Your closet might be the loudest story you're telling, even when you don't say a word. I'm sitting down with my fashion bestie and trusted truth-teller, Ikaterina “Kate” Kravchenko of  Kravchenko Styling, to unpack why getting dressed can feel weirdly emotional and why a closet cleanout can bring up memories, guilt, and identity all at once. We get into the pieces we keep because they mattered, and the pieces we keep because they cost money, plus the mindset shift that hits like a lightning bolt: everything in your home used to be money. Kate shares her journey from retail and sustainable fashion into personal styling, including what layoffs taught her about the illusion of “safe” jobs and how survival mode can shape every decision. We talk about building a wardrobe with structure using her style DNA framework, balancing foundation basics with statement and dopamine dressing pieces, and why women's bodies and lives change in seasons, not straight lines. Then we go full strategy: color analysis, dressing for the message you want to send, and why there's no “bad outfit,” only an outfit that doesn't match your goal. Kate also explains why real style transformation isn't one shopping trip, it's a process that often mirrors inner work like therapy, confidence building, and learning what you actually want. If you've been craving a more intentional wardrobe, sustainable style choices, and a calmer relationship with getting dressed, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who's in a transition. After you listen, leave a review and tell us what style question you want answered next.Send us Fan MailSupport the showSend us a textShop The Woman-Owned Wallet WebsiteWoman-Owned Brands all on WOW Directory!Find Grants Fast with SKIPFaire - List Your Business for WholesaleDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

How many of us lie about a friend's bad haircut? Or concede to a restaurant choice that you don't like? It's fine, you say.In this week's episode, I'm talking about Don Miguel Ruiz's first agreement: be impeccable with your word. Too many of us throw away words. Too many of us just say things to say them. There's lots of word salad being tossed around (see what I did there? Haha) What might the world be like if all of us practice meaning what we said and said, as accurately as possible, what we mean?In the age of fake intelligence and misinformation, it's more important now than ever to be impeccable with our words. To be honest and true about what we are trying to say. Listen in to hear an example of someone not being impeccable with their word and how we might practice saying what we really mean and truly meaning what we say.Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3NmlshGX4ijHPXmFIgT1Nu⁠ Apple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spiritual-grit/id1497436520⁠  ===============Today's poems/ Books mentioned:Tarot/Oracle Card: The Knight of Cups (Reversed)Poem: “Elephant God” by Hafiz=============== Courses / Exclusive Content / Book Mentioned:Subscribe to “Adventures in Midlife” newsletter: ⁠leslieann.substack.com⁠Instagram: @leslieannhobayan Email: ⁠leslieann@hobayanhouse.comYoutube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxAeQWRRsSo5E7PBJdZUeoEAYXnAtuyRy⁠

How to Say What You Mean Without Being Mean by Jan D Thomas https://www.amazon.com/How-What-Mean-Without-Being/dp/1964362792 Jandthomasbooksandpaint.com Your relationships are important and how you communicate with people will determine most aspects of your life. W hen your final word is spoken and your last breath is drawn, nothing will matter except God and those people whom you have loved. Only that love will last an eternity. You will see them again if they are in a right relationship with Christ, but all of those things that you thought were so important to you will be dust and ashes. Nothing more. About the author Jan D. Thomas is a New Mexico native. Born at the Santa Rita copper mine near Silver City, he heard the blast of the first atomic bomb test at Trinity Site. Moving later to Los Alamos, the birthplace of the atomic age, he lived for a few years as a child in northern New Mexico, but returned to his birthplace, where he graduated from high school. After four years in the United States Air Force, he returned from spending nearly three years in Spain to attend the University of New Mexico. He also has an MDiv degree and retired from a career in the New Mexico Corrections Department, where he was a warden. He has worked with prison ministry groups, helped found a faith-based program in New Mexico, and became the first National Director of Celebrate Recovery Inside, the prison application of the program. He was married to his late wife, Fern, for 54 years before she passed away in 2019. He has three children, six grandchildren, and fourteen great-grandchildren. Having lived in the Mesilla Valley for over thirty years, he spends much of his time painting and writing. As an artist, he has painted over 200 paintings and has published a number of books, poems, and essays.

In this powerful episode of Say What You Mean with Jéan P the MC, we sit down with mother and daughter, Kara Garner and K'Lynn Carter, for a real and heartfelt conversation about growth, resilience, and generational impact.Kara opens up about her journey as a teen mother during a time when Canton, Ohio made national headlines—sharing the realities of stigma, pressure, and what it took to push forward without the support systems we often talk about today. She reflects on how those experiences shaped her into the woman, mother, and leader she is now.K'Lynn, now a senior at McKinley High School, represents the next chapter of that story—thriving as a student-athlete, leader, and creative. From basketball to media and academics, she shares how her mother's journey has influenced her mindset, her drive, and her vision for the future.Together, this conversation highlights what it truly means to turn pain into purpose—and how one generation's strength can create opportunities for the next.

Hello to you listening in Bow-Edison, Skagit County, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. “Being underestimated because of gender (or any other reason) is an advantage when you're a spy on the street trying to move around unobserved. Being underestimated is a problem for everybody when you are a woman in a national security community trying to make yourself heard about something important you have discovered.” [The Sisterhood - The Secret History of Women at the CIA by Liza Mundy]   Reading those words from The Sisterhood - The Secret History of Women at the CIA reminded me of all the ways in which women feel underestimated, personally as well as professionally. How do we correct that? It starts with unlocking the power of clarity and intentionality that is Your Who. We each have a particular story at the core of our lives: our Origin Story. Our Origin Story reveals how we got from There to Here. When we own our Origin Story we stand in courage and confidence. How so? By trusting the hardships we've faced and achievements we've won we connect with our self-worth, what we stand for, what we won't stand for, what we no longer fear. We have something to say because we discovered WHO we are. This gives us the power to be heard and listened to. CTA: If you're curious about how to make yourself heard by creating Your Who, email me (info@quartermoonstoryarts.net) OR tap the Link in the Episode Notes to schedule a no-obligation Discovery Chat.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Sometimes it's hard to say what you mean. Oren Jay Sofer says, "Communication is a learnable skill and it's one of the most powerful levers for making change in your life and the world." Non-violent communication is about taking responsibility for what we are experiencing using empathy, deep listening, know how to make requests.// This episode is a replay from the Sonya Looney Show. It originally aired October 22, 2020. //Author and renowned meditation instructor Oren Jay Sofer regularly teaches a mindful approach to non-violent communication. spent two and a half years of living as an Anagarika (renunciate) at branch monasteries in the Ajahn Chah Thai Forest lineage. Today, his teaching combines classical Buddhist training with the accessible language of secular mindfulness.  Since the early 2000s, Oren has had a deep interest in the relationship between contemplative practice and communication. A graduate of the BayNVC North American Leadership Training, he has taught classes and workshops in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) nationally since 2006. His innovative retreats and online programs in Mindful Communication offer one of the only opportunities in the U.S today to explore the intersection between formal meditation practice, Right Speech and NVC.  Oren  is the founder and Guiding Teacher of Next Step Dharma, an innovative online course focused on bringing the tools of meditation to daily life, and co-founder of Mindful Healthcare.  Oren has created mindfulness programs for organizations, companies, and apps including Apple, Kaiser Permanente, Lumosity, Calm, 10% Happier, Simple Habit and others.I loved his book, Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication.  In the book, a main theme is that every thought or feeling is there to try to meet a need.  If you can try to figure out what need your thoughts are tied to, it's easier to articulate what you need to those around you.  It's also useful when listening to someone in a disucssion or conflict to tease out what need they are trying to have met.  I also enjoyed learning about conflict and viewing it as a way to deepen relationships. I also learned that non-violent communication and conflict resolution isn't necessarily to try to get someone to do things your way, it's about deepening understanding of one another because sometimes we simply can't agree to have the same viewpoint.   Non-violent communication has a framework of observation, the feeling, the needs and values to be met, and the request.Three questions you can ask yourself are what happened, how do I feel about it, and why?I also loved learning about how to use mindfulness in listening and communication as well as how to ground yourself in your own body when tensions rise.Topics Discussed in the Podcast from childhood actor to meditation instructor4 types of conflict avoidanceself-empathytools for internal pressureNo mud, no lotusaddressing the voiceless and gender constructshow to make requests of othersResourcesOren Jay Sofer's websiteGet Oren's book: Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Cole, contributing to the track “Only You.” She breaks down how the collaboration happened and what that moment meant for her career.Of course, it wouldn't be the podcast without a few laughs — Light Da Flow Minista also brought spiked popcorn to the studio, and let's just say Zach was especially impressed with the Grey Goose popcorn.It's a conversation about hip-hop, storytelling, community, and purpose with one of Canton's most dynamic voices.

Episode Description:The words we choose matter more than we think.In this episode, we explore how unclear, emotional, or inconsistent language can create confusion for dogs—and how simple shifts in the way we communicate can transform behavior. Instead of focusing on what we don't want, we'll talk about how to clearly teach what we do want.You'll learn why dogs struggle with vague corrections like “no,” how to replace them with direction, and how clarity reduces stress in the nervous system—for both you and your dog. When expectations are communicated clearly, behavior improves because the dog finally understands the assignment.If you've ever felt like your dog “should know better,” this episode will help you reframe that thought and give you practical tools to communicate in a way your dog can truly understand.Clear words create calm behavior.dogspeak101.comdogspeakgeek.thinkific.compatreon.com/dogspeak

Hello to you listening in Bethesda, Maryland!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories With Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. When I launched my communication consulting practice, Quarter Moon Story Arts, I established a uniquely forward-looking, story-based business founded on the power of story to profoundly and positively shift our awareness, our behavior, even our culture. Like magic, the sorcery of stories is this: they help each of us to be seen and heard, to understand and be understood.As the eldest of 7 children, an incest survivor, nurse, attorney, litigation consultant, and professional storyteller I had to teach myself again and again how to be seen, heard, understood, and listened to. How did I do that? I learned to tell my personal and professional stories in my own words with my own values in my own way. Always it was a now-or- never chance to become a stubbornly courageous speaker willing to give life to my authentic voice.  My mission is language. Language is power. Your stories, visions, ideas, and messages are powerful; but only if they are brought to life. What if you could tell the story that advances your business, creates clarity in life choices, persuades your clients, or produces effective results from your ideas?CTA: If you have a desire to say what you mean and mean what you say, come as you are and change inside Quarter Moon Story Arts.Book a Discovery Call and get your story going => Email me =>  Info@quartemoonstoryarts.netYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

On Episode 191 of Say What You Mean with Jéan P the MC, we sit down with K.Drews, a rising hip-hop artist from Alliance, Ohio, for a real, unfiltered conversation that moves effortlessly between laughs, reflection, and purpose.We kick things off with a laid-back icebreaker, talking about the past holiday season, reflecting on the year behind us, and sharing some of the most random (and unexpectedly deep) things we've discovered scrolling TikTok. The conversation naturally turns to Alliance, Ohio—breaking down misconceptions about the city, including the surprising idea that people think there aren't Black folks there—and setting the tone for a funny but honest discussion.From there, we dive into K.Drews' story and music journey: growing up in a smaller city, finding his voice, balancing melody with raw storytelling, and staying consistent when the spotlight isn't guaranteed. We also unpack what “No Limit” really means—not as a finished project, but as a mindset and philosophy that guides his approach to life, music, and personal growth.We close the episode with P's Positive Point, sharing quotes that keep us grounded and motivated, bringing the conversation full circle with reflection, intention, and forward energy.If you're looking for an episode that blends humor, honesty, and real-life perspective, this one delivers.

As we close out 2025, we want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who tapped in, supported, shared, and showed love to Say What You Mean with Jéan P the MC.This year, we dropped 24 episodes featuring a wide range of guests—artists, creatives, organizers, entrepreneurs, and community voices—all highlighting what's really going on in Canton, Ohio and beyond.

My new book, Live Like You Give a Damn, comes out December 9th, and I'm so excited for you to finally read it. And right after that, on December 18th, I'm teaching a free workshop to help you reset, reconnect with yourself, and head into the new year with clarity. In today's episode, we're digging into communication; specifically the two paths you have when things get tricky: the courageous, connection-building path of hard conversations, and the protective, peace-preserving path of grey rocking. Knowing which one to choose is the skill. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why hard conversations matter and how they're the backbone of healthy relationships How to recognize when connection is possible versus when self-protection needs to come first What grey rocking actually is and why it's not “cold,” it's strategic How to choose the right communication lane instead of defaulting to old patterns An example of grey rocking with a difficult family member during gatherings Communication isn't one-size-fits-all — it's about discernment. Some relationships deserve your clarity, vulnerability, and effort. Others require neutrality, distance, and zero emotional investment. The magic is learning the difference and choosing the approach that keeps you grounded, sane, and true to yourself.

After moving to Canton in 2012 and searching for a taste of home, he took matters into his own hands—experimenting, researching, and refining a recipe that captured the real-deal NYC slice.He teamed up with Ryan Miller of Deli Ohio, built a loyal following through years of pop-ups, and eventually launched Mike's Pizza as part of a growing food community on Fourth Street.In this episode, we talk:

From DIY tours and low-budget grinds to witty wordplay and brand building, Puff opens up about the hustle, the humor, and the balance it takes to make music and make a living.The two dive into everything from tour stories and side hustles at Mike's Pizza to monetizing creativity in the digital era. Along the way, Jéan reflects on a recent surprise appearance in the Are We Dating The Same Guy group (yes, it's as wild as it sounds), and the city's energy after McKinley's loss to Massillon gets its own moment of hometown talk and laughs.To close it out, P's Positive Point reminds us that success isn't about perfection — it's about staying grounded and genuine, even when life's a balance beam.

Today for episode 279 we have the pleasure of releasing the audio portion of our late September interview with Canton, Ohio artist and podcaster Jéan P The MC! After following his work for a little over a year we were thrilled to chat with him in person from Canton's incredible Hub Art Factory. Our primary points of discussion included his love for the city, giving back to the community and how he has evolved as an artist in his 17 year plus journey.
