About the Podcast

Finding Your Fierce
Sharing lessons and stories about creating the life and business you deserve!
Who are you becoming — and are you becoming that person intentionally?
Finding Your FIERCE explores the small choices that shape our lives, leadership, relationships, work, and impact.
Hosted by Dr. Carolyn Colleen, author, speaker, entrepreneur, educator, and creator of Intentional Becoming™, the podcast is about becoming more courageous, resourceful, resilient, and intentional in the middle of real life.
Every FIERCE Friday, Carolyn shares one idea, one perspective shift, and one practical FIERCE action you can take right away.
No hour-long lesson required.
Just a few minutes to:
Breathe.
Focus.
Take FIERCE Action.
You'll also hear occasional longer episodes with guests whose stories and insights help us think differently about adversity, leadership, possibility, and becoming.
Because transformation rarely happens all at once.
It happens through the choices we practice, the questions we ask, and the next small action we're willing to take.
Finding Your FIERCE.
Five minutes to intentionally become.
