About the Show Host
About the Show Host
I’m Cindy Witteman, and I call San Antonio, Texas, home. I proudly juggle multiple roles, each fueled by purpose and passion. As the Founder and CEO of FORCE Magazine, a Business Owner, and a 5x Best-Selling Author, I'm on a mission to weave impactful stories and create positive change. The recognition of receiving both the 2023 International Impact Book Award and the Trailblazer Award has only strengthened my resolve to uplift and empower others.
Beyond my media commitments as the Host of both the “Little Give” TV Show and the “Is Manifesting Bullshit Podcast,” I'm also an Entrepreneur, Action Mastery Coach, Speaker, and Beekeeper. Each role allows me to connect with people in unique ways, sharing insights, and inspiring transformation.
Family time with my blended family of six kids, two grandsons, and two granddaughters is invaluable to me, and I'm equally passionate about travel. Whether exploring new destinations or simply enjoying quality time together, these moments are precious and cherished.
In 2017, I established Driving Single Parents Inc., a non-profit dedicated to offering a helping hand to single parents seeking to reclaim their independence. Through this endeavor, my dedicated team and I have had the privilege to touch countless lives by providing reliable vehicles to single-parent families, helping them overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams. Together, let’s continue spreading hope and making a meaningful difference, one little give at a time.
Sincerely,
Cindy Witteman

Healing Through Harmony: How Emily Thorner Uses Music to Raise Global Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to another heart-opening episode of Little Give. This week, I’m beyond excited to introduce you to a one-of-a-kind guest: Emily Thorner, an internationally trained opera singer turned transformational sound healer. Emily doesn’t just sing. She shifts frequencies, heals through vibration, and channels pure intention into sound to help people around the world reconnect with their true selves.
In this inspiring conversation, Emily shares her journey from the world of contemporary classical opera to discovering the profound healing power of combining voice with energy work. We talk about how intention, frequency, and inner healing can literally change how we feel on a cellular level.
She opens up about a pivotal moment at a crypto convention in Dubai that changed everything for her and the emotional reactions from complete strangers who experienced her voice as a tool for deep healing.
We also explore:
• How energy, frequency, and intention work together to shift emotions and perspective
• What makes her method different from traditional sound healing
• The role of music in unity, awareness, and raising global consciousness
• How anyone can begin their own journey of energetic alignment through simply listening
As always, we wrap up with two signature Little Give questions that spotlight the ripple effect of everyday kindness and the people who have quietly changed lives with small, meaningful gestures.
This is an episode about more than just music. It is about finding your voice, following your higher purpose, and using your gifts to light up the world.
Just listen. You will feel it.
