On this episode of Gurll Mind Your Business, Cookie Cade sits down with Rob Hurst for a powerful conversation about what it takes to keep moving when life changes.

Rob’s story is not about a perfect path.

It is about job loss, identity theft, major life transitions, changing relationships, and learning how to rebuild from the inside out.

Instead of allowing those seasons to define him, Rob began developing stronger habits, changing his circle, investing in personal development, and becoming more intentional about how he started each day.

Rob shares one of the strongest lessons from the conversation:

Develop consistent habits of success so when the seasons change, your direction doesn’t.

And another reminder worth remembering:

If you can’t change your people, change your people.

If you are in a season of transition, rebuilding, changing direction, or simply trying to become more disciplined about your next move, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Gurll Mind Your Business, Cookie Cade sits down with LaTesha Wells for a real conversation about starting before you feel ready, staying consistent, and building something meaningful from what you already know.

LaTesha’s business idea did not begin with a perfect plan.

It began behind the salon chair.

After years of listening to clients talk about dryness, hydration, scalp concerns, and the lack of products that truly met the needs of African American hair, LaTesha saw a gap—and decided to build the solution.

LaTesha also shares a powerful lesson for every entrepreneur who is waiting on more money, more confidence, or a better time:

You do not have to have everything figured out to start building the life and business you want. Just start.

If you have been sitting on an idea, second-guessing yourself, or waiting for everything to line up before you move, this conversation is for you.

On this episode of Gurll Mind Your Business, Cookie Cade sits down with Adrianne McCann for a deeply personal and powerful conversation about healing, finding your voice again, and turning painful experiences into purpose.

This is not a conversation about pretending everything is fine.

It is about what happens when life changes you, hurts you, stretches you, and still calls you forward.

Adrianne shares how healing can become a pathway to clarity, confidence, and a new beginning. We talk about the importance of reclaiming your voice, honoring your story, letting go of what no longer serves you, and having the courage to build what comes next.

One of the most important reminders from this conversation is this:

Your voice is not wasted on your time.

What you have been through does not disqualify you.

Your story can become strength.

Your healing can become purpose.

And your next chapter can still be powerful.

If you are in a season of rebuilding, rediscovering yourself, or trying to figure out what comes next, this episode is for you.

On this episode of Gurll Mind Your Business, Cookie Cade sits down with Erica Hill, business funding strategist, financial educator, entrepreneur, and CEO, for a powerful conversation about money, mindset, funding, and what women entrepreneurs need to know before asking for capital.

With more than 20 years of experience in underwriting and lending, Erica knows what lenders are looking for, and why so many business owners walk away from funding opportunities before they ever truly understand their options.

This conversation goes beyond credit scores and applications.

We talk about the fear many women carry around money, the belief that their businesses are “too small” to qualify for funding, and why understanding your numbers can change the way you make decisions.

If you have ever wondered whether your business is ready for funding, felt intimidated by the process, or simply want to become more confident about your financial decisions, this conversation is for you.
