  • Episode 26:"Don't get so caught up in disappointment, that you miss the opportunity" pt 1. w/ Sherisha TheCareerCoach Podcast

    On this episode of She’s Obsessed The Podcast I am speaking with Sherisha Haynes host of The Career Coach Podcast. What started out with solid business talk, turned into a beautiful, soulful (soul-full) exchange which I felt compelled to share on my own podcast - yeah I enjoyed it THAT much!

  • Episode 25: "Creating boundaries is about clear communication - especially in business" sponsored by Motorola UK

    It has been a while to say the least, but I wanted to make sure that my next episode contained tangible advice that would allow you to pause, note take and continue. The next episode of She's Obsessed, the podcast is centered around tech and all the apps you need to help you launch and manage your start up no matter where you are in your journey. I also get to show off my new moto and all of the fancy things it can do to help me remain organised. A big priority for me this year was separating professional and personal, and physically splitting this between two phones has been a big part of this. any questions DM me @jameliaisobsessed, but ultimately let me know if you want to listen to more episodes like this! @motorolauk #PowertoEmpower #motog100 #ReadyFor @motorolauk #PowertoEmpower #motog100 #ReadyFor
