The Daniel Gomez Inspires Show

"You've got to befriend your own self, because your adversary lives within, it's not just on the outside. So, if we want to see peace in the world, be the peace that you seek to see in the freaking world." —Janie Terrazas What if getting fired, divorced, or "losing everything" was actually your redirection, not your rejection? In this powerful episode, mindfulness coach and creator of PazMesa, Janie Terrazas, shares how she went from top-earning corporate telecom rep to LA TV host and actor, and eventually to a trauma-informed life and relationship coach helping people regulate their nervous systems, process grief, and return to inner peace. Janie doesn't speak from theory. She speaks from corporate burnout, industry darkness, divorce, spiritual awakening, and deep inner work. She breaks down how our unprocessed grief, unresolved trauma, and constant stress quietly run the show—until we finally decide to pause, go within, and heal. If you've ever felt like: • You're "successful on paper" but empty inside • A job loss, breakup, or betrayal wrecked your sense of worth • You're constantly performing, people-pleasing, and overachieving just to feel "enough", this conversation will shift how you see your story. In this episode, you'll learn: • How Janie walked away from a "cush," high-paying telecom career to follow a deeper calling • The surprising way corporate sales rejection prepared her for Hollywood and entrepreneurship • Why misogyny, microaggressions, and being underestimated became fuel for her growth • The real meaning of PazMesa ("peace within") and how it became her life's work • What mindfulness-based stress reduction actually looks like in everyday life • How trauma, grief, and nervous system dysregulation quietly shape our relationships • Why you can (and must) grieve things that didn't "die"—like careers, friendships, and versions of people • The difference between believing and knowing when it comes to faith and inner peace • How to start "powering up the peace within" when you feel lost, ashamed, or stuck Key themes: Mindfulness, grief, trauma, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, authenticity, and turning pain into purpose. If you're in a season of loss, transition, or questioning everything, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens—and remind you that what feels like an ending might actually be your beginning.

"You are important, you are valued, you are worthy. God created YOU with a specific plan and purpose for your life. And in order to get the best out of that, do the work, do what you need to do. Remember that you are a child of God, that you're forgiven." —Sue Fries If you're feeling weighed down by regret, shame, or the quiet ache of loneliness, you're not alone—and you don't have to carry it by yourself. Sometimes life's hardest moments leave us questioning our worth or wondering if things can really change. But there's hope, and it starts with a little kindness toward yourself and the courage to believe you're meant for more. Sue's story is a gentle reminder that healing is possible, even when the past feels heavy. She's walked through deep pain and self-doubt, yet found her way to purpose and peace by learning to forgive, speak gentle truths over her life, and open her heart to new beginnings. This episode dives into finding purpose, breaking free from shame, the power of forgiveness, and how your words can shape your future—plus honest advice for business, faith, and personal growth.

"Your voice matters. You matter. So by shining your light, by owning your worth, by using your voice, you actually give other people permission to do the same." —Cathy Reilly You've climbed the ladder, followed the rules, and built a life that looks successful on the outside— so why does it feel like something is missing on the inside? That quiet ache of unhappiness isn't a sign of failure; it's your inner self telling you that your ladder is leaning against the wrong wall. The friction you feel comes from the gap between who the world told you to be and who you truly are, and it's dimming the very light you're meant to share. Cathy Reilly is a communication expert and the CEO of Sharing the Shine LLC, where she helps leaders say what they really mean to get what they really want. Drawing from 25 years in high-conflict litigation and her own entrepreneurial journey of hitting a frustrating ceiling, she discovered that misalignment—not a lack of ambition—is the ultimate dream killer. Her transformation from a quiet introvert to a powerful communicator provides a brilliant, lived-in roadmap for anyone ready to trade external validation for unshakeable internal clarity. If you're done with being a well-behaved version of someone you're not, this conversation is your permission slip to shine. Listen in to discover why true success is simply alignment in action, how to use the "three brains" (your head, heart, and gut) to guide you, and a simple exercise to uncover the core values that will finally lead you home to yourself.
