    Women on the Rise: Midlife, Mindset, and Modern Magic with Dr. Sue McCreadie

    On this powerful and expansive episode of the Women on the Risesegment of the BFF Empowerment Podcast, host Blaque Diamond sits down with holistic pediatrician and transformational midlife expert Dr. Sue McCreadie for a conversation that blends science, spirituality, mindset, and personal growth. With over 30 years of experience as a pediatric physician specializing in nutritional medicine, Dr. Sue has dedicated her life to helping children thrive. But her journey didn’t stop there. Through personal development, entrepreneurship, and following what she calls “the breadcrumbs,” she discovered her deeper calling — guiding women through midlife transitions as a coach focused on sustainable happiness. Dr. Sue reframes midlife as a “second adolescence” — a season filled with rediscovery, emotional shifts, identity changes, and relationship evolution. Together, she and Blaque Diamond explore what it means to navigate that stretch of life with intention instead of fear. The conversation dives into: ✨ The difference between therapy and life coaching ✨ How to shift from fear-based thinking to empowered decision-making ✨ Using mindset frameworks to transform anxiety into awareness ✨ Why personal development impacts parenting, marriage, and entrepreneurship ✨ Following your calling — even when you once resisted it Dr. Sue also shares how tools like numerology and tarot can serve as reflective instruments to uncover subconscious patterns and limiting beliefs. Rather than fortune-telling, she explains how these modalities create space for curiosity, clarity, and conscious choice. As two women currently walking the coaching path, Blaque Diamond and Dr. Sue also bond over stepping into life coaching after initially resisting it — proof that sometimes the very thing we avoid is the thing we’re meant to embrace. This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t stop at 30… or 40… or 50. Every stage of life is an opportunity to rediscover who you are, rewrite old patterns, and choose faith over fear. Connect with Dr. Sue at: 🌐 drsuemccreadie.com If you’re navigating transitions, craving clarity, or simply curious about how mindset shapes your reality, this conversation will leave you inspired, empowered, and thinking differently about what’s possible in your next chapter.

    Women on the Rise: from Burn Out to Balance with Mary Harris

    In this powerful episode of the Women on the Rise segment of the BFF Empowerment Podcast, host Blaque Diamond sits down with Mary Harris, a leadership coach (and former engineer of 20 years) now based in the south of France near Nice. Mary shares what sparked her major career pivot—navigating a full life, becoming a stepmom overnight, motherhood, and the wake-up call many women experience when the schedule is packed but something still feels off. Together, they unpack the difference between traditional “push through” productivity and what Mary calls a more sustainable approach: managing your energy, not just your time. You’ll hear Mary break down her Core Energy Coaching perspective, including the four key areas that influence burnout and fulfillment—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual energy—and how small shifts (like movement, boundaries, alone time, and values alignment) can create big change. Blaque Diamond also opens up about her own journey into becoming a certified empowerment coach, the power of finally making your “natural gift” official, and why self-care is so much deeper than spa days.
