The Millennial Dreamers Podcast

I have an update for you, friend. 

Let's get into it. 

Sometimes you have to look at yourself in the mirror and ask, "Is it me? Am I the drama??"

And, by drama I mean, are you the one preventing/stalling what could be the progression of your big idea from thought to profitable business?

In this episode, I get candid on how I've found myself grappling with this very question. I also discuss how you too can get real with yourself and ask the tough questions.

We spend much of our time working. Yet,  many employees are dissatisfied with their jobs. The late bell hooks addressed this topic in her book "All About Love," and offered insight on how, even if you hate your job, you can enhance your capacity to live purposefully by shifting your perspective a bit. We delve into how in today's episode.

This week we are taking it back to one of the first interviews I recorded for the podcast. It was with Gregoire "Greg" Tillery of WeDat's (formerly WeDat's Chicken and Shrimp). 

Our conversation was recorded in 2018 and, to date, it is still mentioned as one of the most inspirational. That's because Greg was so incredibly transparent about his journey that anyone with a dream could relate to the honesty. 

I thought this would be a perfect refresher for all of us aspirers. 

So, let's get into it. 

For colored girls who have the patience of Job and composure of Iron Man.....a working title.

There are few books as influential to my dream chasing journey as Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist." I recommend it as required reading for every dreamer, aspirer, or overall ambitious soul. 

In this episode, I discuss seven key points/quotes from the book that are game changers - plain and simple.

One of the most underrated limiting behaviors some of us engage in is people pleasing. It's subtle and rarely looked at negatively by others because it usually benefits everyone except ourselves.

Gone are the days of feeling used and being taken advantage of. In today's episode, we consider 10 signs that you may be a people pleaser and also 10 ways to combat the behavior (hopefully for good!).

2022 is the year of radical self-acceptance, which means examining opportunities to grow. For us self-diagnosed people pleasers, it may start with a simple "no." 

Let's get into it.
