Welcome back to Women of Influence — I’m JaLynn Manser, and in this energizing episode I sit down with Lizy Hoeffer: a powerhouse mortgage loan originator, mom of three, community leader, and someone who literally started at a front desk and built her way to the top. Lizy is known for bringing white-glove service, relentless follow-up, and a servant’s heart to every client — and she shares how a simple mantra (passion changes everything) guided decisions that turned dead leads into a national-level career.

We dive into:

✅How starting as a receptionist taught Lizy to add value and find opportunity
✅Real examples of creative problem-solving (yes — a $64,000 seller credit and removing a debt that unlocked a mortgage)
✅Practical rules for work-life balance that actually work for busy moms
✅Why gratitude, relationship focus, and service are the secret weapons to avoid burnout and build legacy
✅Actionable takeaways for agents, entrepreneurs, and women planning their financial future

In this powerful episode of Women of Influence, JaLynn sits down with Dom Blonska — registered nurse, women’s health & fitness coach, and founder of Define by Dom — to unpack what real, sustainable health looks like for women.

Dom reveals her personal journey from misdiagnosis and Hashimoto’s to remission, explains why restrictive diets and one-size-fits-all “fixes” fail so many women, and walks us through practical, science-aware steps to rebalance hormones: nutrition-first strategies, gut health basics, sleep, movement, and trauma-informed healing.

We also talk about how to advocate for your care when practitioners dismiss you, the surprising role of mindset and routine, and why nourishing whole foods — not deprivation — leads to lasting change.

If you’re tired, bloated, or confused about hormones, this episode offers compassion, actionable advice, and the encouragement to take your health back.
