    The Write Path #33 - "Mannershift!" with Author Adrienne Barker!!!

    Being great at what you do isn’t the problem anymore. Being trusted, respected, and taken seriously is. My guest today is Adrienne Barker, creator of MannerShift™, a modern framework that redefines professionalism as a leadership, communication, and credibility advantage in today’s high-visibility world.  MannerShift™ goes far beyond etiquette. It focuses on how leaders show up, how professionals communicate under pressure, and how everyday behavior shapes trust, authority, and reputation both online and in the room. Adrienne teaches that professionalism today is not about rigid rules. It is about emotional intelligence, perception, consistency, and how your behavior either strengthens or weakens your influence. She works with leaders and business professionals who want to communicate clearly, lead confidently, and build credibility without losing their personality. She is the host of Adrienne Barker Speaks No Prep Needed, Professional Global Etiquette Podcast, Debate The News True Crime, The Supplier Promo Playbook, and My Daughter My Friend.  Listen now.  Her Website:  https://adriennebarker.com/ Mannershift System:  https://mannershift-ps733agf.manus.space/ Welcome to the Write Path Podcast, where being an author, an actual author, still matters.

    The Write Path #31 - "Give Back the Pain" with Dr. Robert Bleck!!!

    Our guest today, Dr. Robert Bleck, in his own words:  "My name is Robert Bleck, and I have helped thousands of people over the years heal from emotional suffering, trauma and/or abuse. These people are usually afflicted with tormenting and destructive behaviors caused by the feelings they hold inside.  In addition to being a survivor of trauma myself, I am the creator of what is called Source Completion Therapy, which is a 3-phase process designed to cleanse and heal deep emotional wounds.  The process encourages you to 1) confront the true source of your pain, 2) re-experience the original trauma in a safe way, engaging all five senses and 3) give feedback to those responsible for the pain through various techniques.  Then, you can emerge with a brighter heart and be open to the magic, beauty, and wonder life can be.  My book, ‘Give Back the Pain,’ through true stories and snippets, explains the process in detail."  Listen now.

    The Write Path #30 - A Journey to "Fox Creek," with Author M.E. Torrey!!!

    Today we have with us author M. E. Torrey, who has penned an award-winning, critically-acclaimed historical novel that poignantly shows the human toll of black slavery on society. Michele worked for twenty years as an writer for children before turning her talents to adults. M. E. Torrey's Fox Creek, a riveting work of literary fiction, delivers a haunting new look at the Antebellum South. The acclaimed children's book author makes her debut in adult fiction with Fox Creek, a sweeping and unflinching historical novel that confronts a brutal and fraught era in our nation’s violent history. Fox Creek follows a cast of unforgettable characters, enslaved and enslaver alike, whose intertwined fates reveal the staggering contradictions of life in the 19th-century South. Torrey, who has spent years researching plantation records, slave narratives, and diaries of both the oppressed and the oppressors, renders a narrative that is at once harrowing, compassionate, and morally urgent. By portraying slave owners not as caricatures but as ordinary people who justified extraordinary harm, she forces readers to ask: How do ordinary people blind themselves to cruelty?  Listen now!
