Kate Pierson is a founding member of the B-52s: The World's Greatest Party Band, and a beacon for weirdos and queer-does since the late 70s. After decades of collaborating with the likes of Iggy Pop, R.E.M., and her Japanese side-band NiNa (more on that in the episode), Kate began writing and recording her entirely solo output in 2015. Last year, her second album Radios and Rainbows was released, and at the age of 77, Kate is bubbling with creativity and drive to continue creating. Between the B-52s' legendary back catalogue (which I've only really started discovering myself), Kate's solo work, and her reflections on her own queer legacy, there's a lot to get through in this conversation.

Today, I interview Elisa Negroni, who grew up silenced—not just by family secrets and trauma, but by a culture that told her to stay small, stay quiet, and never question authority.Raised in Puerto Rico and Jamaica, Elisa learned early that speaking up came with consequences. A teacher once told her she wasn't “college material,” and a cruel stepmother punished her for simply existing.The silence followed her into adulthood. For years, Elisa avoided the spotlight, convinced she had nothing to say. But deep down, she longed to be seen. Everything changed when she discovered Speaking Circles and began her journey inward—toward healing, self-trust, and the voice she thought she'd lost forever.Today, Elisa is a coach who helps others drop their masks, rewrite old stories, and reclaim their power to speak. In this powerful episode, she shares what it really takes to break free from silence and stand in your truth.Her story is a testament to what's possible when you stop hiding and start honoring who you are.__________________Elisa Negroni is a certified coach, facilitator, and storyteller who helps people break free from silence and reconnect with their true voice. Trained by Radiant Coaches Academy, Speaking Circles International, and in the Peace Circle process, she brings both deep training and lived experience to every session.With 30+ years in community relations, personal development, and transformational coaching, Elisa blends professional insight with her own powerful journey—from growing up silenced to guiding others through their healing.She helps clients uncover the stories that have kept them hidden and speak from a place of truth, presence, and self-compassion.__________________Find Elisa here:https://www.elisanegroni.com/https://relationalpresence.com/Free Gift: https://power2speak.myflodesk.com/d7gv7aooheSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Is Heavyweight kickboxing back? At least that's what GLORY is trying to accomplish with the GLORY Last Heavyweight Standing tournament. With favorites like Jamal Ben Saddik, Bahram Rajabzadeh, Cookie Osaro and Big Sexy it's bound to be spectaculair! But do the 4-man tournaments make sense?

This Saturday the promotion's posterboy Heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven is returning to defend his belt against former Light Heavyweight champion Artem Vakhitov. That's not all because GLORY is celebrating their 100th event with a MASSIVE CARD! 20 fights, 4 title fights, 4 one night 4-man tournaments, multiple superfights! IN-SANE! This was originally meant to be a two-parter, but with disappointing ticketsales they combined both events in one mega event. While GLORY isn't doing a two-parter, I will make it up for them since I am doing this preview show in two parts!

Send us a textThis week, we're rewinding a very popular episode of the podcast—and trust me, it hits even harder right now.If you've ever thought about adding a digital layer to your product-based business—or if you're quietly wondering what's next for you beyond the stockroom or sales floor—this episode is a must-listen.I'm diving into why digital products aren't just for “online coaches” or influencers, and how you, as a retailer, maker, or brand founder, can turn your skills, story, or process into something scalable and impactful.Whether it's a course, a workshop, a downloadable guide, or a membership—this episode will open your eyes to what's possible when you stop trading time for money and start thinking like a Digital CEO.PLUS: You'll hear from my own coach, James Wedmore, as he breaks down exactly how to get started, even if you have zero audience and no idea where to begin.

Today, I interview Kristina Milosevic, who once struggled with shyness and fear of speaking up. As a child growing up in Serbia, she often felt more comfortable staying in the background. She was the responsible older sister, creative and observant, but hesitant to be fully seen. That shyness stayed with her into adulthood, where the pressure to meet expectations in a corporate marketing job built up over time.Eventually, that pressure affected her health and landed her in the hospital—a wake-up call that made her realize she could no longer live without her own voice.Kristina realized she had been living by someone else's script. She courageously left her job, started freelancing, and began showing up in new ways. Her first steps onto her own path began with a challenge she had never faced before—creating videos despite the shakiness and discomfort of being seen and heard in a second language. It was the beginning of discovering what she was truly meant to do.Today, Kristina helps others find their voice online. She supports entrepreneurs in building a real presence through social media, video, and personal connection. Her message is simple but powerful: be who you truly are, not who others expect you to be. Speak up, show up, and live your own life.__________________Kristina is a digital marketing coach, speaker, and podcast creator who helps entrepreneurs build an authentic online presence. She is co-founder of the PromoZiS Team, a freelance group specializing in web design, digital marketing, and business consulting.Through her podcast Growing Business Online, Kristina shares insights on visibility, strategy, and the mindset behind meaningful growth.

Send us a textLet's get one thing straight—your branding is not just about a cute logo or a pretty Instagram grid. If your product isn't flying off the shelves (real or virtual), it's time to look at what your brand is really saying.In this juicy episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why a misaligned brand identity could be the thing standing between you and consistent sales, dream stockists, and repeat customers who rave about you.Here's what you'll learn:The 5 subtle-but-critical ways your brand identity sells for you (or sabotages you)How to fix weak visuals, inconsistent packaging, or low-vibe photos without a $10K rebrandWhy shelf space, booth layouts, and your Insta grid are prime real estate—and how to make yours irresistibleWhat your unboxing experience says about your values, and how to make it unforgettable (even on a budget)How your brand voice (yep, even your captions and product descriptions) can seal the deal or confuse the heck out of your customersWhy confused branding attracts bargain hunters and ghosters—and how to start drawing in those aligned, loyal, full-price buyers insteadIf you've ever felt like:“Everyone says they love my product, but no one buys…”“My visuals feel a little DIY but I don't know how to upgrade.”“I don't want to discount anymore—I want to be seen as premium.”Then this episode is your sign, your brand audit, and your next move—wrapped up in one.This is also exactly why brand identity is one of the first things I help you get right inside my Roadmap to Profit program. Because once your brand is working for you… the rest gets a whole lot easier.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Light Up Your Worth podcast, Debbie speaks with health expert Jacqueline Rose about the complexities of managing menopause symptoms and the deeper journey women experience during this life stage. They discuss the role of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), the importance of essential supplements like Omega 3s, Magnesium, and Vitamin D, and the profound need for stress management and self-care. Jacqueline emphasizes the individuality of menopause experiences, recognizing the diversity of symptoms and impacts across different demographics, including ethnicities and sexual orientations. Additionally, the conversation explores how menopause is an opportunity for women to focus on their true authentic selves, moving beyond just symptom management to understand the importance of listening to their bodies and making life choices that support their well-being. Jacqueline is not afraid to have conversations on women's health and wellness topics that challenge conventional assumptions and switch up perceived paradigms of health care. In 2022 Jacqueline founded and hosted The Menopause Summit, a 5 day online summit which brought together experts from around the world to share their wisdom on menopause, mid-life transitions, aging and women's health.Connect with Jacqueline:https://www.jacquelinerosehealth.com/https://www.youtube.com/@jacquelinerosehealthhttps://www.facebook.com/theyogaroom120/The Menopause Sisterhood Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/933638703661154https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinerose-womenshealth/https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinerose_womenshealth/ Thank you for tuning into another illuminating episode of Light Up Your Worth.

Today, I interview Patty de Vries, who grew up in a challenging environment where she felt the weight of constantly meeting expectations, pushing herself to succeed while disconnecting from her own needs.She learned early on to stay quiet and observe, taking her mother's saying, "children should be seen and not heard," to heart. She also pushed herself to meet high expectations as an athlete, training with intensity from a young age. This drive helped her achieve success, but it came at a cost, as she often ignored her own physical and emotional needs.Much later in life, a severe back injury forced her to slow down and reconnect with herself. This physical setback gave her the time and space to reflect, reconnect with nature, and rediscover a deeper connection with her body and spirit, breaking free from the old patterns that had kept her silent.Today, Patty shares what she's learned about letting go of expectations, listening deeply, and finding her true voice. She encourages others to break free from old patterns, reconnect with their authentic selves, and embrace the energy that moves through every cell of their being.__________________As the Chief Experience Officer at Living Well USA, Patty de Vries has dedicated her life to guiding individuals and teams toward meaningful transformation. With a background in psychology, a distinguished athletic career at Stanford, and decades of experience in wellness leadership, including roles at Stanford University, she blends science, spirituality, and practical wisdom to help people align their thoughts, energy, and actions with their true potential.__________________Find Patty here:https://livingwellusa.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/pattydevries/https://www.facebook.com/pattypurpurdevrieshttps://www.youtube.com/@livingwellusahttps://www.instagram.com/livingwellca/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today, I interview Joan Perry, who once built a life filled with achievement, only to realize she was climbing the wrong ladder in the wrong building. Outwardly, everything looked perfect—career success, recognition, and status—but inwardly, she felt disconnected from herself. Joan shares how, for years, she followed the path that culture and family laid out for her, without ever stopping to ask if it was truly her own.Growing up in a high-achieving family in the Midwest, Joan learned early on that visibility and accomplishment were rewarded. Her voice, however, was often silenced. In a household where airtime was earned and expression was measured, she became an achiever—excelling in sports, academics, and later, in a groundbreaking career on Wall Street. Yet behind all the success was a deep longing for something more real, something that felt alive inside her.The breakthrough came when everything she had built began to fall apart. A divorce she never saw coming stripped away the vision she had constructed. It forced her to pause for the first time and listen inward. Joan realized she had shaped her entire life around survival, not authenticity. Stability had come at the cost of her true voice. This disruption marked the true beginning of her Heroine's Journey—the journey back to herself.Today, Joan Perry is the founder of The Heroine's Journey and a bestselling author, helping women everywhere reclaim their voice, self-worth, and authentic path. Through her writing, coaching, and her podcast The Heroine's Journey, she teaches that real success starts when we stop performing and start listening within. Her story is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to rewrite the story and become the Heroine of your own life.__________________Joan Perry is a cultural luminary and advocate for women becoming the heroines of their own lives. Her credits include bestselling author, business owner, securities trader, high-performance coach, pioneering high-net-worth investor, philanthropist, and publisher.Her deepest joy comes from sharing her epic work, The Heroine's Journey to True Wealth, with other women who are also trying to rewrite their heroine's story.She is an international bestselling author, host of The Heroine's Journey Podcast, and founder of The Heroine's Journey.

Send us a textThis episode of Light Up Your Worth explores the intersection of financial independence and personal growth with guest Penny Rose, a former forensic accountant turned tax strategist for creators and coaches. The discussion covers key topics for entrepreneurs, including the "Triangle of Freedom" (balancing financial, time, and location independence), transitioning from a traditional job to self-employment, and essential tax strategies for small business owners. Penny shares valuable insights on setting up a strong financial foundation, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's numbers and planning for taxes from the start. The conversation also touches on the challenges and considerations of running a location-independent business, particularly regarding state taxes. Memorable quotes from the episode include:"Knowledge is power. Many of us are afraid to look at our numbers, but you're not able to make the best decisions possible for your own finances if you're afraid to look at your credit card statement or your tax return.""Habits I developed when I had a very small business continue. Because once you get the process set up, and you start doing it, it doesn't matter. You could hundred X your revenue and hopefully not a hundred X your expenses." This discussion relates to the Light Up Your Worth podcast title by empowering midlife women to take control of their financial futures as part of their personal development journey. It encourages listeners to face their financial fears, understand their worth in monetary terms, and make informed decisions about their businesses and lifestyles. The episode illuminates the path to financial independence and location freedom, aligning with the holistic and spiritual mindset of the target audience by showing how practical financial knowledge can support overall life goals and personal growth.Connect with Penny:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamapreneur_moneypro Thank you for tuning into another illuminating episode of Light Up Your Worth.

Today, I interview Julia Miron, who grew up in a home where speaking her truth wasn't safe. As the youngest in a household filled with anger, control, and emotional chaos, she learned to stay silent to protect herself. She retreated into journaling, music, and nature—places where she didn't have to explain herself, where she could finally breathe. Her voice, however, remained hidden. Her words barely above a whisper, while the other kids laughed and played freely.Years later, when a loss made her realize that she wanted to speak, the fear of being seen and heard still held her tightly. The idea of standing in front of people terrified her. She had tried Toastmasters, but the pressure to perform only made things worse.Then someone told her about Speaking Circles. Skeptical but curious, she walked into her first session—and everything shifted. For the first time, she stood in front of others and didn't feel the need to hide. There were no judgments, no corrections, just presence. Even though she was sweating and trembling, she was allowed to simply be. She began showing up not only on the page but in her voice.Today, she is a certified mindfulness teacher and coach, supporting individuals through one-on-one sessions that blend mindfulness and Speaking Circles. She's also launching her podcast, The Messy Meditator, where she opens honest conversations about the beauty and struggle of being human. Through her work, she helps others find the safety, stillness, and self-acceptance she had searched for most of her life.__________________Julia Rebecca Miron is a mindfulness teacher and coach, qualified by Brown University as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher. Her mission is to make mindfulness accessible to more people by demystifying the idea that you need to be perfect and Buddha-like to practice it. She believes that showing up messy is better than not showing up at all.She's also a writer, and her work has been featured in Chicken Soup for the Soul. She's currently preparing to launch her podcast, The Messy Meditator, which explores mindfulness, messiness, and life.In her free time, she loves hiking, listening to R&B and hip hop, connecting with loved ones, and doting on her dog, Disco.__________________Find Julia here:https://www.instagram.com/the.messy.meditator/https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliarebeccamiron/https://www.themessymeditator.com/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textEver feel like you're doing all the things in your business—posting on socials, packing orders, launching products—but STILL not getting the results you want?Yep. You're probably in the messy middle. Not a newbie anymore, but not scaling like a pro just yet. And let me tell you, this stage is real and it's where so many product-based business owners get stuck.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and talking honestly about the awkward, in-between phase that no one really warns you about. This isn't about shiny six-figure launches or starting from scratch—it's about what happens in year two, or five, or even ten, when things just feel… stuck.You'll hear stories from real clients (shoutout to Mandy, Belinda, and Melissa!) and practical tools to help you stop spinning in circles and start making serious progress.

Today, I interview Holly MacCue, who used to walk into work feeling sick with dread, afraid she would be exposed as a fraud. Even after being recognized by her boss as a “shining star,” she couldn't shake the fear that she didn't belong. A high achiever since childhood, Holly placed enormous pressure on herself to succeed—and it eventually made her physically ill. She lost her voice to laryngitis, and with it came a wake-up call: something had to change.As a sensitive, creative child, Holly had always expressed herself through writing, but she was never the loudest in the room. She was thoughtful, disciplined, and driven. Though her parents never pushed her, she pushed herself hard. That drive followed her into adulthood, until one day, sitting at dinner with friends, she thought, “I guess I'll just be happy when I retire.” That moment cracked something open.She began redefining what success meant to her. She left corporate life, started her own business, and gradually built a life aligned with her values. The turning point deepened when her newborn daughter struggled with undiagnosed health issues. Despite being dismissed by professionals, Holly trusted her instincts and fought to be heard. That experience became a powerful lesson in using her voice for what matters.Today, Holly helps entrepreneurs do the same. Through her Magnetic Selling Method, she shows them how to speak clearly, connect deeply, and stop hiding. Her message is simple: your voice already exists—what matters is choosing how to use it.__________________Holly MacCue is a Sales and Messaging Strategist for service-based entrepreneurs, running a multi–six-figure business while raising two young children. She is a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and brings over a decade of experience as a brand strategist for global companies like Unilever and Procter & Gamble, where she led strategy for a $200 million portfolio.Through her signature Magnetic Selling Method™, Holly has helped over 1,000 clients across 70+ industries master their messaging, stand out as the no-brainer choice, and attract pre-sold, ready-to-invest clients.

Today, I interview Dr. Julie Lopez, who spent much of her life perfecting a performative voice to fit in and avoid rejection. Adopted as an infant and raised without biological connections, she unconsciously shaped her identity around external approval. She excelled in academics, leadership, and later, a high-powered consulting career, yet deep inside, she felt disconnected from her true self.Despite outward success, whispers of dissatisfaction grew louder. A pivotal trip to Spain, combined with years of introspection, made her realize she had been living by survival-driven patterns rather than authentic choices. She left her prestigious career behind and pursued psychology, focusing on implicit memory—the hidden codes that shape behavior, fears, and confidence.Now, Julie helps high achievers uncover and rewire these unconscious patterns through her work and book, Live Empowered. Her journey is a powerful reminder that true confidence isn't just about speaking well—it's about speaking from a place of deep authenticity.__________________Dr Julie Lopez delights in guiding high achievers, executives and CEOs through the “unconscious advantage” so they can move aside hidden roadblocks to health, wealth and personal alignment.

Today, I interview Robyn Smith, who spent much of her early life feeling unheard and afraid to speak up. As a child, she was timid and quiet, often holding back her voice in class and around others. Early experiences of separation from her mother left her with a deep sense of not being fully seen or heard. At home, she had the freedom to make choices, but in the outside world, she shrank into the background, afraid of being judged.Even as she grew older, the fear of speaking up stayed with her. She taught gymnastics as a kid and later became a yoga teacher, but she still struggled to trust her voice. She believed she wasn't loud enough, and speaking in front of others felt like a challenge.Her breakthrough came when she immersed herself in deeper personal work. Through intensive training, she began to understand the patterns that held her back and found the confidence to use her voice in a new way.Now, Robyn helps women struggling with relationship challenges, guiding them to break free from old patterns and build deeper, more fulfilling connections. She teaches practical tools for communication, emotional healing, and self-worth—helping others experience love and relationships in a way that feels truly supportive and nourishing.__________________Robyn Smith is an award-winning speaker and a leading trauma, communication, and relationship coach for women. As the founder of the Rock Your Relationship movement, she has helped thousands turn frustration into fulfillment by building deeper, more conscious, and loving connections.With inspiration from her thriving 23-year marriage, Robyn blends practical relationship strategies with emotional healing to create lasting change. Her approach goes beyond communication, reshaping how women experience love and connection.As a certified master trauma coach, she specializes in helping clients break free from trauma and unhealthy patterns, restoring harmony within relationships and within themselves.__________________Find Robyn here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCprnkDKhwO6Nr1YR5rasnBA/videoshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/consciousthrivingrelationshipshttps://consciousthrivingrelationships.com/https://calendly.com/robyn-smith-coach/relationship-breakthrough-sessionhttps://www.instagram.com/robyn.smith.relationshipcoach/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
