    Ep. 65: Owe The IRS? Get Help from IRS Insiders
    Nov 9 2026
    🚨 Owe money to the IRS? Before you ignore that next letter, watch this interview. What happens when two former IRS revenue officers decide to use their insider knowledge to help the very people they once pursued for unpaid taxes? In Episode 65 of True Voice Unfiltered, host Daria Anne DiGiovanni welcomes Robert and Felix of Falcon Tax Resolution Group, two former IRS professionals who have traded tax enforcement for taxpayer advocacy. With decades of experience navigating the IRS from the inside, Robert and Felix explain why taxpayers and small business owners often find themselves overwhelmed by tax debt, penalties, interest, and confusing government notices—and why ignoring the problem can make everything worse. They also share remarkable real-life cases, including: 💰 More than $200,000 in IRS debt settled for just $100. Discover how a hardworking man overwhelmed by tax debt received a life-changing resolution through an accepted Offer in Compromise. ⚖️ A woman facing a $270,000 tax bill she didn't owe. Learn how an incorrectly reported personal injury settlement and years of unanswered IRS notices created a financial nightmare. ⛪ A church facing serious payroll tax problems. Hear how a nonprofit's tax filing mistakes threatened its ability to continue serving vulnerable people in its community. ❤️ A father who withdrew retirement savings to care for his seriously ill daughter. Discover how the circumstances surrounding his financial hardship helped support a more affordable tax settlement. Robert and Felix also explain: ✅ Why you should never ignore an IRS notice ✅ What an IRS Offer in Compromise really means—and why not everyone qualifies ✅ Why the burden of proving your case often falls on you, the taxpayer ✅ How incorrect information and inexperienced representation can complicate tax problems ✅ Why understanding IRS procedures matters just as much as understanding tax law ✅ How Falcon investigates tax problems and develops individualized resolution strategies ✅ What small business owners and self-employed professionals should know about IRS tax debt ✅ Why reputable tax resolution professionals should never guarantee a particular outcome The biggest takeaway? Owing the IRS doesn't mean you're out of options. But understanding your situation, gathering the facts, and getting experienced guidance can make an enormous difference. Whether you're an individual taxpayer, entrepreneur, small business owner, or nonprofit leader, this conversation could help you better understand your rights, responsibilities, and potential options. 🦅 Connect with Falcon Tax Resolution Group Website: https://www.falcontaxrelief.com Visit their website to learn more about their services and request an initial conversation.

  • Ep. 62 Thrive Through the Holidays with Jen Germain

    Ep. 62 Thrive Through the Holidays with Jen Germain
    Oct 19 2026
    How do you thrive through the holidays without feeling deprived, stressed, or as though one indulgent meal has ruined all the progress you've made? Certified Functional Nutritionist Jen Germain returns to True Voice Unfiltered for a special holiday episode about enjoying the season while still being mindful of your health. Jen knows firsthand what it means to transform your health. After being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in 2020, she began her own healing journey and eventually became a functional medicine health coach. As Jen says, her experience showed her that "when we give our bodies the things that we need, it can heal." In this episode, we talk about practical ways to manage holiday meals, parties, alcohol, cravings, and stress without total restriction. One of Jen's strategies is the "pie graph plate": make about 80% of your plate healthy and protein-focused while leaving 20% for the holiday foods you genuinely enjoy. "It doesn't have to be rigid." We also discuss: 🎄Going into holiday meals with a gratitude mindset 🫂Prioritizing experiences and social connections instead of making everything about food 🍲Finding out what's on the menu before attending a holiday gathering 🥘Bringing a dish you can eat to share with all 🥮"Take a bite, but then you rest" when indulging 🚶🏻‍♀️Going on a short walk after your meal 🍷Being conscious of alcohol & how the body processes it 🪜Remembering, "It's about progress. It's not about perfection."

    Ep. 60 Health Is Local: Food, Toxins & Root Causes of Chronic Illness | Angela Jenkins, RD, LD
    Oct 5 2026
    What if you're doing everything you've been told is "right" for your health, but the food you're eating, the products you're using, and even the environment around you are silently sabotaging your health? Registered and licensed dietitian Angela Jenkins spent decades working within conventional healthcare before ultimately walking away from the system. After years with one foot in conventional care and the other in holistic health, she became increasingly frustrated with a model that focuses on managing symptoms instead of asking the most relevant question: What's causing the problem in the first place? In this episode of True Voice Unfiltered, Angela joins Daria to discuss food transparency, toxic burden, inflammation, detoxification, functional medicine, fasting, exercise, sunlight, sleep, and why supporting local food producers may be one of the simplest ways to take greater control of your health.

  • Ep. 59: Down Syndrome Awareness Month & Ralph's Legacy

    Ep. 59: Down Syndrome Awareness Month & Ralph's Legacy
    Sep 28 2026

    October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

    Imagine this: It's 1959. You're a 28 year-old mother who has just delivered a baby through a traumatic precipitous birth. They congratulate you on your "beautiful blond bundle of fluff." Then when you're alone in your hospital room, a doctor you've never met walks in and callously tells you that your newborn son will be like a tree trunk, unable to do anything but stand there, because he was born with Down syndrome. His advice? Put him in an institution, so he doesn't become a "stigma" to your family. After all, your husband is embarking on a career as a medical doctor.

    That's what happened to my mother after giving birth to her second-born child. But in a courageous act that would have ripple effects through generations, she promptly rejected him and his advice. Together with my dad and the rest of the family, she helped Ralph reach his full potential.

    The result? He lived a full, happy, productive life that included special education, a full-time job, WWE matches, movies, ballroom dancing, vacations, social events, parties…and plenty of love.

    Episode 59 celebrates Ralph's legacy and offers genuine hope for parents raising children with Down Syndrome. It features interviews with his mother, Rose DiGiovanni, siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

  • Ep. 58 Menopause: More Than Just Hormones | Dr. Christina Enzmann,

    Ep. 58 Menopause: More Than Just Hormones | Dr. Christina Enzmann,
    Sep 21 2026
    Did you know that menopause involves much more than declining hormones? In Episode 58, Dr. Christina Enzmann, a gynecologist, menopause specialist, and functional medicine practitioner, reveals what happens to a woman's body during perimenopause and menopause — and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be only one piece of the puzzle. Hot flashes may get most of the attention, but many women struggle with unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, gut issues, heart palpitations, mood changes, and a body that suddenly seems to stop responding to the diet and exercise strategies that worked for decades. Dr. Enzmann explains why menopause is more than a hormonal event. It's also a neuroendocrine and metabolic transition that can expose underlying issues involving blood sugar, insulin resistance, cortisol, inflammation, gut health, thyroid function, environmental toxins, nutrition, and mitochondrial health. In this Episode: 🔹 Why Dr. Enzmann individualizes HRT, instead of treating it as a one-size-fits-all solution 🔹 What you reasonably can and cannot expect menopausal hormone therapy to address 🔹 Why fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and poor sleep may have underlying causes beyond estrogen deficiency 🔹 The surprising connection between blood sugar, insulin resistance, and hot flashes 🔹 How poor sleep can disrupt blood sugar regulation and contribute to a vicious cycle of metabolic dysfunction 🔹 Why eating less and exercising harder often backfires for women in midlife 🔹 How excessive cardio, under-eating, and chronic stress can place additional stress on the midlife body 🔹 Why functional medicine examines thyroid health, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, inflammation, cortisol, gut health, nutrient status, and hormone metabolism 🔹 How gut health and inflammation may influence the way your body processes estrogen 🔹 Why nutrition is foundational — and what Dr. Enzmann means by eating a plant-forward diet 🔹 The role caffeine, alcohol, hydration, environmental toxins, and everyday lifestyle choices play in menopause symptoms 🔹 Why strength training and preserving muscle become increasingly important during midlife 🔹 How a personalized functional medicine protocol can help women understand the root causes of their symptoms instead of simply accepting them as an inevitable part of aging If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still don't feel like yourself — or if you've tried hormones, dieting, exercising harder, or pushing through your symptoms without getting the results you expected — this conversation offers a different way to think about your midlife health.

  • Episode 57: THE NEW WE, Stacy McKay

    Episode 57: THE NEW WE, Stacy McKay
    Sep 14 2026
    Can we disagree without becoming enemies? In Episode 57 of True Voice Unfiltered, Daria Anne welcomes bestselling author and award-winning entrepreneur Stacy McKay to discuss her thought-provoking young adult novel, The New We: Politics Is a Childish Game — and the powerful lessons it offers about belonging, empathy, authenticity, political polarization, social media, and learning how to think instead of being told what to think. After spending much of her career in international education and intercultural communication, Stacy witnessed firsthand what happens when people step outside their familiar worlds and encounter different cultures, beliefs, and perspectives. Those experiences formed the central idea behind The New We: We don't have to agree with one another to understand, respect, or belong with one another. In a culture increasingly divided into opposing camps, Stacy challenges readers to question the pressure to choose a side, conform to a group, and view anyone who disagrees as the enemy. In This Episode: 🔹 Why exposure to different cultures and perspectives can dismantle stereotypes 🔹 How The New We explores the powerful human desire to belong 🔹 Why Stacy believes empathy does not mean agreement 🔹 How political polarization and "us versus them" thinking can pull friends and communities apart 🔹 Why young people need to learn how to think — not what to think 🔹 How social media, algorithms, filters, and echo chambers can influence our perception of reality 🔹 Why changing your mind when you receive new information signals growth, not weakness 🔹 How young people can develop an authentic voice amid constant digital noise 🔹 Why Stacy intentionally created flawed characters with very different perspectives without telling readers who is "right" or "wrong" 🔹 How fiction helps readers step into someone else's shoes and develop empathy 🔹 Why Stacy chose independent publishing rather than changing her book to "pick a side" 🔹 How schools, classrooms, families, and book clubs can use The New We to spark meaningful conversations 🔹 What Stacy has learned about becoming an author and marketing an independently published book Connect with Stacy McKay 🌐 Website: https://stacymckay.com 📗Purchase The New We: Politics is a Childish Game https://www.amazon.com/New-We-Politics-Childish-Game/dp/1966747004/ Visit Michelle Kulp's Website, Bestselling Author Program: https://bestsellingauthorprogram.com/ Download Daria's FREE Guide, Authority on Autopilot: How Busy Professionals Can Publish a Book without Writing a Single Word: https://truevoicewritingservices.com/resource/ Schedule a FREE 30-minute Discovery Call with Daria to Discuss Your Book or Content Strategy: https://truevoicewritingservices.com/contact/ About True Voice Unfiltered True Voice Unfiltered explores the healing power of storytelling and the courage it takes to stand up for the truth in a world that seems to prefer compliance.
