Do you have a story to tell? Do you think you need to be trained or expert in someway to write a book? Is passion pulling you to share your beliefs and ideas with others? Have you been through something, or are you going through something that you believe is building story? 

In this episode of Proven Not Perfect Podcast, I host published author Quinnise Pettway. Her debut book is “A Glimpse of Our Father” available directly at her website (www.aglimpseofourfather.com) ; as well as other standard outlets. 

Quinnise is faithful and she shares her personal revelations in her relationship with God as she grew in her role as mom to her daughters. 

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER... this Podcast is a thought-instigator for those of us who are firmly planted in the Jesus camp AND those who are open to understanding more about others who may believe differently than you... we are a village... come along 🙂 

AND... if you just want to be inspired about a journey to lean into an urge to walk out a dream…THIS IS FOR YOU TOO.... see we are a village... 🤗

It's great to have full circle moments when you get 'reintroduced' to a younger sister along your journey... to see the evolution of both them and YOURSELF - nothing better! 

This conversation is with someone I affectionately see as a 'mini-me' in her ambition, drive, passion and commitment to increasingly developing herself and her offers in this world. My guest - Shanique Bonelli-Moore is a trailblazing creative in diverse, corporate industries, with name brand firms. We caught up in April of this year, talking about life, work, family... and a super neat NEW business that she is building alongside her corporate life! [Ya'll, I love my Village of All-Stars who keep ALL the assignments with grace, poise and mission to succeed.]

This is a PERFECT complement as you enjoy your HOT GIRL Summer🔥... 🤣 as you are on the beach, at the park, hiking, sightseeing... and now with space to get the FIRE and INNOVATIVE thoughts flowing... feel the spark ... YOU ARE WELCOME👏🏾

... Join me IN THE LAB with Shanique as we talk about her newest innovation and business Girlfriends Retreat .. it is A TREAT to be in the innovation process with this creative business mind. So, as you listen become EVEN MORE in tune with your own inspired thoughts burning within your own soul... get going‼️.... 

Some AWESOME Shanique quotes:

"We are magic just because"

"I look at myself as socially affluent... let's create this for all women" 

"We are women... we know what we want and like... consulting with companies on centering women in the marketing process..."

... GET TO WORK... remember, don't keep hidden and burn up the curtains 😉

Enjoy!!

Women Health is Family Health, I BELIEVE this. 

Most women take their role of being a CENTER in their home seriously. We (inserting myself) feel the need to keep it moving to be there for the souls that we love ♥️

.Mommying a girl is different... as women, we can reflect upon what was good, or not good, about how we ourselves were mommied... we imitate and emulate the vibe we saw 👀... What vibe are sending to our daughters? 

What happens when things come full circle in mom to daughter relationships? Cycles... what moms went through.. what we go through.. what our daughters experience... 🤪🤪🤪

We talk about IT ALL, including 'throw back' times (think Stevie Wonder "... sneakin' out the back door, hangin' with those hoodlum friends of mine... 🎶"

Real Talk on female issues from pushing yourself to pursue the BIG jobs/professions to the journey of WOMEN's HEALTH (from gas mask during delivery to finding our own voice and liberation in ourselves as a woman)...

How do you define FEMINIST? We talk about it... maybe we all don't agree ... that's OK. However, WE both think that it is strength, intelligence, freedom, drive, courage, confidence, nurturer/caregiver and feeling pretty just as I AM. POWER AS A WOMAN 🔥

SOCIAL MEDIA ➡️ SELF IMAGE for our girls AND ALL of US 😒

Ladies, GET in FORMATION - mind, body, spirit healing - balance ⚖️

Make space for this listen Ladies - find POWER in this restoring and energizing conversation... 

Courage is not being afraid - fear is innate, just turn it around to show you the real situation👏🏾

ENJOY and You ARE WELCOME  :)

Podcast Conversation Journey...

Would you do a house swap with another family? .. Not sure why that matters 🤷🏽‍♀️

Decision to go back to school as an adult... make sense to you 🤔

Creative Agencies sound like a cool place to start a career.. opened many doorways👩🏽‍🎨

Work/Life pivots are R-E-A-L... builds character ☺️... yes, no... maybe so.....🤔

Shout out to parents who build us up to believe in ourselves AND keep it real too. 

Fun Fact: the 80's was a big season for international adoptions, in particular children from Korea. Allison speaks about 'being different' growing up in Western Michigan.. and some of the observations that support her confidence and strength in life well into adulthood....

Life is based on a series of decisions by other people in the beginning and then by us as we grow up

Is Advertising the "dark side" ???? What does that even mean... we spill the tea ☕️ about what goes on in the agency world... 😁... seriously, we learn more about these 'idea factories' and who make them up...

A quote to take to the bank... "we are all alike more than we are different"... let's all believe this - OK🙏🏾

Pivots can take us around the world... LITERALLY... cool thing is that if you find that you end up in a place that you don't feel 'fits', you can CHANGE YOUR MIND... 

... did you make a change searching for something that was always there... 💁🏽‍♀️

For my single ladies, how do you know you found "the right one"... ask yourself this... "is there a symbiotic nature to how you both move and support one another?"... does it feel like a TEAM 🏀..... teamwork...... 

Entrepreneuring (a new word that I am making up) at night, alongside your full time gig and family management role..... CAN BE A LOT... just keeping it REAL😆

So, JUST JUMP IN ... 🙂 how did Allison do this ? how did she feel? 

How much do you know about the cannabis industry? 

What does this mean for the construct of society as we know it? 

Do we have pre-prohibition lessons learned from other opening industries before they were opened? 

We talk about stigma,
we talk about regulations,
we talk about health & safety,
we talk about economics, we talk about it.......

Full disclosure, I didn't know a lot. In fact, I wasn't (maybe still not) completely sure how I feel, and given the complexity of implications. That said, I am committed to staying open to new conversations AND open to other points of view AND to creating safe spaces... Love wins!!!💚

• How does one get on the guest list for the Met Gala.. we are trying to go 🤣😂
