Dr. Sage has seen it all from both sides. She's the expert in the room. She's also the woman who survived childhood trauma, burnout, cancer, and emotional abuse.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when the person who&apos;s supposed to help others heal… needs to heal herself?</p><p>That&apos;s exactly where this episode starts, and it doesn&apos;t hold back.</p><p>Dr. Sage has seen it all from both sides. She&apos;s the expert in the room. She&apos;s also the woman who survived childhood trauma, burnout, cancer, and emotional abuse. And instead of letting those things define her, she let them refine her.</p><p>In this episode, she opens up about her own healing journey and what she&apos;s learned helping other women do the same, especially those stuck in narcissistic relationships, silenced by trauma, or just trying to figure out who they are on the other side of pain.</p><p>This one is raw. It&apos;s real. And if you&apos;ve ever felt like you lost yourself somewhere along the way, it just might be exactly what you needed to hear today.</p><p>Even if you were imaginative, you couldn’t make up the crazy life that Dr. Sage Breslin has lived.  Raised primarily in suburban Los Angeles, she had no idea what life had in store for her.  </p><p>Educated in some of the finest institutions and having traveled the world, Dr. Breslin is intelligent, articulate and culturally fluent- you’d never know that she has a Traumatic Brain Injury, endured extensive sexual assault and sex trafficking, nor that she was paralyzed during graduate school after an accident.  If you met her, you’d be impressed with her diplomacy, grace and sassy wit, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that she’s experienced cardiac arrest eight times, once while giving birth to twins prematurely (after being told she could never have kids!). Her ravenous multitasking and seemingly limitless energy would never give away that she has Multiple Myeloma and had a Bone Marrow Transplant in 2021.  </p><p>While others might have given up in response to such extensive trauma and tragedy, Dr. Breslin’s amazing resilience has enabled her to use her experiences to assist others.  </p><p>Sage has a BA in Behavioral Psychology from UCSD and an MA and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University. She is also certified by Dr. Herb Benson in Mind/Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School. </p><p>Dr. Breslin is a Breakthrough and Transformation Coach, a Trauma Psychologist, a Motivational Speaker, a Screenwriter and a Best-Selling Author.  Her first book, Lovers &amp; Survivors, as well as her work with Chicken Soup for the Soul, LLC have generated worldwide acclaim.  Her second and third books, The Secret to Conception and The Secret to Conception Workbook, have enabled hundreds to resolve fertility challenges.  Her fourth book, Daily Pearls: 365 Days of Sage Wisdom, blends Dr. Breslin’s musings with motivational quotes from a wide array of contributors and delivers an unforgettable and moving read.  </p><p>Her narrative storytelling style enables readers to experience life as she has lived it, and delivers the inspirational message so imperative for post-traumatic growth.  While her colorful life has imbued her with perspective and insight, Dr. Breslin acknowledges that true wisdom is gained through collective conscious community.  Her most recent book takes an even deeper dive into enabling conscious leaders to break through cognitive, emotional and energetic barriers to achieve authentic, empowered leadership.  The importance of this form of transformational work is evident: Breaking Through: The Conscious Leader’s and Entrepreneur’s Guide to Amplify Intuition, Clarity, Vision, Motivation and Productivity hit best-seller status within 24 hours! Her upcoming book, Ditch the Narcissist Magnet: Reclaim your Presence, Confidence, Passion, Power and your LIFE! will be published in 2026.</p><p>Sage splits her time between enjoying her growing family (including frequent play dates with her grandson) and her work with those in leadership roles. She offers self-paced courses as well as transformational masterminds for those seeking to uplevel their leadership. To learn more about these offers, go to www.SageBreslin.com.  Additionally, she is the founder of the ROSE System (Restoring Old Soul Empowerment) that enables high-achieving women of depth to get unstuck and get their mojo back so that they can experience soul-fulfilling passion and joy.

    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[What if the very thing you're meant to do… is something you never planned for? That's the question I couldn't stop thinking about after this conversation. This week I sat down with Ruth Milligan…….a communications strategist, TEDx founder, and someone who has spent decades helping people find their voice and step into their message with confidence.

She didn&apos;t have it all mapped out. But she showed up anyway, and what grew out of that? A 20+ year career helping others do the same thing she had to learn the hard way.</p><p>Ruth Milligan helps people find their voice, tell their story, and have their message be heard. For over three decades, she has served as a communication strategist, coach and trainer. Founder and curator of one of the longest-running TEDx programs, TEDxColumbus, her career has included roles of speechwriter, national press secretary, and embedded consultant to billion-dollar contract pitches for Fortune 10 companies. </p><p>Ruth received her BA in Speech Communication from Miami University. Prior to founding Articulation in 2010, which focuses exclusively on executive communication coaching and training, she ran a PR and marketing firm and worked in political and non-profit communications. </p><p>She has a deep connection and commitment to her forever home, Columbus, where she has served on a variety of non-profit boards, and helped to launch the nation’s third women-founded bank in town, Fortuna. She keeps active ties to Miami, having just finished a term on the university’s foundation board. </p><p>In her spare time, Ruth plays a healthy amount of Pickleball, enjoys working out, biking, and hiking with her husband Dave. They have two college-aged children and a dog, Bean. </p><p>We talked about what it really takes to find your voice. We talked about overcoming that nagging fear of &quot;Can I actually do this?&quot; We talked about the power of surrounding yourself with the right people,  and why stepping out before you feel ready can change everything.</p><p>This conversation is honest. It&apos;s encouraging. And it&apos;s full of the kind of perspective that makes you want to stop waiting and start moving.</p><p>If you&apos;ve been holding back or questioning your path,  I really believe this episode will speak to you. 🤍</p><p><br/></p><p><b>To connect with our guest, click on the links below:</b></p><p>Website: <a href='http://www.articulationinc.com'>http://www.articulationinc.com</a> </p><p>LinkedIn: <a href='http://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthmilligan'>www.linkedin.com/in/ruthmilligan</a> </p><p><b>Connect with me:</b></p><p>Instagram:<a href='https://www.instagram.com/heidischalkcoaching'> https://www.instagram.com/heidischalkcoaching</a></p><p>FB Group:<a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/femaleentrepreneursandleaders'> https://www.facebook.com/groups/femaleentrepreneursandleaders</a></p><p>Spotlight to Scale:<a href='https://www.spotlighttoscale.com/blueprint'> https://www.spotlighttoscale.com/blueprint</a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidischalkcoaching/'> https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidischalkcoaching/</a></p><p>Ready to grow your biz:<a href='http://scalewithheidi.com'> scalewithheidi.com</a></p><p><br/><br/></p>]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we sit down with best-selling author, business strategist, and leadership consultant Roslyn Rice, whose newest book ‘What&apos;s Next’ just hit #1 Hot New Release on Amazon. She&apos;s a lead consultant with the Small Business Development Center at FIU and the Advocacy Director for NAWBO South Florida, and she&apos;s spent decades helping entrepreneurs and leaders figure out how to grow, change, and reinvent themselves.</p><p>We get into her unexpected path into the business world, how consumer psychology shaped the way she works, and the very real strategies companies use to influence how we think, shop, and make decisions.

Prior to her career as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist, Dr. Reidy graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center and then practiced law in Cleveland, Ohio for 10 years. She obtained her B.A., summa cum laude, in Classical Studies from Boston College.</p><p>Dr. Reidy has been providing prenatal care, delivering babies, and practicing gynecology in Huntsville since 2004. She came to Huntsville after training at University Hospitals of Cleveland, Ohio and having graduated from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine. Upon founding Women4Women OBGYN in 2017, Dr. Reidy expanded the scope of the practice to include wellness and aesthetic services.  Dr. Reidy initiated these options after years of hearing patients’ requests that she do so, and she has discovered that delivering these services is an extremely satisfying addition to her busy practice. Another breakthrough Dr. Reidy initiated was the return of certified nurse midwives to Huntsville Hospital after an absence of nearly 30 years. Dr. Reidy feels strongly that the women of North Alabama deserve to have this option available to them in a safe hospital setting.</p><p>Among her numerous civic and professional activities, Dr. Reidy is one of the founders of the International Women’s Forum-Alabama and its immediate past president. The International Women’s Forum-Alabama is part of an invitation-only global organization whose mission is to advance women’s leadership and champion equality worldwide. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Drake State Community and Technical College.  She served six years as a board member of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation and has also served on the boards of The Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville, and Girls, Inc. of North Alabama. She is a founding member of the Women’s Philanthropy Society of the Community Foundation and a former chair of the OBGYN Department at Huntsville Hospital. She has held multiple leadership positions for Huntsville Hospital. </p><p> Dr Reidy has been presented with several awards for her leadership, including being named one of the “50 Women Who Shape the State” of Alabama in 2022 and a recipient of the Vaccine Champion Award from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 2021 for her work advancing the Covid vaccine during the pandemic. Only 6 practitioners nationwide received this award.</p><p>Dr. Reidy is very committed to improving women’s health locally, nationally and internationally.  She has attended multiple international conferences on women’s leadership and on climate change over the years and is an outspoken advocate for improving maternal mortality in Alabama and the U.S.  Dr. Reidy is also involved in promoting racial equity through work with her husband, who is the director of a civil rights museum in Scottsboro, Alabama, The Scottsboro Boys Museum, and being founding members of the racial equity fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Huntsville, Alabama.</p><p>For relaxation, Dr. Reidy enjoys spending time with family and friends, being “Nonna” to her 7 grandchildren, mahjong, crochet, yoga, reading, and traveling. </p><p>To connect with our guest, click on the links below:</p><p>Website: <a href='http://www.women4womenhsv.com'>http://www.women4womenhsv.com</a> </p><p>Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/women4womenhsv/'>Instagram</a></p><p>Connect with me:</p><p>Instagram:<a href='https://www.instagram.com/heidischalkcoaching'> https://www.instagram.com/heidischalkcoaching</a></p><p>FB Group:<a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/femaleentrepreneursandleaders'> https://www.facebook.com</a></p>]]></description>
