I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode. Text us here...In this special crossover episode, I'm sharing something close to my heart — Empathy in Action: Expanding Our Capacity to Care — from my new podcast experiment, Brave Moves.Yes, you heard that right... This is my newest project, and I'm inviting you to come along for the experiment. Brave Moves is my journey of starting, launching, and growing a podcast from scratch, using the same tools, systems, and strategies I teach my clients every day. My goal is to show you behind the scenes what it looks like to take action before you feel “ready.”In this episode, we're diving into empathy, what it really means, why it matters, and how it changes the way we lead, love, and show up in the world.I share a recent experience that made me reflect on how quickly we are to judge others and how assumptions can limit our ability to care. When I saw a post about helping people who lost their SNAP benefits, and the comments that followed, it hit me how much our empathy has to stretch, not just for those who “look” like us, but for those whose stories we don't fully know.This episode will remind you that empathy isn't weakness, it's a strength. It's leadership. And it's the heartbeat of confidence and connection.You'll learn: • Why empathy is a leadership superpower (not a soft skill) • How assumptions and comparisons shrink our compassion • Simple, grounded ways to practice empathy every day • How to take small, brave actions that expand your capacity to careEmpathy doesn't mean doing everything. It means doing something. It means saying, “I see you, and I care.”Brave Move: Do one act of empathy today — donate, listThis is an invitation to join a supportive community of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are creating an impact in the world.A mastermind is a community of peers who exchange ideas, provide support, and offer sound advice for running a successful business.Join the Confident YOU Mastermind now at https://goconfidentlyservices.myflodesk.com/confidentyoumastermindSupport the showOther helpful resources for you: For more about me and what I do, check out my website.

Simone Boyd and Andrea Tudhope, hosts of the podcast We Are North Nashville, as they discuss the power of collecting the stories of the elders in the community to create a beautiful tapestry of legacy, love, and pride.Inspired by a series of tragic events that occurred during the pandemic, Simone set out to capture the stories of the elders in her life before it was too late.

What if the sadness you're feeling isn't just about being single... but about grieving the life you thought you'd have by now? In this episode of Single, Not Spiraling, we're talking about disenfranchised grief—the kind that doesn't get talked about because there's no funeral, no breakup, no obvious loss. Just you, quietly mourning the version of adulthood you imagined: the partner, the house, the milestones. We unpack the cultural timelines that were never built for single women, the system that still ties a woman's worth to being “chosen,” and why giving yourself permission to feel it all is the most powerful thing you can do. Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Send us a textIn this episode of The So Be It Podcast, Dr Amen Kaur explores how modern women can build confidence without burnout through nervous-system science and self-mastery.What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't burnout, but biology doing its best to keep you safe? We trace how history shaped a survival reflex that ties safety to approval and why that reflex still shows up as people pleasing, perfectionism, and self-silencing in high-stakes rooms. Drawing from epigenetics, neuroception, and practical nervous system science, we break down what happens when the amygdala takes over, why language disappears at the moment you most need it, and how to turn awareness into lasting change without white-knuckling your way through.Together, we unpack the difference between hustle-fueled productivity and presence-driven progress. You'll learn how to spot survival strategies masquerading as strengths, and how to replace them with regulated action...small, calm steps that compound into confidence and self-trust. We walk through breath cues that re-engage the prefrontal cortex, reframes for fear that honor your body's intent, and practical micro-asks that train your system to associate visibility with safety rather than threat.This is confidence as chemistry, not performance; courage as capacity, not posturing.If you're ready to stop outsourcing safety to approval or overwork, this conversation offers clear tools and compassionate language to help you lead from presence. Expect grounded strategies for asking for the raise, naming your contribution, and holding boundaries without guilt - plus a simple framework for turning awareness into action.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the one small, safe step you'll take today.

403 Choosing Love First   It's easy to forget that we have free will, that we can choose what we love, what we like, how we choose for others to perceive us. It takes a great deal of self reflection and growth to find the parts of ourselves that are willing to speak up and fight for what we believe in, even if we must speak up and fight against ourselves.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Edward Simberg discuss everything from how they met, to their deep love of storytelling, to the core beliefs they both hold dear.    Highlights How do you live the stories you share? How do your stories reflect your values? Do you put genuine human effort into reaching out to a person?  How are your self perceptions skewed? Are you conscious of how you want to be perceived? What is something you want? And what are your next steps in getting there? If you can have foundational love and gratitude your life will change.   Quotes “You need to burn that candle a little bit, before you realize how big that fire really is.” “If you want it, it's way more likely that it's going to happen.”  “We don't choose our interests, that's one of the most interesting things I've learned lately. We don't really choose our thoughts, we don't really choose our interests, they just come to us.” “Do you think love is a choice?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I have a few questions for you: The first is, what is something you say you're not good at and maybe it's time to ask yourself the question, am I not good at it or have I decided not to be good at it? Have I decided not to try? Is it something I call inauthentic when it's actually uncomfortable or I don't like it? The next thing I would love to hear from you about is what was your takeaway? I was thinking about the difference between love and like, and why I feel like love is a more important choice to people and things. Because that will color how you choose happiness as well. And Last, I would love to hear what you are going to do with this one precious life and having conversations -extended conversations- with people in your community. Now, Go.             And, as always, thank you for listening.  Mentioned In This Episode Shawn Achor TedTalk   About Edward - A digital nomad who's been traveling the world for the last 5 years - Business owner specialized in building premium websites and social media profiles - I have exercised every day for more than 5 years (haven't skipped a day) - Lover of dogs, philosophy books, fitness, travel, storytelling Be sure to check out Edward's LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram! As well as his website Max Capacity Agency!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Send us a textWhat if the plan that looks perfect on paper leaves you empty when the noise dies down? We sit with Giovanna Silvestre—creator of Confused Girl and author of Confused Girl: Find Your Peace in the Chaos—to explore how chasing boxes, status, or a picture-perfect family can't touch the deeper ache for self-worth. Giovanna walks us through leaving Hollywood, almost taking over her family's restaurant, and choosing uncertainty over a life that didn't fit. That choice cracked open depression, then clarity, and eventually the practices that helped her build a bottom to her cup so joy could finally stick.You'll hear practical tools you can use today: short daily solitude, self-talk that heals instead of harms, and simple rituals to release shame and guilt. Not a visualizer? Try embodied grounding—yoga, swimming, dance, or even structured “rage” release—to remind your nervous system you are worthy of joy. We unpack the comparison trap amplified by social media, and Giovanna offers two powerful reframes: bless what you desire when you see it, and turn envy into curiosity by asking mentors how they did it. These shifts move you from lack and timeline panic to alignment and forward motion.We also dig into why women carry inherited shame around bodies, sex, and aging, and how naming it breaks its spell. Giovanna shares the long road to publishing her book—years of writing, rejection, and then a breakthrough right before her father passed—underscoring a bigger theme: trust the timing of your life. If you've felt confused, behind, or secretly hollow while “doing everything right,” this conversation will help you choose from your true nature, not from fear. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to tell us the one illusion you're ready to release.Follow Giovanna on Instagram:www.instagram.com/ConfusedGirlLA Buy Giovanna's book:https://amzn.to/4qBjZ8X  Support the show

After years in the legal world, she decided to build a life that aligned with her values, one centered around supporting women and sparking honest conversations about topics we don't talk about enough, like menopause, mental health, and identity shifts.And let me tell you: this conversation could not have come at a better time for me personally. I'm in the early days of my own perimenopause journey, and honestly, no one really prepares you for it.

Send us a textWhat does it take to turn unimaginable adversity into a life of purpose and strength? In this deeply moving episode, Joey Pinz sits down with a TEDx speaker whose story embodies resilience, courage, and the power of transformation.Raised in poverty in the Philippines, she endured abandonment, cultural rejection, and cycles of abuse. Her path led to early motherhood, immigration to the U.S., and years of struggle through domestic violence. But instead of staying silent, she forged a new path — one she calls emotional alchemy, the practice of transforming pain into wisdom and purpose.Her journey took her from shelters to the stage of the United Nations, and eventually to the TEDx platform, where she shared her truth with the world. Through storytelling, ritual, and intentional daily practices, she shows that resilience is not a fixed trait — it's a daily choice.

This episode is a celebration of courage, compassion, and the power of purpose. Host Allison Walsh welcomes back her dear friend and changemaker Johanna Kandel, founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, as they honor the organization's 25th anniversary. What began as Johanna's deeply personal mission to ensure no one felt as alone as she once did has evolved into one of the nation's leading nonprofits—offering a free, therapist-led helpline and life-saving support groups that reach more than 30,000 people annually across 88 countries.In this heartfelt conversation, Johanna opens up about transforming pain into purpose, leading with resilience, and creating a movement that has changed the landscape of eating disorder recovery. She shares lessons on courage, collaboration, and hope, revealing how her 21-year-old self's determination became a global force for good. Listeners will walk away feeling inspired to believe in their own ability to create impact — and reminded that when we heal together, we rise together. Together, they discuss:How Johanna turned her personal recovery into the National Alliance for Eating Disorders at age 21 and built it into a global lifeline.The Alliance's real-world impact: therapist-led helplines (~8,000 calls/year), 21 free support groups, ~30,000 participants annually, and 290,000 searches on findedhelp.com.Why eating disorders are serious biopsychosocial brain illnesses (not vanity) and the importance of getting care from trained, specialty providers.How free, clinician-led support groups and peer connection (“healed people heal people”) close the access gap for people who can't get traditional treatment.The role of social media, weight stigma, and emerging trends (including GLP-1 conversations) in shaping public understanding and care needs.Johanna's innovation roadmap: partnering with social platforms and AI (OpenAI, Cloud, Gemini) to meet people where they are and expand reach.What's next for the Alliance — an ambitious goal to scale the helpline to 7 days a week, increase funding and partnerships, and keep driving down stigma.How listeners can take action: share resources, support the Alliance, or find help via findedhelp.com. 

402 Freedom in Healing Throughout life we may make decisions, or be subject to decisions made involving us. Whether it's first or second hand, inevitably we begin to believe in a pattern in the behavior around us, oftentimes leading to self doubt and worse. However, if we keep moving forward, actively choosing to make the best of a situation, to learn and grow in order to better ourselves for ourselves, we will find our freedom in healing.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Holli Tabren McEachern discuss the importance of growth, healing, and the honesty that comes with self reflection. Honesty not just with the world, but with yourself and what has happened to make you feel the way you do, and how it triggers you.    Highlights Empathy in a world of cruelty is the bravest rebellion.  How have you been programmed?  Have you ever encountered favoritism?  What choices are you making that reflect your behavior? Do you feel like you have to justify these choices?   Quotes “I think it's because we look at society, and we look at the grandma with the grandkids and the grandma always spoils the grandkids. You have this program, like your program, program from the way things are. Program from the way everybody does things.”    “And God, he prepares you for what's next. You don't know it's preparation. You don't realize that all these things that happen in your life, even the bad choices you make, will prepare you for the next thing.”  “You have to change you before anything in the situation can change.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Where are you incarcerated? What are you choosing not to see in your own decisions? That maybe with a little light on them can help you find more satisfaction and happiness in your life. It's a simple question, but the answer might be tricky. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Holli Holli Tabren is an author, speaker, mentor, and reentry specialist dedicated to helping women rebuild their lives and reclaim their power after incarceration. Once sentenced to 25 years in prison, she served 10 years before her case was overturned transforming her pain into purpose. Holli now leads the Becoming HER Framework—Healed, Extraordinary, Resilient—through workshops, books, and her soon-to-launch app, equipping justice-impacted women with tools for healing, entrepreneurship, and resilience. She is the author of Blood Ain't Thicker, The Path2Redemption Anthology, and her newest release, Becoming HER. Featured on national stages and news outlets, Holli shares her story of transformation as living proof that freedom isn't just about release; it's about rebuilding.

And be sure to check out her website Holli Tabren!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Hey lady! We know you've been doing the work. The real, soul-transformative work that opens your world to new possibilities and brighter days. We're so proud of you for making a commitment to yourself to be a better you for YOU. But, the truth is that healing does not happen in a vacuum and some of the most powerful healing happens in community. What does that mean? In short, it's time to step out of your cocoon so that you can step into your power and purpose.One of the most powerful skills in allowing community to see you, support, and help you grow to your highest potential is skillful vulnerability. We name vulnerability as a skill rather than a tool because it takes learned practice and developed discernment to use it authentically, but baby when it settles in your system you build a level of self-trust that allows you to engage with people and situations with grace and awareness that offers a true richness in life.So, are you ready to expand your capacity for real, genuine, human interactions and cultivate the life of your dreams? Tap in. Dr. Dom and Terri offer a grounded perspective of ways to increase vulnerability and signs that a certain person may not be deserving of your intimate space. As with all things pack your self-compassion and self-forgiveness as you enjoy the ride but be sure to make room for all of the beauty life has to offer when you let the real you shine.If you haven't heard it today, we love you for real lady! Quote of the Day:"Being a Strong Black Woman doesn't mean that you can't be vulnerable. It's okay to cry. It's okay if you're having a bad day. It's okay if some days you feel like giving up. It's okay if you need to ask for help." – Stephanie Lahart  Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

Whether that be leaving your hometown or simply stepping into a new field, we must challenge ourselves to unlock our true potential.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Sarah Degn discuss how important it is to spread your own wings and to travel outside of your comfort zone and to find who you are through your own skills and knowledge.    Highlights Leaving home behind to pursue your dreams. It's never too late to try and to explore. Learning and growing as an individual to in turn help your community.   Quotes “You can come back, just the reminder that yes you absolutely should go experience something beyond your small town.” “You just need to find the new opportunities and things that are missing.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah and I spoke for nearly an hour about what it's like to explore our identities through our youth and maybe come back home, and find out what life is like and how our identities can be shaped by our environments and by the things that we think are important. We talked about what it's like to travel and tell people our story so that they uncover their own stories and that they can understand truly what the rest of the world could look like. It was full of inspiration and ideas and now I want to know, what will you do with this? What was one thing that stood out in this conversation? I'd love to hear from you.    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah Degn Sarah is a fourth generation farmer near Sidney, MT.

As well as The Montana Farmers Union, and The National Farmers Union!   About Sarah Elkins "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

What if everything you've been taught about productivity and business strategy was designed for someone else's biology? In this eye-opening conversation, former Disney chef turned business strategist Katrina Van Oudheusden reveals the missing piece in women's entrepreneurial education: understanding and leveraging the female infradian rhythm.Katrina shares her journey from thirteen years in Disney's kitchens to discovering that traditional business approaches weren't serving women entrepreneurs. After noticing women consistently struggled with rigid time management systems that men seemed to thrive with, she began exploring the biological differences that might explain this disconnect. What she discovered transformed her approach to business and life.The female monthly cycle isn't just about reproduction, it creates predictable patterns in creativity, communication ability, detail orientation, and energy levels that can be strategically harnessed for business success. Katrina breaks down the four phases of the infradian rhythm and explains how each brings unique cognitive strengths: the follicular phase for visionary planning, the ovulatory phase for crystal-clear communication and sales, the luteal phase for detail work and task completion, and the menstrual phase for neural connectivity and integration.Perhaps most fascinating is how this knowledge is already being applied by high-performers. Katrina reveals how the 2019 US Women's Soccer Team reportedly structured their training around players' cycles, contributing to their World Cup victory. For women entrepreneurs who feel burned out trying to follow productivity systems that conflict with their biology, this conversation offers both validation and a practical new approach.Ready to discover your unique flow and leverage your biological rhythms for greater success?

Hey lady! The weather's cooling down but for some of us that doesn't necessarily mean that your body is lowering the temperature. Why? Because perimenopause is a thing and it's time we talk about it and why it's impacting Black women more and earlier than other women.Friend of the podcast and all-around boss babe, Dr. Janet Williams, a Los Angeles-based OB/GYN and author of Why Don't I Like Sex Anymore? The Grown Woman's Guide to Getting Your Groove Back and Claiming Your Truth joins Dr. Dom and Terri to get real about a natural station in life for every cis-gendered woman. You may remember the many jewels she dropped in season 25, episode 5 urging women to take more ownership in their intimate pleasure. She's now back to arm Black women with the information they need during one of the most significant changes in life.

But, before you rise in your feminine power there are some things to know to make the journey smoother…and less sweaty.Dr. Janet not only provides a clear definition of what menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are but also break down what is happening in the body and provide specific markers you can use as a guide to help you inform yourself about where you are on the journey. Dr. Janet uses her expertise to offer guidance on treatments like hormone replacement therapy, demystifies the sometimes-inexplicable changes happening in the body, and clears up myths and confusion around proper supplementation to ease some of the uncomfortable symptoms that occur during each phase.Lady, you already know where to go to get your level-up journal (Patreon), but there's more on Patreon as well.
