Dear Friends, Due to some difficult life circumstances, we’ve made the tough decision to end the Goal Magic podcast. We both needed to reclaim some precious time and headspace and this felt like to right time to bring the project to a close. If you've been a listener of the show, we want to you to know that we are so grateful that you joined us on …

For anyone furloughed or out of work right now and not sure what your next move is, this episode may spur some creative energy in you. I happen to know our next guest because she grew up in the same town as I did, and was friendly with my family. We connected on Instagram a little while back, which is when I got wind that she was creating content f…

We are going to level with you, this has been just the weirdest time to be alive. We’re all experiencing the weirdness at the same time and in different ways. It’s like an unwanted Instagram filter of fear, anxiety and uncertainty has been applied to the whole world, and none of us quite knows what to do about that because we’re in uncharted territ…

Have you ever had the gut feeling that you needed to do something and take a leap but you felt unsure? Have you ever wanted to go into a new industry but were feeling uneasy if you should take the risk, even though there was nothing stopping you? If these sound like you then you will want to tune into a very cool episode today focused on taking a r…

I’m here today to bring you a very special episode that I recorded with my amazing friend Jennifer Blaine. If you’re a long-time listener, you’ll know that Jennifer has been on the show twice before, but this is my first time getting to interview her. We had the most amazingly deep conversation about creativity that had us both in tears by the end.…

This week our guest is an expert in resilience - what it is, if you can learn it, and how to teach it to your kids. Resilience is what separates the people who stay knocked down and the ones who decide to get back up and try again. It’s something I am fascinated by. Our guest Dr. Lucy Hone got personal and vulnerable as she shared her own story of …

I love learning about the science of our bodies - what makes them stronger and better, and how we can circumnavigate them when they’re not doing what we need them to. This was the topic of discussion with my next guest, who studies the brain and neurobiology. We talk about how brain development gets disrupted for girls, and how this plays into some…

We are kicking off 2020 with some heavy hitters, including an Emmy-nominated producer who recently overhauled his family’s financial future with one tiny but major concept that could also change your life: FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early). If you are wondering how you can retire early and what it may take, if you’re sick of the grind and …

We are kicking off 2020 with one of our favorite guests and fit-fluencers, Mackie Root. Yep, he’s back and we are dishing on the best things you can do to kick off your healthiest year yet because more than ever, we all know how our health can influence so much - from our mindset to our sleep to our productivity and even our stress. It’s why we wan…

Happy Holidays to all the friends and listeners of our show and welcome to our last podcast of 2019... and of the decade! I can’t quite believe how many closures are happening as 2019 comes to an end, but I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and new year. I hope our show has helped you out, brought you…

As we round out the year and head into the new year, which is always a great time for resetting and restarting, we want to give you the tools you need to light a fire and blaze a trail for whatever you want to achieve in your own life. It’s why we brought back Andy Ramage, who started One Year No Beer, had appeared on the Rich Roll show, and now ha…

We have an awesome episode this week for all the moms out there. I actually came across our guest today when I was searching for exercises to help my bad back, and ironically, found videos about core health and postpartum strength training. I kept saving videos from her as she popped up in my social feed, but was most impressed with her focus on wo…

Brennen and recorded this episode together because Brennen witnessed a friend's life event that shifted his own life in a big way. For those of you who are stuck in any way, this show is a great reminder that nothing is permanent, not even your life; that you can change at any point; and that if we can get unstuck in our everyday lives so can you. …

With the holidays next week, and the onslaught of parties, goodies, and just the overall stress that we sometimes feel to make it all happen, we wanted to bring back one of our favorite guests to help us manage our health during this time, Mackie Root. Mackie and I chat about the best ways and the most simple things you can do to ensure that you do…

Our episode today was recorded with a dear friend of Brennen’s and mine. We have been lucky enough to work with Russ Hickman when he took our photos for both our Goal Magic shoots. Upon learning more about his unusual childhood, his path from wannabe director living in NYC to finding passion in photography and stills, and finally his road to coming…

Unless you’re living in the dark ages, you know or have heard or even seen how cannabis has become THE hot topic in our country. From CBD to legalizing marijuana, cannabis is the girlfriend everyone wants to date or is dying to be. It’s why we decided to bring on a trailblazer in this space, who has been on the front lines of this trend for over a …

Our episode today is one that is fueled by our own desire to continue to push for a fair and representative democracy. While voting is not something that everyone does in every election (local or presidential) we want to urge people to go and vote so that your voices are heard more loudly and consistently. The Atlantic is saying to brace yourself f…

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” Aristotle once said, and it’s one of the reasons that I brought our next guest on our show. The episode we have got for you today will have you turning the mirror on yourself over and over, so that you can better understand your own reactions to loved ones in your life, and have you taking responsib…

One of the biggest things on my mind is millennial debt and the crisis it is creating for our economy. I think about this A LOT, in part because my husband and I discuss his student debt ALL. THE. TIME. Business Insider says that the average millennial earns $35,455. The average student-loan debt per 2018 graduate is $29,800. A recent SuperMoney re…

Cynthia and I have a fun episode for you today where we try out our brand new Wheel of Questions segment. What is the Wheel of Questions, you ask? It’s a list of quirky questions that we’ll randomly ask guests at the end of each show, just for fun. Now, I must admit that this segment didn’t quite go as we planned, but the results are pretty funny a…

Bret Moleta went from working corrections full time and having a side hustle as a web design firm, to nearly going bankrupt in 2011 after his employees did the unthinkable, to rebuilding and becoming an SEO (search engine optimization) expert with a thriving 7-figure business. For those of you thinking that you have no clue what SEO is, not to fear…

And, as many of you may know, Brennen and I have our own YouTube Channel where we host an after show for anyone who wants to hear more about our own perspectives on the interviews we do. But while we have this channel, we realized we probably weren’t the experts on it that would make it a success. So we turned to Nate Woodbury, who offered some ama…

Conviction comes before action. This was a quote that we posted on instagram the other day (which, if you haven’t yet checked that out you need to get on that train!) about how committing to something mentally informs your body to then take action. This tenet of life remains true for everyone - did you ever find yourself doing something or calling …

Embracing challenge is a theme we have been talking about for the last couple weeks on the podcast, which is why I’m super excited to bring you an interview I recorded with Andy Ramage, founder of One Year No Beer (OYNB). For anyone who doesn’t know about or hasn’t heard about OYNB, it’s become an international movement, reaching almost 100K people…

If anyone knows Brennen and I, you know that we are kind of health freaks. I personally love a good workout that makes my muscles shake and gets me in a full-body sweat. I love learning about how nutrition and lifestyle can affect the body, and I love learning how herbs and nutraceuticals can affect the body, so it’s no surprise that I was psyched …

I once heard a quote that read, “The day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” and it always reminds me that transitioning and becoming can be a really scary thing, but everyone has a tipping point. Everyone has that threshold where they realize that whatever is on the other side of the pai…

Perhaps you’re still figuring out your life’s purpose, or you have an idea but you're still crystallizing what your life’s work means to you and the people connected with you. To help you sort all of that out, we got to speak with Dr. Nicholas Pearce about his latest book and his five questions that will get you on the path to finding out your true…

Our episode this week is for anyone who is part of the gig and/or expert economy - who finds themselves wanting to work, but also wanting to not feel drained by the micro-decisions around how to manage work with babies, kids, aging parents, or perhaps even a side hobby that you adore. I’ve personally become interested in the gig economy and the exp…

We have a fun episode for everyone who has ever taken a class or pursued a hobby and thought: could I make a living doing this? The answer is yes, and BriAnne DeCarlo is here to share her story of how she did just that with a full time job, a husband and two kids. Some of the more interesting moments in our interview are when she talks about how sh…

This week our episode is with a dear friend: Naila Francis. I had been stalking Naila on social media and kept seeing beautiful poetic posts from her about life and love, and also posts about couples whose marriages she officiated, looking blissfully happy and in love...only to be surprised later to see that she also became a certified death midwif…

This week we are bringing you an episode that I recorded with Lindsay Liebman, who is the owner and founder of Paper & Posh. Lindsay’s story of being a lawyer, to then having kids and feeling like life got more complicated, to deciding to take a career U-turn is not dissimilar from many of the folks we speak with on our show. What got me about Lind…

https://www.onevillagecoffee.com/ Today, I have a fantastic interview for you with my friend Andrea Hackman, the President of One Village Coffee. We had a wide-ranging conversation, but the theme Andrea kept coming back to was the grit she developed growing up in rural Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. It was that same grit that pulled her marriage…

I had a wonderful vacation this past holiday week, and got some much-needed space and relaxation, just by staying at home and trying very hard to not be productive. You see, I’d been starting to experience symptoms of burnout in recent days from the stress of managing two companies that need a lot of care and attention. I noticed that I was avoidin…

Every so often we get to interview people who are our heroes, who make us feel like fangirls and fanboys, and for me that person was Mary Clare Fischer, who is the wellness editor of Philly Mag and the editor of Be Well Philly. Be Well Philly is one of my favorite ways that I have been able to navigate the wellness scene in the Philly area. Receivi…

I recently was on vacation doing some much needed recharging, which also gave me time to reflect on my life and career and where it is all headed. One of the things that I keep bumping up against is this idea of what it means to really enjoy your work, because I keep talking to people who are so burnt out from corporate, like myself. They’re tired …

I have been out of the country for some much needed re-charging, so Brennen had been holding down the Goal Magic Fort - many thanks and props to Brennen for his help and partnership! Every time I take vacation it becomes a way for me to make space to reflect on my life path and purpose. On this last trip, I came to see that I really want to make a …

In this week’s episode we brought back one of our previous guests who really got into our dirty laundry and made people laugh in doing so. Lauren Handel Zander spoke with us in February of this year and came back to visit us to talk about her new course on how to human better. Brennen and I loved Lauren and her work so much that we decided to partn…

When Brennen and I started this podcast, we knew the topic of getting unstuck would resonate but we didn’t realize how many people would have such powerful and interesting stories that they were willing to share with us like the one from Jennifer Iannolo, whom I interviewed on our show today. She went from being in the world of luxurious food and w…

Today’s episode is a quick one with the two of us, but it’s also a big one. We’re super excited to launch our brand new Getting Unstuck Program, which we have been working on for ages. It’s a totally FREE (for now) course delivered straight to your inbox, and we guide you through a series of steps to help you start to see your massive potential and…

My guest today, Laura Gassner Otting, author of Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life talks to me about everything from screwing the Joneses, why “entrepreneur” is code for “bad employee,” anchor jobs and orbit jobs, doing your career your own way, and so much more. Her book debuted as #2 in the Washington…

I adore this episode so so much, not only because our guest talks about how you can use funnels to supercharge your business and gives you some awesome tips and tools to do that... but also because she used her own experience of going through a divorce to fuel her vision for her brand and her products. Her mission was to automate her business such …

It’s been a nutty few weeks for me because, in case you hadn’t heard, I exited my corporate job earlier this year. If you don’t know the story, you should enroll in our emails where you can get the latest and greatest stories and additional content from us delivered to your door (well, virtual door). I then started my own consulting business, not r…

I have one of the most fun episodes I have recorded in awhile, not because the interview itself was a blast (which it very much was!) but because the process that I took to get this guest reminded me of how sometimes you have to trust your intuition and let things unfold. I actually found this next guest, Dr. Nicola Nice, through a friend that I ha…

Today, I have a fantastic interview that I recorded with my inspiring new friend: life coach and all-around superstar, Khalia Deborah. In this episode, you will learn how Khalia got unstuck after a seriously tough time in her life. She completely transformed herself a few years ago and now she is absolutely crushing it. She has lots of tips to help…

We’ve got a fantastic episode for you all this week, featuring Philly’s own Lauren Nolan-Sellers. Lauren was a school teacher but quickly found herself staring out her classroom window, feeling like she was missing out on the world. After having a life-altering event where Lauren almost died, she decided NOW was her time to follow her vision. She d…

If you’re listening to our show it’s usually because you have an entrepreneurial spirit, and are seeking stories and content that feeds that part of you. Many of you may still be in corporate jobs and grinding away, but know that there is something better...more fulfilling...and more rewarding than what you’re doing at your corporate job. Some of y…

Today we have an impactful (but fun) episode with me and Cynthia where we discuss ways to curb social media overload on our smartphones. We talk about using social media purposefully instead of just mindlessly scrolling through images and videos without really having a purpose to the activity besides entertaining or numbing ourselves. If this topic…

ina Caye’s life and career path has been nothing short of adventurous. She came from humble beginnings in a tiny town of 750 people in Southern Illinois. Tina left to attend Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, GA, where she studied Motion Media Design and Dance. She started out freelancing and tending bar while doing odd-job anim…

If you’ve never tried breathwork, then this is your lucky day, because Michelle leads on a wonderful session toward the end of the interview. Please no…

This week we have an invigorating chat with the incredible Heather Einhorn, I was connected to Heather through her spouse and business partner Adam Staffaroni, who you might remember back from EP 46.
