Still Figuring This Out (And Showing Up Anyway)
I thought by episode 3 I’d have this figured out.I don’t.And honestly, I think that’s the point.In this episode of You’ve Got Something to Say, I’m talking about what it looks like to show up before everything is clear.Before you have the perfect format, the perfect plan, or even a full understanding of what you’re building.Because this isn’t just about podcasting.It’s about writing the book.Sharing your message.Using your voice before it feels fully formed.What if clarity doesn’t come first?What if clarity comes from doing the thing?You don’t figure it all out first.You figure it out while you’re doing it.Apparently… episode by episode.If you’ve got something to say but keep getting stuck in your head, I’ve got something to help

Rebel Tribe After Hours: The Things No One Tells You About Loss, Life, and What Comes After
Tonight’s conversation is one of those you don’t realize you need… until you’re in it.I’m sitting down with Patricia Crowder, and what starts as a conversation about caregiving and loss turns into something deeper—about identity, survival, and the reality no one prepares you for when life changes overnight.We talk about grief, but not in the way you usually hear it. Not the neat stages or the polished version. The real version.The emotional side.The logistical side.And the things that can completely unravel your world if you’re not prepared.Patricia shares what surprised her most, what she wishes she had known earlier, and why so many of the conversations we avoid are actually the ones we need to have now.Because this isn’t just about loss.It’s about how we live.Have the conversations.Make the plans.Use the fine china.This is Rebel Tribe After Hours… just a conversationConnect with Patricia on Facebook

I Almost Didn’t Record This (Because I Didn’t Feel Ready)
Not because I didn’t have something to say…But because it was late, I was tired, the lighting wasn’t great, and honestly? I didn’t feel ready.And that’s exactly the problem.If we wait until everything is perfect, we never start.In this episode, I’m talking about:Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuckHow overthinking stops your voice before it ever gets startedAnd what it actually looks like to show up anywayBecause I see this all the time...Women with something to say who keep waiting.Waiting for clarity.Waiting for confidence.Waiting for the right moment.But that moment keeps moving.So if you’ve been sitting on an idea—a podcast, a message, a book, a post—and telling yourself “not yet”…This is your reminder...You don’t find your voice before you start.You find your voice because you start.💥 Ready to stop overthinking and actually start using your voice?I created something to help you take that first step:👉Find Your Voice

Mini Mindset Drop: I Was the Odd One Out… Until I Realized That Was the Point
I spent a long time feeling like the odd one out.My dad wrote poetry.My mom could draw and paint.My family is athletic.And I wasn’t any of those things.And for a long time, that bothered me.Because I kept looking around thinking, "Why don’t I have those gifts?"In this Mini Mindset Drop, I’m talking about what shifted for me.And how the things I thought made me different—the things that felt awkward or out of place—ended up being the exact things that make me who I am.Because maybe the question isn’t:“What’s wrong with me?”Maybe it’s:“What if this is actually my strength?”If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit, this one’s for you.👉 Follow the show for more Mini Mindset Drops like this.

That.I sat down with Moxie Meg—who, by the way, showed up with breakfast burritos and her homemade Moxie sauce (which honestly already makes her a favorite)—and we were supposed to talk about her business.And we did… a little.We talked about her burritos. And her Fresh Market basket concept...which is actually reallly cool. And we talked about teaching people how to cook with real food. And then we wandered.Into gardening.Into farmers markets.Into dogs.Into whatever came up next.But that’s what After Hours is.No script.No rigid structure.Just real conversation.And honestly… those are usually the best ones.Follow Moxie Meg's on Facebook.

You’ve Got Something to Say… So Why Aren’t You Saying It?
You’ve got something to say, so why aren’t you saying it?This is the first episode of You’ve Got Something to Say, and we’re starting with something I see all the time.Women who have the experience, the stories, the knowledge and still hold back.Not because they don’t have anything to say.But because they’re overthinking it.Second guessing it.Waiting until they feel ready.And let’s be honest. That moment doesn’t just magically show up.We also get into something that doesn’t get talked about enough.If you don’t know what you actually want, or what you’re building, it doesn’t matter how many platforms you try.Podcasting, speaking, writing… all of that is great.But if your message isn’t clear—and YOU aren’t clear—it’s going to feel scattered no matter what you do.This show is where we figure that out.Not perfectly.Not polished.Just real conversations about using your voice and actually doing something with it.If you’ve been sitting on something, this is your sign.

And when it hangs around too long, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and stuck.In this week’s Mini Mindset Drop, we’re talking about something simple but powerful...Creating a positive environment for your mind.That means paying attention to what you allow into your life. The voices you listen to, the content you consume, the conversations you engage in, and the people you surround yourself with.Because what you focus on grows.Creating a positive environment isn’t about pretending life is perfect.

It’s Not About the Clothes. It’s About the Comeback. | Rachel Osborne Cox (Dress for Success NWA)
You hear “Dress for Success” and you think clothes. And yes, clothes are part of it. But that’s not really what this conversation is about.I sat down with Rachel Osborne Cox from Dress for Success Northwest Arkansas, and we ended up talking about what it actually looks like when women are trying to get back on their feet. The nerves. The confidence gaps. The “where do I even start” moments. And the wins—sometimes small, sometimes huge, always hard-earned.We talked about resumes, interview prep, career skills, community support, and the part nobody sees...What women are carrying with them when they walk through the door, and what changes when someone finally says, “You don’t have to do this alone.”It’s not a pitch. It’s not a brochure. It’s just a real conversation about dignity, second chances, and how comebacks usually happen in real life.Get your tickets for the EmpowerHer Conference here!

This Wasn’t The Plan: How Tiffany Curtis Changed Everything
This one wasn’t even supposed to be a main episode.It started as an After Hours conversation… the kind where we just sit down, loosen up a little, and talk about real life without a script.But somewhere in the middle of it, I realized…This is exactly what reinvention actually looks like.Tiffany Curtis spent years building a corporate career that looked great on paper. And then life stepped in—motherhood, health challenges, and that moment where you just know something isn’t working anymore.And instead of going back to what didn’t fit… she chose to build something new.It’s real. It’s a little messy. And honestly… that’s kind of the point.If you’ve ever felt like your life doesn’t quite fit anymore, this one’s going to hit.🔗 Connect with Tiffany CurtisThe Witch’s KitchenFor the Female Gaze podcastWags Walks & Pup Cups 🐾And remember…The best conversations?Yeah… they usually don’t go according to plan.
