Make it Happen episodes

  • Just go for it
    We are all on the path towards happiness and success (whether we know that specific goal yet or not) and nothing should deter us from bringing those dreams to fruition. Often times, we are listening to outside opinions, social media, and our own negative self-talk, which tears us down...bringing doubt, and ultimately staying stagnant with our current situation/lives. This episode is one to validate and show as a sign that you CAN accomplish that goal, you CAN take that leap of faith, and you CAN cultivate a life beyond your wildest dreams... it all starts with YOU!! You are in charge of taking control of your destiny, life, and overall happiness. If you want something, you have to JUST GO FOR IT!

  • Start small to make the world a better place: Lovepacks with Camie Bianco

    This episode is so special, near, and dear to my heart. The superstar herself, Camie Bianco, came on to talk all about the local non-profit organization in Oxford, Mississippi 'Lovepacks'. With the goal of combating the fight against childhood hunger in our community, Camie and a group of outstanding people got together to create what the organization is today. After the initial realization of just how many hungry children we have in the Oxford community, the group wondered what could be done to make a difference. Finally, they stopped wondering, gathered volunteers and started acting. What started with 10 packs coming out of their own kitchens has grown to an astounding 160 packs a week. Lovepacks received 501(c)3 non-profit status in 2012, and the service has expanded to the ten schools in the Oxford/Lafayette school district. This episode is so inspirational and will answer some questions on how you can get involved in your community! Helping the next person in line and using your passions to create change is what it's all about!!

    Thank you Camie for coming onto the podcast and representing Lovepacks with love and grace. Thank you to everyone for your continued support!

  • Lead by Example: Becca Morgan
    If you want to listen to someone who is passionate about mental health, finding inner self-worth and learn about body neutrality, than this is the episode you!! Becca Morgan is an amazing individual who dives into her "why" behind leading by example, feeling accomplished and motivating others. One of my favorite quotes from this episode is "I'm doing this for me, and by doing that, I can inspire others to do it for themselves too". This message inspires me, and this episode will push you to go out of your comfort zone and spread joy/use your voice to showcase what has been heavy on your heart, because you never know... you just might give someone hope along the way.

  • Consistency

    Hi everyone, 

    this episode is a follow up to S2E1 so if you haven't had a chance to listen, I would do that first! Consistency is what sets us a part from competition, allows our brain to create habits/get into routines and most importantly... stay reliable to ourselves. We are defined by our HABITS not our HICCUPS. I hope that everyone has an amazing day, and gain some tips and tricks from this episode!!

  • Be your own Competitor: Emma Harrington

    On today's episode I had the amazing opportunity to bring on Emma Harrington! She is an 18 year old freshman at the University of Mississippi but you would never know that with the amount of crazy accomplishments she already has under her belt. She has won the Mike Wallace scholarship from the Emmy's, has an award winning podcast, Youtube connoisseur (with almost 1 million views) and most important an OMSP intern so I have the lovely pleasure of calling her my co-worker. I love this episode so much, we had such great banter, with Emma's super insightful point of view on reaching your full potential. I hope you all gain some knowledge from this podcast and take the risks to reach your greatest potential, NEVER wait for someone else for anything in life, especially your goals! As always, Thank you for your support, xo.
