After 20 years of "doing some good" from a professional distance, Chad faced a pivotal moment when he realized the systems he participated in weren't truly working for the people they served. When leadership failed to grasp his vision for a "poverty-informed" institution, Chad stopped waiting for permission and decided to lead from exactly where he stood. This choice didn't just change his career—it reignited his spirit in his late 40s.

About Our Guest: Chad Dull

Chad Dull has spent over 20 years at the intersection of poverty, education, and equity. He is a sought-after speaker and the author of Poverty Informed Practice in Education: 10 Actions to Try Now!. Driven by a fierce pride in his humble beginnings, Chad works tirelessly to remove the barriers that keep talent trapped in poverty.

In his personal life, Chad is a husband to Mandy, father to Hannah and Jane, and a proud grandfather to Parker.

In this powerful episode of Finding Your FIERCE, Carolyn Colleen sits down with media personality, keynote speaker, and author Erika Rothenberger — a dynamic voice on audacity, leadership, and resilience.

Erika has appeared on FOX News and has been featured across major media outlets. In 2025, she was named Dynamic Woman of the Year by Philly Style / Modern Luxury Magazine for her impact on leadership, empowerment, and women’s advancement.

But behind her success is a story that changed everything.

Erika shares the moment she survived a brutal attack — a moment where she believed her life might end. And the powerful decision that followed: not to be defined by it, but to be refined by it.

Today, Erika is the author of Audacious Expansion (releasing February 22, 2026), founder of the sold-out Audacious Women’s Summit, and host of the Grit, Grace & Glitz podcast. She also serves as Director of Performance Systems at Henkels & McCoy, where she leads high-performance culture and leadership development.

In this episode, she shares what it truly means to choose audacity — not just in big moments, but in the quiet, daily decisions to rise, heal, and grow.

You’ll also learn her powerful B.O.L.D. framework:

• Believe in yourself
• Ongoing growth (and omitting what no longer serves you)
• Lean on others
• Develop others

This conversation is a reminder that we all experience our own “punch” in life — but we always have a choice in how we respond.

Choosing a major is one of the biggest decisions students make—often before they’ve ever experienced what the work in that field actually looks like.

In this episode of Finding Your Fierce, we sit down with Wendi Witzke, Program Director of the Legal Studies and Paralegal Program at Western Technical College. With more than 20 years of experience supporting students entering the legal profession, Wendi has seen firsthand how the right learning environment can completely change a student’s career path.

Instead of sitting in large lecture halls, students in her program gain hands-on experience—drafting real legal documents, walking through real legal processes, and building the practical skills they’ll need in the field.

But one of the most powerful insights from this conversation is something many students discover along the way:

Sometimes you don’t truly know what you enjoy until you’re actually doing the work.

Wendi also shares how her program emphasizes community impact and access to justice, preparing students to support individuals who may not otherwise have the legal representation they need.

If you’re a student, parent, or someone exploring a new career direction, this conversation offers a powerful perspective on how the right environment, practical experience, and mentorship can help people discover a path that truly fits.

After 22+ years behind the chair and thousands of heart-to-heart conversations, Emilene realized she had been performing for love — building success, serving others, and over-giving while quietly losing alignment with herself.

Through grief, autoimmune healing, motherhood, and faith, she reclaimed her deeper calling and created her Holistic SOULutions spiritual formation framework:

Trust. Believe. Surrender.

Now she helps women unmask beauty culture, heal from the inside out, and build aligned lives and income rooted in wholeness — because beauty isn’t something you see.

It’s something you feel.

You don’t have to earn love.

You already belong.

Drawing on her work as a historian, leadership coach, and author of Leading With Courage, Jodi unpacks how women navigate careers, leadership, and caregiving within institutions that reward conformity, undervalue emotional labor, and often demand resilience without support. She challenges the idea that leadership belongs only to titles, emphasizing values-driven leadership, voice, boundaries, and integrity at every stage of career.

The conversation highlights expansive leadership for women, asking hard questions, resisting burnout, mentoring across generations, and building inclusive workplaces and communities that don’t require women to shrink, overextend, or assimilate to succeed.

This episode is a powerful reminder that courage for women isn’t just personal—it’s structural, collective, and necessary for real change.

In this powerful episode of Finding Your Fierce, host Carolyn Colleen sits down with John DeDakis: award-winning novelist, writing coach, and former Senior Copy Editor for CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer to explore the quiet, courageous work of healing through loss.

John shares the pivotal moments that shaped his life: facing an existential crisis as a young man during the Vietnam War draft, choosing acceptance over resistance, and discovering only in hindsight that grief had been woven through his writing for decades. What began as storytelling became an unintentional path to healing, clarity, and purpose.

Together, Carolyn and John reflect on why healing is often gradual, why it’s only visible in the looking back, and how creative expression, whether through writing, art, or reflection, can help us process grief without forcing outcomes. This conversation reframes fierceness not as pushing harder, but as the strength to surrender, listen, and trust what’s unfolding.

If you’re navigating grief, transition, or a season of deep uncertainty, this episode offers a compassionate reminder: acceptance can be one of the fiercest acts of healing there is.
