Before we get into today’s episode, I have one workshop I want to share with you. I’m facilitating a vision board workshop at The Hive in South Pasadena, California on Sunday November 3rd from 1-3pm. If you’ve written off 2024 and want to focus on 2025, join us! If you haven’t created your board for 2024, you’ve still got a little time. Join us. Details below. 

My guest Kahlea Wade and I recorded this episode over the summer. We talk about the Florida beaches, happy times, and I want to take a moment to recognize that at the time of this episode publication, hurricane Milton is here. My heart goes out to everyone that’s being impacted, and I’m praying for the storm to quickly pass.

This week’s guest is wise beyond her young years. She’s not even 30. Let me share more about Kahlea. Kahlea is a Creator Economy and Influencer Marketing Expert with 9 years of experience in the industry. In addition to being a creator herself, she's worked with creators to help them secure over $1,000,000 in brand partnerships. In 2022, she launched a talent agency called Alora Society, which facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships between brands and creators. Through Alora, creators have partnered with renowned brands like Meta, Nike, Amazon Prime, Skims, Michael Kors, Tresemmé, and more. 

We got into so many juicy topics like building a successful online presence as creators; being multi-passionate;  in a world where it’s always about “the next fill-in-the-blank” Kahlea says, be the next YOU; and where to begin if you’re interested in brand partnerships. Kahlea is bright, energetic, and so wise beyond her years. Let’s dive into my conversation with Kahlea.

Can you remember a time when your voice was stifled? When your dreams were smothered by expectations? Maybe you felt alone and trapped, too. I spent years conforming, trying to fit into a mold that wasn't made for me. This episode mirrors a recent newsletter I sent out to my e-community. (Maybe you saw it?) I felt a nudge to share it out with more people because I know there’s more people out there who don’t feel comfortable in their own skin. I think before we can achieve the things we want to achieve, we first get to be comfortable with who.we.are…

I’ve spent a lifetime getting comfortable! And I’m still a work in progress. You’ll hear a little bit about the environment I grew up in. This episode is a very personal one! I hope you enjoy it.

There are people you meet that you instantly connect with. Kathy is one of those people. We talked about leaving a small town, following dreams and visions. One of her ideas was to start a magazine for independent women podcasters. If you’re a woman podcaster, you’ll want to hear this episode. Her magazine has covered topics like podcast shaming, fear of speaking (which was something I had big time), and how to monetize without advertising.

I’ve got another great interview for you today with Chef Whitney Aronoff. We dive into 4 areas which need our daily nourishment: physical, emotional, spiritual and mental.

About Whitney: Chef Whitney Aronoff is founder of Starseed Kitchen, a line of organic spice blends, & host of the High Vibration Living Podcast. She works as a Health Supportive Chef in Laguna Beach. Chef Whitney believes ‘the healthiest meal you can eat is the one you make at home’. She learned to heal her gut & energy issues with food. She graduated culinary school from The Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC. 

As the expert on high vibration foods, Chef Whitney believes eating is a transfer of energy between our energetic being and the food we eat. She is an advocate for setting intentions that put the power of healing in your own hands by aligning all the layers of “you” through your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental body. 

She shares this philosophy with experts she interviews on the High Vibration Living Podcast. It serves as a source for those who want to learn about nourishing all the layers of you; your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental body. 

Special thank you to today’s episode sponsor: Tamara Miller Davis. 

Tamara, a previous podcast guest, wrote Despite the Buzz, which is a colorful cautionary tale concerning tech’s influence upon learning, relationships, safety, and wellbeing.
