  • Manifesting, Mindset and the Power of Affirmations

    Wait... isn't Manifesting a white people thing? NO! it isn't, it's real and it's available to ALL of us. As BIPOC women we need to stop setting ourselves up with limiting beliefs and lean into the abundance that's available to us. That's what Cheryl Sutherland (the guest on this episode) did for herself when she left her full-time career to pursue entrepreneurship and start her brand.  In this episode, we talk about all things manifesting, mindset and affirmations.
