Title Of Your New Release
Dare To Be You: Break free from the shackles fo the past to become yourself, outstanding and unstoppable!
What is the background story of your book ?
“Dare To Be You®” is a broad overview of my life and the trials and tribulations I went through to become the person I am today.
To get to where I am today, I had to turn my life completely upside down. I have had to learn how to replace my limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs and face my fears head on. In doing so, I have drag myself out of the depths of depression from several traumatic experiences I have lived through.
I wrote each chapter in this book as reflections/memories of past events in my life. In this book, I reveal the Holistic Health Support System I put together over several years that has strengthened me and helped me to endure and overcome fears, trauma and limiting beliefs that were developed because of these traumatic events in the past. In authoring this book, I hope to inspire you as the reader to be proactive and take action to overcome the traumatic experiences you have previously or are still experiencing in your life today.
The Holistic Health Support System within this book will give you as the reader several holistic ways to become healthier, more positive, even more than that, stand up in your own truth and power for what you believe in to “Dare To Be You” in all aspects of your private and professional life. The system in this book is a guideline on the tools you can use to create a Holistic Health Support System of your own that will strengthen and support you during turbulent times and is not for the fainthearted who want a shortcut to changing their lives as it will take time, effort, and discipline to completely transform your life. If you are willing to invest the time and effort in changing your life, then I encourage you to buy and read a copy of my book “Dare To Be You”.
What approach have you followed to narrate it ?
I have structured this book with small easy to read chapters. Each chapter is of one of the darkest, traumatic, and memorable events of my life. These events start from the age for five to modern day March 2022 which is 40 years of traumatic experiences. I believe these chapters of my life will inspire and motivate people to move forwards and overcome adversity in their lives so that they can become themselves, Outstanding in life and Unstoppable with relationships. These events are from my personal, professional, and business life. Each chapter has an original quote for a chapter setter and are also written in first person language. I had people check my book over for legalities and to help with the editing and designing of my book.
When you say real story it may need lot of things to expose ? Did you really dare to bare ?
I absolutely did dare to bare. It is raw and heart felt book. I put countless time, passion and thought into authoring my book. I am not a writer that has much of an imagination, and I can only write from experience and from the heart. There is no better way to face your demons and confront your past than to write about it truthfully and learn from it.
Do you structure the flow of concept before writing or was it a sort of memoire?
I had something in mind before I began drafting my book as I had already authored articles on my life and published them on social media and got great reviews and comments on them. This was what built up my confidence in writing up to the point that I could draft my book on my own. I structured my book on my memories, thoughts, and lessons I gained throughout the 45 years of my life and the tools I used to get me through the traumatic events of my life. These tools ended up being put together to form my Holistic Health Support System that transformed my life and made me the success I am today.
As an author what was objective of writing the book ? Normally people would like to forget bad things and move on ?
As per the above my objective of writing my book is to inspire you as the reader to take action to overcome the traumatic experiences you have previously or are still experiencing in your life today by giving you the tools you need to overcome your fears, replace your limiting beliefs and empower you to live, stand in and speak your truth removing the societal and cultural masks that people wear every day to please others.
The experiences of my life will inspire people to create their own Holistic Health Support System which will strengthen and empower them to break free from the shackles of the past to become their truest form of themselves, Outstanding in life and Unstoppable with relationships. My book shows people that they are not alone in what they are going through and that they can make it through those time and that they should never to give up on themselves and their lives.
The Holistic Health Support System in my book is a guideline on the tools people can use to create a Holistic Health Support System that will strengthen and support them when going through turbulent times. It is not for the fainthearted who want a shortcut to changing their lives as it will take time, effort, and discipline to completely transform their lives, but it is well worth it.
How do you see the incidents behind your life ? Turning Point / Becoming What You are today ?
They taught me how to be tenacious and resilient and how to roll forward from turbulence and learn the lessons I need to so that I could break the repetitive negative cycles that were holding me back from success and making me miserable. They also taught me how to stand on my own two feet in life. I am now a successfully tenacious, resilient, intelligent woman who leads by example and coach’s others on how to stand, speak and live in their truth so that they can reach their true potential.
Anything that changed within you ? Do you see it as positive change ?
I learnt to be my truest self through the negative experiences. It took me a breakdown and hitting rock bottom with depression to realize I needed to transform my life holistically and I am glad I did. It also helped me develop my coaching framework the (HBFK) Hope, Belief, Faith, and Knowledge/trust model coaching framework which is unique to my coaching business.
These experiences led me down the path of self-exploration and personal development that helped me change my mind set to uncover the many hidden options and choices I would not have been able to uncover without having lived through them. I learnt through these experience that I am far more capable of doing things and that fear is a challenge/obstacle to overcome in life to make me a better person. My perspective on a lot of things in life changed because I went through the rough times and lived to learn the lessons and base my book on them.
Why will you recommend this book to readers ?
My book has a holistic health support system in it that is uniquely designed to get people through traumatic events so that they can develop the strength, tenacity and resilience needed to get through just about anything traumatic that life has thrown at them.
My book is a one stop shop as it includes a range of different traumatic events from my personal, professional, and business life and there is something in it for everyone. My Book is a combination of memoirs and holistic self-help chapters that will inspire and motivate people to act when they are feeling trapped or stuck in life with all these traumatic events happen to them. this book will show people going through these sorts of traumatic events that they are not alone and that you heal through sharing those experiences with others taking ownership of their lives and transforming their lives.
My book will inspire the readers to take ownership of their lives (decisions, thought, feelings, actions, and reaction) by giving them a unique perspective on their lives and who they are as people.
I would say my book has something in it for everyone!
Have you already started working on next book ? What is on your mind for it ?
I have already created the Dare To Be You – Gratitude Diary which people can sign up for free to download form my website.
I am completing my 2023 Wall calendar.
I plan to also divide my first book into two books one with the memoirs an the other with the self-help tools like a workbook. I have plans to create three different Dare To Be You quotes books in the future.
Any good tips about life challenges?
You must want to help yourself before anyone else can help you and this means taking action and not talking or thinking about it too much. To truly transform your life it takes time, money, and effort so you must be willing to invest in yourself and your future and to do what it takes to change.
Anything that you feel you need to express and reach out to the world about your experiences?
To truly be happy and successful in life you must never give up hope, always push through the traumatic events and obstacles that are put in your path. If I can get through these events on my own so, can you. If you feel you cannot, then reach out to me via my website for some coaching. Have three coaching programs and exclusive offers that can help you. I can also tailor a program to suit your needs. Nothing is too hard to overcome and move forward from if you have the correct tools (Holistic Health Support System) and mindset to aid and support you in moving forward.
True transformation is an internal job, and you must really want to change and do what it takes to change. If you do not change then your life will stay the same.
Here is a quote I created years ago that rings true
“Change your lifestyle before your lifestyle changes you “
There will never be a more perfect time than now to step outside your comfort zone and take action to transform your life. Your dream life is just around the corner if you believe in yourself and what you are capable of and can accomplish. We all have the power within us to change all it takes is that first step outside your comfort zone to be able to see that. Humans are remarkable in what we can do and get through when we put our minds to it believe in ourselves and take action. We are limitless what we can accomplish. Do you Dare To Be YOU NOW? If the answer is yes, then the first step is to buy my book.

Understanding Podcasting Microphones: An In-Depth Guide for Beginners and Professionals
Types of Podcasting Microphones
Dynamic Microphones
Dynamic microphones are the most popular choice for podcasting. They convert sound into electrical signals using a diaphragm, coil, and magnet. These microphones are robust, can handle high sound pressure levels, and require less gain than other types. This makes them excellent for capturing voices in less-than-ideal acoustic environments. The Shure SM7B and the Electro-Voice RE20 are industry standards among podcasters.
Condenser Microphones
Condenser microphones are sensitive and tend to capture a wider frequency range compared to dynamic microphones. They require phantom power to operate and are ideal for capturing subtle vocal nuances, making them great for voice work in studios. Notable condenser microphones include the Audio-Technica AT2020 and the Rode NT1-A, both widely admired for their clarity and depth.
Lavalier Microphones
Lavalier microphones, or lapel mics, are small, clip-on devices ideal for interviews and on-the-go recording. They ensure hands-free operations and are particularly useful for video podcasts. Wireless options add flexibility, allowing hosts to move freely during recordings. Popular choices include the Rode SmartLav+ and the Sennheiser ME 2-II.
USB Microphones
For those looking for simplicity and convenience, USB microphones are perfect. They connect directly to a computer without the need for additional equipment. While they may not deliver the same quality as XLR microphones, models like the Blue Yeti and the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB are excellent for beginners and home podcasters.
Important Features of Podcast Microphones
Frequency Response
Frequency response defines how a microphone reacts to different sound frequencies. Most voices fall within the 80Hz to 15kHz range, so a good podcasting microphone should adequately capture this spectrum. A flat frequency response is usually preferable, allowing for a more natural sound.
Polar Patterns
The polar pattern of a microphone determines its sensitivity in various directions. The most commonly used patterns are:
- Cardioid: Ideal for podcasting as it captures sound from the front while minimizing background noise.
- Omnidirectional: Captures sound from all directions, useful for roundtable discussions but picks up more ambient noise.
- Bidirectional: Captures sound from the front and rear, suitable for interviews between two people.
Sensitivity and Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
Sensitivity measures how effectively a microphone converts sound into an electrical signal. A higher sensitivity microphone captures softer sounds without requiring additional gain. Sound pressure level (SPL) measures how loud of a sound the microphone can handle without distortion. Choosing a mic with appropriate SPL ratings is crucial, especially in louder environments.
Essential Accessories for Podcasting Microphones
Pop Filters
Pop filters reduce plosive sounds (like “p” and “b” sounds) that can cause distortion. They are typically made of a screen or foam, which diffuses rapidly moving air before it hits the microphone diaphragm.
Microphone Stands and Boom Arms
Proper positioning is critical for optimal audio capture. Microphone stands and boom arms allow podcasters to adjust their microphone’s position easily while keeping hands free for notes or gestures.
Shock Mounts
Shock mounts prevent vibrations and handling noise from reaching the microphone, ensuring cleaner recordings. They are especially useful when recording in less controlled environments.
Audio Interfaces
For those using XLR microphones, an audio interface is necessary to convert the analog signal into digital for your computer. Popular models include the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the PreSonus AudioBox USB, which provide excellent sound quality and ease of use.
Tips for Choosing the Right Microphone
Define Your Needs
Consider your podcasting style. Are you recording solo, interviews, or panel discussions? The type of conversations you have will dictate your microphone choice.
Budget Considerations
While it’s easy to get carried away with high-end equipment, plenty of budget-friendly microphones offer excellent quality. Determine a budget that allows for good quality without breaking the bank.
Test Before You Buy
Whenever possible, test microphones in-store to find the sound that best suits your voice. Listening to the audio capture can significantly influence your decision.
Read Reviews and Watch Tutorials
Before investing, check online reviews and tutorials. Many YouTube channels offer in-depth sound tests and comparisons to help you make informed choices.
Maintenance and Care for Podcasting Microphones
To extend the lifespan of your microphone, regular maintenance is vital. Here are some key maintenance tips:
- Keep it Clean: Dust and saliva can accumulate and affect sound quality. Use a soft cloth to wipe down your microphone regularly.
- Use Windscreens: For outdoor recording, use a windscreen to prevent wind interference and protect the mic from moisture.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your microphone in a protective case to prevent physical damage.
Enhancing Your Podcasting Experience
Investing in a good microphone is just the beginning. To fully get the most out of your podcasting experience, include thorough planning, effective editing software, and quality recording space. An acoustically treated room, for example, can significantly reduce background noise and enhance vocal clarity.
Understanding the nuances of podcasting microphones will empower you to make informed decisions that improve your production quality. Armed with the right microphone and accessories, you can deliver a rich audio experience, engage your audience, and elevate your podcasting journey to new heights.
From the BalleBalleRadio Entertainment Desk
Manoj Bajpayee, a celebrated actor known for his powerful performances, has recently voiced his concerns regarding the pervasive influence of PR machinery within Bollywood. Bajpayee argues that the industry’s increasing focus on public relations often overshadows genuine acting talent, leading to a skewed perception of success and merit.
Bajpayee’s comments come amidst ongoing debates about the phenomenon of ‘National Crush’ titles and the superficiality of fame. He suggests that such manufactured hype can be detrimental to the careers of trained actors who dedicate themselves to the craft, but may not possess the resources or inclination for extensive self-promotion.
He emphasized the importance of acting prowess over PR stunts, highlighting the potential humiliation faced by actors who have honed their skills through rigorous training, only to be sidelined by individuals prioritizing media visibility. Bajpayee’s own career, alongside that of fellow actor Piyush Mishra, serves as an example of sustained success built on consistent, quality performances rather than fleeting PR campaigns.
