Wings of a Phoenix Podcast

What if the goal was never to recover from your divorce, but to finally become the woman all those roles never gave you room to be?
In this episode of Wings of a Phoenix, host Trena Briscoe Matthews sits down with Dr. Lisha Antiqua, former therapist, founder of Your Own University, and author of six books, to unpack why willpower alone can't rebuild your life after divorce, and why identity is the real key to transformation.
Dr. Lisha shares her "Amazing You Method" and explains how healing became an addiction for so many women, why traditional therapy keeps you dependent, and how to reclaim your sense of self after a marriage ends. If you have ever asked "Who am I now?" after divorce, this episode is for you.
In this conversation:
Why willpower alone can't rebuild your identity after divorce
How "healing" can quietly become a lifestyle you never graduate from
The Amazing You Method and the four elements of identity
Shadow work redefined: why joy is the real shadow
How to rebuild confidence, starting with learning how to fail
The one question to ask yourself today

About the guest, Dr. Lisha Antiqua
Dr. Lisha Antiqua is the founder of Your Own University and the creator of the Amazing YOU Method and the Reclaim Intimacy Method. Awarded America's Premier Expert in Self-Care, she has spent decades studying transpersonal psychology, human behavior, and personal transformation, and is the author of six books. After years as a therapist, and years in therapy herself, she saw the gap no one was naming: healing was never meant to become your identity. Working with thousands of survivors, she found that many women become experts in their own trauma yet still struggle to trust themselves, receive love, or build the life they want. Her work helps women reclaim what trauma took, their voice, value, self-trust, relationships, pleasure, and purpose, and move from surviving into a life they genuinely love. As she puts it, the goal was never to spend your life recovering, it was to become the person trauma tried to prevent you from becoming.

Are you hoping things will change, or are you asking for what you need?
In this episode, host Trena Briscoe Matthews sits down with Marcelle LeBlanc, relationship coach, founder of the intimacy and wellness brand Velvet Box, and creator of The Conversation Architect, to unpack the difference between women who hope and women who ask. Marcelle shares her own story: nearly a decade in a marriage built on silence, the discovery that her husband was living a double life, and rebuilding from close to zero, emotionally and financially. What she found on the other side became a framework for transformation.
This conversation is for every woman who has ever waited for someone else to notice, hoping he would change, when what she actually needed was to ask.
In this episode
What the "hope trap" looks like in a smart, capable woman's daily life
The real cost of silence, measured in years and identity, not just money
Lauren's story: the one conversation that restarted a marriage instead of ending it
How the ask vs. hope framework applies post-divorce, not just before the decision
What the shift from hoper to asker actually looks like in the middle: self-trust, built one small conversation at a time
The "vista break," and why looking back is how you find what you want next
The one ask Marcelle sends every woman home with
About the Guest
Marcelle LeBlanc is the Conversation Architect and has discovered that one honest conversation can save a woman years. Years of resentment. Years of loneliness and the quiet grief of not being seen. Years spent building a life with the wrong person, or with the right person in the wrong way. After surviving an unhealthy marriage, infidelity, and a devastating divorce, Marcelle's path took an unexpected turn. Through more than a decade of conversations with thousands of women in the business she built, she began noticing the same painful pattern over and over again: many women know something is wrong in their relationship long before they allow themselves to say it out loud. Many convince themselves it's "good enough," only to realize years later that it was a painful mistake. Today, Marcelle is an entrepreneur who built Velvet Box, a multi-million-dollar retail brand, and now dedicates her life to The Conversation Architect. Marcelle is on a mission to help women make the critical decision that could change their lives. Not by spending months in couples therapy, but through one honest conversation that can set them on a path toward love, happiness, and alignment.

Are you a high-achieving mom navigating divorce while trying to protect your kids’ emotional well-being? In this episode, host Trena Briscoe Matthews sits down with Dr. Carla Caturia — Elite Mental Performance Coach and founder of The House of RISE — for the honest conversation every divorcing mom needs to hear.
Dr. Carla has spent over 20 years in education and has worked with more than 10,000 students and families. She’s identified a pattern she calls the “Success Without Self Cycle” — where achievement keeps climbing while identity quietly falls behind. Your kids can be making straight A’s, winning trophies, and appearing perfectly fine on the outside… while carrying something heavy underneath.
In this conversation:
The hidden emotional cost of divorce on high-achieving kids
How the “Success Without Self Cycle” shows up in your children
Why appearing strong may actually keep your kids from opening up
How to co-parent across two households without losing your peace
The one weekly habit that builds deeper connection with your teen
Why your vulnerability is your greatest parenting asset right now

What happens when the relationship that costs you the most becomes the story you were always meant to tell?
In this episode, I sit down with Nikki Allen — singer-songwriter, filmmaker, author, philanthropist, and founder of The Empress Company and Lyrical Content Entertainment Group. Nikki is a woman who has turned every hard thing into art, and this conversation reflects exactly that.
She opens up about losing her mother, finding herself deep in a relationship that cost her more than she expected, and how she transformed that pain into music, film, and her debut novel Loved You, Hated You. What struck me most was that even in the hard parts, Nikki never lost sight of who she was — and she made sure we talked about the healing, not just the heartbreak.
We cover how grief shaped her early life and career, the story behind her novel, what it really means to be a soul-led woman, and the tools that helped her rebuild and build an empire on the other side of loss.
This one is for every woman who has ever loved someone at the cost of herself — and is ready to come back to who she was before.

What do you do when a court tells you that you get one hour a week with your child?
 
Kate Markland didn’t fall apart. She asked her son Gabriel one question: “Do you want to be the hero of your own story?” That question built a world.
Kate is a former physiotherapist, children’s author, award-winning innovator, and founder of StoryQuest™ — a storytelling methodology that has achieved 100% engagement among 465 children in 9 schools, with zero behavioral incidents, and has every single child become a published author. It has been presented to the British Psychological Society and considered by UNICEF.
In this episode, Kate shares what her 20 years as a physiotherapist taught her about listening — not to symptoms, but to the story beneath them. She walks us through the night her son Gabriel was removed from her home by armed police, how she survived the darkest chapter of her life one small win at a time, and how one hour on FaceTime became a #1 Amazon bestselling children’s book series and a global movement connecting children across continents.
This conversation is for every woman who has ever felt like someone else was writing her story — her divorce, her judge, her ex. Kate’s journey is proof that you are always the author. No matter what chapter you’re in.
“You own your story. Nobody else owns your story.” — Kate Markland.

FEATURED GUEST: KATE MARKLAND
Kate Markland is a former physiotherapist, children’s author, and advocate for every child’s right to tell their own story. She is the creator of StoryQuest™ — a storytelling methodology that has achieved 100% engagement across 465 children in nine schools, turning every reluctant, resistant, or disengaged learner into a published author.
When Kate faced a court-ordered separation from her son Gabriel, she transformed their weekly hour together into a collaborative storytelling adventure — one that became a #1 bestselling children’s book series before Gabriel turned twelve. That same insight — that healing begins with being heard — became the foundation of StoryQuest™.
The methodology has been presented to the British Psychological Society, considered by UNICEF, and covered by BBC News, Times Radio, and publications across four continents. Kate received the PhysioTimes Women in Leadership Award in 2026, and her global story library, Stories Without Borders, now connects children across Bradford, Lahore, Buenos Aires, and beyond.
 
She brings clinical rigor, a mother’s heart, and twenty years of listening to people at their most vulnerable to every conversation she has.
