The Unzipped Podcast

Waiting on 2021 to be great? Are you waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel-like so many others? Well, we have decided to take the road less traveled,  realizing it’s time to light that bitch up ourselves.

Listen as we bring back our favorite segment ”Unzipped Letters”

Before we delve into today's episode we reminisce on how fast 2020 has flashed right before our eyes and almost has come to an end. We discuss our optimism for the future. While so many have felt this has been the most trying time in our history. We encourage you to dig deep to find the brighter side in all things.

2021 is approaching and we want to speak life into the new year. Mary speaks about her appreciation for protecting her mental peace. Living and doing all things with purpose  & not wasting time will be her go-to for the upcoming year.

Shakira speaks on her outlook on focusing on self-care. Not self-care as we all think of as vanity but about self-love & accepting change.  Self-care is taking a pause and learning that pivoting is apart of the plan.  Shakira speaks about embracing each day as an opportunity to pivot for the greater good.

Unzipped letters we give our advise and answer 3 letters.

Letter 2: A young lady wanting to know what advice would we give ourselves and what would we do differently when we started the journey of entrepreneurship in the beginning.

Letter 3: A woman frustrated at always being overlooked at work for promotions. Working hard and putting in the work and being unsure of her future.
