What an amazing first season of Brave Conversations! I got to have conversations with some of the most phenomenal women. On this episode our co-producer Jenn Pfahlert and I break down a few of our take-ways. One thing that everyone I spoke to had in common is that they each were resilient and courageous in every area of life. 

Jenn and I had so much fun looking back on these stories while being inspired in our own life. I hope that you will enjoy this episode and go back and listen to the past episodes. You will walk away with the tools, encouragement, and inspiration to end this year strong and look forward with hope for the coming year.

I want to thank David and Jenn Pfahlert of Silent Stream Media for making our first season amazing! 

Be on the lookout for their newest project, Launch Box, coming soon to Fort Worth, Texas. Launch Box is a Creators Community Center and Entrepreneur hub. Follow on Instagram for all the updates.

You might recognize our latest podcast guest as one of the incredible hosts for @nbctexastoday . Although she has an extremely accomplished career in the TV-news industry, Kristin felt that there was more exploration to her faith that needed to be uncovered. Her and her husband started a storytelling faith walk by backpacking the 500-mile Camino de Santiago in Spain. On this journey, Kristin was led through a transformation physically, mentally, and spiritually. Kristen details her journey in her new book, My journey back to God.

Kelli Calabrese found herself anxious and lost after her divorce. Like so many, she felt like her life had been turned upside down. After searching for support resources with no luck, Kelli decided to carve a new path for herself and help others to do the same. Kelli founded Intentionally Fabulous, a coaching program for women needing support during any stage of separation and divorce. Her passion for empowering other women to find their joy in the midst of hardship is truly inspiring.

Today's podcast is one that you don’t want to miss! I recently met Amanda May, and instantly loved her. She has an incredible story of fortitude and resilience. Amanda felt a call from God to leave her life in a small town in Ohio, and move to sin city, Las Vegas. As a single mom she traveled across the country with her 2-year-old son and her dog. Amanda is a model and Beauty Boss, working in the beauty industry that I love, and is leaving her mark in so many ways. She is a former HSN guest and a national trainer for America's top beauty brands. She has dedicated two decades to inspiring women to do the things that inspire them with a rarely discussed perspective on the marriage of inner and outer beauty. She and her boyfriend Chaun Williams have now launched Pays to be clean podcast. Of course, all of the good stuff we found on the journey along the way.

If you know me, you know I love a good local coffee shop. Black Coffee FW is one of my absolute favorites! Not only for their amazing coffee, but also for the inspiring story behind the brand. The founder of Black Coffee, Mia Moss, is a Fort Worth native that learned the value of local business within a community that she loves. Mia has built her business on the East side of Fort Worth, in the hopes of continuing to provide a local hangout for people to come together. Her heart for serving others through community and coffee is a wonderful reminder of the power of supporting local businesses.

When I decided to start a podcast all about BRAVE women sharing their stories, I knew I had to ask my great friend and Brave Gathering 2022 speaker Staci Danford Staci is a CEO, Mom, TedX speaker, and gratitude expert!  With a master's degree in Mind, Brain & Education, Staci teaches others how to understand brain patterns and how they can make practical, scientific changes in their lives to improve their relationships, businesses, and habits. My favorite part of Staci's story is how she came to find this passion for gratitude later in life and learned how to rewrite her own story.

You can hear more from Staci at The Brave Gathering Oct 21st & 22nd In Fort Worth, Texas. Enjoy $10 off with promo code BRAVE1
