When attention is conditioned by performance and noise, perseverance and patience are easy to miss. That blindness is not your burden to carry. The right people ask your story, learn your situation, and align with your intention. They add to your work rather than extract from it. 

SistahGirll, my prayer for you today is that you release the exhaustion of performing just to feel seen. You don’t have to decorate your pain or raise your volume to matter. Quiet strength is still strength. Choose rooms, spaces, and fields that recognize your value and not only your usefulness. Whether your field is a career, a home, a business, or a calling still forming, there are people already making room for you. Take one degree forward today: lead with vision, hold onto hope, act with intention, and let love fuel each step.

I pray that the roots of setbacks, storms, satanic attacks, and even self-sabotage erode, crumble, and wither away, to be replaced by the incorruptible strength, peace, and joy that only heaven can give that will neither change nor fade.

What if the most powerful growth starts with being fully, quietly yourself?  Honor who you are, evolve when love calls you higher, and keep moving one degree at a time.

We break down seven gateways that turn intention into action: see with intention, listen for truth, speak life, move with purpose, walk in wisdom, think with clarity, and live from love. Each gateway is practical and soulful, woven with examples you can apply daily—filtering what you hear, choosing words that heal, aligning actions with values, and releasing patterns that keep you small. Along the way, we talk about balancing independence with softness, how to pursue big dreams without losing your core, and why purpose grows stronger when you stop chasing validation.

Growth doesn’t happen in isolation, so we invite you to build it in community. Find an accountability partner, share the gateway you’re practicing, and reflect together on the shifts you notice in mindset, choices, and relationships. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progression—purposeful steps that compound into a life that fits your season and serves the people you love. If this conversation sparks something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review to help more listeners find One Degree to Victory.

A simple 5 a.m. DM changed everything. What looked like a random question about my parents turned into the most joyful reunion with my childhood friend after decades apart—and a living picture of how restoration finds us when we’re willing to search with an open heart.

 In this heartfelt conversation, One Degree to Victory sits down with Natalie Bedard of Lift OneSelf to unpack the subtle ways trauma shapes our nervous systems and everyday behaviors. We explore how protection can disguise itself as avoidance, and how true healing begins when we create space to feel what was once too overwhelming.
If you’ve ever wondered why certain emotions feel unsafe or why quieting your mind feels impossible, this episode will help you reconnect, reframe, and return home to yourself.

Some moments don’t just knock on the door—they fling it wide and ask who you’re willing to become. I share how an unexpected path—from classroom to 18-wheeler to the podcast mic—taught me to treat disruption as an invitation to alignment, innovation, and a life that actually fits. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real process of carrying your core values into new spaces, mapping meaning onto unfamiliar roads, and turning detours into directions.

We start by reframing disruption: not as punishment, but as a sacred summons to a truer version of you. I walk through the shift from chasing success to following alignment, and how “making the road my classroom” kept my identity intact while everything else changed. You’ll hear the family adventures, the safety instincts honed in small towns, and the unexpected joys of learning in motion—plus the moment I stopped asking for permission and started listening for purpose.

Then we break down the traits of an innovative life. Innovation as novelty: the most original work you’ll ever do is the next version of yourself. Innovation as value: your story is a living message, and someone needs it. Innovation as creative problem solving: momentum beats paralysis, especially in crisis. And innovation as implementation and process: consistent, imperfect action turns invitations into impact. Along the way, we name the power of sisterhood—women who refuse isolation and choose to build in public with love, hope, and vision.

If you’re standing at a threshold, this is your nudge to show up fully—gift in hand, heart open, ready to receive what’s been prepared for you. Progress, not perfection, is the way forward. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs courage today, and leave a review with the one bold “yes” you’re claiming this week.

A ziplock bag of batter doesn’t look like a life lesson—until you watch it rise. We open with the humble ritual of friendship bread and use it as a map for personal growth: how inner strength ferments under warmth and time, how community multiplies courage, and why sharing your “starter” can nourish more than just you. 

If you’ve been waiting on perfect conditions, consider this your nudge. You’ve already survived 100% of your setbacks; that’s not luck, that’s proof. Feed your inner starter with small, purposeful actions, turn up the volume on voices that call you higher, and keep a steady conversation with God as you move. Then share what grows—because your rise will lift others too. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs strength today, and leave a review so more people can find their next one-degree step.

When someone calls your name, what is awakened?

In this episode, I share two stories—one from a nightclub in my twenties and another from a heated professional moment—that taught me the unexpected power of names and titles. Beyond labels or status, the names we carry tether us back to integrity, responsibility, and purpose.

We live in a culture that says, “just be yourself.” But often, that phrase masks survival mode, compromise, or going along to get along. What I’ve learned is that integrity—and the vision of who you’re becoming—matters more than appearances.

This conversation will invite you to:

• Reconsider how you carry yourself outside of work and titles
• Recognize the weight and responsibility your name holds
• Reflect on what vision of yourself you’re living into
• Embrace the legacy you’re building through integrity

So the question is: when your name is called—whether in the middle of noise, chaos, or conflict—how will you respond?

Walk away with practical reflection prompts and a steady framework: vision to set direction, hope to believe it’s possible, action to make it real, and love to fuel every step. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge toward purpose, and leave a review to tell us: which name pulls you back to center when life gets loud?

Have you ever wondered who you are beneath the roles, masks, and survival mode? In this episode, I take you on a journey from my own story—teaching, truck driving, and the thread of advocacy that ties it all together—into a conversation about vision, courage, and authentic purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck living paycheck to paycheck or wondered what life could look like beyond the trauma, this is your invitation to imagine more. We’ll talk about why a five-year plan isn’t just for students—it’s a lifeline for women who are ready to break cycles, dream beyond their circumstances, and build a future aligned with who they really are at their core.

This episode will resonate especially with women navigating the weight of starting over. If you’ve been asking yourself, “Where do I go from here?”—this conversation is for you.
