    How to Get Over Yourself & Show Up Authentically ft. Tiana Patterson, Esq. | Ep. 97

    Send a text What if choosing yourself made everything lighter—your work, your health, even your glow? That’s the energy we bring to this conversation with Attorney and Founder Tiana Patterson, Esq., who walked away from a demanding leadership role to build two ventures that feel wholly like her: Twelve Point Strategies, consultancy for mission-driven nonprofits, and Old Dog New Treats, a research-backed treat line designed especially for senior dogs. If you’ve been waiting for permission to pivot, consider this your green light. You’ll leave with tangible steps: read your labels, use free resources like the SBA, ask your network for help, price with confidence, and build community around what you love.

    Inner Work, Self-Expression & Grit with SIN Productions Founder, Shanyse Inez Scott | Ep. 96

    Send a text Shanyse Inez Scott—veteran, nonprofit alum, mom, and now founder of Sin Productions—found her voice and built a filmmaking path centered on empathy, family, and bold, woman-centered drama. Learn how a chance audition lead to a New York Film Academy scholarship, and to screenwriting as therapy. We get into the nuts and bolts of turning a script into a shoot: raising equity, attaching talent, and choosing locations that serve the story. Shanice brings her background in psychology to every character, drawing on Internal Family Systems to write with “no bad parts” compassion. We dive into craft choices like mapping want versus need, building high-stakes goals, and letting specificity create universal connection.  Then we shift into the unseen engine: inner work. From therapy, to somatic practices, and mindful reflection. We also talk alignment—making creative decisions from core values, especially self-expression—so the page flows from love and connection, not fear. Shanice shares more about Seven Levels Deep to find your real why, a simple practice that turns external noise into static. For emerging writers and filmmakers, she offers clear steps for raising capitol, collaboration without ego, and playful rituals that keep courage high.  Ready to build stories that heal while you build the muscles to tell them?

    Audacity Redefined & Self-Mastery with Mrs. Cynthia B. | Ep. 93

    Send a text What happens when heartbreak is no longer the headline and your life becomes the story? On this episode, I sat down with author, mentor, and creative guide Mrs. Cynthia B to explore how personal responsibility, audacity, and intuition can turn pain into a blueprint for self-mastery. From unsent letters that became a first book to a thriving practice rooted in inner work, B shows how healing deepens when you stop outsourcing your power and start writing your own script. We dig into the real timelines of growth—the unsexy, slow parts that compound when nobody’s watching. We connect creativity to spiritual freedom, honoring a practice that’s wide and elemental to claim a life that truly feels good. B also reveals her bold pivot from The Crimson Kiss to Audacity Redefined, and why shifting the foundation from men-centered healing to woman-centered self-development changed everything. You’re not starting from scratch; you’re starting from experience. If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review to help more women find these tools.
