Welcome back to Life In Bold, the show where I get to connect you to inspiring people who are doing the work to live the lives they've imagined. Today, we've got Bryetta Calloway who is a marketing expert and stage performer who has a deep understanding of the human experience, especially around confidence, self-love, self-awareness and understanding, and inner peace. Today we talk about finding peace in our lives, and we get into the things that block us from that peace. My favorite piece was a chat we had about body image, fatness, and body acceptance in the human experience. We also talk about New Year's Resolutions and Goal Setting as it relates to self-love and self-respect. THANK YOU for listening!! New Episodes Every Other Monday! Subscribe here to get the latest!

This week in the United States, we experienced yet another school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. 6 people have died as a result. It's upsetting and it's frustrating, but today it caused some reflection within me and helped me to think about who I want to be, how I want to show up, and what I want to do in these situations as they come up. There is a photo of me that I came across of myself protesting in Washington D.C. where I'm holding up a sign that says "Never Again." There is a fire in my eyes in that photo that I miss dearly, and in today's episode, I explore the what, why, and how behind my political exhaustion-- and how I plan to bring back my spark. Today's challenge is to do your own reflection-- are you cool with the level of action you're currently taking? Are you satisfied with your level of involvement? Take some time to breathe and reflect, and then let's take some action. I hope you enjoy this side of me, I don't always get political on Life in Bold, but I hope you find some meaning in this episode. If you do, it always means the world when folks share feedback directly with me or on social media. If you would like to hear more of me, follow Life in Bold wherever you're listening! We've got new episodes coming out every other Monday. For even more, you can follow me on Instagram @benhawesshow or follow the Life in Bold podcast @Lifeinboldpod Have a great day, an even better week, and don't forget to live your life in Bold. Thanks! Ben Hawes #SchoolShooting #Gunviolence #NashvilleShooting #GetActive #EndGunViolence

Today's episode is a special one. Ben interviews New York City Poet Bee C.W. about their intersecting identities, experience growing up queer in NYC as a Gen Z, and authenticity and pride around their journey with tics and a stutter. Lots of ground to cover, but we got through it! If you listen to one podcast this week, make it to this one! On a personal note, this episode is so special to me (Ben) as a 30-year-old queer person because I got to connect with a person who grew up queer in America 12 years behind me. So wonderful to have that connection. Bee is 18 and I am 30. THANK YOU for listening!! New Episodes Every Other Monday! Subscribe here to get the latest! What are your thoughts on today's show?!

In this episode, I explore my relationship to my body image as it relates to things like my confidence, dating, and my willingness to put myself out there with pride. We explore body image in the gay and queer community as well as in my childhood and experience through childhood, teenhood, college, and my twenties. It's an honest recount of the many ways I have been taught and shown that my body is unacceptable, and rejection of that and an intentional power through that my body is what it is and how I need to accept it and allow myself to truly approach my body with love, respect, and compassion. We chat about my love of fitness, and my experiences with blood pressure, ordering in, cooking at home, pandemic weight gain, and so much more. New Episodes Every Other Monday!

Today we get deep. We talk about putting out new work with confidence, releasing our fear of failure, and the importance of the feedback process in side hustles and creative projects. Michelle Arno is a California based artist, Etsy shop owner, YouTuber and Trixie Mattel fan. Hear her perspectives on her creative process.

Today we discuss how to find your target client base with Kelly Moran, founder of Little Rebellion. Little Rebellion is a flat rate copywriting copywriting service for women owned brands based in Portland, Oregon. Kelly zeroed in on women entrepreneurs as her dream clients because she felt strongly that the existing structures for employment, business, and marketing agencies didn't serve women as they should. It was that thought that helped her decide to start her own business during the pandemic serving women owned brands. Listen in to learn how you can do the same.
