    Episode 82: Should I Write a Book? Following God's Calling When You Keep Saying No

    In Episode 82 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm sharing the dream I've been saying no to for years: writing my book. Fresh back from Bourbon & Beyond, I open up about the signs God kept sending (the clouds, the people, the "you should write a book" comments I've heard since I was young) and why I finally signed up for Lauren Eastman's four-week writing course. I also break down the real costs and trade-offs of traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid options, and the biggest thing holding me back: telling a story that involves people who could be hurt by it. This is a deeply personal episode. I share how prayer has given me clarity, how faith carried me through 30 years of depression, and why I can now say I'm two years depression-free. I also give an update on the Holmestead Hideaway in Bequia, including the many no's we've heard while raising funds and why I'm choosing to keep going anyway. If there's a dream you keep pushing away because it feels too big, too expensive, or too scary, this episode is for you. You'll walk away encouraged to take one real step toward it today. The "B" in Biggie stands for Believe, and this episode is all about believing in the vision God placed in your heart, even when the answer you keep hearing from the world is no. Key Takeaways: ·       Recognize the repeated signs, people, and nudges pointing you toward your calling ·       Stop saying no to the dream that keeps coming back ·       Compare traditional, self-publishing, and hybrid routes before choosing your book path ·       Weigh the real costs of writing a book, in time, money, and emotion ·       Consider how sharing your hard story could help someone going through the same thing ·       Build a prayer practice that brings clarity to your biggest decisions ·       Treat rejection and no's as timing, not the final answer ·       Take one concrete action toward your dream today ·       Share your dream out loud so others can support and pray for you ·       Remember that no dream is too small, whether it's a book, a family, or a home Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Hideaway ✍️ Lauren Eastman, https://atelierattache.com/ ☁️ In the Clouds on Substack https://substack.com/@angelpholmes 📖 Lead with Prayer (the book I mentioned) https://www.leadwithprayer.com/ If you or someone you love is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, you're not alone.

    Episode 81: Support the Journey, Not Just the Success

    In Episode 81 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm coming to you straight from a hotel room in Asheville on our way to Bourbon & Beyond. It's about as real as it gets! This solo episode dives deep into something I've been seeing everywhere lately: people love to support success, but not always the journey that gets someone there. I share the story of landing my first job out of college with no experience by taking an entry-level role and offering to do PR on the side. That PR work ended up landing national press and convincing the firm to hire its first full-time PR person. I also get honest about what happened when I left the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, and what it taught me about who shows up when you're no longer in a position to help. Then I bring it home to The Holmestead Hideaway: why "I can't wait until it's open" isn't enough, and how our Homestead Angels are helping make this dream a reality before the doors ever open. If you've ever been the one with the big dream and not enough believers, or if you've been cheering from the sidelines waiting for someone else to "make it," this episode is for you. It's a reminder that the people who show up early are the ones who make everything else possible. The "B" in Biggie stands for Believe, and this episode is all about believing in someone's vision before anyone else can see it. Key Takeaways: Create your own opportunity when "no experience" is the barrier by offering a win-winProve your value in the role you have while working toward the one you wantRecognize the difference between people who support your success and people who support your journeyNotice who stays when you're no longer in a position to help themShow up for people while they're building, not just after they've arrivedSupport in ways beyond money: share, pray, make introductions, and spread the wordPlant seeds now, because you'll need your own early believers somedayExplore legacy giving through naming opportunities for a bar, bungalow, pool, or entertainment roomPledge your support toward a milestone without giving anything until the goal is reachedJoin the Homestead Angels (74 and counting, with over $13,000 raised) on the way to 100Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Bar & Retreat 👩‍💼 The Brighter Side Society 😇 Become a Homestead Angel 🏝 The Holmestead First Look & Mini Wellness Retreat in Bequia, first week of November.

    Episode 76: The Next Generation: Raising Kids Who Chase Big Dreams

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm joined by my youngest son, Chase, for a fun and heartfelt conversation — his second time on the podcast, and this one couldn't have come at a better time. He's heading into his senior year at James Island High School, and we dig into everything from his plans for the future to what he's actually picked up from watching me build businesses. We talk through Chase's plans for Trident Tech and eventually College of Charleston, his interest in business (and maybe running the bar down in the Caribbean one day), and where scuba diving and video games fit into it all. We also get into faith — why the people you surround yourself with matter so much for growing in your relationship with God, and why your faith should feel like any other relationship, not just something you turn to when you need something. After Chase heads out, I go solo to reflect on purpose and what it really means to be "anointed." I share an update on the Homestead Hundred campaign, now at 63 donors, and why every single person's story behind their gift has meant more to me than I expected. The "G" in BIGGIE stands for... actually, this one's less about the framework and more about the proof of it — watching your kids grow into the values you've been living out loud, even when you didn't know they were paying attention. Key Takeaways: Discover Chase's plans for Trident Tech, College of Charleston, and starting his own businessLearn what it's really like being the son of an entrepreneur — the good, the funny, and the "he uses ChatGPT as his business partner"Understand why community is essential for growing your faith, not just your businessHear Chase's honest take on senior year, scuba certification, and life goalsGet Angel's breakdown of what it means to be "anointed" and find your God-given purposeLearn why asking for what you want is the first step toward receiving itGet an update on the Homestead Hundred campaign and the stories behind the donorsFind out why sharing your story — even the small parts — creates a ripple effect you may never fully see Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: 🌴 The Homestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org

    Episode 75: Raising $5 Million for a Nonprofit Wellness Retreat: The Homestead Angels Update

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm joined by my husband Brian for our once-a-month update — and this one comes to you a little tired, a little chaotic, and completely real, straight from our new house in Charleston's Liberty Hill neighborhood. We just moved in, we're still hanging things on the walls (150+ items and counting), and between Brian working full days and me juggling three days at Paradiso plus a full plate of Homestead projects, we almost didn't get this episode recorded at all. But showing up consistently matters more to us than showing up perfectly, so here we are. We catch up on everything happening with The Homestead Hideaway, our nonprofit bar and wellness retreat coming to Bequia in the Caribbean — including the Homestead Angels campaign, where we've raised over $10,000 in just over a month, and the brand-new Homestead 100, which opens up giving to anyone who wants to be part of this story starting at just $10. We also share details on our upcoming Charleston fundraiser at Graze, our plans for Homestead Angel Boxes to support hurricane relief, and an exciting new partnership bringing meals and resources to schoolchildren in Bequia through the Grenadines Initiative. The "B" in BIGGIE stands for Believe — and this episode is proof that belief doesn't require perfect timing or a fully unpacked house. Sometimes it just means showing up, one tired Monday at a time, for the dream you're building. Key Takeaways: Discover how the Homestead Angels campaign raised over $10,000 in just 30 daysLearn why we opened the Homestead 100 to make giving accessible to everyoneGet the details on our Charleston fundraiser at Graze on September 6thUnderstand how Homestead Angel Boxes will provide hurricane relief supplies to families in needHear about our new partnership supporting schoolchildren in Bequia through the Grenadines InitiativeFind out what it really takes to raise $5 million for a mission-driven nonprofitGet a glimpse into life in Charleston's historic Liberty Hill neighborhoodLearn how corporations and family foundations can get involved through sponsorships and matching pledges Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: 🌴 The Homestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org

    Episode 74: Raising a Dreamer: My Son Riley's First-Ever Podcast Appearance

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm celebrating my birthday in the best way possible — with my firstborn, Riley, joining me for his very first podcast appearance ever, after two years of asking (and two years of him saying no!). Riley is nineteen, studying computer science at UNC Asheville, and somehow both completely different from me and exactly like me in all the best ways. We talk about how he found his people through the UNC Cosplay Club, the wild and wonderful world of GalaxyCon (yes, Darth Vader was there), and the courage it took to drive himself across North Carolina for the first time — while his Mama Bear texted the whole way. We reminisce about the Lego years, the Pokémon years, the Yu-Gi-Oh tournament where he schooled a total stranger, and our James Beard dinner trip to New York when he was ten. But the real heart of this episode is Riley himself — his quiet consistency (he's sent our whole family a good-morning text every single day for years), his kindness, and his own version of a big dream: to travel and live abroad someday. The "B" in BIGGIE stands for Believe — and this episode is a reminder that believing in your dream doesn't always look loud or ambitious. Sometimes it looks like a nineteen-year-old who just wants to go with the flow, see the world, and show up for the people he loves every single day. Key Takeaways: Discover how Riley found his community through UNC Asheville's Cosplay ClubHear the story behind Riley's first solo road trip and his GalaxyCon adventureUnderstand why small, consistent acts of kindness (like a daily text) matter more than grand gesturesRelive throwback memories of Lego builds, Pokémon meetups, and Yu-Gi-Oh tournamentsLearn what "big dreams" look like when they're about travel, not businessGet a glimpse into the mother-son bond that shaped both of our biggest dreamsHear why Riley says he'd rather "go with the flow" than chase one big dream — and why that's okay too Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@sipindipity.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org

    Episode 73: From Tragedy to Triumph: Amberly Lago on Surviving 34 Surgeries & Finding Joy

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm celebrating my birthday week (53 on Friday!) and episode 73 — my lucky number — with a guest I know God lined up perfectly: bestselling author and speaker Amberly Lago. I met Amberly at a conference last month and was instantly moved by her story. She's the survivor of a horrific motorcycle accident that led to 34 surgeries, an incurable nerve disease called CRPS, and a battle with addiction — and somehow, she's built a life defined not by what happened to her, but by the joy she's chosen on the other side of it. We talk about the moment everything changed on a California boulevard, waking up from an induced coma to a 1% chance of saving her leg, and the years that followed — chasing relief through 73 homeopathic pills a day, spinal cord stimulators, and eventually, alcohol. Amberly opens up about the shame that kept her isolated, the courage it took to walk into her first recovery meeting, and why she now celebrates five years of sobriety. We also get into brain mapping, reframing an ADHD diagnosis as a strength instead of a struggle, and how faith and gratitude became her non-negotiables. The "G" in BIGGIE stands for Grow — and this episode is proof that growth doesn't always come from the mountaintop moments. Sometimes it comes from rock bottom, and the decision to get radically honest and ask for help. Key Takeaways: Understand why the hardest part of Amberly's journey wasn't the accident — it was what came afterHear the honest story of how chronic pain led to addiction, and how she found her way backLearn why Amberly believes "the opposite of addiction is connection"Discover what brain mapping revealed about her trauma, resilience, and ADHD — and why she now calls it a giftGet real talk on why asking for help felt scarier than any surgery she went throughUnderstand how gratitude and non-negotiable morning rituals help her spark joy, even in griefHear about her new book, Joy Through the Journey, and why joy can be a business strategyLearn about her free tool where you can ask her 300+ podcast guests your biggest questions Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@neverstopdreamingbiggie.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org Connect with Amberly: 🌐 amberlylago.com/podcast 📱 @unstoppablelifewomen @amberlylagomotivation

    Episode 72: New Beginnings: Why Change Is Uncomfortable (And Worth It)

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm recording from a new backdrop (literally — there are still congratulations balloons behind me) as we settle into our new home, and I'm getting real about what it actually feels like to sit in the middle of change. This episode starts with a life update: a new house, a new neighborhood, and a new season heading into my 53rd birthday. But the heart of this episode is a conversation about new beginnings — why they're exciting and uncomfortable at the exact same time, and why I'm done playing small when it comes to sharing my faith, writing the book I've been avoiding, and stepping fully into my purpose. The "G" in BIGGIE stands for Grow — and this episode is a real look at growing through discomfort, taking little steps toward a big dream, and trusting that if the pieces are falling into place, it's probably meant to be. I'm also sharing an honest update on the Homestead Hideaway search — the islands still in the running, the industry shifts we're watching closely, and why we're staying flexible on what the final vision looks like. Plus, an update on the Homestead Angels 100 campaign, hurricane season prep, and a first look at our new Homestead Angel Boxes initiative. Key Takeaways: Understand why change is hard even when it's good — and how to sit in discomfort instead of rushing through itHear the honest story of my faith journey, from childhood protection to a season of self-reliance to fully recommitting in my 50sLearn why I'm finally saying yes to writing the book I've been putting off, and the two fears that held me backDiscover the "mountain climbing" mindset for chasing a dream — why little steps matter more than giant leapsGet the signs to look for when a dream is actually meant to beHear an honest update on the Homestead Hideaway search and why we're staying open to how it unfoldsUnderstand why contentment — not just chasing the next thing — is the real goalGet an update on the Homestead Angels 100 campaign, hurricane relief prep, and the new Homestead Angel Boxes Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@neverstopdreamingbiggie.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org

    Episode 71: When Friends Don't Show Up: A Lesson in Real Support

    In this episode of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm getting real about a lesson in friendship that hit me harder than I expected — plus an update on the Island of Angels fundraising campaign and a beautiful final conversation with Melinda Weldon, one of the most beloved members of The Brighter Side Society. This episode starts with an update on the Homestead Angels fundraiser, now over halfway to our $7,000 goal, and the exciting news that we're moving to Park Circle. But the heart of this episode is a moment I almost didn't share: what happened when I posted about feeling unsupported by people close to me, and the message from a friend that stuck with me long after. I'm walking you through what it really means to show up for the people you love — and what it feels like when they don't show up for you. The "G" in BIGGIE stands for Grow — and this episode is a real look at growing through hurt, disappointment, and the hard work of moving back into gratitude and faith. After that, I sit down with Melinda Weldon for her final Biggie Member of the Week interview, for now. Melinda shares her move to Charleston, losing her job, finding Like Minded Charleston at 3am during a scroll session, and the sweet business she and her husband Jeff started together, Cookie and Claws. Key Takeaways: Hear an honest update on the Island of Angels fundraising campaign and why every donation, share, and message mattersUnderstand the difference between followers who watch quietly and friends who truly show upLearn how to process hurt and disappointment without staying stuck in itGet an honest look at living with depression, and the tools that help walk through hard seasonsDiscover why community isn't something that happens to you — it's something you have to pour intoMeet Melinda Weldon and hear how losing a job led her to Charleston, Like Minded, and a whole new chapterLearn the story behind Cookie and Claws, Melinda and Jeff's Santa and Mrs. Claus businessHear why putting yourself out there, even when it's scary, is the only way to find your people Connect with Us: 🎙 @neverstopdreamingbiggie 📱 @angelpholmes 🌐 sipindipity.com 📧 angel@neverstopdreamingbiggie.com Learn More: 🌴 The Holmestead Hideaway: theholmesteadhideaway.com 👼 The Homestead Angels: homesteadangels.org 🎅 Cookie and Claws: https://www.instagram.com/the_porch_light/ on Instagram
