Holly May Cormier

Hi there!

I’m Holly May Cormier, author of Memphis, an emotional domestic thriller about love, survival, and reclaiming your power after abuse. I’m also a true crime YouTube creator, where I dive into stories of real-world domestic cases, narcissistic abuse, and the thin line between devotion and danger.

My work bridges fiction and reality — exploring how the same psychological patterns that make true crime so gripping also play out in women’s lives every day. I’d love to join your podcast to talk about:

🖤 The psychology of control and survival in relationships
💜 How fiction and true crime overlap — and what they teach us about human behaviour
🧡 Healing and empowerment after trauma
💔 Why readers are drawn to stories about resilience and redemption
✨ The making of Memphis — and the inspiration behind my focus on women’s strength through darkness

Listeners who enjoy thrillers, emotional women’s fiction, or true crime storytelling would resonate with this discussion. I always aim to leave audiences with both goosebumps and hope — reminding them that survival can be a story worth celebrating.

You can find my work here:

Thank you for considering me! I’d be honoured to bring a thoughtful, heartfelt perspective to your audience.

Warm regards,

How Humor Helps

Strategies to become healthy, wealthy, and wise (without having to go to bed early).

by Lewis R. Franzini Ph.D.

Release date: January 06, 2026

Categories: Self-help, Psychology, Humor

Synopsis

The judicious use of humor is often cited as the reason a new relationship began. It is also frequently recognized as the reason it has lasted. People like to be with others who make them laugh and who, in turn, enjoy their own humorous comments. Humor is an effective tool in nearly all settings, from formal interactions in the workplace to casual exchanges with strangers.

How Humor Helps… informs its readers how to determine what is funny and what is not. Complicating the picture is that the appropriate use of humor has recently changed drastically in terms of topics and language. This book emphasizes the positive values of humor in many areas of life and how to deliver it effectively.

Based on the scientific literature, the views of professional comedians, and our awareness of cultural changes, the author’s recommendations are all designed to affect major personal benefits to the reader. Maybe greater longevity, too, as the latest evidence is that strong social connections, facilitated by clever humor, actually can make people happier, self-confident, and even physically healthier. This book stresses the value of using humor in most areas of your life and how to do it successfully to garner the greatest benefits.

Roy Washington

I have a book in the planning stages that reflects my life growing up as a foster child, slipping into the gang life, and turning my life around after facing a jury trial that I didn't deserve to have.  I served my country as an Army soldier and inspired my community with music for years. I continue to serve till this day as a podcaster and community leader.  My EP: "THE FINAL INGREDIENT" received great reviews, and one of my tracks was mentioned for a Grammy in 2023.

I am also well versed in the paranormal and true crime.  I have crazy experiences on either topic that I can share with your audience.  

US

My name is Roy Washington, and I am the third youngest of eighteen children.  I was given up and raised in a foster home from the age of two, but I didn't let that stop me.  I went on to serve in the military directly from high school and started a music career while in the Army.  After a hi9ghly successful independent musical journey, I went on to become a youth mentor and popular radio personality in my city.  I started the Quest Nation network in 2015, to spotlight, empower and encourage people in our city and all across the world.

Smith Guy

Misinformation rules in the ideological wars concerning guns, and neither side is innocent.

Gun Facts and it's founder, Guy Smith, have been on a 25+ year mission to both remove misinformation from the discussion, but to dig deep into the data and explore the realities of gun violence.

United States

With an education in quantitative management, and as a working market researcher, Guy started noticing that gun policy organizations were less than factual and often outright dishonest. His research capabilities, paired with a stubborn southern gent’s honor, caused him to take-up the cause of debunking gun policy misinformation.

Guy is not a member of any organization – not the NRA, not Everytown for Gun Safety, not the Second Amendment Foundation, not the Brady Campaign. Nada. Not even any political party. Someone once bought Guy a membership in the California Rifle and Pistol Association, and Guy immediately demanded to be removed from the membership roster.

Speaking: Guy is a regular speaker on television (Al Jazeera, CCTV, Thom Hartmann’s Big Picture), radio (several of the Heavy Hundred, Gun Talk, and countless regional stations) and at meetings of civil liberty groups..

SonYah

SonYah is a quantum alchemist and architect, a spiritual teacher whose transmissions are rooted in spiritual science and prophetic revelation. Her latest works, Christ Codes: Ascension Prophesies Revealed and her Ascension Action Plan, offer a precise map of humanity’s evolutionary thresholds and the energetic architecture guiding our collective 2029 Ascension Manifestation. Through archetypal frameworks, elemental sequencing, and multidimensional curriculum design, she helps seekers align with the codes of transformation and embody their soul’s role in this unfolding planetary shift.

United States

​Born from a crucible of chronic illness and soul-deep suffering, SonYahs path began as a living initiation. Her body became the altar, her breath the prayer, and her pain the teacher. Through this sacred descent, she was summoned into the role of Spiritual Scientist, tracking the unseen, mapping the multidimensional, and apprenticing herself to the wisdom keepers of Indigenous and esoteric lineages. She entered the dream temples of the psyche, studied the architecture of Spiritual Dream Psychology, and attuned her vessel to the healing currents of Energy Medicine. Each modality became a strand in her mythic braid—a synthesis of remembrance, restoration, and radiant transmission.

SonYahs current embodiment of this work was seeded through eighteen years of deep initiation within a Shamanic Mystery School devoted to the Divine Feminine. Immersed in lunar rhythms and womb wisdom, her soul was prepared for the sacred integration of the Divine Masculine. This long devotion awakened her to the cyclical intelligence of the feminine and laid the foundation for the Christ Body Template to activate within her own being.

As an Emissary of the Cosmos Christ and Co-Creator of the Christ Codes, a Living Light transmission from Divine Mother Sophia, SonYah carries a sacred mission to heal the heart of the Divine Feminine and awaken the Christ blueprint within each soul for their Ascension. Guided by Spirit, she was led to a new spiritual home where she encountered Archetypal Knowledge, ancient, universal energies that revealed themselves not as abstract concepts but as living forces guiding the soul’s evolution and humanity’s awakening. These archetypes became the keys to decoding the Christ Codes, illuminating the path of sacred union.

SonYahs work bridges the Divine Feminine and Masculine, weaving together ritual, remembrance, and multidimensional healing. Through her offerings, she invites others into deep soul activation, spiritual sovereignty, and the embodied wisdom of the Christ Codes. Her path is not one of dogma, but of devotion. Not of hierarchy, but of heart. She walks beside you, not ahead, as a guide, a mirror, and a fellow traveler in the great mystery unfolding.

 Promoting So Happy – A Joyful Wedding Anthem from a Visionary Creative

I was referred to your platform by my publicist, Kat Fleischman from Do-Tell PR.  In a world where love stories unfold in unique ways, the celebration of that love through music holds a special place in every couple's heart. I am thrilled to introduce my latest single, So Happy, a heartfelt wedding song that encapsulates the joy and beauty of two people coming together in love. This track is not just a song, it's an experience that captures the essence of commitment, happiness, and the journey of love.

The Inspiration Behind So Happy
So Happy was inspired by my personal journey through love. After experiencing bad relationships and almost giving up on love, my soon-to-be husband came into my life. He promised me that he would make me happy and he truly did. This song reflects the celebration of love.  It’s a tribute to finding hope and joy after hardship, and the transformative power of love.

Musical Style 

Wedding Ballad: So Happy is a Wedding Ballad that is a joyful celebration of love and commitment, blending contemporary and traditional styles for heartfelt wedding moments. The song evokes a sense of warmth and intimacy. The catchy chorus is designed to linger in the minds of listeners long after the song ends, making it an unforgettable addition to any wedding playlist.

Lyric Highlights
The lyrics of So Happy are crafted to evoke emotions and create vivid imagery of love and togetherness. The song's verses tell a story of love's journey, while the chorus invites everyone to join in the celebration, making it perfect for sing-alongs during wedding receptions.

Target Audience
So Happy is designed for couples who are planning their weddings and want a song that reflects their love story. It resonates with engaged couples, wedding planners, and anyone who appreciates romantic music. The song is versatile enough to appeal to different demographics, whether it's a young couple just starting their journey or couples celebrating decades of love.

Marketing Strategy
To promote So Happy, I plan to implement a multi-faceted marketing strategy:

Social Media Campaigns: Create engaging content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. This includes short clips of the song, behind-the-scenes footage of the recording process, and personal anecdotes about what inspired the song. Music Video: Produce a visually stunning music video that captures the joy of weddings, featuring real couples sharing their love stories. This will not only showcase the song but also create a connection with viewers. Collaboration with Wedding Influencers: Partner with wedding planners, photographers, and influencers who can share So Happy with their audiences. This collaboration will help reach engaged couples looking for their perfect wedding song. I would love to see a celebrity perform my song, as their voice and presence would bring an incredible energy and reach to the message I want to share. Streaming Platforms: Ensure the song is available on all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and create playlists that feature So Happy alongside other popular wedding songs. Live Performances: Schedule performances at local wedding expos, bridal shows, and community events to showcase the song live. Engaging with couples in person allows them to experience the emotion behind the song first-hand. Conclusion
So Happy is more than just a song; it's a celebration of love, joy, and the commitment that two people make to one another. It embodies the essence of what weddings are all about – happiness, togetherness, and the promise of a beautiful future. I invite you to join me in sharing this heartfelt single with couples everywhere, helping them find the perfect soundtrack for their special day. Let So Happy be the anthem of love that resonates for years to come. Together, we can spread the joy of this beautiful song and make weddings even more memorable.

Thank you for considering my pitch.

Warmly,

My Breaking Bread Story Telling stories are all limited by the truth and facts. Topics include Race, Play, Military Veterans, School Attendance, Poetry and much more. My work has universal message.

When folks, especially kids, know history the become educated and empowered knowing they are not the first generation to experience racism, hate, hunger, homelessness, crime, healthcare, education, lack of trust, opportunities, injustice and all the social ills that plague society.

I use my silliness to break the ice, build rapport, gain trust and create a safe, healthy, positive, prosperous and productive workplace environment as follows:

Question: Why did the football coach go to the bank?

Pause to Ponder.

Answer: To get his quarterback.

C’mon I know you laughed, chuckled, rolled your eyes and perhaps a smile came to your countenance. Everyone likes to laugh because of its therapeutic qualities. Laughing relaxes to the point of relieving constipation which is caused by pent up untreated anger.

If you provide me your email address I will send documents that contain my stories.

My stories are embedded in many of the Topic Categories listed below.

My goal is to be a guest on a welcoming podcast where I can tell my stories, have discussions with the host and have listeners call with their comments, stories and ask me for further details.

Loretta Stagnitto

Hi there,

I have a topic suggestion that I think your listeners would find very interesting.

I’m a seasoned Executive and Leadership Development Coach, and in today’s climate, I keep hearing the same concerns from mid-level and senior leaders:

“We’re not hitting our numbers.” “We’re living quarter to quarter in uncertainty.” “Pressure is high, but performance is slipping.”

This cycle of unpredictability isn’t just stressful—it impacts culture, focus, and results. Leaders tell me:

They don’t have enough personal or staff capacity to deliver what is expected of them within ridiculous timeframes, and usually with unreasonable expectations of unrealistic  results.

Everything feels like a priority, and delegating feels like just shifting the burden. They wonder why some leaders thrive under pressure while others burn out. They want to lead high-performing teams, but conflict, stress, and complexity keep getting in the way. I would love to come on your show and share an insider’s perspective on: Why leaders struggle to maintain performance in high-pressure, uncertain environments. Why some are choosing not to aspire to bigger roles in exchange for more personal flexibility and stability; How leaders can create a culture that thrives and keeps everyone productive, especially during times of uncertainty Practical strategies to motivate teams, improve results, and sustain leadership effectiveness.

In addition to being an Executive and Leadership Development Coach (Corporate Coach U Certified Graduate) for more than 20 years, I am an executive advisor, author, trainer, and workshop facilitator. I help develop and advise leaders that grow into ones that people want to work for and follow. In 2004 I founded Loretta Stagnitto Leadership Associates and in 2011 launched my Assess. Act. Achieve. Methodology and The “I Know” System ™ for Personal and Team Leadership Development. I created this unique coaching methodology after years of interpreting how good managers become great leaders and how productive individuals evolve into high-performing ones.

Here is a link to one of my recent podcast appearances on “The STaR Coach Show with Meg Rentschler” Podcast. https://youtu.be/3aM9UbTunr0?si=3jR0iIPIpMH4I-j2 

Please let me know if this sparks any ideas for an episode! I’m happy to hop on a call and brainstorm more. Your show provides so much value—I would be thrilled to contribute. Looking forward to hopefully working together soon!

Warm Wishes,
Loretta Stagnitto
