  • #177: Life Happens. Positivity Is a Choice. Here's How to Choose It | Russ Hedge
    Feb 25 2026
    In a world that feels louder, faster, and more negative than ever, confidence isn't just a mindset; it's a choice. And when life throws curveballs (as it inevitably does), the leaders who rise aren't the ones who avoid challenges, but the ones who decide how they respond. In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, host Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with inspirational speaker, international bestselling author, and master connector Russ Hedge to explore what it truly means to choose positivity, purpose, and forward momentum—no matter what season of life or business you're in. With over 30 years in marketing, sales, and relationship-driven business, Russ has seen it all. And more importantly, he's learned how to turn experience into encouragement, setbacks into fuel, and connection into one of the most underutilized confidence accelerators available today. Known as an "Inspiration Specialist," Russ Hedge is a positive force in an often hectic and high-pressure business environment. He's been recognized as a top salesperson across multiple industries, not just for his results—but for the way he builds trust, networks authentically, and adds value before ever asking for anything in return. In this episode, Russ shares how confidence is built through connection, not perfection. He opens up about the power of encouragement, the importance of mindset in leadership and business growth, and why choosing positivity is a strategic advantage—not a personality trait. Listeners will hear real-world stories from Russ's decades-long career in marketing and sales, along with insights from his bestselling book, Live Happens… and Then You Choose!—a message that resonates deeply with entrepreneurs, leaders, and high-performers navigating uncertainty, transition, or growth. This conversation goes beyond tactics. It's about how you show up when things don't go as planned, how you lead with purpose, and how intentional encouragement can change not only your business; but your life. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, speaker, coach, or professional who: Feels drained by constant pressure and negativity Wants to build confidence without burnout Knows relationships are key but wants to deepen them authentically Is navigating change, growth, or uncertainty Wants to live and lead with more purpose and positivity …this episode will meet you exactly where you are. Russ doesn't preach motivation—he models it. His ability to connect, inspire, and make people feel seen is why he's trusted as a speaker, coach, consultant, and podcast host across platforms. From mindset shifts to practical encouragement strategies, this conversation offers both heart and application. You'll walk away reminded that confidence isn't something you wait for—it's something you choose, especially when life happens. 🎧 Listen now to this episode of GRASP Confidence and discover how choosing positivity, connection, and purpose can transform the way you lead, communicate, and live.

  • #175: Our Beliefs Can Make You Sick or Well (Here's How to Shift Them) | Dr. Hamad Shirazi
    Feb 19 2026

    Aligned to Heal: Chiropractic, Consciousness, and Whole-Body Confidence

    What if your pain isn't a problem to "fix"… but a message to listen to? In this episode of GRASP Confidence, I sit down with Dr. Hamad Shirazi (D.C., M.S.Ed.)—chiropractor, educator, and wellness leader—who introduces a powerful reframe: pain as a teacher guiding you back into alignment.

    I met Dr. Shirazi in Belize on a private island, and his grounded energy immediately stood out. In our conversation, we go far beyond "neck and back pain" and into the deeper root: posture, breath, nervous system regulation, belief, and purpose. We talk about how our beliefs can influence healing (yes, even the placebo effect), why many people stay stuck in suffering, and how shifting from fear to trust can change everything. You'll also hear a mind-blowing concept you may have never heard before: "pronoia"...the belief that life is conspiring in your favor.


    Inside this episode, we cover:

    • Why Dr. Shirazi says "pain is direction"—not punishment

    • The most common issues he sees (neck, back, shoulder, knee) and what they often reveal

    • How he blends chiropractic + physical therapy principles + strength & conditioning to get to root cause

    • The role of breathing, posture, mobility, and balance in lasting healing

    • Why "being right" can keep you stuck—and how curiosity opens the door to change

    • How gratitude, surrender, and nervous system safety support transformation


    If you've been feeling out of alignment—physically, mentally, or spiritually—this episode will help you reconnect to your body, rethink your beliefs, and move forward with intention. Listen now, and if it resonates, follow GRASP Confidence on your favorite platform and leave a quick Apple review—I read every one.

  • #174: The Spiritual Billionaire Code: Turning Vision Into Reality Through Alignment | Jocelyn Luko-Sandstrom
    Feb 14 2026

    What does it really mean to become a Spiritual Billionaire?

    In this expansive and activating episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara sits down with global speaker and mentor Jocelyn Luko-Sandstrom, a visionary leader who helps high-performing individuals turn their deepest truths into lived abundance.

    The two first met on a retreat in Belize last month, where one powerful conversation quickly revealed a shared language around alignment, embodiment, and purpose-driven wealth. That connection naturally led to this conversation—one that goes far beyond manifestation buzzwords and into what it actually takes to live, lead, and create from integrity.

    Born in Hawaii and shaped by living and working in 12 countries, Jocelyn brings a truly global perspective to wealth, leadership, and consciousness. After transforming her own life through quantum energy work, NLP, neurological re-patterning, and embodiment practices, she moved from a high-profile career in fashion, film, and media—working with brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Yves Saint Laurent—to guiding visionary leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives toward sustainable success without burnout.

    In this episode, Jocelyn shares what it means to release hustle, align with truth, and embody abundance from the inside out. Together, Tara and Jocelyn explore the shift from force to flow, identity-based wealth, and how leadership evolves when success is no longer separated from fulfillment.

    This conversation is for you if you've achieved outward success but know there's a deeper calling—or if you're building something meaningful and want to do it without losing yourself in the process.

    If you're ready to redefine wealth, elevate your leadership, and step into the frequency of a Spiritual Billionaire, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

    🎙️ Listen now and follow GRASP Confidence for weekly conversations on faith, confidence, purpose, and aligned leadership.
