In Episode 46 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm getting real about the number one thing holding entrepreneurs back: lack of confidence. If you've ever struggled with imposter syndrome, felt like you're not qualified enough, or played small when you know you're meant for bigger things, this solo episode will show you how to overcome fear and build the unshakeable confidence you need to succeed.

I'm sharing my personal journey from losing everything in bankruptcy at age 50 to reclaiming my power and embracing my identity as a queen in business. You'll hear the prophetic revelation that changed how I see myself, why Mel Robbins' high-five habit actually works, and how my Word of the Year—Fearless—is transforming my entire approach to entrepreneurship and The Holmestead launch.

This isn't just motivational fluff. I'm giving you practical, actionable confidence-building strategies you can implement today: daily rituals that rewire your brain, why fear is NOT from God, how to be your own biggest cheerleader without being cocky, and the critical importance of surrounding yourself with confident people who believe in you. Plus, I'm getting vulnerable about almost giving up on the podcast and The Brighter Side Society, and the mindset shift that turned everything around and brought my biggest membership month ever.

The "B" in BIGGIE stands for Believe—and if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will either. This episode is your permission slip to stop playing small and own the unique gifts God created you with.

Key Takeaways:

1. Understand why confidence is the #1 differentiating factor for successful entrepreneurs
2. Learn the difference between true confidence and flashy overcompensation from insecurity

In Episode 45 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, Brian and I are pulling back the curtain on The Holmestead Hideaway—our revolutionary Caribbean giving bar and retreat where 100% of profits go to charity. If you've ever dreamed of building a business with purpose beyond profit, wondered how to create a legacy that changes lives, or want to see what faith-based social entrepreneurship looks like in action, this episode reveals our complete vision and mission for this transformational project.

We're sharing our 2026 words of the year (Fearless and Thrive), the 10-year journey of how God called us to create The Holmestead, and the two powerful charitable missions driving everything: supporting local Caribbean island communities through grants and education, and funding disaster relief worldwide through The Holmestead Angels nonprofit born from our Hurricane Helene relief work in Asheville.

This isn't your typical hospitality business—it's a giving bar designed to create the most incredible experience on earth while transforming lives. From funding island entrepreneurs and artists to providing bartending and hospitality training, from supporting infrastructure projects to responding to natural disasters, every dollar guests spend becomes a vehicle for change. We're talking about sustainable impact that will outlive us and create generational transformation.

Brian shares the Holmes Fashion cocktail success story while I dive into my batching cocktails masterclass with Ford's Gin, but more importantly, we reveal why we're seeking capital stewards instead of traditional investors, how the financial structure prioritizes giving over personal gain, and the timeline that could see us launching as early as next month. We're getting vulnerable about grief, legacy, faith, and why building something meaningful matters more than accumulating wealth.

The "G" in BIGGIE stands for Give—because success means nothing if we're not lifting others. This episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven entrepreneurship and an invitation to be part of something bigger than yourself.

Key Takeaways:

1. Discover the giving bar concept where 100% of profits support charitable missions
2. Learn the two charitable legs: 50% to local island communities, 50% to disaster relief
3. Understand why capital stewards create better partnerships than traditional investors for mission-driven businesses
4. Hear real examples of island projects: boat upgrades, artist grants, entrepreneur funding
5. Explore educational programs bringing hospitality and bartending training to islanders
6. The Holmestead Angels nonprofit origin story from Hurricane Helene relief work
7. Why faith-based business can be inclusive and welcoming to all people
8. How to structure a social impact business that prioritizes legacy over profit
9. The 10-year journey from BevCon vision to Caribbean hideaway reality
10. Timeline and next steps: property secured, designers hired, launch imminent
11. Creating unforgettable hospitality experiences that make guests feel like rockstars
12. Why...

In Episode 44 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm kicking off 2026 with a powerful solo episode about setting business goals that actually work and avoiding the new year burnout that stops most entrepreneurs by February. If you've ever felt the pressure to accomplish everything at once in January, struggled with staying consistent throughout the year, or need clarity on what to focus on first, this episode gives you the framework to build sustainable momentum all year long.

As we step into 2026, I'm sharing my personal approach to vision boards, goal setting, and introducing the revolutionary Four Cs framework (Calm, Confidence, Clarity, Connection) that will shape The Brighter Side Society and this podcast throughout the year. This isn't about overwhelming yourself with 50 resolutions—it's about strategic focus, sustainable energy, and building the business you actually want without sacrificing your sanity or your life.

I dive deep into why focusing on ONE big goal for the year is more powerful than scattering your energy across dozens of projects, how to break down that massive dream into manageable 30-60-90 day milestones, and the Dream Tracker method that keeps me accountable and on track. You'll hear about my vision board celebration with The Brighter Side community, the power of visualization backed by action, and why consistency throughout the year beats January intensity every single time.

This episode also explores how to use AI as your strategic planning partner, the transformative power of my 10-minute prayer and journaling practice for business clarity, and why finding your accountability partner or business community is non-negotiable for success. I'm getting real about imposter syndrome, celebrating wins before setting new goals, and the importance of balancing ambition with calm—because burnout doesn't build empires.

The "B" in BIGGIE stands for Believe - and believing in your vision requires both seeing it clearly (hello, vision boards!) and taking consistent action every single day. This episode gives you permission to dream BIGGIE while staying grounded in practical, sustainable strategies that actually work.

Key Takeaways:

1. Focus on ONE major goal for 2026 instead of overwhelming yourself with endless resolutions
2. Create vision boards that visualize your dreams and keep them visible daily
3. Break annual goals into 30-60-90 day milestones for actionable progress
4. Consistency throughout the year beats motivation and intensity in January alone
5. The Four Cs Framework: Calm, Confidence, Clarity, Connection for 2026 success
6. Use AI strategically to clarify your vision, prioritize goals, and plan action steps
7. Implement a 10-minute daily practice (prayer, meditation, journaling) for business clarity
8. Find your accountability partner or join a community - you're not meant to do this alone
9. Celebrate last year's wins and reflect on lessons before planning the new year
10. Spread your energy strategically across 12 months instead of burning out in one
