Show Notes‍Segment 1

Tommy introduces the show from his attic and gives the audience a brief introduction about his guest Dalisha Rodriguez. The two jump right in by talking about Dalisha’s Non-profit, Hey There Beautiful. Dalisha gives the audience an introduction to her past, talking about her need to leave the corporate sector and stray from the societal norms that constrained her, as she was unsatisfied in the legal world. The two go over Dalisha’s story and she describes how it is important for girls to look within themselves and rather than be given the answers to find their path in this world. Dalisha emphasizes that “beauty is loving yourself,” as 90% of young girls want to change their bodies - but according to Dalisha, we must help change mindsets around us.
