We're back for another episode of the B. Light Podcast.

Today we're having a great conversation about the importance of community and how you don't need to run a business to have a team. I took a conversation we had over on Instagram Live and had to share with you, my B. Light Community!

I passed out in my car at 7 months pregnant because I was #teamnosleep and too many of us are still recovering from trying to be superwoman. I want to see more people move more intentionally so they can operate fully in their gifts. 

So if you're someone who struggles to ask for help you're definitely going to want to tune in!

Today's episode is a special one.

On the heels of celebrating 10 years in business and 8 years of being an author I have been extremely reflective and one thing I'm highly aware of is the fact that I would not be where I am today without the incredible relationships, friendships and God-ordained every otherships I've gleaned from along the way.

I must give flowers to LC Johnson, Sandra Umoru, Darlene Johnson, Kemberly Washington and my mom Sandra Daniels for the never ending impact they have made on me. I hope to leave a similar legacy and footprint on the hearts of those I meet.
