In this episode of Midlife Unmuted™, I sat down with coach, faith leader, and merch creator Sheya Chisenga to talk about what it really looks like to rise, be seen, and show up for yourself and your community—on camera and beyond—when you’re no longer interested in chasing trends or sacrificing your peace.

Sheya’s story is a masterclass in permission: permission to move between entrepreneurship and employment when you need stability, permission to launch something new (even with a day job), and permission to tell the truth about the real work behind a purpose-led business.

Share

👋 Who is Sheya Chisenga?

Known as the Woman Christian CEO, Sheya is a coach, author, and faith leader who’s spent a decade building a movement that helps women of faith create businesses anchored in purpose—not pressure. With her signature RISE framework now inspiring a line of limited-edition merch (including her “Grace” bag), Sheya is a model for showing up authentically, embracing your season, and using video to foster real connection.

🎙️ Inside this conversation:

• Why “job shaming” is a myth—and how Sheya blends her corporate role with her thriving coaching business (without apology)

• The signs it’s time to pivot (and why walking away can be just as brave as going all in)

• How video content fueled Sheya’s visibility and deepened her community—no fancy studio required

• The role of faith, timing, and trusting your gut—whether you’re launching a product or pressing “go live”

• A behind-the-scenes look at Sheya’s new merchandise line, and the creative process that started with a prayer (and a little help from ChatGPT)

• How comparison and perfectionism keep women stuck—and why Sheya’s mantra is now “release”

• If you’ve been holding your breath waiting for the “right” moment (or chasing what worked for someone else), take this as your invitation to exhale.

Sheya’s challenge for you?

🎯 Release one thing this week that’s weighing you down—whether it’s comparison, unrealistic expectations, or the pressure to show up perfectly online. Free up space for what’s really yours.

✨ Key Takeaway:

Real visibility begins when you stop performing and start telling the truth—about your season, your needs, and your story.

Even if that means you build in sprints and rest in between.

Midlife Unmuted™ is the limited series for service-driven folks over 40—hosted by Tanya Smith—spotlighting the mindset shifts, visibility strategies, and honest stories that help you grow past the algorithm.

This week on Midlife Unmuted™, I sat down with Sherry Sutton: personal branding mentor, self-described “awkward dork,” and founder of a new video podcast studio just north of Dallas. Sherry’s special talent? Helping service-driven creators over 40 stop hiding behind polished facades and finally show up—with their quirks, nervous giggles, and even that stubborn spinach in their teeth.

Every episode, we pull back the curtain on reinvention after 40, but this one goes deeper on the messy, unfiltered side of building a meaningful brand… one authentic video at a time.

👋 Who is Sherry Sutton?

Sherry is a personal branding coach and podcast studio owner with a knack for mining the real story behind the “about” page.

🎙️ Inside this conversation:

• The truth about confidence (and why even “put-together” folks feel like dorks)

• How to find the message that others need—and that feels true to you

• Why messy, imperfect video might be your greatest visibility advantage

• Sherry’s approach to video content for midlife creators (hint: perfection is out, showing up is in)

• Mindset shifts for content creators who feel “too old,” tech-phobic, or stuck on the sidelines

• Stories from behind the scenes: falling down stairs, food in your teeth, and what happens when you post anyway

If you’ve ever delayed sharing your story because you don’t feel ready, perfect, or “expert” enough—consider this your official nudge to go for it.

Sherry’s challenge for you?

🎯 Make one imperfect video this week. Don’t rewatch or fix. Post it—or don’t. The win is in showing up, flaws and all.

✨ Key Takeaway:

You can’t make the difference you’re here to make by waiting in the wings. Imperfect, “dorky” action beats silent perfection every time—especially after 40.

You’re never too late, too tech-averse, or too awkward to unmute your voice.

• How he creates safe and brave spaces for guests to share vulnerable stories, even ones they’ve never told before

• What it looks like to adapt and evolve (from audio to video, from tech newbie to trusted mentor), including learning how to ask for help—and delegate

• Tips for keeping live conversations engaging, authentic, and manageable (even when the topics are complex or emotions run high)

If you’re tired of scripted exchanges or chasing vanity metrics—and you want to use video to create actual impact, not just noise—this one’s for you.

Dr. Vibe’s challenge for you: 🎯

Before your next meeting, live stream, or call—pause for 15 minutes. Shut everything off. Center yourself. Ask: “How can I be fully present and make this conversation matter for the other person?” Notice how it shifts your energy (and theirs).

You don’t need the perfect script or fancy gear. The ability to hold space, listen deeply, and treat people with genuine respect leaves a lasting impression—online or off.

You can build something significant—one real conversation at a time.

Now, he’s the go-to guide for service-driven folks who are ready to amplify their message, pick their own clients, and stay true to their values.

• What happens when you keep editing out all the “ums” and imperfections—and why the polished version might actually break trust

• Simple, starter-friendly tips for non-techies (and why your first videos probably “won’t be good”—and why that’s okay)

• Chris’s favorite accessible tools (including Descript), and how to use live streaming as a foundation for all your repurposed content

Midlife Unmuted™ is a series on Stream Like a Boss® TV for business creators over 40 who want to grow sustainably with video. Every episode brings you candid stories, actionable ideas, and real talk about visibility, confidence, and reinvention—on your terms.

In this thoughtful episode of Midlife Unmuted™, I connected with Jim Fuhs—retired Marine, veterans advocate, and remote livestream producer—about what it truly means to be unmuted in midlife.

Share

Jim didn’t start out as a fan of video (far from it, in fact), but over the past several years he’s pushed every comfort zone: getting on camera, co-hosting a weekly show, launching a Substack, and stepping out from behind the scenes. Now, he’s committed to helping others—especially those over 40—find their own voice, visibility, and value through both live video and writing.

So if you’ve worried it’s “too late” to get started, or felt like your voice doesn’t fit, Jim’s story is straight-up proof that you have more to offer—and more options—than you think.

👋 Who is Jim Fuhs?

Jim Fuhs is a retired Marine lieutenant colonel turned veterans advocate, livestream producer, and co-founder of “Dealcasters” on Amazon Live. Through Fusion Marketing and collaborations with partners like Chris Stone, he guides creators, business owners, and organizations in embracing on-camera content—even if they’ve never felt “techy” or “camera-ready.”

Jim’s also an emerging voice on Substack, where he brings together his love of video, writing, and community for a multimedia approach to sharing wisdom and helping others be seen.

• 🔗 Be Relatable Pro: https://berelatable.pro

🎙️ Inside this conversation:

Jim’s winding road from military leadership to discovering the potential of live video (and some accidental breakthroughs along the way)

• Real talk about why midlife creators hesitate to get on camera—imposter feelings, fear of being “too old,” tech intimidation, and how to actually get past it

• The power of “putting in the reps”—and why no one expects you to have it all figured out on day one (hint: delete, redo, repeat)

• Why video isn’t just for younger, trend-driven creators—plus the unique legacy midlife voices can leave for families and future learners

• Ways to use platforms like Substack to share both video and writing, and build a space that feels like you—even if you don’t follow all the SEO rules

• A peek behind the scenes at Be Relatable Pro: creating quick, interactive videos that build connection and proof, not just noise

If you’ve ever pressured yourself to “just get over it,” or waited for video to feel easier before you start—this episode will change the way you look at being visible.

Jim’s challenge for you? 🎯

Record a short video this week, just talking to one person (even if that person is you in the reflection!). Don’t focus on being polished—just share something you know. Bonus: Try showing it to a friend or family member and ask them what stands out.

✨ Key Takeaway:

Visibility in midlife isn’t about fitting someone else’s mold—it’s about sharing the knowledge, stories, and lived experience that only you can bring. You don’t need a huge audience to make an impact. Start by speaking up—camera on or off.

Rooting for your voice (and legacy), Tanya

Looking for Regina? Find her at reginarobinsonspeaks.com and on all social platforms as ReginaRobinsonSpeaks.

✨ Inside this conversation:

Why Regina says “It’s okay to have more than one gift”—and how to stop shrinking to fit what other people expect

• Faith and confidence: How Regina’s spiritual journey reshaped her approach to business and on-camera visibility (and what it means to be “unshakable”)

• Her surprisingly honest take on self-doubt and imposter syndrome—and why the real risk isn’t failing, but never finding out what’s possible

• What actually changed in midlife (hint: it’s about volume and boldness, not just age)

• The origin story behind Unstoppable Woman on the Move—and why your story needs to be heard, even if you feel intimidated by the camera

• Regina’s best advice for showing up online (it’s friendlier than you think—and you don’t have to be perfect to be effective)

If you’ve ever dimmed your light to make others more comfortable, or felt like you can’t “compete” with everyone online, Regina’s story is your permission slip to stop playing small.

Regina’s challenge for you? 🎯

Give yourself permission to take up space—on camera, in your business, in your life. This week, try showing up online (or in person) with one thing you usually hold back—whether that’s your voice, your story, or simply speaking up a little louder. Notice what shifts.

✨ Key Takeaway:

True confidence isn’t about waiting until everything feels perfect—or quieting yourself to keep the peace. It’s about showing up as the real, sometimes messy, fully gifted version of you…and trusting that’s exactly what someone else needs to see.

Cheers to being a little (or a lot) louder this season, Tanya

This week on Midlife Unmuted™, I’m talking with founder of powwows.com and a longtime digital community builder who proves it’s never too late to show up, stand for something, and lead with heart. Paul’s been cultivating loyal audiences and celebrating Native American culture online for nearly three decades—long before “community” was a buzzword—using livestreams, video, and consistent, values-forward content, all while juggling family, work, and a not-so-secret Disney obsession.

Paul’s story? It’ll make you rethink everything you assume about slow growth, showing your true self online, and the myth that visibility is all about flashy trends or overnight wins.

👋 Who is Paul Gowder?

Paul is the founder of powwows.com—a platform that’s been connecting people and spotlighting Native culture and stories for nearly 30 years. He’s a family man, travel enthusiast, self-professed Disney fan, and, after 25 years in IT and public service, now a full-time content creator and coach.

• How Paul built and sustained powwows.com for almost 30 years—and why “showing up as yourself” is at the core of everything he does

• Simple strategies for growing an intentional online community (even if you’re not trying to “be the face”)

• The truth about email: how Paul uses story-driven, sequenced emails to turn casual fans into devoted subscribers (and why your list matters more than your follower count)

• Balancing personal and professional: why weaving in your real-life passions helps you stand out and build trust, even as you grow your business

• Lessons from livestreaming cultural events with respect and integrity (and keeping the tech simple—even back in the days of FireWire cables!)

There’s so much permission in this episode to build something slow, meaningful, and uniquely yours—no hopping on every trend required.

Paul’s challenge for you? 🎯

Pick one thing you love—whether it’s a story, a life lesson, or a personal interest—and share it in your next email or video, just as you are. Not the “business version” of you, but the person your friends know.

✨ Key Takeaway:

Sustainable visibility isn’t about going viral—it’s about consistency, purpose, and caring for your community as much as your craft.

Let yourself take up space, even if you’re late to the party—you might just inspire someone else to do the same.
