Join me for a fun conversation with my best friends, Barbara Wynder and Jeanne Wardford. Get ready for a burst of laughter as we explore our lasting friendship.

Good girlfriends aren't just great, they're essential. They offer emotional bonds, unwavering support, and a wealth of love.

These bonds are a must-have, crucial for our overall happiness, and can significantly enhance your life's quality.

So let's dive into the magic of friendship, the delight of shared laughter, and the invaluable gift of companionship.

The story of Tina Tchen is a powerful reminder that one's background or circumstances do not determine their success. Despite facing challenges as the only Asian kid in her high school, Tina Tchin persevered to achieve remarkable accomplishments, including working for the women's movement at an early age, becoming First Lady Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff, leading the Times Up Movement and ultimately becoming a Senior Vice President at the Obama Foundation. Her journey highlights the importance of resilience, courage, and breaking through self-doubt to reach one's full potential. Through her victories and failures, there are valuable insights that can inspire and guide you on your own leadership journeys.

Hearing stories of individuals who achieve great success despite humble beginnings is always inspiring. Russell Williams' journey to winning two Academy Awards is a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and talent. It reminds us that dreams can become a reality with hard work and dedication. Listen and learn how you can make your wildest dreams come true.

We live in a culture that believes getting old means you have outlived your usefulness. After sixty, we start to wonder when we're going to retire. We assume our bodies are not strong and that our minds are dwindling. But that is absolutely not true. It's a cultural lie that we buy into. Because I know Old Chicks Know Shit!! That is why our guest for this episode is the host of a podcast of the same name. Jennifer Authurton is a podcast host and leadership coach focusing on aging women. She helps them realize that they are in the prime of their lives.

The societal perception of female sexuality as either passive and uninteresting or as a force to be feared and controlled creates a restrictive and limiting environment for many modern women. This dichotomy fails to acknowledge the complexity and diversity of female sexuality, leaving women feeling trapped between two extreme expectations.

It is important for women in executive positions to feel empowered to embrace their sensuality while at work, as it is a part of their identity. By finding ways to express sensuality through confidence, style, and personal presentation, women can demonstrate that being both sensual and successful in the workplace is possible.

Cordelia Gaffer is a unique individual who identifies as the Ultimate Joy Goddess, focusing on empowering women and helping them embrace a sense of deep, fulfilling pleasure throughout their lives. She sees herself as a soul medicine woman, providing guidance and support to women who desire a constant state of soft sexual pleasure.

I have spent my entire life looking like a success. But through it all, I was so insecure I had very little self-love. I thought if I emulated the external world, I could be somebody. I was a fake. In 1991, I met Ken Kizer, a coach who relentlessly forced me to face my inner critic! I ended every session with Ken in tears and emotional pain.

Today, I stand in a place that honors me from an internal place of self-love. I still love all my external joys, like clothing, the theater, and hanging out with famous people, but it is not my identity. I am finally the woman I always wanted to be. I glide around with a lot of peace and very little fear about the future. That comes with age, but it mainly involves working with Ken Kizer for 32 years.

I want you to meet my coach, Ken Kizer. In our conversation, I revealed much about me that good friends have not heard. It is said that conversion is good for the soul. It is. I hope you learn something from my journey

Suppose corporations looked into the future and saw financial failure. And support the reason for their failure to enact DEI programs. Malia Lazu's White Paper and book effectively emphasize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the corporate future, highlighting the significant potential for long-term profits that come from establishing a robust DEI pipeline. By outlining the compelling business case for embracing DEI, Malia provides invaluable insights and guidance to corporate leaders, shedding light on the immense benefits that can be derived from prioritizing diversity and inclusivity within organizations.

In her White Paper and a new book (linked below), Malia Lazu offers valuable guidance for corporate leaders on how to move beyond intentions and achieve meaningful impact in their commitments to inclusivity.

By providing actionable steps and strategies, her White Paper serves as a valuable resource for corporate bosses seeking to create real change and foster a truly inclusive environment.

You want to start a business. You need a loan to get it off the ground. But banks are slamming the door in your face. Banks in the US have historically been unaccommodating to Black entrepreneurs seeking loans. Black banks wielded significant power in this country prior to the 1920s when the government-backed banking hierarchy closed them down. In my upcoming podcast, learn how (believe it or not) you can get a bank or ‘Angel’ loan today, even while being Black. My guest is @PorshaBrooks, CEO of LenPick, who says, “I help business owners get approved for business term loans & lines of credit (bad credit, poor cash flow, & startups too). Just tell me your story.”
