What if the key to getting ahead isn’t doing more… but letting go?

In this episode, I’m joined by Ginny Priem, a keynote speaker, author, and creator of the Unsubscribe Framework. With over 20 years in corporate leadership, Ginny shares how burnout, overcommitment, and constant pressure led her to completely rethink how we approach success.

After a life-altering personal experience, Ginny rebuilt her life and career around a simple but powerful idea: what you stop doing matters just as much as what you do.

We talk about:

• Why high performers stay stuck in overwhelm
• The hidden cost of saying yes to everything
• How to create space without losing momentum
• The 4-part Unsubscribe Framework: Block, Mute, Swap, and Manage

This conversation is a reminder that letting go isn’t quitting… it’s choosing what actually matters.

So many plates. So little time. And that quiet question we don’t always say out loud: Is it too late to start something new?

In this episode, Kathi welcomes longtime friend and marketing expert Shonna Jordan for a wide-ranging conversation about business, networking, resilience, and reinvention. Shonna is the founder of the Good Old Gals networking group and the force behind Jordan & Jordan Consulting, where she helps business owners get clear, compelling, and confident in their messaging.

They talk about what makes networking actually work, why showing up once isn’t enough, and how consistency and follow-up make a bigger difference than people expect. Shonna also shares how her attention to detail and creative thinking shape everything she builds — even when it looks effortless from the outside.

The conversation goes deeper into real life, too. Shonna reflects on a season when multiple challenges hit at once, what helped her get through it, and how gratitude, support, and perspective played a role in her ability to keep moving forward.

This episode is for anyone who feels pulled in a dozen directions, wonders if they’ve missed their moment, or needs reassurance that it’s never too late to evolve — personally or professionally.

✨ Plus, Shonna is offering listeners a free 20-minute, no-cost, no-strings session (while it lasts).
