"If every addict out there could channel their energy into something positive, they could be amazing." - Celia Anzalone Bowers
In this episode, Celia Anzalone Bowers, Mrs. Italy World 2024, author, and mortgage lender, joins host Catryn Becker to discuss her journey from trauma to transformation. Celia’s story is one of profound resilience, having overcome addiction and inner turmoil to emerge as an empowered, influential figure. Initially entering pageantry as a form of validation, Celia found that it revealed hidden layers of herself, helping her confront deep-seated insecurities and feelings of unworthiness. Through dedication to self-healing, Celia learned to embrace her vulnerabilities and rewrite her life story, ultimately finding strength in her scars.
Celia also introduces her latest book, You Are a Queen: Transform Your Pain into Power, which reflects her mission to help others channel their past pain into a source of empowerment. The episode delves into how societal pressures, like those seen in pageantry, often mask deeper struggles. By reconnecting with her faith and using tools like cognitive reframing, she shifted her perception of past challenges, transforming them into building blocks for a resilient future. Her story speaks to anyone facing inner battles, reminding us that true strength comes from within and that our worth is far more than skin-deep.

Is fear of failure holding you back? Fear, fatigue, frustration, and isolation often keep us from moving forward. Join us as we unpack these four barriers to success with LynAnn Weaver, who shares strategies to break free from self-doubt, embrace resilience, and find the power in persistence.
“When we believe that we’re limitless, failures become temporary setbacks, not permanent endings.” - LynAnn Weaver
In this episode, host Catryn Becker speaks with LynAnn Weaver, founder and CEO of Healthcare Elevation Partners, about the powerful role of failure in achieving success. LynAnn shares her journey from healthcare administration to launching her own company, revealing how observing high performers and those struggling within her team inspired her to explore resilience and failure. By developing her own framework for overcoming setbacks, LynAnn discovered that embracing failure isn’t a mark of weakness but a foundation for growth and thriving.
Together, Catryn and LynAnn unpack the “Four Causes of Failure” — fear, fatigue, frustration, and feeling alone. These common barriers prevent high achievers from reaching their full potential and can spiral into self-doubt. LynAnn discusses how to reshape failure as a “First Attempt In Learning,” turning negative experiences into valuable insights. This conversation sheds light on the resilience necessary for high performance and offers practical tools to help listeners redefine failure, foster self-worth, and cultivate a mindset of continuous improvement.

Hear how I wrestled with imposter syndrome during a high-stakes interview and the lessons I’ve learned. Sometimes, growth means releasing the pressure to be someone you’re not.
"I realized that in trying to be smart and impressive, I was losing the authenticity that makes me who I am." - Catryn Becker
"Most people don’t get a coach until after they fail, but by then the damage is done. Success isn’t just about persistence; it’s about learning when to listen and adapt." - JT Foxx

This father-son duo shares stories of grit, determination, and the power of resilience. Listen in for powerful life lessons that prove no challenge is too big to overcome.
"Life knocks you down, but you get back up, and that’s what makes you stronger." – Kenneth Hill Sr.
"No matter how many people are against you, you stand your ground for what you believe in." – Kenneth Hill Jr.
In this powerful episode, host Catryn Becker chats with Kenneth Hill Sr., a seasoned Hollywood stuntman, and his son Kenneth Jr., a martial arts master who defied a debilitating medical diagnosis.

Despite the physical risks, he continued to chase his passion and remained undeterred by naysayers.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Jr.'s story of resilience centers on his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary neuropathy that doctors warned would leave him in a wheelchair by age 35. Ignoring these grim predictions, Kenneth Jr. pursued his love for martial arts, earning five black belts and proving that with determination, anything is possible. Through martial arts, he learned not only discipline but also the importance of humor, self-acceptance, and celebrating the journey rather than just the destination.

Are you leveraging your most unique asset in sales and leadership? Your story is the one thing your competitors can’t copy. Join us as we explore how to use storytelling to connect deeply with clients and stand out in business. You’ll never look at public speaking the same way again.
"Your competitor can’t tell your story—and that’s your biggest advantage." - Michael Davis
In this episode of "The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Business," host Catryn Becker is joined by storytelling expert Michael Davis, founder of Speaking CPR. They explore the profound impact of storytelling in sales, leadership, and public speaking. Michael explains how storytelling allows individuals to connect authentically with their audience, highlighting that personal stories—especially those born out of mistakes or failures—are powerful tools that competitors cannot replicate. He shares insights into why many people fear public speaking, explaining that the real fear is often tied to potential humiliation rather than the act of speaking itself.
Throughout the conversation, Michael emphasizes the importance of embracing authenticity in communication. Rather than striving for perfection, he encourages individuals to lean into their unique experiences, even those that might not seem noteworthy. By sharing genuine stories that convey lessons learned, professionals can foster deeper connections with clients, teams, and audiences. The episode wraps up with practical advice on how to overcome fear and trust in the power of one’s own narrative to drive business success.

Do you ever feel like you're at war with your own thoughts? What if the boundaries between conscious, subconscious, and unconscious aren't as defined as we think? Could understanding the true relationship between these aspects of our mind unlock a new level of personal freedom and effectiveness? Join host Catryn Becker on "The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Business" as we dive deep into the intricacies of the human brain with Morry Zelcovitch.
"You are supposed to be happy. The evidence of that is that happiness feels good. Unhappy is telling you you're doing and or thinking the wrong thing for you. So listen to the signals and follow your feelings." - Morry Zelcovitch
In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking insights of Morry Zelcovitch, the world’s first and only brainwave entrainment engineer. Morry shares his expert knowledge on how our brains function not as compartmentalized units but as a cohesive system, seamlessly integrating conscious and unconscious processes. Through his unique approach, he challenges the traditional psychological models that divide the mind, suggesting instead that our mental states are more interconnected than previously believed.
Morry explains how misinterpretations of our brain's operations can lead to ineffective self-help strategies and personal development efforts. By reimagining these concepts, listeners can begin to harness the power of their entire brain, leading to more profound self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. This episode not only demystifies common myths about brain usage but also provides practical advice on how listeners can apply these insights to improve their daily lives. Whether you're struggling with personal limitations or seeking ways to optimize your mental health, Morry’s insights offer valuable guidance for realigning your thoughts and actions to achieve greater harmony and success.
