44m · Published 01 May 18:00

Virginia Muzquiz is a pretty bold woman. You get struck by her over the top enthusiasm, energy, and optimism. It is a rush talking to her in person. She easily gets into deep, questioning debates. Her honesty about her background, her childhood that while shaky shaped her approach to life and people.

She is pretty distinguished adding to that is her philanthropy on two fronts. First her own substantial support of Seeds of Blessing to her programs where she teaches adding a charity to every business budgeting mix.

She has earned Doctorates, a Masters degree, with her biggest business legacy is the massive number of business owners she has coached to impressive success.

Of course, close to her heart is her children which she explains in humorous detail they are also her source of a great education.

Her humor, bluntness, clear-eyed view of the world transforms our conversation.

Share Munoz - Bull Rider- videographer - horse trainer - Entrepreneur, business owner

43m · Published 08 Apr 15:00

Share Munoz, her unique deep roots as a ranchhand's daughter on a BC ranch far from anyone gave her a solid start. She grew up fearless; independent on her own feet. At four years she climbed on the back of an ornery bull that then wandered around. 

It's not so much that she has no fear, its that she does not see things as being fearful. 

From the ranch, she learned self-reliance, the value of a hard day's work, problem-solving and her big one, there is always a way around any problem.

In that vein, she left school at 16 to start her successful horse training company, toured North America. A tragedy that literally brought her to her knees changed all that. A story you have to hear. 

As a lesson in today's COVID19 crisis, she pivoted, dramatically. 

She now helps others tell their stories, shines a light on them with her partner Fran.

In the conversation, you will see her value in listening, really listening, to people, shine. Share's cornerstone values are visibly in play, they are values to emulate. 

In her life, and it is fascinating to hear, she was not even aware of the glass ceilings she was breaking until it was pointed out to her. 

I think you will enjoy our conversation.

Traci Sparling- St Onge - Abuse effects years later. not defining your life

25m · Published 18 Mar 13:00

Traci discusses the effects of abuse years after the events. In her youth, the last event ended with a knife at her throat. Decades later the effects still intrude. We talk about how it not so much heals as is managed. Misconceptions about long term effects. How she managed it, her advice or insights for other women working through abuse emotions.  

Traci is a champion of this. Her whole life is lived on the other end of the scale now. Yet she talks frankly about it in this special episode.

Traci Sparling-St Onge - A soul of enlightenment - sassy - entrepreneur - abuse surviver - woman's coach

48m · Published 04 Mar 18:00

Traci Sparling-St Onge goes way back with me to the '80s. She has climbed over more obstacles, business and personal,  to arrive at her current place of Joy. She has risen from a survival existence with her first casualty being self-esteem.  She has overcome abuse that cumulated to life-threatening knifepoint. She admits to many bad choices. 

Yet, Traci's climb to her current peak of happiness was marked by her optimism with a soul that is truly beautiful. She remains one of the most generous and sharing people I know. 

She has learned as much from Shamans as she has health and fitness professionals. 

To say her journey has been rocky is being polite, to hear about the values she fixed on, her approaches to overcome and, well, her pure joy in the life she has and shares now could be transforming in itself. 

I think you will enjoy getting to know her, I believe her insights will enrich you then through that enrich the world a little bit more. If nothing else, her joy is infectious. 

You can connect with her here, and check out her books.

Emily Sobkowicz - Heavy Duty Mechanic- philosopher - mom - curious woman.

49m · Published 12 Feb 23:00

Emily is very dear to me, she is such a novel delight. We have gone on long walks discussing the vagrancies of the universe. Her curious mind has poked into a lot of interesting quarters. She is one of the most aware and intentional women I know. 

I have seen her personality change from the invisible mechanic who decided to taste the world to this bold woman that takes nothing from anyone. She can really dress someone down too. 

Yet she remains mother earth, watching her guide her children is a wonder to watch. 

Her path has not been easy, but I would say she has been triumphant. She engages and truly cares about others in a very plain-speaking approach. 

I think you will find her not only as endearing as I have, but full in insights and perspectives.

Richelle Wiseman - Writer- editor- mom - life observer

47m · Published 30 Jan 18:00

My Chat with Richelle was very interesting. Being trained as a Journalist, she watches life and people a little closer than most.  She drew lines in the sand on inappropriate approaches long before the MeToo movement arrived. She was one of the founders of Vision TV.

Richelle now edits and writes books about people's journeys and insights. She is not with insights of her own.
