What if true confidence isn't something you build—but something you rediscover within yourself? In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore the theme of building confidence through self-connection, particularly in midlife. They discuss the importance of introspection, recognizing disconnection from oneself, and the core practices that can help individuals reconnect with their values and desires. The conversation emphasizes that true confidence comes from within and is about being authentic and unapologetically oneself. They also provide practical tips for listeners to cultivate self-connection and confidence in their daily lives. Inside This Conversation: Confidence is built through self-connection and introspection. Midlife is a time for rediscovering who you are. True confidence comes from within, not external validation. Recognizing disconnection from oneself is crucial for growth. Practices like journaling and mindfulness can enhance self-connection. Honoring your values is essential for building confidence. Celebrating small wins helps reinforce self-acceptance. Setting boundaries is a form of self-connection. Doubt is a natural part of the journey to confidence. Being unapologetically you is about being at home with yourself. Connect With Us:

The guys open with barbershop energy, debating Dave Chappelle vs. Eddie Murphy, fresh off Damo catching Chappelle live, before pivoting into Courtney's early life in the South, her family dynamics, and how her upbringing shaped the way she learned to love, trust, and lead. She opens up about her father figures, teenage pregnancy, abortion, and the boundaries she had to build to protect her peace. Courtney reflects on her early Navy journey—boot camp, A-school, and those unforgettable early days in uniform—sharing stories of laughter, adversity, and lessons learned. Aaron delivers a hilarious breakdown of “honch monsters,” and the crew swaps memories of Great Lakes and the RDC grind. Courtney discusses the mentors who taught her the value of training your reliefs, the importance of accountability, and what ultimately inspired her to write Unapologetically Favored after a viral post questioning empty “thank-you for your service” gestures. Listener questions about leadership spark a powerful exchange on the role of First Class Petty Officers and why leaders must trust their people enough to let them lead, fail, and grow. From being married against her nature and struggling with instinct to finally embracing her truth and telling her mom, Courtney walks listeners through the courage it took to live authentically under Don't Ask, Don't Tell. She shares the impact of good mentorship, the value of grace after mistakes, and how faith and resilience helped her rise through adversity. Damo introduces the idea of giving Sailors “scarlet letters” for their failures, which leads to a discussion about forgiveness, perception, and leadership growth. Courtney also reflects on what she learned from a failed BCA. It's three hours of honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom—laughter, confession, mentorship, and faith woven into one conversation. From barbershop debates to leadership lessons to spiritual redemption, this episode captures everything Permission to Speak Freely stands for: real people, real leadership, and real conversations that matter.       Do you have a “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

The music industry can be hard to navigate, and harder to stomach. Sometimes, the industry seems to magnify all of your biggest insecurities, and the Imposter Syndrome is real.BUT electro-pop artist Robbie Wabi Sabi says that we artists have to stick together, and that you have to be your own biggest fan. You also have to connect meaningfully with your audience.In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Robbie Wabi Sabi, a synthesizer-obsessed drum machine lover who's been writing and producing his own music since the 1980s. While Robbie's career in music has experienced multiple iterations and transformations, he feels like THIS era is his best one yet--in part because of the enthusiasm he has for his own music and for the music community in which he exists and creates. He shares his tips for building self-confidence, keeping oneself relevant, and maintaining joy while creating. He also talks about his latest single, "Beautiful and Nerdy," and tells Emmeline why every Robbie Wabi Sabi show is actually one big party.To learn more about Robbie Wabi Sabi, or to follow his musical journey, find him on Instagram, check him out on YouTube, or stream his music on Spotify. For behind-the-scenes information and more about Journey of an Artist, visit the Journey of Series official webpage, or follow Emmeline on social media at @EmmelineMusic.

It's often a touchy subject for consultants and employees in the nonprofit sector – how much should you charge/be paid for your work? Truthfully, the answer varies based on your education, experience, and know-how. Charging less than your worth because you're working for a nonprofit does not mean you care more for nonprofits in general or the mission of one nonprofit in particular.

One of the best things about hunting is that you get to do it your way. Unfortunately, in today's social media driven world, we've let outside influences have to much control over how we hunt. It's time we got back to how it used to be. Hunt for yourself and no one else. Unapologetically. It's not selfish, or inconsiderate, it's preservation. Don't let anyone take away from you what hunting can be.Ridge Hunter Products and Merchandise:Ridgehunteroutdoors.comDiscount Code: RHOPOD for 10% off everything in your orderSubmit questions or comments to: Ridgehunteroutdoors@gmail.comFind us on Social:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC50IZ_HE2pnMBjRyPpmgvMg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RidgeHunterOutdoors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ridgehunteroutdoors/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RidgeHunterOD

Send us a textIt's tough to get noticed in Hollywood, and today's guest made a career by helping others do just that. She was one of the entertainment industry's most respected and sought-after media and publicity strategists, ran her own talent management firm (B. Company), and now she works with Late Show legend, Stephen Colbert… as president of his production company Spartina. Carrie inspires me and so many other women by being a kind leader in a tough industry, her dedication to her team, and her 1.8 second-response time to text messages. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for years, there's something here for you. So grab a cup of tea, buckle up and tune in!In this episode, we discussFinding the confidence to start your own thing in the entertainment industry - TWICE!Handling comparative pressure, facing down obstacles and refusing to apologize for who you are.Balancing high demands on your time while finding time to live a lifeHer genius method to get to inbox zero-ish (I've tried it, it works!)The women that have lifted HER up.This episode at a glance:[08:23] What helped Carrie take off on her own: she wanted to contribute to the choices that her clients were making, not just enhance the work they were already doing. And it just took one client, America Ferrara, to say “I see you as that” to give her the confidence to *be* that.[20:45] The main reason Carrie said YES to running Stephen and Evelyn Colbert's production company, Spartina: If that YES is loud, if something magnetic is pulling you, that's telling.[31:08] Carrie's empowering leadership style: she taps into people's strengths and celebrates the things her team can do that she can't. If you have a team of clones, you won't succeed. [44:05] Carrie was surrounded by strong female role models, starting with her mom, author and speaker Marcia Byalick. She learned from great women in her industry like Kelly Bush Novak, Lesley Dart, Lois Smith, and Pat Kingsley.[58:03] What's on Carrie's Times Square billboard: “There's always a ticket”.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined in-studio for the very first time by Dr. Amanda Lewis — a brilliant, grounded dentist and spiritual visionary who left the “safe path” behind to create a life of deeper purpose, love, and alignment.
