On this week's episode, I’m talking with Gigi Robinson who is not only just a TikTok creator with 127K followers but is also an extremely kindhearted individual with an incredible story to share.✨⠀

⠀

After being diagnosed with chronic illness, Gigi began to notice changes in her body, moods, eating habits and realized she wasn’t alone. She decided to share her journey on social media, and NOW the babe is known for raising awareness on body positivity & is a role model for the chronic illness community.⠀

⠀

In this episode, Gigi speaks on her experience with body dysmorphia and how living with chronic illness can sometimes impede the love we show to ourselves. In such times, having the courage to prioritize yourself becomes highly important, and this is just some of the many things touched upon in today's episode.⠀

⠀

Gigi shares her tips on how she managed to regain her confidence, find her true worth and remain positive WHILE leaving paths that no longer served her. 💫⠀

⠀

Her passion lies in courage, connection and  acceptance, so if you’re looking to get back on track, or hear some positive words, then she’s definitely your girl.👏🏼⠀

Today on the show, I talked to Erika and got her perspective on so many different topics!! Erika is an ambitious entrepreneur and CEO of The Etime Bog & Company. She shares tips and tricks on all things holistic and LOVES to research on topics that society needs to hear more about. She’s also a big fan of nature which inspired her to start her own plant-based and homemade cosmetics line! 💁🏻‍♀️

Erika has such a boss babe energy & I’ll  defs give that to the leo in her😉!! (ok enough with astrology I promise) But on a real, right from the start of our call up until now, Erika and I have shared a great bond and connected SO well!. She’s been so friendly and exciting to speak with, and is someone I’d for sure want to learn more from!💓

She talks to us about the importance of understanding your STANCE. She also talks to us about how she balances her professional work with personal relationships and why it all comes down to MASTERING YOUR STANCE. I got to learn SO much from our conversation— from setting the bar for yourself to deciding your best workflow to ENSURE you get from “𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐀 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐁 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬” 💪🏼

Ep. 8: ways to get involved to maximize your experience + housing options + class workload and how to be smart about it ⠀

⠀⠀

Today on the show I interviewed Rob! Rob is a rising senior at the University of California, Berkeley. He transferred from a community college in Cupertino, California and is originally from Ontario, Canada! ⠀

⠀

On today’s episode, Rob opens up about his experience as a transfer student - the pros, cons, struggles and advantages. He talks to us about ways to get involved in clubs, making friends, asking help but most importantly remembering your ‘WHY.’ ⠀

⠀

Rob knows it’s normal to feel lost/lonely in a completely new environment, and in those times, it’s extremely crucial to remember why you decided to transfer and what you’re ready to gain from your journey. He also talks to us about the importance of study groups and the idea of exploring and NOT simply overloading yourself with classes your first year.⠀

Rob gives us great advice on how to tackle tough situations and what he learned from ‘snakes’ in his school. ⠀

⠀

Even if you're not a transfer student, I highly recommend listening to this episode. Rob gives us SO much value and mentions some key takeaways that we MUST take note of.⠀

⠀

PS -  Rob and I also talk about our experience with the Nigerian Student Association at Cal, so stay tuned to listen to a short, fun story on how I was introduced to the NSA —IN MY DORM……...all it took was that one song! ⠀

On today's episode, I interviewed Maria about her journey! Maria was born in Casa Blanca, Morocco and a year later she moved to Italy where she began to embrace both cultures. She hopes to create a positive impact through her thoughts, feelings and experiences while exploring topics from culture, art to a bit of poetry! Other than that, she is a brand consultant, and freelance in digital marketing and content creation. She is also an ethical entrepreneur whose love for the ocean has inspired her to start her own sustainable luxury swimwear brand called Maari Eco-swim.

This conversation really helped me understand that no path is ever too smooth. Life's a game of trial and error that teaches you so much along the way. Maria’s story was one with personal and professional struggles as well, but she continued to remain positive and brainstorm ways in which she could add value! She knew she wanted to improve the entire system in the fashion industry but not adhere to it. AND this is when after learning and applying, she went a step further and successfully created HER own swimwear fabric out of fishing nets!

I absolutely loved getting Maria 's perspective on creating her business from scratch! I learned that it's important to think of ourselves as a possibility. We’re all on this planet to accomplish what we want and she believes that small actions day by day will eventually add to big changes! I can’t wait for you guys to listen to this success story!
