Today, I welcome back our very own Katharina Stuerzl to The Think Courageously Podcast. This is another installment in our “The End of an Era…Conversations with Members of the Think Courageously Community”.
Since our last recording, Kat has been on a major journey towards becoming the best version of herself. Kat has completed her certification as an iPEC coach. She is also an Amazon bestselling author, contributing a chapter in the collaborative book “Step Into Your Brave.”
Our conversation today focuses on pivoting towards alignment…or what we call the “Katvolution.”
In today’s conversation, we talk about how when you challenge yourself, you challenge the box that you’ve put yourself in. You lose the weight of expectations and show up in a place of choice. Kat shares the power of being brave enough to take responsibility for what we move towards. And, how our thoughts create our reality.
We also talk about:

Today, I welcome back Leanne Smith to The Think Courageously Podcast. This is another installment in our “The End of an Era…Conversations with Members of the Think Courageously Community.”
You may remember that Leanne was my accountability partner in the “Elevate Your Voice” storytelling project. She is a coach, storyteller and dear friend.
Since the launch of the book, Leanne’s story has evolved and blossomed. She is pivoting towards the most powerful version of herself.
Her story today starts with this…Hello my name is ___ and I am a failure.
In today’s show, we talk about what it takes to deny your inner critic and silence self doubt. For so long, Leanne was not able to show up as her authentic self. Her evolution is focused on how to dig deeper and claim her own personal happiness.
She takes us on a very personal journey of a divorce and bankruptcy. And the moment she realized how self-doubt was claiming her future. Leanne describes when she knew that she needed to claim back her own power. In that moment she gave herself permission to unleash her awesomeness.
“I was looking for failure and I needed to flip that switch.”
Now, today she can say…”Hello My Name is Awesome."
She shares some great insight into starting your day and planning for happiness.
Leanne Smith is a life and self-esteem specialist that teaches you a piece-by-piece approach to living the life of your dreams, so you can create happy and successful days by using vision planning.

Welcome to our first installment of what I’m calling “The End of An Era…Stories from The Think Good Community.”
Today, I welcome Vicki Grossman Capps. Vicki is trained as a therapist and is a licensed professional counselor, a licensed addiction counselor, a nationally certified therapist, an approved clinical supervisor and an EMDRIA certified trauma therapist. She has worked for nearly 19 years at a program within the District Attorney’s office that offers first time juvenile and adult offenders an alternative to formal court filing by going through a therapeutic counseling program and restorative justice process.
At the heart of this episode is the story of one woman’s journey of survivorship. Vicki shares how being swept off her feet as a young professional in New York City set the stage for a marriage that looked promising to her (in all of the bright shiny ways that we can all relate to) and almost more importantly, to others. She talks about the emotional blackmailing that happens in abusive relationships and the final words that put her in a place of action.
Vicki’s storytelling is powerful and courageous. She talks about trusting her gut. She also shares a very real internal questioning that happens with the brain of survivors…does my experience qualify as abuse? Was it “real”? And how this mindset contributes to not sharing our stories for fear of not being believed.
By sharing her story, Vicki hopes to shine a light on issues of domestic violence with others. She also hopes that she can model the way for her teenage daughters as she owns and steps into her own think courageously moment.
