  1. Trust, Respect, and Cultural Fluency: Leading with Purpose with Greta Franklin

    Trust, Respect, and Cultural Fluency: Leading with Purpose with Greta Franklin

    Twenty years is a long time to do anything. But when you have spent two decades helping leaders build workplaces rooted in trust, respect, and cultural fluency, you start to see patterns that most people miss. In this episode, I sit down with Greta Franklin Okomo, founder and CEO of Collaborative Change Consulting, LLC, to talk about what it actually takes to lead with authenticity and create spaces where people genuinely feel seen and valued. Greta has spent her career working with higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations, advancing multicultural leadership and inclusion from the inside out. She is a coach, a facilitator, a keynote speaker, and someone who delivers hard truths with warmth and clarity. We talk about what cultural fluency really means in practice, why so many leaders struggle to build trust on their teams, and what it looks like when women stop shrinking and start leading from a place of full authenticity. This one is for every leader who wants to do better and every woman who is ready to stop waiting for permission to take up space.

    3 Ways Gaming Can Help Build Confidence in Your Child

    In this episode I am reading the second edition of The Executive Mom Project, my biweekly LinkedIn newsletter written for high achieving mothers raising children who are capable of more than the world has seen from them yet.

Plus one simple thing you can do today that will build your child's confidence without them even realizing it. If you have ever told your child to put the controller down, this one is for you.

    Your Story Is the Strategy: Building a Business Worth Talking About with Kristen Noelle

    What does it look like when a marketing strategist, a community builder, and a former cheerleader are all the same person? You get Kristen Noelle, and you get Venture to Bloom. In this episode, Kristen joins Healed and Chilled to talk about what she has learned helping business owners figure out what makes them magnetic and then actually building content around it. We talk about why so many founders overthink their content and underestimate their story, what it feels like to be in a room where everyone is showing up for themselves and each other on the same day, and how Kristen's years of living across three countries and five cities gave her a way of seeing people that most marketers never develop. She is the kind of person who will hype you up and tell you the truth in the same breath, and this conversation is proof of that. If you have been waiting for the right moment to let people actually see you and what you do, Kristen is here to tell you the moment is already here. Her next Content Day is July 18th in Lanham, MD. You get three edited reels and ten headshots ready to go to work for your business from day one.

    From Service to CEO: The Power of Networking, Visibility & Relationships with James L. Collins

    In this powerful and practical conversation, Healed and Chilled welcomes James L. Collins — veteran technology leader, former U.S. Diplomat, and Founder & CEO of Attucks IT Solutions, LLC. With more than 35 years of service across the U.S. Government, Intelligence Community, and national security space, James brings a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how careers are truly built — not just through skill, but through relationships, reputation, and the courage to put yourself out there. In this interview, we dive deeply into the importance of networking, showing up in rooms before you feel “ready,” and how strategic connections can open doors you didn’t even know existed. James shares lessons from his journey — from serving as a U.S. Navy Communications Technical Officer, to leading global IT modernization efforts at the Department of State, to ultimately transitioning into entrepreneurship. We talk about how visibility, trust, and consistency helped James navigate complex global environments, lead mission-critical programs, and successfully launch his own company after retirement from federal service. His insights are especially powerful for professionals, founders, and leaders who are ready to move beyond titles and start building lasting influence. This episode is a reminder that networking isn’t about collecting contacts — it’s about creating meaningful connections that align with your purpose and your future. ✨ About James L. Collins: James is a nationally respected Cyber Mission Enabler and Senior Telecommunications Manager with deep expertise in strategic planning, crisis management, IT security, and enterprise program leadership. After retiring from federal service in 2019, he continued supporting national security missions as a Department of Defense contractor before founding Attucks IT Solutions, LLC in 2022. 👩🏽‍💻 Hosted by Coach Yana, The Children’s Confidence Coach 🌐 https://www.thelaptoplifecoach.com #HealedAndChilled #JamesLCollins #NetworkingMatters #PutYourselfOutThere #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerGrowth #FromServiceToCEO #StrategicRelationships #EntrepreneurshipJourney #VisibilityMatters

  7. Traveling Home Within: Conscious Living, Ancestral Healing, and Global Awakening with Queen D. Michele

    Traveling Home Within: Conscious Living, Ancestral Healing, and Global Awakening with Queen D. Michele

    In this expansive and soul-centered episode of Healed and Chilled, Coach Yana, The Children’s Confidence Coach, sits down with Queen D. Michele — author, blogger, creator, and consciousness educator — for a deeply meaningful conversation about self-awareness, ancestral healing, and living intentionally across borders. Queen D. Michele shares her powerful journey of living abroad in Mexico, returning again in 2025 as a permanent resident, and how relocating from Atlanta transformed not only her lifestyle, but her inner world. Through her writing and lived experience, she documents what it means to move beyond comfort, embrace change, and align life with soul purpose. The conversation deepens as she reflects on her ancestral journey to Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, where DNA testing revealed her roots in the Fula Tribe. That journey, along with her travels to Egypt and the Nile, opened profound conversations around generational trauma, healing, and remembrance — themes that now guide much of her work. Queen D. Michele also discusses her commitment to the next generation through her mindfulness curriculum for Gen Alpha, designed to foster self-awareness, emotional intelligence, conscious decision-making, and holistic well-being. She shares insights from her spiritual guidebooks and wellness teachings that encourage individuals to check in with the six interconnected aspects of well-being: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, social, and financial. This conversation between Coach Yana and Queen D. Michele was grounding, expansive, and deeply intentional — a reminder that healing is not only personal, but ancestral, and that awakening is a journey both inward and outward. ✨ Learn more about Queen D.

  8. Beyond Diagnosis: Remembering Our Humanity with Dr. Fred Moss

    Beyond Diagnosis: Remembering Our Humanity with Dr. Fred Moss

    In this deeply grounding episode of Healed and Chilled, Coach Yana, The Children’s Confidence Coach, sits down with Dr. Fred Moss — board-certified psychiatrist, life coach, author, speaker, and lifelong advocate for authentic human connection. With more than four decades in the mental health field, Dr. Fred brings a refreshing and compassionate perspective that challenges the traditional narrative around diagnosis, labels, and “fixing” people. He shares why he doesn’t believe humans are broken — but rather unheard, misrepresented, and disconnected from their true selves. Dr. Fred opens up about his unconventional journey into psychiatry, including dropping out of college twice before discovering his calling while working at a state mental health facility for adolescent boys. That experience sparked a lifelong commitment to listening deeply, questioning systems that miss the humanity in healing, and creating space for real conversation — where true transformation begins. Together, Coach Yana and Dr. Fred explore what healing looks like when presence replaces pathology, when listening becomes medicine, and when people are invited to reconnect with their voices without shame or pretense. The conversation touches on mental health, creativity, consciousness, relationships, and the power of simply being seen and heard. With warmth, humility, and wisdom, Dr. Fred reminds us that healing doesn’t live in labels — it lives in connection. ✨ Learn more about Dr. Fred Moss and his work:👉 https://drfred360.com/ 👩🏽‍💻 Hosted by Coach Yana, The Children’s Confidence Coach🌐 https://www.thelaptoplifecoach.com #HealedAndChilled #CoachYana #DrFredMoss #MentalHealthReimagined #HumanConnection #HealingConversations #AuthenticLiving #PresenceOverPathology #EmotionalWellBeing #ConsciousHealing
