In my debut of The 849 Podcast, we embark on a journey of authenticity, growth, and connection. Join me as I welcome you into the heart of this rebranded space – dedicated to every dreamer, every doer, and everyone in between. Discover the story behind the name "The 849 Podcast" and how it represents the pivotal moment when I let go of perfectionism and embraced the beauty of imperfection. Together, we'll explore the themes that define this podcast: faith-based decisions in relationships, business, and life. Let's celebrate our shared humanity, honor our stories, and nurture the spirit of growth. Welcome to The 849 Podcast, where authenticity reigns, and our journey unfolds one story at a time.

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's Day -- I felt this overwhelming sensation to reflect on what my ancestors went through and fought for in order for me to carry THAT torch. That torch which can be your business endevours, your educational pursuits, your right to love without conditions. I am here, today, to carry the brightest torch...and so are you!

What happens when life hands you Lemons? We make Lemon Drop Martinis, of course! You have a fire in you that is requiring your focus, your purpose, and your desire to become a true force to be reckoned with. Dear Top Notch Woman -- I see you, I am you. DO NOT give anyone the authority over your life to control, manipulate, and destroy what God has instilled in you! Work hard, and play harder. And never forget... you ARE a Proverbs 31 woman! 

It's two kinds of people in this world.  The doers and the dreamers. Regardless, of which one you are we all have this one thing in common.  We WILL come across an "L" at any given moment and it's how we respond that either propels or deters us from going further in our journey. Have you ever wanted something so bad that it's literally all you can think about? Whether a job promotion,  a callback for a role, or even a relationship. In this episode, we can learn how a "loss" can became a total win! 

Capital One's slogan is, "What's in Your Wallet?"  Today,  I am challenging you to know for sure what's the business that pays you?  I need you to stop comparing to the next woman or man and focus on and securing your bag!  Are you familiar with the term that the Grass is not always Greener on the other side?  Well, it's the truth.  You haven't an idea what someone has sacrificed and put up with to live a particular lifestyle.  Be grateful and discover your true self-value and worth.

Election Day is right around the corner, as if we aren't constantly bombarded and reminded, on a daily basis.  I want to encourage you to continue to take care of your mental well being and be good to yourself during these unforeseen times.  YOU are the Rose growing through the concrete and you have been equipped and destined for success, and even though your journey is filled with constant uphill battles, "DO NOT HIT SNOOZE ON YOUR DREAMS!"

In this episode, we learn via scripture How Moses calms the Israelites when Pharaoh is chasing them out of Egypt with swords and chariots of soldiers and reminds his people (the Israelites) that The Lord will fight for them, and to just be silent; ref: Exodus 14:14.   We apply this scenario in our day to day activities when we are faced with anxiety, depression, or upsetting  induced situations, but giving ALL of our problems to The Lord He will give us the peace and rest that we desire!
