Not waiting for clarity, permission, or perfect timing…but actively scripting the life you want and then aligning your actions to support it.Chelsea breaks down what it truly means to become the creative director of your own life…and why reinvention isn’t about wishing or manifesting alone, but about combining vision with disciplined, aligned action.Together, we explore how creativity, money mindset, and self-reliance intersect…especially for women building something meaningful without a traditional roadmap.Chelsea offers insights on:• Why scripting your future is a powerful first step to getting out of a setback • How writing your life “as if it’s already done” reshapes belief and behavior • Using creativity and tools like AI to expand vision and unlock new possibilities • Building digital income streams and treating online businesses as real assets • Why having an offer, an email list, and focused platforms matter more than perfection • The biggest mindset blocks that keep people stuck during reinvention • Why you don’t need to follow anyone else’s rules to succeed…you get to create your own • Habits that actually move the needle when building new wealth • Making room for fun, curiosity, and joy as part of sustainable success🔑 Key takeaways:You don’t need fancy tools to redesign your life…just clarity and commitmentScripting creates belief, belief fuels action, and action creates resultsWealth is built through skills, systems, and consistency…not noiseYou are allowed to design success in a way that fits your lifeFollowing what excites you often leads to opportunities you couldn’t plan💡 Quotes to remember:“You are on your own rescue mission.”“Scripting is designing a future timeline you’re willing to step into.”“If no one is doing what you want to do…you might be the one meant to create it.”“Chase what feels fun…that’s usually where the magic lives.”If you’re tired of waiting for the right moment…If you’re ready to stop consuming inspiration and start creating momentum…If you want to design a life that feels aligned, energizing, and truly yours…This episode will remind you that you already have more control than you think.Part 2 is where vision becomes action… and where you step fully into the role of creative director of your life.A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!

When pregnancy became the moment that forced her to take a hard look at her future, everything shifted.This episode isn’t about overnight success or a perfectly packaged glow-up. It’s about the slow, intentional work of shedding old habits, releasing shame around past versions of yourself, and building trust with yourself one choice at a time.Together, we explore how identity-based change creates lasting transformation…and why habits, mindset, and self-belief are the true foundation of growth.Chelsea shares insights on:• Why failure isn’t something to avoid…but something to learn from • How habit stacking creates momentum without overwhelm • Letting go of old versions of yourself with compassion, not criticism • The power of identity-based change versus relying on willpower alone • How small, consistent habits quietly reshape confidence and self-trust • Why honoring who you were is just as important as becoming who you’re meant to be🔑 Key takeaways:Reinvention happens through repetition, not perfectionHabits shape identity…and identity shapes outcomesSelf-trust is built by keeping small promises to yourselfFailure is a teacher, not a verdictGrowth begins when you stop shaming the past and start honoring it💡 Quotes to remember:“Failure isn’t a dead end…it’s a learning opportunity.”“You don’t need to hate who you were to become who you’re meant to be.”“Small habits, repeated consistently, change everything.”If you’re in a season of transition…If you’re quietly questioning whether the life you’re living still fits…If you know you’re meant for more but aren’t sure where to begin…This episode will remind you that reinvention doesn’t require a dramatic leap…just the courage to take the next honest step.Part 1 lays the foundation. Part 2 is where we step fully into self-reliance, wealth mindset, and becoming the creative director of your own life.A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!

The kind that isn’t about titles, accolades, or someday success…but about the daily choices that either close the gap between who we are and who we’re becoming…or quietly widen it.Together, we unpack what it means to live with intention now, informed by Josh’s work with high-performing leaders and my own lived experience walking alongside people at the very end of life, where unfinished business becomes painfully clear.He offers insights on:• Why legacy is not something you leave behind, but something you leave in others • The two biggest myths leaders believe about legacy…and why both are dangerous • What people truly regret at the end of life…and what they don’t • Why “good” and “great” can become enemies of what’s actually possible • How energy leaks reveal misalignment before burnout ever shows up • Why work-life balance is a myth…and what maximization really looks like • How your calendar tells the truth about your priorities • Simple practices like clarity breaks and gratitude that restore perspective and presence🔑 Key takeaways:Legacy is built daily, not someday Alignment matters more than achievement Energy is an early warning system for misalignment Presence creates more impact than performance alone Living intentionally now prevents regret later💡 Quotes to remember:“Legacy isn’t what you leave behind…it’s what you leave in people.”“Good and great are often the enemies of what’s actually possible.”“If there’s a gap between how you want to be remembered and how you’re living, the work is closing that gap.”If you’ve checked the boxes but still feel an internal tension you can’t quite name… If you want success that feels whole, not hollow… If you’re ready to stop postponing meaning and start living aligned now…This episode will meet you where you are…and call you forward.Part 2 is where legacy becomes present tense and alignment becomes a daily practice.A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1834646/open_sms">Send us a text</a>🎧 Episode 194: When Success Breaks You Open: Josh Kosnick on Identity, Faith, and Rebuilding from the Inside OutWhat happens when everything you’ve worked for disappears… and you’re forced to confront who you are without the title?In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Sonnie Linebarger sits down with leadership coach, speaker, and author Josh Kosnick to unpack the season that changed everything. After building and leading a multi-billion-dollar financial firm, Josh experienced an unexpected and painful exit that dismantled the identity he had built around achievement, ownership, and success.What followed was grief… a loss of identity… and ultimately, a deep internal reckoning that led to the creation of The Kairos Code and his transformational Five Bridges Framework.In this episode, Josh vulnerably shares:<ul><li>What it feels like to lose a business that once defined you</li><li>Why grief shows up after both “good” and “bad” exits</li><li>The identity he had to dismantle when success was stripped away</li><li>Why spirituality must come before performance</li><li>How misaligned success leads to burnout, broken relationships, and regret</li><li>Why most leaders skip the inner work and rush to external fixes</li><li>How faith, identity, and purpose form the foundation for sustainable leadership</li></ul>This conversation is for the leader who looks successful on paper but feels restless, tired, or disconnected inside. It’s for the achiever who senses there has to be more than grinding, producing, and providing… and is ready to rebuild from the inside out.✨ If you’ve ever tied your worth to your role… ✨ If you’ve experienced loss, transition, or identity confusion… ✨ If you’re craving success that doesn’t cost you your health, faith, or family…This episode will meet you right where you are.🎧 Part 2 dives deeper into the remaining bridges, relationships, environment, and legacy… so be sure to subscribe and stay tuned.A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!

After building and leading a multi-billion-dollar financial firm, Josh experienced an unexpected and painful exit that dismantled the identity he had built around achievement, ownership, and success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What followed was grief… a loss of identity… and ultimately, a deep internal reckoning that led to the creation of &lt;em&gt;The Kairos Code&lt;/em&gt; and his transformational &lt;b&gt;Five Bridges Framework&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Josh vulnerably shares:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What it feels like to lose a business that once defined you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why grief shows up after both “good” and “bad” exits&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The identity he had to dismantle when success was stripped away&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why spirituality must come &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; performance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How misaligned success leads to burnout, broken relationships, and regret&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Why most leaders skip the inner work and rush to external fixes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;How faith, identity, and purpose form the foundation for sustainable leadership&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This conversation is for the leader who looks successful on paper but feels restless, tired, or disconnected inside. It’s for the achiever who senses there has to be more than grinding, producing, and providing… and is ready to rebuild from the inside out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✨ &lt;b&gt;If you’ve ever tied your worth to your role…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; ✨ &lt;b&gt;If you’ve experienced loss, transition, or identity confusion…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; ✨ &lt;b&gt;If you’re craving success that doesn’t cost you your health, faith, or family…&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode will meet you right where you are.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🎧 &lt;b&gt;Part 2 dives deeper into the remaining bridges, relationships, environment, and legacy… so be sure to subscribe and stay tuned.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Check out my website: &lt;a href='http://www.evokegreatness.com'&gt;www.evokegreatness.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Follow me on:&lt;br/&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonnie-linebarger-899b9a52/'&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonnie-linebarger-899b9a52/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.instagram.com/evoke.greatness/'&gt;https://www.instagram.com/evoke.greatness/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@evoke.greatness'&gt;https://www.tiktok.com/@evoke.greatness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.youtube.com/@evokegreatness'&gt;http://www.youtube.com/@evokegreatness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
