Womxn: Candid

Part 2 of JeNae's inspiring and informative conversation with Deborah Vick

In this episode JeNae is joined by Deborah Vick who shares her inspiring story of strength, perseverance, and gratitude as she battles multiple rare diseases. Deborah is currently fighting (and kicking a$$ against) Myasthenia Gravis, Ehlers Danlos, Dysautonomia, severe chronic pain, severe reverse kyphosis, and spinal stenosis along with multiple other secondary disorders. With the support of her family and other loved ones, Deborah is striving to show the world that although things might get hard, following your dreams is undoubtably worth it. Join us as we listen to this breathtaking story and understand the importance of advocating for those with invisible chronic illnesses and other rare diseases, as we are all worthy of living a life full of hope, love and success.

JeNae chats with Payge Taylor a marketing career woman who shares her story about how she got to work for the beauty brand Buxom Cosmetics and gives advice on prioritizing your time, balancing work, side hustles and your social life and how to maintain confidence and go for your goals!

JeNae is joined by Robyn Harzel who shares the story of her heartbreaking loss and how that moment changes her life.

Join JeNae as she chats with Manali Hanamsagar the founder of Matai agency. The conversation spans from the purpose of Matai and the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace to the importance of using privilege for good.

Join JeNae as she talks to Anna who is a financial advisor based out of San Antonio Texas. In this conversation JeNae asks questions about money and savings that we all want to know or have more clarity on. Topics include how to save for emergencies, how early we should start saving for retirement, if life insurance is really worth it and so much more! This information is so relevant especially after the hell Covid19 put a lot of people though and helps us plan on how to better prepare if something like this were to ever happen again in our lifetimes. After listening to this episode you will be running to Excel and making a budgeting spreadsheet (or having some internet tool format it for you....work smarter not harder ladies!)

In this episode of Womxn Candid I am joined by entrepreneur and volunteer firefighter Elaina Lyons. Elaina and I talk about a variety of subjects such as overcoming and facing your fears head on, the blatant and subtle sexism we (and probably most womxn) face, and the differences in the expectations that have been placed on men and womxn in society.
