Whether you are in the early planning stages, you run a well-established business or you are looking to expand your operation, we can provide you with the guidance to thrive in these ever-changing times.
Our podcast is a forum to give back and help our community of amazing entrepreneurs while we aspire to achieve the elusive notion of “Serenity Now”.
After 79 Episodes and Five Years, Serenity Now Signs Off With Reflections on Building a Podcast Legacy
After five years and 79 episodes, Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs is signing off with one final conversation. A bittersweet post.
The latest episode brings together hosts Rita Kim, Candace Nancke, and Peggy Aulenback, along with editor Robert Puharich, to reflect on a podcast that started as a COVID-era passion project and has become a repository of unfiltered entrepreneurial wisdom you won't find in business school.
From the vulnerability of redefining "normal" as a business owner to the tactical brilliance of guests like Kasha, who transformed a generational business with a name change that makes 80% of 2.5 million annual passersby turn around, these conversations captured what it's really like to run a business when there's no one else to talk to.
The hosts discuss their most impactful episodes, including the widely viewed "no-asshole rule" discussion and insights from Olympic coach Shawnee, while acknowledging the lonely reality of entrepreneurship and explaining why creating this resource mattered.
If you've ever felt isolated in your business decisions or wondered whether your struggles are normal, this finale offers both validation and a roadmap to 79 episodes of practical, honest entrepreneurial storytelling that will remain available long after this final sign-off.
An episode to remember and one that wasn't easy to record.

How a Homemade Pain Relief Formula Became a Small-Batch Skincare Business
When every woman at a book club immediately buys a product after trying it once, you know something's working.
The latest episode of Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs features Deborah Coggles, founder of Esther's Essentials, who turned a sister's severe arthritis pain into a thriving small-batch skincare and healthcare business.
What started as a homemade pain relief formula that had her sister walking without a limp became a word-of-mouth sensation built entirely on customer transformations.
Deborah shares how she built a product line using rooftop-grown herbs and Canadian-sourced ingredients, why she customizes formulations at no cost for customers with sensitivities, and the personal pivot that made this business possible after two hip replacements and her role as a caregiver for her grandson.
This episode delivers real insights on starting a product-based business from scratch, building through authentic customer relationships, and the critical business decisions required to scale beyond the startup phase.

How to Stop Losing Employees After Spending Six Months Training Them
Most managers don't realize they're creating their own turnover problem until it's too late. If you're still managing your team with a one-size-fits-all approach, you're already losing the battle for talent.
In the latest episode of Serenity Now for Entrepreneurs, HR consultant Cissy Pau reveals why the cookie-cutter approach to managing people is driving employees out the door—and shares the specific strategies that keep them engaged instead.
With three decades of HR experience, Cissy explains how to turn your standard annual bonus into personalized incentives (an orthodontics fund for one employee, a first-time homebuyer account for another), why 30-minute monthly check-ins eliminate awkward performance reviews, and how to manage a generation that considers phone calls intrusive.
The episode addresses real scenarios such as the employee who responds "TLDR" to your emails, the new manager who needs an agenda with "kids, pets, family" in brackets as a reminder to ask, and the business owner who talks to their team daily but never discusses career aspirations.
Cissy's "one size fits none" philosophy isn't about making HR complicated; it's about making it work. If you're spending six months training employees only to lose them, or dreading termination conversations because you've never given real feedback, this episode gives you the framework to fix it.
