Wake Up & Show Up: Recent Episodes
Portia Scott Media
Hello Darlings! The podcast is a collection of inspiring and empowering interviews and stories that weave together life's pivotal moments and the decisions made to show up and impact humanity one person at a time. Each week you will hear from me or a house guest as we discuss how to show up intentionally and make an impact along the way. Real People. Real Stories. Real Impact.
NOT SO RANDOM.
Have you ever considered that the most pivotal moments in life might not be as random as they seem?
On December 31st, New Years Eve, I will celebrate 18 years of marriage to my husband, John Henry Scott III. This episode is dedicated to him. I hope this episode inspires you to breathe in deeply and acknowledge the encounters in your life that are anything but random. The extraordinary can often masquerade as mundance moments and encounters that have the potential to profoundly shape our lives. As you listen, I urge you to recognize and cherish the not so random threads in your own life.
Thanks for listening.

WITH GRATITUDE. Have you ever considered the tremendous power of gratitude? Join me, on a journey through my own moments of gratitude, sketched out in my private notebooks and etched in my heart. Together, we will wander through the realm of gratitude, exploring how it ties our most cherished memories together, providing a gentle reminder of experiences we cannot relive but will always remember.
Gratitude, as we will uncover, is far from a simple, fleeting feeling—it is the invisible thread that connects humanity, silently shared yet deeply felt. From your first date to the birth of your child, or even a seemingly ordinary moment that left you breathless, we will discover how gratitude offers a respite in the whirlwind of emotions that life throws at us. So, settle down and grab your coffee, as we find gratitude in all the ordinary and extraordinary moments that make up our lives.
Thanks for listening.

DAILY DECISION.
Have you ever considered the seasons of your life? Life has its summers and its winters, and sometimes, it’s in the depths of those colder seasons that we need to remind ourselves of the warmth. Gratitude might seem simple, but it holds the power to reshape our perspectives and help us carry through the toughest times.
This episode is about finding joy and gratitude in every season, and remembering the good even when it seems like it’s hidden. So, settle down and grab your coffee, as we find gratitude in all the ordinary and extraordinary moments that make up our lives.
Thanks for listening.

I CHOOSE TO LIVE. There are some books that touch your heart in a very special way. The message just stays with you. Letshego's memoir of her late husband Gugulethu Zulu was one of those books for me. I knew after I finished the final page that I wanted to have her on my podcast. One of the quotes in her book is "If Not, Why Not". I later learned that this is the quote that prompted her to say yes to being a houseguest on the podcast. Letshego takes us on a journey of adventure, love, loss and her decision to choose life even after losing her husband. The book teaches us how to be resilient after loss; the loss of a loved one, a job, a business, a dream or whatever the loss is that we are experiencing.
We want to give away this book to 5 listeners. If you want a copy of this book all you have to do is leave a review, take a screenshot and dm me on Instagram @iamportiascott.
We need your help to help 1250 girls stay in school during their monthly cycles by donating to Caring4Girls.

WE ARE TIRED. In this bonus episode I had an open and honest conversation about the heartbreak of so many African Americans when we see yet another man or woman shot for just being black. On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was killed for #runningwhileblack. This episode is a letter from a black mama to America.

CHEMISTRY. This week's episode was recorded live during our daily show, Wake Up & Show Up Live. In the midst of everything that is going on in the world, I wanted to bring a little reprieve with a love story that was created in the middle of the desert in Iraq during war. Every now and then we find ourselves in hard, uncomfortable and confusing situations but you never know what can be birthed during these times.

We have an open and honest conversation about what this year has meant, how I have managed to keep going and what we are hoping to continue to build. This one is very special to me and I hope you enjoy it.

ALLIES. In this week's episode, I talk to our resident co-host John Henry Scott about how men can support women in the workplace. We recorded this episode right after International Women's Day but then COVID-19 rearranged our life. We all need someone at the table that represents the majority and will fight for us. This episode is a much-needed conversation.

LABOR PAINS. In this week's episode I talk about what I would say to 17-year-old Portia. While my mother was looking through old stuff she found a pay stub from December 18, 1996. I tried hard to remember the emotions from that day, even that time period, and I couldn't. We have tough moments and seasons but they don't last forever and sometimes we even forget what the pain felt like.

WHY? Today's episode is what I like to call an Espresso Shot. It's a candid conversation with a good friend, snuggled on a couch having a nice cup of Ethiopian coffee. Pull up close because you are going to want to hear this one. I have a very candid conversation about "Why Do People Stay?". I don't have the answers but I do hope to shed a little light on what it is like and maybe answer the question of why people stay in bad relationships.

IT'S A NEW DECADE. In today’s episode I am sharing my words for 2020 and the lessons learned from an amazing yet uncomfortable 2019. Every now and then people need something to motivate them. They need to know that it’s okay to be excited and plan and want to shift in their lives. I’m cheering you on friends as you lie in the dark having these thoughts but don’t want to say it out loud because you don’t want to get dragged when your motivation gives out. We are not just planning for a new year but a new decade.

I FOUND GRACE! In this week's episode I talk about being a teenager with a messy room. Obviously my messy room is a metaphor for the messiness of life. What happens when you are the one not only stuck in the mess but the one that made the mess? I open up about a time in my life when I had to lean on love and grace to clean up the mess in my life. This is one you don't want to miss.

I BELONG HERE. I am back from my 10-day holiday to South Africa and I am still jet-lagged. Since we have returned, John Henry and I have spent time telling our friends and family about the trip and answering as many questions as possible. What better way to answer the questions with one shot than to put it in a podcast episode. I could literally talk about Johannesburg all day but the most beautiful part of our holiday was the people.

SEEDS OF GREATNESS. I am off preparing for a 10-day vacation to South Africa where it all started. Sitting in my place is our resident houseguest, John Henry Scott III. This week's episode was inspired by a quote by the incomparable Langston Hughes - "Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." We all contain seeds of greatness, seeds of uniqueness and significance inside of us but it is our responsibility to allow those seeds to be watered. Without rain, what is invested will not come to fruition. Listen as John gives us acrostics for the words 'rain' and 'sing' that will help us understand the importance of allowing our seeds to be watered.

I'M NOT GOING IF YOU DON'T GO! In this episode, I talk about a conversation with my 6-year-old son that made me look at options differently. We all have options. We can take what is handed to us, change our perspective or create another option. A simple field trip to the Georgia Aquarium made me appreciate the option that I chose.

FEAR MAKES DECISIONS! In the beginning of this episode, I talk about being grateful for laughter. Then we turn our sights on the roommate that lives with us rent free. We all have fears but have we allowed those fears to take residence and space in our minds, stifle our creativity and cripple our progress?

PARENT YOUR WAY. We are tackling parent bashing. No more bashing, no more negative narratives and no more unrealistic expectations. Parenting is one of the most rewarding opportunities we get in life, but it's not always easy. We all need a reminder that we are doing a good job. In this episode I discuss 5 parenting lessons:
- You don’t have to be a biological parent to have kids.
- Parenting is not one-size-fits-all.
- Parenting is one of the hardest things.
- Parenting is one of life's most rewarding opportunities.
- PARENT YOUR WAY!

BE THERE BEFORE YOU GET THERE! How many times have we changed or redirected our wants because of the negative narratives in our own heads or the opinions of others? Sometimes you have to see yourself in your future.
In this episode we talk about getting to the core of what we want. What does it look like when we make a decision to do what we really want? Is it about the outcome or the lessons along the way?

YOU ARE ENOUGH! What would you do if you had no recollection of other people's opinions of you? You would likely rule the world. Or maybe throw on a bikini. Either way, our perception of ourselves is the most vital opinion.
In this episode, I pull the covers back on my own struggles with accepting myself and how it turned into control and perfectionism.

MOMENTS MATTER. While on vacation in Tulum, Mexico celebrating my 40th birthday, my husband John and I talk about the culture of our marriage. All relationships have a culture whether intentional or not. The way you talk to each other, the way you respond to conflict, the unspoken expectations - all of that is culture.
EXPOSURE OPENS IMAGINATION. This episode is a special one because I am turning 40 next week and I wanted to do a series that speaks to the small steps we take today that change our tomorrow. One of the lessons I have learned is to look at people as humans. It is this simple act that allows us to open our minds to different experiences, different innovation and endless possibilities.
Exposure opens your imagination but we can't do it staying within our own bubbles. I know it's comforting to stay where we look, think and act like the people around us but if we want to see real innovation, expansion and imagine beyond what we see, it takes exposure.

GO BACK TO THE STARTING LINE. We all have those days when we question whether or not what we are doing matters. It is in these moments that we need to go back to the proverbial starting line and ask the question, WHY? These moments happen to all of us but it is in these moments when we have to make a decision to go forward even in the midst of adversity.
In this episode, I talk about how I had to go back to my own starting line. We all need a reminder that even though we skin our knees, we can still keep going. It's taking those small steps even if you have to start crawling that matters.
What is your WHY? Let's talk about it on Instagram.
MONEY IS ADIAPHOROUS. In this episode I sit down with our second houseguest, Derrell Mitchell. Not only is Derrell a great friend of mine and the executive producer of my podcast, he is also a corporate finance professional with over 16 years of experience. Although he's more comfortable being behind the scenes (or as he puts it, the 'mack in the back'), I asked Derrell to step up to the mic and discuss the different types of business structures and the importance of accurately tracking your new business's finances.

TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST. At some point in our lives we have experienced turbulence or unexpected bumps in the road. Just like the instructions on the plane that tell us to put our oxygen mask on first before helping others, we must take care of ourselves. In this episode we talk about self-care with a twist.
SHOW UP, EMBRACE YOUR UNIQUENESS AND EXECUTE INTENTIONALLY. This podcast was launched on July 27th, 2019. Our goal was to have 100 plays within the first seven days of the launch, and we reached that in one day. What I know is you can’t accomplish anything alone. We were able to hit our goal and exceed it by 165% because of everyone who listened and shared. This special episode is my Thank You!
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START SHOWING UP. This episode is dedicated to everyone who thinks they are running out of time, too old or have missed their moment.
A SYMBOL OF THE JOURNEY. In this episode I had the awesome opportunity to sit down with our very first houseguest, John Henry Scott III. John and I have been married for 13 years and I could listen to his story over and over again and wanted to share it with you. John takes us on his journey of being homeless at 5, finding out he would be a teenage father at 15, giving up a Stanford education to becoming one of the youngest Vice Presidents in his organization.
