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.

It's time to get your jkick fix! In this video, I preview ONE 172 Japan, featuring the highly anticipated showdown between kickboxing superstar Takeru Segawa and Muay Thai phenom Rodtang.But that's not all, this stacked card also includes:

Rico Verhoeven and Badr Hari are THE biggest stars in kickboxing right now. With them at the tail end of their careers I asked myself: “How does the kickboxing landscape look like after Rico and Badr inevitably retire?” Who will follow in their footsteps? But wait, why are there just two big kickboxing superstars? With Rico and Badr on their way out, kickboxing is in dire need of new superstars. But how are superstars built?

Today I analyse and predict GLORY 99, the Last Heavyweight Standing 32-man tournament. Fan favorites like Jamal Ben Saddik and Bahram Rajabzadeh participate as well as new faces like Rade Opacic and Ahmed Krnjić. I also talk about the GLORY 100 announcements; Rico Verhoeven vs Artem Vakhitov and Tarik Khbabez vs Sergej Maslobojev and GLORY's return to the USA for their new format GLORY Underground, headlined by Chico Kwasi vs Tyjani Beztati. Last but not least, we have to talk about ONE 172, because I was COMPLETELY wrong haha!

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. Her approach is grounded in buyer psychology and has empowered clients to double their prices, quadruple their income, sell out their first launches, and scale to multiple six figures in as little as 12 months.A sought-after speaker on magnetic sales and messaging, Holly has been featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneurs on Fire. Her work is about helping people show up with clarity, confidence, and service—and making it easy for the right clients to find them.__________________Find Holly here:https://www.instagram.com/hollymaccue/https://www.facebook.com/holly.maccue.3/https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredentrepreneursconnecthttps://hollymaccue.com/highticketsales/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

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.

Tell us how we're doing, or just say hiHi everyone. I have to admit that I had a pretty good idea of what this episode was going to be about, how it was going to unfold, as they say.  I was talking to the father of three daughters, grown daughters, all living overseas, and I thought that he and his wife were planning to go live with them in the US, but I was wrong. You're gonna have to listen to find out exactly how I was wrong, but I will say that it was one of the most enjoyable interviews I've done in a long time.  I spent just over an hour with Rajendra, but I think we hit it off pretty quickly and got into some pretty personal areas quite fast and had a lot of fun, some laughs, and I think he also enjoyed it.  I'm really curious to hear what you think. So let me know. I want to give a shout out to S.U.,  I only have their initials, who posted online about Nepal Now:  they are "fascinating and insightful interviews and discussions that share so much about lived experience in Nepal. I am listening while on a trip in Nepal." Thank you very much for that review, which S.U. posted in May, 2024. I feel bad that I only found it recently.  If you're interested in supporting the show, but, can't do it financially at the moment, one of the next best things you can do is leave us a review. It  might help introduce a newcomer to the show and turn them into a listener, which would be great.Support the showI want to give a huge shout-out to Prem Awasthi. He was the first guest of Nepal Now in 2024 when we shifted our focus to migration, and was also the first listener to subscribe to the show. You can subscribe for as little as $3 a month.

Highlights include the impact of hiring a bookkeeper on client intake and empowering women to value themselves.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome02:16 Suzy's Background and Journey04:43 Starting a Business: Challenges and Realizations06:50 Simplifying Business Processes10:20 Financial Management for Entrepreneurs15:29 Addressing Trauma in Business21:33 Overcoming the Fear of Speaking Up22:34 Identifying and Healing Trauma23:39 Manifesting Opportunities and Success26:26 The Power of Intentional Manifesting31:30 Embracing Personal and Professional Growth36:24 Energetic Alignment in Business40:18 The Impact of Music on Energy42:06 Advice to My Younger Self43:39 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsConnect with Suzzy:Website: https://www.startingabusinesssimplified.com Thank you for tuning into another illuminating episode of Light Up Your Worth.

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.

After 7 Years and 344 Episodes it is time to say:  Thank you and goodnight Today - February 25th 2025 - marks the seventh anniversary since the first episode of this podcast went live to the world on February 25th 2018When I first launched the podcast I was advised that the vast majority of new podcast launches don't make it beyond episode seven.So to have reached 344 episodes in seven years of podcasting seems like a reasonable achievement.It also feels like the perfect time to draw halt to the Better Presentations More Sales podcastI started listening to podcasts around 2014 and I remember one of the shows I listened to was a social media marketing podcast hosted by Chris Marr up in Scotland.On one of his episodes the guest was a chap called Pete Matthew who revealed that he was from Penzance in Cornwall.Not too far from me in Truro and the first time I've heard anyone from Cornwall on a business podcast.Pete revealed on the episode that he'd been podcasting himself for quite a number of years.Knowing I needed some help to get started with podcasting I contacted Pete. He generously gave me his time back in the summer of 2016 and eventually after much procrastination I finally launched the podcast in February 2018. Ironically Chris Marr would end up being a guest on my show in 2024.The first 78 episodes were without guests before I worked out how to use Zoom and I interviewed Claire Boscq Scott from Jersey who I met sitting next to at a seminar at the London Business Show in 2019.Juanita Wheeler from Australia was my final and 130th guest.I do intend to return with a new podcast linked to presenting skills sometime maybe in the autumn but until then I'm very much focused on developing my on demand presentation and sales pitch training courses.I would like to say a few thank you's to all the people who made this podcast run for as long as it did.Firstly Pete Matthew who provided me with the knowledge and encouragement.My daughter Beth who edited most of the first year or two episodesHer friend Lauren who provided the voice introduction for the first batch of episodesMy son Jim who provided technical support when I first set up all the recording kit and his friend Robert who created the podcast logosThe 130 guests who have appeared on the showIt often felt like I was getting a one-to-one coaching masterclass so I'm very grateful for them sharing their insights, advice and expertise.And finally you the listeners of the showI can't believe it's been seven years - I've had a fantastic time and I will be back.So until then enjoy presenting and speaking and remember don't put too many words on your slides!I can help you transform your business presentations, create and convert sales opportunities and win more sales pitches.

Today, I interview Linda Graf, who lost her confidence in speaking after a sudden family financial crisis during her teenage years shattered her sense of stability and support. Once a child who thrived in speech contests and artistic pursuits, Linda found herself unable to speak in front of even a small group, carrying this fear well into adulthood.As Linda navigated her career in sales and later coaching, she felt an undeniable pull to confront her fear of speaking. Witnessing a friend courageously express herself at her wedding after training with Speaking Circles inspired Linda to seek similar help. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her journey to rediscover her voice.Through Speaking Circles, Linda learned that presence and listening are at the heart of authentic expression. She embraced practices that built her mental resilience, enabling her to speak with confidence while staying true to herself.Today, Linda is a relationship and mental fitness coach, guiding women to strengthen their relationships through curiosity, compassion, and courage. She empowers her clients to recognize and overcome self-sabotaging patterns, helping them find their voice in both personal and professional relationships.__________________Linda Graf is a Relationship and Mental FitnessTM Coach who's been coaching and leading workshops for 20+ years.

Today, I interview Sarah Dawkins, who struggled with losing her voice after being constantly told to be quiet as a child. Her curiosity was often met with dismissal, and a negative experience in school left her feeling silenced and small. Later in life, despite her passion for teaching and helping others, the fear of public speaking deepened her internal struggle with self-expression.Sarah grew up in a strict household and found herself rebelling in her late teens as a way to reclaim her suppressed vibrancy. However, emotional wounds from her upbringing and bullying shaped her life choices, leading her to pursue a career in nursing where she could provide the care and support she had longed for.A major turning point came when Sarah began to question conventional approaches to health and healing. This exploration opened the door to self-healing and a new understanding of wellness that transformed her life.Today, Sarah helps clients reconnect with their own inner wisdom and strength. Through her book, podcast, and coaching, she guides people to take simple steps toward healing and discover the quiet voice that leads to transformation.__________________Sarah Dawkins is a highly sought-after Holistic Health and Healing Coach, Keynote Speaker, and the Author of HEAL YOURSELF.As a former Registered Nurse with over twenty years of medical experience, Sarah brings a unique, integrative perspective to her work.

Today, I interview Carla King, an author and publishing expert who overcame the struggle of being an introvert terrified of speaking publicly—even after her writing was published. Carla grew up in a unique environment shaped by her introverted, artistic mother and extroverted, mechanical father. Living in rural North Carolina, she spent much of her time reading and working on mechanical projects with her dad, finding comfort in solitude and observation. A dramatic move to Silicon Valley during her teenage years pushed her into a new world of cultural contrasts, where she began exploring her identity and finding her voice through writing and travel. A pivotal moment in Carla's journey came when she took a solo motorcycle trip through Europe, leaving behind a marriage that no longer served her. That experience not only marked her personal transformation but also inspired her first published story. Today, Carla uses her expertise and adventurous spirit to guide authors in turning their stories into books, teaching them to overcome the fear of sharing their deepest truths and connect authentically with their readers.__________________Carla King is an author and publishing expert who's passionate about guiding writers through the journey of turning their stories into polished, professional books. Known for her adventurous solo motorcycle travels and as a pioneer in online travel blogging, Carla brings creativity and clear, actionable advice to her coaching. Through her books, workshops, and the Your Publishing Compass yearlong program, she helps authors confidently navigate the publishing process and share their stories with the world.__________________Find Carla here:https://carlaking.com/ https://carlaking.com/in/carlaking/ https://www.facebook.com/missadventuring/ https://www.instagram.com/missadventuring/Free Download - https://BookHip.com/LJQATKD Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.
