| 4/30/26 |  Human-First Leadership, Inner Clarity & the Power of Knowing Yourself | Monika Becker | In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, I sit down with Monika Becker, founder of Clear Directions Consulting, leadership coach, consultant, and Dalian Method facilitator, to explore human-first leadership, inner clarity, self-awareness and the courage to lead as a whole human being.Monika works with mid to senior-level executives and leaders who are seeking greater clarity in their leadership, communication, team dynamics and personal growth. Her work helps leaders reconnect with who they truly are so they can show up with more presence, confidence, humility, and authenticity in their workplaces.We talk about the importance of slowing down, listening inward, owning our needs and gifts, and bringing more humanity into leadership. Monika also shares her personal journey from Germany to Canada, from employee to entrepreneur, and how the Dalian Method helped her move through a powerful identity crisis and reconnect with her own inner clarity.We also explore Monika’s love of nature, her concept of “good selfishness,” the power of personal brand photography and the legacy she hopes to leave through her work.This conversation is a beautiful reminder that meaningful change often begins with self-awareness, self-responsibility and the courage to know yourself more deeply.Enjoy the show!Learn more about Monika:https://cleardirections.caMonika's Spring Promotion:Monika's Spring Promotion:https://cleardirections.ca/hello/ Learn more about Linda Mackie Creative:https://www.lindamackie.caLearn more about The Eloquent Entrepreneur and watch more insightful episodes:https://www.eloquententrepreneur.ca | — | |
| 3/13/26 |  Financial Literacy, Menopause, and the Money Conversation Women Deserve to Have with Joyce Ingram | What if the reason you feel stuck financially isn't a lack of effort ... it's a lack of information?

Joyce works with growth-focused career women who are navigating financial stress, confusion, or shame around money — and her mission is simple: no family left behind.TAKEAWAYS-Financial stress in women is almost always rooted in a lack of education, not a lack of effort.-It is never too late to learn how money works.-Menopause carries real, often unexpected financial costs most women aren't prepared for.-Staying in the dark about finances — especially in a relationship — leaves women vulnerable.-A non-judgmental space to ask questions changes everything.-Understanding where you are today is the only way to plan where you're going.-Both partners in any relationship need to understand how money works.-About $4 trillion in generational wealth will transfer to women in Canada in the coming years.-The first step for anyone feeling overwhelmed is simply saying yes to learning.-Working with someone you genuinely trust makes all the difference.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Guest Credibility01:07 Joyce Ingram's Work with Women on Financial Security02:20 Focus on Education and Collaboration02:58 Stress and Shame Around Money for Women03:49 Making a Difference Through Financial Literacy05:39 Money and Menopause Workshop Overview07:07 Financial Challenges During Menopause09:17 Feedback and Future Workshops10:38 Emotional Aspects of Money and Women's Relationship with Wealth12:22 The Power of Financial Education in Women's Lives14:44 Joyce's Personal Journey to Financial Advisor15:57 Empowering Women to Take Control of Finances16:59 Breaking the Silence and Building Confidence18:27 Discovering the Gaps in Financial Knowledge19:54 Target Audience for Financial Licensing21:39 Branding and Authenticity in Business23:38 Impact of Professional Photos on Confidence25:11 Vision for the Next Five Years26:07 Building a Team of Like-Minded Leaders28:35 Client Consultations and Financial Planning31:26 Overcoming Overwhelm and Building Confidence34:22 Upcoming Workshops and Community Engagement36:37 Creating Safe Spaces for Learning38:03 First Steps for Women Feeling Overwhelmed39:07 Legacy and Impact on Future Generations40:49 The Importance of Financial Literacy in Schools41:54 Closing Remarks and GratitudeLINKSPodcast website: http://www.eloquententrepreneur.caJoyce Ingram / Evolution Financial:Website: https://agents.wfgcanada.ca/joyce-ingramInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyce_ingram_bc/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/joyceingram-financialservicesCREDITSGuest: Joyce Ingram, Financial Educator and Advisor, World Financial Group — Evolution FinancialHost: Linda Mackie | Photographer, Creative Producer + Intuitive Guide for Modern EntrepreneursWebsite: https://www.lindamackie.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindamackiecreative/Production: KeenliiWebsite: https://www.keenlii.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenliico/Producer: Barry KeeganLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrykeegan/SUBSCRIBE AND SUPPORTIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.

Burton to talk about intuition, second callings, and what it looks like to trust what’s guiding you through life’s hardest moments.Wendy shares the $5 gas-station story that changed everything, plus a simple way to “meet” your angel and ask for a sign (yes, there’s an Amazon comparison).

| 12/5/25 |  Financial Flight Plans & Everyday Change Makers | Mike Reilly | "Money is never really about money; it’s about emotion, security and freedom." ~ Mike Reilly In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, I sit down with Mike Reilly, financial advisor, founder of Gaining Altitude Financial and a committed community builder.We discuss why so many of us feel like we’re flying through turbulence when it comes to our finances, and how a clear "Financial Flight Plan" can help you reach your destination ahead of schedule . Mike opens up about how his early experiences with money shaped his approach today , why financial literacy matters more than ever, and the powerful lesson that action leads to motivation, not the other way around. We also dive into our shared passion project—bringing an outdoor pool to Victoria’s West Shore—as proof that meaningful change often starts with just one small question .Key Takeaways:The First Step: Everyday change makers can create meaningful impact just by taking it one step at a time.Financial Literacy: Why understanding your money is crucial for both personal freedom and community growth.The Advice Gap: A staggering 80% of Canadians do not receive professional financial advice—and why that needs to change.Life-First Planning: True financial planning should focus on life goals and "destination," not just investment returns . Risk Perception: How women often have a more realistic view of financial risks.The New Generation: Why the financial industry needs more young professionals to help people build wealth early.Wealth Transfer: The importance of careful planning to avoid tax inefficiencies.Community Ripple Effect: How getting involved in local projects like Rotary can enhance personal and professional life.Action Over Motivation: Why waiting to feel "motivated" is a trap—action is what generates the momentum you need.Successful Entrepreneurs: Why achieving the "impossible" requires doing what others are unwilling to do.Chapters:00:00 Empowering Everyday Changemakers 01:20 What Mike Does Today 04:30 Why Financial Conversations Matter 06:58 The Path to Becoming a Financial Advisor 11:20 Estate Planning and Probate Awareness15:06 Rebuilding Life Through Financial Clarity17:14 The Financial Flight Plan 20:18 Long-Term Wins With Clients 23:30 Community Work and Giving Back 30:21 Action Before Motivation 42:17 Starting the Outdoor Pool Project 53:36 The Value of Visual Branding 58:53 Looking Ahead and Personal Legacy Visit Our Websitehttps://www.eloquententrepreneur.ca/Follow Us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eloquententrepreneurCreditsGuest: Mike ReillyWebsite: https://www.mikereilly.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-reilly-1b3bb78/Host: Linda Mackie | Photographer, Creative Producer + Intuitive Guide for Modern EntrepreneursWebsite: https://www.lindamackie.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindamackiecreative/Production: KeenliiWebsite: https://www.keenlii.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenliico/Producer: Barry KeeganLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrykeegan/Subscribe and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.

| 10/22/25 |  Mindfulness, Boundaries & The Shift from Hustle to Harmony | Jill Lawrence | Can entrepreneurship actually be a vehicle for personal healing and growth?In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, I sit down with Jill Lawrence, website designer, mindfulness teacher, and co-founder of the Cowichan Women’s Business Network (CWBN). We dig into how running a business forces us to confront our own shadows, why setting boundaries is actually an act of self-love, and how a simple morning mindfulness practice can completely change the trajectory of your day.Jill shares the candid story behind CWBN’s rapid growth, the role of "co-regulation" in her client work, and her personal journey from a nervous networker to a confident speaker—including the leap it took to give a DisruptHR talk to 400 people.

| 6/23/25 |  Feeling to Heal | Julie Marrast | "You cannot give what you do not have. To connect deeply with our children, we must first learn to connect deeply with ourselves." ~ Julie MarrastIn this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, author and TEDx speaker Julie Marrast opens up about the moment she realized she was showing up for her son—but not for herself. What followed was a deep personal journey through emotional healing, grief, plant medicine, and parenting with intention.Julie shares how emotional release—through crying, laughing, shaking, sweating, and even yawning—helped her reconnect with her true self and build stronger relationships at home. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you’re carrying more than your share, this conversation offers real tools, honest stories, and a quiet kind of hope for every parent and caregiver.Takeaways:• Emotional Release: Why crying, laughing, and even yawning are natural, powerful ways to process stress and trauma.• Connection First: Why parenting with intention starts by learning to feel and process your own emotions first.• Building Your Village: You don’t need a perfect pre-existing community; you can build your own support system from the ground up.• Navigating Doubt: Why self-doubt is a natural part of the process for creatives, caregivers, and entrepreneurs.• Breaking Patterns: How healing family patterns often starts with one person deciding to do things differently.• Unlocking Clarity: Why the courage to feel is the ultimate key to unlocking creativity, clarity, and connection in all areas of life.Chapters:00:00 Empowering Everyday Change Makers01:46 The Journey to Emotional Connection03:03 Transformative Parenting Through Emotional Awareness06:57 Overcoming Challenges in Emotional Healing07:34 Understanding Emotional Release09:01 Daily Practices for Emotional Connection11:12 The Role of Self-Care in Coaching12:28 Finding Inspiration in Personal Experiences13:46 Building a Supportive Community16:14 Tools for Emotional Healing in Parenting17:14 Defining Purpose Through Personal Struggles20:25 Creativity as a Byproduct of Emotional Healing22:11 The Importance of Authenticity in Sharing Stories25:21 Vision for the Future of Emotional Support26:34 Marketing and Spreading the Message29:50 The Power of Vulnerability in Entrepreneurship31:13 Looking Ahead: Resources for ParentsVisit Our Websitehttps://www.eloquententrepreneur.ca/Follow Us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eloquententrepreneurCreditsGuest: Julie MarrastWebsite: https://www.parentingthroughfeeling.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentingthroughfeeling/Host: Linda Mackie | Photographer, Creative Producer + Intuitive Guide for Modern EntrepreneursWebsite: https://www.lindamackie.ca/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindamackiecreative/Production: KeenliiWebsite: https://www.keenlii.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenliico/Producer: Barry KeeganLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrykeegan/Subscribe and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.
