Talkin' Tennessee with Yvonnca

The Takeover Continues! David and Dr. Smalls continue the conversation and talk about how society has a way of handing men a script: be tough, be in control, be the provider, never admit you need help. We push back on that script and talk about the quieter work that actually builds a life: knowing who you are, knowing whose you are, and refusing the labels that try to shrink you. This is a powerful conversation! If you are looking for a Realtor, don't forget to call The Landes Team to help you buy and sell! Yvonnca LandesRealty Executives Associates865.660.1186 or 588.3232www.YvonncaSellsRealEstate.comAdrienne LandesRealty Executives Associates865.659-6860 or 588.3232Click here: https://linktr.ee/talkintnwithyvonncaTurning Knox Rental (Event Rental Services): www.turningknoxrental.comLandes Home Collection Online Store: www.landeshomecollection.comFor promotion inquires please contact Yvonnca Landes. 865-660-1186All Copy Rights are owned Yvonnca Landes and the Landes Brand ©.

The takeover you didn’t see coming… but definitely need to hear.On this special episode of Talkin' Tennessee with Yvonnca, David Landes and Dr. Tyvi Small take the mic for a powerful and unfiltered conversation about manhood. This isn’t surface level talk… this is real, honest dialogue about the quiet pressure men carry every single day.From expectations to provide, protect, and perform, to the emotional weight that often goes unspoken, they unpack the “box” society has built around masculinity… and what it costs to stay inside it. This episode challenges the narrative, creates space for truth, and invites a deeper understanding of what it really means to be a man today.Transparent. Thought provoking.

Some relationships don’t end with a fight, they end with a quiet realization: you’re holding the rope and it’s costing you your future. Liz Stowers joins me for a powerful, honest conversation about boundaries, “transitional friends,” and why women in particular get trained to fix everybody even when it turns into codependency. We talk about how to spot toxic patterns, how to stop carrying burdens that were never assigned to you, and how confidence gets built one hard choice at a time.If you are looking for a Realtor, don't forget to call The Landes Team to help you buy and sell! Yvonnca LandesRealty Executives Associates865.660.1186 or 588.3232www.YvonncaSellsRealEstate.comAdrienne LandesRealty Executives Associates865.659-6860 or 588.3232Click here: https://linktr.ee/talkintnwithyvonncaTurning Knox Rental (Event Rental Services): www.turningknoxrental.comLandes Home Collection Online Store: www.landeshomecollection.comFor promotion inquires please contact Yvonnca Landes. 865-660-1186All Copy Rights are owned Yvonnca Landes and the Landes Brand ©.

With Phyllis Nichols, we dig into the practice of leading from the back of the pack, where teaching, coaching, and empowering turn raw potential into real progress.

What happens when life gives you a second chance? Clarence Vaughn's story is nothing short of extraordinary—a powerful testament to how faith, community support, and personal determination can transform even the most challenging beginnings into a life of purpose and service.  Expelled from high school after missing 86% of the school year with a shocking 0.7 GPA, Clarence could have become another statistic. Instead, he is now serving as Director for the Office of Access and Community Connections at the University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business, Clarence has come full circle. He creates opportunities for young people just like his former self, including pre-collegiate summer programs that bring high school students to campus. His leadership philosophy is refreshingly grounded: "Small wins outweigh large victories," he advises, cautioning against the desire to leap from entry-level to CEO without experiencing the crucial steps between.If you are looking for a Realtor, don't forget to call The Landes Team to help you buy and sell! Yvonnca LandesRealty Executives Associates865.660.1186 or 588.3232 www.YvonncaSellsRealEstate.com Adrienne Landes Realty Executives Associates 865.659-6860 or 588.3232 Click here: https://linktr.ee/talkintnwithyvonnca Turning Knox Rental (Event Rental Services): www.turningknoxrental.com Landes Home Collection Online Store: www.landeshomecollection.com For promotion inquires please contact Yvonnca Landes. 865-660-1186 All Copy Rights are owned Yvonnca Landes and the Landes Brand ©.
