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.

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.

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?
