The Going Scared Podcast with Jessica Honegger

Bob Goff, author of the breakaway bestseller Love Does, is an encourager, a teacher, a ”recovering lawyer,” and the Hon. Consul to Uganda. After practicing law for 25 years (he declared that he was the only lawyer that wore a Mickey Mouse watch), he gave up his law firm to pursue writing and speaking full time. Along the way he has connected with others who are on their own adventures, and is driven to help others unlock their potential to love and be loved greater. Bob isn’t interested in agendas, he’s interested in getting past them and being super real. Feeling stuck? Be inspired by Bob to get “unstuck” and find power in being present and available to life and to those around you.

From a very early age, Tiffany Aliche understood the value of a dollar (and a power bill). But like so many of us, she made some financial missteps that led her to reexamine her own views of money, and how she manages it. Today, Tiffany, aka “The Budgetnista,” inspires others to manage their money in a way that helps them reach their goals and turn their dreams into reality. Today, Jessica and Tiffany have an incredibly helpful and practical conversation about spending, saving, and taking control of your financial life!

Amy Moffett Brown is the bubbly co-host of the wildly popular Bobby Bones Radio Show that airs out of Nashville, Tennessee. At first blush, Amy looks like she has it all--fun job, happy family, partner in successful non-profits. Amy’s wins in life came from broken places that she turned into good--from her Mom’s difficult battle with cancer, to her burden for the impoverished people of Haiti. Jessica and Amy talk about the bravery it takes to actually make lemonade from lemons when your heart is broken, and how simply “asking” in regards to opportunity is a risk we all need to take more often.

Emily P. Freeman is a writer, creative director, and spiritual mentor who helps create space for the soul to breathe so people can walk in step with their calling.

Sit back and savor Emily and Jessica’s conversation as they discuss how all of us can create space in our lives, gain some perspective, and become empowered to do the next right thing.

The myth of momentum and success can be crippling. In this conversation with Mary and Jessica, we uncover the realizations that success is not what we're called to and we can actually go a lot further when we plan rest into the journey. At some point, you have to surrender that myth of success and learn to redefine it. We only move into significance when we turn that filter outward and concede the old stories we've told about ourselves.

771 million human beings living on planet Earth right now are drinking dirty water. So about one in ten people alive will drink contaminated, unsafe water today or tomorrow. Today's guest, Scott Harrison, the founder and CEO of Charity Water, provides insight on the realities and accessibility of clean water around the world and the impacts the lack of it has on our health and education. Interestingly enough, when addressing the myths, it’s more of a solvable problem than you may think.

We carry around so many myths about trust, and trust is the foundation of all of our relationships.

Dr. Charles and Jessica walk through the four domains of trust: care, sincerity, reliability and competence and how this framework can shape and bring the deepest satisfaction to our relationships

At the end of the day, our nutrition habits matter. It is easy to fall into the trap and become largely influenced by factors that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of our personal health journey. In the first episode of our Myth Busting series, Dr. Adrian and Jessica challenge several myths in nutrition like, Is sugar addictive? Are there misconceptions behind Keto? The truth behind supplements, and how much we should ideally eat.

We face a lot of internal hurdles through the processes and personalities we encounter in our work. The ups and downs (the delicate dance) can lead us to a greater understanding of ourselves, our teams, and our own spheres of leadership. In the final part of this series, we open the topic of work and how each enneagram type thrives in and navigates the workplace.

Whether you create a full scheduled day by day itinerary, show up and go with the flow, or spontaneously book an adventure for the weekend, we all prepare uniquely. In this part two episode, we discuss how each enneagram approaches travel and operates under and around the term, “vacation.”

Summertime creates more space for many of us and that causes reflection. This summer we are doing a 3-part series on the enneagram that features 9 people (yes, you heard that right!) who all represent a different enneagram type. Each person was incredibly vulnerable and there is a lot to learn about yourself and how to be flexible and adaptable with those in your life. In this episode, we overview each type, how they think and function, and their key identifiers.
