Live from ASTA Expo 2026, Josh Parnell sits down with Lola Schmidt of Schmidt Auto Care and J'anvieu Parnell, founder of Limitless Ladies, to talk about self leadership, identity, relationships, and leading with purpose. J'anvieu Parnell shares her journey from counseling to creating a community where women can support and encourage one another. Lola offers practical advice for working with a spouse, including setting boundaries, defining roles, creating separate workspaces, and knowing when to seek outside help. They also reflect on the Refuge women’s retreat in Montana, choosing faith over fear, staying connected intentionally, and taking the first step toward purpose. The episode also includes details about an upcoming two day leadership training at Schmidt Auto Care on April 9 and 10, 2027.
