2025/08/09

So far, I have always scripted all episodes, and then I read my scripts with little improvisations. This one is 100% unscripted. I know that there are people who speak their thoughts into a recorder and then write texts based on those audio recordings. I am a listener of one female podcaster who was born a talker, and I can tell she never scripts anything. I am not like that. I always think quietly and talk in my head, so talking out like this means that I need to rewire my brain. I did edit out

She Became CEO. Of Her Voice. Of Her Money. Of Her Life.Launched it under a new podcast name; this is a transitional episode. I made this decision for a couple of reasons: first, I no longer wish to push the story of how to remember my name in the front of my message. I no longer want it to be about me, but how, using my experience and skills, I can help other women to pivot from victimhood and become the CEOs of their voice, their money, and their lives.

Do you feel comfortable in your body? Do you know people who don't? Until recent years, this wasn't a widely discussed topic. Then, it became popular, and we saw people who had decided to change their gender coming out of the closet. We learned to be inclusive and were encouraged to indicate the preferred pronouns in our signature line. I have had the privilege to always feel feminine, which matches the gender determined at my birth. I used to think this was the norm, but I am aware of this being a

If you are somewhat familiar with Tarot cards, you'll know that in Tarot, the Hanged Man card signifies a period of pause, reflection, and reevaluation. It encourages surrender, letting go of old beliefs, and embracing a new perspective to move forward. I was a hanged man for a while, and you may remember me before that period. You may not want to accept the changes in me because I have come back different. If that's the case, it's all right, but perhaps we need to part ways because I can't undo the

2025/05/17

Usually, a strong value and belief system is praised. I have had several major transformations in my life, and I believe it is necessary and healthy to be curious and listen to those with contradicting viewpoints, consider other perspectives, and, if arguments are convincing, modify our belief systems. It isn't weakness, it means you are progressing instead of stagnating. What do you think?
