Talkin' Tennessee with Yvonnca

Some relationships don’t end with a fight, they end with a quiet realization: you’re holding the rope and it’s costing you your future. Liz Stowers joins me for a powerful, honest conversation about boundaries, “transitional friends,” and why women in particular get trained to fix everybody even when it turns into codependency. We talk about how to spot toxic patterns, how to stop carrying burdens that were never assigned to you, and how confidence gets built one hard choice at a time.

Knoxville talks a lot about being “the Volunteers” but what does service actually look like when nobody is handing you a script? I’m joined by Liz Stowers, a powerhouse community leader with deep roots in a military “service over self” mindset, and we get real about what it takes to show up, listen first, and build trust in East Tennessee.

We’re unpacking leadership that builds people up, leaves no one behind, and measures success by lives changed—not trophies. With Phyllis Nichols, we dig into the practice of leading from the back of the pack, where teaching, coaching, and empowering turn raw potential into real progress. It’s a candid, story-rich exploration of substance over sizzle and why the most effective leaders obsess over outcomes, not optics.

A single question reorients the whole conversation: what if success is measured by who you lift, not what you keep?

What happens when life gives you a second chance? Clarence Vaughn's story is nothing short of extraordinary—a powerful testament to how faith, community support, and personal determination can transform even the most challenging beginnings into a life of purpose and service.
 
 Expelled from high school after missing 86% of the school year with a shocking 0.7 GPA, Clarence could have become another statistic. Instead, he is now serving as Director for the Office of Access and Community Connections at the University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business, Clarence has come full circle. He creates opportunities for young people just like his former self, including pre-collegiate summer programs that bring high school students to campus. His leadership philosophy is refreshingly grounded: "Small wins outweigh large victories," he advises, cautioning against the desire to leap from entry-level to CEO without experiencing the crucial steps between.

"Wisdom at a Cost" isn't just the title of John Matthews' book—it's the thread running through his extraordinary life story. In this deeply moving conversation, John opens up about growing up in a household dominated by his father's alcoholism and abuse, and how that environment set the stage for his own battle with addiction.

This is only part one of John's powerful story—tune in next Friday as we continue exploring his journey from addiction to redemption.
