Dreams In Drive

You can't be scared to take the leap...because you never know what will be on the other side! Meet Manouchcar (Missy) Pierre-Val, MSN, ARNP, FNP-C - a Nurse Practitioner, former NFL cheerleader and the Founder of Scrub Angels - an online community that educates and supports nurses in finding fulfillment in their lives and careers. After being a nurse for over 7 years, Missy noticed nurses within her community were becoming easily burned out, lacked support and mentorship and felt lost in their careers...so she decided to do something about it. Listen in as she talks her #dreamdriving journey including the lessons she learned during her NFL cheerleader days (and why she sued them!) to moving across the country and launching her own nurse practitioner group. One theme that stands true is this: When you lean in and listen to your intuition, great things will come - even if you have to figure things out along the way.

How much do you believe in your vision? How much would you RISK to make sure the dream comes alive? We chat with Beatrice Feliu Espada - co-founder of The Honey Pot - a feminine care company born out of her need to naturally heal herself. When Beatrice faced a chronic bout of bacterial vaginitis, she became a woman on a mission, searching for natural remedies to help prevent these unruly infections. Beatrice created The Honey Pot Feminine Wash - her very own natural healing aid.

Beatrice talks about how she wasn't afraid to make strategic moves - even when there were doubters who didn't believe in the brand's longevity. Because of that belief, Beatrice was able to build a loyal following and audience, get the brand into Whole Foods and later nationwide Target Stores - one of her biggest accomplishments to date. Beatrice shares her #dreamdriving journey - from the pharmacy to retail consumer goods specialist- and her advice for other dream drivers not afraid to GOAL BIG and RISK EVEN BIGGER

When there is a will, there is a way. If you truly want something, you have to figure out how to create your opportunities and build your own pathways to success. Sometimes we spend too much time trying to "go with the flow" and wait for things to happen to us. If you're a DREAM DRIVER, sometimes you have to get into the driver's seat and create the road ahead of you. Host Rana Campbell shares how figuring out how to "bend the rules" or the "way things are supposed to be" landed her at the Root 100 dinner in November 2017 where she got to meet some fabulous people including Common, Raheem Devaughn, Angela Rye, AJ Collaway, and more. She also discusses advocating for yourself, strategic post-opportunity creation follow-up, and the importance of grit and visualizing success before it happens.
