Come and listen to our Host, Candace Gish, as she chats with today's guest, Dana Grant.

Dana Grant is an International Master Life and Business Coach, host of global retreats, keynote speaker, and co-founder of Cali’Flour Foods. Having been named Chico’s Entrepreneur of 2017 & 2018, Dana Grant also went on to be a 2019 Panelist of the GrowTech Fest. In 2018, she expanded her work across the globe hosting masterclasses in Paris and Amsterdam, and continues to hold intimate, life-changing retreats in Italy. She is a co-founder of the Women's Success Summit and a proud Mentor for the Chicostart and CSU Trusted Peer Mentor programs.

Her work now is expanded in helping people discover the power of using their intuition to make life-changing decisions in their day-to-day lives. From her triumphant defeat of her debilitating illness to setting unbreakable corporate sales records, she is now on a soul quest to see everyone reach their full potential. She has been seen in Forbes, New York Today, Microsoft, Medium, Miami Post, and more!

Dana Grant joins Divas that Care to share her extraordinary journey from federal lobbyist to international intuitive life coach. With refreshing candor, she reveals how life's unexpected turns—including co-founding the first cauliflower pizza crust company and weathering personal crises—shaped her mission to help others transform through heart-centered approaches.

The conversation delves into Dana's decision to launch her podcast, The Dana Grant Show, which quickly rose to the top 2% despite being just one year old. Unlike many success-focused shows, Dana's podcast intentionally explores the shadows behind achievement, creating space for guests to share their deepest struggles and most meaningful transformations. "I want to pull the curtain back and say this is where they were and this is what they're doing now," she explains, emphasizing how these authentic stories demonstrate that profound change is possible for everyone.

Dana's upcoming book, "The Truth Within the Lie," releasing August 21st, combines personal vulnerability with practical wisdom. Through sharing fourteen universal laws alongside her own life challenges—including betrayal and rebuilding from scratch—she offers readers concrete tools for transformation. The book emphasizes that true change requires quieting the ego so the soul can expand, loving every version of yourself without judgment, and reassessing where your energy flows. Her simple yet powerful question—"Does this feel like love?"—has transformed her approach to everything from health decisions to business choices.

What resonates most powerfully throughout our conversation is Dana's insight about commitment versus consistency. "Most women do not have a consistency problem. They have a commitment problem. They're consistent to the wrong commitment," she observes. This perspective invites a deeper examination of where we invest our energy and whether our dominant thoughts align with our desired outcomes. As Dana reminds us, we'll never rise above our internal worthiness level—making self-work the foundation for any lasting change. Join us for this soul-stirring conversation about vulnerability, transformation, and the power of women supporting women.

Come and listen to our Host, Candace Gish, as she chats with today's guest, Liz Hansen, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.

Liz Hansen is the owner and photographer at Chicago Boudoir Photography, a boutique studio that empowers women to feel confident in their bodies, relationships and lives. Liz opened her commercial studio in 2018 and has since photographed more than 2,000 women. She has been featured on the TEDx stage, on National Public Radio and with the Association of International Boudoir Photographers. Liz holds a BA in Art and an MA in Education. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband and two teenage daughters.

Discover the transformative power of self-love through the lens of boudoir photography with Liz Hansen of Chicago Boudoir Photography Studio. What began as a personal gift for her husband evolved into a mission to help women see themselves differently—stronger, more beautiful, and worthy of celebration exactly as they are.

Liz reveals how women from all walks of life step into her studio for vastly different reasons. Some celebrate joyful milestones like weddings or birthdays, while others seek to reclaim their confidence after divorce, leaving abusive relationships, or facing health crises like breast cancer. Whatever brings them in, the transformation goes far beyond beautiful photos. "Every woman deserves to be celebrated at every point along her journey," Liz explains, dismantling the myth that you need to look a certain way to deserve this experience. Her powerful mantra—"Sexy is not a size, sexy is a vibe"—challenges the damaging narratives many women carry about their bodies.

The conversation shifts to valuable business wisdom as Liz shares how specializing exclusively in boudoir photography, rather than trying to be everything to everyone, allowed her to perfect her craft and create truly exceptional experiences. For aspiring entrepreneurs, her advice cuts through perfectionism paralysis: "Start before you feel ready...trying to do things perfectly is the enemy of trying to get things done." This refreshing approach reminds us that progress beats perfection every time.

At its heart, this episode illuminates how self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. As women, we're often conditioned to put everyone else first, depleting ourselves in the process. Through boudoir photography, Liz offers a radical act of self-nurturing that ripples outward: "If we have love for ourselves and confidence for ourselves, if we're comfortable in our own skin, then that's when we can go out and serve others and bring love out into the world." Ready to see yourself through new eyes? Listen now and reimagine what's possible when you embrace your authentic beauty.

Come and listen to our Host, Candace Gish, as she chats with today's guest, Adriana Barnhardt, for our "Boss Babe Summer: Leveling Up in Life & Career" Podcast Series.
Mix motivation, business tips, and interviews with female entrepreneurs on how to use summer energy to plan ahead, reflect, or pivot.

Born a first-generation American in Miami to two Salvadoran parents, Adri’s intuition and people skills were evident from the very beginning. Her parents used to joke that you could drop her off in the middle of nowhere and she’d make her way home by nightfall — with new friends. She was only a toddler when they said that. Deeply empathetic and full of feeling, Adri found solace in musical theatre. Singing her way through daily life drove her family a little crazy — until they realized it actually sounded good. She went on to earn her BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University and moved to New York City, determined to make her dream a reality.

And she did — landing her dream role as Sophie in Mamma Mia. She packed her bags and flew to Utah to live out what she thought would be the most exciting chapter of her life. But something was off. Behind the smiles and curtain calls, she was silently unraveling — battling anxiety, panic attacks on stage, and sleepless nights. That’s when the question hit her: “Are we really supposed to be miserable for the rest of our lives?” That question didn’t just change her — it rerouted her. What followed was a long, soul led return to herself. And from that return, lovinglyadri was born.

Discover the transformative power of astrological life coaching with Adriana Barnhart, founder of Lovingly Adri and creator of the ILYSM (Intuitively Love Yourself Mentality) method. After a serendipitous encounter at a dog park introduced her to life coaching while she was researching astrology, Adriana found her calling—combining these powerful modalities to help women transform self-tolerance into intuitive self-love.

Adriana breaks down how your birth chart works like your "iPhone default factory settings," revealing your baseline tendencies and potentials. The planets represent different aspects of your psyche—your sun sign reflects identity development, Mercury governs communication skills, and Venus relates to emotional regulation. Through her ILYSM program, clients receive a comprehensive birth chart analysis with a 10-20 page personalized study guide, followed by clarifying Q&A sessions, yearly progression readings, and practical "Now What" coaching conversations that transform awareness into action.

What makes Adriana's work particularly revolutionary is her commitment to democratizing astrological wisdom. As she points out, "millionaires have therapists, billionaires have astrologers," reflecting how historically, these cosmic insights were reserved for royalty and the elite. Today, through her accessible services and free resources on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube (@LovinglyAdri), she's making this ancient wisdom available to everyone. Whether you're seeking greater self-understanding, navigating career transitions, or looking to unleash your full potential as a boss babe, Adriana's approach offers a unique blend of cosmic insight and practical guidance.
