   Gillian Roehrig: Stop Asking "How" and Start Living the Life You Want

   What happens when you stop asking "how" and start believing the life you want is actually possible? Gillian grew up in South Africa with a dream of something bigger. At 27, she made the bold decision to leave everything she knew behind and start a new life in America. No guarantees. No perfect plan. Just belief that a different future was possible. In this episode of Believe Bolder, Gillian shares the powerful journey that followed. From immigrating to the United States and rebuilding her life in San Diego, to becoming a successful real estate professional and national television host, her story is about courage, reinvention, and the decisions that shape the lives we create. But Gillian's story isn't just about changing countries. It's about changing the way we see ourselves. It's about overcoming the quiet voice of doubt that tells us we're not good enough, and replacing it with belief. Through life's biggest transitions — grief, divorce, motherhood, career changes, and even recovering from a surfing accident that broke her neck — Gillian discovered a mindset that keeps her grounded and moving forward. It's a daily practice she calls AID: appreciation, intention, and delegation. A simple but powerful way to shift perspective, stay focused on what matters, and create a life that feels meaningful and bold. This is where you'll want to hit rewind. You'll hear: • Why appreciation can completely shift your mindset and energy • How Gillian found the courage to leave South Africa and start a new life in America • The moment she stopped living from "I'm not good enough" and started believing in herself • Why the life you want begins with a decision, not a perfect plan • How the AID method can help you reset your focus every single day • What major life transitions taught her about identity and living authentically • Why believing in yourself may be the most important decision you ever make Gillian's story is a reminder that bold lives are not accidental. They are created through belief, action, and the willingness to follow the dreams that refuse to leave your heart.

But this conversation isn't about headlines — it's about what survival actually requires. In this powerful episode of Believe Bolder, Elizabeth opens up about reclaiming choice after captivity, taking back the power of her narrative, and why survival is only the beginning.

   Roddy de la Garza: The Mindset That Makes Failure Impossible

   Roddy de la Garza lives in a place most people never quite get to — the belief that failure isn't an option because it was never invited into the room. In this conversation, Roddy and Scott dig deep into what it really takes to build a life, a career, and relationships rooted in belief instead of fear. From expanding into new markets with confidence, to asking "who cares?" when doubt tries to take over, Roddy shares the mindset shifts that allow momentum to replace hesitation. This episode isn't about doing things perfectly. It's about doing them anyway. You'll hear how Roddy: • Learned to stop waiting for permission and started creating opportunities • Built confidence by surrounding himself with believers, not doubters • Turned discomfort into clarity instead of retreat • Reframed fear with two simple words: "who cares?" • Chose action over inaction, even when the outcome wasn't guaranteed • Created something meaningful by reaching out, saying hello, and believing first Roddy also shares the heart behind his book, Above Asking, which grew from a deeply personal tradition and became a daily practice focused on mastering yourself before chasing more. It's a reminder that growth doesn't come from shortcuts — it comes from intention, reflection, and showing up with purpose.
