No Labels, No Limits Podcast

Nowadays, we are more health-conscious than ever before. We are intentionally eating foods that are greener, drinking more water, getting more exercise. Today's guest, Paige Foote, is a Registered Dietician who offers a different way of looking at healthy eating. She is known to say that you don't have to live off of kale smoothies to eat well. During this episode, Paige takes us through her journey from finding her passion to creating her dream job, now being able to truly help people. "My mission with Yeah Girl! Nutrition is helping people to feel confident and positive about themselves and the food on their plate. I want there to be room for growth. We're just bombarded with these really scary messages about food. To make a change, start with really, really small gradual changes that will help you be able to sustain it for the rest of your life." "I remember that now as I start this new journey, to step back, make sure to spend time with friends, do things that are fun, go on adventures, spend time with my

Serial dating is something our next guest mastered on his way to finding his perfect match. Malcolm and Simone share their story of how they met and became a great duo, helping each other develop their character sheet and beginning the process of transformation together. From there, they created a non-profit, wrote an amazing book (originally written for their future children), and helped many others on their way to find their purpose and objective function.  "Most people just let life happen to them. And, whatever it is, it just hits them by chance. It happens to fall in their lap, is what they do, what they become, what they believe. And, what we're strong proponents of is: No, no, don't just accept what life throws at you. Don't just believe what you grew up hearing. Actually go and find what you believe and want." - Simone "The core thing that I think people need to accept, that our society doesn't really get across to people, there are two major decisions that you get to make in life. They are yours, and

Sharing her love of music and the blues, Vanessa Collier doesn't let much hold her back. She is known as a master musician and multi-talented blues performer. She plays all the saxophones, the flute, clarinet, funk piano, guitar, and she's been dabbling with bass and drums. Listen in as we analyze her progression from childhood to her current 27 year old self. "Being an introvert, I feel that I don't always communicate it as clearly as I can, so, one of the things that keeps me thinking is how can I be more clear? How can I communicate better? And, how can I connect with people better? Music has always been a great way for me to do that because it hasn't required words, I can play how I feel." "You're going to feel pulled to something at some point in your life. It may be during college, it may be in your 30s or 40s, where you finally find your life's passion and something that you want to absolutely invest in. Just trust in yourself. Trust that you have everything that you need or you will learn everything t

Our guest today is an incredibly busy, influential woman in the Nevada area. She is a real estate agent, outreach coordinator, recruiter, planning commissioner, and on top of that, she has held many other positions in the nonprofit world and in workforce development. Dian VanderWell has a huge wealth of knowledge to draw from and she shares her stories of transitions, challenges and success through failures. She leaves us with her words of wisdom, especially for those who are struggling: "I learned that I cannot do everything, and I can't be everything to everyone. So, I don't worry about the small stuff anymore. I don't let that consume. I just move on." "Don't have a disease to please, and understand that it's okay to fail. I think that as you grow, as you have children, as you have grandchildren, as you have gains and losses in your life, I think those learnings come with it."

Our guest on episode 014 has spent his life in the passionate pursuit of helping organizations and leaders strengthen their path and transform their journeys. Ron Carucci is a best-selling author, HBR and Forbes contributor, has done TED Talks, and is a Managing Partner at Navalent. When asked about a particularly challenging time in his life, Ron explains how he overcame and ultimately he said, "I became a consultant, a leader, a friend, a parent, that I would have never become had I stayed in my comfortable world.

He also gives a piece of great advise during times of transformation, "One of the things I would tell people as a critical ritual is to create community, create support structures, create valued, trusted advisors and sets of third eyes on your life, to narrate the story for you."

This week's guest has been on a nonstop journey of change and transition in her personal and professional life. Alison Gaulden joins us for Episode 12 and shares her story starting out as a painfully-shy student in high school and progressing through to becoming a reproductive rights advocate, a student mentor and a Lecturer at Reynolds School of Journalism. She has overcome many challenges, obstacles and important losses, but she still holds on to her sassy, unapologetic spirit and encourages other women to do the same. She says, "Happiness doesn't come to you when you do all the right things. Every day you have to get up and decide, no matter what crappy things are going to happen, I'm going to be happy...look at what you are putting out there, what energy, what approach you have, and reassess if it's not working for you, what can you do that's different?"

Ever wish you could be "Location Independent"? You'd have no home base, traveling, balancing, running a company and managing family and responsibilities on the road. Melissa Smith has created that as her reality. Prior to her new career, she hadn't even considered the thought. A few years ago, she experienced the unexpected loss of her husband and was left in a fog for many months after. She decided to make the move back home to California from where she was in Georgia, to be surrounded by family and friends. Later, her daughter wanted to come back to her home in Georgia to graduate high school.

Is a career change possible over 50? Susan Gomez is living proof that you can successfully change careers at any age! Listen in as she shares her story about personal and professional transition after 22 years working for the same non profit company. As a single mom, she had stayed, despite not feeling truly fulfilled. Just five years ago she began to restart her career path and faced her fears surrounding the big decisions to come, the feeling of overwhelm and loss of control. Her transformation was due, in part, to her taking on a new coach, the host of this podcast, Sarah Boxx. Today, she says she is never without a coach or mentor of some sort. "Having a coach gives you the ability to make decisions in a different way. You now have the joy of saying what matters in your life. The joy of knowing that whatever, and even if you fail, it is the ability to know that you can take the risk. It opens up opportunities for every part of your life. It touches every part of your life, not just the career choices. It

Our next guest, Bobbi Albano, is a CFO turned Real Estate Broker who shares some of the lessons she's learned along the way. She speaks about taking advice from family and friends when you’re starting a business or undertaking a big change. Encouragingly, she says, remember that "it's not that they don't love you, it's not that they don't want you to succeed, it's that they're fearful for you. So guard yourself, understand that people come from their own point of view, and be very careful.” She also cautions with a word of advice about our time and dreams: "If you trade hours for dollars, you will never get ahead." Bobbi’s takeaway was, “if you're always in a job where you make a certain dollar amount per hour, you are actually selling your time to another person. They have purchased your time to help build their dream.” Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Sometimes life doesn't take you to your goals, where you want to be and at what time you want to be there, and that's okay. You have to be patient with yourself. Maybe you thought you were going to go right and now you're going left. That's okay." Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brandi Anderson is a very proud native Nevadan, with deep ties to the Northern Nevada community. She knew from a young age, even before she knew the name of the profession that she wanted to be in advertising. There was never any doubt. “That's just what I wanted to do because I'm creative, I'm sassy, I don't take myself very seriously and what fascinates me about marketing and communication is that you can have a profound emotional effect and move somebody and help change their lives and never have met them once. Like many others when she left college she set out for places that could “handle" what she had to offer the world.” In this interview Brandi shares about what drew her back, how she and her husband navigated the devastating prognosis of her son’s cancer, and the valuable life lessons they learned about asking for and accepting help.

Meg Price is considered a “go-all-in, thoughtful, and fearless person” when she sets her sights on a goal. That’s how it was when she graduated with a degree and desire to work with juvenile delinquents and then learned she’d have to leave her home town to find a job. So she drove 3,000 miles west to a county in Nevada of fourteen thousand square miles and only 800 people to go after her goal. She’s known and respected as a career counselor, organizational development specialist, consultant, and artist. In this interview Meg shares how she dealt with her husband’s near fatal skiing accident, handles life’s constant changes, and prepares for and goes after her own personal and professional goals. “I don't see obstacles, I see challenges. And when I see challenges I look for opportunities. And it all shifts pretty quickly in my head, from obstacles to challenges, to opportunities.” Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
