The Ladies' Room

Can we clone Christie Casciano and put her in every newsroom? Her mentorship, encouragement and intelligence are unmatched. She can easily teach a masterclass in balance - being a journalist, author, hockey mom, caregiver and more. We are happy we got to learn even more from her and about her in the episode. We hope you enjoy as much as we did!

The words “unapologetic force revolutionizing the world of television news” are synonymous with the name, Tahera Rahman. You’ll want to clear about 30 minutes of your schedule to listen to this woman’s story, TRUST US. Tahera’s journey is paving the way for so many women and men around the world. We are in awe of her transparency, vulnerability, grit and the beauty she possesses inside and out. So many gems in this episode.

When we say top notch boss babe, just know we are referring to Kristina Orido. This beautiful, sweet spirit is the founder and CEO of the premier vegan, luxury lash brand - Amara Lashes (oh and you’ve seen AMARA Lashes on your favorite celebrities and networks). After completing her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, Kristina took a giant leap of faith and said goodbye to her corporate career and launched her company. She walks us through her journey (highs and lows), gives us the 🔑 to successful entrepreneurship and tells us how she’s using her business to make EVERYONE feel fierce and confident every day of the week! Whew, we have this one on repeat!

EVERYONE needs a doctor like Cynthia Jones, MD, MPH. Her spirit is calming and the prayer she said for us after the interview, whew, it blessed our entire week. Her level of care for her patients and compassion for the community are unmatched. From starting a faith-based hospital in Chicago to being a Chief Medical Officer in Upstate NY, Dr. Jones has paved the way for so many in the medical field. In this episode, we talk being your own health advocate, taking a leap of faith and why representation is so important in the healthcare space!

We had to listen to this episode three times because there were SO MANY gems dropped! We both have at least two pages of notes - it was that good. It’s an honor to sit down with one of our mentors, THE Gwen Webber-McLeod, and learn about leadership, entrepreneurship and the power we hold within. If you want to start a transformational journey of change and walk into your purpose…this episode is for you!

Inspired. Seen. Encouraged. These are just a few words that describe the emotions we felt during our final episode of this season with Tanja Babich. She is a GEM.

We appreciate you so much Tanja!
