Power Redefined: Feminine Inspired Leadership with Nicole van Kuppeveld

The Internal Journey of Business: Soul, Purpose, and the Adversary Within

What if the biggest obstacle in your business isn't your marketing strategy or your offer... it's the radio station playing in your head? In this conversation, I sit down again with Andy Grinbaum, 5x entrepreneur, MBA professor, ICF-certified coach, and founder of SpiritualBiz.org. Andy has scaled multiple multimillion-dollar companies, coached more than 4,000 leaders, and built a nonprofit dedicated to bringing heart-based leadership into the business world. And he brings all of that into this episode in the most grounded, practical way. We talk about the ancient Kabbalistic concept of the adversary, what Andy calls WSTN (Satan Radio) versus WLIT (the quiet voice of your soul), and why your first instinct in a hard moment is almost always the wrong one. We explore why the struggle is the point, why getting everything for free is actually a kind of hell, and why the most spiritual thing you can do might just be making shoes with your whole heart. Andy also shares two things he tells every new entrepreneur to do immediately, and neither one of them is about tactics. We get into values work, emotional balance, walking meetings, and why a law firm changed everything just by learning to smile. I also share something I haven't talked about much publicly... a block I carried for years as an entrepreneur without even knowing what it was, and what it took to finally see it. If you've ever felt successful on paper but empty underneath, or you've wondered why the tools and strategies aren't enough, this one is for you.

From Surviving to Whole: A Raw Conversation on Trauma, Identity, and the Life You Deserve

What happens when a woman who has survived abuse, addiction, homelessness, and three suicide attempts decides she's done just surviving? You get someone like Mia Vone — trauma recovery specialist, soon-to-be podcast host, and living proof that healing is possible even when the wounds run deep. In this powerful conversation, Vickie sits down with Mia for the kind of honest, unfiltered talk that only happens when two women who've done the real inner work get together. They explore how childhood trauma shapes our core beliefs, why happiness can actually feel dangerous to a trauma survivor, and what it truly takes to rewrite the story you've been living by default. Mia shares her journey from alcoholism, eating disorders, and a life-threatening domestic violence incident to finding her dream marriage, her life's purpose, and a deep peace she never thought she'd know. Together, Vickie and Mia unpack the power of the nervous system, EFT tapping, schemas, and why real healing requires a body-first, multidimensional approach. Whether you're a coach, a survivor, or someone who just knows there's more waiting for you on the other side of your story, this episode will move you.

From Inner Peace to World Peace: Rights, Responsibility & Dignity (with Maria Dolores)

In this episode of Today’s Dream, Tomorrow’s Reality, Vickie is joined by Maria Dolores, a Stockholm-based leader and speaker whose work is devoted to one essential mission: reducing hate, disrespect, and oppression—while increasing growth and dignity. Maria shares the story behind her book A State of Grace and the life events that shaped her message, including a deeply personal season that forced her to confront power, grief, and what it truly means to claim your right to peace—without abandoning responsibility. You’ll also hear Maria introduce her framework for a “Human Constitution”—seven principles that explore rights and responsibilities across the inner and outer life, including: The right (and responsibility) to your body, emotions, and thoughts Personal power and the ethics of how we use it Communication as both freedom and responsibility Respect for life—human life and all life Why real change requires both top-down systems and a bottom-up personal shift Maria also shares how working in the funeral industry—supporting thousands of families—deepened her understanding of human worth, emotional truth, and the dignity every person deserves, no matter their story. This conversation is a reminder that the world doesn’t change only through policies and headlines—it changes through the choices we make every day: how we speak to ourselves, how we treat others, and how we grow up emotionally. If you’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately, this episode offers something rare: clarity, grounding, and a way forward. If this episode resonates, please take a second to subscribe, like, and leave a comment — and share it with someone who would appreciate Maria’s message.

Why Mindset Alone Isn't Enough

If you’ve done the mindset work and still feel stuck, this episode is for you. In this raw, unedited conversation, Vickie Poole explores why mindset alone often isn’t enough and how identity shapes what we feel safe becoming, earning, and sustaining in both life and business. She gently unpacks the difference between what we think and who we believe we’re allowed to be, and why deeply held identity patterns can quietly regulate our growth, much like an internal thermostat.  This episode isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing harder.It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, where awareness itself can begin to shift long-standing patterns. Listen when you have space.Nothing here needs to change today. Mindset matters. Identity decides what’s sustainable. 00:00 — When Mindset Work Still Leaves You Feeling StuckNaming the quiet frustration many people feel after “doing all the right things.” 01:13 — Mindset vs. Identity: What’s the Difference?Why what you think isn’t the same as who you believe you’re allowed to be. 01:52 — The Invisible Ceilings That Show Up in BusinessHow protection, not failure, often limits growth. 04:16 — The Financial Thermostat AnalogyUnderstanding how identity quietly regulates what we allow ourselves to earn and hold. 07:29 — Why Mindset Alone Can’t Create Sustainable SuccessWhen mindset helps and where it reaches its limits. 08:57 — How Identity Shifts Create Natural ChangeWhy behavior changes more easily when it feels safe to become someone new. 09:44 — Awareness as the First Real ShiftHow noticing the pattern begins to loosen it. 10:43 — Closing Reflections on Growth and IdentityWhy growth doesn’t have to feel like erasure and why nothing needs to change today.

Spiritual Tech for Entrepreneurs: Kabbalah, Money & Meaning with Andrew Greenbaum

In this conversation, Vickie sits down with Andrew Greenbaum — a seasoned business coach, former top-ranked MBA professor, and founder of the Spirituality and Business Institute — to explore what happens when you stop hiding your spiritual side and finally bring all of you into your business. Andrew shares how he “came out of the spiritual closet” after 30+ years of using Kabbalah (an ancient mystical tradition) behind the scenes with entrepreneurs, corporations, and students… and why he believes spiritual principles are the missing “operating system” in business today. Together, Vickie and Andrew dive into: Why entrepreneurs are some of the most powerful change agents on the planet The truth about money as a tool for impact (and why it’s not “more spiritual” to stay broke) How spiritual values and practical strategy work together in real businesses The 10-year question that can reset your vision and roadmap overnight Boundaries, Sabbath, digital detox, and why slowing down is often the way to speed up Why real transformation starts on the inside long before the results show up on the outside Andrew also talks about his free workbook, “The Inner CEO,” and how to begin leading your business from the inside out, instead of constantly reacting to everything around you. If you’ve ever felt the tension between being deeply spiritual and deeply ambitious… this episode will make you feel seen, energized, and a little more dangerous (in the best way). 00:00 Introduction and Guest Background 00:55 Andrew's Journey into Spirituality and Business 01:19 The Role of Kabbalah in Business Success 02:50 Spirituality and Entrepreneurship 05:02 The Importance of Wealth in Spirituality 17:03 Mentorship and Coaching 20:19 Family Connections and Modern Challenges 26:39 Exploring the Off-Grid Wildwood Retreat 27:38 The Importance of Disconnecting for Creativity 28:33 Finding Focus Time for Productivity 29:53 The Impact of Email on Productivity 33:22 Implementing Boundaries for Better Work-Life Balance 36:59 The Power of Walking Meetings 44:39 Introduction to Kabbalah and Personal Growth 49:34 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Connect with Andrew: https://www.facebook.com/grinbaum [https://www.facebook.com/grinbaum]https://www.linkedin.com/in/grinbaum [https://www.linkedin.com/in/grinbaum]https://www.instagram.com/andygrinbaum/ [https://www.instagram.com/andygrinbaum/]https://www.youtube.com/@Spiritualbiz-Institute [https://www.youtube.com/@Spiritualbiz-Institute] The Inner CEO: https://spiritualbiz.org/the_inner_ceo [https://spiritualbiz.org/the_inner_ceo] A practical guide to help CEOs and Founders replace chaos with clarity and lead with purpose Connect with Vickie: Support the channel with a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/vickiepoole [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=channel_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblBYRjZPOGMwdld6enZCbV9SRDV5bmk0SGoxQXxBQ3Jtc0tsbndJNW1laUhUVGp3V1ZnNzF2VGFoWUluRTlsSXBVS0JISEpvYy1rVGVGSFVRU2s0OVdqWUIyNmhWcWhGSHZrZ3RsN0oybFVrZ1RyRjBkQ3B4Q1hHODhlWGJxRVV1WEhyLTRIQkJleTJwanYyaWxwNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbuymeacoffee.com%2Fvickiepoole] Link Tree:  https://linktr.ee/vickiepoole [https://linktr.ee/vickiepoole] Subscribe Now youtube.com/@vickiesuepoole?sub_confirmation=1 [http://youtube.com/@vickiesuepoole?sub_confirmation=1] Sign up for my News Letter:  https://theenlightenedpeach.beehiiv.com/subscribe [https://theenlightenedpeach.beehiiv.com/subscribe] Join the Belief Reframe Skool group with a free 1 week to try it for yourself. https://www.skool.com/belief-reframe-8121/about?ref=a66e8b85bb7f4589a99dd2a3fa6de46e [https://www.skool.com/belief-reframe-8121/about?ref=a66e8b85bb7f4589a99dd2a3fa6de46e] Join my FB Group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/westandupandstandout [https://www.facebook.com/groups/westandupandstandout] Ready for personalized help, schedule a call: https://calendly.com/theenlightenedpeach/thirty [https://calendly.com/theenlightenedpeach/thirty] Mining Your Acres Of Diamonds: https://acresofdiamonds.carrd.co/ [https://acresofdiamonds.carrd.co/] Book, The light Beyond The map: https://amzn.to/4dBrq9I [https://amzn.to/4dBrq9I]
