Georgia Jeffries is the Emmy-nominated TV writer/producer who became the first individual female screenwriter to earn a Writers Guild Award for Episodic Drama for her work on the ground-breaking series Cagney & Lacey. Her debut is The Younger Girl: A Dark Labyrinth of Family Betrayal, based on a true crime. It was described by bestselling author Rachel Howzell Hall as “...historical fiction at its best. … [and] an eye-opening, immersive story about a family, then and now, nearly stripped bare from greed and the steadfast refusal to acknowledge a painful past.” Jeffries has written docudramas and series pilots for CBS, ABC, NBC, HBO, and Showtime and is a professor at USC's School of Cinematic Arts where she created the first undergraduate screenwriting thesis program at an American university.

What if the reason things aren't moving isn't because we're doing something wrong—but because we're still negotiating with the outcome? In this episode, I explore the idea that certainty is the force that shapes reality. Not belief. Not wishing. Not hoping. But the quiet, embodied knowing that the outcome is already decided. We talk about why belief can still wobble, why faith has been taught across centuries, and how certainty lives deeper—in the body, the nervous system, and our identity. We look at real-world examples where certainty moved mountains long before proof existed, and why reality consistently responds to clarity instead of effort. This conversation is about moving differently.Choosing differently.And taking responsibility for what we're being certain about—consciously or unconsciously. If this episode found you, consider it a sign to move with more confidence, more faith, and more ownership of your life. Stop waiting for permission. Decide who you are. Decide what's next. And let reality adjust. I love you. Julie

Sarah Vogel was born in Auschwitz and liberated at age three, but she has no memories of being there and nobody to tell her the story of her birth or her mother. Becoming Sarah (Diane Botnick, She Writes Press 2025) grapples with identity, memory, belonging, and reinventing oneself. Sarah's trajectory is filled with both happiness and extreme loss, and she finds love, friendship, and home, but the lies she invented as a survivor follow her through her daughters and granddaughters, each of them survivors of something. Diane was born and raised in Akron, Ohio, but always knew she'd wind up in New York City. Her first night in Greenwich Village she went to a double feature of Godard's “Weekend” and Wiseman's “Titicut Follies,” and her romance with the city began. For the next 30 years, Diane worked around, starting out in Italy assisting people like Jerome Robbins and Ellen Stewart with their contributions to the Spoleto Festival, then back in the City for the Dia Art Foundation, Isamu Noguchi, Great Performances at WNET, and finally, Workman Publishing. Along the way, she returned to school in pursuit of a master's in creative writing at City College. Fulfilling all requirements but unable to pass the French exam (with a dictionary!), she was never awarded her diploma. However, the privilege of being mentored by Donald Barthelme and being appointed student editor of the literary magazine FICTION gave her far more than a diploma ever could.

What if writing a book wasn't just about telling your story, but about becoming who you're meant to be? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand podcast, host Lisa McGuire is joined by bestselling author and brand strategist Mike Kim, to uncover the raw, creative, and often chaotic truth behind writing a transformational book. Mike doesn't just teach branding. He lives and embodies it. And in this conversation, he opens up about the mandate to write, the emotional rollercoaster of authorship, and how your book may end up shaping you more than you shape it. If you've ever felt a whisper saying "you have something to say," this episode is your invitation to start. You'll walk away not only with practical steps to begin, but a new way to see yourself as someone already becoming the next version of who you were meant to be. KEY TAKEAWAYS Writing a book can change the author more than the audience. There's a big difference between wanting to write, feeling called, and being mandated. Your manuscript is not a project—it's a relationship. Most people quit in the "messy middle," but that's where the transformation begins. There is no perfect writing process—only your process. AI can't replace your energy, stories, or lived experience. Writing connects you to a deeper identity—one you've been evolving toward. Creating space from social media can reignite creative fire. The "book that writes you" reveals truths you didn't know you were carrying.

Part 2 of 2 Bestselling author and award-winning journalist Adam Skolnick returns to chat with us about the mystery of the creative process, why timing is everything in crafting a story, and his much-anticipated debut novel, AMERICAN TIGER. I am joined by my co-host Milena Gonzalez. Adam Skolnick is an author and award-winning journalist who covers travel, adventure and endurance sports, and the environment. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Outside, Wired, Lonely Planet, and Men's Health. He's the author of One Breath: Freediving, Death and the Quest to Shatter Human Limits, and the ghostwriter and audiobook narrator of the bestselling David Goggins memoirs, Can't Hurt Me and Never Finished. A frequent contributor on The Rich Roll Podcast, he lives in Southern California where he was born and raised. His debut novel, American Tiger (available for preorder now, out  December 2, 2025), “Based on true events, rooted in the stunning Southern California landscape, and populated with vivid characters, [the book] is more than a frantic tiger hunt. It's about a child's quest for self-discovery, her stoic father's struggle to come to terms with their past, and the innate wildness of every living thing.” New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert said of the author, "Adam Skolnick is a tireless investigator of the human experience, writes like a dream, and American Tiger is a gorgeous, subtly subversive yarn ringing with truth."

Barry Krutchik is an legendary Hollywood and pop culture journalist who has conducted over 2000 celebrity interviews across music, film & television over the past 40 years, capturing raw, unscripted moments — from Bob Hope to The Beastie Boys, Santana to Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld to Jay Z, Mick Jagger, Keanu Reaves, Dave Chappelle, Celine Dion ... basically, the biggest stars EVER! Whether backstage or behind the camera, Barry's authenticity & quick humor helped high-profile stars feel at home, resulting in raw, unscripted moments. Barry makes things fun! After a decade, he stopped doing interviews in 2002. “By the third time you're interviewing Peter Frampton, it might be time to try something else” he jokes, a surreal realization, considering that twelve-year-old Barry would've never believed he'd even meet Frampton. So, he launched Krutchie Entertainment and, using his vast trove of celebrity contacts, began booking talent and producing high-impact media events for the Grammys, MTV, BET, FOX, Cirque du Soleil, and more. Over the decades, as technology, public relations and the world of entertainment  changed radically, Barry's professional opportunities also changed. He was no longer a hungry young journalist but a seasoned gentleman in an industry looking for youth and diversity. Then, Covid destroyed his live events business overnight. Terrified, Barry had to reinvent himself. This journeyman is now activating his extraordinary content. He has a new book coming out, Classic Conversations: ‘90s Hip Hop and R&B featuring his intimate, one-of-a-kind moments and quotes with hip hop and R&B royalty. Each interview includes entertaining commentary that only Barry has the ability to provide. In addition, Barry recently returned to interviewing with a one-on-one sit down with Lady Gaga. And, he has new projects in the pipeline harnessing his treasure trove of celebrity content

Your brain is constantly switching between two modes of knowing: the left hemisphere's precision and prediction, and the right hemisphere's intuition and imagination. Between them lies the tender space where narrative forms — and where regulation becomes possible.In this episode, we explore how these two worlds create your ongoing “story of self,” and how that story becomes the map your nervous system uses to determine safety, danger, overwhelm, or possibility. You'll discover why old narratives feel so sticky, why neurodivergent minds process story so intensely, and how awareness creates the tiny space where freedom begins.Through vivid metaphors, grounded neuroscience, and a powerful guided practice, you'll learn to step into the witness — the part of you that can see the story without becoming it. And from that place, you can shift the state, shift the narrative, and shift your next move in the world.This is narrative neurobiology in action — and it changes everything.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
