Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with the final Motivate Your Monday episode and your host, Diane Wyzga. As you know, the ending of every story holds the beginning of a new one. I'm retiring 60 Seconds and Motivate Your Monday episodes. Instead of ending these changes are evolving to Begin Anew. I launched my podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk in April 2020 as a platform for conversations with women who were walking their lives until their lives were flipped upside down by something unexpected, how they met the challenges, and changed to becoming stronger, even more confident women. I loved every single moment of listening stories out of my guests! COVID flipped our lives upside down, too. We were no longer commuting to work over long distances or in cars. Who would have the time to listen to a 30 or 40-minute conversation? What to do? Pivot to 60 Seconds. No one was offering this format. Turned out that I was really good at distilling topics, ideas and stories into soundbytes to inform, illuminate, delight, and comfort my listeners. At the same time I created a Listener Location Shout-out to kick off each episode to acknowledge and thank you for listening. How did I know where you were listening? The Simplecast platform provides a global map with yellow dots that light up the villages, towns and cities where your feet touch the ground all around the world. Each shout-out included a URL linked to the location so that other listeners could “armchair travel” to that place. Imagine how much I learned about my global audience. Some 1,330 episodes and close to 250,000 plays later it's time to do something different. But what? Running like a river beneath the surface of the lived experience moments of our lives is a deeper, truer one waiting to be acknowledged. How do I acknowledge that deeper truth? What will I hear when I let my Life speak? Where will it lead me next so that I can make the transitions I seek while inviting you to come along with me on the journey? I promise you this: the voice you have come to know and trust for over 6 plus years on the airwaves, along with the stories, insights, questions and prompts that speak to each of us as if to say, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S.Lewis] I'd like to focus my creative efforts on producing “Diane on Mic” short-form episodes—maybe 7 minutes or so of spoken word—for Wednesdays on Whidbey and Story Prompt Friday. CTA: Let's continue making the very most of the time we have together, uncovering, discovering, shaping and sharing our stories. Let me know what you think. If there is something you're curious about, something you'd like to hear as my podcast begins anew, please email me and let me know: info@quartermoonstoryarts.net or subscribe on Substack.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Maybe like me you've experienced that profound shift where you stop adjusting your presence to fit the room and start defining who you are on your own terms.   Five years ago I pivoted from guest interviews to daily 60 Seconds podcast episodes. COVID kept us home. I needed a new way to talk with listeners who were no longer commuting to work in cars. 60 Seconds fit the bill for me. I could offer you, my listeners, sound-bytes designed to delight, inspire, motivate, comfort, and prompt you to recognizing and working on your own stories. I developed hundreds of clear, concise and cogent episodes just for you—and me, too.   Now as I find myself at the crossroads of Identity and Invisibility I want to use our time together to speak directly to that internal ache for self-discovery, self-expression, and self-confidence—mine right alongside yours. An emotional weight occupies so many of us in this middle season of life. I call it "Middle-Earth-Aged"© for the magic, the wisdom, the insight we possess. Ours is a restless ache that asks: But who am I when no one is asking me to be anything for them? When you start to investigate that ache, you move past the surface. You enter the space of self-discovery. You realize that you aren't just a collection of roles you perform for other people. You are claiming your own narrative and voice; maybe for the first time. CTA: Join me in an experiment here as we embark on the emotional journey of "Middle-Earth-Aged-Women"© seeking ourselves while mirroring each other's quest for a newer and truer Identity.  You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode  with a generous 5-star review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time! AND!  Stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website during reconstruction, email me [info@quartermoonstoryarts.net] to arrange a no-obligation Discovery Call, and stay current with me as Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

Tobin continues to play a sound byte that makes everyone uncomfortable. The gang reacts to the Miami Hurricanes alternative unis for this weekend… the jury is still out on if they are good or not? Tobin makes Jfig explain the unnecessary pockets on her pants… things get weird. We wrap up the show putting our finishing thoughts on the breaking news from this morning that Miami Heat's Terry Rozier and Portland Head Coach Chauncy Billups have been arrested by the FBI.

Has your business hit a growth plateau? If so, this episode is for you. Because building a brand isn't just about good design or smart strategy–it's about finding your voice and using it to create opportunities. In this special conversation, I joined Brian Mattocks on The Hard to Market Podcast to talk about the lessons I've learned running The brandiD for more than 15 years, and why your voice is often the most powerful marketing tool you have. Your Voice Builds Your Pipeline If your growth has slowed, hiding behind the work won't turn things around. You need to put your voice out there. I share how podcasting, LinkedIn, and even simple visibility habits can attract the right people to your business, even if you're introverted. Focus Creates Momentum Trying to speak to everyone dilutes your message. When I relaunched MyPath101, narrowing the audience and leaning on partnerships made all the difference. You'll hear how choosing focus over frenzy during slow periods can create the traction your business needs. Enjoy this episode…  Soundbytes 05:23 - 05:48 “Our growth has been completely organic over these last 14-15 years, except for some partnerships and people who stumbled upon us through Google searches. But even those partnerships have been organic, meaning they just kind of came about by happenstance. I wasn't overly intentional about creating them, but we've always done really good work, and my team is exceptional at what they do.” 08:33 - 09:00 “When I launched that company, it was in 2015. Then we had three different target audiences. It was parents, the students themselves, and high school and college administrators, and we were trying to sell to all three…That wasn't the best move, because it was really difficult to speak to all three through one website.” 29:20 - 29:41 “I lean on my faith, quite honestly, more than ever when things get a little sticky. Whether it's personnel changes or a little uptick in business, I honestly pray about it. That the right people come our way.” Quotes “I'm here to help people be limitless in whatever their journey is.” “Strategy is great, but it's nothing if you don't do something with it.” “I love helping people figure out what they're here to do and then bring light to them, you know, to shine on their journey.” Links mentioned in this episode: Connect with brandiD Find out how top leaders are increasing their authority, impact, and income online.

Elizabeth sits down with social media expert and SoundBytes creator Taylor Stonack for an honest and hilarious conversation about business pivots, letting go of perfection, and why visibility matters more than virality. Taylor shares how she built Sweet Potato Social out of necessity, trusted her team through a risky new idea, and turned a scrappy pivot into a thriving membership. You'll hear why community matters, why celebrating others attracts success, and how taking action—before you feel ready—can completely transform your business.

Want to be seen as the go‑to expert in your space?  Start with a book. Not just for sales, but for shaping a brand that people recognize, trust, and remember. This is a special episode where I joined Christine on the Your Daily Writing Habit. I shared how, over 14 years at The brandiD, I've helped entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders grow their businesses online. Why Your Book Can Be the Fastest Path to Authority If you want to be recognized as the go-to expert in your field, a book is one of the most powerful tools you can create. It packages your expertise into something tangible, builds instant credibility, and works as intellectual property you can monetize and leverage.  Self-publishing can generate direct income, but the bigger value is in what the book leads to: higher-ticket client work, keynote invitations, workshops, and programs that deepen your authority. How to Keep Your Book Working for You Long After Launch Your book shouldn't gather dust once it's published. Pull out key ideas or stories and turn them into social posts and blog articles to keep your message in circulation. Offer a free chapter to grow your email list. Use it to pitch media interviews, local speaking engagements, or library events that connect you with new audiences. And most importantly, get clear on your visibility goals first—whether that's a TEDx stage or building a loyal local following—so every action you take moves you closer to that vision. Enjoy this episode… Soundbytes 07:07 - 07:18 “If someone has enough know-how in a particular area and can put it all in a book, it is such a stamp of approval.” 07:40 - 07:55 “Not everybody has the perseverance and the vision to write a book, and for the people that do, it can so easily be spun into courses or membership sites, keynote speeches, or workshops.” Quotes “A book is a great marketing lead magnet.” “Only be active on social media where your potential target market may be.” “There's so much strategy that goes into the copywriting of a website.” Links mentioned in this episode: Connect with brandiD Easy Tips to Adjust your website: https://buildmybrandid.com/website-tweaks/  Personality Quiz: https://content.leadquizzes.com/lp/jqgbMsr00g  Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?  Contact us here: https://thebrandid.com/contact-form/ From Our Guest Host, Christine Ink Website: https://christine-ink.com/ Connect with Christine Ink on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineink/
