Healing, Leadership and Relentless Optimism with Rya Hazelwood and Lisa Manzo
Before Relentless Optimism became a keynote, a message or a movement ... it was my survival strategy.
This conversation on The Phoenix Mind podcast explores some of the deeply personal experiences that shaped my entire philosophy. Lisa and I talk honestly about the heartbreaks that reshaped my life: from emotional abuse and betrayal to choosing peace over profit, reclaiming my identity and learning to trust myself again. These aren’t just stories; they’re the turning points that taught me how to live – and eventually, how to lead – with grounded, practical optimism.
If you’ve ever faced a moment that forced you to rebuild, this episode offers both truth and hope.
This is where the work began.
This is why the message matters.
Stay relentless.
