Holly Christine Hayes: founder of Santuary Project, employing survivors of trafficking, violence and addiction May 17, 2021

Show notes

This interview was super emotionally intense and real. Holly is a survivor of human trafficking, abuse, and addiction. When she hit rock bottom, she found herself homeless and crying out on the floor of a public bathroom. She got real with me about when her childhood abuse began, and how that affected so much of her life thereafter. She talked about signs to look for with your children and why it’s so important to pay attention to changes in your child’s behavior. She then walked me through her journey into trafficking. I didn’t realize that most women become trafficked through a boyfriend or someone close to them. Now she is truly thriving in life. She is a force of light and goodness. Holly is the Founder/CEO of a company helping other women break out of the dark cycle. Sanctuary Project is a survivor-run nonprofit jewelry enterprise, based in Austin, that provides meaningful employment and job training to women who have survived trafficking, violence and addiction. The jewelry is stunning and carried in Target! Holly is now a wife, mom author and speaker. She and I spent the most magical day together with our families after our interview; I am blessed to know Holly and anyone who listens to this episode will be blessed by her story!

Dacía James Lewis: A List Choreographer tells her story of manifesting her way onto Hollywood’s biggest stages and gets vulnerable when discussing her new book about her fertility journey. May 10, 2021

Show notes

Dacía James Lewis is no stranger to putting herself out there. In her Hollywood career, she has choreographed and graced stages with artists such as Tracee Ellis Ross, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige and many more. The Atlanta resident was most recently seen in Coming 2 America as well as Genius: Aretha. Expressing herself through dance is something that has always come natural to her; and now, it’s her words that are moving the masses in her first book The Game of Life: Releasing the Weight When God Says Wait. Dacía opens up about her experience with infertility as she takes us through her wait journey. Dacía hopes that by sharing her story, it will normalize speaking about an issue that affects about nine percent of men and 11 percent of women of reproductive age in the United States.

While this book covers her very personal experience with the topic, The Game of Life offers so much more and is relatable to everyone feeling stuck whether it has to do with dreams not coming true or pressures they may face from family and society about relationships or career. The reasons may be different, but the waiting game still feels the same.

The Dryes: Husband Wife duo using the pain of their past and hope for their future to inspire us to trust in the bigger plan. May 03, 2021

Show notes

Derek Drye was 30 years old when he remembers hearing his mother's voice for the very first time. “I found these videotapes of my mom that I didn't know existed," the North Carolina native quietly tells PEOPLE about the memories he discovered back in 2018 of his late mother, who died by suicide when he was just a baby. "I had seen pictures and stuff, but I had never heard that Carolina drawl that she had, until I pressed play." Their song “War” was born from that heartache and the music video features the only footage Derek has ever seen of his mom. Powerful. Derek told me that writing “War” was very healing for him and his family, bc where words often fail, music can heal. That’s what the Dryes do... they use the pain and experiences and dreams of their life and write music that gets in your soul and moves it. Their new song “Whites Creek” is about finding God in their dream home. The crazy thing is, they hadn’t even bought this house when they wrote the song, they just knew they were going to plant their roots and build their family in whites creek in this future house. The Dryes are vessels for God and use their music and life to spread His glory, even in their darkest moments. This episode will leave you inspired and will remind you how God truly makes His message out of every mess and heartache we experience if you let Him in.

Lathan Warlick: Changing the game of country music and using his lyrics for God with his star studded EP produced by Tyler Hubbard of FGL. Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

This guy I declare has a direct line to God and is using his gifts of lyrics and music to make one of the most impactful, important EPs in Country Music right now, “My Way.” And that’s exactly it, he’s making a new lane for himself and it’s already making waves. Tyler Hubbard, RaeLynn, Lauren Alaina, Russell Dickerson, Matt Stell and Dustin Lynch all have collaborations on Lathan’s project. He’s not a “country artist,” he’s a”positive artist” and his motto is God, Love and Music. His life all changed the moment he was held at gunpoint... after living through that he committed his entire being to serving God and shining light in the dark places of the world. I felt MOVED by the Spirit throughout this entire interview. I talk to tons of spiritually charged humans, but there is something so powerful about Lathan, you can’t help but know you are in God’s presence when you talk to him. Dig into the episode and get his EP, our now “MY WAY.”

Jessica Zweig: Powerhouse Branding Expert! Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Every day, Jessica shows up for the world as authentically “her” as possible. But it wasn’t always that way. Through most of her 20s, she struggled with body dysmorphia, romantic codependency, massively low self-esteem and thousands of dollars of credit card debt. It took a lot of therapy, deep spiritual journeys, self-work and most of all, self-responsibility to finally realize that she was out of alignment with her true self and that she didn’t have to be everything to everyone. And in fact, doing that was robbing her of living her best life.

So instead, she decided to zero in on who she was at her core and let that woman shine—a world-traveling big-thinking visionary with goddess energy and a superpower for helping others discover their unique essence. She created her own personal brand and realized that when she started showing up as her every day, my whole world changed. Life became infinitely better, and she became infinitely more … “her.” In 2014, her personal branding company, SimplyBe. Agency, was born. Her mission? When you set yourself free to Simply Be, you set the world free. She just released her first best selling book, as well as hosting a top podcast, speaking around the world and empowering women in everything she does!

Marie Joe: Founder and Head designer for JFY.. a top female design company that focuses on timelessness and bringing each client’s personality to life. Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Marie-Joe is born French Canadian. She lived and loved half of her life in Canada then relocated to America with her husband for his job opportunity just over 2 decades ago. Talk about a woman who knows how to pivot, re-invent herself, follow her curiosity and passion, put herself out there even when she doesn’t see the road, just the first step... that’s Marie-Joe. I LOVE Marie-Joe’s zest for a passionate life and her willingness to just go for it. She doesn’t overthink or doubt her instincts and gifts. She isn’t scared to be the boss and make important choices. I learned so much from this conversation. Key points: be confident, be bold, don’t be scared to try something you’re curious about and feel like you could be gifted in, start small and within your network of people and work for free/part time/side hustle in the beginning, gaining experience is priceless and essential... You can build a thriving, top career from the bottom up while being a mother, just learn your boundaries. Marie-Joe talks about finding her way in a new country, charting her own course with her design dreams, balancing motherhood, marriage and career and not feeling guilty for needing all 3 in her life, which comes with learning when to make sacrifices and where. This episode is crucial for women who want to know how to have it all and be so round of your life, family and relationships without sacrificing it all.

Caroline's Favorite Convos: Lori McKenna: Hit songwriter discovered by Faith Hill shares the journey of her life through songs. Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Lori McKenna has written some of the most important songs in country music like “Girl Crush” by Little Big Town, and “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw. She has won Song of the Year 2 times and Grammys. The thing that is most remarkable about Lori is her ability to see the story and song in everyday living. She sees the beauty in it all and writes it in such a way that makes us feel to our bones and know we are alive. She kept mentioning how lucky she was during this interview... but I think her success in her career and marriage and life is so much more than luck. It’s her perspective and willingness to go all in. Lori is a poet and a truth teller. She’s a mother of 5 kids and a wife to Gene, her sweetheart since they were just kids themselves. Lori has a new album out “Balladeer” and it is a masterpiece, just like all of her other albums. Anyone who knows of Lori and listens to her music and her sing knows she’s got a gift straight from heaven. She’s one of those people who you just know you are in the presence of greatness when you’re around her, yet she doesn’t even realize it. That’s what makes her magic.
