    The Next Level of Success Requires a New Way of Thinking with Sandra Yancey

    What if confidence is not something you wait for, but something you build through courage? In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom sits down with Sandra Yancey, founder of eWomenNetwork, for a powerful conversation about courage, women in business, entrepreneurship, leadership, scaling, and building the room you could not find. Sandra shares how she moved to Dallas with experience, credibility, and ambition, only to realize that the business rooms around her were not truly designed to position women at the level she was building. When she could not find the room she needed, she built it. Together, Patrina and Sandra explore the courage behind creating eWomenNetwork, the importance of investing in mentors and coaches, and why Sandra sees coaching as “writing a check for speed.” They also talk about scaling, family business, hard decisions, impact-driven revenue, and the leadership shift required when the old way of building no longer fits the next level. One of Sandra’s most powerful reminders in this episode is simple: Confidence is a consequence of courage. This conversation is for the woman who has been waiting to feel ready, the founder who knows she cannot keep being the bottleneck, and the leader who is being called to build, scale, and make decisions from courage instead of fear. Listen now if you are ready to stop waiting for confidence and start leading with courage.

    Being Chosen Is Not the Same as Belonging | Melissa Mueller Douglas

    What if being chosen is not the same as truly belonging? In this episode of Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom sits down with Melissa Mueller Douglas — licensed master social worker, founder of Chocolate Mindfulness, and founder of My Retreat — for a deeply personal conversation about identity, mindfulness, faith, wholeness, and the courage it takes to stop splitting yourself in order to be accepted. Melissa shares a powerful story from her first day at a new high school, when she was asked to choose which lunch table she belonged to. As a mixed-race girl trying to find her place, that moment became more than a question about where to sit. It became a question about identity, belonging, and whether acceptance would require her to leave part of herself behind. Together, Patrina and Melissa explore what it means to be chosen but not fully seen, why high-achieving women often carry too many versions of themselves, and how returning to presence can begin with something as simple as a pause, a breath, or a small piece of chocolate. Melissa also shares the heart behind Chocolate Mindfulness, how choosing Islam and wearing the hijab helps her stay connected to her values, and why being unbothered is not coldness — it is groundedness. This episode is for the woman who is tired of editing herself to fit the room. Because your wholeness should never be the price of belonging. Listen now and share this episode with a woman who is ready to come back to herself.

    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.
