    Nancy Lynn Griffin works with Womens Worth Wealth and Wellness

    My work centers on empowering boomer women, their daughters, and now granddaughters to take charge of their wellness and financial independence. Through curated events and educational initiatives, I show women how caring for themselves leads to confidence, fearless choices, and a spirit of sharing that lifts entire communities. I believe listeners of Inspiring Stories would connect with conversations around enhancing one’s worth personally and professionally, while fostering an attitude of inclusivity and abundance. I’d love a chance to share these ideas and personal stories with your audience, and offer practical approaches for women to strengthen their well-being, leadership, and impact.

    Learn how to create more fun in the bedroom with Dr Trina

    Hi, I’m Dr. Trina Read, a Calgary sexologist, best-selling, award-winning author, and relationship expert. For 25 years, I’ve helped married women and couples reignite passion and connection after the honeymoon phase fades. That journey inspired me to create a new literary genre called self-help-fiction — stories that both entertain and transform. My award-winning novel, The Sex Show, was the first of its kind in the world, blending engaging storytelling with practical tools for real-life intimacy. My upcoming release, The Taboo Show, continues that mission—helping women find their voice. Through my books, masterclasses, and podcast appearances, I aim to make conversations about intimacy and relationships open, empowering, and joyful. At the heart of everything I do is one goal: helping people connect more deeply—with themselves and each other.

    Talking About When Sex Meets God with Deborah Lukovich

    About Deborah Deborah Lukovich, with a MA/PhD in depth psychology, I'm an expert in understanding and decoding the mysterious language of the unconscious. Clients come to me for all sorts of reasons, but what they have in common is a desire to access a new kind of knowing. As a Depth Psychology Coach, is also an accomplished author with her latest book When Sex Meets God https://www.deborahlukovich.com/whensexmeetsgod   About When Sex Meets God One woman's story about surrendering to the unknown, risking judgment to seek a deeper truth, and discovering that when sexuality meets the sacred, a wild, creative force is unleashed.  Deborah’s life as a mother, professional, and wife felt so perfect that the twinge of discontent confused her. Ten years later, her marriage and business unraveled, and her eleven-year-old son said he didn’t want to live. Getting divorced only unleashed demons that her twenty-four-year marriage had protected her from. The younger men appeared as unexpected teachers, revitalizing her sensuality, and then a soul-stirring romance forced a reckoning deep inside her. Through the fire of erotic intensity and spiritual revelation, she shed layers of armor, embraced the sacredness of her desire, and stepped boldly into the fullness of her true self. Michael Clog’s Review I wish I had found this years ago when I was struggling to learn who I was and find reasons why i should love myself. Deborah, your story taught that many others have struggled to love themselves just for being the person they are. Thank you so much for sharing, and this is a must-read for most of humanity Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspiring-stories--2917948/support.
