    Abstract Essay in its sixth season, features Brylye Collins Helping singles thrive in self-love and find love intentionally. as my guest.

    Brylye Collins Helping singles thrive in self-love and find love intentionally. I’m Brylye Collins—Certified Relationship Coach and founder of Building with Bry (Thriving Solo + Intentional Connections). I built this work because I kept hearing the same thing from smart, successful people: “I’m not even excited to date anymore.” Not because they don’t want love, but because modern dating has become exhausting, confusing, and often disconnected from real values. My perspective is simple: the quality of your relationships is directly tied to the quality of your relationship with yourself. Before you can connect deeply with someone else, you have to reconnect with you—your needs, your standards, your boundaries, your patterns, and the parts of you that learned to chase, settle, over-give, or tolerate uncertainty. That’s what Thriving Solo is about: helping people rebuild self-trust and emotional readiness so dating stops feeling like a performance and starts feeling like alignment. I work with clients across the U.S. who are ready for a healthier, more intentional approach to love. In coaching, we focus on confidence, clarity, healing old cycles, communication, and boundaries—so clients can stop repeating the same dynamics with different people. And for those who are ready to date with real intention, I offer Intentional Connections, a boutique matchmaking experience designed for people who want a relationship that leads somewhere and are done with the chaos of app culture. Podcast audiences gain practical tools and honest truth-telling. I’m not here to sell fantasy or “perfect partner” narratives. I help listeners understand why they keep choosing the same type of person, how to spot emotional unavailability early, what secure dating actually looks like, and how to build standards without building walls. I also bring a grounded, modern take on matchmaking—what works, what doesn’t, and how to date with strategy while staying true to yourself. If your show serves women or men who are high-functioning but tired of dating, healing after heartbreak, rebuilding confidence, or ready to call in a healthier relationship, I can give your audience both mindset shifts and actionable steps they can use immediately. A conversation with me helps people stop chasing love and start creating it—consciously, confidently, and intentionally.

    Erica Elliott Erica M. Elliott, MD I am a medical doctor in Santa Fe, New Mexico with patients from across the US. I have lived in many different countries while growing up. My adult life began as a school teacher on the Navajo Reservation in the early 1970s, then Peace Corps volunteer in South America working as a bilingual educator, high-altitude mountain climber in the Andes, Outward Bound Instructor in the Colorado Rockies, and then medical doctor in New Mexico. I helped found a co-housing community in Santa Fe called The Commons, where I raised my son, described in a TED talk I gave in 2015. My life has been a mythic journey of wonderment and life-changing experiences including some major health disasters—which ultimately led me to finding my life purpose of service to those who are suffering. In addition to being a medical doctor, I'm also an author. My first memoir, "Medicine and Miracles in the High Desert: My Life Among the Navajo People," has received enthusiastic reviews. When I learned to speak Navajo while teaching at a boarding school in canyon country, the people welcomed me into their remote homes and their sacred ceremonies, and taught me about their culture. My second memoir, "From Mountains to Medicine: Scaling the Heights in Search of My Calling" is my quest for finding my purpose in life. One reader wrote: In this memoir, Dr. Erica Elliott not only shares pivotal events that have shaped her extraordinary life, but through them, she also shares the essence of what it means to be human. She reminds us that challenges, confusion, and physical and emotional pain are inseparable from life, but so is delight. She shows us that we can discover unknown strength, if we choose to test it. She chose repeatedly to do so, and each time she emerged stronger and added a piece to the mosaic that is her unusual, spellbinding life.

    Aaron Ryan Highly enthusiastic, prolific, bestselling & award-winning author/speaker with a ton of heart, whose stories blend the best of science fiction with the best of humanity through 41 books and counting. I’m a bestselling and award-winning author as well as a longtime speaker and panelist who would be delighted to appear in more interviews. I’m regularly interviewed and show up well. I’ve written and published 41 books. One of them has been adapted for the screen and is currently being pitched to major streaming networks - I'm tremendously excited! I had two others adapted as well, and they have won entrance into multiple film festivals, garnering several awards thus far. I just released a YA dystopian dark fantasy / paranormal thriller, the middle chapter in a new sci-fi reluctant hero vigilante series, and a nonfiction book on being a daddy. I'm also a voiceover artist and narrate my own audiobooks, but AI (and other factors) is eroding my voiceover career, so I have adapting and am overcoming adversity by returning to authoring. All of my life I've been a storyteller, and I love to tell stories! Both of my careers fit me like a glove, and I love talking about both, but in particular, authoring, as well as self-publishing, creative ways to market, the threats of AI to creatives, and more.

    Nick Montalbine Founder & CEO at Inner Voice Analytics Nick Montalbine is founder of Inner Voice Analytics, the consultancy leaders call when something feels off, but the data says everything’s fine. His team helps organizations catch the truth beneath the surface, using continuous listening and behavioral analytics to spot cultural cracks before they spread. Through his work, Nick helps leaders tune in to what’s really happening beneath the surface, catching disengagement early, and shifting culture before it breaks. His method combines behavioral science and AI-driven listening to build workplaces where people feel seen, heard, and energized to stay. His work doesn’t just reduce attrition, it increases the odds of successful change. He’s spent over 20 years driving transformation inside Fortune 100s, deploying strategy, scaling culture, and leading ops across Nike, healthcare, finance, and retail. (Yes, he’s a Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma. Yes, that’s a real thing.) At Nike, he led HR strategy for global retail and digital teams, supporting 70,000+ employees. At Legacy Health, he leveraged continuous employee listening to guide large-scale organizational change, surfacing hidden risks early and boosting adoption across two major hospital systems. In one effort, his work engaged over 300 clinicians and uncovered cultural cracks that traditional approaches were missing entirely. Nick’s the person leaders call when performance is dipping, trust is fraying, or culture’s quietly cracking beneath the surface. Whether it’s early warning signs or full-blown cultural combustion, he helps leaders steady the ship and rebuild what matters.
