Joining me in the studio is 2 independent contractors from Breathe: Bodywork and Beautification, Anaya of Glow my Body Spa and Krystal of Massaged by Krystal.
We have a discussion about disenfranchised grief or unconventional grief-grief that isn't commonly recognized by society and can often be overlooked or invalidated from peers, coworkers, family, or friends.
But we ALL experience it!

It's a very important episode that SO many people will relate to.
Loss of a pet.
Not having a parent.
Losing a job.
Struggling with identity.

The list could go on and on.
Share with us your story of grief.
We'd love to hear from you.

In Episode 5, we do an unscripted conversation with Erica Owens, the founder of Frugal on the Fly in Detroit. 
Philanthropy is such an important thing to me, my business, and my ethics so meeting Erica to discuss her overwhelming impact in the city in such a short amount of time was truly a blessing.

It was hard enough to make friends as a kid, but at least the teacher shoved your desks together every once in a while and there was a glimmer of a chance that friendship would blossom.  Oftentimes, our friendship needs and dynamics change and we begin craving new friendships.  This can lead to a host of different scenarios and emotions.
Join a fellow communication expert, Jacob Sidock from Cracked Lens Media, as we discuss our personal friendship exploits and our main tips and nuggets of wisdom regarding the complex world of adult friendships.

Welcome to our first guest of the season, Jacob Sidock of Cracked Lens Media!  I started working with Jacob in the fall and now we have been doing a lot together.  Photoshoots, public speaking, and he shot our killer intro and outro video for this podcast!
This episode is about trying to identify what survival mode is, when you are in it, and how to get out of it.  We go into our backgrounds, hustling, and just trying to survive, to make something out of nothing.
This is such a great episode to listen to if you feel like you never get a helping hand or struggle with attempting to start something.

In Episode 2, I talk a little bit about ghosting.
I am no stranger to it and it's a pattern that has repeated throughout my life.
One incidence is a struggle.
But after so many, it can take a pretty severe toll on your ability to trust, to connect, and to move forward with friendships.

Welcome to Episode 1, where I give you a brief update on where I'm at since Season 1-and a lot was going on when I filmed this episode.  We don't always start projects when we're at our peak.  If we had to wait till we were at our best, we might never do these things we set out to do.
Join me where I'm at and wherever you are at in your journey.
Let's navigate this together.

And I want to hear from you!  What's going on in your life?  Share your story in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share our podcast.

I think that people think that once you succeed, that's it.  That is the narrative you're given and then we don't realize how it all can come crashing down for a multitude of factors.  So, in that case....what do you do?  How do you move forward?
Karen Kahn from the former Nosh Pit Detroit is here to answer that question.
She was the guest I wanted since before Day 1 and finally having her on for a tell all (and this could have been a 6-hour episode, let me tell you!) was a narrative I wanted to play out, I wanted to tell.
Success comes at a price, oftentimes.
So, if you're on the road to success, have bounced back and forth up and down, or are just starting out, give this episode a listen and SHARE.

This is the first unscripted episode I've done.
It just felt right and even though I thought I was going to be an emotional hot mess, I wasn't.
I told the story.
I think a lot of people are going to jive with this episode because so many people don't nail sobriety the first time around and feel like a failure.
But it's not a failure.
Never let anyone tell you that.
Some sh!t just takes more practice.

Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have about going sober.  I highly encourage it.
