The First Week with Melissa McCarthy | Beyond the Vision Board
Fifteen years building a sales team. One leadership call with 30 minutes' notice, and it was gone.
Everybody wants the comeback story. This episode is about the first week, before anybody knew it would work.
In this episode:
The 30-minute call that ended 15 years of work
Who she called first, and why her husband's first call was to their financial planner
Why she refused to talk about new opportunities until she got her head right
Seven straight days on the phone with everyone in her network
How she chose what came next: what do I love, and what do I want to talk about every day?
Two years later, Melissa has rebuilt in wellness with Shaklee and co-founded the Clean Life Collective. This is how it started.
"Just because something ends, it's not the end."

Her Body Quit Before She Did
Last December I ended up on a floor in Fort Lee doing breath work with a woman I'd just met. This episode is that woman.
Veruschka del Rio was a full-time teacher having panic attacks in her classroom, calling out from the car because she couldn't finish the drive. Her body made the decision her mind kept postponing. She took a three-month leave, rented a $500 office on a street she'd walked down every day for ten years and never looked up at, and built Zentuary Healing Center.
We talk about what the nervous system is actually doing when everything feels like a threat, what breathwork does about it, and the part of manifesting nobody posts: she did the visualization, then she got up and walked out the door. Found the space in two hours. Signed the lease in two days.
The board was never the part that worked.
In this episode:
Why her body started refusing to drive to work before she'd admitted she was leaving
What a regulated nervous system actually buys you: capacity and room to make a decision
Breathwork and somatic alignment: where she tells people to start
The $500 office: visualization in the morning, signed lease two days later
Her three-part framework: get clear, feel it, then act
One choice a day, and why thirty choices beats a plan
About Veruschka:
Veruschka del Rio is a hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, somatic practitioner, and Level 2 Spinal Energetics facilitator. She's the founder of Zentuary Healing Center in Fort Lee, NJ, and the creator of The Zentuary Method, a nervous-system-led approach to healing.

Ego Screams, Intuition Whispers | Beyond the Vision Board with Rachel Pharn
Beyond the Vision Board is a four-part series on Unscripted 2.0. I love a vision board. But the board never did the work. So I asked four people what they actually did to build the life they wanted. Not the mindset. The action.
My first guest is Rachel Pharn, founder of Seeds of Asha. She has a clinical master's in psychology from Columbia, survived a terrorist attack in 2017, and built Conscious Executive Leadership, a program for executives that blends psychology and spirituality. I asked her the question this series runs on: when you work with someone, what's the first thing you have them do? Not believe. Do.
In this episode:
The first thing Rachel asks new clients for, and why some people can't answer it
Ego screams, intuition whispers, and why most of us are living like there's a lion in the room 24/7
The question I ask clients stuck on a decision: what does fear feel like in your body?
When a stranger saying hello registers as a threat
Why you only need to be one step ahead of someone to help them
What Rachel would tell someone who wants this but hasn't started
