What does it take to go from food stamps to global stages? In this episode, I sit down with international speaker and mentor Marianne Hickman, who transformed her life and built a career speaking on more than 2,400 stages across 17 countries. She opens up about the mindset shift that changed her trajectory, the power of healing your story before sharing it, and the difference between simply “speaking” and truly facilitating transformation. We dig into the silent struggles creators and influencers face, why podcasting is one of the most overlooked stages in the industry, and the practical steps you can take right now to get booked, gain confidence, and turn your message into impact. If you’re ready to step into a bigger version of your voice—and finally see the path forward—this conversation will hit you right where you need it.
