1. ==> Spring Job Market: What Savvy Employees Are Doing
Spring has historically been peak hiring season but in these uncertain times, companies are reassessing budgets, teams are restructuring and employees everywhere are quietly asking: Am I positioned to grow, or at risk of being replaced? Business transformation expert Shawn Fry says most workers are focusing on the wrong thing. Updating your résumé and working longer hours won’t make you indispensable. After leading change initiatives in 60+ facilities across 17 countries, Fry found that the employees who advance in uncertain markets aren’t the busiest, they’re the most strategically visible, cross-functional, and solution-oriented. On your show, he’ll explain why traditional goal setting often backfires in volatile markets, and what savvy employees are doing instead to stay promotable, valuable, and hard to replace.

2. ==> Can’t Put Your Phone Down? Reclaim Your Attention This Spring
Americans check their phones an average of 90+ times a day. Many admit they feel distracted, anxious, and mentally scattered, but can’t seem to stop scrolling. Author and consciousness teacher Mitra Manesh says this isn’t a willpower problem. It’s an attention crisis, and most of us don’t even realize how deeply it’s shaping our lives. On your show, Mitra explains how constant digital stimulation quietly trains the brain to live in “survival mode,” why even successful people struggle to focus, and how reclaiming attention can restore clarity, calm, and real choice. Drawing from her book “The Attentionist: New Choices for a New World,” she’ll share practical ways people can interrupt distraction patterns and begin leading their lives rather than reacting to them.

3. ==> Spring Leadership Reset: Women Are Tired of Proving Themselves
If you’re successful on paper but secretly exhausted from constantly proving your value, you’re not alone. Research shows 43% of women leaders report burnout, and many are quietly questioning whether the climb is worth the cost. Former banking executive and master life coach Amanda Christian says the problem isn’t ambition. It’s the invisible “translation tax” women pay in male-dominated industries by adjusting how they speak, decide, and lead just to be taken seriously. In “The Skeptical Executive,” she offers a research-backed leadership reset that helps high-achieving women stop performing and start leading in alignment with how they naturally think and operate. Book Amanda for a segment on how to clear out outdated leadership models and lead with clarity, confidence, and sustainability. Contact Amanda Christian at (704) 610-1637; achristian@rtirguests.com
4. ==> Plant Better Thoughts This Spring for Fewer Days That Suck
While you’ve got your hands in the dirt with seeds this spring consider the thoughts you’re planting in your head! Spring is prime season for interrupting negative thought patterns before they shape the rest of your year. If you’ve been carrying pressure, comparison, or self-criticism through the winter months, this is your moment to plant something better. Happiness and mindset expert Deborah Mallow says the thoughts you nurture now determine how your season blooms. In this uplifting segment, she shares how to uproot limiting beliefs, water your strengths, and replace harsh self-talk with daily decisions that build confidence and calm. Her approach is simple, practical, and refreshingly real: you don’t need a perfect life to feel lighter, you need to plant better thoughts. With small, intentional shifts, she shows your audience how to protect their energy, lower unrealistic expectations, and create steadier joy. A lifelong New Yorker-turned-happiness expert, Deborah Mallow is the author of “6 Steps to Fewer Days That Suck.” Contact Deborah at (530) 443-5826; dmallow@rtirguests.com.
5. ==> Spring Health Detox: What to Cut First
Spring has a way of inspiring a good detox, but before cutting sugar or starting a cleanse, what if the first habit to rethink is caffeine? More than two-thirds of American adults consume caffeine daily, often without considering whether they’re dependent on it. Health researcher and author Norbert Heuser, drawing from over 45 years of study and insights from his book “Coffee Addiction & Caffeinism,” says caffeine doesn’t truly create energy, it often masks withdrawal and disrupts the body’s natural balance. He explains how everyday caffeine use may contribute to anxiety, sleep problems, chronic fatigue, fertility challenges, and reduced gray brain matter while remaining culturally normalized. On your show, Norbert breaks down how caffeine dependency develops, what really happens during withdrawal, and how to reset your nervous system without sacrificing productivity. He also shares realistic strategies and satisfying alternatives for those ready to try a spring caffeine detox. Contact Norbert Heuser at (727) 261-2313; nheuser@rtirguests.com
6. ==> Love Is in the Air: Re-Entering the Dating Pool After 50
For millions of single Americans over 50, Spring brings renewed hope for love. But dating later in life comes with risks many smart, successful women still overlook. Dr. Victoria Vaughn says experience doesn’t always protect against blind spots. In fact, loneliness, optimism, and the belief that “time is short” can make red flags easier to ignore. On-air, she reveals the warning signs mature singles often miss—from fast-forward romance and financial fog to charming manipulators who feel exciting but unstable. She explains why women (and men) sometimes settle after 50, how to spot emotional unavailability early, and why the biggest myth about love later in life may be the most damaging: that there’s only one soulmate. Blending humor with hard-earned insight from her memoir “Oh the Frogs I Kissed Before I Finally Found My Prince,” Dr. Vaughn offers practical, buyer-beware guidance for anyone reentering the dating world this spring.

7. ==> It’s Time to Spring Clean Your Relationships
Every spring we declutter our homes, but what about our relationships and the emotional patterns we keep carrying? Many people swear, “This time will be different,” only to end up in the same kind of relationship. Sabrina Ciceri, author of “If It’s Not One Thing, It’s a Mother,” says partner choice is often driven by childhood conditioning, not logic. After growing up in deep family dysfunction (including her mother running off with her teenage boyfriend) Sabrina made a conscious decision to break the cycle. On-air, she explains why we’re drawn to what feels familiar (even when it hurts), how to recognize inherited relationship scripts, and the practical steps to choose differently.

8. ==> Is Your Body Asking for Change This Season?
With 6 in 10 U.S. adults living with chronic disease, spring health resets often focus on surface fixes. But what if lasting improvement requires looking beyond symptoms and asking what the body may be responding to beneath the surface? On this timely spring show, Marcel Vögeli explores how long-term stress, suppressed conflict, and emotional overload can influence physical health, and why two people with the same diagnosis can heal at very different rates. After eight years of intensive autoimmune treatment that managed symptoms but didn’t restore his life, Marcel began examining deeper stress patterns in his own story. He has been hospital-free since 2012. Marcel Vögeli is spokesperson for The Key to Self-Liberation by the late Christiane Beerlandt. Contact Marcel Vögeli at Mvogeli@rtirguests.com
9. ==> Get Real This Spring. You’re Not OK, and That’s OK
“I’m fine.” “It’s all good.” “I’ve got this.” Most people say these words automatically, even when they’re barely holding it together. Author Kat Perkins says that habit of pretending we’re okay is often what keeps us from truly healing. After losing her mother at nine, surviving foster care, and later facing breast cancer, Kat became skilled at smiling through pain. “It’s all good,” she would often say, even when it wasn’t. Everything shifted when someone finally gave her permission to admit the truth: it wasn’t all good, and she didn’t have to carry it alone. In this timely Spring conversation about renewal and emotional reset, Kat explains why acting okay can delay real healing, how unprocessed pain quietly shapes relationships and identity, and why understanding your story is the first step toward rewriting it. Drawing from her memoir “Girls with Pearls Have Power,” she shares how setbacks can become turning points, and why this season may be the perfect time to stop surviving and start rising.

10. ==> Is “Good Vibes Only” Making Your Audience Worse Off?
As the season of renewal kicks off, millions of people are setting fresh intentions with vision boards in hand, but what if that relentless optimism is actually working against them? Author Lydia Samaniego is the guest your audience didn’t know they needed. She brings a rare, refreshing honesty to a conversation that’s long overdue: why positive thinking culture can quietly disconnect people from their own inner truth, and what to do instead. Spring is the perfect time to explore this. Audiences are already asking, “Why isn’t this working for me?” Lydia helps them understand that real transformation isn’t about thinking harder or “manifesting more.” It’s about listening to the quiet conflict between the mind and the heart, shedding inherited beliefs that no longer fit, and building an inside-out life.
