Season 2 is officially underway, and we’re kicking things off with a powerhouse conversation that blends leadership, self-care, and a little soul-searching along the way.

In this episode, Donna and Steven welcome Nicole Shaver, aformer corporate finance executive who traded spreadsheets and boardrooms for entrepreneurship and business coaching. Together, we unpack what happens when success looks great on paper but feels… off in real life.

This is not your typical “career pivot” story. It’s a real, honest, and sometimes humorous look at:

• 💼 Life inside high-pressure corporate leadership
• 🔄 The internal shifts required to move from burnout to alignment
• 🧠 Why optimizing the leader matters just as much as optimizing the business
• 🌿 How boundaries, rest, and wellness become strategic tools, not indulgences

The conversation flows like a fireside chat for high performers who are tired of grinding and ready to build success that actually lasts. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing all the right things… so why am I exhausted?”—this episode is for you.
