When Survival Looks Like Success

It's back to an emotional storytelling solo episode for me.
This episode is all about my journey leading up to sobriety.
There is such a vast spectrum of alcohol and alcohol related problems, yet society is hyper focused on the only one they care to count-alcoholism.

This episode is about the signs, my past, and what led up to my decision(s) to quit drinking.

XOXO

I've heard many times that being an entrepreneur requires you to think differently.
You are different.
You're hard wired different.
You challenge authority.
You build a better mousetrap.
So our guest Ken, and I talk about how we felt growing up, how we feel now, and all the beautiful content that comes from feeling kind of outcast and isolated.

This is a very sensitive episode that can be triggering for some individuals.
In it, we discuss the challenges surrounding pregnancy and becoming pregnant.
Our featured guest is Brianna from B. Rooted Wellness, and she shares both her expertise and her personal experiences.
This emotional episode is powerful and speaks volumes.
I hope this opens up dialogue for women to speak more frankly about their experiences, challenges, and hardships in this matter.

Rooted Wellness, a Detroit based doula and lactation consultant.  In this episode, we discuss the options not often given to mothers, education and resources, and some discrimination.
It's an informational and eye-opening episode, especially if you are considering becoming pregnant, are pregnant, or had some struggles during your pregnancy.

Join Me and Rachelle, from Aloe and Alchemy and Love Bomb Weddings while we discuss attracting money, appreciating money, counting your blessings, recognizing wealth, and thinking differently about currency.  If you listened to the last episode, you'll definitely want to listen to this one too!
We have so many different approaches when it comes to wealth and money in this country.
Hopefully, this episode will spark the creativity and insight to find what works for you and start actually getting comfortable with finances.
Because it's not easy.
And her concept of the financial orgasm has stuck in my head for years.

In Episode 15 we talk about something I've spent a lifetime dealing with. 
Money.
Money fear.
Money problems.
Money psychology.
Money hell.
And I did a financial coaching/human design reading with Rachelle, from Aloe and Alchemy and Love Bomb Weddings that helped me so much.
It just gave me permission to know myself better when it came to money.
To understand why I approach finances in a certain way.
And to drop the good/bad labels.
If you need to, pause this episode and jot down some notes. 
We all could use some help in this department and there are some nuggets of gold in this one.

In Episode 14, we get into the somewhat ugly side of the career of being a social media influencer and digital content creator.  Sunny Jo aka Katiann Jo dives in with me as we talk insults, letting things brush off, internet trolls, people being jerks, and how to preserve your mental health and privacy when living so publicly.

I hope you enjoy this episode as I feel it's full of valuable content to consider when leveling up your social media game!

Episode 13 features my spabassador, Katiann Jo aka Sunny!  This model/dancer/vegan activist/brand ambassador/influencer does it all and breaks it down for us.
I think we are all a little bit curious about how it would feel to have that many people following you on social media and what it entails, because the work that goes into it is more than what most people think.
For people in this industry, it's a full time job.
If you or your teen have been glamorizing that life, this is such a good episode for you to listen to you, check in with yourself and relay valuable information pertaining to this ever-popular career.  You won't be sorry!

If you haven't listened to Episode 11, I highly recommend going back and giving it a listen so you can understand why Ericka Murria is the PERFECT person to do this episode with me.
This one is all about that info that may slip through the cracks, the stuff that isn't taught in school, or maybe you just forgot about with all the joys of parenting going on.
These are relevant tidbits from our personal and professional lives that we feel are so important and cover a WIDE variety of topics.
We did this rapid fire, roundtable style to cover as much content as possible!
