The WonderMama Coffee Chat with Terry Yoffe | You are Never too old & Its Never too Late (Ep 26)

You are never too old. You are never too late. And your inner voice is not the boss of you. In this episode of The WonderMama Coffee Chat, Leonne sits down with Terry Yoffe — triple certified international business and communications coach, newly certified in the neuroscience of relational trauma, and living proof that growth has no expiration date. Terry is 83 years old. She has been coaching for more than 20 years. And she is still learning, still building, and still helping people become the master of their own inner world rather than a servant to it. This conversation goes somewhere real very quickly. Terry shares her own story — a childhood with a narcissistic mother, feeling like she did not belong anywhere, and the long journey from feeling unworthy and unloved to becoming one of the most accomplished coaches in her field. She talks about how she found coaching 22 years ago and how it changed everything. Not therapy. Coaching. And she draws a clear and powerful distinction between the two. The heart of Terry's work is this: your inner voice is a protective mechanism. It is not trying to hurt you. But if you let it run the show it will keep you small forever. The work is learning to become the master rather than the servant. And that work, she says, is available to every single one of us — at any age, at any stage, at any point in the story. Leonne and Terry also talk about what it means to keep growing beyond what society calls retirement. About saying yes to opportunities even when fear is loud. About the internal work that no book can do for you. And about what becomes possible when you finally stop waiting for permission to become who you are meant to be. This one will stay with you. Topics covered: * Why growth has no age limit and purpose has no retirement date * The inner voice as a protective mechanism and how to become its master * The real difference between therapy and coaching * Overcoming a difficult childhood and building a life beyond it * The neuroscience of relational trauma and why it matters * Saying yes to opportunities even when you do not feel ready * What it means to do the inner work that books cannot do for you Connect with Terry Yoffe: Terry@TRYcoaching.com Connect with Leonne: TheWonderMama.com | LeonneSherr.com

WonderMama Coffee Chat with Scottie Sherr - Coaching and Coaching and Choosing Team One (Ep 25)

27 years of marriage. 34 years together. And he still said yes. This week on The WonderMama Coffee Chat, Leonne celebrated her 27th wedding anniversary by bringing the most important person in her world to the table. Her husband. Her best friend. Scottie Sherr. What started as a conversation about coaching turned into something much richer. Scottie has spent 15 years coaching youth football and the wisdom he has gathered about people, potential, and what it actually means to help someone grow translates far beyond the field. He talked about why children should play multiple sports before specializing, why teaching the why behind any instruction matters more than the instruction itself, and how the best coaches — and the best partners — learn to meet people where they are instead of forcing them into roles that do not fit. And then they talked about marriage. Not the version that looks good on paper. The real version. What it takes to choose each other through the hard seasons. Why assuming good intentions changes everything. Why you should never give less than your full effort to the people who matter most. And why family and shared experience are the true measures of a life well built. This episode is warm, funny, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from people who have actually lived it together. Topics covered: * Why multi-sport participation builds better athletes and better kids * How great coaching focuses on strengths rather than forcing fit * Teaching the why as the foundation of real growth * What 27 years of marriage actually looks like * Assuming positive intent as a relationship practice * Advice for parents introducing young children to team sports Connect with Leonne: LeonneSherr.com | TheWonderMama.com | @thewondermamaplace | The WonderMama Place on Skool

The WonderMama Coffee Chat with Renee Jackson-Smith - Being Full of Yourself Is a Super Power (Ep24)

Being full of yourself is not the problem. It never was. In this episode of The WonderMama Coffee Chat, Leonne sits down with Renee Jackson-Smith, Leadership Development Strategist, executive coach, and founder of Soar2Win, for a conversation that reframes something women have been taught to see as a flaw their entire lives. What does it actually mean to be full of yourself? Not arrogant. Not self-absorbed. But genuinely, unapologetically aware of your own value and willing to let it show. Renee has spent more than three decades in leadership and talent development. She knows what it costs to suppress your confidence to keep other people comfortable. She has lived the experience of performing well while quietly losing herself in the process. And she brings all of it to this conversation. Together Leonne and Renee explore how childhood messages about self-celebration shape the women we become. Why people pleasing is not a personality trait but a survival strategy. What it looks like to stop waiting for recognition and start claiming it. And how surrounding yourself with the right community changes everything about how you show up. They also introduce a simple practice that will stay with you. Write down your flow moments. The times this week when you feel most like yourself. Most in your element. Most full of yourself. That list is where your next chapter begins. This is a conversation about confidence, identity, leadership, and the quiet cost of always being the one everyone else can count on. Topics covered: Redefining what it means to be full of yourself How suppressing confidence leads to losing your identity People pleasing as a survival strategy and how to move beyond it What real leadership looks like for women and mothers The flow list practice and why it matters Building community that elevates instead of diminishes *** Connect with Renee Jackson-Smith: Email: renee@soar2win.com Leadership PowerShift Clarity Check: https://link.beyondthestage.me/qr/hjXPIaKvHQME [https://link.beyondthestage.me/qr/hjXPIaKvHQME] *** Connect with Leonne: TheWonderMama.com | @thewondermamaplace | The WonderMama Place on Skool

The WonderMama Coffee Chat with Tiffany J. | Surviving is not the same as being well. (Ep 23)

In this episode of The WonderMama Coffee Chat, Leonne sits down with Tiffany J. Artis — Master Certified Professional Coach, Certified Neuroscience Coach, mental wellness educator, author, speaker, and founder of Le'Femme Training and Consulting Solutions — for one of the most honest conversations this show has ever held. Tiffany did not come with a polished presentation. She came with her life. And she used every bit of it. With nearly three decades of executive leadership experience and deep training in neuroscience, cognitive and behavioral therapy, and emotional regulation, Tiffany brings something most wellness conversations skip entirely — the science of what is actually happening inside a woman who has learned to carry everything for everyone and was never taught how to put it down. She talked about what she sees when she looks beneath the surface of a mom who is functioning, showing up, and getting things done. She talked about where we learned the version of ourselves we are currently running on. About the difference between managing your life and actually feeling it. About what emotional regulation really means and why it is not a luxury — it is the foundation everything else is built on. And she brought her own story. Her own deep work. Her own lived experience as the evidence. This is a conversation for the mom who knows something is off but cannot quite name it. The one who has been surviving so long she has forgotten what being well actually feels like. Topics covered: * What is really happening beneath the surface of a high capacity mom * Where we learned to carry everything without asking for help * The difference between surviving and being well * Emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, and what they mean for real life * Using lived experience as the foundation for transformation * What becomes possible when you stop managing and start healing Free resource from Tiffany: 20% off Love Foundations — contact Tiffany at info@alphalefemme.com Connect with Leonne: TheWonderMama.com | @thewondermamaplace | The WonderMama Place on Skool

The WonderMama Coffee Chat with Amy Maikoski - The Pregnant Pause and the Power Pose (Ep 22)

What if the shift you have been looking for does not require you to do more — but to remember who you already are? This week on The WonderMama Coffee Chat, I welcomed Ami Maikoski — Quantum Catalyst, Transformational Facilitator, and Speaker who works with high-performing leaders to expand their internal capacity so they can lead, live, and succeed without carrying the constant weight of holding everything together. Ami has spent over two decades guiding individuals from children to top-level executives. She understands something that most people feel but rarely say out loud — you can be capable, driven, and fully committed, showing up and holding everything together, and still feel the weight of it quietly pressing down. Not because you are doing anything wrong. Because the way you got here required more from you than what you actually need now. This conversation is not about doing more. It is about evolving how you operate so that leadership — in your business, your home, and your relationships — becomes cleaner, more aligned, and sustainable. Ami introduced the Pregnant Pause™ and the Power Pose™. This is not something she learned. It is something she lived. It brought her back from fractured and burned out into full alignment with who she truly is. And she walked every person watching through how to use it in real time. This is the kind of conversation that shifts something. In this episode: * The Pregnant Pause™ and Power Pose™ — what they are and how to use them today * Why leading from presence changes everything * How to stop operating from pressure and return to yourself * Why you do not need to become more — you need to remember who you are _____________________________ Connect with Ami Maikoski: Website: amimaikoski.com IG: @BeTrueToYourBestYou ______________________________ Join The WonderMama Place: skool.com/thewondermamaplace Take the Compass Quiz: thewondermama.com/quiz Book a Discovery Call with Leonne: calendly.com/thewondermama/coffee-with-leonne
