Every new room asks the same question before anyone says a word: do you belong here? On this episode, I sit down with my daughter Josi for our quarterly debrief — this time about her first season on a new club volleyball team, walking in as an outsider with no shared history and a serve that fell apart under pressure. We talk about the car-ride cry after her first practice, the moment a parent asked "who is this girl?" watching her confidence shift, and what it actually took to go from outsider to teammate. This one isn't just about volleyball. It's about the imprint left on us by the rooms we fight our way into.———💫 Read the Full Reflection: https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-room-doesnt-open-because-you———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week, I'm turning 55.And recently, I was in the back of a car listening to my siblings talk about their lives moving forward. I had nothing to add. The next day, in the middle of a coaching retreat, I ended up on the receiving end of the exact thing I coach my own clients on.This episode is that — no guest, just me. What it means to feel "behind." Where that feeling actually lives in the body. A live 2-minute meditation you can do with me. My 5 takeaways. A reflection across five decades. And the 55 Letters project I'm starting today — one letter a day, ending in Portugal at my niece's wedding.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/what-turning-55-this-week-brought———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week on Journey to June I'm talking to Adam DeVon Miller, founder and CEO of Good Game Foundation, a nonprofit that connects athletes to purpose beyond the game they play. Adam played wide receiver at Wabash College and was the first in his family to go to college — football was the thing that opened that door for him.But this conversation isn't really about football. It's about what happened after. A service trip to post-Katrina New Orleans cracked open a much bigger question for Adam: what does the game actually mean once the scoreboard disappears?We talk about the two-a-days that taught him he could push further than he thought, the Kevin Love essay that cracked something open in him years later, and why he believes every athlete is carrying a story worth more than any box score.This one is about building an identity the game can't take from you — and what it costs when you wait too long to start.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-game-ends-quietly-thats-the-part———💫 Connect with Adam:Visit his Website: https://www.goodgamefoundation.org/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamdevonmiller/Instagram: @adamdevonmiller———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week I sit down with Olympian, coach, and father of three Roberto Mandje, and what struck me most wasn't the résumé — it was how he talks about being stronger than he ever gave himself credit for. Roberto grew up between Barcelona, West Africa, and the U.S., raised by a single mother who never once told him what he couldn't do, and he carried that into a twelve-year running career that peaked at the 2004 Athens Olympics, lining up in the 1500m next to the very runner whose poster hung on his bedroom wall. In this episode, we talk about what it actually feels like to stand at that start line, what running alone in the woods still teaches him that a desk never will, and how becoming a father — and, more recently, walking away from the organization he'd spent a decade helping build — forced him to ask what he's actually building his life toward now. This one is about identity that doesn't collapse when the structure around it changes, and about what it means to leave every place, and every person, a little better than you found it.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/when-the-structure-disappears-the———💫 Connect with Roberto:Visit his Website: mandjecoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertomandje/Instagram: @robertomandje———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week I sat down with Abiola Wabara — a former pro basketball player, national champion, and now the founder of Globall Life, a platform built to help athletes navigate life after sport. In this episode, we get into her childhood in Italy as the daughter of Nigerian parents, the culture shock of trading Rome for Waco, Texas, and the ten-year pro career that followed. But the real conversation starts after the ball stops bouncing — when Abiola describes googling her own master's degree because she had no idea what to do with it, driving Uber with her resume in the passenger seat, and the panic attacks she didn't even recognize as panic attacks. This is a conversation about what happens when the structure that built you disappears, and what it actually takes to build a new one. Abiola's answer might surprise you: it starts with letting go of your ego.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/what-we-do-with-not-knowing———💫 Connect with Abiola:Visit her Website: www.globalllife.com OR www.artbyabiola.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abiolawabara/Instagram: @Globall_Life———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Jill Muhe — a former Division I and professional beach volleyball player who spent a decade grinding on the AVP tour before becoming an athletic trainer, a college head coach, and now a career consultant for athletes navigating life after sport. Jill and I talk about growing up playing basketball with the boys, the identity crash that comes with retiring (more than once), and a reframe that stopped me in my tracks: athletes don't lose their drive when sport ends, they lose the ecosystem that was quietly supporting it the whole time. We get into what actually happens to a high performer who's grinding without a coach, a team, or anyone celebrating the small wins, and why the real question isn't "why did you play" but "why did you stay." If you've ever felt like your motivation disappeared overnight, this conversation will help you understand what really happened — and how to rebuild.———💫 Read the Full Reflection: https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/why-did-you-stay ———💫 Connect with Jill:Visit her Website: https://www.jillmuhe.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillmuhe/Instagram: @jillmuheSubstack: https://jillmuhe.substack.com/———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Amy Pierre-Russo. Amy spent a decade in HR before becoming a life and business coach, and she built something she calls Hustle to Harmony. Instead of the scale — which just makes you feel like you're failing the second one side gets heavier — she thinks of it as a pie. You only get 100%. Some seasons work takes 60, some seasons your kid needs 60. That's not imbalance. That's just life.We went deep into her own story too. Amy lost her mom when she was six, and was raised by her dad, who made the choice not to bring anyone else into the house full-time. I asked her what that absence taught her, and what it's like now raising her own son knowing what that gap felt like as a kid. We talked about the guilt of leaving for work trips, the small rituals that make it easier, and this idea of surrender — that you don't have to make peace with hard choices, you just have to give yourself grace around them.This one stayed with me. If you've ever felt like you're failing at the "balance" thing, I think you'll feel a little lighter after this.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/on-the-myth-of-balance———💫 Connect with Amy:Visit her Website: https://www.coachingwamy.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachingwamy/Instagram: @coachingw_amyFree Resource: https://coachingwamy.start.page———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

This week on Journey to June, I'm joined by Megan Hayward, a former Division One basketball player, mom of five, and founder of TAG (Temporary Assistance Guru), a staffing platform she built from the ground up at 24 years old. But that's not really where this episode starts.We started with what it means to let your kid sit in hard. Megan and her husband — a former Jacksonville Jaguar and Denver Bronco — have raised athletes who've had to face that moment: am I going to quit, or am I going to see what I'm made of? One son is at West Point. Another is getting Division One offers. The path wasn't straight for any of them, and that's exactly the point.Then Megan went somewhere I rarely go on this podcast. She shared the story of surviving an abusive relationship in college — one that produced her son Israel and ultimately the force that broke her free. What she said about raising him, about not pretending his father never existed, about the safe spaces we have to create for our kids — I'll be thinking about that for a long time.We also talked about what ethical leadership actually looks like in business, ownership as a core value, and the shopping cart test she gave her entire team. Her company TAG sits at the intersection of the gig economy and traditional staffing — solving a problem nobody else was solving with integrity.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-muscle-for-hard———💫 Connect with Megan:Visit her Website: tempguru.coLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersonmegan/Instagram: @megan.c.hayward———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com

Nine years ago, I said yes to a weekend I couldn't fully explain — three days with Bo Eason, before Live Your June existed, before I had language for what I was even looking for. This year, I said yes to the same experience again, but this time I brought Josi along. In this episode, Josi turns the mic around and asks me why it mattered, and then I turn it back on her: what has her own version of that room given her at 13 that took me decades to find.We talk through what it means to live as a player instead of a fan in your own life and why confidence isn't something you believe, it's something you physically stand in. We also get into Roger Love, the voice coach who's worked with everyone from Selena Gomez to Tom Brady, and a moment with LPGA golfer Lorena Ochoa that first showed me what "professional" actually looks like in practice.What surfaces by the end isn't really about that one weekend. It's me and my daughter comparing notes nine years apart, and me admitting out loud that she's more clear at 13 than I was at 45. The episode closes the way it opened: asking what room you've been circling, and whether you're willing to walk in without knowing where it leads.———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com
