Kyra Green (IG: Kyra212green) is a singer in 212 Green and is known for being on the first season of Love Island in the USA. She shares what it was like behind the scenes and how life after the show was a whirlwind.

Love Island wasn’t the first thing Kyra played a big roll in, in her preteen years she starred in Kidz Bop. I thought Kidz Bop was every kids dream but Kara shares her experience and struggles she faced while being in the spotlight.

She went from this to be a signed model with IMG and walking the runway for top designers. The modeling industry is one that can be brutal and she shares how she overcame some of the unhealthy habits that the modeling industry inflicted on her. 

Kyra is now studying fitness and nutrition so she can empower people to live a healthy life. We talk about how everything she has done in the past is leading up to what she plans to do next. Kyra stays authentic to her self and inspires people to do the same. I hope you enjoy this episode and most importantly feel empowered.

Jenna Bandy (@jennabandy21) is a YouTuber and social media content creator with an audience of over 1.1 million across platforms. She is known for her athletic ability and basketball content. She blew up from using the hashtag #SheCanDoBoth and displaying her more dressed up girly side beside a picture of her balling out. 

From there she started to get recognition and started to meet other social media influencers, but Bandy didn’t always have her eyes set on social media. She originally set out to be a teacher and high school coach. As her following grew and students started recognizing her as Jennabandy21 she decided to be the assistant coach of a college team.

In this episode we talk about how she became so competitive, what drives her passion for basketball, and how the underdog and authenticity bring success. 

I hope you enjoy the episode and find yourself relating to how you can break the mold and be that person that can do both too;)

This episode was super special as it was my first time having two amazing guests that are both ER doctors in the Indianapolis area. I'm afraid of blood so this episode was a huge eye opener to me about what ER doctors and doctors in general go through in order to attain their prestigious role in society.

Madeline Delp (IG: @madleinedelp) is a powerhouse of a woman! At a young age she learned that sometimes almost losing your life can be the catalyst to truly finding it in a way you never had before. After miraculously surviving a car accident that left her crushed in the back of a car and comatose for several weeks, she woke up to find that she had been paralyzed from the waist down. Madeline soon realized that the physical bounds she faced were small in comparison to the emotional repercussions of paralyzing fear and doubt. After a multi-continental journey of fear-chasing, Madeline learned that she could refuse to be the victim of her circumstance – that by mastering the mind, one can profoundly reclaim control of their life. Her journey included being the first paraplegic girl to BASE jump in the US, rock climb the cliffs of Mt. Rushmore and drive cross country alone on a national tour. 

Madeline launched her career as a public figure after winning the national competition, Ms. Wheelchair USA. Spending the year traveling and speaking across the United States, she established her reputation as a deeply-moving and inspirational keynote speaker and has been hired for major events, such as conferences at the NC Governor’s mansion and the US Senate. Madeline has also partnered with LA production teams to create film series that complement her keynote message of overcoming and living bold adventures. 

Madeline’s ultimate goal is to give back to the world around her, not only by inspiring people to chase boundless dreams, but by also giving them the resources to do so. In 2017, she founded Live Boundless in order to give people hope that they could overcome their physical challenges. It is her passion to grow the organization to help millions of people around the world.
