On this episode of The Big Talk podcast, we're talking about our Knowing—our inner compass, that quiet voice inside of each of us that gently nudges or pulls us in the direction we should be going. For this conversation, I am honored and super excited to be joined by the incredible Dyer sisters — Saje Dyer and Serena Dyer Pisoni. Serena and Saje are both authors who were born and raised in South Florida and are the daughters of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer. Serena attended The University of Miami, where she graduated with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in religious studies and international relations. After taking time off to travel the world with her father and visit numerous Holy and religious sites, Serena wrote her first book, Don't Die With Your Music Still In You, which has appeared on several bestseller lists. Saje now lives in New York, where she graduated from NYU with a Master's degree in psychology. Saje also often traveled with her dad to speak to his audiences, and she appeared on his PBS special. She is the author of a children's book titled Goodbye Bumps! that tells the true story of how she was able to heal herself as a child through the power of the mind. Together, these sisters have co-authored and published their most recent book, The Knowing: 11 Lessons to Understand the Quiet Urges of Your Soul. This book is Saje and Serena's voyage from loss to understanding; how they learned, forgot, and rediscovered their Knowing; and how we all can discover ours as well. In this episode, we'll explore: What it was like to lose their dad and how it led to them deciding to write a book together How they define your Knowing and how they came to find their own Knowings amid their grief and suffering The power of your thoughts, gratitude, and releasing with love How to move into a space of receiving, surrendering, and being present in the moment Creating a legacy and modeling that for your children Serena's current favorites — Book: Shibumi, Speaker: her dad, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Podcast: The Big Talk Saje's current favorites — Book: Harry Potter and The Untethered Soul, Speaker: her dad, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Podcast: Dr. Wayne W.

On this episode of The Big Talk podcast, we're talking about what it really looks like to get out of your own way and passionately follow your calling. We're also exploring how to turn this passion into a business and a personal brand that feels in alignment with you. For this conversation, I am excited to be joined by the amazing Nikki Nash.

She shares how she learned — and is still learning — to get out of her own way as she passionately follows her dreams and inspires others to do the same.

This week, we're exploring courage. We're also talking about giving yourself the permission to safely speak your truth and share your story, and what this can mean for your life and the lives of others. For this episode, I am honored to be joined by the incredible Amber Lilyestrom. Amber is a transformational branding strategist and business coach, author, and speaker. She has been featured by Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Working Mother Magazine. She is the host of The Amber Lilyestrom Show podcast, which has over 100,000 monthly downloads.

Amber's mission is to empower women to position themselves as sought-after experts and thought leaders through the creation of an online brand presence. Her transformational mindset work sets her apart in an industry focused on a strategy-first, inner work later approach. We start our conversation by looking back on Amber's childhood and her formative experience of finding the courage to use her voice at a very young age. At only five years old, Amber was the victim of sexual abuse, and with the support and advocacy of her parents, she was able to appear before a grand jury and use her voice to stand up for herself. Amber knows that this transformative experience of finding the courage to speak her truth allowed her to find herself much sooner than most people. Now as an adult, she still is able to rely on this courage and ability to use her own voice through the struggles life presents.
