About Kaitlin:

‌My personal career journey has taught me that ambition can lead to burnout by setting unattainable goals and trying to satisfy everyone. It took me many years to learn that doing more and working harder does not always lead to success. After reaching a breaking point, I dedicated time to learning self-compassion, mindful communication, and empathic leadership skills that have truly shifted how I interact with myself and others and approach my work.

‌I then became determined to find a different solution for small businesses and nonprofit organizations that may be spread thin or have big ideas and visions without the bandwidth to execute on them.

I developed an approach to make mindfulness and compassion practices accessible for all type of business leaders by incorporating the basic concepts into critical business practices like strategic goal setting, product development, and leading a team.

Passion to Profit was created to help leaders like you develop and activate a strategy that allows you and your business to flourish long term. The work we do together will positively influence your life as a whole, while helping you grow your business, lead your team, and achieve your goals!

In this interview, Lynn learns about Franke’s inspiring journey from being an artist and activist to becoming a fierce disability rights advocate for her sister Teresa. This episode is a powerful reminder that we have the strength to withstand and overcome obstacles. 

Their conversation touches on:

• The importance of standing up for your values and doing what is right, but the fear of repercussions that can come from that
• The meaning of family, and how values-based decisions sometimes need to come in the way of family relationships

Tune in for a dynamic discussion on life and growth!

About Franke:

‌“Nobody really knows what life will throw at them. And how they’ll change as a result,” says Franke James. She is an activist, an artist and an author. She’s fought City Hall to build a green driveway (and won); been blacklisted by the Canadian Government for her climate change art—and turned the government’s silencing into international news. Her latest book, Freeing Teresa: A True Story about My Sister and Me, is about choosing her sister’s freedom over her family. Franke helped her younger sister get out of a nursing home. Then all hell broke loose. They had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend the right to be free.

Franke and her husband, Billiam James, helped Teresa regain her decision-making rights and get a public apology from the Ontario Minister of Health. Midwest Book Review said, "The result is more than a memoir: it’s a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom’ are gained through fighting and love."

The memoir has won two Gold Awards from The Human Relations Indie Book Awards for Family Challenges and Special Needs and two Silver Awards for Leadership and Inspirational. In 2015, Franke won PEN Canada’s Ken Filkow Prize for her “tenacity in uncovering an abuse of power” and BCCLA’s Liberty Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2014.

For Franke, the diverse issues in her books, "Freeing Teresa," "Banned on the Hill," "Bothered by My Green Conscience," and "Dear Office-Politics" are all connected by the need to speak up and take action. She lives in Vancouver, BC, with her husband and her sister, Teresa.

In this interview, Lynn learns about Melissa’s journey to becoming The Barefoot Dancing Rocket Scientist, from advancing her career in the Air Force, being rejected as an astronaut despite her credentials, and becoming a leadership coach and author. Their conversation touches on:

• How sometimes other people and the universe may know better what you need in your path, especially when you’re likely to make fear-based decisions
• The impact of wrapping your entire identity around a career, and what happens when you’re redirected or that’s taken away from you
• How discovering life at a different pace can create space for reflection and redrawing

Tune in for a dynamic discussion on life and growth!

About Melissa:

Dr. Melissa Corley Carter, The Barefoot Dancing Rocket Scientist, uses basic principles of rocket science to help rockstar humans reclaim their power, own their awesomeness, and take giant leaps of faith.

An actual rocket scientist, 7 continents marathoner, astronaut reject, speaker, award-winning author, and certified professional coach, Melissa will inspire you to celebrate the power of who you are and to ignite your passion for the life you live.

Before becoming a coach, Melissa spent twenty years aspiring to become an astronaut. In pursuit of that goal she earned two engineering degrees from Stanford University, a commission as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, and a PhD in astronautical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School. Despite perfect vision after corrective eye surgery, her pre-surgical eyesight disqualified her and shattered her astronaut dream.

In the years since, she’s realized that her dream emerged from an intuitive knowing of her spiritual connection with the universe, from a desire to inspire people to greatness the way astronauts had always inspired her, and from the vision of a unified and harmonious world. In her daily dance with the universe now, she's truly living her dream.

Melissa is the author and photographer of the award-winning 2021 coffee table book, "Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents," and the companion wisdom card deck, "Running YOUR World." In her book she shares her outer journey across the continents and her inner journey of recovering from shattered dreams and realigning her life with powerful purpose. Her wisdom cards will guide you to pause, reflect, align your own life with powerful purpose, and take inspired action toward your dreams.

Melissa’s journey has taught her that identity and goals are not synonymous, that even major disappointments hold gifts beyond imagining, and that every experience invites us to take a small step — or a giant leap — into greater alignment with who we really are.

About Sophia:

Sophia has enjoyed three diverse careers: a decade in architecture that included working with famous 20th-century visionary Dr. R. Buckminster Fuller; running her own couture fashion business; and working as a mental health therapist in private practice. She also created Living a Fearless Life, a 12-workshop program designed to help society’s most at-risk women increase their self-esteem, which was piloted in the Philadelphia Prison System and implemented with various groups of at-risk women.

Sophia has experienced a miracle-filled life which is chronicled in her memoir, The Divine Language of Coincidence—How Miracles Transformed My Life After I Began Paying Attention. The miracles were too numerous to cram into one book that she plucked out the ones that related to death which are included in her second book, Consciousness Beyond Death—True Stories of Signs Messages, and Timing. Both books have garnered the attention of scientists and Sophia was invited to join The Scientific and Medical Network as the only non-scientist/academic. Currently she is employed by the Salvation Army as the in-house counselor at a residence that houses ex-trafficked women.

She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, Frank Mallas, who is an architect.

About Deborah:

Deborah Lukovich, PhD is a depth psychologist, author, podcaster, and blogger. Her expertise is the study of the unconscious. After navigating her own midlife unraveling and reconstruction, which paralleled an irrational desire to study depth psychology, she unleashed creatively, and now Deborah is on a mission to grow a movement of self-reflecting humans. She empowers people with a framework for self-reflection focused on learning the language of the unconscious, which is how the Soul reveals clues about our deepest desires.

Dr. Deborah describes herself as an accidentally funny, awkward depth psychology nerd who is addicted to finding meaning in ordinary life events, and over-shares to encourage others to explore the deeper meaning of their lives.

Deborah’s last book Your Soul is Talking. Are You Listening? 5 Steps to Uncovering Your Hidden Purpose, combines her Jungian—based coaching framework for self-reflection with personal stories of midlife unraveling and healing wounds related to sexuality and spirituality.

Now, Deborah is publishing another more personal story. Her memoir, When Sex Meets God: a midlife story, is the juicy version of the dramatic story of her unexpected midlife unraveling and reconstruction, the version that wasn’t needed nor appropriate in the dissertation that led to her securing a PhD in depth psychology.

Dr. Deborah gathered her Top 5 Resources for Relief & Liberation for people who feel disconnected, empty, even lonely despite their success. Her guided meditation for getting immediate relief from anxiety and user-friendly tools for gaining clarity by exploring dreams are unique. Get her guide and more here.

It can be scary! To know you need and want to do something else, but feeling like you’re stuck in the choices you’ve made, or your situation.

But, you’re not!

YES, there are many factors. But there are also MANY ways we can redraw our paths and take our happiness into our own hands.

4 Steps to Redrawing Your Path:

➡️ Understand when your body is telling you that something must change.

This might be: constant upset stomach, headaches, rumination, panic attacks, a feeling you just can’t put your finger on.

Every time I’ve redrawn my path, my body has been the first to know.

➡️ Listen for what you’re being called towards. 
➡️ Tune in to the feelings in your body.

To do this: meditate, journal, practice breathwork or yoga, build your mental fitness.

Change your scenery.

Create space for yourself. That might be getting out of the country, spending a day at a coffee shop being intentional, or something big like leaving your current job, or going on a 10-day silent retreat. What will help you create the space to listen?

Consulted with friends.

Left my job.

Took time for silence. Napped a lot. Unraveled my identity from my professional title.

Took more space and silence.

Worked with a coach.

And started a journal practice.

➡️ Embrace your new future.

To do this: Visualize yourself on your new paths. Start taking small risks and building your confidence. Those bigger risks will seem more attainable.

Work on your mindset. Start identifying and rewriting your limiting beliefs.

Talk to other people and start to open your mind to what’s possible.

You can actually take any interest, hobby, or passion and make it into a career. Look to others for inspiration, and work on your mental fitness and mindset.

But, don’t feel confident yet? Take risks…

For me, it was improv. Improv helped me to build confidence and to play, just have fun. It helped me to really imagine something else for my life.

➡️ Make a plan to get to your new path.

Vision boards don’t happen by accident! I’ve made the mistake of thinking that putting it together was enough. It’s not!

To do this: Identify the first step, even if it’s a baby step. That will help you build your confidence. And, write down what you need to do to make it happen.

Then, it’s time to get serious: quarterly planning! Think 3 months at a time.

PRIORITIZE. Be realistic but concrete.

Seriously? When I first started quarterly planning, one of my goals was “Have some effing fun.” And I identified the ways I would have fun that quarter. I moved from there to setting business goals for myself, and last year I even set a goal to find a partner and fall in love. Honestly.

I did not do ALL of the things in my goal planning, but by sticking with it, I learned what was realistic and have gotten better every quarter. I’m now on my fourth cycle of quarterly planning (shoutout Ally Bubb and Best Ever), and I’ve built a more consistent business, I’ve prioritized fun, I changed my mindset and built really critical self-care routines, AND I found love!

Redrawing your path will not JUST HAPPEN MIRACULOUSLY. You must be intentional, be willing to take risks, have faith, and be willing to learn through the journey. You’ve got this!

• The fears and risks that come along with leaving a stable job for the unknown, including the worry of letting others down

Tune in for a dynamic discussion on life and growth!

About Charlotte:

‌Charlotte graduated from Northwestern University as a Medical Anthropology major focusing her studies on public health, women’s health, and gender studies. She later earned a Master’s degree from UW-Milwaukee in Business Administration with a concentration in healthcare management. Her early professional experiences centered on understanding and serving vulnerable groups through organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Centro Médico Susan Hou/Daniels Hamant Foundation - an international medical clinic and foundation serving a rural community in lowland Bolivia, and Neighborhood Diabetes - a diabetes supply company with a focus on patient education and support.

Charlotte went on to work in veterinary medicine for fourteen years of her career, helping pets and their people have access to the most advanced care in their time of need. For the majority of her veterinary career, she played a key role in growing a network of hospitals from its infancy through acquisition, with opportunities to lead efforts in strategic planning, fiscal management, facilities and IT, leadership and development, event planning, relationship building, change management, marketing strategy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. As the owner of Hale Consulting Services, Charlotte now provides management support to growing small businesses. Areas of expertise include supporting key functions such as operations, finance, marketing, HR, technology, project management, and DEI.

Her roots in anthropology, experiences serving vulnerable populations, and desire to improve her workplace led Charlotte to formalize her involvement in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work. Her DEI journey continued to develop when she joined Professional Dimensions (PD), a women's professional networking group in Milwaukee. A core value of PD is intentional inclusion, and much of the organization's work centers around tackling issues of racism and diversity in Milwaukee. She is a board member and contributing member of the Racial Equity Initiative committee within PD and has helped to develop and facilitate programming to engage members in conversations around racism and to give them tools to be allies in their places of work and communities. She founded and chaired the DEI Committee at the veterinary hospital, where they ultimately created an annual DEI award named in her honor. Additionally, she serves as the Treasurer and board member of Bay Bridge Wisconsin, a community organization working to raise awareness about cultural and racial bias and to influence policy within the village, school district, and law enforcement structures. Outside of her professional interests, Charlotte enjoys yoga, reading, and spending time with her husband, two daughters, and their 2 dogs, Dolly Parton and Harry Styles!

About Sarabeth:

Dr. Sarabeth Berk is the leading expert on hybrid professional identity and career belonging. She was featured in Forbes, is a TEDx speaker and is the author of More Than My Title. Dr. Berk’s formal title is Chief of Staff at Talent to Team, but she calls herself a Creative Disruptor because she works at the intersection of being an artist, researcher, educator, and designer. It took an identity crisis for her to realize she actually integrates these identities together and that’s where her unique value lies.

‌Through groundbreaking research, Dr. Berk developed a one-of-a-kind approach that takes personal branding and career development to a whole new level. Today, she helps professionals discover and articulate their professional identity and unique value in the workforce. As a result, her clients feel more seen, empowered and confident, and teams recognize each other as more than their job titles, valuing the critical yet different roles of experts, generalists, and hybrids in the workforce.

‌Dr. Berk obtained her PhD from the University of Denver, and has degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Rhode Island School of Design. She resides in Boulder, Colorado with her two pups (a golden retriever and miniature schnauzer) and partner who is also a hybrid professional.
