Brave In Vision

"If you are dreaming it, if you are imagining it, It's in there and it's YOURS! You have to live it!" that is the kind of goodness and truth you are about to hear on this episode! I got the honor and pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Trenace Richardson, founder of REAL Women as she shared her brave story of no longer dimming her light to overcoming depression and braving into full time entrepreneurship!

Yes! We got our first guy on the podcast and this episode marks our 6th month anniversary! So, it was fitting to have our guest and first guy be Darren Franklin, Racial Equity Champion, Father and Federal Sector Leader on the show today! He is my dear friend, ace and dare I say partner in crime. On this episode Darren shared his mountaintop story of braving through divorce, parenthood and now being single. We laughed as he told stories of his Pentecostal upbringing and had powerful moments of reflection as he talked about walking through uncertainty and being a recovering perfectionist. Then Darren dropped the mic, as he closed the show with a beautiful declaration to the ladies! This episode is packed with wisdom, laughter and incredible truth nuggets.

On this episode you will hear something alittle different as our guest Dr. Anne Beal, physican and founder of AbsoluteJOI Skincare and I recorded in her serene back patio where we soaked up the sunshine and were serenaded by the birds.

Anne broke it down on how we can be fearless if we name our fears and work the gift of trying! This episode is packed with pearls of wisdom and incredible truth nuggets.
