What happens when your nervous system resets everything—your identity, your voice, your business? In this week's episode of Raving Coaches, I sat down with Michelle Holling-Brooks, founder of Unbridled Change, whose journey through a near-death coma and complete memory loss led her to rebuild her life (and eventually her coaching practice) from the ground up. We talk about how horses became her first teachers in healing, and how intuition, energy, and presence have become the foundation of her work with clients today. Michelle shares how she went from hiding behind what she calls her “science shield” to creating a powerful framework called The Bridge of Connection. She now helps clients move from fear into love—by befriending their nervous system, their inner critic, and every part of themselves they've been told to suppress. This one is for every coach who knows they're still only showing 50% of what they're capable of.

In this follow-up episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley welcomes back guest Barb Betts for a deeper dive into a powerful idea: the confidence to build a thriving law practice begins with embracing your authentic self. For lawyers, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a strategic advantage that drives client trust, firm growth, and personal satisfaction. Barb shares her powerful concept of “17 moments”—life-changing events like teenage pregnancy and severe hair loss—that taught her to stop hiding and stand in her truth. These moments are critical for attorneys, revealing the resilience and identity needed to navigate complex legal challenges. By reflecting on your own “17 moments,” you can show up as a confident expert, not a performer, in client meetings and courtrooms. Barb offers practical strategies for building a law firm with confidence: Price with Confidence: Stop people-pleasing and charge what your expertise is worth. Barb explains how underpricing stems from self-doubt, a common trap for solo attorneys. Be the Expert, Not a Performer: Clients hire you to solve problems they can't, from divorces to business disputes. Authenticity builds trust and fosters loyal client relationships. Embrace Self-Doubt: Imposter syndrome signals growth. Use it to refine your approach and strengthen your practice. Align Practice with Purpose: Authenticity creates a rewarding practice and a balanced life, fulfilling the Great Practice, Great Life ethos. This episode offers actionable insights to overcome self-doubt, stand firm in your value, and build a thriving practice. Tune in to learn how building a law firm with confidence transforms your client relationships, pricing strategy, and life. In this episode: Exploring authenticity as a pathway to genuine success in life and law with Barb Betts The power of “17 moments” that shape professional and personal identities Embracing vulnerability and self-awareness to enhance client relationships and personal fulfillment Differentiating between being an expert and a performer in the legal profession, and the impact on client relationships Navigating pricing strategies, avoiding people-pleasing, and standing firm in your value Using emotional intelligence and honest communication to build client trust Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Turns out, shielding your team from stress doesn't protect them—it breaks trust. And if you've ever found yourself trying to carry it all alone? You're not the only one. There's a swirl every modern leader experiences. So we're going there. Keynote speaker for joy at work Jenn Whitmer and podcast and livestream producer Shelby Merryweather are digging into what actually builds trust, especially when the pressure's on and you're figuring out how to lead through change.

Have you ever been frustrated that you can't break a habit you want to leave behind? What we need most isn't new behavior — it's a new heart. We need Jesus to heal what's under the surface.

Send us a textHave you ever found yourself playing a grown-up version of hide and seek with God? In this raw and powerful episode, barber and TikTok influencer Dallas Noel opens her heart about the journey from spiritual hiding to authentic faith.Dallas takes us through her childhood marked by maternal abandonment and paternal abuse, sharing how these experiences distorted her view of God as someone to fear rather than trust. Her rebellious teenage years eventually led her father to drop her at her biological mother's doorstep in Spokane, Washington – a place where both her greatest struggles and most profound transformation would unfold.What sets this conversation apart is Dallas's refreshing honesty about mental health struggles within faith communities. "Mental health is a big deal," she emphasizes, "and it is a hidden thing. People don't want to talk about it." Her breakthrough came not through simple prayers but through a desperate cry to God after waking up unable to recognize herself in the mirror. The divine response she received – "Your drinking isn't the problem; your problems are the problems" – sparked a sobriety journey approaching three years.Now running Surrendered Studios on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where God specifically directed her, Dallas uses her barbering skills and a social media platform with over 130,000 followers to minister to hurting people. Her ministry philosophy is beautifully simple: "We are not just giving free haircuts and then saying good luck with your life. We are called to walk beside people who are still hurting, because I've been there."Whether you're battling addiction, questioning your faith, or simply feeling like you need to hide parts of yourself from God, Dallas's story reminds us that true transformation begins with radical honesty. As host Ron Myers reminds us, "He knows what you're going through. He's got his arms open. Just walk into his arms."Ready to quit playing hide and seek with God? Listen now and discover how coming out of hiding might be your first step toward authentic healing.If you would like to be a guest and share your story, click this link: https://thepromoter.org/story/ Thanks for Listening, and subscribe to hear a new episode each week!

In this episode, Debbie Millman shares how to begin—even when you feel unready, unqualified, or full of doubt. Debbie is a designer, author, educator, and host of the pioneering podcast Design Matters. She's also the chair of the Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts and editorial director at Print magazine. We talk about the creative risks Debbie took later in life, why fear and shame shaped her early path, and how she found fulfillment by making deeply personal work—without waiting for permission. From the grief of losing family to the joy of marrying at 57, this is a raw, powerful conversation about love, legacy, and the courage to start—even if you feel like a mess. Some highlights we explore: The myth of readiness – Why waiting to feel “good enough” keeps us stuck in place. Failures that shaped the path – From rejected applications to bad jobs, how struggle created space for clarity. Creating without permission – Why Debbie's most meaningful work began when she stopped waiting to be chosen. Enjoy!  

If you've been hurt by others SO many times that you can't face conflicts, disappointments and sad moments, – that's what I call playing small. And it stops you from being able to heal or change. Life involves friction. Facing it is how we grow. I played small for most of my life -- and maybe you have too. In this video -- part of a multi-part series -- I show you what I looked like when I played small (and what caused that), and what I look like now.

I love delving into marketing, so this was a really interesting chat and I came away from it feeling inspired and ready to market myself!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Siobhan D. Flowers, a licensed psychotherapist, educator, and wellness consultant, to dive into the emotional challenges many face when transitioning into entrepreneurship. Together, we unpack the fears and uncertainties that come with starting a business and how they affect your identity, relationships, and overall mental well-being. Dr. Flowers offers practical advice on how to embrace fear without letting it define you, and we explore how to depersonalize emotions to maintain focus. We also discuss the difference between high achievement and overachievement—highlighting the importance of self-care and balance as you pursue your goals. Join us as we reframe discomfort as a powerful catalyst for growth and break down how overachieving often masks deeper feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. Tune in to gain valuable insights on managing your emotions, prioritizing your mental health, and setting yourself up for sustainable success. KEY POINTS:  - Dr. Siobhan Flowers' career background  - On understanding our biological response to fear  - The pivotal role to stay grounded - The difference between high achieving and overachieving - Procrastination and self-awareness in business growth - How identity and self-perception can impact success - On overcoming common mindset traps by black entrepreneurs - The importance of community, mindfulness, and neutralizing emotions QUOTES:  “The more grounded we feel, [the more] we allow the emotions to come and go. We remind ourselves this is a temporary state. Again, the emotions are visitors.” – Dr. Siobhan D. Flowers  “Embrace the fear. The fear itself is not the enemy… [Do] not internalize it, you can make mistakes but not feel like you are a mistake.

YOU know what you do in your shop. YOU know what you sell. But does your community know what your shop is all about?    This episode is all about putting an end to the assumption that people in your community know what you do and what you sell in your retail business. I'm here to tell you that you have to be talking about your shop and your business so much that even YOU are almost sick of hearing it!   How do you know if you are talking enough about your biz? Here's some homework: Identify your best-selling categories (jeans, jewelry, candles, etc.) Go through all of your social media & selling platforms (email, FB, etc) and figure out how often you are actually sharing these categories. Also, identify HOW you are sharing the categories: is it just through live video or just static photos? You need to mix it up! Make sure you are highlighting your best sellers inside of your store through visually appealing displays and great signage. Tell the stories of your products.   This short episode can have a huge impact on your business if you take 20 minutes out of your next CEO date to do a quick audit of how and how often you are sharing your best-selling categories.

 With host retail coach Wendy Batten    https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   In This Episode:    Let's have a coffee chat around being a big deal in your community, shall we?   Recently, I had a conversation with a client where she relayed to me that being a “big deal” in her community felt awkward for her because she didn't want to show off or flaunt herself. I want to be the first to tell you that being a big deal isn't about you personally, but rather, it's about making sure your brand is known in your community. It's about knowing what makes your brand special and making sure your community knows. It's about having confidence in what you are doing in your retail store and sharing it with your community.   “Confidence comes from doing.”   If you need a little pep talk around gathering the confidence to get your name out there in the community, this coffee chat is for you! Grab yourself a cup and let's dive in. Be sure to check out the related podcast list this week for a deep dive on visibility.    Ready to Level Up?
