  • Healing Trauma: A Conversation with June Hill on Mental Wellness and Community Impact

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when personal trauma transforms into community healing? June Hill's story offers a powerful blueprint for turning pain into purpose.

    June Hill never planned to become a behavioral health advocate. But after surviving domestic violence and founding A Dream Foundation Center in 2018, she discovered layers of generational patterns in her own life that needed addressing – from alcoholism recovery to breaking the cycle of teen pregnancy. This realization shaped her organization's holistic approach to healing, which now serves diverse communities with trauma-informed care.

    "We help people become whole in whatever way they see fit," June explains, describing how her foundation bridges the gap between mental wellness and real-life resilience. Through clinical counseling, life coaching, support groups, and entrepreneurial mentorship, A Dream Foundation Center creates judgment-free spaces where clients can be vulnerable about their challenges, whether they're high-earning professionals battling anxiety or individuals rebuilding after trauma.

    Breaking generational cycles emerges as the conversation's most powerful theme. June candidly shares how sometimes this means losing relationships with people who don't support your vision for change – something she experienced firsthand while maintaining her sobriety and guiding her daughter toward different choices than she had available. "It's okay if you would like to live your life like that, but I would like to live my life another way," she reflects on standing firm in her boundaries.

    What makes June's approach unique is how she prioritizes cultural competence through bilingual services, diverse staff, and an authentic understanding of community needs. The foundation particularly focuses on supporting BIPOC communities, women navigating mental health challenges, and entrepreneurs seeking stability. Success stories abound – from business owners who've tripled their income to parents returning to school and creating better futures for their families.

  • Breaking Free from Toxic Triangulation with Pamela Byrd

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever found yourself caught in a web of drama that seems impossible to escape? Do toxic relationships keep you from fulfilling your true potential? In this enlightening conversation, boundaries coach and author Pamela Beard unveils the hidden dynamics of triangulation—a pattern that traps countless people in cycles of emotional conflict.

    Pamela, author of "Triangulation: How to Break Free from Toxic Relationships," shares her expert insights on recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns and setting boundaries that honor your worth. She explains the critical difference between healthy boundaries (permeable fences with gates you control) and unhealthy ones (impenetrable walls that block both harm and good). This distinction alone provides a powerful framework for understanding why many of us struggle with relationships despite our best intentions.

    The conversation delves into the spiritual dimensions of boundary-setting, revealing how our internal decisions about what we will and won't accept create the foundation for external boundaries—those we communicate and enforce through action. Pamela doesn't shy away from challenging perspectives, noting that some people become comfortable in victimhood, preferring to complain rather than make the decisions necessary for change.

    Perhaps most powerfully, Pamela connects boundary-setting to our divine purpose, explaining that the enemy uses drama and triangulation to distract us from fulfilling our God-given potential. By recognizing these patterns and understanding that our battle isn't with people but with negative spiritual forces working through relationships, we gain clarity and compassion for addressing conflicts.

    Whether you're struggling with family dynamics, workplace relationships, or personal boundaries, this episode offers practical wisdom grounded in spiritual truth. Pamela's approach to journaling as a tool for connecting head and heart provides a tangible practice for developing self-awareness and making healthier choices. Join us to discover how breaking free from triangulation can open the door to living your purpose with clarity, peace, and joy.

  • Healing, Hope, and Homemade Cookies: Conversations with Dr. Kyri Mosey

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Kyri Mosley's journey from hospital beds to cookie sheets will leave you inspired and hungry for more. Diagnosed with stage four Ewing sarcoma in 2019 and told her treatment was "pretty inhumane," she not only survived but transformed her life's purpose. Today, she stands proudly as a "thriver" who turned personal trauma into sweet success.

    As the founder of Kyri's Cookies—named one of Oprah's favorites in 2023—Dr. Kyri brings something genuinely unique to the bakery world. Her cookies contain zero white flour or sugar, using only organic ingredients that she originally perfected while making bread for her children. At six ounces each (that's four standard cookies in one!), these treats don't just satisfy your sweet tooth—they revolutionize what a cookie can be.

    But there's so much more to Dr. Kyri than her delicious creations. With 34 years in healthcare and a PhD in psychology with a concentration in biblical counseling, she approaches business with the heart of a healer. Her virtual talk show "Dr. Kyri Listens" embodies her philosophy that "healing begins with being heard," creating space for trauma survivors to share their stories while finding community and understanding.

    What truly sets Dr. Kyri apart is her unwavering kindness. She shares a touching story about a 9-year-old boy who gave her a $20 tip simply because he recognized her authentic kindness—noting she didn't wear a "Be Kind" shirt like others who don't actually live those values. This moment captures the essence of her approach to both business and life: genuine care for others that transcends marketing and branding.

    Looking ahead, Dr. Kyri plans to expand her cookie empire while creating employment opportunities for people with special needs and those reentering society after incarceration. Her story reminds us that our greatest challenges can become our most powerful purpose when we lead with compassion and remain true to our values.

    Discover Dr. Kyri's Cookies at kairiscookies.com or connect with Dr. Kyri Listens on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to experience this powerful blend of healing and sweetness.

  • Bootstrapping Your Business: Jim Weldon on Customer-Driven Growth

    Send us Fan Mail

    What's the real difference between entrepreneurs who struggle and those who thrive? Jim Weldon, a dynamic entrepreneur who has co-founded six companies and built sales teams generating hundreds of millions in revenue, breaks it down with refreshing honesty on this episode of Ready Set Collaborate.

    Weldon introduces us to the concept of "professional entrepreneurship" – a sustainable approach that ensures founders get paid throughout their journey rather than sacrificing everything for a potential future payoff. With over 25 years of experience across multiple industries, he dismantles the glamorized myth of the struggling entrepreneur and offers a practical alternative that prioritizes customer-driven revenue over venture capital funding.

    The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Jim reveals his "leverage business development" approach that helped scale a business from nothing to $60 million in just 36 months without outside capital. Through asking three critical questions about customer access, his team discovered a powerful growth model that outperformed traditional partner programs. Whether you're bootstrapping a startup or scaling an established business, his insights on identifying the right market and value proposition will reshape how you think about growth.

    Perhaps most valuable is Weldon's perspective on AI implementation for today's businesses. Far from theoretical, he shares his company's journey from viewing AI as a novelty to integrating it as a core function that dramatically increases efficiency. His practical advice on testing tools and creating your own AI resource library provides an actionable roadmap for entrepreneurs looking to leverage this technology without getting lost in the hype.

  • Reflecting on a Journey of Growth, Faith, and Transformation with Wanda Pearson

    Send us Fan Mail

    Join me for a heartfelt reflection on the incredible journey of the Ready Set Collaborate podcast over the past year. This special solo episode peels back the curtain on my personal path from a childhood marked by abuse and being told I would amount to nothing, to becoming a three-time author with a fourth book on forgiveness in the works.

    The power of collaboration has transformed my life in ways I never imagined possible. From my first collaborative book "Audacity to Shine" to my personal memoir "God's Grace Through the Fire: From Struggle to Triumph," each step has reinforced that we should never limit what God has planned for us. I share vulnerably about how faith carried me through my darkest moments and built the confidence you now hear in my voice each week.

    We revisit some of the most impactful conversations from the past year – from Evie Fleming's holistic connection wisdom, Matt Dillingham's financial mindset revelations, and Dr. Calvin Ellison's insights on personal transformation and legacy-building. These aren't just interviews; they're part of a movement where strong, resilient individuals come together to have raw, real conversations about everything that matters. As we look toward the podcast's future, I invite you to share which episodes touched you most and consider joining me as a guest or sponsor. Remember, we're in this together – collaborating, elevating, and moving forward in our purpose.

  • The MAI Health Food Model with Davida Bostic: Sustainable Nutrition Without Strict Diets

    Send us Fan Mail

    Forget everything you think you know about healthy eating. Health coach Davida Bostic is revolutionizing nutrition with her MAI Health Food Model—a refreshingly practical approach that works for busy lives.

    Drawing from her unique childhood with a bodybuilding father who introduced her to everything from goat milk to tropical fruit oatmeal, Davida developed a philosophy that helps people transform their health without the guilt, deprivation, or complexity of traditional diets. Her method is brilliantly simple: Minimize, Alternate, and Integrate.

    What makes this approach different? It's rooted in understanding human psychology rather than just food science. As Davida explains, when we're told we "can't" have something, our natural response is often rebellion. Instead of rigid rules, the MAI method creates sustainable habits through gradual changes that feel empowering rather than restrictive.

    The conversation dives deep into the profound connection between sleep, stress, and food choices. Sleep quality directly impacts what your body naturally craves, while stress triggers unhealthy eating patterns. Understanding these relationships helps explain why willpower alone rarely leads to lasting change.

    Beyond just food, Davida introduces her "seven sovereign foods" framework—spirituality, nutrition, physical fitness, knowledge of self, community, environment, and emotional health—offering a holistic perspective on wellness that acknowledges eating habits don't exist in isolation.

    Whether you're struggling with sugar cravings, looking for budget-friendly whole food options, or simply tired of diet culture, this episode delivers practical wisdom you can implement immediately. Ready to transform your relationship with food without giving up what you love? This conversation is your first step.

  • The Path to Financial Peace with Lisa Stringer Bailey: Managing Money That Truly Matters

    Send us Fan Mail

    When Lisa Stringer Bailey lost her father and sister within months of each other—both without life insurance—she found herself in a financial crisis despite her career in the financial industry. This painful awakening became the catalyst for Triple M Money Management Matters, a mission to ensure others wouldn't face similar hardships.

    Lisa brings powerful insights from her master's degree in accounting and finance, nine years as a Navy procurement specialist, and 17 years in banking to this candid conversation about money management. She challenges common financial misconceptions with practical wisdom that balances everyday needs with long-term security.

    Beyond her compelling personal story, Lisa delivers actionable advice for every financial situation. She transforms intimidating "budgets" into approachable "money plans," advocates for high-yield savings accounts separate from checking accounts to prevent impulsive withdrawals, and provides clear guidance for small business owners struggling to separate personal and business finances.

    The conversation takes a meaningful turn when addressing family matters—how couples should discuss financial compatibility before marriage and the uncomfortable but necessary conversations we must have with aging parents about their end-of-life planning. Her biblically-based approach emphasizes preparation without fear, reminding us that proper financial management isn't just about current comfort but about creating legacy and security for those we love.

    Whether you're struggling with basic budgeting or looking to advance your investment strategy, Lisa's Financial Focus Framework offers a structured path to financial confidence. Her powerful question—"What would happen to your family if you didn't come home tonight?"—serves as both warning and motivation to take meaningful action today.

  • Health Revolution with Susan Weaver Guthrie: Natural Solutions for Everyday Wellness

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when a mother's desperate search for her son's health solutions leads to a 25-year wellness journey and eventually saves her own life? Susan Guthrie Weaver never intended to become a health advocate—she simply needed answers when her young son was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, OCD, and ADHD. The prescription medications he received only sedated him without addressing the root causes, pushing Susan to explore alternatives that would transform both their lives.

    The turning point came dramatically when Susan accidentally swallowed her son's prescription pills instead of her own supplements. After being bedridden for 24 hours, she made a profound decision: there had to be better options for her 70-pound child than medications that could debilitate a grown woman. This revelation launched her into the world of natural wellness solutions, beginning with magnetic therapy products that eliminated her chronic headaches and helped her son finally sleep through the night.

    Her commitment to natural health was tested again years later when a seemingly innocent attempt to get fit landed her in the hospital for nine days with rhabdomyolysis—her muscles breaking down and threatening her kidneys with a CPK level of 77,000 (normal is under 50). As doctors prepared her family for the worst, a friend brought alkaline water and a far-infrared blanket that produced such dramatic improvement that her nephrologist asked about "that magic water and blankie." That experience cemented her belief in natural approaches and eventually led her to Neolife, where she now helps others access affordable supplements, wellness products, and even discounted travel opportunities.

    Perhaps most compelling is Susan's candid sharing about her breast cancer diagnosis—invasive lobular carcinoma that mammograms had missed for 19 years before thermographic imaging caught it. Following her double mastectomy, she became even more determined to help others prioritize prevention through proper nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes. Today, she's excited about upcoming natural weight loss solutions that could provide alternatives to injectable medications with concerning side effects.

    Whether you're struggling with chronic health issues, caregiving for a loved one with special needs, or simply looking for affordable ways to optimize your wellness, Susan's practical approach makes natural health accessible to everyone.
