Sow in Tears Reap in Joy
Today’s guest is the inspiring Dr. Susie—author of Sow in Tears, Reap in Joy, a profound memoir of healing, resilience, and reclamation. Dr. Susie’s journey begins in the shadows of a childhood shaped by a narcissistic mother and the weight of generational trauma.

But Dr. Susie’s story doesn’t end in the dark. She is a mother of two grown daughters, and after surviving a tumultuous first marriage, she’s done the deep, transformative work to heal not only herself but her relationships. Today, she stands in her truth, having rebuilt connection with her children and created a life filled with joy, authenticity, and love alongside her wonderful new husband. Dr. Susie is here to share her hard-earned wisdom, the tools that helped her reclaim her life, and the hope that no matter how deep the wounds, healing is always possible.

Breaking Free: From Emotional Scarcity to Abundant Love
What happens when you spend your entire life feeling like you're not good enough? Sharon Vedano knows this journey all too well. Growing up under the weight of strict Korean-Filipino parents who prioritized academic excellence above all else, Sharon internalized messages of unworthiness that followed her into adulthood. When the first boy showed interest in her during college, she clung to the relationship despite red flags, eventually marrying him and spending 17 years in a partnership where she felt consistently undervalued. After divorcing the same man twice, Sharon began her remarkable journey of self-discovery and transformation.The turning point came when Sharon decided to challenge the limiting beliefs that had controlled her life. Through a practice she calls "notice what you're noticing," she began confronting negative thought patterns—even having full arguments with herself in the aisles of Hobby Lobby to reprogram her relationship with money and self-worth. This inner work transformed every aspect of her life, leading her from a successful career as a defense attorney to becoming a transformational coach dedicated to helping others recognize their inherent value.Most powerfully, Sharon broke generational patterns by creating an entirely different relationship with her children than she experienced growing up. Instead of judgment and high expectations, she built a foundation of unconditional acceptance that her son recently thanked her for over breakfast: "Mom, I'm so grateful I can talk to you about anything."Now happily remarried in a relationship she once thought "only existed in Hallmark movies," Sharon helps others recognize that they deserve love, success, and fulfillment. Her story proves that with commitment and the right tools, we can rewrite the narratives that have limited us and step into lives of authentic joy and purpose.Ready to transform your relationship with yourself? Connect with Sharon through her website or join one of her free workshops to learn practical tools for building unshakable self-worth.

From Corporate Comfort to Entrepreneurial Freedom
What happens when the career you've invested decades building suddenly feels empty? Sheila Andres faced this pivotal moment after 20 years helping grow someone else's business from a California footprint to international success. Despite external achievements, she found herself profoundly disconnected from joy, purpose, and her authentic self.The journey Sheila shares takes us deep into the psychology of transformation, revealing how childhood wounds create adult limitations we often can't see. As a six-year-old temporarily sent to the Philippines while her parents established themselves in America, she internalized painful questions: "Am I not important enough to keep?" This seemingly small moment created a pattern of unworthiness that would influence her decisions, relationships, and professional identity for decades.Sheila's breakthrough came not from pushing harder but from slowing down in a world obsessed with speed. "We're all running at 1000 miles an hour and we feel we have to keep pace, but don't be surprised when after years of this, you suddenly don't know how to stop," she explains. This counterintuitive wisdom—slow down to speed up—became her pathway to clarity and eventually the foundation of her coaching practice.Through her work as a trusted advisor and progress expert, Sheila now helps entrepreneurs navigate their own transformation from "stuck" to successful. Her approach isn't about cookie-cutter strategies but helping each person "succeed their way" by confronting the specific barriers holding them back. The most powerful moments often come when she reflects back to clients what they cannot see themselves, creating clarity where there were only streaks in the mirror.Whether you're considering entrepreneurship, feeling stuck in your current business, or simply seeking more authenticity in your work, Sheila's story offers powerful reminders about the courage it takes to remove the blinders and see yourself clearly.

Answering the Call: One Caregiver's Journey
Have you ever wondered what it really means to become someone's caregiver? Beyond the practical tasks lies a profound journey that transforms not just the life of the person receiving care, but the caregiver themselves.Vaughn Fahie, host of "Caregivers Like Us" podcast, joins us to share his experience of caring for his mother for six years after her stroke. What began as an act of love became a complete life transformation that shifted his perspective on what truly matters. Von explains how he and his co-host Coach Christy created their podcast by simply "pushing record" to share stories that would help others navigate the often overwhelming journey of caregiving.We dive deep into the hidden realities of caregiving that are rarely discussed—from the challenges of caring for parents who might have been abusive, to the strain on marriages, finances, and personal goals. Vaughn provides powerful insights into the daily grieving process caregivers experience as they prepare for loss while providing care. Unlike raising children toward independence, caregiving involves the painful knowledge that the journey ends with death.Perhaps most striking is Vaughn's reflection on life after caregiving ends. The "post-assignment" period brings its own struggles as caregivers must rediscover their identities while processing grief, guilt, and often a lack of acknowledgment for their sacrifice. Yet despite these challenges, Vaughn notes something remarkable: caregivers universally emerge from the experience with greater compassion and a transformed perspective on what truly matters.Whether you're currently caring for someone, know someone who is, or may someday face this reality yourself, this conversation offers vital wisdom on answering one of life's most demanding calls. As Vaughn reminds us, through caregiving we learn that "what matters matters"—a philosophy that continues to guide him long after his mother's passing.Subscribe and share this episode to help others understand the profound truths about caregiving and to honor those who have answered this call of love and sacrifice.
