Second Hand Doubt

Second Hand Doubt

Today on Radical Responsibility Revolution, I’m joined by Susan Houston — TEDx speaker, podcast host, and a woman who is having some very honest conversations about judgment, identity, resilience, and what happens when we stop pretending to be who the world expects us to be. And honestly… I have a feeling this conversation is going to go in about 47 different directions — in the best possible way. Because Susan and I share a lot of similar observations about the world right now. The pressure to perform online. The exhaustion of trying to build authentic businesses in an internet culture full of noise, gurus, algorithms, and shiny-object promises. The deeper conversation around energy, frequency, trauma, self-worth, and why so many people are walking around disconnected from themselves while trying to convince everyone else they’re fine. We’re also diving into something Susan calls ‘secondhand doubt’ — the beliefs and limitations we inherit from other people and unknowingly build our lives around. So this is going to be part business conversation, part human conversation, part spiritual conversation… and probably a little rebellion mixed in for good measure.

Is Your Energy Blocked?

Today’s guest is one of those women where you sit down next to her… and within five minutes you’re like, “Wait… how do you know that about me?” I’m joined by Lynnae Velasquez, an intuitive transformation coach who reads energy, calls out your blocks, and then helps you actually do something about them. She’s 36 years sober, built a powerhouse career in sales, walked away from it, and now helps women—especially in direct sales and business—stop spinning their wheels and start becoming the version of themselves that can actually receive what they say they want. This one? We’re talking energy, identity, addiction patterns, money… and why most people are working way too hard for way too little.

Get Speaking Gigs!

Today’s guest is someone who’s built a business around helping people get on stages… but what I’m actually interested in isn’t just the stage. It’s the woman behind the strategy. Because there are a lot of people teaching ‘how to speak’… but far fewer who understand what it really takes to be heard. Leisa Reid is known as the Speaking Strategy Mentor, has delivered over 600 talks, written 9 books, and built platforms like Get Speaking Gigs Now™ and the International Speaker Network™. But what caught my attention… isn’t the volume. It’s the consistency. The decision to keep showing up, keep refining, and keep putting your voice into the world—whether it’s polished or not. So today, we’re not just talking about getting booked. We’re talking about: What it actually takes to own your voice… Why so many people stay invisible… And what shifts when you stop performing… and start telling the truth.

The Truth About Reinvention

Today I have a guest who I instantly connected with — partly because we both have a love for Playa del Carmen, and partly because she represents something I talk about all the time… reinvention, curiosity, and refusing to stay stuck just because the world tells you you should. My guest today is Lourdes Alfonso, originally from Trinidad and Tobago, who later built a life in Canada, worked in advertising, fashion marketing, technology sales, teaching, and now coaching — and she is currently living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, creating an entirely new chapter of her life while helping women do the same. What I love about Lourdes is that she has lived across cultures, across careers, and across decades of change — and instead of shrinking as she got older, she expanded. And that is exactly the kind of conversation we love to have here… especially for women in midlife who know deep down there is more, but aren’t always sure how to step into it. So today we’re going to talk about reinvention, cross-cultural wisdom, getting unstuck, visibility later in life, and why curiosity might be the most powerful personal development tool you have.

Memorial Day's Hidden Meaning

We float in our pools. We grill burgers. We scroll our phones. And most of us rarely stop to ask: Who paid for all of this freedom? In this Memorial Day episode of Radical Responsibility Revolution, Debbie takes a heartfelt journey through the history of Memorial Day—from its origins after the Civil War to the brave men and women who never made it home from battle. Along the way, she explores: ✨ The surprising women who helped create Memorial Day traditions ✨ Why America should not be imprisoned by its past mistakes ✨ The true meaning of democracy and self-governance ✨ What Vietnam veterans endured when they returned home ✨ Why gratitude may be one of the most patriotic acts we can practice ✨ The freedoms we often take for granted every single day This isn't a political conversation. It's a human one. A conversation about sacrifice, remembrance, forgiveness, freedom, and what it means to steward the incredible blessings we've inherited. Before you fire up the grill or jump in the pool, take a moment to remember those who gave everything so that we could live freely. Because freedom isn't free. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
