TwoSistas

TwoSistas on this Memorial Day - we honor those in the military service and their families who have paid the ultimate sacrifice - we honor and respect you - YOU are all the reason we enjoy the freedom and liberties today!!  To the families of the veterans who lost their lives - may the love, peace and all of your amazing memories of your loved ones always fill your hearts - thank you!!

Memorial Day is also the "official" start of the grilling season - what is your favorite side dish and what are you grilling today?  Did someone say "grilled" fruit??!!  Janis' amazing friend, Sandi Kern, shared that you can grill the following fruits on your grill:  pineapple, watermelon, pears, mango, banana, peaches and nectarines.  By the way, grilled fruit is featured in Sandi's cook book due to be out June, 2021:  Desire to be Well - Recipes & Wellness for Health and Happiness!  We will let you know when it's available.

TwoSistas, Fantabulous Friday and it's a wrap - a little saucy, a little of this and that and of course hearing vs listening - what's the difference anyways??!!  Something about something and also nothing about something (or is it the other way around!)  Fantabulous Friday is also about what you can do to celebrate, acknowledge what you have accomplished and what you need to improve on.  We hope you have an amazing weekend!! 

TwoSistas, TrendingThursday and trust us, this is a HOT topic!!  This was a fiery episode on what is happening in the State of Massachusetts with certain bills attempting to be passed concerning minor children!!  We are certainly in the midst and at a critical junction - have those uncomfortable conversations, call/email your local government officials - remember they work for you and your concerns need to be heard!!  Be heard and listen in to today's episode . . . 

TwoSistas - it's WealthWellnessWednesday (perhaps Carroll-Sue's favorite day) and we had on again, our amazing guest, Michele Olivier.  Michele was previously on our podcast on February 11, 2021.  

Michele Olivier offers a unique perspective on career development and job searching, with an impressive record of accomplishment on both sides of the desk. She combines over 20 years of experience in HR and recruitment with certifications in career guidance and counseling, and she knows how to meet the needs of both applicants and organizations when it comes to matching talented people with top jobs.

With global expertise and a list of clients including Big 4, Big Tech, and F500 companies, Michele has recruited at all levels from entry retail through executive. Not only has she filled roles for household names like Microsoft, EA Games, Facebook, and the YMCA, she has worked individually with established professionals to land positions at places from Goldman Sachs to the American Red Cross.

The scope of Michele’s experience spans multiple industries, every career level, and organizations of all sizes. Through this, she has honed a no-nonsense approach when it comes to communicating with clients about the realities of the job market and how to stay competitive. She has even developed and implemented curricula to help both job seekers find work and employers identify talent, which was rolled out internationally and recognized by the British Parliament for excellence. As Principal Consultant with O&H Consulting, Michele and her colleagues channel their expertise into customized resume and career coaching support that helps clients soar above the crowd.

She is the ONE you want to review your resume'!!  Michele also gave us more of an insight on what happens when your resume' is being emailed out - it has to do with your LinkedIn profile - hmmm - you just have to listen in to fine out!!

TwoSistas, TriumphTuesday and all things considered, those small triumphs should definitely be celebrated!!  We always attempt to take a practical approach to completing a task or a goal - what happens when we derail?  Pivots and divots - we you know we always chat about them!  What if we had a way to turn them around - what if they were meant NOT to be turned around?  That means, they are pointing you in a direction to where you should be going and who knows what you will find when you get there??!!  Perhaps something unexpected, perhaps something that was much better than you had anticipated.  Take a moment to pause for reflection; celebrate those triumphs - big or small and celebrate you!!

TwoSistas, MindsetMonday and Janis entering her 60th year on this amazing Earth!!  Today as we celebrate Janis' 59th birthday, we take a look back at all the blessings - from sadness, grief to a sense of gratitude - yes; gratitude because even in the midst of the storm there is always, hope and gratitude!!  A look ahead for this upcoming 60th year and a Happy Anniversary to Carroll-Sue and John who just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary on May 22nd!!  Wow, more synchronicity this upcoming year!!

TwoSistas, Fantabulous Friday and celebrating with all things fantabulous!!  What an amazing week we had with our (3) guests this week who shared so much value - we were blessed to have them all on as May is Mental Health Awareness Month.  They shared their raw and vulnerable stories - so heartfelt!  Also, a look ahead for things to come in Jun - how about JOY??!!  Also, on June 11th, TwoSistas celebrates their 250th Episode - oh what a podcast that will be!!  We are having a round-table podcast and have invited prior podcast guests to celebrate with us!!  We would also love to invite some of our listeners to be with us at our round-table!!  Wow - this is going to be an EPIC 250th Celebration for sure!!  If you are one of our listeners and would like to be our special guest along with our prior podcast guests, please contact Janis ASAP:
