    From Scholarship to Success: Veronica Caldwell’s Journey of Growth and Resilience
    2025/04/06

    Success isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about stepping up, even when doubt creeps in. Bayleigh and guest Veronica Caldwell dive deep into the mindset shifts that turn fear into fuel and setbacks into stepping stones. As a past recipient of the Small Changes Big Shifts scholarship program, Veronica shares how the support and resources she received helped her embrace discomfort and step into her potential. Her journey proves that growth comes from action, not just planning, and that confidence is built in the doing. The path to success isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about taking the next right step, no matter how uncertain it feels.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Fear doesn’t mean stop—it’s a signal that you’re stepping outside your comfort zone, where the biggest growth happens.

    • Clarity comes from taking action, not waiting for the perfect moment, so start where you are and trust that the next step will reveal itself.

    • Setbacks are not failures but lessons that build resilience, strengthen your mindset, and guide you toward something even greater.

    • Self-belief isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting yourself to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward no matter what.

    • True success comes from small, consistent actions over time, proving that steady progress is more powerful than a single big leap.

  • Things I Wish I Would've Known: The Hidden Impact of Breathing and Sleep with Dr. Nancy Addy

    Things I Wish I Would've Known: The Hidden Impact of Breathing and Sleep with Dr. Nancy Addy
    2025/03/09

    https://smallchangesbigshifts.com/things-i-wish-i-wouldve-known-the-hidden-impact-of-breathing-and-sleep-with-dr-nancy-addy-season-12-ep-516/What if the way you breathe, sleep, and hold tension in your body could be the key to unlocking better health and vitality? In this conversation, we sit down with Dr. Nancy Addy to explore the powerful connection between oral health, airway function, and overall well-being. She shares eye-opening insights on how small adjustments—like improving breathing patterns and posture—can lead to transformative changes in energy, sleep quality, and daily performance. This is a reminder that taking control of our health doesn’t have to be overwhelming—sometimes, the smallest shifts create the biggest impact.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Learning to breathe properly through your nose instead of your mouth can boost energy, improve focus, and even enhance sleep quality.

    • The way you hold your head and jaw can impact your breathing, muscle tension, and even your mood. Small adjustments can make a big difference.

    • Poor breathing habits during sleep can lead to fatigue and brain fog. Becoming aware of airway health can transform the way you rest and recharge.

    • Chronic jaw clenching or tightness often signals deeper stress or imbalances. Recognizing and addressing these signs can unlock relief and vitality.

    • Snoring in kids is not normal—it can be a sign of airway issues affecting their sleep, growth, and brain development. Identifying and addressing this early can lead to lifelong health benefits.

  • Things I Wish I Would Have Known: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Authenticity with Ginger Lee Bliss

    Things I Wish I Would Have Known: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Authenticity with Ginger Lee Bliss
    2025/03/02
    Sometimes, the hardest thing we’ll ever do is face our own reflection and embrace who we truly are. Ginger Bliss takes us on a powerful journey of self-compassion, transformation, and breaking the cycle of self-doubt. She opens up about confronting buried pain, shifting from self-loathing to self-love, and discovering that true freedom comes from facing what scares us most. Through her story, we’re reminded that pain is inevitable—but suffering in silence doesn’t have to be. With wisdom, courage, and a heart full of hope, Ginger shows us that when we stop pretending and start reflecting, we unlock the path to a more authentic, fulfilling life. Key Takeaways: Avoiding pain doesn’t make it disappear—it seeps into behaviors and relationships. Facing it head-on allows for healing and personal growth. Practicing self-compassion helps you embrace your worth, let go of perfectionism, and build deeper connections with others. Other people’s words and actions are a reflection of them, not you. Releasing self-blame can bring more peace and confidence. Small, intentional steps like journaling, listening to inspiring content, or following uplifting voices can lead to powerful mindset shifts. Growth may change your relationships, but by living authentically, you’ll attract the right people who support your journey. About Ginger Bliss: Ginger L.

She launched her book in 2024 at the BrainStorm Summit in Washington, D.C., where she spoke to grieving parents and physicians working to find a cure for terminal pediatric brain cancers DIPG and DMG. As the founder of GB Real Life & Leadership Strategies, Ginger provides tailored life and leadership coaching services that deliver strategic guidance and actionable plans with measurable outcomes. She works with adults of all ages, as well as emerging and executive leaders. Drawing on her deep and broad knowledge of human behavior, gained through years of professional experiences and personal healing, Ginger guides struggling humans and business leaders toward creating their own long-term fulfillment and success. Ginger's expertise extends to operational enhancements having spearheaded transformative projects such as facility expansions and greenfield development, joint ventures, partnerships and mergers, process optimization, and relationship management. She has also successfully overseen multimillion-dollar budgets, and streamlined a variety of individual and organizational processes, consistently improving efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings. Throughout her career, Ginger has held executive leadership roles, including Chief Operating Officer at Midwest Aortic & Vascular Institute, Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development at Carondelet Health, and Vice President of Marketing, Planning, and Business Development at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, among others. Her leadership in these organizations led to significant operational improvements, increased market share, and enhanced organizational performance. She maintains relationships with colleagues and vendors from every organization throughout her distinguished career because her primary concern and investment has always been with the people who cross her path.
