Today, I interview Catherine G. Lucas who opens up about losing her voice in the midst of a painful breakdown. In her late teens she was already standing on stage for public speaking competitions, but by the time her parents divorced during her university years, the weight of family wounds caught up with her. Instead of enjoying summer with friends, she found herself in an acute psychiatric ward, her world shattered and her voice silenced.Her breakthrough came much later, when she discovered that what had been called a breakdown could also be seen as an awakening. It took years of reframing and deep inner work to see her experience not as illness, but as a turning point with the potential for healing.Through mindfulness, patient advocacy, and writing her first book, In Case of Spiritual Emergency, Catherine began to speak from her whole self rather than hide in shame. Today she helps others step into their deeper calling, showing that finding your voice is not about perfection but about expressing the truth of who you are in a way that heals and uplifts.__________________Catherine G. Lucas is the author of four books on how to move successfully through crisis and harness the transformational power it holds. A former university professor, Catherine left her academic career behind to step into her soul's deeper calling, following a profound crisis of awakening.She went on to set up a UK charity and now helps people step into their deeper calling. Her media appearances include BBC Radio 4 and TimeWarner TV, and she regularly speaks internationally. More recently, Catherine has convened the highly acclaimed Birth the New Earth summit.__________________Find Catherine here:https://www.youtube.com/user/CatherineGLucashttps://www.catherine-g-lucas.com/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/https://www.co-creatingourfuture.world/free-gift-download/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Podcasting is a wild ride, and who better to ride along with us than Cassian Bellino? She's got this killer attitude that turns failures into stepping stones. Seriously, if you think you need a perfect setup to start podcasting, think again! Cassian talks about how she built her Instagram following to over 113,000 by just being herself and sharing her journey. It's not about how many people listen or follow; it's about the fact that you're doing what you love. We dive into the nitty-gritty of social media strategies, like how she engages her audience and drives them from Instagram to her podcast. And let's be real, if you're not experimenting and embracing the cringe, are you even trying? So, whether you're just starting out or looking to level up your podcast game, this episode is packed with gems that remind us it's all about attitude, authenticity, and that sweet, sweet journey of learning.Takeaways: Cass's secret weapon for success isn't her tools, but her killer attitude that keeps her going.

Send us a textA Melbourne winter. A real gap in kids' wool headwear. A founder with a finance brain and a product heart. That is how Acorn Kids began. In this episode, Fiona Savaris shares how a winter beanie line turned into a year-round headwear brand that stockists love, why wholesale still wins for volume, and how she just launched swimwear by leveraging prints, suppliers, and existing demand. If you care about cash flow, indent, stockist relationships, and direct-to-consumer growth, you will love this founder story.Learn how to use indent orders to protect margins and place smarter production betsSee how a wholesale-first strategy can fuel longevity and repeat stockist revenueSteal the exact assets that help retailers sell more hats, beanies, and swim hatsHear the behind-the-scenes of a category expansion into swimwear that makes senseThe spark: Fiona could not find warm, design-forward kids hats in Melbourne. She starts winter-only with wool beanies, mittens, and scarves made through a women's collective and Brunswick production.The shift: Summer hats unlock smoother cash flow. Parents need hats for daycare and kinder. Kids lose hats. Heads grow. DTC sells summer all year.The engine: Wholesale remains the volume play. Disciplined launch timing, no constant discounting, and shared lifestyle photography keep stockists profitable.The system: Present ranges on Brandboom, take indent orders, back winners, manage MOQs for healthy margins, and hold core SKUs for reorders.The expansion: From swim hats to swimwear. Same brand prints. Specialist makers. A product customers already asked for.The team: Two full-time. Outsourced specialists for Klaviyo email marketing, Meta ads, photography, design, and sales support. Agents plus trade shows to reconnect face-to-face.The real life: Growth is not linear. Family health, market swings, and pacing. How to keep building without burning out.Timestamps 00:00 Origin story in Melbourne. Wool headwear that kids actually want to wear 06:30 Winter-only to summer hats. The cash flow unlock 12:15 Wholesale first. Protecting stockists and full price sell-through 18:20 Indent explained.

The past year we've lost some great people in the podcasting family. Neil Guilarte and Todd Cochrane both died suddenly with no warning. If you're not prepared, you leave your family in a lurch adding to the stress of your passing. I bring on The Podcast Lawyer Gordon Firemark to explain some of the ins and outs (Gordon doesn't do wills and such, but can explain the process). As law change based on location you may want to hire someone locally, or use an online tool that adjusts to your location.Takeaways: If you don't have a will, your podcast may not end up where you want it to. Dying without instructions for your podcast can lead to chaos for your family. Setting up a will or a plan for your podcast is just plain smart business. Don't wait until it's too late; get your podcast plans in order now. Having a podcast prenup can save your loved ones from a lot of headaches later. Make sure your family knows how to access your podcast info if you suddenly vanish.

Because while your product matters, what matters more is how you get it into people's hands.We'll cover:Why “build it and they will come” is a dangerous mindset for product-based foundersThe role of retailers, stockists, and partners in helping you growThe power of distribution and getting your product in front of more peopleWhy supporting your stores and stockists is just as important as landing them in the first placeThe shift second-time founders make that first-time founders overlookWhat else matters more than the product itself (pricing, marketing, visibility, and customer experience)By the end, you'll know exactly where to shift your focus so your product doesn't just sit pretty on a shelf - it actually sells.✨ Free Training Alert: Want to build a 90-day roadmap for more sales and consistent profit (without relying on social media)?

Today, I interview Liz Sweet, who spent years feeling the pressure to be polished and perfect, even when it left her exhausted. Growing up in Los Angeles, she was encouraged to use her voice, but only her polished side was welcomed, while her vulnerable self was seen as “too much.”As she built her career leading trainings around the globe, Liz created a confident persona that looked successful on the outside but drained her on the inside. Her turning point came when she discovered a presence-based approach and realized that real confidence comes not from performance, but from connection.In this conversation, Liz shares what it meant to drop the mask, move through discomfort, and find the deep freedom of being seen as her whole self. She shows how presence—not polish—is what allows your true voice to shine.__________________Liz Sweet is the founder of Connected Speaking, where she helps professionals find real confidence in their voice and leadership. With over a decade of experience training nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, she knows how easily the pressure to prove yourself can take over—no matter your role.Liz also knows this struggle personally. For years, she battled speaking anxiety, relying on performance and polish to get by. Her turning point came when she discovered a presence-based approach that helped her move beyond fear and perfectionism into genuine confidence and ease.Today, Liz leads supportive group programs and coaching that go deeper than surface-level techniques. She guides people to feel at home in their voice, connect more authentically, and lead with greater impact.__________________Find Liz here:www.ConnectedSpeaking.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethasweet/ Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textBen and Scott discuss whether it's time for Mike Gundy to step down as Oklahoma State's head football coach after the team's devastating loss to Oregon.• Gundy transformed OSU from an afterthought into a nationally respected program with 15 Top 25 finishes• Last season was Gundy's worst as head coach with only three wins• The Oregon game exposed fundamental issues with coaching, discipline, and player development• OSU's performance compared to Oklahoma shows a significant gap despite more coaching changes at OU• Like Kodak's failure to adapt to digital photography, Gundy may be unable to take the program to the next level• The best path forward would be for Gundy to resign gracefully to preserve his legacy while allowing fresh leadership• A leadership change would likely improve recruiting and revitalize the program with new energy and innovation Support the showI ♥ my podcast host @Buzzsprout.

Today, I interview Renee Zukin who spent years caught in fear and intrusive thoughts that silenced her voice. For much of her life, anxiety and self-doubt made her question whether she could ever step into leadership or express herself authentically. She carried the weight of comparison, believing that courage belonged only to those who could do the big, bold things she thought she couldn't.Her turning point came when she redefined bravery. Instead of measuring herself against others, she began to see that courage could be found in the smallest steps — getting out of bed, showing up for work, or speaking honestly in the moment. That shift allowed her to reclaim her sense of worth and begin showing up in her life with more authenticity and compassion.Over time, Renee committed to the inner work, embraced mentors, and put her story into the world. She discovered that she didn't need to be “fixed” to move forward — every step of bravery became part of her healing and part of her voice.Today, she is an author, coach, and educator. Through her book Every Day I'm Brave, she shares her story along with journal prompts that guide others to reflect, find awareness, and take their own brave steps toward reclaiming their voice.__________________Renee Zukin is an author, educator, coach, and mental health advocate committed to doing the inner work that creates outer change. With more than 20 years of experience in education, writing, and entrepreneurship, she has also studied multiple psychological and healing modalities that sustain her and support those she works with.Passionate about creating safe spaces, Renee helps others use the written word as a tool for self-transformation and empowerment. Her debut book, Every Day, I'm Brave: Cultivating Resilience to Gain Freedom from Fear (Wonderwell Press, August 2025), is both memoir and manifesto — an invitation to embrace bravery in the face of fear and to reclaim a life of authenticity and connection.__________________Find Renee here:https://www.reneezukin.com/https://www.reneezukin.com/brave-bookSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Text me a message! I would love to hear from you!Have you ever felt like you're going through the motions in your spiritual life? Like you know Jesus is there, but you just can't seem to find Him beneath all the chaos? This week, I share a deeply personal story about a hidden house that taught me a profound spiritual lesson. For years, I drove past a spot where I knew a charming house with beautiful azaleas once stood, though it had become completely hidden by overgrowth. When development in our area finally cleared away the vegetation, revealing the house exactly where I remembered, God used this everyday moment to speak directly to my heart.The house represents our spiritual foundation - Jesus remains exactly where He's always been in our lives, even when we can't see Him clearly through life's distractions and demands. Drawing from the parable of the sower, I explore how the worries of life, wealth, and desires for other things can choke our spiritual fruitfulness. Sometimes we need radical pruning to cut back the excess and rediscover what truly matters.My recent journey through a chaotic season - with my husband's career transition, children growing up, new work responsibilities, and ministry development - left me feeling disconnected from my spiritual center. Yet beneath it all, I knew by faith that Jesus remained my foundation. This episode is an invitation to examine what might be obscuring your view of God and consider what needs pruning in your spiritual life.Whether you're thriving in your faith or feeling lost in the undergrowth, this message will encourage you to return to the simplicity of knowing whose you are.

Send us a textAbundance Mindset Isn't Woo — It's Your Business SuperpowerIs “abundance” just another fluffy buzzword? Nope. In fact, your mindset may be the difference between giving up on your product business too soon or building one that actually pays you.In this episode, I'm breaking down:What abundance mindset really means (hint: it's not about ignoring reality).The difference between abundance vs. scarcity thinking — and how each shows up in your day-to-day business.Real examples from launches, wholesale pitching, and sales that prove why scarcity spirals kill momentum.Practical tools to rewire your thinking — journal prompts, affirmations, gratitude practices, and the “not yet” reframe.Why combining mindset + numbers (aka your data) gives you clarity, stamina, and resilience when sales feel slow.If you've ever found yourself refreshing your Shopify dashboard on repeat, comparing yourself to competitors, or assuming “no one wants this,” this episode is for you.

Send us a textSometimes the most meaningful discoveries come when we venture beyond our usual preferences. Having just finished "Theo of Golden," by Allen Levi. a book far removed from my typical action-packed thrillers, I found myself profoundly moved in unexpected ways.When Eric Rostad, host of Books of Titans podcast and a friend whose literary judgment I trust implicitly, recommended this book, I took notice despite my hesitation. Where Brad Thor novels offer adrenaline and espionage, "Theo of Golden" presents something entirely different—a slower, more contemplative journey filled with grace, mercy, love, and kindness. These qualities feel increasingly rare in our world of endless online anger and division.What struck me most was how this book addressed our universal longing to be truly seen and acknowledged for who we are, not what we accomplish. It made me pause and consider: When was the last time you felt completely seen? How often do we overlook opportunities to extend kindness to others? These simple acts cost nothing yet mean everything. The enjoyment I derived wasn't from heart-racing suspense but from slowing down and letting the story's wisdom sink deep, leaving me with something thrillers rarely provide—genuine hope.I encourage you to read "Theo of Golden" and give yourself permission to take it slowly. Don't rush through it; let it breathe and work on you. After finishing, I'd love to hear what resonated with you and whether it reminded you of times when someone showed you unexpected grace or kindness. Reach out and let's continue this conversation about the books that don't just entertain us, but transform us.Support the showI ♥ my podcast host @Buzzsprout.

Today, I interview Michael Grant and Lee Glickstein. Michael once struggled with stage fright, from freezing in high school to facing the daunting role of speaking at his uncle's memorial service. His voice, long held back by anxiety and fear, often felt locked away.Everything began to shift when he discovered Speaking Circles, created by Lee. Instead of relying on performance or technique, Michael experienced the power of pauses, silence, and being truly seen. He learned to drop into his heart, receive listening, and let his authentic words emerge naturally.What once felt like collapse slowly transformed into presence, connection, and shared humanity. Now, Michael is stepping into personal leadership with a voice no longer frozen by fear. Together with Lee, he shares how listening itself can be healing, how authenticity matters more than performance, and how true voice is found not in speaking louder—but in speaking from the heart.__________________Michael Grant is an architectural designer whose journey with stage fright has spanned decades. What began in high school as a phobia of public speaking—whether in class, on stage, or even raising his hand—developed into a deep-seated anxiety that shaped much of his adult life.Over the years, Michael explored countless avenues to face this fear: public speaking courses, acting classes, personal growth workshops, and three years with Toastmasters. While these tools helped him function in front of groups, he never truly felt safe internally. The anxiety persisted, often leaving him frozen under the spotlight, even on Zoom calls.Everything changed when he was asked to MC his uncle's memorial ceremony—a high-stakes moment with over 130 attendees. Michael feared delivering a stiff, scripted performance instead of honoring his heartfelt intention: to create a safe, loving, and inclusive space.He discovered Be Heard Now! by Lee Glickstein, immersing himself in the practice of speaking from true inner presence, and with intensive dedication to planning and practice, he pulled it off. The memorial became a magical experience. Today, Michael sees his early fears not as burdens, but as invitations into lifelong personal growth.__________________Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International, is an authority on leadership presence and magnetism in public speaking. Decades of debilitating stage fright led him to develop an innovative approach to solving the epidemic fear of being fully oneself in front of groups.Lee has presented his unique programs at over 20 chapters of the National Speakers Association. He is the author of Be Heard Now! Tap Into Your Inner Speaker and Communicate with Ease (Bantam Doubleday and Sounds True Audiotapes) and Be Seen Now! Inspiring Insights into Being a Fearless Speaker (Precosity Press).He has facilitated thousands of Speaking Circles, workshops, seminars, and retreats around the world. Through Speaking Circles International, his team has trained over 1,000 Speaking Circle facilitators, who have led groups in eight countries and six languages.Lee graduated from Brooklyn College with a B.A. in Sociology in 1966. In 1996, he was awarded the Athena Award for Excellence in Coaching and Mentoring.Lee lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. His hobby is constructing crossword puzzles for The New York Times.__________________Find Lee here:https://speakingcircles.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/leeglickstein/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today, I interview John Briggs, who once believed that working harder and earning more was the ultimate measure of success, until the cost of that belief showed up at home.He grew up as the youngest in a religious family, often singled out and bullied in his childhood. Making himself small felt like the only way to stay safe. Even in the workplace years later, that pattern repeated. His voice silenced under systems that rewarded overwork and discouraged questioning the norm.The breakthrough came late one night, when John walked into his house at 2 a.m. and was met not with silence, but with his pregnant wife in tears. She told him she felt like a single parent. That moment shattered his assumptions about success and forced him to reflect on what he was really building, and who he was building it for.Since then, John has taken real steps to change not just how he works, but how he lives. He's created a new standard, one that honors presence, productivity, and the people who matter most. Today, he teaches others how to step out of the hustle and into a more harmonized way of working, where you don't lose yourself in the process.__________________John Briggs is widely recognized for his innovative approach to productivity and work-life harmony, encapsulated in his book The 3.3 Rule: The New Workday Standard of Creating More by Working Less. His approach has not only led to significant revenue growth for his company and clients but also promotes sustainable work-life harmony by combating the damaging hustle culture mindset.__________________Find John here:https://incitetax.com/https://www.youtube.com/incitetaxhttps://www.instagram.com/incitetax/https://www.facebook.com/incitetaxhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbriggscpa/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today, I interview Eric Atwood, who spent decades trapped in self-doubt, believing he had nothing of value to say. Labeled as the “shy, scared, stupid kid” after a traumatic moment in school, he carried that identity into adulthood, silencing his voice, hiding from connection, and believing he wasn't enough.He grew up across seven countries, constantly moving because of his father's humanitarian work. From the outside, his childhood might have looked rich in experience. But inside, Eric struggled with the pressure to be the “good boy,” the family pacifier. His mother's conditional love and his father's emotional distance left him feeling unseen and unloved. He learned to stay quiet, to please, and to blend in, even when it cost him his sense of self.Then one day, in his early forties, in the middle of a personal development workshop, he stood up in front of 150 people and spoke from his heart for the first time. That moment cracked something open. He felt alive, seen, and heard. Now, Eric helps others do the same. He guides people to connect deeply, speak authentically, and lead with presence. What once silenced him has become the very gift he offers others.__________________Eric Atwood is a speech and presentation coach, communication skills trainer, copywriter, author, certified Speaking Circles® facilitator, and founder/CEO of The Speaker's Studio.He has a passion for language and communication, both spoken and written, and is committed to helping people express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in all their interactions.Currently residing in the San Francisco Bay Area, Eric has lived in seven countries and traveled to more than 50, bringing a deep understanding and appreciation of people and cultures to his work and his life.He is also the author of New Thinking, New Being: Moving From “The Daily Grind” to a More Meaningful, Deeply Fulfilling Life.__________________Find Eric here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericallenatwood/https://www.facebook.com/eric.atwood.71"3 Keys to Releasing Fear & Gaining Confidence in Public Speaking” Free Download - https://speakingcircles.com/ Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
