Self-leadership can be lonely. It’s hard to do the thing no one else wants to do. That no one else is willing to do. But it turns out you’re not alone. There are others showing up to life in extraordinary ways – and getting through hard shit with humor and grace. Join Anne Roche, former criminal defense attorney turned life leadership coach, as she finds the others – those who laugh as they lead, dance as they fight, and allow generosity to outshine fear. Let’s live through this, together.

I’m excited to start off Season 2 with Teresa Goines. Everything Teresa talks about – acting from love, standing in community, taking small steps, and letting go of the outcome – shows up in every interview I did this season. These amazing people are proof that every person has the power to make a difference.
At 19, a waitress in a small diner, Teresa swore she’d never end up owning a restaurant. Today, Teresa is the founder and CEO of Old Skool Cafe, a jazz-themed supper club run by at risk youth in San Francisco.
How did she get there? Listen to Teresa talk about how her next job, a correction officer for juveniles, changed the trajectory of her life. Hearing the stories of kids wanting more in their life but not having access to it broke her heart and left her with a calling to do more. She eventually founded Old Skool Café which provides training, jobs and a second chance at life for youth coming out of incarceration and foster care.
How did she go from thinking something to doing something? From seeing a problem to being part of the solution? Teresa talks about the small steps she took, without knowing the outcome, that built upon each other and eventually led to a platform where kids could know their value, gain economic freedom, use their voice, and break the cycle of incarceration for their own children.
Seeing gold in others and supporting what’s already there is at the heart of everything Teresa does. It’s not always been easy – there were moments where the task felt too big, the change too small, the work impossible. But faith and love strengthened her belief that kids could thrive and have the life they were meant to have if she just kept moving forward.
Teresa leaves us with a call to action: don’t ignore the pricks in your heart. Take steps, be curious, try something – even if it’s messy, even if you don’t feel qualified – because every step will help you take the next step.
Come – join us. Let’s live through this together.
