Forrest is a fractional COO that focuses on transformation, clarity, accountability, & systems excellence, helping business owners find footing in their companies.  He focuses on businesses that are losing 30% + of their revenues due to inefficiency in mitigating operations, which produce bottlenecks at the top.  Many potentially successful business owners stand in their own way with large dreams and small guidance, Forrest fixes that by teaching them the skill set to organize & prioritize, not just their business adventures but in a mindset that leads to a better lifestyle holistically. Without balance in the workplace, a business owner can't find balance outside of it either. The ability to compartmentalize is lacking when we own the business & our families rely on the revenue.  As an integrator & operations coach he is committed to helping businesses owners regain control of their lives.  Guest Link:  http://derrconsulting.com https://enrg.life/ YouTube: Fixers and Founders Podcast Host(es) links:   Patricia Ann:   https://www.uhm.com/phoward/ Krystal Marazzi: If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us! or if you would like to sponsor our podcast with an advertising spot...

The Vibe Raw, reflective, and defiantly hopeful—an unfiltered embrace of change, faith, and self-trust.   The Dynamic The conversation maintains a candid, supportive tone with moments of humor and vulnerability. Both hosts lean into personal disclosure—one navigating a breakup and the other reframing midlife frustrations—while encouraging listeners to join the dialogue. The energy alternates between introspective and empowering, with an underlying thread of letting go of control and redefining what "perfection" means, all wrapped in a playful "untamed" brand identity.   The Gist The hosts kick things off by affirming their "Untamed Psyche" ethos—unhinged, free, and unapologetically themselves—before turning to a listener's question about navigating big life changes later in life. Speaker 2 shares her current breakup and the difficulty of leaving long-standing habits, while leaning into a new practice of faith and relinquishing control even when understanding is elusive. In this episode we relate with honest frustrations in our forties, recalling a significant life upheaval and pay cut years ago. Together, we explore redefining perfection as being healthy, happy, and in motion, trusting the safety net beneath us, and choosing to "fall forward" rather than fall in line. They close by inviting audience participation via text and teasing a "know the host" segment and future listener-driven content.   Host(es) links:  Patricia Ann:   https://www.uhm.com/phoward/ Krystal Marazzi: If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us! or if you would like to sponsor our podcast with an advertising spot...

Episode 55, Kenneth Russell, brand ambassador for Riman, flips the script as a man in a female-dominated industry.  Growing up he did not envision working in skincare but entered through exposure to brands like Avon & Mary Kay, eventually building a team that is about 95% women. He reframed the business focus as "we don't sell skincare; we sell confidence and compliments," positioning skincare as self-care, self-love, and self-respect rather than vanity. Networking shifted his target audience to med spas, salons, barber shops, and nurse practitioner offices that carry skincare and supplements.   The statistics & stigma around men's skin health, melanoma risk, & sunscreen habits were alarming. Kenneth dives into the behavior changes he implemented himself before jumping into this business model. Riman positions itself as the number one K-beauty brand globally and operates seed to sale, harvesting its own ingredients. In Korea it was labeled a skin repair company, and "Incellderm" refers to intercellular dermatology designed to penetrate the dermis and work from the inside out.  Guest Links:  Kenneth Russell Shopping Link: 405.245.1303 Riman Life  Thick Skin #Broglowmovement Host(es) links:  Patricia Ann:   https://www.uhm.com/phoward/ Krystal Marazzi: If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us! or if you would like to sponsor our podcast with an advertising spot...

Kenneth, our Ep 54 Guest, is an affiliate for #Riman #SkinCare. Riman began in 2018 in South Korea and generated $2.5 billion in sales in the first four years, even through COVID. The company launched in the United States in March 2023 and has been growing since.  Kenneth works with a business partner introduced by Riman's leadership to support national expansion; he was pitched the opportunity as "ground floor" with a "cash rich company."  Kenneth is based in Oklahoma City, an alum of Millwood High School, attended Langston University, later completed his degree, and currently works as a professional behavioral health case manager. He transitioned into skincare as a brand ambassador for Riman after initially using "Dove sensitive soap and water." He tried the Riman kit for about seven days and saw results around 30 days. His core motivation centers on family: supporting his mother, who had him at 15 and has been on dialysis for "30 plus years," and honoring his pastor and first lady (also his in-laws) who have been in ministry "approaching 40 years." He aims to find freedom to mentor without reliance on a paycheck. Product line: Radiant Sun: oil-based skincare line.  Botolab: hair care and body care Lifening: nutrition products focused on gut health and liquid collagen In April of this year, Riman rolled out an all-natural makeup under the IncelDerm tag.   The company offers "no more than about 50" unique individual à la carte products.  Riman positions itself as the number one K-beauty brand globally and operates seed to sale, harvesting its own ingredients. In Korea it was labeled a skin repair company, and "Incellderm" refers to intercellular dermatology designed to penetrate the dermis and work from the inside out.  Guest Links:  Kenneth Russell: 405.245.1303 Riman Life  Thick Skin #Broglowmovement Host(es) links:  Patricia Ann:   https://www.uhm.com/phoward/ Krystal Marazzi: If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us! or if you would like to sponsor our podcast with an advertising spot...

Personal Life and Parenting Teenagers We discuss our experiences raising teenagers, including teaching them to drive & the challenges involved, running a business with a toddler to teenager & it's impact on the family dynamic.  Impact of Parental Entrepreneurship on Children Sara described how her daughter, after years of observing her mother's business, started her own polymer clay earring business and is now in her fourth year, demonstrating the positive influence and learning outcomes for children exposed to entrepreneurship. Helping Clients Achieve Their Dreams We share a shift from focusing on sales to helping clients achieve their dreams, sometimes without direct financial gain, & ep 43 highlights the importance of a holistic approach to client needs. Financial Literacy Gaps Many adults, even over the age of 30, do not know basic financial information such as their pay frequency or hourly wage, & rarely review pay stubs or bank statements. Pet Safety & Product Use Potential for New Product Development Emotional Vulnerability and Coping Mechanisms Open discussion about experiencing meltdowns, crying in front of children, and the importance of not bottling up emotions. Strategies include setting time limits for emotional release and using movies or humor as coping mechanisms. Support Networks and Communication Strategies Introduction of the 'eight minutes' code word for friends to signal a need for emotional support, referencing research that meaningful conversations require more than five minutes. Mothers' Mental Load and Preparedness Anecdotes about mothers carrying extensive supplies (e.g., super glue, batteries) to be prepared for any situation, highlighting the mental load and anticipatory planning mothers often undertake. Entrepreneurs can utilize support systems and strategic resource allocation, including hiring part-time help and leveraging tax credits, to manage business and family demands without waiting for perfect conditions. Mothers often carry a significant mental and logistical load, being prepared for various contingencies, which is recognized by both children and peers.

Honey Witcher tells her story of resilience from a car wreck that left her, wondering who she was. The traumatic closed brain injury put her in a world of the unfamiliar.  Who she was, died, along with everything she & her family knew. She lost who she was & had to watch her family grieve who she was while fighting to get them to love who she is.  This spiral of amnesia left her homeless, longing for love & to love, & paired with survivor guilt to completely rebuild her life, without even knowing what her skill set was. While stumbling blindfold in the dark, she found a way to overcome & go on to be more successful than most, with less stumbling blocks.  Please join us to hear her tale of Honey, hunting to find her path among the weeds. Her story is heart wrenching & full of betrayal, deceit, & a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I am so proud of the stride she has made & I know you will be too.  Guest links:  https://www.facebook.com/honeyrwitcher Image seo king at King of Image SEO Honeybadger SEO Consulting Related links:  coaching_with_patriciaann patriciahowardjourney linktr.ee/adreamlifejourney adreamlifejourney.com/coaching- Krystal Marazzi: All contacts can be found on this link: https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link W-FiT: Friendship is Therapy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/358124516034928/ https://MazaratiSolutions.com If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!

There's a balance between aspirational change to growth & a person adapting inspirational ideas & not being true to themselves.  We can find ourselves attempting to mask our authentic selves with coping responses, such as people pleasing & find ourselves lost in the shadows of personal branding, masking who we truly are, with what is working for others.  We can combat drowning in the sea of being lost with understanding our core values & personal morals. After they are defined, we can tap into our inner pirate by applying AAR.  Acknowledge our feelings Accepting our feelings as legitimate Then Reframing our mindset to look at the situation in a different light.  We then call upon the secret P.I.M.P within us to hold ourselves accountable with our personal internal management plan.  When we do the work on ourselves everything else falls into place.  Hosts links:    adreamlifejourney.com/coaching- All contacts can be found on this link: https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link W-FiT: Friendship is Therapy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/358124516034928/ https://MazaratiSolutions.com Krystal R Marazzi, Financial Advisor | Edward Jones https://HouseofKawasaki,Kymco,&VanderhallofOklahomaCity If you have a topic you want us to discuss or would like to feature your business on our podcast - CONTACT US!

Trigger Warning Part 2 of Ep 24: Part1- Tackling Trama w/Travis Manion Foundation/Aaron Hudgins  On Episode 25, Aaron Hudgins, goes more into detail on Part 2, of the why behind his passion behind supporting the Travis Manion Foundation (more on the foundation on Ep 24 Part 1) The WHY he felt the massive pull to join this organization stemmed from his wife, Jari Hudgin's, #suicide. We honor her and her chilling story in this Part 2 Episode 25, A Journey for Jari Hudgins. Her suicide affected the family all the way through the extended family. Trauma is difficult for our children to digest & rocked the family to the core of their foundation. Suicide happens to everyone caught in the ripple. "It's less of a committed act, than a result of a fight inside that no one else can see."

Trigger Warning On Episode 24 we welcome back Patricia Ann Howard. Our small business guest is with Aaron Hudgins, representing Travis Manion Foundation. Travis Manion, a non-profit, focusing on the healing of fallen soldiers, has leadership chapters all over the US. The Oklahoma Chapter is in the process of being resurrected, & they are looking for board members, to get this off the ground!  The WHY he felt the massive pull to join this organization stemmed from his wife, Jari Hudgin's, #suicide. We honor her and her chilling story is conveyed in Part 2 (airing September 18, 2024- you don't want to miss).  We live our lives in our own bubbles, with our head in the sand, self-contained in our own dramas. The ripples of our actions travel across the world.  To thrive you have to have:  Meaning Relationships Engagement The #Travis #Manion slogan is, "If not me, then who..." These words are from their website, I mean who better to describe their heart then their own words? " #TMF strives to unite and strengthen communities by training, developing, and highlighting the role models that lead them. We develop programs, training opportunities, and events designed to empower veterans and families of the fallen, and then inspire them to pass on their values to the next generation and the community at large." Inspired by a legacy of service, they reach out to the surviving families of fallen military (and soon ALL first responders), focusing on the surviving children, because they are our future. If we work to heal the future, the rest will come into play.  To learn more about the #TravisManionFoundation click the link below:  Who We Are (travismanion.org) or reach out to Aaron Directly Guest Info:  http://www.facebook.com/aaron.hudgins.712 "We are all in the same fight"  Host Links:  Krys Marazzi https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link Patricia Ann linktr.ee/adreamlifejourney If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!  Call/Text (803) 868-2633 Email:  [email protected] FB & FB Messenger: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552693794521 Until next time- "If you find yourself searching for a bone- dig deep" Other links mentioned:  https://www.veteransforlifeusa.org/about-3 Amazon Music/Audible  Audacy Deezer Gaana iHeartRadio JioSaavn Libsyn Classic Feed Network App Listing Player.fm Podcast Page

We are introducing Patricia Ann Howard as a semi-perm addition to Untamed Psyche! She discusses her struggles & how they played into parenting, & how her trauma ended up as a pass-through to her own children.  We discuss how our minds have been conditioned over our lifetime to believe #negativity about our #selfimage & our actions.   We are unaware of our subconscious programming that we've experienced throughout our lifetime up until this day. Think of some #negative connotations you were told as a child for example: ☆clumsy ☆wild ☆financial structures ☆flat chested ☆unlucky   These negative connotations limit our own potential & that = #selfsabotage. There is no perfect childhood & we unintentionally lean into the familiar passing out #traumas onto to the next generation.   ~Even the sun's light is dimmed by dark clouds~   Eventually with enough negative seeds of weeds planted in our brain we will not be able to see your path to progression.    Reflecting on individuals who have, intentionally or unintentionally planted negative seeds in your memories, then choosing to release that guilt.    #changethenarrative #changethestory   ~#SheWolfofAllStreets Related Links for Host: https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link Patricia:  coaching_with_patriciaann patriciahowardjourney linktr.ee/adreamlifejourney adreamlifejourney.com/coaching-     W-FiT: Friendship is Therapy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/358124516034928/ www.http://MazaratiSolutions.com Krystal R Marazzi, Financial Advisor | Edward Jones www.https://HouseofKawasaki,Kymco,&VanderhallofOklahomaCity If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!

20yrs ago, Mary Morris, searching for her #purpose journaled out her #CoreValues. She always filters through these 3 core values before committing. These values make up her foundation to search for what fulfills her heart & purpose in life.  Be Bigger than Herself Heal People Get Out of Her Comfort Zone  So, when she became a nurse, it seemed natural, because if it's uncomfortable & hits the other two points, it's probably worth doing.  Even when she had found her #direction she still struggled to find the perfect recipe to that purpose. There were ups & downs, highs & lows of #discouragement, until she found the right type of nursing that became the right environment to #grow.  When she met Katie Walters & heard her story, those core values sang. This amazing story within the story was eye opening! Katie didn't know the why she was supposed to be where she was. It looked like there was no purpose, but she saw the need & used it to bridge a gap in bettering the community & economy of Togo! This group of women saw an opportunity to make a difference which lead to others showing a city how to create generational change in education, health, & financial growth.  Francis+Benedict found a sustainable business model that produces a better life for everyone blessed by its ripple effect.  Change starts with opening your eyes to opportunities, using your ears to hear the message, & a pure heart to fuel the passions of another.  You were meant to be here.  You were meant for a purpose.  You CAN make a change.  Go check out Mary's distribution & advocator link.  I know I'm sold on helping Togo! ~She-Wolf of All Streets  Guest Links:  https://linktr.ee/MaryMorrisAPRN Related Links for Host: https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link W-FiT: Friendship is Therapy: https://www.facebook.com/groups/358124516034928/ www.http://MazaratiSolutions.com Krystal R Marazzi, Financial Advisor | Edward Jones www.https://HouseofKawasaki,Kymco,&VanderhallofOklahomaCity If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!

Comparison can be an #addicitve & a #gateway to more issues such as #negative #selftalk. #Competition can be healthy, but it can also lead to #comparative #suferring. Not everyone's #journey looks the same.  With comparison, we are always attempting to 'measure up' to the most influential person in the room as a child, & that doesn't just magically stop when you move out as an adult. We are constantly feeling less than & #unworthy.   Step 1: Be aware & cognitive that you are in Comparison mode. Step2: Accept the thoughts for what they are. When you realize that negative self-talk is creating #selfdoubt in your abilities, ask yourself WHY these feelings & thoughts are arising. Do you hear the words IN YOUR VOICE? OR IN SOMEONE ELSES. I know for me, if I stop & REALLY listen to the voice in a #mindful way, it's not usually my voice, but it's one of a few that I will recognize. That is one way to identify that these thoughts are not mine & they do not belong to me. Step 3: To do what's been done we must do the opposite but in the same way to undo in the same capacity.   What does that even mean?   You have been feed the #poison of #negative #affrimations which #activated the thoughts that led to unpleasant actions. Therefore to undo what's been done we must walk backwards in the same path, replacing the negative words with #positive words. #reframing your thought process is a productive tool to have in your toolbelt of life. Step 4: Put your new tools to work. The project doesn't get built if we only own the tools. We have to USE these tools in a productive way to build the thing. And if you build it 'THEY' will come. They meaning positivity into your life. Meaning breaking the loop of negative self-talk & focusing on #Selflove.   Listen.  You only need to be you. You don't need to look like anyone but you. You don't need to act like anyone but you. You don't need anyone else's life but YOURS! YOU are #WORTHY YOU are #beautiful YOU are #Strong YOU are perfect just the way you are. You don't always have to 'measure up' to the most influential person in the room. It's ok to be just YOU!       #SheWolfofAllStreets    Related Links  Mazarati Solutions Inc  Krystal R Marazzi, Financial Advisor | Edward Jones House of Kawasaki - New & Used Motorcycles, UTVs, ATVs, Sales, Service, and Parts in Oklahoma City, OK, near Norman, Shawnee, Hinton and Stillwater https://linqapp.com/krystal_marazzi?r=link If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!  Call/Text (803) 868-2633 Email:  [email protected] FB & FB Messenger: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552693794521 Until next time- Stay grounded, but if you find yourself floating among the stars, shine brightly.  Amazon Music/Audible Audacy Deezer Gaana iHeartRadio JioSaavn Libsyn Classic Feed Network App Listing Player.fm Podcast Page

#Intuition #decision making is a process or practice that grows like a muscle. Once you trust it, it continues to get easier to #trust that "feeling", that voice in your head.      Sometimes we ignore that voice because of #past experiences, maybe we have made a past decision that didn't feel like it worked out at that time, and we lost faith in our abilities to believe we know what's best.      So instead of insisting that I always follow my intuition & punish us when we don't, we can enable a practice to focus on observing the resistance to making intuitive decisions, without judgment.    That's #growth.    Letting go of the #obsession of #perfection & leaning into the learning of why we make certain decisions, against our better #judgment, helps us transform into the person we were meant to be.      Presence is a choice & leads to wholeness.   This podcast focuses on how & why we make the choices we do, & how to let go of the obstruction of trusting our intuition.    Krys Marazzi & Tina Curtis #SheWolfofAllStreets & #YourHomeGirl

"Scars are tattoos with better stories." If we normalize and acknowledge the feelings of #pain, #anxiety, #depression, & #sadness then maybe we can discuss it in a normal fashion. Maybe people hurting will feel less shame & guilt...and not pile it on top of already heavy & unwanted feelings. Behind some of the largest personalities hide the darkest feelings. Make your space a space where people feel welcome for expression.   #Traumas & #Triggers Oh our beautiful unavoidable baggage we carry like accessories. Do you show them off like a new designer purse or shove them as far deep as you can in your backpack of shadows? Either way you're carrying them with you daily -like a collection- & it gets heavy. We don't even get big muscles to show from the sweat of our brow.   But guess what... we don't HAVE to carry it around. We can drop our luggage anywhere we see fit. Our lives are not lived in the airport-where if we choose to leave our bag behind we could be asking for trouble. In fact it's the opposite-the world kindly asks you to leave it behind & yet we CHOOSE to pick it up daily. Unpacking the bag & trashing what we no longer need is productive & yet more difficult than it should be.   All trauma is an experience no matter what label that you slap on it good- bad- ugly- beautiful- sad- & indifferent.... I think as we become older we start feeling #guilt & #shame because of how we view are past. We've told our story to others & we've heard "you should just move on/get over it or it probably wasn't as bad as it seems..."   First you need to understand that your feelings are valid. It's OK to feel what you feel without believing. It makes you less than or attaching a false belief to it.   Then we find ourselves isolated because we feel like no one understands & then we look up & we're lonely. Loneliness is an echo of an old wound that you reopen into self-pity. Once we understand that we have to have darkness to appreciate the light, then we can really dig into that darkness, to understand the unknown that lies in its depths. We don't have to hide our darkness but harness it into the reality- Appreciate it for what it is & the lessons that you've learned from it.   Tips to Help with Trauma Recovery: Talk with others about how you feel. Don't isolate yourself. Calm yourself. Try meditation or deep breathing exercises. Do physical activity, like walking or yoga. Take care of yourself. Get plenty of sleep. Eat a healthy diet. Drink enough water. Avoid using alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Get back to your daily routine. Do the things you would normally do, even if you don't feel like it. Get involved in your community. Volunteering is a great way to create a sense of meaning. Get help if symptoms persist. Talk with a mental health professional.(If you need help connecting to one, I would be more than happy to give you a referral that fits your goals & budget.) If you're trying to help a friend, listen and find out where they are in the coping process. Try to accept their feelings and help in any way you can. You do not have to carry this burden alone.   You are worthy of healing. You are not alone. The most difficult step is the first one & that's picking up the phone.   The Poetry Pen's FB Page:  http://www.facebook.com/poetrypen967   Previous Mental Health Episodes:  Untamed Psyche: Scars in our Reflection become our Protection by She-Wolf of All Street & Your Home Girl on Apple Podcasts   Untamed Psyche: 2024: Ep 8 Protection from Pain w/ Brian Paul Veterans for Life, She-Wolf of all Streets & Your Home Girl on Apple Podcasts   Untamed Psyche: 2024: Ep 9 Mastering Mental Madness" She-Wolf of All Street & Your Home Girl on Apple Podcasts   Are you struggling with #mentalhealth?  Call: 988   988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline | SAMHSA If you have a topic you want us to discuss contact us!  Call/Text (803) 868-2633 Email:  [email protected] FB & FB Messenger: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552693794521 Until next time- Stay grounded, but if you find yourself floating among the stars, shine brightly.
