She didn’t start a brand to go viral. She started it to find herself again.  At 47, Caroline Baudino thought life had passed her by.

What if the very thing you’ve been fighting all along is the very thing you need to let go of?

Grief is the wilderness no one prepares us for. The world tells us to move on and bury the pain. But what if grief wasn’t meant to be erased but integrated into who we are becoming? Melissa Dlugolecki knows this firsthand. After losing her daughter Leyden to NEC, her life was shattered, her heart broken, her finances devastated, and her sense of identity stripped away. And yet, it was in that breaking that her rebuilding began. Today, she is a speaker, coach, and author of Scar Tissue, helping thousands transform grief into healing, resilience, and purpose.  In this episode, Melissa opens up about the truth no one wants to talk about: grief doesn’t disappear, it integrates.

Most personal brand messages fall flat because they’re built to sound good, not to connect. If people can’t feel it, they won’t follow it.  You can have a stunning logo, perfectly curated posts, and show up on every platform, but if people can’t instantly tell a friend why they follow you, you’re not creating impact… you’re just adding to the noise.  In this episode, Emily unpacks why most messages get lost in the scroll and the subtle shifts that turn a personal brand into one people can’t stop talking about. She’ll challenge the way you’ve been taught to “show up” online, expose the hidden reasons your audience isn’t engaging, and give you the tools to finally share a message that lands. Because the truth is, your brand’s power isn’t in how good it lands. It’s in how deeply it connects.  What You’ll Learn: • The qualities every brand message must carry to connect deeply • How to speak with clarity so even a 12-year-old can repeat your message • Why conviction, not polish, makes you magnetic • The surprising way to stand out without being controversial • How to create a calling-based personal brand that creates legacy, not just likes Timestamps: (02:01) - Why clarity is more powerful than content (04:53) - The real reason why your message isn’t landing (05:17) - Why complexity kills clarity (06:22) - How to make your message instantly repeatable (09:10) - How to make people say “That’s me” (10:42) - Conviction beats polish every time (10:55) - Your story is the bridge to your audience (15:52) - Why challenging the status quo is key (23:06) - Your brand is a permission slip, not a performance (26:17) - The secret to building a timeless personal brand (27:29) - The enemy’s tactic to keep you quiet (33:02) - Invitation to “The Called” Masterclass  Join “The Called” Masterclass • The Called Masterclass | https://fordivine.com/masterclass  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: • Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   • Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         • Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    • YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD  • Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  • FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/

He tried to end his life three times. What happened next changed everything.  Brad Scot Johnson was once a respected pastor with a global platform. But behind the sermons and stages was a man slowly unraveling - battling addiction, shame, infidelity, and internal collapse. His fall was public. His marriage ended.

In this deeply honest conversation, Brad shares the raw truth of what it means to fall hard and rise again - not just to ministry, but to identity, purpose, and divine restoration.
