Sharing Passion and Purpose

Have you ever had someone stand in your corner—someone who saw something in you before you fully saw it in yourself?

That’s the heart behind today’s conversation.

I’m so excited to introduce you to Melissa Phenicie, founder of Balcony Women—a movement rooted in encouragement, connection, and the belief that we rise higher when we choose to stand in each other’s “balcony” instead of tearing each other down. And Melissa’s impact doesn’t stop with women.

She is also deeply passionate about supporting the next generation—encouraging both boys and girls to understand their value, use their voice, and grow into who they were created to be. Through her work, she’s helping shape not just confident women, but confident, grounded young people who know they matter.

You can find her at BalconyWomen.com.

How many dreams never get started because of one simple thought…

“I’m not ready.”

“Someone else is already doing it.”

“Maybe someday.”

In this episode, Nancy Moore sits down with Dr. Megan Weinkauf for a powerful conversation about overcoming the limiting beliefs that quietly hold so many women back.

These aren’t just thoughts—they’re the stories we tell ourselves that keep us playing small.

In this episode, we talk about how to recognize those patterns, challenge them, and take real steps toward what’s actually possible for your life, your work, and your purpose.

✨ Honest conversation

✨ Real-life examples

✨ The kind of perspective shift that stays with you

If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready”… this episode is for you.

You might hear exactly what you need to take your next step.

In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, Nancy Moore sits down with Dr. Jody Parsons, leadership expert, coach and author of The Field Guide to Leadership Coaching, to explore what it truly means to grow, not just as a leader, but as a person.

We dive into the reality that many leaders are promoted because they’re great at getting things done, but aren’t always equipped with the tools to lead people well. Dr. Parsons shares practical insights on how to shift from task-driven leadership to transformational leadership by asking better questions, developing others, and leading with intention.

They also talk about how our past experiences, especially working under ineffective leaders/managers, shape who we choose to become. Instead of repeating what didn’t work, we have the opportunity to lead differently.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating the space for growth, both in yourself and in others.

If you’re ready to expand your leadership capacity, challenge limiting beliefs, and lead with greater purpose, this episode is for you.

Success is rarely a solo journey. In this episode, host Nancy Moore, explores why community is one of the most powerful drivers of personal and professional growth.

When women come together to share ideas, encouragement, and honest conversations, something powerful happens—confidence grows, opportunities expand, and purpose becomes clearer.

We talk about why surrounding yourself with the right people matters, how community helps us overcome limiting beliefs, and why collaboration often opens doors that competition never could.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re navigating your career or calling alone, this episode is a reminder that the right room can change everything.

In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, host Nancy Moore sits down with Jenna Worthen, founder of Mom Who Works, to explore the powerful shift in how we think about motherhood, work, and purpose.

Jenna shares the story behind the moment that sparked her movement—an ordinary run in 2016 that turned into an extraordinary idea. Overwhelmed with the weight of expectations placed on women, Jenna began questioning the label “working mom.” What started as a simple shift in language soon grew into a powerful platform and community dedicated to helping women reclaim their identity, worth, and calling.

Through Mom Who Works, Jenna encourages women to rethink the narratives they’ve been given. Instead of trying to live up to impossible standards or comparing themselves to carefully curated images online, she invites moms to define their own version of “having it all.”

In this conversation, Jenna shares:

• Why the phrase “working mom” deserves to be reexamined

• How moms can let go of guilt and comparison in the age of social media

• Why community and support are essential for mothers navigating career and family

• The importance of defining your own version of success in every season of motherhood

• How pursuing purpose can positively impact both your family and your future

Jenna also opens up about integrating her work with motherhood, involving her children in her journey, and how faith, movement, and mentorship help keep her grounded as both a mom and entrepreneur.

This episode is a meaningful reminder that motherhood doesn’t limit purpose—it often clarifies it. Jenna’s message is both freeing and empowering: every woman has the right to define her own “all,” pursue her dreams, and know she is not alone in the journey.

If you’re a mom balancing work, dreams, family, and identity, this conversation will encourage you to embrace the path that is uniquely yours.

In this episode of Sharing Passion and Purpose, host Nancy Moore sits down with Amy Lacey, visionary founder of Califlour Foods and Living Beyond Medicine, the wellness brand behind Soursop.

Amy’s journey is a powerful example of what can happen when personal adversity becomes a catalyst for purpose. After facing serious health challenges, she made the life-changing decision to take ownership of her healing—starting in her own kitchen. What began as a simple commitment to clean, nourishing ingredients evolved into Califlour Foods, a nationally recognized brand that helped redefine how people think about food and wellness.

But Amy didn’t stop there. Her passion for helping others experience true healing led her to launch Living Beyond Medicine, where she continues her mission of empowering people to support their health naturally through powerful plant-based solutions like Soursop.

In this meaningful conversation, Amy shares:
• How her health crisis became the foundation for her purpose-driven business
• The courage it takes to trust your instincts and build something new
• What she learned scaling a nationally recognized food brand
• Why true wellness goes beyond food—and starts with listening to your body

Amy’s story is a reminder that our greatest challenges often reveal our deepest calling. Her journey will inspire anyone navigating uncertainty, prioritizing their health, or feeling called to create something meaningful from their own life experience.

This episode is especially powerful for women who are ready to trust themselves, honor their health, and build a life and business aligned with purpose.

In this episode, Nancy Moore sits down with Cristina Simmons, author of Eat Your Feelings, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about food, emotions, healing, and wholeness.

Cristina’s story is one so many women will recognize, using food as comfort, control, or coping, while silently carrying stress, shame, and unprocessed emotions. Through her own journey and the work she now does with others, Cristina sheds light on how emotional eating isn’t a willpower problem; it’s an invitation to listen more closely to what our bodies and hearts are trying to tell us.

In this conversation, Cristina shares:

• The deeper emotional roots behind eating patterns

• How to reconnect with your body without guilt or shame

• Why healing your relationship with food is about more than nutrition

• Practical insights for women who are ready to feel better—physically and emotionally

This episode is especially meaningful for women who are building full lives and businesses while trying to care for their health, energy, and wellbeing. Cristina’s message is compassionate, empowering, and deeply freeing—reminding us that true wellness begins with awareness, grace, and alignment.

If you’ve ever found yourself “eating your feelings” or longing for a healthier relationship with food and self, this conversation will meet you right where you are and gently guide you forward.

 Tune in for a conversation that nourishes both body and soul.
