to do with sexuality and everything to do with unapologetically owning who you really are.
After all, isn't that the ultimate joyful Rebellion?
