49 | THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE IS ALMOST - How Indecision Is Quietly Stealing Your Future
Épisode 48
samedi 24 octobre 2026 • Durée 21:53
Napoleon Hill said it best! "The worst of all human ailments is- INDECISION.“
Indecision doesn't just delay your dreams. It allows your life to be decided by everything and everyone EXCEPT YOU.
Almost ready. Almost confident. Almost brave enough. Almost living the life you were meant to live.
Sound familiar?
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't failure, lack of talent, or opportunity… but the decisions you keep putting off?
In this powerful opening episode of The Unforgettable Series, Ginine Emily Smith, the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness, gets REAL about the hidden cost of indecision, the illusion of perfect timing, and why waiting until you feel ready could be the most expensive choice you ever make.
Through deeply personal stories of survival, unexpected loss, reinvention, and extraordinary opportunities, Ginine challenges you to confront the one question that could change everything:
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
You'll discover why clarity often comes AFTER action, how to recognize when preparation has become procrastination, and why your next chapter begins with one courageous decision.
🔥 YOUR ROCKSTAR MOVE: Identify ONE decision you've been avoiding and take your first step within 24 hours.
🎤 THE MIC DROP:
"Don't spend your life being ALMOST YOU."
Your story matters. Your voice matters. And your future is waiting for YOU to show up.
RISE. ROAR. AND MAKE YOUR LIFE UNFORGETTABLE!

48 | No Plan B, Part 2: Turning Advocacy Into a Movement | Jennifer Kaufman
Épisode 47
vendredi 16 octobre 2026 • Durée 20:56
The conversation continues… and this is where PURPOSE becomes ACTION.
In Part 1, Jennifer Kaufman shared the courageous decision to sell her home, leave her career as a school principal, and go ALL IN on the calling she could no longer ignore.
No Plan B.
In Part 2 of this special Rise & Roar with the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness conversation, we go deeper into the mission behind the leap—autism advocacy, family, education, and Jennifer's work helping grandparents become an informed and powerful part of a child's support system.
We also dive deeper into her book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and the bigger movement she is building around understanding, connection, and advocacy.
Because saying YES to your calling is one thing.
Living the YES is another.
Jennifer's story is a reminder that you don't have to know exactly how the next chapter will unfold before you begin writing it.
Sometimes you simply know:
I can't go back to who I was.
I know who I'm here to serve.
And I'm ALL IN.
🎙️ Part 2: Turning Advocacy Into a Movement
If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, start there—and then come back for the rest of this extraordinary conversation.
If you know there is more inside you—a story, message, mission, book, stage, business, or movement waiting to emerge—what are you waiting for?

47 | When Your Calling Becomes Bigger Than Your Comfort | Jennifer Kaufman
Épisode 46
vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 29:28
What if one of the greatest gifts we can give a child isn't trying to change them—but taking the time to truly see them, understand them, and meet them where they are?
And what happens when you know you're being called to something bigger—but saying YES means walking away from everything that feels safe?
Jennifer Kaufman didn't just talk about following her calling.
She sold her home.
Left her career as a school principal.
And went ALL IN.
No comfortable Plan B.
Her mission? Becoming a full-time advocate for autism and helping families—especially grandparents—better understand, support, and love children on the spectrum.
In this powerful episode of Rise & Roar with the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness, Jennifer shares the story behind her courageous leap, her advocacy work, and her book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum.
We talk about what happens when purpose becomes louder than fear, why grandparents can play such an important role in a neurodivergent child's world, and what it takes to stop waiting for the “perfect time” to do the work you know you're here to do.
Because sometimes your next chapter doesn't come with guarantees.
Sometimes it comes with a choice:
Comfort—or calling?
Certainty—or courage?
Plan B—or YES?
Jennifer chose YES.
And this conversation is for anyone who's ever felt that quiet tug saying:
There's something more I'm supposed to do.
🎙️ Listen to this one if you're ready to stop asking “What if it doesn't work?” and start asking:
“What if this is exactly what I'm here for?”
🦁 This is where the Quiet Warrior becomes the unstoppable Lioness.
46 | Fan Favorite Quiet Warrior Rising — How to Reclaim Your Fierce Voice
Épisode 45
vendredi 2 octobre 2026 • Durée 05:18
There was a time I truly wondered if I had become invisible.
COVID had shut the world down—and it felt like my life had shut down with it.
I had been laid off and dismissed by a company I thought I would retire with. I was building my own business, but I’d kept that corporate training career as my Plan B. My safety net.
Then the safety net disappeared.
My dog died.
I was injured after slipping off my roof and a 10-foot ladder.
I got long-term COVID.
The stages went dark. Performances stopped. Even the women’s ministry work I loved came to a halt.
So I did what I’ve learned to do when life changes the script:
I learned. I built. I created.
I taught myself music production and DAW technology. We built a recording studio. I developed skills I never would have had time to learn before.
But underneath all that productivity?
There was grief, sadness, confusion, fear and depression.
I remember being on my knees praying, feeling so forgotten, irrelevant and invisible.
And then…words came.
Then a melody... from this ache.
Soon after, I had the joy of connecting on Zoom with an incredible rockstar in Australia. Two people on opposite sides of the world discovered we were walking through so many of the same emotions.
And something clicked for me:
The world is much smaller than we think.
Your voice can reach someone you may never have imagined meeting.
Your story can cross oceans.
45 | Tell It Brave: The Power of Intrepid Storytelling -Part 2 with guest Deanna Powell
Épisode 44
lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 31:27
What if the story you’ve been afraid to tell is the very story someone else needs to hear?
In this powerful PART 2 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.

43| Storytelling as Sacred: Why Your Scars Matter in the Mirror and on the Mic
Épisode 42
vendredi 4 septembre 2026 • Durée 08:31
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.

41 | FAN FAVORITE | The MOM Episode That Changed Everything
Épisode 32
vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 13:50
🎙️ 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...
✨ What if you could support your body's natural ability to renew, restore, and thrive?
I've personally experienced a remarkable difference using LifeWave patches, and I'm excited to share what's been working for me!

Your pain can become connection.
Together, we wrote a song that began in sadness…
but grew into hope, relationship and possibility.
And then something neither of us expected happened.
That little song born during one of the loneliest seasons of my life began getting attention—including taking us all the way to Australian prime-time television.
Think about that.
I felt invisible, yet my voice was traveling around the world.
That season helped awaken the B.A.D.D.A.S.S. Lioness in me.
And that’s why I’m bringing back one of the episodes that means so much to me:
🎙️ Episode 46: Quiet Warrior Rising — How to Reclaim Your Fierce Voice
If you’ve ever felt forgotten…
If life has knocked the wind out of you…
If you’ve wondered whether your voice, your dream, or even you still matter…
Please listen.
Because sometimes the season that feels like it is silencing you is actually teaching you how to ROAR.
And sometimes what begins as heartbreak becomes a ripple you could never have planned.
There is always hope.
🎵 Listen to the song that came out of this extraordinary chapter of my life: https://open.spotify.com/track/0runMYbU7ScOtiyp5UFz41?si=1e1ae315da99435a
From Quiet Warrior to ROARING Lioness. 🦁
Your voice still matters.
Your story still matters.
And you have no idea how far one ripple can travel.
