Beverly Explains It All

The holidays are supposed to feel magical… but let’s be real, they can also feel messy, emotional, overwhelming, and like one big, nonstop to-do list. In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and returning guest, the fabulous Tara Wiskow — intuitive energy healer and life reinvention expert — to help us navigate all of it with more grace, intention, and peace.

Together, we dive into the real stuff women don’t always talk about out loud:
 • How to slow down when everything feels urgent
 • Using intuition and energy practices to stay grounded
 • Navigating grief, loneliness, and big feelings during the holidays
 • Setting boundaries with family (without the guilt spiral)
 • Letting go of old roles, expectations, and traditions that no longer fit
 • Making gift-giving meaningful instead of stressful
 • Shifting into a calmer, more grateful mindset as we wrap up the year
 • And one simple “gratitude over grind” move you can try today

Tara also shares a little about her own journey, her work helping women break emotional patterns, and the small rituals that make a big difference this time of year.

If the holidays bring up all the feelings for you — this is your grounding, cozy, breathe-deep episode.

I’m back, y’all — and so much has happened! 

This year kicked off with me working on the adorable Disney show Vampirina, standing in for the hilarious Kim Coles. Then Andre and I took the trip of a lifetime to Fiji — beaches, mud pools, stunning temples, and all the island vibes.

We also road-tripped up the East Coast to honor my dad’s roots, eat all the Southern comfort food, and enjoy real family time. And the biggest news? We finally got a pug! Sir Pugsly Pugsworth is the cutest little manifestation ever and somehow turned me into a pet influencer.

I’m also stepping into a new chapter as a Certified Empowerment Coach, learning to set boundaries, slow down, and show up more authentically. 

Get ready — holiday episodes, real talk, and inspiring guests are coming your way!

This week on Beverly Explains It All, we’re talking about what it really means to get unstuck, embrace reinvention, and live life on your own runway—with the fabulous Kerry Damiano!

Kerry is the ultimate glam globe-trotter—the creator, writer, and host of her own travel and lifestyle series, Ms. World Traveler, where she’s shared her adventures across 130+ countries and all 50 states. But her journey isn’t just about passports and pageants—it’s about purpose, pivots, and finding the courage to evolve at every stage of life.

With over 40 years in the pageant world and countless crowns to her name (including Best Pageant Coach, Best Sponsor, and a Legacy Award winner), Kerry opens up about how the world of pageantry gave her the tools to reinvent herself—and how you can too. Now, she helps women unlock confidence through travel, style, public speaking, faith, and personal expression.

In this empowering conversation, we dive into:
 💫 How to get unstuck by shifting your environment and your mindset
🌍 Why travel is one of the best tools for self-discovery and reinvention
👠 The surprising life lessons learned from pageantry (spoiler: it’s not just about the sash)
🧳 How to pack confidence, purpose, and glam into every season of life

Whether you’re feeling stuck in routine, unsure of your next step, or craving more adventure in your life—this episode will light a spark in you. Kerry proves that it’s never too late to rediscover your purpose and create a life that feels like YOURS.

In this powerful episode of Beverly Explains It All, we’re having a deeply honest conversation about shame, healing, and what it really takes to come home to yourself. My guest—a former TV anchor, Leslie Draffin,  who looked “perfect” on the outside—opens up about living with a secret diagnosis, battling anxiety, disconnection, and the pressure to hold it all together.

Through vulnerability, spiritual exploration, and radical self-reclamation, she found her way back to her body, her voice, and her purpose. Now, she helps women over 30 release shame, reconnect with their feminine power, and remember who they truly are.

We talk about:

• Healing beyond talk therapy
• Why pleasure is a powerful path to transformation
• Rewriting your story after hitting rock bottom
• Tuning into your body as a guide to your truth

If you've ever felt stuck, unworthy, or disconnected from yourself — this episode is your permission slip to start again, powerfully and authentically.

What if the life you want is waiting for you on the other side of your comfort zone — or even a passport stamp?

In this episode of Beverly Explains It All, I sit down with Tarsha Richardson, founder of Black Travelers International, who helps women (and men!) overcome the fears and barriers that often hold them back from international travel. While she primarily serves mature Black women professionals, Tarsha welcomes clients of all backgrounds and races — creating thoughtfully curated travel experiences for everyone seeking deeper cultural connections and personal growth.

We dive into what "luxury" really means (hint: it's different for everyone), and how Tarsha designs experiences that support both bold adventurers and introverted souls who want to recharge while exploring the world. From cultural education to safety guidance and everything in between, this episode is all about expanding your world — literally and figuratively.

Hey, Questioning Collective!

Ever feel like you're doing everything right in your business — working hard, staying focused, following all the expert advice — and still not seeing the success you want? You're not alone, and this episode will help you shift that.

On this episode of Beverly Explains It All, I sit down with business coach and entrepreneur Liz Wolfe, who’s been helping people get unstuck and grow thriving, abundant businesses for over 25 years. Liz shares her unique path — from growing up on a sheep farm in Western Pennsylvania to building a coaching business in NYC — and the lessons she learned the hard way about what really creates success.

We dive into her powerful three-part coaching system: A Clear Vision + Purposeful Action – Hidden Barriers = Breakthrough Results. Liz explains why mindset shifts like learning to ask powerfully, give wholeheartedly, and receive graciously are often the missing pieces for entrepreneurs who are stuck or spinning their wheels.

You’ll also hear how Liz helps women move past self-doubt, money blocks, and burnout by reconnecting to their purpose and building a business that aligns with their values. Whether you’re launching your first side hustle or trying to grow a business that’s lost its spark, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to take action.
