What does courage look like at 30,000 feet? ✈️

In this Power Wednesday episode of Be Your Empowered Self, Deb sits down with Captain Charlene Ferguson — a commercial pilot and coach who has spent over three decades navigating the skies in a career that’s long been male-dominated.

Charlene shares what it really takes to rise with calm courage, lead with confidence, and stay grounded under pressure — not just in the cockpit, but in life. From her early beginnings in aviation to her growing work coaching women in male-dominated careers, this conversation is a powerful reminder that courage doesn’t always roar… sometimes it’s steady, quiet, and deeply rooted.

If you’ve ever felt called to grow into a stronger version of yourself — in your career, your leadership, or your next brave step — this episode will leave you feeling empowered to trust your voice, own your space, and rise.

In this episode, we explore:

​Calm courage vs. loud confidence

​Finding your voice in tough environments

​Leadership, resilience, and self-trust

​What it means to truly be your empowered self

If you’re feeling the dip right now…

the wobble…

the “maybe I can’t do this” feeling…

You’re not broken.

You’ve just arrived at the part of January where most people quit.

By week three of January, motivation fades and real life gets loud — and that’s exactly where most people quit.

In this Power Wednesday episode, Deb talks about The January Dip (the quit point many people hit around January 18) and how to build a foundation instead of disappearing in the crack. You’ll get a quick mindfulness reset, three truth-filled life lessons, five empowered takeaways, a simple science point, and one clear action formula you can use immediately.

This isn’t hype. It’s a steady reset — so you can keep going with courage, clarity, and self-trust.

Hello Everyone

Episode theme: “Still Possible” –

Title idea:

Still Possible: When Your Action Becomes the Evidence

Description:

On a bright winter morning, looking out over a yard of frozen snow, I realized something honest: this season is not my cup of tea—but this life is still mine to live.

In today’s episode of Be Your Empowered Self, I’m talking about what it really means to believe something is still possible in your second chapter. Not in the motivational-poster way, but in the real way—when you’re tired, unsure, and staring at a life that hasn’t fully caught up to your dreams yet.

We’ll explore:

• why “possible” is not a mood but a decision

• how to use action as your proof instead of waiting to feel ready

• what to do when the season you’re in isn’t the one you would’ve chosen

• gentle steps to reclaim your voice, worth, and purpose right where you are

This is your reminder that even if the ground feels frozen, your life is not done growing.
