  • #121: Becoming Unstoppable: Resilient Leadership, Faith, and Confidence with Patrick Mork

    #121: Becoming Unstoppable: Resilient Leadership, Faith, and Confidence with Patrick Mork
    Jun 23 2025
    What if everything you built—the title, the business, the success—left you feeling more empty than empowered? Despite reaching the top of his game as the former CMO of Google Play, a 3x Silicon Valley startup executive, and a bestselling author, Patrick Mork faced the kind of internal collapse no resume could cover. Behind the accolades and ambition, he hit a breaking point that forced him to confront the deeper question so many high-achieving leaders quietly wrestle with: "What if success isn’t the answer? What if I’ve been climbing the wrong mountain?" In this powerful and deeply honest episode of GRASP Confidence, Patrick returns to the show for a second time—bringing with him a level of raw truth and soul-centered leadership we rarely hear in business conversations. As the host of the brand-new podcast Mork Unfiltered (launching June 24), Patrick is no stranger to straight talk. But this conversation goes far beyond business strategy or entrepreneurial frameworks. It’s about identity, burnout, redemption—and ultimately, faith. Patrick opens up about what it really looked like to lose himself, step away from the noise, and rebuild not just a career—but a calling. He shares how rediscovering his faith became the foundation for lasting resilience, and how clarity—not hustle—became the compass for everything that followed. From the chaos of corporate life to the calm of spiritual alignment, Patrick’s story is a reminder that true confidence doesn’t come from performance—it comes from purpose. If you're a high-performing entrepreneur, CEO, consultant, speaker, or author navigating your next chapter, this episode will meet you at the intersection of breakdown and breakthrough. You’ll walk away with powerful insights on how to: ✅ Rebuild your confidence after failure, burnout, or loss ✅ Anchor your leadership in faith, values, and clarity ✅ Stop outsourcing your worth to titles, income, or public approval ✅ Embrace resilient leadership grounded in purpose—not perfection ✅ Lead with conviction and courage—even when the path feels uncertain Whether you're scaling a business or re-centering your life, Patrick offers a roadmap to becoming truly unstoppable from the inside out. You don’t need another tactic. You need truth, alignment, and a renewed sense of why. And this conversation delivers all three. 🎧 Listen now and rediscover what it means to lead with purpose, live with conviction, and build unshakable confidence rooted in faith and resilience. 🌐 Connect with Patrick at patrickmork.com 🎙 Subscribe to his new podcast Mork Unfiltered (launching June 24!) 📲 Follow Patrick on LinkedIn and share the episode with someone who needs to hear it 💬 Leave a review on Apple or Spotify and help more leaders access the clarity they’ve been craving Because confidence isn’t about being certain—it’s about being grounded in resilience.

    #120: Faith-Based Strategies to Lead, Overcome, and Thrive in Business With Melissa D. Whitaker
    Jun 22 2025
    Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right but still feel stuck, unseen, or like God has gone quiet? You're leading the business, following the plan, showing up strong... yet deep down, you're battling doubt, exhaustion, and a quiet ache for something more aligned, more fulfilling, and more divinely led. You're not alone and you’re not off track. In this deeply honest and empowering episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Melissa D. Whitaker—a powerhouse entrepreneur, international keynote speaker, best-selling author, and faith-fueled leader in sales, culture, and transformation. With over 30 years of success helping leaders build high-performing teams and purpose-driven businesses, Melissa gets candid about what most people won’t say: Even the most confident leaders face moments of fear, silence, and spiritual testing. Melissa shares her powerful revelation: “When the student is taking a test, the Teacher is silent.” —meaning that God isn’t absent in your hard seasons—He’s watching, waiting, and refining you. From boardrooms to spiritual breakthroughs, she reveals how your mindset can either magnify fear or unlock a faith-filled future. If you’ve ever asked: “Where is God in this?” “Why am I facing this setback again?” “How do I stay confident when everything feels uncertain?” This episode will guide you through the real, raw side of leadership and how to reconnect with your identity in Christ while showing up powerfully in the world. You’ll learn: ✅ How to navigate seasons of silence and testing without losing confidence ✅ The mindset shifts that help you rise after setbacks and rejection ✅ How to align your business with God’s vision—not just your goals ✅ The secret to sustainable success that goes beyond revenue ✅ Why adversity is often the confirmation—not the cancellation—of your calling Melissa also shares how she integrates faith with practical leadership tools—from mindset coaching and wellness to sales strategies and DiSC assessments—offering a holistic approach for lasting growth. Whether you’re a CEO, speaker, author, or emerging faith-driven founder, this conversation will reignite your trust in the process and remind you: Confidence isn’t built in ease, it’s revealed in refinement. 👉 Connect with Melissa and explore her work: 🔗 LinkedIn: Melissa D.

    #117: From Burnout to Bold Faith: Michael Price on Redefining Leadership and Success
    Jun 16 2025
    From Burnout to Bold Faith: Michael Price on Redefining Leadership and Success What do you do when your success is costing you your soul? In this powerful episode of the GRASP Confidence podcast, I sit down with Michael Price, a respected corporate executive and the newly appointed President of C-Suite for Christ Charlotte chapter. Michael’s story isn’t just about corporate leadership; it’s about spiritual warfare, emotional resilience, and the bold decision to stop surviving and start surrendering. Michael opens up about the silent struggles behind the boardroom doors; his battles with depression, burnout, and even suicidal ideation. Despite the accolades and achievements, he found himself spiritually empty and emotionally spent. But through faith, perseverance, and divine redirection, Michael chose a different path: one of purpose, healing, and Kingdom-led leadership. Now on a mission to help other high-performing professionals avoid the crash-and-burn cycle, Michael is writing his first book and stepping into the spotlight as a speaker for faith-driven business leaders. He shares how God is using his past pain as a platform to ignite hope in others and why burnout doesn’t have to be the end of your story. In this episode, you’ll learn: • The hidden cost of unchecked ambition and burnout • How faith became Michael’s anchor in the darkest seasons • The truth about mental health in the corporate world and why more leaders need to speak up • What it means to build a career that honors both your calling and your well-being • Why spiritual alignment is essential for sustainable leadership This episode is for every leader who feels like they’re running on empty, secretly suffering while holding it all together on the outside. Michael’s story is a timely reminder that true strength begins when we surrender and that your breakthrough might just begin at your breaking point. Ready to lead with confidence and faith at the center? Hit play, take notes, and share this with someone who needs the reminder: You’re not alone, and you were never meant to carry it all by yourself. 🎧 Subscribe to GRASP Confidence on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen—and don’t forget to leave a review if this episode blesses you! ✨ What does GRASP stand for?

  • #116: The Transformative Power of Gratitude: From Pain to Purpose with Valeriya Hjertenaes

    #116: The Transformative Power of Gratitude: From Pain to Purpose with Valeriya Hjertenaes
    Jun 12 2025
    The Transformative Power of Gratitude: From Pain to Purpose with Valeriya Hjertenaes What if the very thing that broke you became the catalyst that built you? In this powerful and deeply personal episode of GRASP Confidence, I sit down with Valeriya Hjertenaes, a courageous scholar and rising thought leader whose journey proves that gratitude can be the bridge between pain and purpose. Born and raised in Ukraine, Valeriya grew up in a home shadowed by her father’s alcoholism and the heavy weight of unworthiness. Despite being intellectually gifted and outwardly beautiful, she silently battled depression and struggled with self-confidence for much of her life. But everything changed when she made a life-altering decision: to no longer be defined by her past, but by the woman she knew she was always meant to become. Now pursuing her PhD at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Valeriya holds Master’s degrees in Finance, Knowledge Management, and Innovation Management. Her doctoral research explores the role of diversity management in advancing industrial sustainability—focusing on gender, cultural, and neurodiversity. She is also a passionate mental health advocate, proudly neurodivergent, and on a mission to create spaces of inclusion and understanding. In our conversation, we explore the transformative power of gratitude—how it can rewire identity, elevate confidence, and serve as a spiritual and emotional compass when the world feels uncertain. Valeriya vulnerably shares how gratitude and responsibility became the anchors that allowed her to heal and rise—and how she is now walking boldly toward her next dream: becoming a TEDx speaker. I’ve had the honor of coaching and mentoring Valeriya through this next chapter, and what’s unfolding is nothing short of inspiring. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your story or unsure of your worth, this episode is your invitation to reclaim your power through the lens of gratitude. Because healing doesn’t begin with what happened to us—it begins with what we choose to do next. 💫 Let this be the reminder: Gratitude doesn’t just change your mindset, it transforms your entire life. ✨ What does GRASP stand for?
