Defining Moments

05/02/2026

Everyone talks about success.

Almost no one talks about enjoyment.

In this episode of Defining Moments, I sit down with Gary Cocola, who spent decades building a career in broadcasting…

Only to realize something most people never admit:

👉 Success without fun isn’t success.

So what did he do?

At 73… he built his own TV station.

No pressure. No expectations.

Just pure creativity and enjoyment.

And ironically—that’s where the magic happened.

If you’ve ever felt stuck doing what you “should” be doing…

This episode will challenge you to rethink everything.

If you’ve been holding it all together…
but inside you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering how much longer you can keep going…

This conversation with Sue Van Raes is for you.

We talk about the breaking point no one sees…

and the defining moment you realize something has to change.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do… is step away long enough to come back to yourself.

We’re proud to officially launch a powerful new book:
📘 Loving Wihtout Losing Yourself by Maryna Bilousova

This is not just a book about relationships —

it’s a book about reclaiming yourself.

In today’s world, many women are navigating emotionally complex relationships, often feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their own voice.

Maryna’s work addresses this directly.

Through a combination of:
*subconscious rewiring
*emotional intelligence
*and practical tools

Maryna provides a clear path from emotional chaos → to stability, clarity, and self-trust.

This book stands out because it doesn’t just explain the problem — it gives readers the tools to transform their internal state, which changes everything externally.

To support the launch, Maryna has also released a podcast episode sharing the story behind the book.

You don’t have a discipline problem.

You don’t have a motivation problem.

You don’t even have a consistency problem.

You have a goal problem.

Most people set goals that look good on paper…
but fall apart in real life.

That’s why you start strong—
and then stop.

Not because you’re lazy.

Because the system doesn’t actually work.

Myrto Mangrioti’s new book changes that.

It introduces a smarter, real-life approach to setting goals you can actually follow through on—even when life gets messy.

If you’ve ever:

Started something and didn’t finish
Felt like you “should” be further along
Questioned your ability to stay consistent

This is for you.

I'm running a free training TODAY on How to Write Your Book in a Weekend - 80% of people want to write a book - only 1% actually do.

Let's change that TODAY!

Having a book and book funnel has grown my business faster than anything else I have done.

What if everything we’ve been taught about healing… is only scratching the surface?

After 40 years in trauma research — including helping bring PTSD into mainstream awareness — my guest made a discovery that challenged everything he thought he knew.

Up to 90% of our earliest trauma may still be untouched.

Not because we’re broken.

But because we’ve been trying to fix ourselves… from a wounded version of ourselves.

On this episode of Defining Moments, I sit down with Artie Vipperla — Harvard-trained psychologist, Vietnam veteran, and pioneer in trauma healing.

We talk about:

• Why most healing doesn’t go deep enough

• The hidden root behind chronic stress and triggers

• What happens when you stop trying to “fix” yourself

• And a completely different approach to healing — one that begins with inviting, not forcing

This conversation will challenge how you think about healing, identity, and what’s truly possible.
