Summary

In this special BONUS episode "Live from the Green Room: When Community Comes Alive," Angel Holmes takes you behind the scenes immediately after an incredible Brighter Side Society Sip & Strategize event at Starlight Motor Inn in Park Circle. Recorded live from the venue's green room, Angel brings together special guests Angela Michelle (singer and social media maven), Coach Dia (fitness instructor and line dancing leader), friend Colleen, and husband Brian for raw, unfiltered reflections on what just happened. From line dancing that got everyone moving to a powerful prayer circle with the band, this episode captures the authentic magic that occurs when ambitious women gather without the "stuffy networking" vibe. Angela shares her dreams of performing while building Magnolia South Creative, Coach Dia reveals her vision of teaching fitness around the world, and Brian offers his unique perspective as "the only guy there" on how women create community differently. The conversation celebrates breaking down walls, showing up even when you don't know anyone, and the power of creating spaces where women can be their authentic selves while building real business relationships. This bonus episode proves that community isn't just about networking—it's about connection, celebration, and making every day "the best day ever."
