From Fear to Friendship: The 30-Year Journey of an Interracial Women's Circle What does it really take for women across race, identity, and experience to move from awkward conversations to real friendship? In this episode, I talk with two people I deeply respect—Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Reel—about a women's circle I'm part of  that's been meeting for nearly 30 years. What started as a conference breakout session turned into something far more rare: a space where white women and women of color stayed in relationship through grief, anger, mistakes, growth, and joy. We talk about confidentiality and why it matters. About staying at the table when things get uncomfortable. About what happens when people don't feel alone anymore. And about the difference between talking about race and actually knowing people whose lives are shaped by it. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. And it's a reminder that real connection doesn't come from slogans or training slides—it comes from time, trust, and being willing to keep showing up. We share raw, transformative experiences that took us from initial fear and distrust to deep, meaningful friendships. The episode explores the group's origins, the critical role of confidentiality, and the hard truths they've confronted about race, privilege, and solidarity. You'll learn the challenges and rewards of having tough conversations about race and how these led to profound support and solidarity during life's toughest moments.   Timestamps & Key Segments: 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 01:10 Meet the Guests: Julie O'Mara and Dr. Sid Real 04:45 The Women's Circle: Origins and Purpose 12:38 Confidentiality and Trust Building 20:02 Personal Stories and Experiences 27:54 Challenges and Learnings in DEI 35:50 Standing Up and Women's Circle Support 36:57 Building Comfort and Social Connections 38:26 Shared Experiences and Mutual Support 41:33 Assumptions and Learning Moments 54:00 Starting and Sustaining a Circle 01:01:12 Final Thoughts and Contact Information Guest Bio:Julie O'Mara is coauthor of the free Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB): Standards for Organizations Around the world along with Alan Richter, PhD, and Nene Molefi.

Ever thought it might be possible to stay in Paris for 20 nights without paying rent? In this episode, Annie Sargent chats with Liz Van Montfort, a traveler who's cracked the code on home exchange—the savvy way to explore France (or anywhere!) without breaking the bank. Liz shares how she spent three weeks in a Parisian apartment during the Rugby World Cup using Guest Points, plus a night in a 17th-century Dijon hotel, all while avoiding Airbnb's pitfalls. Listen to this episode ad-free Liz breaks down the two types of home exchanges: reciprocal swaps (you stay in their home, they stay in yours) and Guest Points, a flexible system where you earn points by hosting others and spend them on stays worldwide. No fancy house required—Liz's Christchurch townhouse (complete with a communal pool!) has attracted exchanges from Sydney to Provence. She reveals how to prep your home, from welcome booklets to leaving local treats, and why guests often leave the place cleaner than they found it. But why ditch Airbnb? Liz's Barcelona nightmare—stranded with luggage after a last-minute cancellation—will make you think twice. Home exchange offers verified members, insurance, and backup plans if things go wrong. Annie adds that it's perfect for slow travelers, families, and anyone tired of tourist traps. You'll live like a local, with kitchens, laundries, and neighborhood cafés at your fingertips. After the chat, Annie dives into Paris 2026 updates: the Tour Triangle skyscraper, Louis Vuitton's Champs-Élysées hotel, and the Place de la Concorde's pedestrian makeover.

Send us a textIf you've been waiting for the “right time” to talk…You're not alone.A lot of couples don't look like they're falling apart. From the outside, life looks fine. But inside, there's a low-grade tension that never really leaves. You go to bed next to each other. You get through the day. You smile. And you keep telling yourself:“I'll bring it up when things feel less tense.”“If I just give it more time, it'll settle down.”“I don't want to ruin a good day by bringing it up.”“If I push, I'll drive them further away.”In this episode, we name what's really happening: hope has quietly turned into a coping strategy.Hope can be beautiful. It can give you courage. But hope without skills often becomes waiting without change, and the cost shows up later as resentment, emotional distance, blowups, or that hollow feeling of “we're fine… but we're not close.”In this episode, we cover:Why tension usually doesn't “blow up”… it lingers and accumulatesThe difference between patience and avoidanceThe fears hiding underneath “I'll just wait” (and why they make sense)How emotional safety gets fragile, and couples start freezing over what isn't workingWhy “nothing is blowing up” doesn't mean things are getting betterThe myth that “once they change, I'll feel better”Why the goal isn't to get your partner to change, it's to change how the relationship handles hard momentsThe real skill most couples are missing: equal exchange (sharing + listening without correction, defense, or collapse)Why listening is one of the hardest relationship skills (because it requires holding emotional tension)What actually creates movement: hope + skills + behavior changeA question we ask that might shift everything: “Am I genuinely hopeful right now… or am I in denial?”Because waiting often feels like protection. But if you're reading moods, monitoring body language, and holding your breath for the right moment, you're not protecting connection. You're protecting against discomfort.And that discomfort doesn't go away. It just gets more expensive.Try this journal prompt (from the episode): I was hopeful when ________, but deep down, I was really ________.Examples:“I was hopeful when they said ‘we're fine,' but deep down I was really afraid we were avoiding the truth.”“I was hopeful when I stayed quiet to keep the peace, but deep down I was really disappearing.”“I was hopeful when they apologized, but deep down I was really needing to feel understood, not just comforted.”Want help figuring out your next step? If you're stuck in the hoping phase, drowning in overthinking, or afraid of making the wrong move next, you don't need more time.

Have you ever heard a speaker share a story and have one of these reactions:#1: Wow, I really feel connected to what this person is saying. I have a new perspective on my own situation.-OR-#2: Why is this person telling this story? I don't get how this relates to the rest of their content or why I should care or this feels icky.You don't want to end up being the speaker where the people in the audience are having the second reaction.You want your stories to have purpose and meaning and be of service to your audience.This conversation came directly from questions we hear all the time from women in our Thought Leader Academy:Is sharing my personal story self-indulgent?How vulnerable is too vulnerable?Can storytelling cross the line into manipulation?The short answer? Yes, it can. And that's exactly why how you tell your story matters just as much as what you share.In this episode, Diane Diaz and I dig into:What makes a story feel authentic vs. forced or manipulativeWhy stories should always be in service of the audience, not the speakerCommon storytelling mistakes (TMI, rags-to-riches formulas, shaming language, and oversmoothing the edges)How vulnerability builds trust - when it's grounded in reflection and purposeWhy imperfect stories often create the strongest audience connectionWe also share real examples—from our own speaking experiences and from Thought Leader Academy clients—of how telling the truth (even when it doesn't make you look perfect) can be incredibly powerful, freeing, and impactful.If you want your stories to:Deepen audience connectionBuild credibility instead of skepticismSupport your message instead of distracting from it…this episode will help you rethink how you use storytelling in your talks, podcasts, and brand messaging.(This episode originally aired as episode 350 on October 9, 2023.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/mistake/Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxDiane Diaz = https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianediazRelated Podcast Episodes:Episode 337: Sharing Your Story as a Catalyst for Transformation with Karen KeeneEpisode 341: Unearthing Your Unique Message: Discovering What Makes You Stand Out with Judy CarlsonEpisode 92: Deconstructing My TEDx Talk: Why We're Uncomfortable with Women in Power

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re not alone; women of every age and stage struggle with body image, but healing happens in safe, supportive community. Change is possible, even if you’ve felt stuck for years—the journey may be ongoing, but God’s freedom is real and available for you, too.
