In this milestone 10th episode of Be Visible with Veronica, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur and business strategist Colleen Biggs — a woman who’s launched over 340 businesses and continues to redefine what leadership looks like.

Colleen is the co-owner of Beyond Basil Mobile Pizzeria and Phoenix Drone Pros, a first-degree Black Belt (yes, really!), and the founder of Empower and Elevate, a dynamic conference for female entrepreneurs. With deep roots in business development and franchising, her passion lies in building successful businesses and helping others do the same through clarity, confidence, and strategic growth.

We talk about:

How to grow with your business (not just in it)

What launching hundreds of businesses taught her about leadership

The power of community through her platforms: Lead Up for Women and The Leap Community

How she’s blending heart and hustle to elevate others

Colleen was recently honored with the Female Business Builder of the Year Award by NAWBO Phoenix and continues to champion women in business with bold, unapologetic action.

🎧 Tune in and share with a woman who’s ready to trade burnout for purpose and paycheck for possibility.

What if your business could outlive you?

When Green Living Magazine was just an idea, Dorie Morales saw more than pages and print; she saw a movement. A mission. A way to leave the world better than she found it.

In this powerful episode, Dorie shares how she:
Took a leap of faith into eco-conscious publishing
Bought out her original business partner
Built Arizona’s #1 sustainability magazine from scratch
Said YES to her moonshot: making Green Living a national (and global!) platform

However, this is more than just a business story—it's about legacy through leadership.

We dive deep into:

• 
  The entrepreneurial moment she trusted her gut and said YES

• 
  The real story behind launching and sustaining a media brand for 15+ years

• 
  How one Earth Day event packed with legislators and change-makers lit a fire for even bigger impact

• 
  Why visibility isn’t about vanity—it’s about service, sustainability, and future generations

This is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, mission-driven women, and anyone building something that matters.

In this deeply moving episode of Be Visible™ with Veronica, I sit down with Tammie Webb, co-founder of OCJ Kids, a powerful nonprofit rooted in dignity, faith, and service. Tammie shares the extraordinary journey she and her husband, Gary, have walked — from youth pastors to national advocates for children in foster care— guided by nothing more than a “yes” and a God-sized vision.

Every fourth episode of Be Visible with Veronica highlights a nonprofit or mission-driven leader because visibility isn’t just for profit; it’s also for purpose.

Whether you're a nonprofit leader, a business owner with heart, or someone looking to make a difference, this episode will move you.

We dive into:

• 
  The early days of OCJ Kids and how one small act of compassion grew into a global ripple.

• 
  What a "Dignity Room" is and why a fresh pair of pajamas can change a child's life.

• 
  The life-changing Adulting Summit and how a donated suit transformed one teen’s future.

• 
  Healing doesn’t just come from program, it comes from people who see you.

• 
  How their new facility will quadruple impact and create a sacred space for caseworkers, youth, and foster families.

Plus, Tammie shares how you—yes, YOU—can make a difference. Whether you’re a business owner, volunteer, or someone who just wants to give back, OCJ Kids is creating tangible, lasting change with heart and purpose.

If you’ve ever felt the nudge to do more, this conversation will light that fire.

What do you do when life forces you to evolve?

In this powerful episode of Be Visible with Veronica, I sit down with my friend and client Marisa Maggio-Harelson. She is a former news journalist who left a high-profile TV career to become a mission-driven entrepreneur in the wellness and network marketing world. What led her there? The unexpected passing of her mom, motherhood, a hunger for freedom, and a deep call to inspire change.

This is more than a reinvention story — it’s about what’s possible when you stop asking for permission, release other people’s expectations, and follow your divine spark.

We talk about:
Designing a life that aligns with your purpose
The truth about network marketing—and why it is entrepreneurship
Healing generational scarcity mindsets and choosing abundance
Why yoga, breathwork, and service are Marisa’s daily non-negotiables
Her new chapter in the Six Figure Chick anthology

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this all there is?”— this one’s for you.

In this special Father’s Day episode, I sit down with my dad, Vince Alfaro, an 80-year-old retired executive, voracious reader, and proud father of two entrepreneurial daughters (and now a granddaughter too).

We talk about what it was like raising fiercely independent daughters, the values he instilled in us, and his perspective on leadership, learning, and living a full life. From Stoic philosophy to entrepreneurial grit, this conversation is filled with wisdom, warmth, and a few laughs.

🎙 This week’s nonprofit spotlight: Broken Arrow Wranglers

This week, we’re featuring a story of vision, faith, and fierce mission. My guest is Kaleigh Rogers, founder of Broken Arrow Wranglers — a nonprofit created to bring healing, purpose, and freedom to those navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and disconnection from community.

What started as a vision in the desert has grown into a grassroots movement that combines equine therapy, co-op community building, and radical connection, all grounded in faith and a deep desire to restore what the world keeps trying to fracture.

We talk about:

The origin story of Broken Arrow Wranglers

Why healing through horses and honest connection works

What it means to build a collective outpost of freedom in a world under pressure

How faith, grit, and practical systems are fueling the nonprofit’s 2024 expansion

But this episode is also about the bigger picture…

💔 The Mental Health Crisis We’re Facing:
1 in 5 people in the U.S. experiences mental illness

40.8% report symptoms of anxiety or depression

Over half don’t receive treatment (35.3% due to cost)

1 person in the U.S. dies by suicide every 11 minutes
