    She Forgot 6 Minutes of Her TED Talk — And Found Her Real Voice with Samantha Kris

    Samantha Kris forgot six minutes of her TED Talk. Not in rehearsal. On the actual stage. In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom sits down with Samantha Kris — founder of STRIDE, executive speaker coach, author, and a woman who turned one deeply human moment into a powerful message about voice, truth, storytelling, leadership, and impact. Samantha shares what happened when the polished version of her TED Talk disappeared, why the part she forgot was the part filled with studies and language meant to make her sound credible, and how that experience helped her begin dismantling the version of herself she thought she had to perform. This conversation is for high-achieving women, founders, executives, speakers, coaches, creatives, women entrepreneurs, and leaders who are tired of proving their worth and ready to embody their real voice. Patrina and Samantha talk about proving versus embodying, rebuilding trust with your intuition, divorce as a doorway into honesty, play as a path back to self, and the powerful shift Samantha made from chasing a million-dollar goal to focusing on impacting one million people. If the version of your life that looks polished no longer feels fully true, this episode is your invitation to listen deeper. Your next chapter may not require you to become more polished. It may require you to become more honest. Because your story is your glory. Listen now to this powerful conversation with Samantha Kris on Living Room Wisdom.

    Why do smart, high-achieving women ignore their own truth — even when their body, business, and inner knowing are already giving them signs? In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom sits down with Alison Katskowski — entrepreneur, innovator, former competitive swimmer, bodybuilder, and business strategist — for a conversation about reinvention, self-trust, burnout, business evolution, and aligned pivots.

This episode is for women entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, leaders, and high-achieving women who have built something meaningful — but know deep down that it may be time to redesign the way they work, lead, live, or serve. You’ll hear why reinvention does not always mean starting over, how to recognize the signs before burnout, and why self-care is not a reward — it is infrastructure. Because sometimes your next chapter does not require burning everything down. Sometimes it requires telling yourself the truth. Hosted by Patrina Wisdom, Living Room Wisdom is where powerful women share the stories, lessons, and wisdom that shape who they become.
