The Psychology of Selling with Kieva Hranchuk

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Dr. Kieva is a behavior scientist turned sales psychology strategist who helps entrepreneurs sell without the sleaze. With a PhD in Applied Behavior Analysis from Columbia University in New York City, she translates complex behavioral science into simple, psych-infused sales strategies that actually work. She’s known for her anti-bro energy approach—teaching sellers how to create trust, activate buyer behavior, and build brands that last. Dr. Kieva has multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals, and her work helps business owners make more money while feeling good about how they sell.

The path to your most aligned business isn’t necessarily something you invent. Sometimes, it’s recognized through self-reflection and pattern spotting across our lived experience.

In this episode, Dr. Kieva Hranchuk shares how the “messy” chapters of our past often contain the exact skill sets that make our work powerful today. She explains how her early career working as a therapist with autistic children, where she learned to analyze behavior, identify reinforcement patterns, and shape meaningful outcomes, unexpectedly became the foundation for her current work helping entrepreneurs increase sales using behavioral science.

Rather than reinventing herself, Dr. Kieva learned to connect the dots: the analytical precision of behavior analysis, the emotional intelligence developed in therapeutic work, and the real-world need business owners have to understand why people actually say yes.

That intersection became her category-of-one expertise — teaching leaders how to engineer faster, more predictable buying decisions without manipulation.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

* Why your past experiences are often your greatest competitive advantage

* How recognizing patterns across your career can reveal your true zone of genius

* The behavioral science behind why buyers say yes (and why they hesitate)

* How Dr. Kieva transformed therapeutic behavior-shaping methods into modern sales psychology strategies

* A powerful reframe: building the business of your dreams often starts by honoring the skills you already carry

This episode is a reminder that your mission rarely appears overnight. It emerges when you step back, notice the patterns, and realize the very experiences you once thought were unrelated may actually be the blueprint for your most meaningful work.

The Unseen Battle: A Mother's Journey

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:03:03 GMT

This conversation delves into Laura's journey as a mother navigating the complex medical challenges faced by her daughter, LewLew. From the early struggles with her son Hayden's health issues to the mysterious illness that struck Lewlew, Laura shares her experiences of advocacy, the search for answers, and the importance of community support. The discussion highlights the emotional toll of medical challenges, the fight for proper diagnosis, and the empowerment that comes from sharing stories and building connections with others facing similar struggles. Laura also discusses her upcoming book, which aims to inspire and empower other mothers dealing with health issues in their children.

A Message from Laura:

Hello to all! I am Laura Zimmerman Whayne. Have had a long life of pain to purpose that ultimately led me to being able to get help for my son who had a rare immune deficiency. From helping my son, I learned that my instincts were right and it gave me the confidence to fight like hell to figure out what was wrong with my daughter, LewLew, when she got very sick in 2017. This journey led to battle after battle and helping over 5000 girls around the world. It took being creative, patient and headstrong to figure out how to get LewLew tested in a way that would show why she could not eat or drink. Once discovered, we were on a long and scary and ferocious battle for her life and others. Once the ABC news story aired (see attached) I was able to reach so many moms and girls around the world and it went from there. My job as a project manager for a custom building company actually led me to figure out a few things regarding LewLew's health. I was able to juggle working 40+ hours a week with project managing renovations and new builds in addition to high end real estate sales with RE/Max United along with fighting for thousands around the world. I founded a private group called Mama Lions (attached) to have a safe place to vent all of our worries, prayers and thoughts. LewLew is now in Grad school at UNC for public health. There is not a day that I ever take for granted that she is with us as in October 2021 we were told she probably would not survive. UNC calls LewLew their miracle kid. We do, too.

From Burnout to Balance: Alicia Croci's Story

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:04:00 GMT

Alicia Croci is a Business and Mindset Coach for moms who are ready to build six-figure businesses that actually support motherhood. After leaving her corporate 9–5 just one year into entrepreneurship, Alicia learned firsthand that building a business while raising a family isn’t a straight line — it’s a journey of messy action, pivots, and a lot of personal growth.

Four years into her business journey, after her son was born, she had to rebuild her business from the ground up — finding creative ways to make it work while being present as a mom, without losing herself or her income.

That experience strengthened her mission to help women create wealth that gives them the space to actually enjoy life. Today, she helps other moms do the same — building businesses that align with their lives, not the other way around.

You can connect with Alicia on Instagram @aliciacroci for honest conversations, mindset shifts, and practical business strategy that helps moms build both wealth and freedom.

Breaking the Stigma: A Chat with Kendall Concini

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT

A Note from the Author:

I’m Kendall Concini-Moore — a children’s author, mental health advocate, and the heart behind Mom’s Cloud at the Beach: Shining Light on Big Feelings. My work grew out of my own journey through motherhood and mental health — learning, sometimes the hard way, that emotions don’t need fixing, they need space to be felt.

Writing became my way of turning the mess into meaning. Mom’s Cloud at the Beach helps families talk about parental depression and emotional awareness through story — giving kids language for feelings and reminding adults that it’s okay to not be okay.

Through my blog, Cloudy Day Chronicles, and a growing collection of stories about emotional regulation and family connection, I share tools that invite openness, patience, and play into the conversation around mental health.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief that connection heals — and that storytelling can turn even our cloudiest moments into light for someone else. It’s been an amazing journey connecting with mental health podcasts and therapeutic agencies to build community, resources, and shared support.

Creativity and Resilience with Morgan Calhoun

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:02:00 GMT

Morgan Calhoun is the visionary, heart, and hustle behind Sweet Texas Treasures Boutique, a one-of-a-kind retail destination located in Lake Conroe, Texas. A proud Texan, Morgan built her boutique not just on a love of fashion—but as a beacon of strength, healing, and creativity after overcoming personal trauma.

Morgan’s journey began with a degree in Fashion Merchandising, followed by a successful career as a Visual Manager for Dillard’s, where she honed her eye for styling, branding, and the art of customer experience. She later poured her skills into education, serving as a high school fashion design teacher, helping students find their voice through style and design.

But behind the scenes, Morgan was silently carrying the weight of deep personal trauma. After walking through a season of intense heartbreak and healing, she turned to what she knew best—creating. What started as a small, soul-soothing side hustle soon grew into a full-blown business with heart, grit, and purpose: Sweet Texas Treasures Boutique.

Today, Morgan leads her boutique with a faith-filled spirit, fierce resilience, and a passion for community. Her shop is known for its vibrant mix of upcycled treasures, custom trucker hats, Texas-themed pieces, and handcrafted goods—many of which are created in-house or in collaboration with local artisans. It’s more than a boutique; it’s a space where stories are told, identities are celebrated, and healing can happen—one treasure at a time.

Morgan is also a proud mama of two, a new believer walking boldly in faith, and a firm believer that creativity can be redemptive. Through every piece in her store, Morgan’s mission is clear: to empower others to wear their story proudly—with strength, style, and Southern soul.

Breaking the Cycle: Self-discovery with Julie Sedler

Thu, 15 May 2025 11:03:00 GMT

A Note from Julie:

I'm Julie Sedler- a chemical engineer by training, but a storyteller at heart. I have spent years journaling and writing down my latest inspirations on random post-it-notes. This has brought the ‘in the moment’ commentary and perspective to my books, courses, and coaching. I released my first memoir, Watch Me, in 2023 on how I transformed my life after divorce.

I learned first hand that my new life would cost me my old one.

All the ‘tuition’ I paid for the experiences of tearing down my life, rebuilding it based on my own dreams, and breaking the cycles of ingrained conditioning for what I should want and do has led me to create my courses, workshops, and speeches to help others who find themselves in the same situations I did.

I am here to help others by guiding them on their own path of self-discovery and growth.

EFT & Manifestation: The Journey of Jocelyn Dawn

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:00:06 GMT

Jocelyn is an unschooling mama to 3 living in Costa Rica but her life wasn't always this bouji -- she chose the unconventional path that most are too afraid to take: Single Motherhood & Entrepreneurship.

At the lowest point in her life, living in government housing as a single mama to two, with zero support from the father, she decided to make a decision that would change their lives for generations to come: To take her children to Costa Rica alone.

She didn't know HOW, but she had an unwavering commitment to giving her children the childhood she wished she had. 8 months after making this decision, she was sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, sipping fresh coconut water watching her 2 & 4 year old kids splash in the waves.

Little did she know, she would manifest the guy of her dreams days after arriving in CR, start a new business and give birth to her 3rd child at home in the jungle. Nearly 5 years later, she has built an incredible life for herself & her family in Costa Rica - they travel often, live in paradise and have the life & business(s) of their dreams.

She now has been mentoring entrepreneurial women in the online space for nearly a decade and at the core of everything she teaches is that nothing changes until we change OURSELVES.

It doesn’t matter what you do, what you sell, what you build — nothing will significantly change until you change the ideas you hold about YOU.

Jocelyn is a Manifestation & EFT tapping Mentor and she is here to remind mamas all over the world that they too can create the life of their dreams through becoming the best of themselves & taking new action.

After becoming a single mother of two in her 40s, she rebuilt her life from the ground up while battling constant anxiety and uncertainty. Turning her personal mess into her mission, Elizabeth discovered the transformative power of changing the way we think and feel about ourselves.

Hypnotherapy has not only helped Elizabeth rebuild her own life but has also allowed her to guide clients through some of their most challenging moments, including processing grief and loss. By tapping into the subconscious, her clients have been able to find calm, confidence, and a renewed sense of control over their lives—even in the face of profound emotional challenges.

Elizabeth hopes that people learn to understand the incredible power of their own minds. If everyone realized how much control they truly have over their thoughts and emotions, they could move beyond anxiety, self-doubt, and fear to create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Her Mess to Mission: Finding Sobriety with Whitney Combs

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 12:00:03 GMT

Whitney Combs is a nationally board-certified health and wellness coach specializing in addiction and recovery. She lives in Tampa, FL with her husband, three children, two cats and a very sweet yellow labrador. Whitney started her professional career as a Physician Assistant in 2004. In early 2017, Whitney got sober and made a decision to move away from the clinical realm and into the coaching world so that she would have the ability to work more holistically with the people she serves. She earned a coaching certification from the National Society of Health Coaches in 2017, an additional certification from Wellcoaches in 2021 and her NBHWC (National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching) board certification for coaching in 2022.

Whitney started her coaching career at Tempest where she developed and implemented a coaching program for people struggling with Alcohol Use Disorder. Whitney then transitioned to building her own coaching business and now works full time as a recovery coach helping women focus on building lives they don't need to escape from.

Whitney is a big believer that everyone has within themselves the capacity for change. She believes that every one of us knows what we need to do in order to heal and live our best possible lives. She sees her work as walking beside her clients, asking provocative questions and offering encouragement and accountability so that they can uncover their own personal path toward health and wellness.

In her spare time you can find Whitney reading (mostly personal development books), journaling, meditating, boating, throwing tarot cards, playing board games with her family and eating all the chocolate.
