In this deeply personal episode, I share a major shift that's been unfolding behind the scenes.For nearly four decades, I've been the woman behind the curtain amplifying voices, building brands, and supporting others as they step into their purpose. It's a role I love and one I've lived fully. But recently, a university interview turned the spotlight on me, and it sparked something I couldn't ignore. This moment made me realize it's time to take my own advice. To stop hiding behind the work and bring my full voice to the front. I've spent years telling Black women to own their power, use their voice, and honor their truth.Now I'm doing the same. In this episode, I'm officially sharing why Black Women Amplified is going on sabbatical, and how that space made room for what's next—The Monica Wisdom Podcast. This isn't a rebrand. It's a return. A reclamation.A decision to stop playing small and step fully into my own voice. You'll hear the story behind the shift, what it's teaching me, and what to expect as I move forward in a more visible, personal, and powerful way.Tune in. We're just getting started.

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some families build wealth for generations while others struggle despite hard work? The answer lies in understanding the game of personhood most people never learn.Don Kilam pulls back the curtain on how the legal system classifies individuals through what he calls "amalgamation" - the merging of natural and legal personhood that happens when your name appears in all capital letters on official documents. This isn't random formatting but designates your name as a business entity, creating the foundation for how you're treated within commerce and taxation.While most of us operate with our Social Security numbers as our primary identifier, private families have long understood how to navigate around these limitations. They establish trusts that protect assets and transfer wealth tax-free across generations - explaining the origin of "trust fund babies." Meanwhile, public families unknowingly participate in what Kalam describes as "the public trust fund" through Social Security, subjecting themselves to taxation most could legally avoid with proper knowledge.The most profound revelation comes when Kalam explains that the United States is legally defined as a "federal corporation" (28 USC 3002, section 15A), making citizenship equivalent to participation in a business structure. This corporate framework explains why your last name represents more than just family lineage - it's intellectual property and a potential business asset when structured correctly.For those tired of living paycheck to paycheck while others seem to effortlessly preserve wealth, this episode provides the first glimpse into how informed families operate differently than uninformed ones. The difference isn't just about income but about structure - creating separate entities that receive money for your family rather than having individuals directly receive income.Ready to break free from financial limitations and learn how prosperity is your divine birthright? Join Don's private community at skool.com/donkilam to discover how to build your family's legacy through private trust structures and proper asset protection.In "United States Of Pimpin'," Don Kilam shares his perceptions from his street culture to explain the corporate world in a way that may feel uncomfortable yet brutally honest. He outlines ten rules from the "pimp game" alongside ten principles that apply to society and governance. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9QHGRGS FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Million-Dollars-Worth-Game-Kilam/dp/B09HQZNRB9 https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

383 Your True Enemy Is Self-Doubt Our internal messages shape who we are, whether they be positive or negative messages, shape who we are and how we carry ourselves through life, which is why it is so vital to stop and reflect on our messages and the input from those around us. We can learn alot from our personal board of directors, they encourage and guide us with their own personal experiences allowing us to grow, including when their input is critical. In today's episode Sarah Elkins dwells on the importance of the words her own personal board has given her, the experiences that she has grown from, and how her professional and personal life have been shaped and allowed her to become the coaching powerhouse she is today. Highlights Professional Storytelling Building each other up by practicing what we teach. How our friends inspire us. What experiences in your past contributed to your internal messages? Quotes “Every professional benefits when they can share a story that demonstrates their character, their skills, and their vision.” “I can no longer allow distant periods of discomfort and whatever caused them, reign over who I am.” “I was acutely self conscious about my outfit, my voice, even my facial expressions and the way my body, arms, and hands moved as I sang. It has taken me years to let go of my fear of embarrassment, my fear of judgement. I really hope it doesn't take you nearly as long. Or if you're my age or older, that you're learning this lesson now so you don't bring regret into your later years.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you have something in your head that you really want to do, I urge you to take action right away. As May West said; “I only regret the things I didn't do.” Here are a few steps that I take when I'm working on something that feels new and maybe a little scary: I tell my closest friends what I want to do knowing they're going to ask how they can help and they'll keep me accountable. They'll ask me the hard questions to make sure I stay clear about what I'm doing and why. I use a strategy my friend and business coach Nettie Owens taught me. I schedule 15 minutes every weekday to focus on that one thing, it's on my calendar. Those 15 minute focus times show up at different parts of my day, not the same time every day. I'm very intentional with what I do with advice, criticism, and ideas I hear from others, especially if they've never done what I'm trying to do. I listen because sometimes a comment, even one that feels insulting, hurtful, or maybe even wrong, can be a catalyst toward improvement and success. Whatever it is you're challenging yourself with my friends, I would love to hear about it, and to support you as you're leaping out of your comfort zone. And, as always, thank you for listening. Mentioned In This Episode Nikki Campbell Nettie Owens Jeff Ikler 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!

382 Images of Ourselves It's a sad fact of life that we internalize narratives that are made for us at an early age, we are told we are too emotional, that we're too bossy, that we're too big, and if we do not actively try to reframe or unlearn these narratives made for us, we are forced to live out a story someone else made up for us. It is our duty to reach out and take the power back for ourselves, to wield the pen as a mighty sword, and write our own narrative for the sake of our growth and inner peace. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey A. Lee, discuss the importance of becoming the person you want to be, showing up for yourself and those you love, and how vital it is for our growth as human beings to sit with the narratives we have about ourselves and decide for ourselves if these narratives are our own genuine thoughts and beliefs or if they were a planted idea. Highlights Is the person you became, the person you wanted to be or the person you needed to be to survive? How do you show up for the people who need you? What stories and perceptions from others are you still holding onto? Quotes “My greatest performance was pretending to be okay.” “There was emotion in my home, it just didn't look like mine. It looked like yelling, fighting, and shutdowns.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, The thing that I want to ask you, you remember every time at the end of these conversations I'm asking you to consider something for yourselves. My dear friend Netty Owens asked me one time: What is the object in your image of yourself that you would like to hold on to? And I talked about the Hanukkiah, the Jewish candelabra that we use for Hanukkah. And there's one candle that's separated from the rest, so there are 9 holders, 8 for the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and the one is the leader candle or the Shamash. That candle is the one we light first, we say the first prayer and then we light all the other candles with that candle. And I like to think of myself as a Shamash, someone who knows that by lighting other candles I am in no way diminishing my own light and that when we light other candles we bring more light. And for that brief moment when we connect like Lindsey and I did, for two and a half minutes our flames were together which made that an entwined hyper bright flame, even for that one moment, and it changes the energy and dynamic in a room.

As well as her podcast Honey, Do You! 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 fan responses! What if everything you thought you knew about the legal and financial systems was designed to keep you trapped in an invisible matrix? That's the provocative question at the heart of Don Kalam's philosophy, which we unpack in this mind-expanding episode.We dive deep into Kalam's controversial "unplugging from the matrix" concept from his Dream Keepers radio podcast, exploring alternative perspectives on law, finance, and personal sovereignty that exist at the fringes of mainstream thought. From the fascinating "straw man theory" (the idea that the government creates a corporate entity in your name at birth) to the ancient Roman concept of "Capitis Diminutio Maxima" and its supposed connection to the use of all-capital letters in legal documents, we examine these unconventional ideas with both curiosity and critical thinking.The episode also unpacks the "letter rogatory" and its bold claims about courts functioning as for-profit corporations rather than institutions of justice. We discuss why these ideas appeal to people who feel disenfranchised by complex systems they don't fully understand, while also highlighting the potential risks of taking these concepts at face value without proper legal consultation.What emerges from our discussion isn't necessarily a roadmap for "escaping the system," but rather an invitation to develop critical awareness about the structures that shape our lives. The real value may not be in the specific actions Kalam recommends, but in how he encourages listeners to question assumptions, conduct independent research, and become more engaged citizens. Whether you're intrigued or skeptical, this conversation will leave you thinking more deeply about personal sovereignty and institutional transparency in an increasingly complex world.Ready to challenge your assumptions? Listen now, and don't forget to share your thoughts on these provocative theories. Which aspects make you curious to learn more, and which ones set off your skepticism alarm? We'd love to hear your perspective!In "United States Of Pimpin'," Don Kilam shares his perceptions from his street culture to explain the corporate world in a way that may feel uncomfortable yet brutally honest. He outlines ten rules from the "pimp game" alongside ten principles that apply to society and governance. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9QHGRGS https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Ever wonder why it feels like you're working to benefit someone else's interests? This eye-opening discourse reveals a startling truth: "You are the business." From the moment you flip on a light switch or pay rent, you're generating revenue within a system designed to profit from your existence.The speaker delves into the legal definition of the United States as a federal corporation, explaining how people operate as corporate property within the public sector.

From physical and emotional adjustments to reconnecting with your body, Rose and I talked about the importance of gradual training, the link between breath and movement, and how to navigate the unique demands of competing postpartum. We also addressed the common misconceptions about age and athleticism, and encouraged women to fully embrace their strength, capabilities, and evolution through motherhood and sport.

Adora Crystal Evans is a visionary media powerhouse, executive producer, and host who is redefining collaboration and empowerment for women in entrepreneurship. As the mastermind behind the Diva Network and host of Dining Divas Texas and Destination Divas TV, Adora champions financial, spiritual, emotional, and physical sovereignty for women—always in partnership with supportive men. With over 20 years in the self-development and media industries, including roles with Napoleon Hill Institute and key events alongside legends like Les Brown, Adora's story is all about strategic alliances, elevating women, and building authentic, joy-centered connections that lead to quantum leaps in personal and professional growth. Takeaways: Strategic alliances and authentic relationships collapse time: Adora reveals the power of forging just a handful of deep, meaningful connections to fast-track growth, both personally and professionally. Empowering women through collaboration, not isolation: Her journey is rooted in elevating women—financially, spiritually, and personally—within supportive networks that also include men as key allies.

Sound Bites: “You only need one to four major connections that can really collapse time.” “Mentorship isn’t just what you’re told—it's what you catch from how your mentors show up in the world.” “Being a connected person is about genuinely seeing people—whether you’re in the boardroom or at the grocery store.” Quote by Mick: “As leaders… we’re not teaching people the right thing. And so I personally believe as leaders and also I think for you too, with women, like really mentoring this next generation.” Connect & Discover Adora: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adorasgroove/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adora-evans/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/adoracrystalevans/ Website: https://adoracrystal.com/ Book: Majestic Money: The 30-Day Femme Manifesting Game FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
