The Burnout Trap: Why Entrepreneurs Must Lead Themselves First

In this episode of Fishbowl Roulette, Brandi Holder opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, burnout, and learning how to lead yourself before leading others. Through personal stories of grief, resilience, and rediscovery, Brandi shares how helping her husband during his final days completely transformed her outlook on life, business, and success.

You’ll discover: • Why burnout often comes from disconnection, not laziness • The importance of self-leadership in business and life • How vulnerability can become a leadership strength • Why redefining success can lead to greater fulfillment If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your purpose, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building a life and business that feels sustainable, authentic, and meaningful.

Loud & Unapologetic: Breaking the ‘Just Enough’ Mindset

In this behind the scenes episode of Fishbowl Roulette, Sandra and her guest Kaylee ditch the script to tackle the "just enough" mindset. Moving from the illusions of social media to the raw reality of self-worth, they explore why we play small and how to finally start claiming our space—loudly and unapologetically.

Start Before You’re Ready

Ten episodes in. Which honestly feels kind of wild. In this episode of Fishbowl Roulette, I talk about what I’ve learned from creating something before feeling fully ready — the awkwardness, the doubt, the momentum, and why starting messy may actually be the point. Then we pull a question from the fishbowl: “How do you and your partner stay emotionally connected?” My answer? Intentional time. Choosing each other first. And protecting your relationship by how you think about — and speak about — one another when the other person isn’t in the room. This episode is about connection. To your dreams. To your people. And to yourself. Pull up a chair. Let’s get real. #FishbowlRoulette #Podcast #Relationships #Authenticity #PersonalGrowth #Marriage #Connection #StartBeforeYoureReady

“Community. Cocktails. Beautifully Crafted Chaos.” Welcome to the heart and mind of super entrepreneur Carisa Stark.

From launching a food truck out of an old FedEx truck to building restaurants, live music venues, and unforgettable experiences in Southeast Missouri, Carisa Stark joins Sandra Koenig for a wildly honest episode of Fishbowl Roulette. What starts as a conversation about hospitality and hometown roots quickly turns into a deeper discussion about leadership, vulnerability, growing up in the Midwest, raising adult children, chasing purpose, and the pressure of being misunderstood in a small town. With random Fishbowl questions guiding the conversation, Sandra and Carisa dive into entrepreneurship, community culture, high expectations, dinner-table nostalgia, rumors, relationships, and the emotional reality behind being “the strong one.” Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and unfiltered, this episode is a reminder that the people who seem fearless often carry the deepest stories.
