Who Moved My Birkin?

This week is a special solo episode where I address my biggest pain point in life and in business, fear. I have always been open about how fear has stopped me from accomplishing certain goals. I have gotten in my own way due to fear of failure, rejection and change and I address these in this episode. 

I am ready to embrace fear but not let it stop me from moving forward. I now realise that I do not want to let God's gifts go to waste all because I am afraid. I aim to be more visible, follow me on IG and Twitter @thatgirltammy.

The Book of Self love was written by 13-year-old Haelee Moone. When I first read about Haelee's story I was amazed, to be 13 and be able to write a self-help book was not something I heard on a daily basis therefore I had to get Haelee in the Birkin chair. After battling depression and anxiety from bullying Haelee found strength in removing herself from toxic situations that were not serving her. She found confidence in herself and her voice with both her parenting cheering her on and being great support along the way.

Topics discussed:-

How the idea to write the book manifested

Overcoming depression and anxiety

How to not succumb to peer pressure

Standing out is better than fitting in

I came across Threading Hearts on a Facebook group where Nyshia was spreading awareness of its mission through fashion and beautiful looking bags. In this episode, we discussed Threading Heart's mission to help disadvantaged children living in the foster care system and the reason why Nyshia had to change the business from a non-profit to for profit. 

Born and raised in Georgia, Nyshia dreamt of being a singer and spent some time recording music before she decided to change careers to working with disadvantaged children. She then made the move to being a cabin crew member where she made it her mission to spot children in danger of being trafficked. Nyshia's journey is so inspiring and the bags are so beautiful, her story needed to be told and heard.

This week on #WhoMovedMyBirkin? I was joined by a very special guest - my father. I decided to have him as the very first male guest on the podcast for a special Spotlight episode where we discussed his growing up in Zimbabwe and becoming a father at 21. By 23, he was married with two kids and a wife. He has instilled a lot of values in me and has continuously been my cheerleader, mentor and motivational coach. I wanted to sit down and pick his brains to find out what makes him tick.
