The minute I talked to Mekka Don on FaceTime I KNEW this guy was somethin' special.

In this episode we talk about how Mekka boldly stepped away from family expectations to carve out his own path in the music industry, challenging conventional norms and embracing his true passions along the way. His story is a testament to courage, authenticity, and the pursuit of one's dreams amid societal pressures. Bias disruptor all the way, baby!

Mekka Don sheds light on the skepticism he faced stepping into rap, a field deeply rooted in street culture, without the traditional backing many expect. From proving his legitimacy to confronting stereotypes, he discusses the importance of perseverance and staying true to his narrative. Drawing parallels with artists like Drake, Mekka underscores the need for authenticity in earning the emotional investment of fans, illustrating how mental agility and resilience are key in navigating such a transformative journey.

With a nod to his upcoming projects, including an anthem and other projects for the Ohio State Buckeyes, Mekka's journey inspires us to recognize our potential and fearlessly pursue our passions. 

There's so much goodness and energy packed into this hour and I can't wait to share it with you!

Thanks Mekka Don, you're a total BADASS in my book!

Get ready for this inspo packed conversation with Amy Nelson! She's a powerhouse of resilience, courage, and entrepreneurial spirit, IMO. Amy briefly recounts her family's harrowing experience with Amazon & the DOJ, but we spent more of our time talking about Amy as a person, and less time on Amazon. We figured they've already gotten too much air time and there's SO much more to Amy's story. (If you're curious about the selacious details of the case you're welcome to hit the Google machine though.)

Amy also shares her transition from attorney to entrepreneur, and the passion and vision behind creating The Riveter, a co-working space designed to empower women. Her dedication to fostering genuine connections and supporting women in business shines brightly, so it's no wonder she has such a strong network of supporters behind her. Join us for a remarkable episode filled with courage, transformation, and the unyielding belief in the power of perseverance.

Thank you, Amy! You're amazing.

Get ready, friends, 'cause this episode is an absolute ride! I sit down with the incomparable Shanisty Ireland—TV reporter turned influencer, stunning mom of five who homeschools them (yes, you read that right), and a woman who knows how to keep it real with flair. We dive into what it's like raising a whole basketball team, making the leap from news desk to the influencer world, and how she does it all without losing her damn mind.

And wait until you meet her dad, Bud! We called him up mid-episode, and this legend served us his best (and slightly questionable) marriage advice, right on the spot! 

This episode is packed with laughs, wild stories, and some honest-to-goodness wisdom you didn’t know you needed. 

So hit play, beautiful badasses, and get ready for a convo as real as it gets!

I met Carla Morrow a few months ago via my friend, Caroline. 

Carla is the associate head coach for The Ohio State University women's bball team. When you first meet her, she has this quiet/intense presence, almost like she's sizing you up (she probably is let's be real.) Once the gates open and she decides to trust you, out comes a warm/kind/clever energy and you quickly feel like you've known her for a long time. I say all that to say she's COOL AS FUCK.

In this episode, we talk about her college career, coaching, her dad, being misunderstood, not caring what "they"think, her daughter, and a lot more.

Thank you, Carla! You're a real one.

I absolutely LOVE when a listener reaches out to me with a guest idea. It's such a great way to connect with incredible human beings like Tom Turcich. So, special shout out to my pals Danielle & Jake for thinking of the show when you found out that Tom would be in town on his book tour. I appreciate you both SO much! 

Speaking of Tom's book, it's an absolute MUST READ. He's the tenth person to walk the world, and his dog Savannah was the first canine to accomplish that impressive feat.

Tom is wise and observant beyond his years, and I walked away with so much from crossing his path.

Thank you Tom, and Keep Moving!

There are so many people/businesses doing incredible things in Columbus, OH, and Freedom a la Cart is one of them.

Freedom a la Cart empowers survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation to build lives of freedom and self-sufficiency. They've created a safe place of restoration where survivors can heal, learn and grow as they prepare for sustainable employment and reintegrate into our community.

Vanessa P is a survivor who has climbed a steep mountain to get where she is today. Her story is one of resilience, bravery and strength and I hope it inspires someone out there today.

If you haven't stopped into the cafe yet, PLEASE put it on your to-do list. It's right downtown at 123 E. Spring St. and it's such a quaint vibe with a light and airy undertone. I LOVE it!
