    Master Inner Peace A Revolution from Within with Regena Ozeryansky

    Are you truly at peace, or are you just constantly chasing the next milestone, hoping it will finally bring you happiness? In this transformative episode of the Be The One podcast, host Nancy Matthews sits down with Regena Ozeryansky, founder of Internal Peace Now (IPN). Regena introduces us to the “Revolution to Inner Peace”—a powerful reimagining of what it means to be at peace. It’s not about sitting on a mountaintop; it’s about emotional mastery, recognizing the “subpersonality committee” in your mind, and breaking the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck. Together, Nancy and Regena explore why high achievers often reach the pinnacle of success only to ask, “Is this all there is?” and how we can rewrite the stories we tell ourselves to manifest a life of true fulfillment.

    Are you on the right track? Is it The One you chose or did someone else lay down the track you’re on?

    Are you living your truth, or are you just playing the roles everyone else expects you to play? In this powerful episode of the Be The One podcast, I sit down with Jewana White—The Conductor of Inner Sovereignty—to unpack what it really takes to reclaim your power and choose yourself. After 23 years working on the railroad (following the tracks laid out by her family), Jewana realized she was living a life of quiet fulfillment but zero genuine passion. Despite having the “secure” job, the paycheck, and the benefits, her body began to break down with injuries and pain. She soon discovered that her physical pain was a profound wake-up call: she was on the wrong track. In this episode we dive deep into: ✨ How to distinguish between the roles you play and who you truly are. ✨ Why “the issues are in your tissues” and how unresolved emotional pain lodges itself in the body. ✨ The terrifying but liberating moment you decide to bet on yourself. ✨ Her beautiful “VIBE UP” framework (Vision, Intentions, Breath/Body, Execution) to help you become the conductor of your own life. If you’ve ever felt the weight of expectations, struggled with burnout, or wondered if you’re on the right track, this episode is your divine appointment to wake up and take your authority back.

    Philanthropy Misunderstood: Why You Don’t Need to Be Rich to Be a Philanthropist How to Fund Your Cause and Make an Impact, No Matter Your Bank Account Think you need a million dollars to be a philanthropist? Think again. In this inspiring episode of Be The One TV, I sit down with Bob Hopkins—philanthropy expert, author, and founder of Philanthropy United—to dismantle the biggest myth surrounding the world of giving: that it’s only for the ultra-wealthy. Bob shares his powerful journey, from a pivotal childhood moment delivering groceries to a family in need, to his recovery from alcoholism, which ultimately led him to a 40+ year career as a fundraising executive. We dive deep into what true philanthropy really means (spoiler alert: it’s about your heart, not your wallet) and how anyone with a cause can step up and make a massive difference. If you are a non-profit founder, a visionary with a cause, or simply someone who wants to do more good in the world, Bob delivers practical, actionable strategies you can use today. We discuss: ✨ Why giving is a learned behavior (and how to master it) ✨ The #1 mistake people make when asking for money (and why people actually want to be asked!) ✨ The best months of the year to run an annual campaign ✨ How to build a 100-person fundraising army to support your vision ✨ Bob’s incredible upcoming documentary and book tour honoring Wounded Warriors Whether you are looking to raise funds for your community, your business, or a personal mission, this conversation will shift your perspective and give you the tools to become a true changemaker.

    The Fortune 500 VP Who Walked Away to Find Meaning (And What She Learned)

    Lisa L. Baker had it all — the executive salary, the $2.5 billion portfolio, the senior vice president title at one of the world’s most recognizable companies. By every external measure, she was the picture of success. But behind the scenes, she was living someone else’s script, bound by “golden handcuffs” and a lifetime of “shoulds” — the expectations, obligations, and well-meaning advice that had shaped her path since childhood. In this episode of Be the One, Lisa sits down with host Nancy Matthews to unpack her journey from success to significance. She shares how she broke free from a life built on other people’s blueprints, what it really takes to lead boldly as your authentic self, and why the question “What do I really want?” is one that too many successful people stop asking themselves far too early. Whether you’re a corporate leader feeling the weight of golden handcuffs, an entrepreneur wondering if there’s more, or someone who suspects that success and significance aren’t the same thing — this conversation will challenge you to examine whose script you’re living and invite you to step into your own greatness.

    35 Years of Guilt Left Her Body the Day She Told the Truth

    35 Years of Guilt Left Her Body the Day She Told the Truth How publisher PeggyLee Hanson spent nearly a decade helping others share their stories of courage — while hiding her own — and the moment everything changed. PeggyLee Hanson is the founder of Courageous Women Publications, an award-winning bestselling author, and the woman Nancy Matthews calls “the Divinely Sent Book Whisperer.” In this episode of Be The One, PeggyLee opens up about the moment she was “released” from the corporate world at 52, how she published her first book in a single month, and why she created the Courage Under Siege anthology series — now on its ninth volume. But the real story is what happened when she finally told her own. For nearly a decade, PeggyLee encouraged others to share their most vulnerable truths while keeping her own locked inside. When she finally shared her story, the guilt she’d carried for 35 years left her body — and no one walked away. 0:40 — Welcome to Be The One TV 2:50 — PeggyLee’s origin story: “I was released from the corporate world” 5:03 — Writing a book in a weekend: how it all started 6:57 — Courage Under Siege: 9 volumes of ordinary people, extraordinary stories 8:07 — The Toastmaster stories that were “left on the stage” 15:02 — “I couldn’t ask others to tell the truth until I was willing to tell mine” 17:57 — “I had 35 years of poison living inside my body” 18:25 — “The guilt left my body” — what changed after she told her story 19:43 — The fear of abandonment: “Everyone I told left me” 20:44 — Scars vs. open wounds: should you wait until you’re fully healed? 23:03 — Five strategies for healing and sharing your story 24:46 — “If you’re afraid to tell your story, tell it to me first” 26:14 — Lightning round: pineapple, her 101-year-old mother, and what she wants to be known for 28:38 — How to connect with PeggyLee & grab her free writing guide 📅 Book a call with PeggyLee: bookwithpeggylee.com ✉️ Email her: peggylee@peggyleehanson.com 📖 Free Chapter Writing Guide: freewritingchapter.com — Learn the 5 elements to get your chapter out of your head and onto paper. 🌐 Visit Nancy Matthews’ website: www.nancymatthews.com #BeTheOne #PeggyLeeHanson #CourageUnderSiege #ShareYourStory #Storytelling #Publishing #SelfPublishing #AuthorLife #BookWhisperer #CourageousWomenPublications #VulnerabilityIsStrength #HealingJourney #OvercomingShame #WomensStories #Anthology #WritingCommunity #PersonalGrowth #Inspiration #WomenInBusiness #Toastmasters #WriteYourBook #Storyteller #MentalHealth #FearlessStorytelling #NancyMatthews Get full access to Be The One at betheone.substack.com/subscribe

    She Was Managing 140 People, On Medication, and Barely Surviving — Until a Horse Changed Everything

    From a team of 140 and a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions to essential oils, energy healing, and a life she never saw coming. In this episode of the Be The One podcast, Nancy Matthews sits down with Kate Brown — healer, mentor, and founder of Kate Brown Healing Essentials — for a conversation that will make you rethink everything you’ve been told about “the safe path.” Kate shares the raw, unfiltered story of how a rescue horse’s emotional healing became the unexpected blueprint for her own — leading her out of corporate burnout, off anxiety medication, and into a life of purpose she never could have scripted.
