Dana Roquemore is the founder of The Dinner Party Project. I was first introduced to Dana's work through Jenny Joy, who was a guest on Season 1 of The Audacity of She. Aside from the fact that her name is Dana Marie and mine is Dana Cherie, I had a feeling that we needed to connect because we're both interested in bringing people together for good conversation.
What's Covered in this EpisodeIn this conversation, Dana and I talk about...
We also touch on self-awareness and knowing who we are. Why it helps to know what makes you happy, stressed out, and what your triggers are. And getting healthy and whole, so you are really in touch with yourself and whatever role you choose.

In this conversation, Tanya and I talk about…
Tanya also shares why it’s so important to her to be in selfless service — being full enough inside so that she can give to others without any loss. Joyfully showing up and offering compassion, or kindness, or assistance, and the joys of seeing a person’s burdens lifted. And we touch on intuition and getting closer to the soul.
Tanya weaves a lot of travel into her life and though she lives in Minnesota, we chatted while she was abroad in London, which was pretty fun. Enjoy!

Jenny and I met in Todd Herman's 90 Day Year in 2015. She is a force: mom, serious entrepreneur, focused, intelligent, so beautiful (inside and out), and a real joy to be around (pun totally intended). The first time I saw her picture and bio, I was hooked and knew I would have to connect with her. A few months later, we did connect and I'm so happy we did. I believe we have many soul mates, people we are supposed to meet in this lifetime, and Jenny is one of mine.
I really think you'll enjoy her story and appreciate her perspective.
Topics Covered in this Episode:In our conversation, you'll hear how Jenny went from accidental homeschool mom, to serious homeschool mom, to entrepreneur... shedding layers and making BIG at each stage.
See what it took for her to make the leaps, the challenges she took on, how she went from stay-at-home mom with no real work experience to over $400,000 in annual revenue in her cleaning business (Ruby Red Cleaning in Orlando FL, in case you were wondering--and yes, they wear red shoes!) in just a few short years, and lots of good takeaways.
We talk about a surreal moment where Jenny's world stood still as she shifted. The shift? For the first time in her life she realized her happiness is a factor that should be considered. We also talk about...

Sunday is a woman on a mission. When I met her in January 2017 at my New Year Retreat for Women Entrepreneurs, I was so drawn to her bubbly personality. Once we talked, I quickly learned about the challenges she's faced over the past five years.
Sunday's life was changed forever in April 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a year of surgeries, radiation, and chemo therapy, she earned the title "breast cancer survivor". But she didn't stop there! In 2016 she competed in the #1 ranked reality TV show Survivor.
Learn how Sunday navigated the ebbs and flows of a tricky diagnosis, and how it impacted her relationships (she is a married mother of 4 children who, at the time of her diagnosis, ranged between 12-18 years old).
Topics Covered in this Episode
In our conversation you’ll hear about what it's like...
But then you’ll hear how Sunday used this experience to create an amazing experience for herself and now step into a life she would not have otherwise known.
Hero moments, Second baptisms, Turning hard moments into big big blessings. And how Sunday developed a real love of towels (30+ days on a remote island tends to have that effect).
If you’re going through something in your life, or have been through something in your life, or know someone who is going through something in their lives, I promise you’ll love hearing Sunday’s refreshing perspective.
Listening to this interview, I laughed and I teared up a little too. Sunday is such a cool lady and I’m honored to share this conversation with you.
