What if the biggest obstacle to peace isn't what's happening around you?but what's happening inside your own mind?

 

In this episode of Sunday SoulDay?, I sit down with author, blogger, and software engineer Brian Sachetta, whose personal journey through anxiety and depression inspired his bestselling book, Get Out of Your Head.

 

Drawing from both his background in computer science and his own lived experience, Brian shares practical strategies for breaking the cycle of overthinking, calming an anxious mind, and building a life rooted in greater peace and purpose.

In this episode, we explore:

? Brian's journey from anxiety and depression to purpose-driven work

? How overthinking keeps us stuck?and practical ways to interrupt the cycle

?? Two simple strategies anyone can begin practicing today to reduce anxiety

? The mindset shifts that helped Brian heal and reclaim his life

? What it really means to build a lifestyle of calm instead of constantly managing stress

? A message of hope for anyone navigating anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm

What happens when you walk away from conventional success?and step into sovereignty?

 

In this powerful episode of Sunday SoulDay, we sit down with Graham Skidmore, former Rocket Mortgage executive turned entrepreneur, educator, and systems thinker, to explore the deeper truth behind burnout, identity, and reclaiming personal power.

 

After two decades helping scale one of corporate America?s most influential client acquisition engines, Graham experienced what many would call burnout?but what he now recognizes as a profound spiritual initiation.

 

That moment didn?t break him.

It redirected him.

 

Today, Graham is building systems that honor the soul, restore agency, and integrate ethical AI to support human potential?not replace it.

 

? In this episode, we explore:

The hidden truth behind burnout?and why it?s often a turning point

Why ?the systems are broken, not the people?

How fear, trauma, and conditioning shape our lives?and how to transform them

Reclaiming personal sovereignty in a world of one-size-fits-all systems

The role of ethical AI in supporting human intelligence and evolution

What it means to live in alignment with your authentic self

 

? About Graham?s Work

Graham is the founder of:

 

EnGen ? a nonprofit incubating healing, education, and decentralized community

SATH Solutions ? building ethical, soul-aligned AI infrastructure

Harmony Health ? helping individuals reconnect with their potential through education, tools, and practitioner support

 

He is also the creator of I Didn?t Come With an Owner?s Manual, a multi-part YouTube teaching series and forthcoming book that explores how personal growth, healing, and self-awareness are deeply connected to how we understand ourselves?and the systems we live within.

 

? Why this conversation matters

 

This episode challenges the idea that something is ?wrong? with you.

 

Instead, it offers a new perspective:

 

? What if your struggles are not failures?but signals?

? What if your path isn?t broken?but misaligned?

? What if your power was never lost?just buried?

 

? Who this is for

Leaders navigating burnout or identity shifts

Founders and creators questioning conventional success

Anyone seeking deeper alignment, healing, and purpose

Those curious about the intersection of consciousness, systems, and AI

I?m joined by LauraAura, keynote speaker, coach, and host of The Gutsy Podcast, who quit her full-time job at 6½ months pregnant to launch her first business. That was just the beginning of her Gutsy moves.

 

For years, she fought to keep her branding studio alive? until she realized the business she built had started owning her. Exhausted. Anxious. Cash-poor. Resentful. Something had to change.

 

In this conversation, LauraAura shares what happened when she got brutally honest with herself and stopped building her life around ?shoulds.? We talk about identity, burnout, clarity, and what it really means to build a brand that feels aligned instead of performative.

What does it really mean to win? If you love track and field, you have heard of my next guest...

 

In this powerful episode of Sunday SoulDay in our season 4 opener, I sit down with Olympic gold medalist, author, and elite performance coach Marion Jones for an honest, grounded conversation about discipline, resilience, accountability, and rising after setbacks.

Marion made history as the first woman to win five medals at a single Olympic Games?and she also walked through one of the most public reckonings in sports history. Today, she?s redefining success through discipline, consistency, and aligned performance across fitness, business, and life.

 

In this episode, we explore:

? How Marion?s definition of winning has evolved over time

? Why discipline matters more than motivation in every area of life

? The inseparable connection between mind, body, and daily habits

? What inspired the launch of MJEP (Marion Jones Elite Performance)

? How to stay consistent when motivation fades

? The intention behind her new MJEP merch line

? What it really takes to rise after personal or professional setbacks

? How Marion stays spiritually and emotionally fueled as a mother, entrepreneur, and elite performance coach.

 

This conversation is for anyone navigating pressure, rebuilding after failure, or seeking sustainable performance rooted in truth?not image.

If you?re ready to redefine success, build real discipline, and rise with integrity and purpose, this episode is for you. Tune in this Sunday afternoon for this incredible conversation with someone I have admired for years, Marion Jones!

 

About Marion

Marion is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. She made history as the first woman to win five medals at a single Olympic Games, earning three gold and two bronze medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics. A standout at the University of North Carolina, she helped lead the Tar Heels to an NCAA Championship and became a global icon, appearing on the covers of Time, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated, with partnerships from brands like Nike, Gatorade, and Got Milk.

In 2007, she faced one of the most defining chapters of her life?taking full responsibility, returning her medals, and serving a 6-month prison sentence. What followed was not retreat, but transformation. Just four months after giving birth to her third child, Marion returned to professional sports in the WNBA and began a new chapter rooted in discipline, truth, and growth.

Today, Marion is a speaker, entrepreneur, elite performance coach, and founder of MJEP?Marion Jones Elite Performance. Through her app, training programs, and merchandise, she helps people build consistency, resilience, and strength?physically and mentally. Above all, she?s a devoted mother and a living example of what it means to rise after a fall and redefine what winning truly means.

Art as Resistance & Healing | What happens when art becomes a voice for what was once silenced?

In this deeply moving episode of Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with internationally renowned artist Anne Plaisance, whose work transforms trauma into testimony and pain into powerful acts of resistance and healing.

With over 100 exhibitions worldwide and projects spanning painting, installation, photography, and mixed media, Anne?s art confronts some of the most difficult truths of our time?domestic violence, abuse, survival, and the reclaiming of voice?while anchoring them in hope, resilience, and transformation.

We explore her groundbreaking exhibition Wonder Women Now, her globally recognized series The Perfumes, and how art can make the invisible visible?especially for survivors navigating their own healing journeys.

 

In this conversation, we discuss:

? How art becomes a pathway to healing and liberation

? Turning silence into voice and trauma into truth

In a world where over 49% of American adults report significant daily stress, Dr. Gary Sprouse is offering something radical: Finding Your Happy Place and, more importantly, tools to reduce stress.

 

This Sunday SoulDay episode features Dr. Gary Sprouse, a retired physician turned author, speaker, and mindset specialist known as The Less Stress Doc. After four decades of treating thousands of patients, he uncovered a powerful truth:

 

? Most human stress isn?t caused by what?s wrong with us ? it?s a side effect of what?s right with us - our changing environments.

Our ability to envision the future becomes worry.

Our empathy becomes guilt.

Our memory becomes regret.

Our intelligence becomes overwhelm

 

In this episode, Dr. Sprouse shares how stress nearly consumed his own life, what he calls his ?55-gallon drum of stress,? and how retirement actually opened the door to continue his life?s purpose in a new way: helping people break stress loops and return to their ?Happy Place.?

 

This conversation is for you if you are?

?? Feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin

?? Caught in a loop of worry, guilt, or perfectionism

?? Wanting more peace, clarity, or emotional balance

?? Curious about the science of stress, mindset, and healing

?? Ready to move toward your own ?Happy Place?

What happens when a World Series?winning coach trades the mound for the mind and emotions?

In this episode of Sunday SoulDay, I sit down with Douglas White, former pitching coach and director of pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, and assistant pitching coach for the Houston Astros. Over his 17-year career across four MLB organizations, Doug guided pitching development, led infrastructure change, and helped teams win four championships in six years ? including two World Series titles.

Now, Doug has taken his expertise from the field into the world of personal development and emotional well-being. His mission? Helping people harness the power of their emotions to deliberately create their lives.

#SportsPsychology #EmotionalIntelligence #LifeAfterSports #LeadershipLessons

 

We explore:

? Doug?s transition from professional baseball to coaching life?s inner game

? The leadership lessons he learned under pressure with the Astros and Angels

? How emotions became his secret coaching edge ? and how he teaches others to use them today

? The highs, lows, and pivotal moments that shaped his journey

? His perspective on what it means to lead and thrive through life?s transitions

 

? Whether you?re navigating a career pivot, leading under pressure, or learning to trust your own inner guidance, Doug?s story proves that the game isn?t just physical ? it?s deeply emotional.

What do you do when your dream life disappears overnight?

Olympian Garrett Scantling knows that feeling all too well.

After placing 4th in the decathlon at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Garrett was poised for greatness. Sponsors. Recognition. Global stage.

Then came the silence.

A suspension.

Two deleted Instagram accounts.

No sponsors.

And a choice: disappear quietly or rise again.

 

In this week?s episode of Sunday SoulDay, Garrett gets real about what it means to rebuild your identity when everything you thought defined you gets stripped away. No fluff. Just truth, grit, and that unshakable spirit that says, I?m still here.

 

The road to the Olympics isn?t always gold-plated. Sometimes it?s lonely, uncertain, and full of lessons that don't show up on highlight reels.

?

We talk:

Life after Olympic glory

Training in the dark?mentally, emotionally, and physically

Coaching high schoolers by day, chasing a comeback by night

Why purpose?not popularity?keeps him going

And how YOU can grow even when no one?s watching

 

About Garrett

Garrett Scantling is an American Decathlete, Olympian, 4-time U.S. Champion, 6-time All American, and 4-time SEC Champion who holds the 9th highest Decathlon score in world history. A Jacksonville native, Garrett made his mark on the track at the University of Georgia and later placed 4th at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. After facing a suspension and a series of personal and professional hurdles, he?s now coaching multiple sports at a local high school while making a bold return to elite competition?setting his sights on the 2025 World Championships and the 2028 Olympics.

??? Episode Title: John Graham: A Life of Adventure, Service & Leadership

What happens when a former U.S. diplomat, mountaineer, and changemaker realizes that the greatest risk isn?t external?but internal?

In this soul-stirring episode, we sit down with John Graham, a man whose life reads like an epic novel. From scaling Denali?s treacherous north wall to navigating the high-stakes world of diplomacy in Vietnam, Libya, and South Africa, John?s journey has been anything but ordinary.

But it?s not the danger or accolades that define him?it?s the pivot to purpose.

John shares how he shifted from climbing literal mountains to climbing toward meaning. We talk about the moment he realized that true courage lies in choosing peace, service, and legacy over ego and fear. He opens up about his transformation from Washington insider to global activist, and how that evolution birthed the Giraffe Heroes Project?a movement celebrating those who ?stick their necks out? for the greater good.

You?ll hear powerful stories of unsung heroes, reflections on what it means to live with purpose, and how he continues to inspire younger generations?even as the ?Badass Granddad? on TikTok.

 

? We explore:

?What diplomacy taught him about courage and character

?How to find the meaning of your life?and why it matters

?Why serving others is the path to deep self-discovery

?The legacy he hopes to leave behind

?And how you can make your one wild and precious life count

?If you?ve ever asked yourself, ?Is this all there is?? or ?How can I live more boldly and meaningfully???this conversation is for you.

Press play and get ready to be moved, inspired, and reconnected with your deeper why.

 

About John

John Graham?s career spans diplomacy, daring exploration, and a deep commitment to social change. A former U.S. diplomat for 15 years, he played key roles in revolutionary Libya, Vietnam, NATO, the U.S. Mission to the UN, and served as a foreign policy advisor to Senator John Glenn. Beyond diplomacy, he?s an accomplished mountaineer, achieving the first (and still unrepeated) ascent of Denali?s treacherous north wall.

Since 1983, John has been a driving force behind the Giraffe Heroes Project, an initiative that honors those who ?stick their necks out? for the greater good. A Harvard and Stanford graduate, he is also the author of several books, including Outdoor Leadership, It?s Up to Us, Stick Your Neck Out, and Quest. His work continues to inspire courageous leadership and service worldwide.
