”The Audacity” Podcast

A cancer diagnosis impacts more than the person who receives it. It can affect an entire family, and the people walking alongside their loved one have a journey of their own. 

In this special Breast Cancer Awareness Month episode of The Audacity Podcast, I sit down with my guest and daughter, Nykea Scott, to have an honest and personal conversation about her experience as the daughter of a mother diagnosed with breast cancer. 

We talk about the impact of my diagnosis on her, the emotions she experienced while watching me navigate my journey, the challenges of being a support person, and the things that often go unspoken when someone you love has cancer. 

This conversation gives us an opportunity to look beyond the patient's experience and recognize the voices, emotions and journeys of the family members who walk beside them.

Because when cancer enters a family, the diagnosis may belong to one person, but the journey touches many.

A cancer diagnosis can change everything-your perspective, your priorities, and even your understanding of faith. But what happens when you have to trust God while walking through the uncertainty of diagnosis, treatment and everything that comes with it? 

In this episode of the The Audacity Podcast, my guest, Matthew Tillery (Prostate Cancer Survivor) and I have an honest conversation about navigating a cancer diagnosis and experiencing the faithfulness of God in the process. We'll talk about the fears, the questions, the difficult moments and the strength it takes to keep moving forward when you don't know what tomorrow holds. 

Because sometimes faith isn't about having all the answers-it's about discovering that God is still faithful, even in the middle of the unknown. 

Have The Audacity to keep believing, keep moving and keeo trusting! 

What happens when the host becomes the guest? In this special takeover episode of The Audacity Podcast, Matthew Tillery steps behind the microphone to interview the woman behind the podcast, Dawn N. Tillery. 

As The Audacity Podcast celebrates its first anniversary, Dawn takes us behind the scenes of the journey-why she started, what she's learned, and what it means to have the audacity to live boldly, authentically, and unapologetically. 

This time, she isn't asking the questions. She's answering them. Welcome to The Story Behind the Audacity. 

In this episode of The Audacity Podcast, we're talking about "Use What's In Your Hands"- a powerful reminder that what we need to move forward may already be within our reach.

My guest, Matissia Everette Wooten, shares her entrepreneurial journey, the heart behind her business and how ministry and purpose have influenced the path she's taking. We talk about recognizing what God has placed in your hands, being willing to use your gifts and abilities, and having the courage to take the next step-even when everything isn't perfectly figured out or when experiencing life's challenges.

This conversation is an encouraging reminder that you don't have to wait for more resources, more recognition, or the "perfect" opportunity to begin. Sometimes, you simply have to use what is already in your hands.

Have The Audacity to recognize what's in you, use what's in your hands, and make it count!

What does it take to build a successful business while remaining faithful to God's calling? 

In this episode of The Audacity Podcast, I sit down with Titanta Telfair, founder of Gifted Pleasures to discuss entrepreneurship, business strategy, administrative excellence, and her journey of following God's direction. Whether you're launching a business or pursuing your purpose, you'll find practical insight, encouragement, and inspiration to help you move forward with confidence. 

Listen in and be encouraged to pursue your vision with faith and purpose. 

Life can be heavy as we're facing not only our own situations, but changes in the world around us. My guest, Tamala L. Cooper, Educator, Content Creator & Stage Actor and I talk about the healing power of laughter, why joy matters and why sometimes the best thing we can do is simply laugh. Laughter doesn't mean life is perfect-it means hope is still alive. Even in difficult seasons, choosing joy can be an act of faith and resilience. 

Clinical research is about more than medical breakthroughs-its about people, hope and the future of healthcare. In this episode of The Audacity Podcast, I sit down with Sharon Evans-Gay, Clinical Research Nurse Specialist, to discuss the purpose of clinical research, how participants are protected, the importance of diverse representation in clinical trials, and the impact research has on improving patient care. 

Whether you're curious about clinical research or simply looking to better understand the process, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on how research continues to transform lives. 

Have The Audacity to embrace knowledge, inspire, hope and Make it a Great Day! 

June is designated as National Cancer Survivor Month. According to statistics, there are currently more than 18.6 million people living in the US with a history of cancer. In this podcast, I wanted to highlight this being Cancer Survivor Month and our ability to Thrive Beyond Cancer! Please take a listen as my guest, Kimberly Nicholson, shares her story of survivorship and above all "Thriving Beyond Cancer". 

This episode was impactful for me as I hope it will be for you. 

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about mental health, emotional wellness, and faith. We discuss what mental health really is, why emotional development matters, and how faith and mental health can work together to support healing, growth and overall well-being. 

Whether you're navigating life's challenges, supporting someone you love, ro simply seeking greater understanding, this conversation offers valuable insight and practical encouragement. 

Have The Audacity to Grow, Heal & Thrive!

In this special return episode of "The Audacity", Dawn N. Tillery sits down with a very special guest, her mother, Mamie L. Scott, Visionary & Director of the Community Of Hope Center for a powerful conversation about faith, purpose and legacy. Together, they reflect on the journey of the Community of Hope Center, the vision that began in 2021 at the age of 72. This is a reminder that you're never too old or too late to fulfill your purpose. No matter what your season in life, There is Still Hope!
