    #209 From Stuck to Unstoppable: How to Create Real Change with Tonya Comer

    Tonya Comer’s story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose. From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States. Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation. Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere. Tonya Comer is on a mission to ignite a Global Love Revolution—by guiding high-achieving women home to themselves. She believes that when a woman heals from shame and self-doubt and rises into wholeness and self-love, everything around her transforms. Her life becomes an extension of her truth. Her relationships deepen. Her leadership expands. Her work opens to something greater than the grind—it opens to purpose and service. In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for Designing Your Life is more than a book. It’s a movement—a catalyst for women to step fully into their power, align their purpose with their professional impact, and lead lives that heal not just themselves but the world.

    #205 Hormones, Energy & Feeling Like Yourself Again: A Precision Approach with Dr. Nayan Patel Part 2

    Are you feeling constantly tired and run down, or finding that your body simply isn’t bouncing back the way it used to? The reason may lie deeper than we often realize, at the level of our cells. In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, I’m once again joined by clinical pharmacist, wellness expert, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, Dr. Nayan Patel. Since 1999, Dr Patel has worked closely with physicians to custom-develop medication and hormone protocols for patients ranging from everyday individuals to CEOs, celebrities, and medical professionals. Dr Patel is also the author of The Glutathione Revolution and a frequent guest on leading health and longevity podcasts, where he shares groundbreaking insights into cellular health and antioxidant support. In this episode, we explore the powerful role of glutathione, a molecule often referred to as the “master antioxidant". Despite its crucial role in human health and longevity, many people, myself included until recently, have never heard of it. Yet glutathione may be one of the most important molecules in the body. Dr Patel explains how supporting glutathione levels can help improve energy, strengthen resilience, support detoxification, and protect our cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress. What I particularly appreciated about this conversation is how Dr Patel translates complex science into practical, empowering knowledge that anyone can understand and apply. Listen now if you’re interested in understanding how your body functions at a deeper level and how to support your long-term health and vitality. This conversation offers valuable insights you won’t want to miss.

    #204 Hormones, Energy & Feeling Like Yourself Again: A Precision Approach with Dr. Nayan Patel Part 1

    Hormone health impacts everything—energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, confidence, and how we show up in our lives. Yet for so many people, hormone care feels confusing, overwhelming, or dismissive. In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, I’m joined by Dr Nayan Patel, clinical pharmacist, educator, and founder of Central Drugs Compounding Pharmacy, a nationally respected leader in hormone therapy and personalised pharmaceutical care. With over two decades of experience working alongside functional and integrative physicians, Dr. Patel brings clarity to what’s often misunderstood. We unpack why “normal” lab ranges don’t always equal optimal health, how personalised hormone therapy truly works, and what patients can do to advocate for care that actually reflects how they feel. In this episode, we also talk about: Why hormone health is often misunderstoodEarly signs your hormones may be out of balanceHormone changes in perimenopause, menopause, and men over 40Safety, regulation, and quality in compounded hormone therapyIf you’ve ever been told “your labs are fine” while feeling anything but, this conversation will empower you with insight, language, and next steps.

    #203 Emotional Intelligence, Empathy & Impact with Suzanne Smith

    What does it actually take to lead with confidence — especially when the pressure is on? In this powerful episode of A Voice and Beyond, I sit down with leadership and performance coach Suzanne Smith, a specialist in high-performance psychology and self-leadership. Suzanne works with executives, professionals, and high-achieving individuals to build resilience, executive presence, and sustainable confidence from the inside out. Her approach combines performance psychology, behavioural strategy, and practical leadership tools, helping individuals move from self-doubt and hesitation to clarity and decisive action. In this conversation, we unpack: ✔ Why confidence is a result of action — not a prerequisite ✔ The psychology behind high performance under pressure ✔ How to lead yourself before leading others ✔ Practical strategies to build resilience and emotional regulation ✔ What separates consistent high performers from those who stay stuck Suzanne shares tangible frameworks that you can apply immediately, whether you’re leading a team, building a creative career, navigating career transitions, or simply ready to step into your next level. This isn’t leadership theory; it’s leadership in action. If you’ve been waiting to feel “ready” before stepping up, this episode will challenge that mindset and give you the tools to move forward anyway. 🎧 Press play.

    #202 Transforming Your Relationship Through Emotional Wholeness with Terry and Carol Moss Part 2

    What if conflict in your relationship wasn’t a sign something is wrong — but an invitation to grow? In Part 2 of this transformative conversation, Terry and Carol Moss share the practical tools that help couples move from emotional reactivity to emotional maturity — and how small mindset shifts can radically change communication, intimacy, and trust. They introduce The Three Keys to Emotionally Thriving Relationships and explain why emotional health, not chemistry, is what sustains love long-term. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of miscommunication, emotional distance, or repeated arguments, this episode will help you understand that thriving relationships are not built on perfection — they are built on emotional safety, humility, and a willingness to grow. You don’t need a different partner. You may need a different level of emotional awareness. This episode will leave you with hope, clarity, and practical next steps to strengthen your most important relationships.
