Journey To June

Do You Bet on Yourself When Life Interrupts Your Plans? | Ep. 138

This week on Journey to June, I’m sharing a solo reflection on belief—what it really means to trust yourself when life doesn’t go the way you planned. I share about being in a season of healing and forced slowing, and why belief isn’t confidence, motivation, or results. It’s a quiet, internal commitment to who you are becoming, even when there’s no evidence yet. This episode is for anyone feeling tested, uncertain, or disconnected from their momentum, and needing a reminder that your identity is not defined by circumstance. 🚨 And stay tuned! Over the next few weeks, we’re rolling into an Olympic Series on the podcast, exploring the inner world of elite athletes, identity under pressure, and who you become on and beyond the Olympic path. ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

When Your Brand No Longer Reflects Who You’ve Become | with Rachel Pesso | Ep. 137

In this episode of Journey to June, I sat down with Rachel Pesso, Creative Director and Founder of RP Creative, for a conversation about identity, alignment, and what happens when your brand no longer reflects the depth of who you are—or the work you’re here to do. Rachel works with founders and visionary leaders at pivotal growth moments, when something feels off but they can’t always name it yet. We talk about how misalignment often shows up quietly first, why branding from identity matters more than branding from performance, and how clarity comes from slowing down and telling the truth about who you’ve become. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown your website, your messaging, or the way you show up publicly, this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and realign. Because alignment isn’t a rebrand—it’s a return. ——— 💫 Connect with Rachel: Website: rachelpesso.com OR rachelpesso.com/brand-alignment/  Instagram: @rachelpesso  Take her Brand Alignment Quiz: rachelpesso.com/quiz/  ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Athlete Identity, Transition, & the Power of Reflection (Part 2) | with Ed Lubowicki | Ep. 136

This week on Journey to June, Ed Lubowicki is back for Part 2 of our conversation. If you missed Part 1, be sure to go back and listen! In this episode, we shift from research to personal journey. Ed shares his story as a Division I lacrosse player at Notre Dame, the pressure and discipline that shaped him, and the abrupt ending that left little space for reflection. We talk about what happens when athletes, and high performers, move forward without ever processing what shaped them. This conversation explores identity beyond sport, the cost of ignoring the body’s signals, and why reflection isn’t something we “figure out later” — it’s a muscle we build. ——— 💫 Connect with Ed: Website: https://www.lubowickiperformanceadvisory.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edlubowicki ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Discipline, Identity & Who You Become When the Season Changes (Part 1) | with Ed Lubowicki | Ep. 135

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Ed Lubowicki, a leadership coach, former Division I athlete, and someone who has spent years studying what really happens when high performers hit transition points. Not the glossy ones. The messy, identity-shaking ones. After nearly a decade leading complex performance and people initiatives at Deloitte, Ed launched a private advisory practice to work with leaders, athletes, and teams navigating pressure, change, and the uncomfortable space between who they were and who they’re becoming. Ed has interviewed nearly 400 individuals, from Olympians to youth coaches, exploring how mindset, identity, and accountability shape fulfillment and performance. He’s currently completing a Master’s in Organizational Dynamics at University of Pennsylvania, with a focus on athlete transition, leadership, and identity.  Ed doesn’t offer quick fixes. He offers presence, reflection, and the courage to stay in the work long enough to let it change you. If you’re in a season of transition, or sensing one ahead, this episode is for you. ——— 💫 Connect with Ed: Website: https://www.lubowickiperformanceadvisory.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edlubowicki ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Turning Purpose Into Global Impact as a Teen | with Hattie Kaplan | Ep. 134

This week on Journey to June, I’m joined by Hattie Kaplan—a senior at Truckee High School, youth leader, and one of my youth coaching clients who continues to inspire me. Hattie is the founder of Gains for Girls, a wellness and strength club created to help young women feel confident in their bodies and connected in community. After traveling to Tanzania and witnessing the realities of period poverty, she felt called to do more. That calling became Miles That Matter—a student-led 5K and community festival supporting girls’ empowerment and menstrual health education. At just 17, Hattie organized the entire event herself, raising over $14,000 and supporting more than 700 girls through her partnership with CouldYou? Cup. In this episode, we talk about courage, leadership, trusting your inner pull, and what’s possible when you stop waiting for permission and start listening to who you are. This conversation is a reminder that purpose doesn’t have an age requirement. ——— 💫 Connect with Hattie: Instagram: @milesthatmatter5k Website: https://miles-that-matter.webflow.io/ ——— 💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement! ➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico ➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com
