Guest Bio:

Toni is an award-winning public relations veteran with over 20 years of industry experience. After building a reputation for garnering high-level exposure and developing brand confidence, she is proud to have created a tool that assists individuals in creating similar enthusiasm and confidence; but, on a very personal level. When not speaking or conducting workshops around My Hype Book, her work involves consulting and coaching individuals on ways to amplify their voice by finding the most confident and compelling ways to raise brand awareness and gain meaningful visibility.

Today we’re going to learn what it takes to be a visionary woman from a woman who continues to evolve, grow and expand.

BIO:

With more than 15 years of experience in the aesthetics industry, Nicole Simpson has put her extensive knowledge as a biochemist as well as her experience as a medical aesthetician and educator into the making of Amethyst Skincare. As the former AVP of Global Business Development & Education at SkinCeuticals (L’Oreal), Nicole traveled the world and experienced, firsthand, the impact the environment has on the skin. This led her to develop one of the first skincare lines created for the sole purpose of protecting the skin from the declining environment. Amethyst pinpoints how the skin responds to environmental factors and uses potent ingredients and an innovative delivery system to protect the skin, while also being paraben, gluten, and cruelty-free. Nicole is a Warrior Mom who has learned the hardest lesson of putting herself FIRST!

Episode Description:

“Where are you from?” An innocent question right? Maybe not. Asian people are asked the question “Where are you from?” incessantly. After the pandemic began in 2020, hate crimes against Asian people increased by over 70%. Asians were targeted, ridiculed, and their businesses shunned and forced to close. Today my guest, artist Sandra Hsu, shares her experience as an Asian American woman during the pandemic. She tells us about the platform she created called “Share Your Asian Story” that helps educate and inform through art and storytelling.

Episode Description:

“Sakhi” is a Sanskrit word that means a female friend or confidante. The one who supports and encourages without judgement. When we are in a time of REINVENTION we need the wise council of our Sakhis. What does it take to grow yourself? To let that “fire that burnt you move you to be someone else guiding light”? You don’t get to be a Warrior by avoiding pain and suffering. Reinventing yourself takes and abundance of self-compassion. Maninder Grang is on a compassion journey that began in India and as she expands and grows she has learned to not only have compassion for herself but for her fellow Sakhis as well.
