Sometimes the biggest breakthrough starts with an ending.

What do you do when the career you spent 20 years building disappears in a 10-minute Zoom call?

In this episode of EPIPHANIES, Anna sits down with bestselling author, sales strategist, and entrepreneur **Kristin Gutierrez** to talk about identity, burnout, mentorship, taking imperfect action, and learning to move when life suddenly changes the plan.

At 10 AM, Kristin lost her six-figure corporate job. By 2 PM, she had landed her first consulting client. She had no perfect plan for what came next. She started moving.

Her philosophy?

Say yes and figure it out.

And that philosophy has carried her through entrepreneurship, financial pressure, reinvention, motherhood, building businesses, and realizing that sometimes burnout follows you even after you leave the job that burned you out.

As Kristin says:

“My handcuffs were off, but I stayed shackled to my own desk by my own will.”

This conversation is about what becomes possible when you stop waiting to feel completely ready, surround yourself with people who will call you forward, and take the next step you can see.

Because sometimes the ending really is the beginning.

I'm helping spread the word about the Billion Dollar Impact Party — a live virtual party where the good stuff drops live, in the room, once. Coaching, masterminds, retreats, VIP experiences, podcast spots, AI and marketing help — the kind of access you don't normally get. One or two of each, no replay, gone when it's gone.

And I’m SO excited because I’ll also be auctioning off seats to Podcast in 72 Hours™ — which means someone in that room could walk away ready to finally bring their podcast to life in just 72 hours. This could be your chance to get in.

A portion of every purchase supports Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 — Run to Remember, doing work that truly matters and giving us a real way to support their mission.

If you’re dreaming about starting a podcast, start by practicing. Just you and a voice memo.

I remember the first time I did this on a road trip with my bestie. She pulled out mics and said “it’s time!”. I had already been talking about the podcast for years, and she loved me enough to hold me accountable. We recorded 3 episodes… and they never saw the light of day. 😂

I needed a bigger “why” than just putting my voice out in the world. Once I had that, I launched within 24 hours. A podcast is not just a hobby. It can become your content engine, authority builder, relationship builder, and marketing platform all at once.

Stop waiting to feel ready. Start recording.

That is exactly what we believe at EPIPHANIES™ and inside Podcast in 72 Hours™.

Joy can be your operating system.

What happens when life changes everything and you have to decide who you’re going to become next?

In this powerful episode of EPIPHANIES, Anna sits down with Donnalynn Riley to talk about grief, identity, resilience, leadership, and intentionally choosing joy through life’s hardest seasons.
After losing her husband, home, and career within months, Donnalynn had to rebuild from the ground up. Her epiphany?

“I can choose joy anytime I want it.”

And if you love the way Donnalynn thinks about leadership, identity, and creating a life that actually works, keep an eye out for her upcoming book, Lead the Vision, Lose the Grind.

This conversation is a reminder that joy and grief can exist at the same time, and that an ending can also be the beginning of who you are becoming.
