  • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome w/ Lacey MacLeod
    It hides in the shadows of our insecurities, shaming us with lies about our inadequacy. It even convinces us that we are not good enough that you don’t belong.
    This fear —that you don’t belong, that you’re not good enough, that somehow you tricked the admissions office, your employer, or your spouse, into choosing you, and that sooner or later they’re going to figure it out has a name.
    It’s called Imposter Syndrome.
    On this Thursday’s episode of The Hello MaximizHer podcast I invite Lacey MacLeod founder and CEO of Talent Uplifted to discuss a common struggle that many women deal with throughout one’s career and even life - imposter syndrome.
    If not properly addressed imposter syndrome has the potential of manifesting itself in just about any part of one’s life causing havoc and never at the ideal time!
    If you ever felt like you don’t belong or more specifically, wondered if you were included, accepted, or invited, by mistake; this episode is for you!

  • The Power of Gratitude w/ Kara

    Gratitude is a transformative force — it shifts our mindset, strengthens our well-being, and helps us see the beauty woven into every season of life.


    As you prepare your “giving of thanks” meal this week, we invite you to slip away for a purposeful 30-minute pause and tune in to the latest episode of The Hello MaximizHER Podcast with Kara.


    In this solo episode, Kara encourages you to look for the “bright spots” — those pockets of joy, peace, and clarity that still exist even in the midst of disappointment, grief, or sadness. Because even in hard seasons, there are always glimmers of hope waiting to be seen.


    With intentional gratitude and daily affirmations, you can begin to feel a real shift in your mindset — a softening, an opening, a renewing.


    Cultivating gratitude isn’t a one-time act; it’s a daily practice that leads to a more anchored, positive, and fulfilling life.


    So let’s lean in.

    Let’s embrace the power of gratitude.

    Let’s transform our mindset for the better.


    Seize your blessings, hold them close, and refuse to let pettiness or small distractions pull your focus from the bigger, more meaningful parts of your life.


    Your gratitude is your superpower — let it lead the way.

  • The Power of the Pitch w/ Kim Kaufman
    When you think about a story, what comes to mind? Perhaps an enjoyable summer read or maybe even a fable or fairytale.
    But a story doesn’t have to be confined to fiction.
    In fact, we tell stories every single day. How we see the past, how we envision the future – those are stories. How we convey a message, how we describe a product or service – those are stories as well. A pitch, a presentation, a plea — all stories.
    In today’s episode we bring on Kim Kaufman public relations strategist, journalist, writer and nationally recognized storyteller, writer and Toastmaster to share some truths about the power the pitch and how to be an effective storyteller.
    Kim shares with listeners one of the biggest elements of developing one’s story is knowing and understanding one’s audience through research by finding out what moves them, what’s important to them and what’s critical and crucial for them to take action.
    Storyteller is about strategy.
    If done well and done correctly, the power of a great story can have a massive effect on the audience and define you as an influencer. It can inspire, enliven and create instant rapport. It can move an audience to take action and it can change lives.

  • The Power of Courage w/ Tiffany Crawford
    Rain came, wind blew, my house was built on you….. lyrics from Maverick City Music Firm Foundation. 🎶🎶🎵
    Bravery is rarely convenient. The price tag is usually higher than we’re comfortable paying. When we walk through different seasons or hardships in life, it can feel like God is silent. It can feel like you are seeking, praying, and asking but are being met with a lack of answers and action. However, when we truly seek Him through scripture, we are told time and again that no matter how we feel, no matter what is happening around us, He is with us. He is working providently in all things to accomplish His plans and purposes.
    We take a slight detour and have a women’s bible study and spirit-led conversation with Tiffany Crawford with Right Now Media.
    With all of the uncertainty that life has to offer, there is one thing that we can always rely on. We will never be abandoned by God’s love, His watchful eye over us, and His desire to walk with us throughout this life on Earth until we meet Him in Heaven.
    If you are walking through a season like this today, take a moment to root yourself in this everlasting truth — if you’re a Christ believer His promises tells us that he will never leave you- (Deuteronomy 31:6).
    If you are not feeling strong or courageous today, by the end of this conversation , you will see that in Christ, you have everything you need to stand strong and courageous!
    Be encouraged, Beloved.
    Enjoy today’s conversation.

  • The Power of Your Voice w/ The Voice Finalist Valarie Harding
    Our human voice is a truly amazing instrument.
    We produce a range of incredibly nuanced sounds that are capable of conveying meaning, emotion, and subtle cues to others. There’s nothing I love to do more in this world than to turn on a beautiful song and get lost in the melody.
    The power of one’s voice has the ability to can change things. Think about it, a single song at a wedding can get everyone jumping to their feet, a praise and worship song can change an atmosphere, a lullaby can comfort an infant, a song listen to on your commute can influence driving habits and even at a sporting event, a song can ignite everyone clapping together in unison.
    On today’s episode of The Hello MaximizHer podcast we invite the talented Season 22 NBC “The Voice” participant Valarie Harding to share how she found victory in using one’s voice. Valarie Harding participated in the knockout battle rounds of NBC’s “The Voice” and was selected to move forward by the one and only multi-award singer and songwriter John Legend. During this episode Valarie shares her experience of being devoted and tenacious in going after her dreams. She encourages listeners to be confident and committed when pursuing one’s dreams.
    Real talk — Life doesn’t always go as planned, but that’s the beauty of it. Don’t give up! Go for it! Write the book! Apply for the job! Audition for the play or better yet for the show! Fuel yourself up with your intense dedication, devotion and passion for your dream and make it happen.
    It’s time to turn up the voices of victory and turn down the voices of defeat and fear.

  • Real Estate and Resiliency w/ Kim Grayson
    The way you treat, think about, and talk to yourself isn’t just about YOU.
    Your MINDSET is YOUR BEST ASSET!
    In today’s episode we invite Founder of Gray Label Home Design and Home Stylist Kimberly Grayson shares her personal design story along with how she learned how to activate her faith while working through life’s daily challenges. One of those challenges was when her son was diagnosed with autism.
    Unless you’ve faced adversity in your life before, it is unlikely you’ve had the need or opportunity to develop resiliency while protecting one’s peace!
    Protecting your peace means caring for and safeguarding your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self – in ways that you define for yourself.
    Protecting your peace is a personal journey, where ultimately you make the decisions and set boundaries for yourself daily!
