252: Stuck And Drained? The Resilience Reset Business Owners Need with Sophie Zollmann

"You've got to befriend your own self, because your adversary lives within, it's not just on the outside. So, if we want to see peace in the world, be the peace that you seek to see in the freaking world." —Janie Terrazas   What if getting fired, divorced, or "losing everything" was actually your redirection, not your rejection? In this powerful episode, mindfulness coach and creator of PazMesa, Janie Terrazas, shares how she went from top-earning corporate telecom rep to LA TV host and actor, and eventually to a trauma-informed life and relationship coach helping people regulate their nervous systems, process grief, and return to inner peace. Janie doesn't speak from theory. She speaks from corporate burnout, industry darkness, divorce, spiritual awakening, and deep inner work. She breaks down how our unprocessed grief, unresolved trauma, and constant stress quietly run the show—until we finally decide to pause, go within, and heal. If you've ever felt like: • You're "successful on paper" but empty inside • A job loss, breakup, or betrayal wrecked your sense of worth • You're constantly performing, people-pleasing, and overachieving just to feel "enough", this conversation will shift how you see your story. In this episode, you'll learn: • How Janie walked away from a "cush," high-paying telecom career to follow a deeper calling • The surprising way corporate sales rejection prepared her for Hollywood and entrepreneurship • Why misogyny, microaggressions, and being underestimated became fuel for her growth • The real meaning of PazMesa ("peace within") and how it became her life's work • What mindfulness-based stress reduction actually looks like in everyday life • How trauma, grief, and nervous system dysregulation quietly shape our relationships • Why you can (and must) grieve things that didn't "die"—like careers, friendships, and versions of people • The difference between believing and knowing when it comes to faith and inner peace • How to start "powering up the peace within" when you feel lost, ashamed, or stuck   Key themes: Mindfulness, grief, trauma, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, authenticity, and turning pain into purpose. If you're in a season of loss, transition, or questioning everything, this episode will help you see your story through a new lens—and remind you that what feels like an ending might actually be your beginning.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 01:22 Meet Janie 05:27 Transitioning to Mindfulness Coaching 08:10 Challenges and Resilience in Corporate Sales   17:46 Spiritual Awakening and Personal Growth  22:56 The Role of Mindfulness on Personal and Professional Life 28:12 Dealing with Grief and Loss 35:18 The Power of Authenticity and Connection 40:04 Trust Your Voice   Resources:  🌐NEW BOOK by Daniel!!

"Don't do it alone, because that's the only way you can have resilience and never give up. Entrepreneurship is a lonely, one-man band, but only if you let it be that way. You have a choice.

"Culture is what people do when no one is around… when people don't feel safe to speak up, give feedback, they don't really believe in each other, then you can have a really toxic culture, which impacts everything.

"You're always going to have blinders on you. You have to be open to sometimes things that go against what you originally believe, but yet are going to best support your business." —Chris Salem   Sales stalls fast when teams talk in features and scripts while buyers think in challenges, results, and personality-driven needs. Many of us pour money into ads and lead gen, then wonder why conversations drag, trust stays low, and deals take too many touchpoints. This episode gets honest about the real gap: misaligned sales communication and mixed signals within the business. Chris Salem, an expert in business communication, shares how years of work in emotional intelligence, business communication, and revenue growth led to a simple, practical way to align messaging with buyer personalities and company culture.

"Change your perspective, you change your results; change your perspective, you change your business; change your perspective, you change your life; change your perspective, change your bank account; change your perspective, you change your marriage; change your perspective, you change your happiness; change your perspective, you change the outcome. Nothing hinders you many times like perspective does. " —Daniel Gomez   Some doors in business and life do not respond to harder work. They respond when our perspective changes. Many of us stay tied to old clients, old income levels, and old expectations because small thinking feels safer than trusting God for more. In this conversation, Daniel shares how loss in the family, years of business growth, and working with authors and entrepreneurs forced a new way of seeing revenue, clients, grief, and legacy.

"There's a difference between a good idea and a God idea… A good idea could only take you to good places. What you need is a God idea.

Progress slows when effort is high but clarity is missing, and success feels hollow even when the numbers work. Tim Storey shares how faith, structure, and environment shaped his path from humble beginnings to global influence. His journey reveals why spiritual alignment matters as much as strategy when growth demands more than hustle.

 "It wasn't just about getting more, it was about getting more to make a difference." —Bob Harrison   Some moments shake our confidence in what is possible.

"Leave the world better than you found it. You were meant and created for this moment. Every moment is an opportunity." —Chris Gandy   Some seasons of life ask you to grow past who you used to be, not with pressure or guilt, but with a clear invitation to rise.

"You can't allow dissatisfied people to come and rain on your satisfaction. And you can't allow these obstacles that were meant to make you a better human, make you a bitter human being." —Daniel Gomez    Some people can't stand our success because it reminds them of their own excuses. Dissatisfied people often project their unhappiness the moment they see someone thriving in business, faith, or life. Hence, the higher we rise, the more resistance we'll face. But that pressure is not punishment; it's proof that we are being shaped for strength, purpose, and elevation. In this episode, Daniel shares raw truths about the cost of growth, the power of mental fortitude, and how faith can be an anchor when others try to shake our confidence. He breaks down what it means to face betrayal, pass the rite of passage, and keep our joy as we climb. Listen to learn how to protect your peace, trust God's process, and step boldly into the upgrade waiting for you.   Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube   Episode Highlights: 01:49 Dealing with Dissatisfied People 04:54 Let Them Have the Last Word  06:33 The Rite of Passage for Business Owners 10:01 Beware of People Who Jump Ship  14:43 Be Tested 18:19 Stop Being Self-Reliant   20:05 Accept the Upgrade
