    Dancing Through Breast Cancer Into Purpose with Podcast Host Jenny C. Cohen

    Send us Fan Mail A breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the story, but sometimes it is the interruption that saves your life. I sit down with Jenny C. Cohen, an award-winning dancer and author, to talk about what happened when her career was taking off and everything suddenly stopped. Her path moves through chemo, fear, grief, and a hard reckoning with control, then lands in something quieter and stronger: presence, surrender, and purpose that is rooted in love instead of performance. We also go into the parts people rarely say out loud, like the anger that can rise when your child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the spiral of asking “why,” and the moment you realize your vigilance cannot keep everyone alive. Jenny shares how embodiment and movement helped her stay connected to God when words felt impossible, and we explore why many high achievers use busyness to avoid what is actually being asked of them. From religion trauma to rebuilding faith around relationship, we talk about daily practices that support spiritual growth and mental clarity. Sleep becomes a surprisingly practical theme, including sleep apnea, bedtime resistance, and why rest is not laziness, it is leadership. If you have been stuck in fear, doubt, or over-functioning for everyone else, this conversation is a direct invitation to pause for presence, stop piloting other people’s planes, and remember you are already beloved.

    How A Late-Career Layoff Became A One-Page Plan For Financial Freedom with David Nassief

    Send us Fan Mail Getting fired at 63 can feel like the end of the road. For David Nassief, it was the moment the road finally became clear. We talk through the shock of being let go after 18 years, the gut-level fear of doing the math and realizing “we could be broke by 65,” and the hardest part of all: driving home and figuring out how to tell his wife. If you’ve ever felt that quiet desperation around money, purpose, or what comes next, you’ll hear yourself in this conversation. From there, we get practical about the rebuild. David shares why he took a huge risk and went commission-only, how rejection built the mental toughness he needed, and why “making good money” still wasn’t enough. The turning point is what he calls his One-Page Wealth Compass: a simple, set-it-and-forget-it framework he built after reading 21 personal finance books and listening to 13 investing podcasts, then distilling the best ideas into something normal people can actually use. We dig into his “trail markers,” his “North Star principles,” and the small weekly habits that keep you from drifting into impulse spending and shiny-object investing. We also talk investing basics that cut through the noise: paying yourself first, low-cost index funds, and using market volatility to your advantage instead of panicking. David explains why he owns just two index funds (total US and total international), why he doesn’t try to time the market, and how simplicity can be a real strategy for retirement planning and long-term wealth building. We close with a faith-forward perspective on stewardship, freedom, and why the wilderness seasons can refine you.

    Reinventing After Everything Falls Apart with Author Ana Denis

    Send us Fan Mail Your life can look successful and still feel wrong, and that gap is where reinvention begins. We sit down with Ana Denis, an author and communication coach living in the Netherlands, to trace her path from a shy, bookish childhood in Russia to a senior role in cybersecurity, then into entrepreneurship and a mission built around voice, connection, and purpose. Ana shares what it’s like to chase financial security after growing up in poverty, only to realize the “golden shackles” of a great job can silence your inner life. We talk about the surprising bridge between industries: a sustainable fashion resale business built on pre-loved designer handbags, and how that side project helped her test a new identity before she was ready to let go of corporate certainty. Then the ground shifts. COVID opens the door to moving abroad, and the Russia-Ukraine war disrupts everything, cutting her business, draining her savings, and forcing her to rebuild without language fluency or the ability to simply “get a job.”  From that dark chapter comes a new strategy: interviewing women who successfully switched careers, finding the shared human thread across cultures, and turning those insights into her book Reinvento. We also explore communication skills, public speaking, TEDx The Hague, and practical visibility tools like LinkedIn and personal branding, all anchored in the deeper question of who you are without a title. If you’re navigating a career change, a midlife identity shift, or a season where you feel stuck and alone, this conversation offers real perspective and next steps.

    When The Dark Voice Gets Loud: A Failed Suicide Attempt Becomes a New Mission with Joseph Lenard

    Send us Fan Mail He woke up in a hospital and regretted it instantly. That single moment became the line between an ending and a calling for Joseph M. Leonard, who joins us to share the true story behind his 2004 suicide attempt and what it took to rebuild a life that still felt worth living.  We talk about the quiet danger of isolation, the “ugly voices” that convince you the world would be better without you, and why saying those thoughts out loud can be the first act of suicide prevention. We also go somewhere most shows won’t: AI chatbots and suicide risk. As a former IT professional, Joseph pays close attention to lawsuits and the way “always be supportive” logic can go wrong when someone is spiraling toward self-harm. We unpack why technology needs guardrails, why reality-based perspective matters, and what real encouragement sounds like when the stakes are life and death. From there, we get practical. We share small steps that can break a dark loop: get up, get out, go where people are, force a smile, use humor to reconnect, and challenge the thought that you’re a loser by asking for evidence and reframing it with truth.  We also dig into identity and purpose, especially when disability, career loss, or life setbacks strip away what you used to rely on. If you’re searching for meaning, faith-based resilience, or tools for mental health and hope, this conversation will meet you where you are.

    From Fear To Queen Energy Through Identity Shifts with Queen Holly Fair

    Send us Fan Mail A crown sounds like a costume until you realize it can be a mirror. Sylvia Worsham sits down with Holly Fair, a speaker and coach who decided to wear a literal crown everywhere for 730 days and ended up rewriting the story she’d believed about herself for decades. The result isn’t a gimmick. It’s a practical, emotional, faith-rooted conversation about identity, self-worth, and the moment when your purpose feels possible again. Holly shares the hard parts with real honesty: childhood sexual abuse, the shame and silence that shaped her early beliefs, and how those labels echoed into adulthood through loneliness, failed relationships, and the sense that her voice didn’t matter. She also opens up about infertility, an ectopic pregnancy, and a long season of depression that left her disconnected from life and from herself. We talk about what it means to feel abandoned in the dark, how faith and free will intersect, and why “I am” statements can either trap you or set you free. Then the shift: a Tony Robbins event, a question asked onstage, and Holly’s defining declaration, “I am a queen.” We dig into what she means by that, how she chose to define “queen” as gracious and inclusive, and how this identity became a daily filter for decisions, boundaries, and confidence. You’ll also hear the health side of the transformation, including her multi-year weight loss journey, sustainable habit change, and holistic nutrition focused on inflammation and consistency. If you’re rebuilding after grief, trying to stop shrinking, or ready to step into a clearer calling, press play.

    How To Discern God’s Voice At Crossroads with Spiritual Strategy Speaker Caleb Matthews

    Send us Fan Mail Comfort can feel like wisdom, especially when you’ve built a life that looks successful on paper. But what happens when your spirit keeps whispering, “This isn’t it”?  Sylvia Worsham sits down with Caleb Matthews to talk about the crossroads moments that force a decision: cling to control, approval, and achievement or surrender to God’s voice and step into purpose. We trace how calling often leaves clues early, through childhood interests, storytelling, and the “fearless” layer most of us had before life piled on doubt. Caleb shares how dreams and the night season shaped his faith, why it matters to see ourselves as spirit, soul, and body, and how Hebrews 4 reframes rest as a daily practice of dependence. If you’re burned out, overachieving, or stuck in anxiety, this is a grounded conversation about slowing down enough to hear God clearly. Then we go straight into the real fight: identity and spiritual warfare. We unpack why opposition can show up right before a breakthrough, how the enemy tries to question who you are, and why the Word of God and the Spirit work together to “evict” lies. Sylvia shares what it looked like to protect her home during a hard season, including simple Scripture-based boundaries that brought peace back to her family. We also touch on Caleb’s “DNA of design” framework and how naming your design can help you serve with clarity instead of striving. If you’ve been wrestling with purpose, calling, Christian identity, or discerning God’s voice, press play and take the next step with us.

    Chronic Illness Did Not End My Story, It Started A New One with Dr. Jeffery Bone

    Send us Fan Mail Black mold is not a scary headline, it can be a life-altering reality. Jeffrey Bowen joins me to walk through what happened after years of exposure in a poorly maintained office HVAC system, how it spiraled into chronic illness symptoms like crushing fatigue, pain, headaches, memory issues, and insomnia, and why getting answers can be so hard when you’re living with something complex and invisible. We also get honest about the emotional toll of being dismissed, misread, or told it’s “just anxiety” while you’re fighting to function. Jeffrey shares the surprising practice that helped him survive the darkest stretch: writing poetry. He explains why poetry worked when plain prose didn’t, and how putting words to suffering can create structure, agency, and a small pocket of relief when your nervous system is on constant alert. From there, we widen the lens to purpose, faith, and community. Jeffrey talks about pivoting from psychologist to chronic illness coach, creating journals that give people space to reflect instead of being told what to do, and why real self-help should ultimately lead to helping others. If you’re navigating toxic mold illness, chronic pain, long COVID-like symptoms, or any season where your old story feels cut off, this conversation offers both grounded tools and spiritual encouragement to keep going.

    From Victim To Victor: Turning Domestic Violence Survival into Purpose with Angeline Constantinou

    Send us Fan Mail She pressed “go live” with shaking hands, no outline, and tears she didn’t plan to show. By the next morning, millions of people had watched.  I’m Sylvia Worsham, and my guest Angeline Constantinou joins me for a candid conversation about domestic abuse survival, women’s empowerment, and what it really takes to break the silence when fear has been running your life. Angeline shares how she went from hiding behind the role of “the strong one” to speaking with raw honesty and discovering the ripple effect of vulnerability. We talk through the doubts that keep women stuck, the pressure of other people’s opinions, and why telling the truth can become the first real step toward healing, purpose, and reclaiming your identity. We also get practical about the inner work and faith-based healing tools that helped Angeline rebuild. You’ll hear about journaling, breathwork, deep meditation, sound healing, mentorship, and the daily practice of replacing lies with truth.  We explore gratitude and learning to sit in silence without distractions, plus discernment around who you surround yourself with, what voices you allow in, and how to stay aligned when the noise of the world feels confusing. If you’re looking for hope, practical steps, and a grounded “victim to victor” mindset shift, this one will meet you where you are.  Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.
