The Dream and Thrive Podcast

In this episode of the Dream + Thrive Podcast I have a conversation with wellness advocate, health and wellness coach, and my personal naturopathic healer, LaShanna Leonard Moore about what it means to live holistically well in today's diet-obsessed culture so you can thrive in the body that you've been given.

In part 2 of this two-part conversation, Tameka Allen is back again and this time we discuss how the online digital marketing community has impacted black creators. We were once again transparent and honest about how we felt about some of the things we have been seeing. It's a very revealing and honest conversation.

On this week's episode, I have a meaningful and raw conversation with Beverly Jurenko, a DEI consultant and the owner of Inside Edge Consulting Group. Beverly and I discuss the state of diversity post the racial reckoning in our country last summer, how she navigates in this space as a white, SIS, female, what it truly means to be an ally, and so much more. It was a conversation I wanted to have because so many white people say they shouldn't speak up about DEI or involve themselves because it's not about them, that it's not their problem, but here is a woman that was not only willing to dive into doing this work, but she wanted to be a part of the solution. I was intrigued about her journey and how she charted her course forward. I hope you will keep an open mind and heart as you listen and let us know what you think.

In part 1 of a two-part conversation, I speak to Tameka Allen, a seasoned digital marketer, online course consultant, & founder of Allen Digital Group about what's really going on in the online digital marketing community. It's an approximately $140 billion industry and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. We didn't hold back at all in our observations of some of the questionable practices we see that may be leading creatives to make decisions that adversely impact their businesses and ultimately their lives. Listen in to this very raw and honest conversation with two women who have a passion for helping business owners to not only succeed but to thrive.

In this episode, I answer the question of whether you should niche or go broad. I discuss the reasons why one will help you stand out and how it all starts with knowing and trusting yourself.

That's exactly why I wanted you to meet Kelli Barrett and Amy Ortmann, the two amazing women behind BMF Fitness.

Not only are they building a great business, but they also have an energized and engaged community of men and women they call #Blasters. On this episode, they have a lot to say about getting healthy and how to quiet the noise around eating healthy and staying fit.

There's so much conflicting information about what you should be doing to build a brand that at times it can be a bit overwhelming. We all want to be successful and grow our businesses but not if it requires that you are less than all of what makes you, YOU. What I've learned over the years is that I need to trust myself, listen to my intuition, and be all of who I was born to be. I truly believe you don't have to hide the things you care about or water down parts of yourself to attract your ideal clients, but instead, lean into who you are and what's most important to you.

In a time when so many people were telling us to write to pain points, Jacqueline was encouraging clients in her membership group to ditch the pain points and lean into more relatable and vulnerable conversations with their ideal customers. The Copy Whisperer herself, Jacqueline shares what she did that helped her to quickly hit a major milestone in her thriving copywriting business, and what you should be doing if you want to connect authentically with the people who most need you.
