201: Stop Waiting for Certainty: How to Cross the Bridge Even When You Can't See the Other Side with Danielle Frank

If the RENAISSANCE ROOM is calling you - join us here: THE RENAISSANCE ROOM [https://go.satva.io/payment-link/6a05bcc21d5a394a682e492d], where women come for soulful connection and conversation, to be seen and to remember who they are at a soul level. Make sure to follow Lianne on IG @liannemcaughey [https://www.instagram.com/liannemcaughey/] This week I'm joined by Danielle Frank — author, luxury brand builder, and someone who has created a genuinely fulfilling life by embracing every unexpected turn along the way. Danielle started her career in international PR at Miramax Films, living the kind of 20s most people only dream about. But after six years, restlessness set in. She left New York, moved to LA, walked into a toxic PR firm, and quit three months later — without a plan. What followed was an accidental pivot into the wine and spirits industry, over two decades building iconic luxury brands at Bacardi and Moët Hennessy, and eventually, the courage to finally publish a book she'd written over a decade ago. A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting is part comedy, part love letter to the industry she's spent her life in — a witty, satirical guide that parallels raising good humans with wine terminology, written from the perspective of a proud aunt who has spent years as a professional observer of chaos. It's proof that the things sitting on the shelf in the back of your mind deserve to be finished. In this episode, we talk about: * Why Danielle left a dream job and what that pit-in-your-stomach feeling is actually telling you * The life she thought she'd have versus the one she built — and why she chose fulfillment over the expected path * Publishing a book 14 years after writing it, and what finally pushed her to do it * Her concept of "don't linger on the bridge" — and why transitions aren't meant to be lived in * The difference between happiness and fulfillment, and why that distinction matters * Why she started the handle @CreateAGreatStory long before she became an author — and what it actually means Connect with Danielle: * Website: daniellefrankauthor.com [https://daniellefrankauthor.com/] * Instagram: @CreateAGreatStory [https://www.instagram.com/createagreatstory/] * Book available on Amazon [https://www.amazon.ca/Wine-Lovers-Guide-Parenting/dp/1967598061/] and Barnes & Noble [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-wine-lovers-guide-to-parenting-danielle-frank/1148414693?ean=9781967598069]

200: The Things I've Been Afraid to Say

For my 200th episode, I'm sharing some of the thoughts, fears, realizations, and truths I've edited, softened, or kept to myself over the years—and why now is the time to release it all, bit by bit.

199: Why You Keep Waiting (And It Has Nothing To Do With Laziness)

The RENAISSANCE Room is open ! Founders Rate until June 1st - Join here: THE RENAISSANCE ROOM [https://go.satva.io/payment-link/6a05bcc21d5a394a682e492d] Have you ever caught yourself doing everything except the one thing that would actually move you forward? In this episode, Lianne gets honest about something she noticed in real time — listening to a book about self-sabotage while actively self-sabotaging. Sound familiar? This isn't an episode about productivity or motivation. It's about the story running underneath all of it — the subconscious belief that was written before you were old enough to question it. The one that's been quietly deciding what you deserve, what you're ready for, and how long you should wait. Because the waiting isn't protecting you. It's just keeping you comfortable in a life that was never fully yours to begin with. In this episode: * Why laziness and fear aren't the real reason you're stuck * What self-sabotage actually looks like in real life (hint: it's not dramatic) * The one awareness practice that changes everything — before any strategy or plan * The question you need to ask yourself honestly before anything else shifts Ready to go deeper?Grab The Honest Check-In — a free guide with seven questions for the woman whose soul has been quietly dying inside a life that looks fine from the outside THE HONEST CHECK-IN GUIDE [https://thespiritualshiftworker.com/honest-checkin-275833] David BAYER.com [https://davidbayer.com/]Book: A Changed Mind [https://www.amazon.ca/Changed-Mind-Beyond-Awareness-Extraordinary/dp/1642939862]

198: Turning It Into Gold: Shelby Perry on Trauma, Trust & Finding Purpose on the Other Side

If you're ready for a community that brings together women who are awakening in this thing called "midlife" join the RENAISSANCE ROOM now. Founders Rate until June 1st THE RENAISSANCE ROOM [https://go.satva.io/payment-link/6a05bcc21d5a394a682e492d] What if the thing that broke you open was actually the thing that was always meant to unlock you? Five years ago, Shelby Perry lost her eye in a snowboarding accident. She was 30, healthy, high-performing, and had never seen it coming. What followed wasn't just a physical recovery — it was a complete dismantling and rebuilding of identity, purpose, and trust. And out of that wreckage, she built something extraordinary. Shelby is the founder of iAdhesive — a community, product line, and movement for people living with one eye. She's a yoga instructor, sobriety advocate, and host of the annual iConnect Virtual Conference. In this conversation, she gets real about the victim mindset, the inner voice she almost ignored, and why your worst chapter might be your most important assignment. In this episode: * Why community — not just healing — was the missing piece after her injury * The three-level mindset framework she now teaches: everything happens for you → everything happens to help others → you turn everything into gold * How getting sober 10 months before the accident gave her an unexpected blueprint for navigating trauma * The moment she was lying in bed and heard a voice she couldn't ignore — and what happened when she said yes to it * Why your purpose doesn't have to look like anyone else's * The iConnect Virtual Conference, Adhesive eye patches, and her first in-person retreat in Tulum * Her bigger vision: eye care awareness and eye protection access in developing countries * Why belief has to come before the proof — every single time Key Quote:"No matter what happens to you, you know that you're going to turn it into something powerful. You're gonna turn it into gold."
