Write Your Outcome

What if the life that looks good on paper… isn't the life you're meant to live? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with Jane Bond—author, identity strategist, and speaker who helps high-performing individuals navigate powerful identity shifts. Jane opens up about living a "B+ life"—successful on the outside, but misaligned on the inside—and what it really took to unpack it all and start over. We talk about grief, burnout, imposter syndrome, and the quiet moments when you realize something isn't right—even if everything looks perfect. Jane shares how to peel back inherited identities, stop performing for the world, and reconnect with what truly lights you up. If you've been moving fast, checking boxes, and wondering why it still doesn't feel like you—this conversation is your permission to pause, question, and rebuild from the inside out. Because writing your outcome isn't about maintaining what no longer fits. It's about having the courage to become who you were always meant to be.    Connect with Jane Bond Instagram: @janebond___ LinkedIn: Jane Bond Podcast: Unpack Your Life  

What if abundance isn't something you chase… but something you activate? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with Elaine Starling—The Abundance Ambassador, TEDx speaker, and creator of The Alignment Code™. After a life-altering stroke and a profound spiritual experience, Elaine returned with a completely new understanding of abundance, alignment, and what it truly means to partner with something greater than yourself. We talk about shifting from force to flow, trusting your inner guidance, and why the contrast and challenges in your life are actually part of your expansion. Elaine shares how abundance begins as an energy—a feeling—and how learning to realign in the moments you feel off is where true growth happens. If you've been pushing, striving, or trying to control every outcome… this conversation is your invitation to pause, trust, and allow something greater to unfold. Because writing your outcome isn't about chasing more. It's about becoming aligned with what's already meant for you.

What if the answers you're searching for… are already inside you? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with Danielle Fette—co-founder and CEO of Fettech, nurse-turned-innovator, and a true trailblazer in regenerative medicine. Danielle shares her journey from the hospital floor to building a company that is redefining how we heal—by empowering the body to repair itself naturally. But this conversation goes far beyond medicine. We talk about trusting your inner knowing, choosing the road less traveled, and having the courage to walk away from systems that don't align with your values. Danielle opens up about starting from scratch—facing financial hardship, uncertainty, and doubt—while holding onto faith that her work was bigger than her circumstances. If you've ever felt called to something different… something bold… something that doesn't quite fit the mold—this episode will remind you to listen to that voice. Because writing your outcome isn't about forcing a result. It's about trusting that what's meant for you will find you—when you're willing to follow the signs.    Connect with Danielle Fette Company: Fettech (Regenerative Medicine Innovation)

In this episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with Kelly & Esfandiar, whose lives changed in an instant after a devastating accident left Esfandiar with a traumatic brain injury and a long road to recovery. But instead of asking "Why me?"—they chose a different path: "Try me." Together, they share how mindset, love, and daily habits helped them rebuild not just a life—but a stronger, more intentional one. From relearning how to walk and talk, to running marathons, to creating a life rooted in gratitude, presence, and discipline—this is a story of what's possible when you choose your response, no matter the circumstance. We talk about simple yet powerful tools—gratitude, breathwork, meditation, movement, and perspective shifts—that anyone can use right now, regardless of where they are in their journey.

What if divorce didn't have to be a battlefield… but instead became a turning point for clarity, growth, and intentional living? This week, I sit down with divorce strategist, lawyer, and coach Karen Covy to explore a completely new way of navigating one of life's most emotional transitions.  Karen reveals why most people approach divorce from fear and confusion and how that path often leads to unnecessary conflict, cost, and long-term pain. Instead, she introduces a different approach: one rooted in education, emotional awareness, and intentional decision-making. This is about more than ending a relationship. It's about consciously creating what comes next.

If you've ever felt like something is missing—even when everything "looks right"—this conversation will help you get honest, get clear, and take your next step forward.

This week, Michele sits down with Sarah Olivieri, entrepreneur, nonprofit strategist, and creator of the Impact Method, for a conversation about courage, clarity, and choosing the life you know you're meant to lead. After years of helping other visionary leaders build their dreams, Sarah realized something profound: she had been helping everyone else write their outcomes, but hadn't fully claimed her own. In a moment of deep reflection, she chose to step into a new chapter—one where her work, her voice, and her vision could truly be her own. This conversation is about more than strategy. It's about listening to the quiet inner voice that says there's something more for you and having the courage to follow it.   Connect with Sarah: Website: saraholivieri.com Podcast: Inspired Nonprofit Leadership LinkedIn: Sarah Olivieri

So many high-achieving women have mastered their careers but feel confused, discouraged, or exhausted when it comes to love. In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach, hypnotherapist, and author Mina Yang to unpack why so many high-achieving women struggle in relationships. It's not because you're "too successful" or "too intimidating." It's often because you've learned to shrink, over-give, shape-shift, or chase emotionally unavailable partners. This episode is about taking radical responsibility without self-blame. It's about being clear, setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and believing that healthy love actually exists.   Connect with Mina: LinkedIn: Mina Yang Website: minayang.com Instagram: @mina_yang_true Book: Boss Lady, Boss Love

Last week, I walked through the first three steps of how to Write the Outcome. This week, you're going to learn the last four. This is more than goal setting. Our days are full of different events, and we get to Write the Outcome for every single one. Try this on for 30 days, and you be the judge. Tune in to learn more about climbing the ladder, setting the table, and flipping the script.

Hello, fellow trailblazers! Welcome to Write Your Outcome. My name is Michele Phillips, and I work with leaders to empower them to take ownership of their personal and professional futures. Each week on my show, I will share tools, tips, and knowledge to not only help you create a path for your outcome, but also to help those you lead.   I will be interviewing national and world class leaders to find out how they got to the next level of success for themselves and their team. I myself have been doing this for over 25 years, and I look forward to serving as your guide.
