    About the guest – Karen Pulver is a multifaceted individual with a remarkable journey. She is a podcaster, model, actress, mother, teacher, wife, cancer and stroke survivor. Karen's passion for empowering women led her to create a women's group in Chicago called Grateful Goddesses. Within this group, women gathered in various venues to listen to inspiring speakers and engage in activities curated by Karen to enhance their lives. In 2009, Karen established Grateful Goddesses, and in 2011, she faced a challenging diagnosis of cancer. Despite this setback, Karen drew strength from the gatherings and utilized the skills she acquired to navigate her rehabilitation journey both physically and mentally. Subsequently, Karen dedicated herself to teaching young children, witnessing the joy in their eyes as they learned to read and write, fostering their confidence and pride. In 2019, Karen revitalized Grateful Goddesses amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by launching a podcast of the same name. This virtual platform allowed her to connect with individuals worldwide, expanding her knowledge of life's physical, mental, and spiritual aspects. Recognizing the value of personal interactions, Karen initiated a weekly live show on the Pulver network, engaging with her audience and incorporating their feedback into her podcast episodes. Inspired by her experiences, Karen pursued coaching at the Adler School of Psychology. In 2023, she faced another health challenge with a stroke, drawing upon the tools from the goddess toolbox for her rehabilitation. Karen's resilience and positivity SHINE through as she continues to interview and coach individuals, particularly those navigating health challenges. She believes in moving forward while allowing herself grace to heal. Karen's dedication to helping others discover their potential, from children to adults, is guided by the motto, "You always had the power, my dear, you just had to realize it." As Karen embraces her role as a beacon of positivity and empowerment, she embodies the spirit of growth and transformation.

    About the guest –

    I am Randy "Boom Boom" Blake Jr., and my journey in the world of martial arts has been nothing short of incredible. With 31 years of experience, I've earned the prestigious title of 5-Time ISKA Heavyweight World Champion and hold a 5th-degree black belt in karate. My dedication to the sport has led to multiple inductions into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. In the world of kickboxing, I boast a remarkable record of 52-7 with an impressive 35 knockouts. I've had the privilege to compete in the top kickboxing leagues, including Chuck Norris' World Combat League, K-1, and GLORY. My passion extends beyond the ring. I'm a Goal Success Life Coach, dedicated to helping individuals reach their full potential and achieve their goals. As a Motivational Speaker, I've had the privilege of sharing my story and inspiring others in diverse settings, from churches and prisons to colleges, schools, and corporate events. One of my proudest moments was being honored with the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing my lifetime of achievements and contributions to society. I'm driven by a deep desire to make a positive impact on the world, whether it's through my athletic achievements or my work as a coach and speaker. My skills extend beyond martial arts to include kickboxing, karate, goal setting, motivation, public speaking, and leadership. Join me on my journey to success, motivation, and personal growth. Together, we can overcome challenges and reach new heights. Book : BOOM: A True Story Of Perseverance, Mental Toughness, And Overcoming Adversity. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life." Muhammad Ali.  As I share my story of world titles and the kickboxing life, I want to lead you on a journey of five principles that made me the man I am today. They are taken from the practice of martial arts. They are Courage, Discipline, Perseverance, Respect and Integrity.

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE with Jeanette Deatherage

    Episode Summary – WE SALUTE YOU! In Episode 74 of the Shining Brightly Podcast Show (links in the comments), titled THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, my guest Jeanette Deatherage joined the Airforce right out of high school in Wisconsin from living on a farm. She got the twinkle in her eye seeing her brother return from Vietnam in his dress uniform. She met her husband Master Seargeant Chief – Craig Deatherage who proposed one week after meeting her. They lived the military life that included two daughters and two grandsons. Then Jeanette became Craigs caregiver after he was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic prostate cancer. (PLEASE GET SCREENED). Thank God Craig is stable currently. Lastly, we chatted about Jeanettes close to 40 years with Mary Kay and how that business and entrepreneurship help support her family and be in service to others. COME LISTEN, DOWNLOAD, SHARE, AND REVIEW THIS GREAT SHOW!

    About the guest – Jeanette Deatherage I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, USAF Veteran and friend. I love my God, husband, daughters, grandson, family, and pets, along with the dear friends, co-workers and clients who may as well be family! I simply adore my daughters and grandsons. I guess that’s part of the reason why I always treat people with such love, kindness, and compassion. I love, I care, I hope, I pray, and yes, sometimes I even cry! Yet, at the same time, I’m a strong, hard-working, and determined team leader, coach, and mentor. I get up each morning, ready to take on the world. I have a passion for being responsible, building enduring relationships, providing great customer service, and meeting deadlines. I treat my co-workers and clients with dignity and respect and help bring out the best in them at every opportunity. The people who rely on me expect it, and, frankly, I expect it from myself! Before I leave for work each morning, I want to put my best face forward, to face every day looking and feeling my best. It’s so nice that Mary Kay is always there to help me to do that. That one last look in the mirror, and the smile I see, tells me all I need to know! That’s why I’m a Mary Kay representative and have used their products long before I ever decided to work for this world-class organization. Yes, you can say that I’m a Mary Kay girl, and my customers are exactly like me! I invite you to join me; let’s face the day together!
