The Expert Authority Coach Podcast

Christine Blosdale interviews media and communication strategist Brooke Hargraves about why entrepreneurs and service providers aren’t connecting despite having websites and social media.
They emphasize the importance of clarity - separating who you are, what you do, and what you know - and the need to articulate who you serve and how you help.
They discuss audience fragmentation as an opportunity to reach niche communities, the value of imperfection, and practical steps: define a specific audience, create a pathway to reach them, and set measurable structures and metrics.-------------------

The Expert Authority Coach Podcast Presents: How To Use ChatGPT and AI Without Losing Your Humanity 
Christine Blosdale interviews David Dean, an author and enterprise AI strategist, about how AI has long shaped behavior behind the scenes and is now commoditized through language-based tools. 
Dean argues AI “industrializes” existing organizational behavior, so dysfunction scales unless leaders use AI for organizational self-realization, governance, and authentic leadership. 
They discuss prompting, AI as a symbiotic partner lacking lived experience, ethical risks like voice scams, and the need for regulation, transparency, and intent. Dean warns that communication data can become an e-discovery “behavioral record” for companies. 
They also explore practical future uses like localized AI for home inventory and workplace status updates.

YOUR SENSITIVITY ISN'T THE PROBLEM - IT'S YOUR SUPERPOWER! 
Have you ever been told you're "too sensitive," "too emotional," or "overthinking everything"? What if those qualities weren't weaknesses at all—but some of your greatest strengths?
In this inspiring episode, Christine Blosdale sits down with Sally Reid, Quantum Alignment Coach and author, to explore why highly sensitive people often struggle to trust themselves - and how reconnecting with your intuition can transform your business, relationships, health, and life.
Together they unpack the hidden beliefs and unconscious rules that quietly shape our decisions, the damaging effects of negative self-talk, and why so many people stay stuck despite doing "all the right things."
Sally introduces the idea of becoming a "Super Noticer" - someone who naturally picks up on subtle patterns, energy shifts, and opportunities that others often miss. Rather than suppressing your sensitivity, you'll discover how to harness it as one of your greatest personal and professional assets.
You'll also learn Sally's practical TRUST Method, a simple framework for overcoming overthinking, making aligned decisions, and building greater confidence in yourself.
If you've ever doubted your intuition, struggled with people-pleasing, or wondered why success still feels out of reach despite your best efforts, this episode offers practical wisdom and empowering insights to help you reconnect with your inner authority.
In This Episode You'll Discover:
✔ Why sensitivity is a superpower—not a weakness
✔ The hidden beliefs that quietly sabotage success
✔ How negative self-talk shapes your reality
✔ Why intuition deserves a seat at the decision-making table
✔ How to stop people-pleasing without losing your compassion
✔ The importance of boundaries for highly sensitive people
✔ Sally Reid's TRUST Method for making confident decisions
✔ Simple ways to build greater self-trust and emotional resilience

Before You Build Your Brand, Build Your Self-Worth | Kristen Olson
On The Expert Authority Coach podcast,  Christine Blosdale interviews Kristen Olson, founder of KO Alliance and host of the Turmeric and Tequila podcast. Olson shares her journey from being a longtime athlete and D1 lacrosse player to starting a lacrosse business in Colorado, building sponsorships like Clif Bar, and formalizing her work connecting athletes and brands through strategic partnerships. She explains launching her podcast after seeing inauthenticity in health and wellness marketing and wanting to tell the truth. The conversation centers on women’s self-worth and confidence in business, how environments and relationships can erode it, and why developing self-awareness and boundaries is critical - especially for young people navigating addictive, comparison-driven social media. Olson emphasizes abundance, community, authenticity, and drawing confidence from real-life “gold stars” such as failures and hardships.

Why Your Energy Matters More Than Your Marketing Special Guest: Claudia Noriega BernsteinWhat if the reason you’re struggling to attract aligned clients, opportunities, confidence, or abundance has less to do with your marketing… and more to do with your energy?
In this deeply powerful and honest conversation, Christine Blosdale sits down with Claudia Noriega Bernstein to explore why your energy, self-worth, and inner alignment matter far more than most business strategies.
