    75|Feeling Overwhelmed? Your Emotions May Be Trying to Tell You Something | Roberta Fernandez

    Girlfriends, have you ever felt something so strongly but couldn't quite put your finger on WHY you were feeling that way? Or maybe you've found yourself getting frustrated, holding things in, or reacting to something and wondering afterward, "Where did THAT come from?" Oh my goodness, you're going to love this conversation! Today, I'm sitting down with Roberta Fernandez, Your Mind Stylist, one of the wonderful women featured in Issue #7 of Being Brave Tour Magazine, celebrating eWomenNetwork Las Vegas! Roberta shares a fascinating perspective on something most of us were never really taught — how to understand our emotions and what they're trying to tell us. What if our emotions aren't something we need to hide, ignore, or push aside? What if they're actually our own internal GPS, helping us recognize what we need? And here's something from our conversation that really stayed with me: Instead of asking someone, "Why are you so defensive?" what if we simply asked, "What is it that you need right now?" Oh, how that one little question could change a conversation! So grab your coffee, take five minutes of "Me Time," and join us for a little girlfriend conversation about understanding ourselves, recognizing what we need, and building better relationships along the way. And here's a little question to take with you… What might your emotions be trying to tell YOU? Explore Roberta's reflection, "Stop Wearing Emotional Hand-Me-Downs," in Being Brave Tour Magazine.

    Are You Showing Up as the Woman You've Become? with Deborah Fawaz

    What If the Way You Show Up No Longer Reflects Who You Are? Finding Confidence, Personal Style & the Beauty Within with Deborah Fawaz Hey, Girlfriend! 💗 Have you ever walked into a room and suddenly felt like you didn't quite belong? Or stood in front of your closet wondering why the clothes you once loved just don't feel like you anymore? As we move through different seasons of life, our bodies change, our confidence shifts, and sometimes the way we present ourselves hasn't quite caught up with the women we've become. But what if showing up with confidence isn't about changing who you are? What if it's about allowing the woman you are today to shine through? In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, I'm sitting down with Deborah Fawaz of DDFaces for a girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation about personal style, first impressions, confidence, and the stories we tell ourselves when we look in the mirror. Drawing from her own childhood experiences of feeling different and not fitting in, Deborah shares how those early moments shaped her passion for helping women feel comfortable, confident, and authentically themselves. Together, we're exploring: Confidence and belonging: Why we sometimes feel out of place, even when we've accomplished so much. The stories in our mirror: How old beliefs about our appearance can influence the way we see ourselves today. Showing up intentionally: What our clothing, colors, body language, and first impressions might be communicating. Style through life's transitions: Finding what feels right as our bodies, lifestyles, and priorities change. Being your own beautiful self: Why personal style isn't about following trends or someone else's rules. And here's something I especially love about Deborah's approach: It's not about what's wrong with you. It's about discovering what might work better for you. So grab your coffee, Girlfriend, and enjoy a little Me Time with us. As you listen, here's a question to ponder: Does the way you're showing up today reflect the woman you've become — and the woman you're still becoming? Deborah also shares a reflection in the Being Brave Tour Magazine, where you can explore these questions a little more deeply and discover what showing up as your most authentic self might look and feel like.

    70|A Conversation with Angie Snowball and The audacity to show up and be brave!

    The Audacity to Show Up and Be Brave Girlfriend, have you ever felt like you have something to say… but then that little voice sneaks in and asks, “Who am I to share this?” I think so many of us have felt that. In my conversation with Angie Snowball, we talk about finding our voice, those feelings of imposter syndrome, and realizing that our story doesn’t have to be BIG to matter. Sometimes we just need a little encouragement to trust what we’ve lived, what we’ve learned and what we might have to offer another woman. Maybe she doesn’t need your whole story. Maybe she just needs one little piece of it today. Come join Angie and me for some girlfriend time on the Being Brave Tour Podcast. 💕 *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ Take a little “Me Time” with a direct download—no email required—of the Being Brave Tour Magazine, featuring Angie Snowball as part of Carol Dockum’s Beautiful Faces Going Places Women’s Success Network issue.

    72| Not Feeling Like Yourself? Needing a Simple Place to Start? with Kelli Wike

    Whoot Whoot! Our first “Me Time” Gathering! 💕 Ten lovely girlfriends gathered together to take a few moments for ourselves — to laugh, share ideas, have meaningful conversations and simply do life together. We started our evening with a special podcast conversation with Kelli Wike, where we walked through her Habit Stacker reflection in the Being Brave Tour Magazine and talked about how small steps can create big changes. Instead of trying to change everything at once, Kelli encouraged us to think about ONE positive habit we could “snap” onto something we already do every day — and, just as importantly, to think about our WHY. Then the conversation took on a life of its own. 💕 Ideas were bouncing around the room. Women were encouraging one another, sharing what works for them, laughing, getting curious and helping each other think about what one little change could look like in their own lives. In fact, we were having such heartfelt conversations over dinner that I completely forgot to take photos! 😂 Maybe that says something beautiful all by itself. So let’s keep the conversation going… What is ONE positive thing you could “snap” onto something you already do each day? And don’t forget to ask yourself — why does it matter to me? 💕 *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie, Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ A Little About Kelli Wike Kelli Wike is the founder and president of Nutrition Concepts Inc., with a degree in nutritional science and more than 30 years of experience helping people navigate health and wellness. Her own experiences with dieting, gut issues and menopause shaped her compassionate, relatable approach to helping women feel their best through every stage of life. Kelli believes healthy change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — it can start with one small, intentional step at a time, which is exactly what she invites us to explore through her Habit Stacker reflection in the Being Brave Tour Magazine.

    69|What If You Stopped Being Invisible? | Kay Fittes on Showing Up, Speaking Up & Knowing Your Value

    What If You Stopped Being Invisible? | Kay Fittes on Showing Up, Speaking Up & Knowing Your Value Have you ever felt invisible? Maybe you've worked hard, done all the right things, and quietly hoped someone would notice your value. Or perhaps you've found yourself shrinking back, waiting to be asked, or hesitating to say what you really want. In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with speaker, author, and founder of High-Heeled Success, Kay Fittes, for a conversation about what can happen when women stop waiting to be recognized and begin showing up for themselves. Kay knows the feeling of invisibility personally. Growing up surrounded by big personalities, she says she never fully developed a voice of her own. That experience eventually became part of the foundation for work she has now spent decades doing with women. Together, Karen and Kay explore what Kay calls the “Big Fat Lie”—the belief that if we simply keep our heads down, work hard, and provide enough value, eventually someone will notice and reward us. Kay offers another possibility: learn to recognize your own value, ask for what you want, use your voice, take up space, and become intentional about how you show up. She also walks us through her 6 P's for High-Heeled Success, from personal and professional esteem to verbal and nonverbal communication, presentations, and personal packaging—practical ways women can begin moving from insight into action. And Kay shares something that may surprise you: her very first presentation ended with her passing out! Today, after thousands of seminars and decades as a professional speaker, she's living proof that where you begin doesn't have to determine where you end up. This conversation is an invitation to ask yourself: Where might I still be making myself smaller? What do I really want? And am I willing to ask for it? Kay's hope for women is that we recognize the power already within us—and use it to create change in our careers and our lives. About Kay Fittes Kay Fittes is a dynamic speaker, author, coach, and founder of High-Heeled Success. Drawing from her background as a therapist and business trainer, Kay has spent decades helping women turn insight into action and build powerful, fulfilling careers. She is the creator of the 6 P's for High-Heeled Success and has delivered more than 3,000 seminars to over 100,000 women, combining practical strategies with warmth, humor, and real-world experience. Kay is also the author of multiple books, including Achieving High-Heeled Success: 50 Ways for Career-Oriented Women to Succeed. At the heart of her work is a message every woman deserves to hear: You have power. You have value. And you don't have to stay invisible. Want to take this conversation a little deeper? Follow along with Kay’s reflection in the Being Brave Tour Magazine: Beautiful Faces Going Places Women’s Success Network Issue and give yourself a little “Me Time” to explore what her message means for you.

    71|Yes Changed Everything: Suzy Prudden on the Choices That Shaped an Extraordinary Life

    Say Yes to Yourself: Suzy Prudden and the Power of Possibility What if the next chapter of your life begins with simply saying yes to yourself? In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, publisher, and longtime media personality Suzy Prudden for a conversation filled with stories of possibility, reinvention, and taking the next step—even when you don't have it all figured out. Suzy shares how she began teaching exercise in the living room of her five-flight walk-up in Greenwich Village, said yes when someone unexpectedly asked if she taught fitness to two-year-olds, and grew that beginning into a million-dollar business. She also shares the story of her Box of Possibilities, created during one of the darkest seasons of her life as a reminder that even when we can't see what's ahead, possibilities still exist. From building businesses and writing books to media appearances, publishing, and starting over again, a thread runs through Suzi's many chapters: keep showing up, keep growing, and be willing to say yes. Suzy also gets candid about one of the opportunities she didn't take—and why it taught her the importance of saying yes even when something feels scary. Her message for women is simple: There is a power inside of you far greater than you may realize. Maybe there's an idea you've been carrying. Maybe you're stepping into a new season. Or maybe you don't know exactly what's next. You don't have to have it all figured out. Sometimes the next brave step is simply to begin. About Suzy Prudden Suzy Prudden is a New York Times bestselling author, internationally acclaimed speaker, entrepreneur, fitness expert, hypnotherapist, success and accountability coach, publisher, and radio and television host. Throughout her career, Suzy has appeared on more than 1,000 radio and television programs, including Oprah, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. Her career has included multiple chapters and reinventions—from building a successful fitness business and becoming a body-mind pioneer to writing books, coaching, media, and publishing. Today, through Itty Bitty Publishing, Suzy helps authors bring their expertise into the world and use their books as tools to build their businesses and become known for what they know. And after all of those chapters, the message she shares in this conversation may be the simplest and most powerful: Say yes to yourself.

    68|Feeling like life has knocked you down and you’re not sure how to begin again? with Debrah Englert

    Feeling like life has knocked you down and you’re not sure how to begin again? Needing a little hope for your next brave step? Girlfriend, this conversation with Debrah Englert is for those seasons when life doesn’t look anything like you thought it would. Debrah shares her own journey through heartbreak, loss, starting over, and that very real question: Can I really do this again? We talk about the little voice that tells us we aren’t capable, the pressure to tie our worth to how much we accomplish, and what it can look like to rebuild slowly — one small, brave decision at a time. You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going next. Sometimes brave is simply being willing to believe there is still hope ahead. *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition Magazine with The Women of the Shine Circle Take a little "Me Time" with a direct download (no email required)  Visit Being Brave Tour Magazine www.beingbravetour.com Connect with Karen  Karen@favelifestyles.com
