    Who Do You Need to Become? Building Your Next Chapter with Camille Miller

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when the business you've built no longer reflects who you're becoming? In this episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie talks with Camille Miller, founder of the Soul Professional Movement, about trusting your intuition, evolving your business, and having the courage to change something that's working when you know it's no longer right. Camille shares how a career in nonprofit leadership led her to recognize a community of professionals who were successful on the outside but weren't fully expressing their spiritual, holistic, or intuitive sides. That realization eventually became a global movement now reaching six continents and 51 countries. They also explore community versus celebrity culture, the growing importance of trust and relationships in business, and a powerful question for every entrepreneur entering a new level: Who do you need to become to lead what's next? What You'll Learn How Camille turned one networking experience into a global communityWhy she moved her organization Online before the world required itHow to recognize when your business is drifting away from its original missionWhy Camille eliminated a successful paid membership modelThe difference between building around a founder and building a community that can thrive without herWhy trust, relationships, and strong ecosystems matter more than everHow your identity can create—or limit—your next level of business growthActionable Tips Listen for mission creep. A successful offer or business model isn't necessarily the right one forever. Ask whether what you're doing today still serves the mission you originally set out to fulfill. Build something bigger than yourself. If community is the goal, look for ways to develop leaders, invite participation, and create something that doesn't require you to be at the center of everything. Look at who you need to become. When the strategy is sound but you're still hitting a ceiling, the next shift may be in your identity, beliefs, or willingness to play bigger. Memorable Quote “I can only see so many feet in front of me, and I don't know what's ahead. But I trust that the road is still there.” — Camille MillerBOLD Moment of the Episode Camille's BOLD decision was walking away from a business model that was working financially—but no longer felt aligned with her mission. By 2024, Soul Professional had become a successful paid membership organization with high-end masterminds, but Camille realized the organization had become too centered around her. So she took down the paywall, stepped away from being the person who taught everything, and cut off a significant source of revenue. The result? 2024 was her best business year, and 2025 became her worst. Still, Camille trusted that the next path would reveal itself. Today, Soul Professional is evolving toward a community-supported model with new leadership, ambassadors, sponsors, partnerships, and both Online and in-person connection. About Camille Miller Camille Miller is a transformational leader and Strategic Business Designer for Soul-Led Visionaries. She mentors midlife entrepreneurs to transform their wisdom and decades of experience into scalable, purpose-driven businesses that create impact and financial freedom without compromising their values. She is the founder of the Natural Life Business Partnership, a Soul Inspired Business School, a global Online Learning Academy, and the Soul Professional Movement.

    Beyond the Book: Turn Your Message Into a Platform with Keren Kilgore

    Send us Fan Mail Writing the book is only the beginning. In this episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie talks with publishing and marketing expert Keren Kilgore of Quantum Shift Media about how authors can think much bigger about what happens before, during, and AFTER they publish. Keren sees three distinct phases in a book's life: writing, publishing, and marketing. Her goal is to connect those pieces so a book doesn't simply sit on a shelf—it becomes a platform that builds relationships, credibility, visibility, and opportunity. Tracie and Keren talk about writing from the reader's perspective, creating a “book ecosystem,” building opportunities for readers to experience more of you, and why a book launch should be much more than one big day. And if you already have a book that's been sitting on the shelf? Keren has a message for you, too: Your book isn't done yet. What You'll Learn The three phases of a book: writing, publishing, and marketingHow to think about your reader's experience from the beginningWhy storytelling matters in nonfictionHow to create an ecosystem around your bookWhy your launch should be a strategic campaign, not a one-day eventHow an older book can be relaunched for a new audienceHow a book can become a long-term business and visibility assetActionable Tips Think about the reader before you write. Don't assume your audience already understands what has become second nature to you. Create a book ecosystem. Consider how readers can experience and connect with you throughout the book, rather than waiting until the final page. Don't treat launch day as the finish line. A launch is a strategic campaign, and your book can continue creating opportunities long after publication. Give an older book another life. Keren recommends considering a relaunch every 18 months to two years as your audience grows and changes. Memorable Quote “Your book has a huge lifespan.” — Keren KilgoreBOLD Moment of the Episode Keren's BOLD decision started with changing the name of her company. She realized she'd outgrown Lightning Tree Creative Media and renamed the business Quantum Shift Media because she saw herself creating quantum shifts for her clients. Something unexpected happened: she had to grow into the name. Her vision became bigger, new ideas and people appeared, and the business expanded. Sometimes naming where you're going gives you permission to grow into what's next. About Keren Kilgore At Quantum Shift Media, Keren Kilgore helps authors, coaches, speakers, and business owners write, publish, and market fiction and nonfiction books that align with their deepest truth and professional purpose—transforming them into powerful business assets that grow visibility, impact, and income. With over 25 years of experience in publishing, she guides clients through every phase of the process—from crafting a compelling manuscript to book design and a strategic launch that attracts clients, speaking engagements, and media attention. Her services include book coaching, professional book design, publishing, author branding, marketing campaigns, and her signature 90-Day Book Launch Blueprint.

The Teen Identity Project — A collaborative publishing opportunity Keren is creating for teen authors. One Final BOLD Reminder If you've already published a book, don't give up on it. And if there's a book that's been asking you to write it, don't give up on that either. Your book can have a much longer life than launch day.

    From Surviving to Thriving: Own Your Power and Build a Business That Works with Sabrina Victoria

    Send us Fan Mail From Surviving to Thriving: Own Your Power and Build a Business That Works with Sabrina VictoriaEpisode Summary What happens when you stop waiting for your circumstances to change and start creating a way forward? In this episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie talks with Sabrina Victoria, founder of Her Nation Global, about resilience, financial independence, sales, community, and learning to trust yourself enough to take the next step. Sabrina shares her journey from single motherhood and a 13-year controlling relationship to building multiple businesses, creating financial independence, and eventually launching a global ecosystem for women entrepreneurs. Her story isn't about one giant leap. It's about making decisions, learning as you go, understanding your numbers, and continuing to move forward—even when the entire path isn't clear. What You'll Learn How Sabrina began building businesses as a path toward financial independenceWhy understanding your numbers gives you more choicesHow sales can feel genuine instead of pushyThe difference between being an “ostrich” and a “champion” with your financesWhy community has been essential to Sabrina's business growthHow to keep moving when you don't know exactly what comes nextActionable Tips Know your numbers. Sabrina encourages women to stop avoiding their finances. Knowing what's coming in, what's going out, and what you need gives you information you can use to make stronger decisions. Don't make sales creepy. Selling doesn't require becoming someone you don't want to be. As Sabrina says, “If you don't wanna be a creepy salesman, then don't be creepy.” Take the next best step. You don't need to solve everything today. Identify the next decision or action that moves you toward greater freedom, stability, or opportunity. Memorable Quote “Take the next best step.” — Sabrina VictoriaSometimes that's all you need to know to keep moving forward. BOLD Moment of the Episode While in a controlling relationship, Sabrina began quietly creating a different future for herself. She opened a separate bank account, built four Online businesses, and saved approximately $50,000. Eventually, she left the relationship. Her path wasn't perfectly linear. Sabrina later made the strategic decision to return to a shared company under newly negotiated terms for two years, using that time to strengthen her financial position before separating completely. It was a BOLD example of looking at the circumstances in front of her and asking: What decision gives me more power over what happens next? About Sabrina Victoria Sabrina Victoria is the powerhouse behind Her Nation Global, a business ecosystem for women entrepreneurs ready to be seen, heard, and paid. After overcoming single motherhood and a 13-year narcissistic relationship, Sabrina turned her experiences into a mission to help women own their stories, their power, and their ability to create financial independence. Her Nation Global includes The Her Talk Show, Her Nation Magazine, and House of Velani, with masterminds, sales workshops, networking, and resources designed to help women build respected brands and businesses. Sabrina is certified in NLP and life coaching and brings decades of sales and entrepreneurial experience to her work with women leaders.

    Rise Above the Noise: Build an Unmistakable Brand with Taylor Boone

    Send us Fan Mail Rise Above the Noise: Build an Unmistakable Brand with Taylor BooneYour brand doesn't need more noise. It needs more clarity. In this episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie sits down with Brand Strategy Advisor and The Brand Alchemist™ Taylor Boone to talk about what really makes a brand stand out—and why beautiful visuals, more content, and even the latest AI tools can't fix a confusing message. After 25 years as a commercial photographer, director, and producer, Taylor made the bold decision to step out from behind the camera and focus on what she'd been seeing all along: the strongest visuals in the world can't save a weak or confusing brand. Taylor and Tracie dig into finding the who behind your ideal client, creating a magnetic message, using storytelling to build trust, and navigating AI without allowing it to strip the humanity out of your brand. Because in an increasingly noisy world, Taylor believes the brands that win won't necessarily be the loudest. They'll be the clearest—and the most human. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why great photography, design, and marketing can't fix an unclear brandHow to go beyond demographics to identify the person you truly serveWhy a clear message creates a stronger “signal” for your ideal clientsHow storytelling helps build connection and trustWhy AI should support your brand voice rather than replace itHow to give AI the human context it needs to create better contentWhy being perfectly polished can actually hurt your credibilityHow clarity can help you confidently charge for the value you provideActionable Tips from This Episode Go deeper than demographics. “Women over 40” is a category, not a who. Keep asking what your ideal person is experiencing until you reach the specific problem you can speak directly to.Get clear before investing in aesthetics. Your logo, photos, videos, website, and colors should amplify an already-clear brand—not try to create clarity for you.Train your AI on YOU. Give it your point of view, audience, voice, tone, story, and the feeling you want your brand to create before asking it to generate content.Use AI as a tool, not the solution. Let it help you organize, brainstorm, and work more efficiently without handing over the human connection that makes your brand yours.Choose clarity over cleverness. You don't have to follow every trend or create more content. Know who you're talking to, what they need, and why your work matters.Memorable Quote “There's not a video or a photo that can save confusion.” — Taylor BooneAnd one more worth remembering: “AI is not the threat. Weak branding is.” — Taylor BooneBOLD Moment of the Episode Taylor had spent decades behind the camera when a former photography client came back wanting to hire her again. This time, Taylor said no. She told the client that photos and videos weren't going to solve the real problem. Instead, she offered to work with her as a brand advisor to fix the messaging, positioning, and overall brand first. The client immediately said yes. That bold decision became part of Taylor's leap from a 25-year career behind the camera into the work she'd realized she was meant to do—helping business owners find the clarity and message that makes their work visible. About Taylor Boone Taylor Boone is a Brand Strategy Advisor, author, and the voice behind The Brand Alchemist™. After 25 years of building her own company through visual storytelling, Taylor now guides entrepreneurs, experts, and purpose-driven leaders to clarify their message, strengthen their signal, and build brands with weight, trust, and authority. Her work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, intuition, psychology, storytelling, aesthetic intelligence, and AI. She is known for cutting through brand confusion and finding the message that moves people. Taylor's approach is rooted in one core belief: a weak message makes powerful work invisible. In a noisy market, more content is not the answer. Clearer positioning is. Stronger language is. A brand voice people can feel, trust, and buy from is. Through The Brand Alchemist™, Taylor teaches entrepreneurs how to define who they serve, sharpen what they say, and build brands that rise above the noise. Her work is especially focused on the new era of AI, where unclear brands will only become louder, faster, and easier to ignore. Taylor believes clarity is currency. Her mission is to guide thousands of entrepreneurs to own their voice, build unmistakable brands, create meaningful wealth, and use their work to make a deeper impact in the world.

    Build a Business That Honors Your Values: Creating Human-First Success with Becky Mollenkamp

    Send us Fan Mail Build a Business That Honors Your Values: Creating Human-First Success with Becky Mollenkamp What if the traditional rules of business aren't rules you have to follow? In this episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie sits down with feminist business coach Becky Mollenkamp for a thoughtful conversation about questioning the expectations we've inherited—in life and in business—and intentionally choosing something different. Becky shares how the death of her brother became a catalyst for examining a life that looked successful on paper but didn't feel fulfilling. That process eventually led her to question not only her own choices, but also the traditional business practices that reward urgency, scarcity, hierarchy, and growth at all costs. Tracie and Becky also explore what it means to build a human-first business, the difference between equality and equity, and why entrepreneurs need to continually reassess their messaging, offers, and assumptions so they're serving the people in front of them—not the customer who existed three years ago. It's a conversation about values, awareness, adaptability, and creating businesses that offer both hope and possibility. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to recognize when you're following someone else's definition of successWhat it means to bring a feminist, human-first approach to businessWhy equity and equality aren't the same thingHow privilege and lived experience can affect the way we lead and serveWhy your offers, pricing, and messaging need to evolve with your customersHow listening—not assuming—can help you better understand what your clients need right nowActionable Tips from This Episode Audit your messaging. Look at what you're currently sharing and ask whether it speaks to what your clients are actually experiencing today.Listen before you solve. Invite clients or potential clients into a conversation and ask what's keeping them up at night, what they're worried about, and what they're talking about with friends.Reassess your offers. Instead of automatically discounting, consider whether different formats, shorter commitments, or new containers might better meet people where they are.Review before you publish. If you created content months ago, take another look before it goes live to make sure it still fits the current moment.Memorable Quote “How does my offer offer hope and promise or change that speaks to what's happening right now in the world?” — Becky MollenkampBOLD Moment of the Episode After her brother died of a heroin overdose in 2010, Becky began questioning the life she'd built—the career, marriage, home, money, and accomplishments that looked great from the outside but didn't make her happy. She began asking herself a powerful question: Am I choosing this because I truly want it, or because I've been taught it's what I'm supposed to do? That willingness to question the “good girl” rules she'd followed became the beginning of a much larger transformation in both her life and her work. About Becky Mollenkamp Becky Mollenkamp is a feminist business coach for service-based entrepreneurs who want to build human-first businesses that honor collective flourishing over profit-at-all-costs growth. After spending nearly 20 years in journalism and content marketing for corporate clients, Becky realized that traditional business advice often rewards urgency, scarcity, and hierarchy. She now helps founders unlearn the white-supremacist, capitalist patriarchal rules they were handed, so they can build work that doesn't require self-abandonment. She is the founder of the Feminist Podcasters Collective, and co-founder of Feminist Founders and the Messy Liberation Coaches Circle. Her new book, Liberate Your Business (April 2026), offers a roadmap for moving from extractive “empire building” to sustainable, collective legacy.

    Being BOLD in a Quiet Way with Tracie Root

    Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ Being BOLD in a Quiet Way Episode Summary In this heartfelt mini-episode, Tracie Root explores a different perspective on courage. So often, we associate boldness with big personalities, dramatic decisions, and fearless action. But what if some of the most courageous things we do happen quietly?
