Couch 2 Fire

My social media life was riddled with FEAR. This unpleasant emotion took over me when I needed to perform extroverted activities. When I spoke in front of my coworkers or had to go live on FB, I would freeze and stumble over my words. A comfortable introvert, I was suffering and did not like to get out of my comfort zone. My dear friend, Roksanna Hussein, a transformation coach, kindly came to the rescue! What she said to me broke down my boundaries and I and truly a new person! Come join us to find out how to break away from FEAR.

I never thought our lives would change in such a huge way during the quarantine! The entire world has been shifted into a new reality with this deadly virus. Until we find a cure, the life is put on hold. But there is a women's virtual summit taken place in Asia that is trying to make a difference. Women Millionaire Summit 2020 is from July 24-26 is Asia's Largest online women's summit. 3 days, 45 speakers, 2,500 attendees. It is focusing on your spirituality, emotional and intellectual wellbeing as well as encouraing women to take the step into owning their own business. Now is the perfect time to take action! I have a privlege to be a guest speaker at this conference and I am very excited to share with others my insight and knowledge. I've invited not only the summit organizers, but also my a fellow podcast host, Abby Yoong to be a part of the interview roundtable.

This is the interview I've been waiting for: YES!! A strong inspiring and artistic woman having the desire to find out who she always wanted to be. I've been friends with Bridget for decades and something started popping up in my social media feed. These incredible sketches and paintings she shared were so exciting and creative. Those creations were a breath of fresh air! I wanted to get to the bottom of the paintings and I finally reached out and talk to her. I loved every part of it. The one interview blossomed into 3 amazing podcast topics. JUICY. You don't want to miss this episode. Because this one is firery! Bridget McMullen is the Principal, Interior Designer of the McMullin Design Group in the Philadelphia area.

How did this inspring woman go from a journalist from Miami to the Executive Director of the ACLU of Arizona? Find out her steps to becoming one of the leading action takers of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona.

This was a hard episode for me to reach out and discuss. I really don't discuss racism that is around in our lives and in our communities. But with the Black Lives Matter movement, I felt the need to discuss this with my dear friend Quita Jackson.

When I asked her to be on the podcast to discuss the BLM movement, Quita hesitated. She felt a lot of pressure. She felt pressure to come across with the perfect amount of support: not too strong and not too weak. So I asked her to focus the discussion of raising her 2 African American teenage sons and how we as parents can help support our fellow friends and neighbors in this movement. Her one request she tells her sons really surprised me during our call. It's a request that is not a commonly heard from non-black parents.

In the mist of the Black Lives Matter movement, I can't tell you that I know what degree of racism African American people experience. I know it runs very deep. Being a minority and living in the US, I grew up experiencing racism in the school yard, while dating, and in the communities. As a mother and raising a biracial daughter, I know that I have to equip my child with knowledge and confidence to weather any doubts she may be experiencing being of mixed race. I reached out to writer/blogger and loving mother Kelly Coleman and we discuss the obstacles we face raising biracial children in this day and age. She shares with us her experiences and how she strives to raise her children to be exceptional human beings.
