Since the moment Sally Lou saw a woman carrying a clipboard and wearing a headset at a taping of the Mike Douglas show, she knew what she wanted to do. From working on the Oprah Winfrey show to becoming an author and motivational speaker, Sally Lou has lived her mantras: Be Brave and Do What You Love.

If you are Angela Shelton (and if you listen you can learn why anyone can be Angela Shelton), you can be the person that says "I get s%^* done, I keep moving forward, and I live happily ever after no matter what happens to me." Join me as Angela takes us on a ride through her life saying yes to almost everything that comes her way, and spreading a message of kindness, compassion, and humor.

Listening to Jim's episode should be a daily practice. This gentle man worked in public education for 41 years in different roles, from special education teacher to a building principal. He lovingly and openly shares the wisdom we all need -- how important it is to "quiet the noise", to listen and welcome who you are meant to be, and to be grateful for every moment.

It's not surprising that Jim is a self-described passionate extrovert, as his goal is to connect people around the world based on their common interests. I have no doubt he will create something that will be historically significant through his unique "identity expression network". Not sure what that means? Listen and learn – you won't be disappointed.

It was a pleasure to speak with this warm, modest, and talented performer who shared his passion for several years on tour as Bob Crewe in The Jersey Boys. Though musical theatre is on hold, he remains devoted to the art of storytelling. Listen to his story, and you will get to know his kind and gentle soul.

He's been a stage and screen actor for over 40 years, but  Joe 's true superpower is his positivity. He learned the importance of community and connection from his firefighter dad, and his parents taught him to survive life with joy. Joe is most proud of holding on through the journey – a mantra I think we can all subscribe to.

Jane found her dream home by drawing on a map, and opted out of Cupcake Wars by embarking on a career in lobbying and government affairs. She's a true best friend to all the women in her life, and is as resilient as anyone you will meet.

Suzie 's driving force is love – whether for her clients or animals in need. She may have walked a "stony path" to get where she is, but now that she's here, she's content and compassionate, even during lockdown.

As an author and college professor, she champions the women in our history who have made, and continue to make a difference. Her SAY YES attitude is inspiring and it changed the course of her own life. As Nikki says, we have to make the most of whatever comes our way.

Jessica fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a lawyer, but it's her love of books and inner strength that will impress you. She overcame personal challenges while always maintaining her characteristic positivity and humor. If she gets to open her dream bookstore, I would be her first customer.

You may know him from The Wonder Years and his impressive catalog of film and theatre work, but you may not know his enthusiasm for sharing the stories of the women who changed history. It was fascinating to hear him share acting advice, and his pride in working with Big Brothers. And don't miss hearing about his latest project supporting local theatre – check out NJRep.org !

You don't want to miss hearing Jess's incredible story of transformation from journalist to musician. Her open and genuine soul shines in our conversation. Her message is one to live by – fear is the cage, and love is the key. Jess Novak

From traveling to Central America as a labor organizer and human rights activist to becoming a massage therapist and owning a spa in Syracuse , Ed's core values of justice and compassion shine. He is a compelling storyteller and shares the wisdom he acquired hitchhiking across the country. My next book is going to be the one he just published – Nobody Hitchhikes Anymore – because our half hour con...

He grew up in the projects of Boston, and became a world traveler, sharing stories, culture, and cocktails as the Booze Traveler. And he is also one of the most thoughtful, wise, and inspiring guests we will ever have, sharing why he believes we should learn from every loss and always practice gratitude.

Paula is impressive – she is an advocate for supporting women's intimacy at her VSpot clinic, and a former helicopter pilot. You will learn about her journey to motherhood and be moved by her mantra – she loves to love.

Doc is one of a kind -- he's met everyone from Lee Iacocca to Fran Drescher, and says the only thing he hasn't done is climb Mount Everest. His energy is hard to match, his love of family is inspiring, and he's not afraid to take chances, because as Doc says, mistakes build character.

Sweetie embodies her name as she pursues a life mission to teach and encourage folks to bring their highest purpose to fruition, wanting only to be remembered as someone who loved every moment of her journey. http://sweetieberry.com/ http://developworth.com/
