May 11, 2023 07:30 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

Alara Vural is 1/2 Turkish, 1/2 British and 100% delightful. I’d listen to her read the phone book. She’s missing her calling as a voiceover artist! We talk housework (she hates it), her local pub (she adores it) and marketing messaging (her SUPERPOWER). Then we talk about God, the Universal Spirit and connecting with all that. WOW!!! It’s a LOT Y’ALL!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 20, 2023 07:30 - 1 hour - 58.3 MB

March 30, 2023 07:30 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MB

Marisa Wheeling Ciesluk: Fire Starter

March 02, 2023 08:30 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MB

Marisa Wheeling Ciesluk could have been insulted when her boss called her a “fire starter.” It probably was not meant as a complement. Now she has taken it as a badge of honor and her unique mission: to stoke the fires of true passion in the hearts of women.

February 16, 2023 08:30 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MB

My fellow Squad Members kept stopping me at the GRAB LIFE BY THE GOALS SUMMIT kicking off the New Year and saying, “You’ve GOT to talk to Alina Doran!” So I did! And I was suitably impressed. We’d known each other for two days before I learned that A) she survived a thyroid cancer scare and B) she immigrated from Kyiv where she lived as a girl during the infamous Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

January 19, 2023 08:30 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MB

Betsy Hauser (HOO-zur) knows what it’s like to be passed over in the hyper-masculine world of tech just because she’s a woman. She stuck around to found and run her own company TTS - Tech Talent and Strategies - and to lead programs that taught thousands of women to code. She believes coding should be taught alongside any other language in school. And she’s living proof that more diverse companies are more nimble and creative companies. We talk in her parents' home with 270 degree views of L...

Cheryl Brayboy: The Only Black Kid In Her Elementary School

January 12, 2023 14:53 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MB

Cheryl Brayboy is no typical TV anchor at WBTV. She went to an Ivy League School (U. Penn). She has a Ph. D. She attended one HBCU (Spelman College) and now teaches at another (Johnson C. Smith University). We talk bluntly about race, slave narratives (about which she is well-versed) and pathways to racial healing - oh, and also about why she never dated a white boy in her almost all-white high school.

December 29, 2022 08:30 - 1 hour - 58.4 MB

Kelly Finley came highly recommended by one of our most powerful podcast guests ever - USMC veteran Erin Cobb, who survived two gunshots to the head from her ex-husband. Kelly taught Erin Women’s Studies at UNCC, but there’s some question of just who taught who more. The two have become fast friends and mutual admirers. When Erin was lying in a hospital bed fighting for life, Kelly Finley was there. To say they are friends doesn’t do justice to the relationship. But this interview is about K...

December 01, 2022 08:30 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MB

Zoomers?) - who just find life without booze to be liberating and a whole lot easier. Stuart and Molly venture way beyond the outdated either/or of partiers vs. puritans to wander around in the “grey zone.” An illuminating conversation between a boomer man (Stu) and a millennial woman ...

My friend Mar lives on the left coast in Washington state and survived an anti-semitic shooting rampage. It changed Mar. They now work for peace among all people.

But I’m a huge fan of Mar and we’ve learned from each other. I think you’ll be inspired as well. Mar invites you to listen to their podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4YYURVCddlb0Z8h...

Erin Cobb

November 17, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MB

USMC Iraq War Vet Erin Cobb can still describe the admirable qualities of the man who shot her twice in the head.

It’s a compelling story of a complex and courageous woman who e...

Erin Cobb.

November 10, 2022 08:30 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

Erin Cobb survived Iraq only to be shot twice in the head by her ex - also a US Marine she met in the war zone. She survived. Her ex shot himself and died.

Eileen Carpenter registered Black voters in Mississippi. She could have been murdered for it.

October 27, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

Eileen Carpenter’s epiphany came when she heard a Southern Belle at Vanderbilt bragging about her horse. She did the math. The animal was worth more than her parents’ house. And her parents were both college educated professionals. They worked at a university. But Eileen and her parents were Black and living in Nashville in the 1960’s.      Eileen’s experience at Vanderbilt University was so painful she did not return for more than two decades. She went back, she says, to face down the ghos...

Amy Kurland founded the legendary Blue Bird Cafe

October 20, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 55.4 MB

I met Amy Kurland’s sister Wendy before I ever knew her. But I’ve known Amy for well over a quarter century. Nashville music people are as open and giving and generous and humble as bi-coastal superstars are….not. I generalize. I’d love to be proven wrong. We talk about her father playing string parts for Patsy Cline, her watching Johnny Cash up close taping his TV show, as well as Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, and my personal crushes, Marshall Chapman and Mary Gauthier. In short, a name dropp...

Tiffany painted her nails and prepped enough pills to kill herself. The Universe intervened.

October 13, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 55.1 MB

Tiffany Carter’s mother dressed her in a hot pink micro-miniskirt and sent her on a date with a 23-year old man. She was 11. Thus began a decade of hellish sexual abuse.  As an adult, Tiffany had all the trappings of success. She kept it together on TV, at five star restaurants, on private jets and in multi-million dollar mansions. Beneath the facade, she plotted suicide.  This is the miraculous story of how The Universe intervened and slowly, surely, with the help of many, many people, Ti...

From Rob to Robbi

September 15, 2022 07:30 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MB

I knew Robbi when she was Rob and her pronouns were “he” and “him.” Now he wears heels and occasionally dresses “to the nines” for clubbing on Saturday night in downtown Charleston or church on Sunday morning. As a job, she drives a truck. So she says truck stops can be tricky for trans people. We get personal - like how her wife and son reacted when Rob became Robbi - and how 12 step recovery groups welcomed her.

As a licensed therapist she points out that PTSD is the one disorder directly associated with substance use disorder (aka addiction).

August 18, 2022 07:30 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

Bryant Resch got one degree studying neuroscience. Then she started on another degree in biology. She was on her way to a Masters when her parents abruptly divorced. The shock sent her down a completely new path - Reki.

Tidy Tessi worked for the man until she became her own brand

August 11, 2022 07:30 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

Years ago I would chat with Tessi at the Einstein Brothers bagel shop on South Boulevard in Charlotte. After decades of working for the man, she became her own woman. Her daughter encouraged her to become her own brand “Tidy Tessi,” like the also alliterative “Molly Maids” but she’s local, original, real and personable. Tessi talks about the loss of her son to a gunshot and how she was able to go on for her four other children.  Now Tessi has come a long way to be “happier than ever.” A rea...

Kelly Turner, a cancer survivor, pays it forward with her own charity

July 28, 2022 07:30 - 48 minutes - 44 MB

When New Haven, CT police woman Kelly Turner was first diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, it wasn’t just cops who stepped up to support her. It wasn’t just her church or her friends. It was complete strangers. The outpouring of support blew her away. So when she got back on her feet, she vowed to pay it forward.

July 07, 2022 07:30 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MB

Caroline Noble’s husband had both pancreatic cancer and Alzheimer’s. So in a cruel joke, she had to repeatedly tell him he was dying… over and over again.
