The Balanced Voice with Rania Mankarious

What does it mean for women to invest in each other? How do we not only push ourselves towards success, but also empower others to succeed as well? 🤔

On episode 26 of #TheBalancedVoice #Podcast we discuss the role of women in entrepreneurship and the challenges women face in this space with the one and only, Carrie Colbert!

Carrie is the Founding and General Partner at Curate Capital and a local Houston Influencer. After a 17-year career in the energy industry, Carrie left the corporate world to pursue her passion of creative pursuits and business decision making. She now invests in female entrepreneurs and female-driven companies by providing capital, mentorship, and more. You can learn more about Curate Capital at https://curate.capital/

In this balanced conversation we discuss the need for young women to pursue female mentorship and ultimately answer this question: How do we eliminate the scarcity mentality and equip women to succeed in all aspects of their lives?

On this episode of The Balanced Voice Podcast, we welcome Dr. Laura Berman, who you may know as a love & relationship expert, often seen on the Oprah channel, Dr. Oz, and the Today Show, as well as being an 8-time New York Times bestselling author. However, we have recently come to know her in a whole new light as she navigates the unimaginable: losing her 16-year old son to a fentanyl laced pill.

In this heartbreaking conversation, Dr. Berman courageously shares her story with us to educate parents and mobilize legislators so that ultimately “not one more kid dies”. 💔

This week on #TheBalancedVoicePodcast we are thrilled to welcome Texas’s very own Matthew McConaughey!

In his debut book ‘Greenlights’, Matthew bares it all as he walks the reader throughout his unique journey thus far. Personal photos and journal writing are shared along with lessons learned from his real experiences with family, love, fatherhood and faith.

In our conversation, we unpack how his most raw and vulnerable “red” and “yellow” light moments that he writes about, helped him catch “greenlights” and become the person he is today.

From his foundation that aims to keep kids from choosing a life of crime by providing them with opportunities to lead healthy lives, to his ongoing dedication to The Lone Star State, it is clear that he is a person that cares deeply about the next generation and the world around him.

In this encouraging and packed conversation we discover what it means to live in the present, honor the past, and advocate for a better future.

Join us this Wednesday, March 10th at 10am CST on the @crimestoppersofhouston Facebook page!

Anxiety, depression, and mental illness affects a large percentage of our population. Is our society's addiction to social media to blame?

In Episode 22, we sit down with model and wellness expert Nikki Sharp to discuss her journey to wellness, why she thinks mental health struggles are on the rise and how we can raise a generation that knows their self-worth is more than their social media brand.

We all want our children to be healthy. That is why we teach them about nutritious foods and encourage them to exercise. It's why we don’t allow them to survive on ice cream and candy alone. But what about their mental, emotional, and social health? How do we teach them healthy habits in a modern world full of technology?

In today’s balanced conversation with Dr. Jonathan Stevens, who is the Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Chief of Outpatient Services of The Menninger Clinic, we discuss everything from when to get your child a cell phone, what you should consider before doing so, and how young people are being affected mentally by our modern world.

Ultimately, we answer THIS question: How do we help our youth develop a healthy relationship with technology?

Nearly a year ago our entire world came to a screeching halt. Although it was unexpected and largely unwelcomed, we were all given a unique opportunity to critique our reality as we #stayathome.

Alissa Wilkinson, Film Critic and Culture Reporter at @voxdotcom, is someone who has dedicated her life to critique and culture.

Since we wrestle with difficult topics and a flood of opinions daily, we thought Alissa would be the perfect guest to discuss the role of critique in our society today. In our conversation with Alissa we ponder this:

Is the entertainment industry dictating what is going on in our world, or are we shaping our society and the entertainment industry is simply creating content as a response?

We were incredibly honored to have the opportunity to sit down with Texas Governor, Greg Abbott to discuss public safety for all Texans. @govabbott @governorabbott

In our conversation, we covered critical #publicsafety concerns such as felony bond reform, the “defund the police” movement, and homelessness in Texas.

In episode 18 we ultimately approach this question: Why has public safety become a political topic and does this come at the cost of safety for all?

We are thrilled to release this special episode on Wednesday, February 3. We invite you to watch the release of the video recording and join the conversation on the @crimestoppersofhouston Facebook page at 10am CST.

The audio version of the podcast will be available on streaming platforms such as #spotify #applepodcasts and #googlepodcasts.

Whose job is it to regulate media? The content producers? Our policy makers? You as a parent? Or is it some combination of all of the above?

On episode 17 of #TheBalancedVoicePodcast, CEO Rania Mankarious sits down with Tim Winter, President of the Parents Television Council, to answer this question and discuss the impact of sensitive subject matter on young eyes.
