Sharing Passion and Purpose

Episode 253

What happens when you take a love for wine and pair it with a much bigger purpose? Tyler and Kelly Mullman were my neighbors in Tulsa, and today they own Cana Ranch Wines, a nonprofit winery built around meaningful work for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

A friend asked Tyler what he knew about running a nonprofit or making wine. Not much. So he enrolled in the UC Davis online winemaking p...

Episode 252

Destiny Green is the executive director of the Williams Route 66 Marathon and the historic Tulsa Run, and her path there started in IT. Today she shares how she grew from the race founder's right hand into leading it all, and why this job lets her have a small part in helping people do things they never thought they could do. She has seen engagements at the finish line and has even married couples at the start line.

We ta...

Episode 251

Susan McMurray spent 30 years in a classroom pouring into other people. This past summer she made something of her own: Kindred & Bloom, a magazine-style devotional for women with contributor articles in the front and a five-week devotional in the back, built to be an excuse to gather.

We talk about the magazine she loved that stopped publishing, how the first issue's theme, Abide, came out of a class at her c...

Episode 250

What does it take to protect what matters most? Sara Gadd leads the Human Trafficking Education and Response Program at Ascension St. John in Tulsa and chairs the Oklahoma Coalition Against Human Trafficking, and her message is a hopeful one: knowledge reduces vulnerability, relationships matter more than rules, and everything we do makes a difference.

We talk about how a kid who volunteered in Southern California...

Episode 249

Shelby Gardner is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and mom of two spitfire daughters, and one of the most refreshingly honest guests I have had. A year ago she stepped away from a ministry position she loved because she felt God asking her to, expecting life to take off the very next week. It did not. We talk about what that brutal, transformative year has really looked like: watching her old community from the outside,...

Episode 248

Dr. Jessica Rimmer is the CEO of Solomon Strategic Advisors, an executive coach, a keynote speaker, and the author of The Purpose Formula: Learn to be Fully Alive. She is also the co-director of 4word OKC, the faith and work community for women in Oklahoma City that I have come to love, and where I get to speak on September 8.

We talk about purpose anxiety, that question so many of us carry around: why am I here, ...

Episode 247

Olivia Jordan is the first and only woman from Oklahoma ever crowned Miss USA, and she has built an acting career across NCIS, Hawaii Five-0, Dollface and a run of Lifetime leads. She is also one of the most honest guests I have had about what pursuing a dream actually looks like. She set out 15 years ago wanting to be a series regular on a TV show. That has not happened yet. She is still going, and she can tell you exac...

Episode 246

Friends, this one is special. Adrienne Kallweit is somebody I've looked up to for almost twenty years — she and her husband David built SeekingSitters into a national franchise, and when COVID put that business on life support, they went back to their construction roots and started over. Today their whole family works together in the Woodfire restaurant family — Nineteen0Eight, Palace Rooms, and Lollipops &md...

Episode 245

Money is one of the hardest things for women to talk about — and Tricia Daniel understands why better than most. She's an MBA and a third-generation financial professional with three decades in corporate finance, and she has still had to start over: after divorce (twice), after being laid off with no backup plan and two young sons, and most recently as a caregiver — just 35 days after her wedding, her husband...

Episode 244

This episode is extra special — Katie Ruley was one of my very first guests back when this podcast was audio-only, and now I get to sit across the table from her on video! Katie is the founder of EnLighten Enneagram, and in the five years since we last recorded, her coaching business has grown in ways neither of us could have predicted.

We talk about the "scary yes" that started it all, what makes the Enneag...

Join me in this conversation with author, educator, and Route 66 enthusiast Annette Murray — who started writing later in life, built her own publishing company from scratch, and has published four books in six years, including her newest, "Meet Cyrus Avery, Father of Route 66." We talk about starting before you feel ready, doing the work yourself (she wrote the stories, hired the illustrators, hired the editor), her self-pub...

How many times have you talked yourself out of an opportunity, downplayed your gifts, or waited until you felt more qualified, more confident, or more ready?

In this episode, I'm encouraging you to stop shrinking to make others comfortable and start embracing the gifts, passions, and experiences that make you uniquely you. The world doesn't need a smaller version of you it needs the impact that only you can make.

We'll explore why so...

After 25 years of teaching business courses at Tulsa Community College, I've had a front-row seat to thousands of students—some looking to complete a degree, some hoping to advance in their careers, and many carrying a dream of starting a business and creating a life with more freedom and purpose.

One thing I've learned is this: not everyone who dreams about entrepreneurship becomes an entrepreneur.

What if the key to feeling less overwhelmed, more productive, and more fulfilled isn't doing more—but scheduling differently?

For years, I filled my calendar the way many women do: saying yes to opportunities, trying to be available to everyone, and leaving little room to think, dream, or simply breathe. Eventually, I realized something had to change.

Your calendar reflects your priorities. The question is—does it reflect...
