I CHOOSE TO LIVE. There are some books that touch your heart in a very special way. The message just stays with you. Letshego's memoir of her late husband Gugulethu Zulu was one of those books for me. I knew after I finished the final page that I wanted to have her on my podcast. One of the quotes in her book is "If Not, Why Not". I later learned that this is the quote that prompted her to say yes to being a houseguest on the podcast. Letshego takes us on a journey of adventure, love, loss and her decision to choose life even after losing her husband. The book teaches us how to be resilient after loss; the loss of a loved one, a job, a business, a dream or whatever the loss is that we are experiencing.

We want to give away this book to 5 listeners. If you want a copy of this book all you have to do is leave a review, take a screenshot and dm me on Instagram @iamportiascott.

We need your help to help 1250 girls stay in school during their monthly cycles by donating to Caring4Girls.

Follow Letshego on IG at @letshego.zulu and popupgym. You can also find her on twitter @letshetgom

You can purchase Lethsego's book at amazon link for her book: I Choose to Live: Life After Losing Gugu

THIS IS INNOVATION. This is our final episode in Season 4. Every episode was recorded right before or in the midst of COVID-19 and our house guests still showed up to tell their stories. Life happens and there are so many things we can't control but what we can control is the decision to pivot when we need and not allow our circumstances to determine our perspective.

We want to serve you better so we need your feedback. Here is a link to our survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P32N6NM

WE ARE TIRED. In this bonus episode I had an open and honest conversation about the heartbreak of so many African Americans when we see yet another man or woman shot for just being black. On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery was killed for #runningwhileblack. This episode is a letter from a black mama to America.

CHEMISTRY. This week's episode was recorded live during our daily show, Wake Up & Show Up Live. In the midst of everything that is going on in the world, I wanted to bring a little reprieve with a love story that was created in the middle of the desert in Iraq during war. Every now and then we find ourselves in hard, uncomfortable and confusing situations but you never know what can be birthed during these times.

TRUST YOUR GUT. In this week's episode, our resident co-host John Henry Scott interviews me. Last week I celebrated my one year anniversary as a full-time entrepreneur. This last year was nothing like I thought it would be but it was one of the best years of my life. We have an open and honest conversation about what this year has meant, how I have managed to keep going and what we are hoping to continue to build. This one is very special to me and I hope you enjoy it.

ALLIES. In this week's episode, I talk to our resident co-host John Henry Scott about how men can support women in the workplace. We recorded this episode right after International Women's Day but then COVID-19 rearranged our life. We all need someone at the table that represents the majority and will fight for us. This episode is a much-needed conversation.
