Been mocked for saying I have been working 14-16 hour work days! I have accepted the fact people tend to support you as long as you are on their same level! I made the decision to level up and I now appreciate the art of hard work, less socializing, less sleep, and I appreciate and understand the importance of pushing hard! Outside of my regular 9-5, I am a published author, I am on FM radio out of Atlanta, working on my podcast, I have been doing interviews of great people doing great things, I have a blog, I have my youtube channel, I write bio’s for other people, I am launching my Business Consulting business, and the list goes on and on! I choose to keep pressing forward and higher, and I choose to refuse to allow what’s going on with other people and their situations to derail me from any of it! I have issues also, however, I choose not to allow my challenges that are going on to interfere with that which is greater. I choose to have Heaven right here right now! So for those who are mocking me thank you!!! I press hard for myself, my family, and MY GOD! Greater is she who believes in GOD than she who is trying to please others.
Lianne is the creator and host of Watch Us Thrive, a personal development podcast that talks about mental health, healing from trauma that keeps us stuck in toxic relationships & how we can reconnect with our inner magic✨
Lianne has been on her personal development journey since early 2021. After escaping a physically & emotionally abusive relationship, she realized that she was attracting the same type of toxic partner over and over again. She saw that she was the common denominator in those relationships and knew it was time for a hard reset & start healing her deep-rooted wounds.
In the process of her journey to healing, Lianne started her podcast, Watch Us Thrive, to share the life stories of what she’s gone through. It has turned into a beautiful platform where people come on to share their own life experiences of turning their trauma into triumph and pain into power.
Lianne is passionate about helping listeners heal from their own life experiences by being able to share her own and the stories of others. She was afraid to use her voice in those toxic relationships and now that she’s free. Lianne is taking her power back and speaking up for the voiceless, one episode at a time.

Reginald D has a gifted way of making mind-bending conversations simplistic and real. As a highly regarded speaker and leader, he strives to add meaning and memory to his conversations, thanks to his dynamic personality, innovative approach, ceaseless willpower, and infectious southern charisma. Reginald D is empathetic, knowledgeable, and impactful and his words on motivation, spirituality, community involvement, and leadership development will leave you wanting to explore more in life. By the time he ends his discussions, you’ll have found a better connection with your purpose, feeling gratified and motivated in life and work.
Reginald D was born in Greenville, South Carolina. He comes from generations of pastors, ministers, and leaders, going back to his grandfather, Pastor A.B. Sherman.
Reginald D grew up watching his grandfather build and pastor churches and own and operate a convenience store in his community, all of which he accomplished with only a third-grade education. He was not only Reginald D’s grandfather, but also his mentor and leader. Reginald D watched his grandfather become a prominent leader in his churches and in the community over the course of his life.
Reginald D was not the only one inspired by his grandfather, so is his cousin, Pastor Curtis Johnson. Pastor Johnson has been the pastor of one of the churches that their grandfather built and is a well-respected leader within his community. He has been nominated as one of the “Outstanding Young Men of America” and is Chairman of the Board for one of the leading anti-poverty community action agencies in South Carolina. He also appointed Reginald D as a leader of his church’s outreach ministry.
At an early age, Reginald D decided to take on the leadership mentality taught to him by his grandfather and Pastor Johnson and apply it to his everyday life. He has gone on to occupy leadership roles at various companies throughout his career.
Through his experiences in these roles Reginald D began to understand what leadership really was and how people respond to it. Reginald discovered that if you cannot build your team up to make them successful and enable them to do the same for others, then you do not really understand leadership. He believes leaders are not bosses, they are servants that make boss moves. He also believes that success comes from leadership development, spirituality, and servanthood. Servant leadership is all about making the goals and visions clear to everyone on the team and then rolling up your sleeves and doing whatever it takes to help people win. Reginald passionately believes that we are not only servants to God, but that we are also servants to God’s people.
