This feels like a special episode because today I'm celebrating an entire year of being alcohol free. Sitting here in this same office, thinking about where I was last year, it's wild. There is no way this happened. But it did.I'm telling the whole truth. The freedom and the pain. The messy middle. The wins like running two 10Ks. Turning 40. Changing the way I parent. Growing my business. And I'm also sharing the parts that broke me wide open.I thought I'd lose people. I did. I thought I'd be boring. I'm not. I thought people would hate me. They didn't. I thought I didn't belong in those rooms, and then I realized I didn't belong in the drinking ones either.This is about more than just not drinking. It's about building a life I actually want to be present for. It's about peace. It's about feeling everything.It's about finding out who I really am without the numbing alcohol that gave me. And if I can do this and make it through this year, I promise you can do anything too.Let's crack open that Diet Coke and cheer to ONE YEAR SOBER!Check Out, Your Story is Someone's Life Raft HEREStep into Your Sober Era!

Are you looking to transform your podcast into a true marketing powerhouse for your business? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive into the world of virtual events with the incredible Steve Eriksen, founder of EventRaptor.   VIRTUAL EVENTS: YOUR SECRET PODCAST MARKETING TOOL 00:00 Engage Audience with Your Story 04:22 "Mastering Virtual Event Hosting" 08:32 Building Event Lists with Top Speakers 12:28 "Entrepreneurial Success Through Speaking" 16:44 "Set Deadlines for Accountability" 20:14 Clarity Boosts Sales: Simple Pricing 21:49 "Virtual Summits Drive Audience Engagement" 25:42 Summit Preparation: Key Considerations 30:48 Tailoring Talks for Different Audiences 33:27 Targeted Networking for Real Estate Professionals 35:53 "Service Bundles and Success Guarantees" 38:28 "Nine-Step Rapport-Building Framework" 42:09 Virtual Summits for Lead Conversion 45:46 "Weekly Coaching Invitation"   We reveal exactly how hosting and speaking at summits, masterminds, and online conferences can rapidly grow your email list, attract your ideal clients, and explode your authority in your niche. Virtual events are so much more than just another "networking" opportunity—they're a dynamic growth strategy. On this episode, you'll hear why they offer results no other channel can match.   THE COMPOUND POWER OF VIRTUAL EVENTS If you want leverage, you need to get in front of more people—faster. That's why I'm such a huge advocate of virtual events. When you speak at a summit or online masterminds, you aren't just building rapport with one person at a time. You're leveraging the audience of a host who's vouching for your expertise and putting you directly in front of people already interested in your topic. And when you host your own virtual summit, you don't just add 25 or 50 leads. You're suddenly adding hundreds or even thousands of the right people to your email list, letting you scale your business much more quickly.   AVOIDING COMMON VIRTUAL EVENT MISTAKES Steve Eriksen and I dig deep into what separates successful summits from virtual event disasters. We reveal why keeping things simple—for both your offers and your event organization—is key if you want real results. Steve shares powerful examples of mistakes to avoid, like confusing multi-tiered VIP offers that leave attendees unsure and uncommitted. Instead, you'll learn why clarity and a focused value proposition always win, and how offering a single irresistible option can drive thousands in summit revenue.   FIVE KEY ELEMENTS TO BE SUMMIT-READY You might be wondering: What do you really need to show up and win at a virtual event? Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor - the BEST solution for making Virtual Event Management easy! In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. Steve now helps entrepreneurs with their event tech with EventRaptor. Steve breaks down the five-step system every podcasting entrepreneur should have in place. These include a strong lead magnet, a signature talk that plants your expertise in people's minds, a reliable follow-up sequence, an irresistible offer, and a simple sales conversion system. Whether you're hosting or guest-speaking, having this foundation will not only grow your email list but also turn new listeners into long-term clients.   BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST Podcasting and virtual events are about more than downloads and email addresses. They're about building meaningful relationships with your audience and fellow experts. Throughout this episode, I share how consistently showing up (even as a last-minute speaker) builds goodwill in the virtual event space, leading to more invitations, stronger JV partnerships, and more sales. If you're ready to establish trust, deepen engagement, and finally build a platform that delivers impact, this episode will give you the exact blueprint to make that happen. Don't forget to grab Steve's incredible “Get Summit Ready” checklist at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/summitready, and start leveraging the transformational power of virtual events today!   If you would like my help to walk you every step of the way, go to https://podcasttalentcoach.com/strategy-call/.

“Transformation is not automatic, it must be learned, it must be led”My guest today, Deekron Krikorian is a highly sought-after High-Performance Coach, but his life prior to this was filled with numerous and challenging transitions.He was laid off from a 6-figure job, went through a painful divorce, transitioned from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world, experienced near bankruptcy of his startup, and personally passed through a very dark period where he felt anxious, directionless, and unfulfilled.“While the transitions were emotionally and financially challenging, they taught me to dig deep and stay true to myself, vs. running back to safety. They pushed me to seek (and find) answers and learn more about who I am, what I value, and overcome internal fears and outside voices that were trying to tell me otherwise.”  Deekron KrikorianAs a High-Performance Coach, Deekron now empowers entrepreneurs and high achievers to reclaim their confidence, energy, and consistency, so they can become unstoppable in work and life.His book, The Nine Shifts, is the book that will inspire you to change and show you how to get there.   CONNECT WITH DEEKRON:http://healthyperformer.com/ CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense it's time for a change but unsure where to start or how to move forward?  Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.comCheck out my online course!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Your Story's Changing, finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD

This episode is an open letter. I'm blessed to speak at events and this pod throughout the year and share a semester with brilliant students as an adjunct.Bottom line: I want my students — and our listeners — to win.During the final class each semester, I share the lessons learned, the wins, the losses, and the real moments that built me and similarly successful friends and colleagues. This version is a deeper dive — a good listen for our amazing Whiskey Hue family as well.The truth is, I've taken some “L's” in life. But I kept moving forward — and was fortunate to win a few more times than I lost. If any part of that journey can help any of you in this ecosystem win faster, smarter, and more efficiently, then it's my responsibility to share it.A blueprint to dream bigger, bounce back faster, and live fully. If an idea sparks a fire in you, or a story saves you time or heartache — that's the win.00:00 Intro: “Win More Than You Lose.

Here was an unexpected statement. She does not actually enjoy writing. Apparently it started early when Mary Ann had a tough time in school particularly with spelling. She didn't think she was qualified. Her self-talk wasn't positive. Years later she knew she had to let it go because there was work to be done and it involved writing. Mary Ann Mariani took her years of experience being a presentation coach and went where she knew God was leading her: helping people share their faith. As she explains, everyone has a story and there is somebody that needs to hear yours. This led her to write Your Story for God's Glory. Mary Ann is our guest this week for Thinking through My Fingers: a Writers Series.You can find Mary Ann at Kingdom Presenters.Thanks for being part of the UY conversation.The Unabashed You website has a page for each guest of photos, quotes and a blog with embedded audio at unabashedyou.com.

Together, they explore the profound journey of making sense of the stories that shape our lives, diving into how our earliest experiences continue to form our hearts, minds, and relationships well into adulthood.From raw personal anecdotes to reflections on faith and neuroscience, Adam and Michael unpack why true healing requires curiosity, kindness, and courage to examine the ground-level scenes that haunt or shape us. They tackle the exhaustion that comes from running from our pain, the importance of kindness toward our past selves, and how our earliest attachments impact not only our relationships with others but our connection to God.This episode is an honest and vulnerable exploration of pain, redemption, and beauty in embracing our full stories.

Healing Sexual Sin & Shame through the Cross (and Curiosity): Interview with Jay Stringer There is something so incredible about a story of redemption. And, dear reader, I believe this conversation will be a turning point for you, as it has been for so many in our community. I've walked alongside men and women wrestling with the deep pain of sexual brokenness- the battles they face in their marriage beds, their thought lives, their past, and the weight of shame. I've seen firsthand the power of God to restore what seemed utterly lost. And this conversation with Jay Stringer is an invitation to that very healing journey. Jay is a therapist, minister, researcher, and author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. His compassionate, curious approach offers a fresh lens: that the very behaviors we hate are not random. They are clues. And they point us to healing. On this Good Friday, as we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, there is no better time to consider what it truly means to lay our shame at the foot of the cross. Let's dive in. The Cross and Your Story of Healing We all carry wounds. Some we're acutely aware of, and others we've buried so deeply that they show up in our actions long before we recognize them in our hearts. Jay opened our conversation by pointing us to the profound truth of the cross. Jesus knew exactly what you would do. Every mistake. Every moment of shame. And yet, He chose to take it all upon Himself. He bore your sin and your shame. This is not a journey of trying harder to be good enough. It's about understanding how deeply Jesus loves you, even in your lowest moments, and choosing to respond to His love with a courageous step toward healing. Unwanted Behaviors: They Are Not Random One of the most freeing truths Jay shared is this: our unwanted behaviors are not random. Through his extensive clinical work and groundbreaking research, Jay discovered that the specific ways we struggle are deeply connected to our stories of origin. Jay explained that in his role as the sex addiction therapist for the city of Seattle, he began to see patterns. Men arrested for soliciting sex were not making random choices. Their actions were connected to predictable stories of pain and trauma. Whether you grew up in a home of neglect, where your heart longed for connection and was left empty, or in a home of rigid control, where you felt powerless and unseen, these early experiences shape the way you cope and the behaviors you pursue as an adult. Your brain, your body, your desires are all responding to unhealed wounds. Understanding the Root: Family Systems and the Power of Priming Jay described two primary family systems that often set the stage for future struggles: The Disengaged Family System: Parents were physically or emotionally absent. Your longing for connection was never fulfilled. When you first experienced the neurochemical bond of pornography or sex, it felt like the deepest connection you had ever known. The Rigid, Authoritarian Family System: Parents were hyper-controlling, using performance or religion to shape you. You felt powerless and suffocated. Pornography, in contrast, offered a false sense of control and power over your environment. Both systems prime you for certain temptations. And recognizing this isn't about blaming parents or excusing behaviors. It's about gaining understanding. Because understanding is what allows us to grieve. And grieving opens the door to healing. As Jay says, “You can't just try to stop an unhealthy behavior. You have to understand why you were drawn to that behavior in the first place.” Shame Keeps You Stuck. Curiosity Sets You Free. As Christians, we know the seriousness of sin. But too often, we try to hate our way to holiness. We believe that if we punish ourselves enough, we'll finally change. But, the Apostle Paul tells us that it is God's kindness that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Not our contempt. Not our loathing. Not our self-hatred. Jay encouraged us to replace self-contempt with curiosity. Ask yourself: Why am I drawn to this behavior? What is the pain underneath my actions? What does this reveal about my longing to be seen, known, and loved? When we approach our story with curiosity, we give God space to reveal the roots of our pain. The Shark of Shame: Swim Toward It Jay also shared a fascinating metaphor that I just love: Professional shark diver Andy Casagrande was once asked what to do if a great white shark is swimming toward you. His answer? Swim toward it. If you swim away, you act like prey. But if you move toward the shark, it confuses the predator, and it backs away. Shame operates the same way. When we run from it, it devours us. But when we confront it — facing it head on, sharing vulnerably in trusted community, seeking counseling, and naming our wounds — we rob shame of its power. Swim toward the shark of shame. Face it. Name it. And watch as it loses its grip on your life. Jesus Took Your Shame to the Cross This is where our faith becomes not just helpful, but essential. The world offers coping strategies, but Jesus offers complete redemption. He didn't just take your sin to the cross; He took your shame. Through His death and resurrection, we are invited into freedom. If you've ever felt like your past disqualifies you from God's love, let me remind you: Jesus knew your struggles when He went to the cross. He went anyway. He has already made a way for you to live in righteousness, peace, and freedom. This is the hope of Easter. The hope of the Gospel. From Crisis to Calling: Your Story Matters So often, the crises of our lives — the shame, the addictions, the brokenness — are actually invitations to transformation. Jay shared that in the absence of elders to guide us through rites of passage, our souls will create crises that force us to confront our identity and our wounds. Rather than run from the crisis, we can see it as a holy opportunity. Your struggle is not the end of your story. It's the beginning of a new chapter. When you engage your story with honesty and curiosity, you step into the redemption God has for you. You become part of His story of restoration — not just for you, but for others. Final Encouragement: There Is Hope for You Dear friend, this journey is not about perfection. It's about progress. It's about engaging your story with curiosity, leaning into the kindness of God, and walking the path of healing, step by step. Jesus took your sin. He took your shame. And He rose again to give you new life. This Easter, may you embrace the truth that resurrection is possible for you, too. You are deeply loved. You are seen. You are not alone. Happy Easter.   With love,   Belah & Team   PS - Check out Jay's book here: Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing PPS - If you want to take the first step into freedom and healing your marriage, schedule a free Clarity Call with us at delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: “My husband and I lived parallel lives almost our entire marriage…The only thing he wanted from me in the relationship was sex. That was the last thing I wanted to give him because I was exhausted from trying to be the super mom and head of the household. This caused a rift in our relationship…After a separation in our own home we each began our own counseling…Both of our counselors questioned if a form of sex addiction might be part of the problem. I dove into trying to learn everything I could about sex addiction. I joined a 12 step group for spouses of sex addicts. That program is about avoiding unhealthy sexual behaviors. I didn't even know what healthy sexual behaviors were. After 4 years of marriage counseling and feeling stuck in a marriage that was barely hanging on, I discovered your program. I found hope for my marriage and began to see my husband in a different light”

In this conversation, Heather emphasizes the importance of sharing personal testimonies as a means of spiritual empowerment and transformation. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own stories, identify breakthrough moments, and articulate their messages to reach those still struggling. By focusing on the transformation rather than the trauma, individuals can find their voice and help others find liberation through their experiences. Takeaways Your story is a weapon against spiritual forces. Focus on the transformation in your testimony. Identify your chain-breaking moment. Write a letter to your listener in need. Declare life over those who are struggling. Your voice is meant for liberation, not validation. Get clear on your message to gain confidence. Create a tagline that resonates with your audience. The enemy wants to keep you silent. Implementing these exercises emboldens your voice.

Monique Rodriguez's journey is one of resilience, purpose, and bold reinvention. She dedicated nearly a decade to healthcare as a registered nurse, but the loss of her son in 2013 shifted everything. In the wake of that tragedy, Monique found clarity—and the courage to follow a lifelong passion for beauty. With no formal business background, she launched Mielle Organics from her kitchen and built it into one of the fastest-growing textured haircare brands in the country.Now, Mielle Organics is not only a staple in major retailers like Target, Walmart, and CVS, but also a study in authentic brand-building. Her approach is rooted in community, education, and transparency. As the CEO, she's built trust by simply being herself—from going live every day during the pandemic to letting customers weigh in on packaging decisions. She's also navigated the complex world of retail expansion by knowing when to say no and when to scale up.In 2021, Mielle took on private equity for the first time. Just 18 months later, she and her COO, who happens to be her husband, Melvon, sold the company to P&G — but not before making sure the deal would preserve the integrity of the brand. Monique still runs the company today, and she's focused on building a legacy, not just a business. Monique recently added “author” to her list of titles with a book that helps people find purpose in their own stories. She lives in Chicago with her family, where she balances leading a global brand with slow mornings, warm lemon water, and staying grounded in faith.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction [07:52] Starting a business without experience or connections[08:34] Learning the business side and asking for help[09:20] The challenge of raising capital as a Black female founder[10:10] Bootstrapping Mielle before taking on funding[10:59] Why Monique turned down Walmart the first time[12:30] Building long-term sustainability, not short-term hype[13:00] How Mielle went viral with rosemary mint oil[13:44] Creating viral moments through authenticity[14:22] Building trust through storytelling and transparency[15:05] Turning customers into community[15:42] How Monique stayed present online without burning out[16:19] The power of community to support during backlash[18:52] The emotional link between beauty and customer loyalty[19:30] Building real connections at trade shows[20:02] Standing out in a crowded beauty industry[20:50] How community building helped attract investors[21:32] Education as a brand differentiator[22:10] Creating emotional experiences around products[23:02] Going big at trade shows to make a lasting impression[23:55] Using experience to fuel word-of-mouth marketing[25:10] Sharing behind-the-scenes with her community[27:20] Handling criticism and negativity online[28:13] Protecting mental health while being a public founder[31:12] The reality of criticism for successful female founders[31:58] Taking on private equity from Berkshire Partners[32:44] Why Monique wanted to maintain majority ownership[33:40] Finding the right kind of investor partnership[34:21] What to look for in a private equity deal[35:04] Planning for an eventual acquisition[35:40] How fast the P&G acquisition came together[37:06] Choosing the right partner over the highest bidder[39:30] Benefits of selling to a strategic like P&G[40:18] Brand globalization and new opportunities[40:50] Access to better ingredients and scientific resources[43:48] Balancing business and marriage[46:00] Monique's slow morning routine[49:18] Key lessons around mindset, faith, and perseveranceResources Mentioned:The Glory in Your Story by Monique Rodriguez | Book or AudiobookMielle Organics | WebsiteP&G | WebsiteBerkshire Partners | WebsiteFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com
