I'm Michaela Birdyshaw, and joining me is the incredible Nicoa Dunne Cornelius host of Coffee with Nicoa. Nicoa just returned from a transformative retreat, and we're picking up the conversation right where it left off.

In this episode, we're diving deep into our personal growth journeys, exploring the world of coaching, and unleashing our inner unicorns. Get ready for a joyful exploration of vulnerability, energy leadership, overcoming fear, and embracing personal growth. But that's not all; we'll also delve into family dynamics, gender identity, and the art of living life by design.

As a coach, Nicoa helps her clients open up, explore, and embrace life's highs and lows. She's living proof of intentional living, fostering creativity, curiosity, vulnerability, and validation. Nicoa's voice is a gift, and she's here to share it, igniting positive change in the lives of others.

Welcome, dear listeners, to another exciting episode of "And All the Things." I'm your host, Michaela Birdyshaw, and today we have a truly remarkable guest to introduce. She's a talented photographer, a world traveler, and a woman with an incredible passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. So, get ready to be inspired as we dive into the world of Jenny Mayfield!

Jenny Mayfield's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. She founded her photography company in 2017 and has since been capturing the essence of life through her lens in the beautiful city of Zurich, Switzerland and now in New Jersey.

Jenny's company is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to women, lighting, makeup, and posing. Her values revolve around connection, service, and impact, which are the very essence of her work. But her heart has always been in making a difference. As the Operations Manager for Cause Marketing at Population Services International, Jenny developed creative communications and marketing strategies to increase visibility of HIV/AIDS programs, capturing stories that needed to be told. And let's not forget her incredible journey as an assistant to the Director of the Olympic Torch Relay for the Atlanta Committee for The Olympic Games. Standing beside Muhammad Ali as he lit the cauldron is just one of the amazing experiences that make Jenny's story so unique.

Jenny's story is not complete without mentioning her loving family. She's married to the talented journalist, Brian Blackstone, and together they have two hilarious children, Grady and Compton.

If you're as eager as we are to explore Jenny's incredible work, be sure to visit her website at www.jennymayfield.com and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram @jennybmayfieldphotographer.

Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of “And All the Things”. Today we’re going to talk a little bit about the comment I just made in the intro - that our stories evolve together when we learn and grow and serve with other people and then reflect upon it. Ed Delia is one of those people for me. 

More than just a friend - more than just a business partner and vendor, he has been a mentor, a guide, and a voice of reassurance that finding my voice what’s the most important work I could do. In this conversation you will hear about the work he does as president of Delia Associates, you will hear about his creativity, life in family business, marketing with integrity, and using old world honesty. But we are also going to talk about living in wonder, the art of baseball, and identifying with yourself and your own personal brand. Without further ado, I offer to you, Ed Delia And All the Things. 

His Takeaway: “Get Growing”
