The Dana Grant Show

What does it really mean to show up powerfully not just for everyone else, but for yourself?This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Dr. Jacque Colbert, U.S. Army veteran, corporate leadership executive, breast cancer survivor, author, and founder of Sipping PositiviTEA™.
Dr. Colbert has led people inside some of the most powerful companies in the world, including Google, but her most meaningful leadership lessons were forged through deeply personal experiences. Her book, Corporate Sisterhood, now celebrating its 10th Anniversary Edition, became the foundation for a larger movement centered on helping women recognize their power, support one another, and create lives where they can truly show up.
That mission expanded into Sipping PositiviTEA™, a nonprofit supporting women, men, and families navigating breast cancer and helping keep families in their homes while they are in treatment.
In this conversation, we explore the Thriver’s Rhythm: the Groove, the Break, and the Sacred Pause and what it means to stop glorifying the grind and start creating space for restoration, purpose, and joy.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly doing, giving, and performing without taking time to refill yourself, this episode is for you.

If you've ever wondered why some people continue to grow, lead, and thrive under pressure while others stay stuck in the same cycles, today's conversation is for you.
This isn't about motivation and it's not about hustle. It's definitely not about pretending life is easy.
It's about the inner game.
The thoughts and habits no one hears.The identity that quietly shapes every decision we make.
Today's guest is someone who has coached professional athletes, CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders at the highest levels. She understands that peak performance isn't built on talent alone, it's built on mindset, emotional resilience, discipline, and the willingness to do the inner work.
Coach Dar, welcome back.

Why do so many successful people thrive in business but struggle in love?
This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Stefanos Sifandos, internationally respected relationship educator, behavioral science expert, and teacher of trauma-informed human connection.
Drawing from behavioral science, somatics, trauma healing, and both Eastern and Western philosophies, Stefanos helps people understand one of the most overlooked influences in relationships: the nervous system. His work goes far beyond communication techniques, revealing why we unconsciously choose certain partners, repeat familiar relationship patterns, and mistake emotional intensity for genuine intimacy.
Having worked with CEOs, elite athletes, special operations soldiers, world champions, and thousands of individuals around the world, Stefanos helps people break free from psychological and relational burdens so they can experience authentic love, deep connection, and lasting emotional freedom.
In this conversation, we explore attachment, trauma, emotional safety, masculinity, femininity, and what it truly takes to build relationships that nourish rather than deplete us.
If you've ever wondered why love can feel harder than success, this episode is for you.

Don didn't discover his passion until his forties, when he made his very first cake. What began as an unexpected creative outlet became a thriving career built on fearless imagination, artistic expression, and the belief that every creation should tell a story.

What happens when your marriage isn't toxic... but it isn't truly alive either?
This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Lisa Miller, relationship and divorce coach and advocate for women navigating one of the most misunderstood experiences in marriage—the silent divorce.Lisa's story isn't one of betrayal or abuse. It's the story of countless women who find themselves married to a "good guy" while quietly feeling invisible, emotionally disconnected, and deeply lonely. From the outside, everything appears fine. Inside, they're carrying the weight of keeping everyone else happy while losing themselves in the process.
Having lived this journey herself, Lisa now helps women move beyond guilt, confusion, and fear so they can make empowered decisions rooted in truth rather than obligation. Her work isn't about encouraging divorce, it's about helping women reconnect with themselves, understand what they truly need, and choose a path that aligns with their deepest values.
In this conversation, we explore emotional loneliness, identity within marriage, the difference between comfort and connection, and how to find clarity when there are no obvious answers.
If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to want more than "fine," this episode is for you.

What if the secret to extraordinary leadership isn't found in business books but in a life of service?
This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Bruce Cardenas, former U.S. Marine, retired LAPD officer, executive security professional, business leader, and health advocate whose life has been built on one simple principle: serve first.
Bruce's journey has taken him from the Marine Corps to the streets of Los Angeles, from protecting high-profile clients to helping build Quest Nutrition into a billion-dollar brand. Today, he serves as a leader at Legendary Foods and is the co-founder of the BioShift Research Foundation, a nonprofit advancing research in cancer and heart disease prevention.
But Bruce's greatest transformation wasn't just professional, it was personal. After losing more than 60 pounds and committing to training every single day, he embodies the belief that leadership begins with how we lead ourselves.
