    Introducing a new series | THE WOMEN BEFORE ME | Nominate a WOMAN of impact

    I’m launching a new series called The Women Before Me and I’m looking for women with a story to tell. This is a generational storytelling project designed to celebrate the powerful women who shaped us. Each episode invites a guest to bring forward a woman from their lineage biological or chosen and share who she was, what she taught, the impact she made. These are the stories often told in kitchens, car rides, and the type of stories that rarely make it onto a microphone but leave a lasting impact. This series bridges generations, honors passed down wisdom, and inspires the women to come. It’s not about Not your story…  but her story. The mother, grandmother, aunt, mentor, or soul-sister who shaped you. The woman whose courage, lessons, or love still ECHOS in your life today. If there’s a woman you wish the world knew, If there’s a story you’ve carried but never shared, I want to honor her with you. This is your invitation to be a guest on the show To highlight her name, Share her impact, And inspire the next generation of women who are still becoming. Each episode brings you one woman’s story told by the person whose life she touched. Not celebrities. Not icons. Just the real heroes: The Women To be clear you don’t have to be a woman to nominate, sons, grandsons and men are also encouraged to share about the women who shaped you, and she can still be in your life or passed on. The purpose is to highlight that ONE woman who made the greatest impact in your life. I want to know how, what did she do that stood out, that left a lasting impact. TO NOMINATE A WOMAN IN YOUR go to my instagram sveta_popov and send this DM “The Women” If you do not have instagram go to the description portion of this podcast episode and scroll to the bottom until you see.

So that the listeners can be impacted too..Whats one think she did that you thought was dumb, but now you see value as an adult..THIS IS YOUR SHOT TO SHOUT ABOUT HER FROM THE ROOFTOPS! Roday, I want to highlight THE WOMEN who made me: My mother One unusual thing my mom did which ended up saving my life on more than one occasion. This is actually a chapter I wrote for my book, that may or may not make it into the final manuscript, and my agent may or may not be upset for giving you an early preview.

    Is God Speaking While You Sleep? How to Decode the Dreams You’ve Been Ignoring | Paige Collins

    Are dreams just random thoughts or are they personal invitations from God? In this episode, visionary storyteller Paige Collins, founder of Icon Media Group and author of Awaken Dream Journal: Understanding God’s Voice in Your Dreams, explores how our nighttime visions can become a language of intimacy, direction, and creativity. Paige shares her own moment of awakening the night she heard her own voice asking for interpretation and how that question launched a season of vivid encounters and divine clarity. She explains how to set a nightly tone of peace, record what you see, and interpret your unique dream language through context and prayer. From symbols of movement and water to warnings and promises, Paige unpacks how dreams can guide our choices, fuel creativity, and reconnect us with a God who still speaks. Beyond her work as an author, Paige Collins is a seasoned media strategist, ideator, writer, and publicist with more than 20 years of experience crafting powerful messages that move hearts and minds. She has booked hundreds of television interviews, led publicity campaigns for major films, and produced red-carpet events and press conferences. As a screenwriter, producer, and founder of Honeybee Entertainment, Paige now develops faith-driven stories for film and television that uplift and inspire. If you’ve ever sensed that your dreams were trying to tell you something… maybe they are.
