CHARGING UP LEADERSHIP
Ultimately, you are first and foremost a leader of yourself. Leadership starts within. It begins with knowing yourself, stepping into your power, and becoming the best version of YOU—personally and professionally.
Through conversations with a wide variety of guests, we explore leadership, growth, communication, health and well-being, and the stories that shape us. I am especially drawn to stories of transformation—those moments when someone sees themselves differently, makes a courageous choice, or discovers what they are truly capable of.
My hope is that each episode leaves you with a new perspective, a fresh insight, or a little spark that helps charge you up from the inside out.

Ep. 25 - Geoff Lamden: “LEADERSHIP VIBES”
What if leadership was less about strategy — and more about vibration and authenticity?
In this episode, we sit down with Geoff Lamden — musician, sound healer, and founder of Sacred Springs, makers of sound-infused kombucha. But more than any role or title, Geoff identifies first and foremost as human. That’s where his leadership begins.
From writing music to reading the body through sound to building a business rooted in resonance, Geoff’s path is a lesson in leading with presence, intuition, and alignment. His leadership isn’t about commanding — it’s about tuning in.
Ep. 5 - Andy Havemeier, Business Owner: “On the Rise”
Andy's transformation story is pretty incredible - going from homeless to successful business owner in the span of 4 years.
His story begins in the Ottawa Hills neighborhood where he grew up, near the Hall Street Bakery location. Many of his early days were spent in the family business, Herman’s Boy, a bakery/restaurant in Rockford. Eventually he worked within the family business until 2017 when his addiction got the better of him and his life began to fall apart. The big turnaround began when he entered entered the Guiding Light Recovery program in 2019. After successfully working the program, Andy was given a chance by then bakery owner Jim McClurg, when he was offered the management position of Hall Street Bakery. 4 years later, after much hard work on himself, and in the bakery, Andy is the Owner/Operating Partner of both locations, Wealthy Street Bakery and Hall Street Bakery. Andy is now married, has a son, and is expecting another child soon.
