Do you ever find yourself second guessing yourself? You have some ideas or dreams, but then reality hits, and you ask the question, "Who am I to do this?" Doubts creep in along with fears of the unknown. We tend to live in that constant state of fears and because of it remain exactly where we are. But what we were to break out of that fear? What if we were to make steps today that would lead us to a brighter and better future version of ourselves? Listen to the podcast HERE In this episode I talk about my own struggle about opening a gym and the fears and doubts that I had as I second guessed myself. I realize that we all have big plans and dreams, so how do we turn those into a reality rather than just sitting on them? How do we take that first step and then another in order to further our dreams and do the desires that are in us to do. That's what we are talking about today. Topics Discussed: Making big plans. How to overcome fear. Recognizing that you are capable.

Today on The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell welcomes Mark Malkoff — comedian, writer, filmmaker, podcaster, and the author of Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend. Mark has spent years exploring late-night television, comedy history, and what makes pop culture icons truly resonate with audiences. In this episode, Mark shares the fascinating story of why Johnny Carson became one of the most beloved figures in American television, how Carson's unique blend of humor and humanity shaped late night for decades, and what it means to follow your curiosity — even when it takes you down unexpected paths. We dive into the quirks of fandom, the power of persistence, and how looking deeply at the life of another person can illuminate universal truths about creativity, ambition, and connection. Whether you grew up watching The Tonight Show, are curious about what makes cultural icons endure, or simply want to laugh and think a little deeper, this conversation will surprise, delight, and inspire you. Interview Questions What first drew you to Johnny Carson's story — and why did you feel compelled to write a whole book about him? How did Carson's blend of vulnerability and humor make him different from other late-night hosts? What are some of the most surprising or personal stories about Carson that you uncovered? How has your work on The Carson Podcast influenced your understanding of comedy, fame, and legacy? What role does curiosity play in your creative process — both as a comedian and an author? How has comedy changed since Johnny Carson's Tonight Show era? What have your own personal projects taught you about persistence, failure, and humor? For people who feel stuck or unsure about pursuing their passions, what's one mindset shift you'd encourage? Mark explores how Carson's authenticity and entertainment-first approach made him one of the most influential figures in television for nearly three decades, shaping not just comedy but American culture. Mark's journey began as a fan — and became a lifelong exploration of what drives creativity, connection, and humor. His work shows how curiosity can deepen our understanding of others and ourselves. Carson's ability to laugh at life — including his own flaws — tells us something powerful about how comedy can bridge emotional distance and create shared experience. From obsessive fandom to meaningful storytelling, this episode explores how deep engagement with a subject can illuminate broader truths about purpose, legacy, and human striving.

In this powerful and practical episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Dan Kachtik, owner of King William District CrossFit in San Antonio, Texas, to break down what it really takes to build strength, longevity, and confidence at any age. With more than 15 years of experience coaching everyday athletes, Dan shares honest insights on sustainable training, smart nutrition, aging well, and why consistency matters far more than perfection. Together, Linda and Dan dive into how to train smarter after 40, how women should approach fitness during menopause, and why mindset—not motivation—is the real game changer. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to feel stronger, move better, and live with energy and purpose for decades to come. Questions Linda Asked Dan Why do so many people unknowingly undo their workouts through nutrition choices? Why is increasing protein so important for body composition and longevity? How does eating out sabotage even "healthy" diets? What role does food prep really play in achieving results? What type of training best supports longevity for people over 40 and 50? How should intensity change as we age—without taking it too easy? What do women need to consider during menopause when it comes to training? Why is lifting heavy essential for women's long-term health? How does walking support longevity and recovery? What has 15 years of gym ownership taught you about leadership and community? What separates people who transform their bodies from those who quit? What is the most important mindset shift in a fitness journey? Where can listeners learn more about you and your work? Main Themes from This Episode Strength Is a Longevity Tool Muscle is not about aesthetics—it's about independence, metabolism, brain health, and aging with confidence. Lifting weights is non-negotiable as we get older. Train Hard, But Train Smart Intensity still matters, but volume must be personalized. Strategic heavy lifting and occasional high heart-rate work preserve power, strength, and vitality. Nutrition Can Undo or Multiply Results Post-workout "rewards," restaurant meals, and hidden sugars often cancel out hard work. Real food, protein-forward meals, and preparation are key. Menopause Requires Strategy, Not Fear Women can and should train hard—but with intelligence. Managing cortisol, avoiding excessive HIIT, lifting weights, and supporting muscle retention are critical. Consistency Beats Motivation Results come from showing up repeatedly—not from willpower bursts. Small, daily commitments create lasting change. Mindset Determines Success The difference between people who succeed and those who don't comes down to ownership, positivity, and asking "How can I?" instead of "Why can't I?" Community Fuels Sustainability Longevity thrives in connection. Training with like-minded people keeps motivation high and loneliness low. Memorable Quotes "You're not rewarding yourself when you eat junk after a workout—you're undoing the work you just did." "Consistency becomes even more important as we age." "You don't stop training hard—you train smarter." "Muscle is the hardest thing for women to maintain over 50, and it's the most important." "What makes you feel old is saying you're old." "Just come tomorrow. That's it." "You have to stop asking why you can't and start asking how you can." "Your body isn't meant to get smaller—it's meant to get stronger."

In this episode of The Brief Dive, I sit down with Nuhamin and Mariamawit, two George Mason University students who serve on the Executive Board of the Ethiopian & Eritrean Student Association (EESA). We get real about what it feels like to lose your culture in college, how to stay grounded in your identity, and what keeps us connected to our roots when everything around us is pulling us in a different direction.But of course… we also got very sidetracked — in the best way possible.We talked about Habesha men slander, why some Habeshas try to “act Black,” crazy travel stories, friendship dynamics, and the hilarious realities of being East African in the U.S.Both guests are also TikTok creators, so we dive into what it really takes to go viral, why they post the type of content they do, and how they balance school, clubs, culture, and the pressure of social media.If you're Habesha, a first-gen student, a creator, or someone who feels like you're trying to keep your identity alive in a world of distractions — this episode is for you.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1INTRO MUSIC: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valmaddoxaero?igsh=MWJraWRoYmE4aXN6Mg==TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@val_maddox_music?_t=ZT-8yRqOSfTGFj&_r=1Both Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@marynuha?_r=1&_t=ZT-9279pSbdVJWNuhamin's Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@nuhamin_k?_r=1&_t=ZT-9278yUNZBDZMariamawit's Socials:https://www.tiktok.com/@06maryy06?_r=1&_t=ZT-9278vR8keJDTimestamps:00:00 Preview0:24 Intro3:52 "Who's Most Likely To...?"7:20 Why They Joined EESA at GMU?8:01 How These Two First Met11:18 Is Your Content A Job To You?13:56 Their Favorite TikTok They've Ever Made17:11 Balancing School, Content, & EESA?20:04 Keeping Eachother Accountable24:06 Choosing Their Career Paths?29:38 Friendships Outside The Habesha Community37:40 Why Some Habeshas Try To "Act Black"?46:30 Roller Coasters47:56 How Their Friendship Affected Them49:38 Crazy Travel Stories53:00 Have They Lost Their Culture?56:40 Habesha Community And Their Content?1:06:43 Is This Generation Too Sensitive?1:11:44 Where Did Habesha Men Slander Come From?!1:16:55 Marry Men Back Home vs. Marrying Here?1:20:03 What Helps Them Preserve Their Culture?1:22:40 Showing Affection In Habesha Friendships/Families1:24:57 Last Piece Of Advice1:28:10 Dive & Deliver1:34:39 Outro
In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, pychotherapist, university lecturer and author Josie McSkimming, chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about Gutsy Girls: Love, Poetry and Sisterhood. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Gutsy Girls began as a 180,000-word biography of the poet Dorothy Porter, though later transformed into a hybrid of memoir, biography and family history. Why Gutsy Girls is a pioneering work placing sibling relationships at the centre of the narrative. Why Josie waited until both her parents had died before publishing. Why Josie shaped the 19 chapters of Gutsy Girls to mirror Dorothy Porter's published and unpublished works chronologically, from her childhood creation ‘My Pocket Book of Prayer' (spelled P-O-K-E-T), through to her acclaimed verse novels, including The Monkey's Mask. Why Josie chose the title Gutsy Girls. How Josie found her own authentic voice beyond religious constraints, while honouring the strength of all three sisters who had to forge paths beyond childhood trauma and family expectations.

I'm smiling as I release this episode as it is a little difference. I've been using AI for ideas, definitions, and other things the last few months, and I'm so intrigued with how it just knows things – it remembers and it does research so fast. Anyway – the last few weeks I've not gotten any inspiration coming my way for episodes. I've gone through a lot of challenges with support for the work I'm doing in Utah and it has just made life heavy this year. It is hard to be inspiring on this podcast, when I'm not feeling inspired. I need to do better.Just for fun, I asked Copilot to give me some text for an "inspiring 10-minute podcast script for my podcast Unleashing Sister Saints, which is for women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." It came back with 4-5 segments, and then I asked it to expand each one, so this is what I've got. Copilot has named this episode “Arise and Shine: The Power of Sisterhood in Christ.” So, for this episode I read what AI produced, and it was pretty good, actually! I felt a little inspired myself when I was reading it! :)
This week's interview with the cofounders of SheWrites.com, Kamy Wicoff and Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, is especially touching for Brooke because these two women are where it all started. This week's interview is about why community matters as told through the histories and sensibilities of two community champions who started something that lit the literary world on fire in 2009. SheWrites back then was a little bit like Substack is today, but with small breakout groups and a lot of meet-ups happening in the real world. The feminist sensibility of SheWrites was what drew Brooke to the platform, and to Kamy and Deborah in those early days when she was a Senior and then Executive Editor at Seal Press—and this origin story is both a walk down memory lane and an inspiring episode on the enduring power of community. Kamy Wicoff is a writer, former publisher, and psychotherapist with a degree in social work. Kamy holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia and is the author of several books, including the novel Wishful Thinking and the nonfiction book I Do But I Don't: Why the Way We Marry Matters, and has contributed to multiple anthologies, most recently Feminists Reclaim Mentorship: An Anthology. Kamy is the cofounder of She Writes Press. She serves as a trustee on the board of the Brooklyn Public Library and lives with her husband and their four sons in Brooklyn. Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, PhD is a Visiting Scholar in Gender & Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University and the author of Sisterhood, Interrupted and co-editor of the literary anthology Only Child. She is a regular on Chicago's “live lit” storytelling stages. Deborah's essay “My Husband, the Reluctant Barista” just appeared this past October in the Modern Love column at The New York Times. Her op-eds and essays on gender, motherhood, family, feminism, and writing have appeared in Slate, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and elsewhere. She's a TEDx speaker, a longtime coach and champion of writers, and her coaching company, Girl Meets Voice, Inc., has supported hundreds of established and emerging writers. Together, they cofounded SheWrites.com in 2009. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
When The Mama's Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn't even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver's licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don't stay kids forever.Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you're not alone in this season.Follow The Mama's Den on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themamasdenpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do you struggle with adversity? Do you feel like you are out of control over your circumstances, and the events that happen in your life? If so, you are not alone. The age of social media often causes us to play the comparison game which forces us into a dark place where we start to just pretend to be someone we are not in order to look better to the outside world. Listen to the podcast HERE In this episode I talk with Brandon Farbstein who at the age of two was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. For much of his childhood he felt out of place and lost until he found his place on a Tedx stage. He now hope to inspire people to see the world through a different lens.

In this episode, we dive straight into the raw reality of what true masculine initiation actually looks like—far beyond the pop-psychology clichés. Jaguar Heart returns to share an unfiltered account of the heartbreak, trauma, illness, loss, and psychological dismantling that forced him into his next stage of individuation. From splitting from the mother construct to confronting toxic feminine dynamics, Jaguar offers a rare look inside the male awakening that modern culture avoids at all costs.
