Welcome back to the Fully Stoked Podcast! I’m your host, Sarah Stokes, and today I’m sitting down with my friend Melinda Willison — founder of Upwelling Therapeutic Services.

Melinda spent 25 years as an educator before stepping into clinical counseling after seeing needs that couldn’t be met inside the school system alone. In this episode, we talk about:

• Why anxiety and performance pressure are showing up everywhere (especially in teens)

• Reactivity vs responsiveness and how emotional intelligence starts with your thoughts

• DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and the concept of “Wise Mind” (balancing logic + emotion)

• Identity, self-talk, resilience, and practical tools that help people function better at home, work, and in leadership

• What therapy looks like for teens and families (confidentiality, parent involvement, and support options)

In this episode of the Fully Stoked Podcast, Sarah Stokes sits down with Tina Wolfe, small business coach and clarity strategist behind Creative Business Solutions. They discuss how entrepreneurs can rediscover purpose and passion, lead through servant leadership, and apply emotional intelligence to build stronger relationships in business.

Tina shares practical and faith-centered insights on reconnecting with your “why,” understanding the difference between burnout and misalignment, and why women have a unique advantage in leadership because business is ultimately about people and relationships. You’ll also hear Tina’s concept of business upcycling—helping business owners take what feels stuck and rebuild it into something functional, intentional, and sustainable.
