Alexis Sclamberg, one half of the Borrowed Wisdom duo, stopped by the Live Phenomenal Podcast this week to share her tips on living your authentic self.  The thing that I love most about this interview is that she encourages the listeners to give themselves the space and time to heal from past hurt and to figure out what they truly want out of life.  This is work that many people overlook so they end up living a life that is based on other people's expectations and not aligned with their true purpose.  I encourage anyone who is trying to figure out what they are supposed to be doing to listen to this interview, and then take that first step to stepping out into your purpose.

This week I was joined by Gabrielle Jackson of the Millennial Solution, and she was dynamic.  One of my favorite parts of the interview was when Gabrielle advised the listeners to jump before they are ready, because you will never feel totally ready.  This is amazing advice because it helps to guard against complacency and comfort which are enemies are greatness.  As you are thinking about your next move in your life, look at the situations around you that are making you uncomfortable and ask yourself if God is trying to make you move to your next phase in life.  Also examine the life that you desire, and start to gain the knowledge of what it will take to get that life.  Remember that all answers are just a phone call, text, and search away.  Eliminate excuses, and jump to live the life that you want.

Gwen Jimmere is a single mom who owns an international business that she started from her kitchen.  In this podcast she shares how she overcame divorce and getting laid off during her divorce to growing an international company.  Her tips are practical for anyone interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as well as anyone who wants to build a career in Corporate America.  One of the things that really stuck out to me in this interview was she said that because she chased her dreams and defined her own phenomenal, that she doesn't have to tell her son that he can be anything that he wants, because he see that he can be anything that he wants.  Listen to this podcast to learn how you too can define your own phenomenal.

One problem that many people face is failing to live in the moment and enjoy life right where they are.  In this podcast Dr. Sharri Coleman shares how she had to learn how to appreciate and live in the moment.  That simple lesson helped her to find more enjoyment out of life.  Another benefit that this philosophy offers is that it helps you to avoid staying stuck in a situation that is not ideal, because you are looking at how to maximize and enjoy the moment that you have right now.  I think that this is an amazing interview for people who struggle to maximize where they are right now or who let distractions rob them from some of life's most precious moments.  Remember that life is made up of a series of moments, and when you miss one, you miss something that life has to offer.

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Joy Evans, Cofounder of Single Pearls of Wisdom.  This interview was totally phenomenal as Joy talked about turning your pain into your biggest testimony.  Everyone goes through hurt, pain, and disappointment.  However, it is what you do in those moments that shows your character and demonstrates your true faith in God.  Listen to this interview as Joy talks about how she overcame difficulties and used those experiences to create her ministry.  She also shares words of wisdom that will inspire you to increase your faith, trust the process, and know that God still has His hand on you.

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Aprille Franks-Hunt, CEO of Women Recharged.  This is a truly phenomenal interview as Aprille shares her tips on how to combat fear, feelings of inadequacy, and conformity.  These are three things keeping you trapped in a box and preventing you from living the life that you are meant to live.  She also provides different tips on how to reframe the money conversation that you have with yourself.  One of my favorite parts of this interview is the question that Aprille wants you to ask yourself as you spend money.  Trust me.  This question will make you think twice because you make that next purchase.  She covers to much during this 30-minute interview so great ready to be inspired and recharged!
