Rise & Roar with the Badass Lioness

What if the story you’ve been afraid to tell is the very story someone else needs to hear? In this powerful episode of The Rise & Roar with the Badass Lioness, international speaker, bestselling author, TV host, and Story-to-Stage™ strategist Ginine Emily Smith sits down with Deanna Powell of a top tier podcast 'Intrepid Storytelling' for an honest conversation about courage, visibility, healing, and the responsibility that comes with owning your voice. Deanna reveals how some of the most painful chapters of her life became the foundation for her purpose—and why sharing your story is not about reliving the pain, seeking attention, or performing vulnerability. It is about transforming what happened to you into something that can serve others. Together, Deanna and Ginine explore the difference between simply telling a story and creating a moment people can feel, remember, and carry with them. They discuss what it takes to move beyond fear, silence the inner critic, develop authentic stage presence, and communicate your message with conviction. Because getting the stage is not the win. Owning the moment is. This conversation is for every leader, speaker, author, entrepreneur, and courageous human who knows there is more inside them—but has been waiting for permission to step forward. You do not have to be completely healed to help someone heal. You do not have to be fearless to use your voice. And you do not need a perfect story to create a powerful ripple. Your story is your evidence. Your voice is your instrument. And one courageous yes could change more lives than you will ever know.

YOUR STORY IS MORE THAN WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU. IT MAY BE ONE OF YOUR MOST POWERFUL ASSETS. We all have a story. But there’s a difference between simply having a story… and knowing how to use it to create connection, credibility, influence and impact. In this episode of the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness Podcast, Ginine Emily Smith explores why storytelling is sacred—and why the very experiences you once thought disqualified you may become the evidence that qualifies you to help someone else. Your scars aren't signs of weakness. They're evidence. Evidence that you survived. Evidence that you learned. Evidence that you have something worth saying. From the mirror to the mic, Ginine shares how owning your story can free you from shame, silence the inner bullies, and transform painful experiences into purpose. But healing is only the beginning. With decades of experience in front of and behind the microphone, Ginine has spent years studying one question: What makes someone unforgettable? Because everyone has a story. Knowing how to use that story is what turns experience into influence—and takes you from “Nice story” to “You blew me away.” Whether you're a woman leader, entrepreneur, speaker, author, coach, or changemaker, your story can become one of your greatest assets—helping you build trust, differentiate yourself, grow your visibility, create opportunities, and make a meaningful ripple in the lives of others. Because it isn't enough to be brilliant. People have to notice and remember your brilliance. READY TO GO FROM UNKNOWN TO UNFORGETTABLE?

🎙️ FAN FAVORITE | The Episode That Changed Everything As I prepare to celebrate my mom's life on what would have been her 83rd birthday, August 12, I'm bringing back one of the most meaningful episodes I've ever recorded. I had no idea when I hit "publish" that this conversation would become a fan favorite... or that it would be noticed by people like Mel Robbins and Elizabeth Gilbert, opening doors and connections I never could have imagined. But that's what happens when we have the courage to tell the truth. Just weeks after losing my beautiful mom, Mary Ann Mizerski, I sat down behind the microphone with a broken heart and shared a story I almost didn't tell. This episode isn't simply about grief. It's about legacy. It's about motherhood. It's about forgiveness. It's about seeing the women who raised us as whole human beings—not just for the hardest chapters of their lives, but for the courage, sacrifice, dreams, and love that shaped us. My mom endured more than most people will ever know. She lost her husband, raised six children as a single mother, faced incredible hardships, and through it all continued to seek Jesus, love her family, and keep moving forward. She wasn't perfect. None of us are. But she lived a life worth remembering. This conversation also became another reminder of something I believe with all my heart: Our stories are never just about us. When we have the courage to share them, they become hope, healing, and permission for someone else. If you've ever lost someone you love... If your relationship with your mother was complicated... If you've ever wondered whether your own story matters... I hope you'll spend this time with me. As we gather to celebrate my mom's life next Wednesday, August 12, I can't think of a more meaningful episode to revisit. Because people are not one chapter. They are entire libraries. ❤️ If this episode touches your heart, would you share it with someone who needs the reminder that their story—and the people who shaped it—matter more than they know? #MothersDay #StoryToStage #HealingOutLoud #RiseAndRoar #GinineEmilySmith #WomenEmpowerment #Legacy #Storytelling #GriefAndHealing #Motherhood #HeartLedLeadership #BadassLioness #PodcastEpisode #TraumaToTriumph #StoriesMatter Get your Book NOW- on sale for .99cents so every mother is blessed- https://go.heartsinsync.live/storytostage .

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, "When did I lose myself?" Maybe you're successful. Maybe you're the strong one. Maybe everyone else thinks you have it all together. But deep inside, something whispers, "There has to be more than this." In this deeply personal episode, Ginine Emily Smith shares why hiding doesn't always look like fear—it often looks like overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and carrying everyone else's burdens while quietly abandoning your own heart. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering yourself. Together, we'll begin the journey of laying down the armor, rediscovering your voice, and taking the first courageous step toward the woman God created you to be. Because you don't have to earn your worth. You simply have to come home. #RiseAndRoar #StoryToStage #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #PersonalGrowth #Legacy #PurposeDriven #BADASSLioness #Impact #Transformation Ginine wants to hear your story- No pressure!

Who has changed your life the most? Was it the celebrity... Or the teacher who believed in you? The billionaire... Or the single mom who refused to give up? The influencer... Or the recovery sponsor who answered the phone at 2:00 a.m.? Our culture measures success by followers, fame, and recognition. But what if we've been measuring significance all wrong? In this episode of The Rockstar Ripple Effect, Ginine Emily Smith explores why some of the greatest heroes never make headlines—and why the most meaningful legacies are often written quietly, one life at a time. You'll discover why transformation matters more than recognition, how everyday acts of courage create ripple effects that outlive us, and why your greatest impact may be happening in places you'll never see. Because the world doesn't change because a few people become famous. It changes because ordinary people choose extraordinary courage. One of the ways we're growing this movement is through the Rockstar Ripple Effect Anthology—a collection of stories from ordinary people whose courage created extraordinary ripples. If you've been listening and thinking, 'Maybe one day I'll share my story,' I'd encourage you not to ignore that nudge. We'd love to have you learn more when the time is right. This anthology isn't simply about becoming an author. It's about becoming part of a community of courageous people who believe stories can heal, connect, inspire, and create lasting change. Because when one person has the courage to share their story... Someone else finds the courage to rewrite theirs. Together, we can create a Rockstar Ripple Effect that reaches far beyond what any one of us could accomplish alone. #RiseAndRoar #StoryToStage #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #PersonalGrowth #Legacy #PurposeDriven #BADASSLioness #Impact #Transformation Ginine wants to hear your story- No pressure!
