Viewer discretion is advised. In "Get Ready to Own Your Worth," Jen Bee takes us back to where her story really begins — as the daughter of Cuban immigrants navigating a childhood marked by survival, loss, and prejudice. She learned early to shrink, to perform, and to earn her place. That pattern followed her into a successful corporate career she eventually realized was built on everyone else's version of who she should be. So she left. Six figures on the table. And it didn't go smoothly. Her first business closed. The plan didn't work. But instead of calling it proof that she was wrong to try, Jen called it data — and rebuilt. Within six months she had not only matched her corporate salary, she surpassed it. The difference wasn't a better strategy. It was a decision to stop hiding. The bowtie you'll notice? It's not a style choice. It's a declaration. Jen wears it as a daily act of showing up as exactly who she is — and she'll tell you that is the most powerful business move she ever made. Coach Jen Bee is a business empowerment coach, speaker, retreat leader, and founder of G.R.O.W. — Get Ready to Own Your Worth. She helps women entrepreneurs get visible, get seen, and supercharge their impact and income through aligned action and unapologetic authenticity. When she's not coaching, you'll find her with her two adopted sons and wife of 14 years, yelling at Florida Gators games, geocaching, or chatting up a complete stranger. Her message: the biggest leap isn't the perfect plan. It's taking messy, aligned action anyway.

Jim Plasky | From Survival to WORTHY | WHEN Stories™

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2390106/fan_mail/new] Content Warning: This inspiring story may include sensitive topics that could be triggering for some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised. In "From Survival to WORTHY," Jim Plasky shares a deeply personal story of growing up in a traumatic, unpredictable home — where survival meant becoming invisible long before childhood should require it. He carried that armor into adulthood and into emergency medicine, where he thrived in chaos while quietly avoiding his own pain. But the chaos of a hospital system eventually became its own kind of cage. Constraints, quotas, and a culture that treated patients as diagnoses pushed Jim to make a decision most clinicians only dream about: walk away and build something better. That decision became Revitalize Health and Wellness — a clinic Jim founded on a radical idea: that whole-person care isn't a bonus feature, it's the whole point. No rushed appointments. No checkbox medicine. Just a provider who has done his own healing work showing up fully for patients who deserve the same. Jim built the practice he wished had existed when he needed it most. James "Jim" Plasky is a nurse practitioner, clinic owner, trauma survivor, and storyteller. Trained in medicine and shaped by lived experience, he has spent his career caring for bodies while learning how to heal a soul that grew up inside trauma, silence, and abandonment. He lectures nationally to nurse practitioner students with an emphasis on compassion, presence, and trauma-informed care — and speaks openly about the burnout that hides behind professional success. Jim is the author of Worthy: A Journey from Survival to Healing and the founder of The Worthy Initiative, a platform for trauma-informed education and healing-centered conversation. His message: you are not broken, you are becoming.

Linda Grizely | Everything About Tenacity Is Wrong | WHEN Stories™

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2390106/fan_mail/new] TW: This inspiring story may include sensitive topics or experiences that could be triggering for some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised. #whenstories [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/whenstories] Everything About Tenacity Is Wrong When everything changed, Linda wasn’t in crisis—she was having a conversation with an AI chatbot. That single sentence it gave her became a mirror, revealing how quietly she’d learned to live small. Her talk, The Art of Tenacity, is a powerful reflection on reinvention, resilience, and giving yourself permission to begin again. Linda reminds us that starting over isn’t failure—it’s forward motion. 🎙️ Part of the WHEN Stories™ Experience — where women share their When Everything Changed moments and turn them into legacy. Linda Grizely is a personal finance expert, financial wellness speaker, money coach, and creator of the MeMoney™ method—a permission-based approach to budgeting that puts you back on the financial priority list. She helps women move from shame and confusion into clarity and confidence—without judgment or lecture. Her work centers on a simple truth: You can’t build a life you love on a budget you hate™. Through courses, talks, coaching, and her podcast, she teaches women how to get intentional with money in a way that feels safe, empowering, and doable. Linda is known for her calm clarity and her ability to make even the most overwhelmed person feel seen, capable, and hopeful. She meets clients where they are—with compassion, not pressure. Her voice is deeply grounded in lived experience: from becoming a single mom at 16, to navigating midlife divorce, remarriage, and a blended family, to building a life that aligns with her values. Professionally, she’s launched multiple businesses, reinvented herself many times, and walked away from high-paying roles in pursuit of something more honest and whole. Today, she helps women stop putting themselves last—financially and emotionally—so they can reclaim confidence in their money, their choices, and their future. In her free time, she enjoys singing mediocre karaoke, sucking at golf, and excelling at soaking up the sun.
