You'll learn what judges are actually listening for in each, the common mistakes that sink scores, how to speak from your values without sounding polarizing, how to sound “hired” (not just hopeful), how to show real warmth without trying too hard, and how to stay composed when an unexpected zinger lands.   Learn the Full Interview Mastery System (complete in a weekend): howtowinyourpageant.com/interview    DM ‘365Q' for our 30 Page Free Interview Workbook: www.instagram.com/powerhousepageantry    Listen to Part 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6kgqMPpcu4mdZbgUpiRl36?si=-Z7YpjbBT32T5QPpp8i1jQ      Follow Me on IG: www.instagram.com/meganswansonrhodes    Watch on Youtube www.youtube.com/@powerhousepageantry   PODCAST ESSENTIALS & GEAR I USE Blue Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3ZodLfr  Webcam https://a.co/d/8lKR6TA   Silver Yeti Glitter Wrap: https://amzn.to/3LiTSjR  Awesome Computer-Attached Light https://amzn.to/3P5WByh    As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.   Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3nbUVyQqfT5CLYSZO6wWgs?si=abf5437f5e5c413b   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-powerhouse-podcast-how-to-win-your-pageant-how-to/id1448191693  On this podcast, we talk about… pageant interview questions, how to answer pageant interview, pageant platform example, current events pageant questions, pageant storytelling, pageant coaching, miss interview tips, identity work for women, faith and identity, purpose over performance, self worth vs achievement, you are not what you do, values alignment, limiting beliefs, belief reprogramming, identity shift, core state change, inner child work, mindset reset, confidence from identity, purpose driven life, Christian identity coaching, life after pageants, life after big goal, rebuild confidence after failure, how to find purpose again, sustainable success habits, daily check-in routine, evening reflection practice, morning identity routine, goal setting that sticks, break perfectionism paralysis, progress over perfection, achievement addiction, identity work, mindset coaching, pageant mindset, dopamine trap, burnout recovery, confidence, Christian coaching, neurolinguistic programming  

In this special episode, co-hosts Teena and Jim kick off the new season with a unique twist: instead of interviewing a guest, they dive into a reflective exercise designed to help them—and listeners—learn to delight in the often-overlooked aspects of life. Drawing from Jim's creative practice, they each choose something they typically resist or undervalue (for Teena, restoring order at home; for Jim, baseball) and walk through a six-step process to cultivate appreciation and gratitude. The conversation is rich with personal stories, honest struggles, and thoughtful insights about attention, creativity, and the hidden gifts in everyday routines. Along the way, Teena and Jim explore how their perspectives have been shaped by past experiences, how they see echoes of the divine in mundane tasks, and how embracing new disciplines can lead to deeper joy and connection. Listeners will come away inspired to notice the beauty in the ordinary, reflect on their own narratives, and perhaps try the exercise themselves. The episode sets a warm, introspective tone for the season, promising more meaningful conversations to come. Learning to Delight in God's World (Especially the Overlooked Parts) There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world, that is not intended to make us rejoice. - John Calvin There are many aspects of God's world that we often overlook or even resist delighting in. But with intentionality and attentiveness, we can cultivate a deep appreciation and gratitude toward God, even for the things we typically ignore or don't typically value. Here are six practices to help you cultivate delight in God's gifts and see the overlooked goodness in God's world. 1. See it through the eyes of someone who loves it. Borrow someone else's affection for and let their appreciation awaken your own curiosity. 2. Learn its context. Explore its history, purpose, or ecosystem. Understanding often unlocks awe. 3. Truly experience it. Don't just observe it from afar. Step into it. Try it. Engage your senses. 4. Prayerfully Contemplate. Pay attention to the intricacies of it, who is impacted by it, and hidden brilliance within your things. Let that detail lead you into worship and thanksgiving. 5. Examine your story about it. What's your personal narrative around this thing? Identify the ways your personal narratives prevent you from seeing the hidden goodness. Even if there are some truly broken aspects of your “thing,” God's grace is always at work and there are likely stories of people who are resisting that evil. Or it's merely a good aspect of God's world that has been twisted and is not being used the way God wants it. 6. Look for the echoes of God. What does this thing reflect about God? Where is His beauty, order, or creativity, or providence hidden inside?

What do you do when things don't go to plan on stage? A tech glitch, a wardrobe mishap, a tiny audience when you expected a full house? This week, I'm fresh from 4 speaking gigs in 4 days — and let's just say, the curveballs came flying! In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes to share 5 real-life moments that didn't go as expected and exactly how I handled them. You'll hear:

After a much-needed break, we're back—and we're getting real about why we pressed pause and how to come back stronger. Narelle shares her parotid cancer journey, radiation, and a scary post-treatment blood clot, plus what recovery taught her about letting go of control and living in the present. Susan talks about burnout, dog-sledding in Svalbard, an Iceland blizzard rescue, and why stepping away actually made her writing better. Together, Narelle Todd and S.E. Smith unpack practical self-care for authors: deciding where to spend your limited energy, embracing seasons in business, and using mindset tools to navigate tough times. We also discuss Narelle's book, It's All Good (Except When It's Not): Practical Mindset Tools for Navigating Life's Challenges, and how authors can apply it day to day. If you've felt guilty about slowing down—or you're rebuilding after a curveball—this episode will encourage and equip you.

I've been laughing at how quickly all my best-laid plans just kind of went sideways. I thought I had this trip with my dogs mapped out perfectly with the timing, the route, and the stops. But then, I encountered one little hiccup after another. A tire sensor acting up, late departures, and rolling into towns I didn't even plan to see. I somehow even ended up in a fancy hotel with two German shepherds in tow. None of it was what I pictured, but it actually turned out better. As frustrating as change can feel in the moment, I've found it brings unexpected gifts like extra time with loved ones, new confidence in my dogs (and myself), and the simple joy of realizing we can handle more than we think. That's what today's Wise Walk is all about. It's embracing the open road, giving gratitude for the surprises, and seeing how getting out of our comfort zone deepens our rhythm with ourselves and those we care about. Where in your life are you navigating the metaphorical open road? Is it requiring you to embrace change, embrace possibilities, and get resourceful because the unexpected is happening and you have to navigate that unexpectedness? As you ponder and reflect, are you gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and of others? What lessons are you learning as you navigate your open road, your journey, or how you want to move from point A to point B? Where in your life are you open to your own rhythm and open to the open road? When you get curveballs in life or a delay of game, can you give gratitude for how you embrace the change? Can you give gratitude for the possibilities that surface from that change? Can you see what's possible out of it and recognize that this was a blessing in disguise, not what you set out to do, not your original plan, but something even better? As you step outside your comfort zone and embrace the change and possibilities in front of you, are you giving gratitude for those unexpected blessings? Are you giving gratitude for how you rise to the level of your own expectations? Are you giving celebration and kudos to those around you who rise to the level of the expectations that you set? Where in your life are you giving gratitude and appreciation for how you are navigating and staying in rhythm and flow as you deepen your own experience? I'd love to hear where in your life you're giving gratitude and appreciation for how you're navigating and staying in rhythm and flow. I have so much to give gratitude for including you, this podcast, and our weekly Wise Walks.  Thank you for joining me, and I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Until next Thursday, keep your Stride On! In this episode: [02:14] My big lesson on this journey was the idea about embracing change and possibilities. I had intentions of leaving on a certain date, but I kept getting thrown curveballs. [03:08] I'm goal-oriented and having my plans changed was frustrating. In reality there was no reason that I couldn't pivot, and I got to spend extra quality time with my family. [04:35] The unexpected extra time that I got in St Augustine was really beautiful for me, my family, and my dogs. [05:45] I ended up stopping in Mobile, Alabama and staying at a very nice downtown hotel. I had some anxiety about the whole thing, but the dogs behaved perfectly. [07:39] I learned to embrace change when I'm in an environment that I didn't anticipate. The outcome was beautiful, and we were in a rhythm together. [08:36] This set us up with the idea of possibilities and being able to handle whatever was before us. [09:59] I also ended up connecting with a friend in Wichita Falls, Texas. It was an unexpected, awesome blessing to meet up with my friend on a road trip. [12:32] I had targeted destinations, but now I've learned it's better to go with the flow. [13:35] Embracing change and trying new things gets us out of our comfort zone. This expanded my understanding of myself and of my dogs and their capabilities. I have to give them more credit. [15:48] How often in our life can we embrace this mentality where we step out of our comfort zone and embrace change and then give gratitude for it? Memorable Quotes: “The best moments aren't the ones I planned. They're the ones that showed up when I finally stopped trying to control every detail.” - Mary Tess “I am gaining so much, and the dogs are gaining so much. We are gaining as a family unit by learning the rhythm of the road and learning what we're capable of while inviting transformation and going with the flow.” - Mary Tess “The rhythm of the road is a lot like the rhythm of life. It can be messy and unpredictable, but full of hidden gifts.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram

Imagine being literally exiled from your homeland for telling the truth. Dr. Pardis Mahdavi's story will stop you in your tracks. From witnessing Iran's underground sexual revolution to being kicked out of the country for writing about it, to losing her 20-year academic career as a university president: she's mastered the art of reinventing herself when life throws devastating curveballs. In this raw conversation, she reveals how she went from feeling like she belonged nowhere (rejected by both Iran and Iranian-Americans) to discovering the two powerful tools that saved her from every major life crisis: curiosity and collaboration. You'll discover why most of us skip the crucial first step when facing major transitions (hint: it's not about immediately taking action), how to stop performing for validation from your adult children, and why the voice in your head telling you you're "not enough" or "too much" might actually be pointing you toward your next evolution. Whether you're navigating empty nest syndrome, career transitions, or feeling like your body is betraying you in midlife, Pardis shares the anthropologist's secret to transforming devastating setbacks into launching pads for your most authentic life yet.   Learn More About Dr. Pardis Mahdavi:   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/mahdavipardis  Website ➜ https://www.pardismahdavi.com/  Thank you to our show sponsors!
