That revelation became the Voice of the Heart, a multi-generational franchise of books and tools built around a powerful metaphor for human growth — designed to expose the invisible war against human fulfillment and equip people to reclaim their purpose, peace, and passion

Lin Green

Author, Consultant & Speaker Helping Individuals and Communities Rise with Intention

I’m Lin Green — an award-winning community advocate, columnist, author, speaker, and business and nonprofit consultant. My work sits where real life meets real growth: helping people and organizations turn hard stories into healing, purpose, and impact.

I didn’t start out with a polished plan — I started out with a strong willed Matriarch of a Mother. And oh boy, did she give me material. My memoir, Enough with the Secrets, Mama!, is about the messy, hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive journey of trying to survive a complicated mother-daughter relationship while breaking generational patterns most of us would rather ignore. Part immigrant family story, part self-help disguised as memoir, and part “please tell me I’m not the only one,” the book takes readers from cultural shifts and childhood chaos to the moment when you decide you’re done waiting for permission — and give yourself grace instead.

This lived experience fuels everything I do. From serving on community task forces to empowering nonprofit leaders, I blend real-world strategy with heart — helping audiences laugh, reflect, and do something with what they feel. Podcast hosts book me because I bring depth without dryness, vulnerability without self-pity, and practical insight that meets listeners where they are — whether they’re navigating forgiveness, leadership, or legacy.

Christopher Rivers

The Real Story Behind You Shouldn’t Have to Kill to Get Ahead — and How We Rebuild the American Dream

I grew up in a working‑class family that did everything right but still struggled to get ahead. At seventeen, I enlisted in the Army and went on to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan. After my first deployment, I earned my degree from West Point, returned to serve again, and later completed graduate studies at Georgetown.

Across those years — from combat zones to diplomatic work to corporate strategy — I kept seeing the same pattern: people working hard, playing by the rules, and still feeling like the system wasn’t built for them. That realization pushed me to run for state office, where I knocked on nine thousand doors and heard those stories firsthand.

My book, You Shouldn’t Have to Kill to Get Ahead, is the result of that journey. It blends lived experience with clear, accessible insights about leadership, belonging, and what it will take to rebuild trust and opportunity in America.

Hosts bring me on because I make complex issues human and hopeful. I don’t do partisan fights — I bring clarity, honesty, and a grounded perspective that helps audiences feel seen and empowered. If your listeners are hungry for a conversation that cuts through the noise and actually means something, I’m here for it.

Sophie Malahieude

Emotional Balance Coach & Author of Beyond Emotions: From Overwhelm to Intentional Love

I’m Sophie Malahieude, an Emotional Balance Coach, Yoga and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant, certified Life Coach, and author of the self-help book Beyond Emotions: Stop Letting Emotions Control You and Start Living with Love.

My path into this work didn’t begin with a career plan. It began with movement, curiosity, and a deep need to understand myself.

I was born and raised in France, then moved to Germany as an adult. In 1997, I walked into my first yoga class without speaking the language. Yet something in me immediately understood what was happening. Yoga became a place where I felt at home and listened inward. It wasn’t just exercise—it was a doorway to understanding how my mind functions. Over time, yoga became my anchor, a practice that taught me how to stay with myself through discomfort, change, and uncertainty.

In 2003, my family and I moved to the United States. With that move came another reinvention. I felt called to go deeper into the practices that had already changed my life, and I decided to become a yoga teacher and later an Ayurvedic practitioner.

For me, yoga is the art of coming home to yourself. It is a living philosophy that teaches us how to observe the mind, feel the body, regulate the nervous system, and cultivate awareness in everyday life. It is not about perfect poses—it is about learning how to be in a relationship with yourself.

Ayurveda added another essential layer. It helped me understand the unique nature of each person and how emotions, digestion, lifestyle, seasons, and daily habits shape our physical and mental health. Ayurveda showed me that symptoms are not random; they are messages. That the body is always communicating with us, and that healing happens when we learn to listen.

With each international move, I had to rebuild my life—new culture, new community, new identity. Along the way, I became a mother, raised two children, and, like many caregivers, spent years prioritizing others while setting parts of myself aside.
