Today I am SO excited to introduce you to the woman who has inspired me for the last two decades (at LEAST).

Andrea Scher is a Bay Area artist, creative, photographer, jewelry maker, retreat leader, podcaster, wonder-seeker, author, coach and all around beautiful human being. And I am so happy to call her a friend. Today we talk about where this comes from in her, and what it means to dream big. So much goodness in our conversation that I couldn't cut it short - but fans of Andrea won't mind. And if you are listening to this early on December 31st, it may not be too late to join Andrea in her Manifest 2026 live zoom from 9-11am (pacific time).

The negative emotions that can accompany motherhood take many women by surprise. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush and Jess Althoff talk about how highly sensitive women can manage the overwhelm. “We are breathing all the time, but most of us aren't breathing correctly, and most of us aren't using our breath in ways that are beneficial to us.” — Jess AlthoffExhaustion. Frustration. Overwhelm. Self-doubt. Anxiety. Guilt. Irritability. Even rage. No matter how much you wanted to be a mother, you may have been blindsided by the negative emotions that nobody warned you about. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul guide for highly sensitive women, welcomes Jess Althoff, author of the blog “Raising Slow,” for a talk about postpartum anxiety and rage, and the importance of self-care techniques like meditation and breathwork in managing mental health.

Send us a textIn this third annual Christmas tradition, I welcome Eric back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation about books, reading, and the lifelong pursuit of understanding. We talk about his ambitious “great books” journey—now stretching toward what may become a 40-year project—covering everything from Greek tragedies and Plato's dialogues to Confucius, Viktor Frankl, and modern classics.We dig into Eric's disciplined reading habits, his yearly practice of starting January and February by reading the Bible (including his experience with the King James Version this year), and how he structures his reading year to stay motivated without burning out. We also explore big ideas like Plato's theory of forms, the difference between philosophers and sophists, how ancient texts continue to shape modern thinking, and how AI can be used responsibly to deepen understanding—after you've done the hard work of reading.Eric shares the books that stood out most to him this year, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, Man's Search for Meaning, The Analects of Confucius, and The Idea Machine, along with the powerful concept of finding a “single thread” that ties together everything you read. We close with practical, encouraging advice for anyone who wants to read more: start with what you love, and let curiosity do the rest.This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation for readers, thinkers, and anyone looking to build a richer reading life—perfect for closing out the year and setting the tone for the next one.Click here to see Erik's list of books read in 2025 https://books.booksoftitans.com/2025-reading-list/ Support the showI ♥ my podcast host @Buzzsprout.

Send us a textAs we head toward the end of the year, I wanted to do something a little different with this episode.Instead of rushing straight into goal-setting, planning, and “new year, new energy” vibes, I wanted to create space to pause. To reflect. To actually look at what just happened in your business before you try to fix, change, or overhaul anything.Because every year I see the same pattern.We finish the year tired, relieved it's over, and already thinking about what's next. New goals, new plans, new strategies. And while I love that energy, what often gets skipped is reflection.Not reflection to beat yourself up.Not reflection to replay every mistake.But reflection so you don't carry the same patterns into a new year and expect different results.In this episode, I walk you through the questions I think every product-based business owner needs to ask themselves. We talk about effort versus effectiveness, busy versus profitable, and why “fine” is not the same as sustainable.I also share why looking at your numbers matters more than ever, how to review your time and energy honestly, and why enjoyment and creativity still need a seat at the table if you want a business you actually want to grow.This episode is your permission slip to slow down, get curious, and reflect without pressure.If you want support with this process, I've linked my free Business Review & Reset download here, along with a vision board exercise if you like planning visually. You'll also find links to Transform Your Wholesale and Roadmap to Profit, depending on where you're at in your business.And if you're already multi-six figures and thinking about what's next, there's a waitlist link here for a new next-level option I'm building for 2026.I'm taking a short break from the podcast after this episode to reflect, refine, and build what's next with intention.

Today, I interview Desislava Dimitrova, who grew up learning to stay quiet in order to keep the peace. She shares what it was like growing up in a strict home where it did not feel safe to speak, and how being quiet became a way to protect herself from a very young age.A major turning point came later in her life through a serious illness that divided her life into before and after. The long healing process forced her to slow down, listen deeply, and face her biggest fears. Through years of meditation and healing, she began reconnecting with her heart and the deeper knowing that had always been there.Today, Desislava uses her voice to help others slow down and listen to their heart. Through meditation and a personal, intuitive approach, she supports people in finding healing, clarity, and a deeper connection to themselves.__________________Desislava Dimitrova is a holistic whole health consultant with intuitive and healing abilities. She is passionate about helping moms improve their lifestyle and live with more joy and inner peace. People she has worked with often describe her as practical and motherly nurturing, and she offers a very personal approach that works with mind, body, and spirit.She is certified in multiple healing modalities, but life experience is her biggest credential. Desislava works with mid age professional and business women who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or are going through major transitions in their lives. She helps them find peace, hear their inner voice, and move past blocks so they can take their next inspired steps with confidence and clarity, while creating a calm and safe space for healing and growth.__________________Find Desislava here:Website: https://desi-divine.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/desislava.dimitrova.3110/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/desislava-dimitrova-30271293/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desisdivine/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Highly sensitive persons—adults and children alike—care deeply about people, about nature, about the world. Host Elizabeth Cush and Judith Orloff, MD, talk about the extraordinary gift of empathy in this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.“So many of us were shamed for being who we were and being highly sensitive or empathic and not given education about it.” — Judith Orloff, M.D.What can a bunny teach us about empathy? A lot, it turns out, when the highly sensitive rabbit is modeled after a highly sensitive person who was called a crybaby, left alone by her brothers and sisters, and felt like she didn't belong in the world. That is, until she begins to make like-minded friends who taught her how to embrace her sensitivity and care deeply for others without being swallowed up by her caring. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit as well as The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide and other titles. They talk about finding your place and your people, achieving balance, celebrating the gifts of sensitivity, end encouraging empathy in the next generation.You can find the full show notes and resources for all the episodes here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

Send us a textI'm switching things up in this episode and getting straight to it.No fancy intro, no long-winded warm-up. Just a real conversation about assumptions, beliefs, and the stories we tell ourselves that quietly shape how we show up in our business.Because lately, I've been hearing the same things again and again from product-based business owners. People aren't buying anymore. Everyone only wants discounts. Nobody opens emails. January is dead. I don't want to annoy my audience.And honestly? Most of these are not facts. They're beliefs. And beliefs are just thoughts you've repeated long enough that they feel true.In this episode, I unpack some of the most common assumptions I see brands and retailers making about selling, marketing, email, Christmas, sales seasons, pricing, and customer behaviour. I also talk about where these beliefs come from, how negativity bias sneaks in, and why assuming the worst is one of the fastest ways to stall your growth.We talk about why selling is not pushy or icky, how marketing is actually service, and why your job is not to guess what's going on in someone else's wallet.If you've been holding back, second-guessing yourself, or quietly wondering if it's even worth promoting right now, this episode is for you.Listen in, then ask yourself one simple question.Is this actually true, or is it just a belief I've been carrying around?Support the showI'm Mel Robbins! from @thelotcoGrab my free training: Your 90-Day Plan to a Profitable Product Business Without Relying On Social Media From not enough sales to effortless abundance and creating consistent sales in your business with this roadmap.

Send us a textLikeness isn't luck—it's design. On this episode, I sit down with live digital caricature artist Angie Jordan to explore how she turns a trade show aisle into a packed crowd and a stream of branded keepsakes. Angie breaks down the math behind caricature—allocating space to the biggest feature, exaggerating for clarity, and composing faces that are often more recognizable than a photo.She shares how she teaches kids with her “30-box” method, reads silhouettes at a hundred feet, and blends drafting precision, showmanship, and portable tech—from Wacom tablets and compact rigs to fast printers and client-facing TVs. We also talk branding, style, and influence, from Hanna-Barbera to Al Hirschfeld, Steven Silver, and Tom Richmond, and why embracing quirks often beats chasing symmetry.If you're planning a booth, corporate event, or wedding, Angie offers practical tactics to drive dwell time, spark conversations, and create shareable art that keeps your brand in the feed.Check out her work and book Angie at angiejordan.com and on Instagram at @AngieJordan7.

Today, I interview Manya Gittel who lost her voice during a stroke and woke up to something far more unexpected than the crisis itself. She describes that moment as an inner awakening she didn't see coming, one that shifted her sense of who she was and how her voice lived inside her.Manya shares parts of her early life, shaped by her parents' history and the roles she learned to carry as a child. These patterns became so natural to her that she never questioned them, even as they influenced how she showed up in the world.What changed after the stroke is something she explains in a way that feels both surprising and deeply human. The way she describes that shift invites you to listen closely and wonder about the places where you too might be living from habit instead of truth.Today, Manya reflects on how that experience continues to shape her voice and her presence. Her story opens a rare conversation about authenticity, connection, and the moment a person realizes they have been further from themselves than they knew. It is an invitation to explore what happens when someone finally hears the voice they didn't know they lost.__________________Manya Gittel is a coach and trainer from South Africa who works with people around the world. Her background spans decades of facilitation, education, training programs, coaching, participatory theatre, and deep study of the Enneagram. She is known for helping people explore truth through voice, presence, and honest connection.Manya's work is rooted in meaningful engagement, both with oneself and with others. She brings a unique blend of insight and experience, shaped by training in both formal and informal settings and by the recognitions she has received for her commitment to personal growth and awareness.Recent life events have opened new layers in her understanding of authenticity and expression, and she now weaves those insights into her coaching. She continues to guide people toward a more grounded, truthful relationship with themselves and with the world around them.__________________Find Manya here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manyagittel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KnocKnockCoaching/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masteryofselfandrelationshipsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/manyagittelSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Scott Townsend Show, I reconnect with longtime friend and marketing leader Jacquelyn LaMar Berney, President of VI Marketing and Branding in Oklahoma City. Jacquelyn—an accomplished marketer, community leader, and trustee for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art—joins me for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about authenticity, personal branding, and the strange new world of LinkedIn advice.Jacquelyn and I unpack a recent post she wrote that began with the bold opener: “LinkedIn advice is worthless.” That hook sparked a deep dive into why people chase engagement, how AI-generated posts are changing the platform, and why contradictory “thought leadership” leaves people confused rather than helped.We talk about the “Harvard Trust Triangle,” what it means to have a “wobble” in how others perceive your empathy, logic, or authenticity, and how to show up as your real self without oversharing. Jacquelyn also reflects on the evolution of LinkedIn—from résumé site, to networking hub, to something that sometimes feels like Tinder-for-business.Together, we explore:Whether authenticity is still possible in an algorithm-driven worldHow personal brands are built (whether you mean to build one or not)Why trend-chasing feels hollowHow to genuinely help people without turning into an “influencer”It's a smart, funny, and honest conversation about the tension between being yourself and performing yourself online—and why showing up with integrity still matters.

If you often feel anxious, overwhelmed or alone, if you frequently find yourself in relationships that cause you pain, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush shares her experiences with finding safety within. “I can be the person who meets me where I need to be met, and I can do that with kindness and care.” — Biz CushHave childhood neglect, trauma, chronic illness affected your internal sense of well-being? Does the state of the world leave you feeling overwhelmed? If you're a highly sensitive woman, chances are you have felt an outsized impact—and it's equally likely that you've been told “you're over-reacting” so often that you no longer trust yourself. That's a hard place to be. The good news is, no matter where you are on your journey, you can heal, and keep healing. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about safety and community, shares some of her own journey, and offers insight into the tools she used to settle the noise inside , reconnect with her inner wisdom and intuition, and really learn to trust herself.

Today on the show: a gathering of words.I'm talking with Milwaukee Poet and interdisciplinary artist, Angela Voras-Hills. She and her co-host Danielle Harms have organized a semi-regular book reading they call Book Drop MKE, inviting local and national authors and poets to read their new collections on a stage for local readers. Held at a nearby brewery, this event invites the audience to interact with authors, and with each other in a much more engaging way than your typical book reading. Icebreakers, raffles, laughter and poetry all on a Friday night. If you've been looking for a creative way to gather and you're local, make your way to a Book Drop in December (or follow on IG to find their next event). And if you aren't local, Angela and I talk a little about how you might set up a Book Drop in your own community. Key takeaway for me (again): If you host it, they will come. People want to gather.

Send us a textIn this episode, I visit with Max Skinner, Senior Manager of Community Development for Movember. Men's health needs more than awareness—it needs action people can see, measure, and join. Max and I explore how a global mustache movement has evolved into a U.S.-anchored engine for impact, funding programs that tackle prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and the growing crisis of men's mental health and suicide prevention.We dive into Mind Moves, Movember's mental-wellness program tailored for collegiate student-athletes navigating performance pressure, identity shifts, and the new NIL reality. Hosted on a platform that reaches more than 150,000 athletes, Mind Moves teaches students how to spot warning signs, start real conversations, and use campus resources—turning education into prevention.We also unpack the Real Faces of Men's Health Report, a first-of-its-kind U.S. analysis offering state-by-state data, demographic insights, and policy recommendations that move the conversation from slogans to strategy.The numbers are stark—60 men die by suicide every hour worldwide, and three out of four suicides in the U.S. are men—but the solutions can start small. Max and I talk about meaningful check-ins, building shared rituals that keep friends connected, and why growing a mustache still works as the perfect conversation starter.If you want to help, it's easy: grow, move, host, or “Mo Your Own Way.” Link your miles with Strava, use free templates and guides, and see where funds go through clear U.S. reporting.Ready to turn a mustache into momentum?

➡ CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! Today, meet my friend Lizzie. Lizzie is super cool. Earlier this year, Lizzie was angry, overwhelmed, disheartened and ________ with the state of the world (fill-in-the-blank with any/all the exhausted words). So Lizzie decided to do something. Lizzie boiled a pot of spaghetti noodles, sauced them up and invited friends to her house to share their hopes and fears for our country. And now Lizzie hosts a 'protest potluck' every month for anyone who can show up. But don't worry - we aren't talking politics in this episode. We're talking about what it takes to organize one of these for yourself - even if, or maybe especially if, it sounds intimidating. Or, if - like my friend Lizzie - you sometimes experience social anxiety and would rather just stay home. I hope you'll tune in and listen - and maybe even try a potluck of your own making!

Send us a text5 Things Every Promo Email MUST Have (If You Want Sales!)**If your promo emails are getting meh opens or zero clicks, this quick-hit episode is your wake-up call. After reviewing dozens of client emails inside Nail Your Email Marketing and in my 1:1 sessions, I've seen the same mistakes again and again… especially during sales season.So today, I'm walking you through the 5 non-negotiables every promo email should include to actually get opened, read and clicked.This is your micro-masterclass in writing emails that convert, not collect dust in the inbox.In this episode, we cover:1. Why your subject line needs to slap, not snoozeBoring subject lines get ignored. You need curiosity, clarity, or straight-up benefits. I share what makes a subject line irresistible and why A/B testing should be your new best friend.2. The must-have CTA above the foldIf your audience has to scroll to find the link, you've already lost them. I break down what “above the fold” actually looks like and why clarity always wins.3. High-contrast design that people can actually readPastel on pastel? Tiny fonts? Hard pass. I share my go-to readability tool and the simple graphic design rule that will instantly improve your emails.4. Clear, non-waffly copy that respects your customer's timePromo emails should be quick, direct and obvious. No filler paragraphs, no “hope this finds you well.” Tell them the offer, why it matters and why they should care right now.5. One email, one goalIf you give people too many choices, they choose nothing. I walk through why your promos need ONE job and exactly how to structure them.+ Bonus tipA little movement goes a long way — think GIFs, scrolling marquees, or icon-style features that communicate essential info fast.• Subject Line Examples: here • My favourite contrast checker: https://coolors.co/contrast-checker • Nail Your Email Marketing Program: Learn how to create emails that convert like crazy.Want help boosting your sales, getting your emails actually opened, and creating a marketing system that makes Support the showI'm Mel Robbins! from @thelotcoGrab my free training: Your 90-Day Plan to a Profitable Product Business Without Relying On Social Media From not enough sales to effortless abundance and creating consistent sales in your business with this roadmap.

I respond to Jake Frew's Patreon post about YouTube Metrics and Airline etiquette. I discuss a world without public metrics and trace how that shift might bring us back to trust, storytelling, and the simple power of word of mouth. From the Mona Lisa's fame without a counter to the way a Spielberg credit earns an automatic watch, I explain why following a creator's voice can be more satisfying than chasing whatever tops the charts.As for airline etiquette I talk about being a shades-up person most of the time, when it's kind to drop them, why not reclining in tight cabins respects the person behind you, and how back-to-front boarding logic beats aisle gridlock. Add a few low-friction habits—slide over, don't guard the aisle, stash bags fast—and everyone's flight gets easier.

Today, I interview John Kippen who spent years hiding after a surgery left half of his face paralyzed. His story is one of deep courage, transformation, and learning what it really means to be seen.As a child, John grew up in a successful family and learned how to perform, achieve, and seek approval. But beneath that confidence was a longing to be understood for who he truly was. When a brain tumor led to facial paralysis, everything he knew about identity and worth was shaken.What followed was a long season of silence and isolation that eventually became a doorway to rediscovery. Through his love for magic and storytelling, John began to connect with others again. The stage became a space where he stopped hiding, shared his truth, and turned what once felt like a limitation into a powerful message of authenticity.Today, John uses his voice to help others find theirs. As a speaker and empowerment coach, he reminds us that real confidence isn't about appearance or perfection. It begins with self-acceptance, compassion, and the courage to show up exactly as we are.__________________John Kippen is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach, and published author.In 2002, he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor that, while successfully removed, left him with permanent facial paralysis. The experience stopped his forward momentum and led him into hiding for more than twelve years.During that time, John rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. What began as a way to cope slowly became his source of healing. With renewed passion and hope, he came to see that his facial difference was not a limitation but his greatest superpower.Today, John lives with joy and purpose, helping others rise above self-doubt and fear. As a resilience and empowerment coach, he teaches people to get out of their own way and step into a life of confidence and connection.His guiding mottos are simple yet profound: Being different is your superpower and Feed your heart with your art.__________________Find John here:https://www.johnkippen.com/https://www.facebook.com/kippen/?_rdrhttps://www.instagram.com/johnkippen/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkippenspeaker/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Her story is a powerful reminder that fulfillment isn't found in titles or paychecks—it's found in alignment with who you truly are. Lori shares how embracing her reinvention mindset led her from corporate America to becoming a speaker, author, and mindset coach, helping others uncover their authentic selves.In this heartfelt conversation, Lori and Debbie dive into:

She shares how creative expression became her lifeline, helping her release what she couldn't say out loud.Growing up sensitive and full of imagination, Robin later faced experiences that taught her to hold back her voice. Years of silence led to a deep disconnection from her own safety and expression, until art and body-based healing began to show her another way to live and speak.Now, Robin helps others find that same freedom, guiding them to calm anxiety, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover their authentic voice. Her work reminds us that healing and self-expression often rise together, leading us back to what is most true within.__________________Robin Humphreys is the visionary Founder and CEO of Phoenix Heart Healing.
