Today we've got an incredible guest on the show - Keila Hill-Trawick, founder of Little Fish Accounting, host of the Fish Food Podcast, accomplished speaker, and soon-to-be author - and I am thrilled to be sharing this conversation because Keila and I are taking you behind the scenes of entrepreneurship, peeling back the curtain to reveal the nitty-gritty, not-so-glamorous side of running a business. We will dive deep into the foundations of authentic entrepreneurship and break down the myth that success in business is all about hitting that coveted 7-figure revenue mark. It's not just about the numbers; it's about staying true to your authentic self, building a network that genuinely supports you, and knowing your financial numbers inside and out. Keila also highlights the importance of staying true to yourself in business and building networks that allow you to be unapologetically you.  We will also talk about the importance of financial awareness in your business journey, because knowing your numbers is vital for making informed decisions, such as when to take breaks, pivot, or invest in your business. However, the ultimate message we hope to impart is to build a business you love, where your authenticity shines and you are supported by a circle that genuinely wants the best for you. So, stay tuned as we explore how you can create a business that aligns with your passion, joy, and authenticity, where your journey is defined by your own terms, not society's expectations. KEY POINTS  - The unglamorous side of entrepreneurship and moving beyond the 7-figure revenue myth - You can grow your business without getting bigger  - Why understanding your financial numbers is crucial; it's not just about making money but knowing where it's going - The importance of a genuine, intentional circle of friends who offer support, guidance, and a safe space - Hitting the 7-figure revenue mark doesn't guarantee happiness or success, so focus on what genuinely matters to you - Keila shares personal experiences, such as taking a 30-day break and reevaluating her business - The importance of aligning your business with your passion, creating a joyful and fulfilling journey - It's not about societal expectations; it's about your own terms and authenticity QUOTABLES  “If you made more money than you ever did this year but you felt miserable, why do you want to do that again?” - Keila Hill-Trawick “I don't want more clients. I want better clients for what I want to do.” - Keila Hill-Trawick “We tend to think of ourselves as beginners for longer than we're actually beginners.” - Keila Hill-Trawick RESOURCES Keila Hill-Trawick IG | littlefishaccounting LinkedIn | littlefishaccounting  Tune in to the Fish Food Podcast with Keila Hill-Trawick!

If you have followed Jess’s healing journey over the last years, you know your girl has got a little bit of trauma. And no longer wanting to live her life through a lens of pain, she did EVERYTHING to try to change that, from Reiki to hypnosis to therapy. But nothing could have prepared her for the things she uncovered through EDMR.   So in this episode, founder of Therapeutic Serendipity and licensed clinical social worker Heather Holop, joins the show to discuss what EDMR is, why it might be right for you, and how her own journey is one of the reasons she’s so great at what she does.    KEY POINTS: - What is EMDR? - Diving into Jess’s negative cognitions  - Why memories are not intrinsically painful - Are we lying to ourselves or coping? - Where do we go wrong with boundaries?  - “When are we healed?”   QUOTABLES: “It's always something deeper, but they just usually want to work on the stuff that's present. The stuff that’s, I call it, the crisis of the week. I call it chasing cows.” “Your brain stays so focused on the trauma that it doesn't like the truth. And the thought that we develop about ourselves in those moments is actually what is painful. It's not the memory, because the memory only exists in your mind.”   GUEST RESOURCES: Heather Holop, LCSW LinkedIn | linkedin.com/in/heather-holop-lcsw-27873012   Connect with Heather on a One-on-One session: https://calendly.com/therapeuticserendipity/15min?back=1&month=2022-10    PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Love what you’re hearing?

And if you don't invite yourself into that next level, God or the universe or whomever you serve will do it for you.” “Let me put you on a little secret. If you keep choosing not to do the work, and you keep waiting for the correct time for it to come, I promise you, it will meet you where you are most uncomfortable.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Love what you’re hearing?

After 4.5 years of embracing our stuck through The Stranded Phase Podcast, its time we shift and decide to change our own narrative. For those who've followed along on this journey, this doesn't mean we won't be met with pain, we won't get hurt, or we won't go through transitional periods, it means its time we invite wealth into our life in all forms.   A 2 year long healing journey has brought me here. Realizing that being RICH has nothing to do with money. Money is the by product.   This long and necessary invitation that sent me searching inwards brought me to this season of finding happiness in being RICH in connection, RICH in community, RICH in soul, RICH in love, RICH in spirit, RICH in family, and so much more.   From my EMDR therapist, to my relationship coach, to a brain surgeon, and my dear friends in business, I bring you guests this season that would be truly honest about growing, evolving, and dealing with personal and professional journeys at the same damn time.   Welcome RICH IN REAL LIFE

This episode flips the script as Jessica sits down with the Triggered AF podcast for a dose of her infamous vulnerability and raw honesty about just how hard healing and the journey from stranded to rich in real life can be.   Because let’s be real…healing sucks. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and it certainly isn’t linear. And believing we all need to hear and see that more, tune in as these three powerhouse women speak to the pain of breaking patterns, what healing work really looks like, and what their pain has taught them the most.    As they all know too well, “you are only as healed as your next trigger.”   KEY POINTS: - Healing is not a one size fits all process! - The catalyst that brought Jessica to her path of healing - Why breaking patterns can feel like dying 1000 deaths  - Do you like the person you are becoming? - What is EMDR therapy? And other effective healing modalities? - Mastering your shadows and investing in yourself   QUOTABLES: “The real work begins when you are isolated for a little while and you don't like who you're becoming. And you realize everything that you are allowing in your life, the people you're allowing in your life, are all rooted in your trauma. It's all a reflection. The mirror you're creating is just more trash.” “Pain is not a sign that something is wrong with you or that you are broken. Pain is an opportunity. It's an invitation for you to be like okay, something in my mind doesn't feel right; how can I address that.” “People always say ‘feel the feelings.’ But what they really mean is process the feelings. And in order for you to process the feelings, you have to allow them to live their lifecycle.”   GUEST RESOURCES: Like what you're hearing? Follow Triggered AF on social media and share the love!

Because when I started taking care of my wife’s mind and her emotions, my marriage got exponentially better.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Love what you’re hearing?

How is it that so many of us are successful in terms of the money, business, and career we are told to chase but are left feeling empty and unfulfilled?

It is what it is.” “Are there some things I need to change? Some traumas I need to acknowledge? 1000%. But I don't want to take the situation and become somebody I'm not destined to be. And that requires me to process this shit - good, bad, ugly, and indifferent.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: The Shadow Effect by Deepak Chopra   Visit Shelea’s website at https://www.sheleadaily.com/ Follow Shelea on Instagram @sheleadaily - https://www.instagram.com/sheleadaily/ Like Shelea's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/coachingwithshelea/   Love what you’re hearing?

If 2020 was a crazy year for you than I have a feeling I know what your praying for in 2021. A year with normalcy, no more COVID, and a year where you can catch up on all the things you set out to do in 2020 that got pushed back. I truly think 2020 for many of us was cleansing, caused us to sit still, and count our blessings. So I figured next year many of us will be ready to hit the ground running...... and I decide it was only fair since we'll all be chasing success that I print out the warning label for you and provide you with some side effects. Listening in to this weeks episode as we discuss the inevitable side effects of success. If you're not following me already, make sure to come hang out on IG: https://www.instagram.com/jessicahurley__/

Last week I did a sappy episode and this week I feel like I am pouring in my complaints, but if you bare with me for a sec I know I am calling out something you want to complain about too. WHERE ARE MY DAMN FRIENDS? and for that matter, where are those friends I see people on Instagram having that cheer them on daily, want to see them win, and genuinely support them. Does they exist? Even I've been craving to be surrounded by more like minded friends and my recent social media post (view it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRIkQFn4C3/ ) proofs after over 150 comments that I am clearly not the only one. This pandemic has us all going stir crazy and wishing now more than ever we could spend more time with a SOLID group of friends. Come spend this quick 30 mins with me as we discuss why, owning that its time for some new friends, and what this might look. like going into 2021.  And like I mentioned, if you need a group chat you can text me (813) 212-9029 . 

Prepare yourself for a very sappy episode because this episode is like one I've never done. It's more like a journal entry..... I dedicate this episode to my fiance, future husband, Chris. This is all about how this relationship gifted me the freedom to date myself and through my partner I found myself.

If you've felt liked 2020 was a sh*t show, you're not wrong. However, in this episode we discuss why our biggest breakthroughs come in the form of what feels like our biggest breakdown.  And while 2020 may feel like its up In smoke, I want each of us to embrace how much opportunity Is available in the breakdown. How while we pray for changes in our circumstances, we just understand this requires changes within ourselves. Make sure you catch this vulnerable episode about embracing our breakdown to exceed to higher levels.

Ever wake up one day in your 30's or 40's feeling lost? This is a conversation on repeat between friends, strangers, and any current author I am reading from. The person saying it is typically female and the feelings sound similar..... We wake up one day feeling lost, confused, sad, harboring depressed feelings wondering what happened and why we don't feel like this is how it was supposed to be. While it could be exactly what your feeling, I meet women over and over who are truly out of alignment. They spent over 30+ years living for others that they wake up realizing one day they do not know how to live for themselves. This episode uncovers why, the wake up call you may have had, and what it looks like for the next chapter.

Do you believe in the ability to manifest whatever you want? Don't worry, this is coming from the worlds biggest skeptic because for the longest I didn't either. I always imagined the concept meant something like calling for a red bike and it showing up at your door seconds later. For only years later, after plenty of deep dives, and getting out of my own way I realized how powerful the ability to manifest truly is. So much so that in this episode I explain two instances where I manifested exactly what I wanted just by simply following a simple strategy I once read while I was trying to uncover the truth about manifestation. The good news? anyone can do this right now! I am here to help you understand that the universe Is always conspiring to give you exactly what you need to have everything you want, we just have to get out of our own damn way!

In this episode, Jessica talks about the things that is hindering us from achieving our goals in life. These circumstances have turned people’s lives’ upside down. If you are, at these times seeking growth and seeking advice and staying in tuned, you need to give yourself a pat in the back.   Key takeaways: Are we there yet? Success Blaming the pandemic Room for opportunities A handful of reasons why you’re not there yet Lack of clarity Invest some money or some time G.I.V.E. You have to believe it to be true Change old habits You have to fail forward You’re too comfortable Break the chain You are responsible for everything If you can’t keep a promise to yourself, you can’t keep a promise to anyone.  

This episode IS A MUST!!!! It is truly about as honest as its going to get. The conversation I was craving on The Stranded phase and I am sure you are too was an honest one that I knew would make many uncomfortable. A conversation about racism, white people, colorism, micro-aggression, protesting, and what keeping this movement alive and well actually looks like WHILE talking about the history so many of us aren't aware of before we open our mouth. In this incredible episode we talk with criminal and family law attorney, Caila Coleman, about the Black Lives Matter movement. This is nothing of an incredible and vulnerable perspective from a black woman who is responsible for upholding the law. I sincerely wanted to hear the thoughts from people of color who were in roles where they were sworn to serve and protect and uphold the law while it feels as if most Americans don't.  In this episode, we discuss how even a woman who is responsible for serving and upholding the law deals with constant stereotyping and racism. We discuss colorism in the black community and how the law is different for darker skinned individuals.  Caila helps us understand micro-aggressions and how there are little limits to where they exist. She stresses to us that it is time to speak up but not to overpower the voices of those that are oppressed. Caila even discusses with us understanding your prosecutors roles and be careful who you elect into those roles and why it is so important for her to become a judge. From code switching to code words used to explain to black youth how to behave in public, this episode is to purely enlighten and one that EVERYONE involved needs to hear.

In April 2018, I had the opportunity to do a TEDx speech. When I asked my peers what I should discuss, they all responded with the same message, "talk about your passion for mentoring." The true power of mentoring is so important to me because a powerful mentor relationship at the age of 16 changed the entire trajectory of my life. I promise you, I wouldn't be here. That relationship and transformation led me to do it for other people. I even worked for non-profits for over 10 years that solely served at risk people of color around mentoring and programs to prevent them from the prison pipeline.  If you are looking for others way to directly impact lives right now, mentoring at a local organization may be an option. I am not saying this is the solution, it may just be one for many who aren't able to protest or are looking for a more direct impact.  And if you've ever thought about mentoring but feel like the invest of time wont equal a true transformation, I am here to tell you how far off you are. However, I encourage you to listen to this TEDx speech to truly understand how POWERFUL of mentoring a few people actually is.  Watch the full TEDx video on youtube here: The Ripple Effect of Mentoring Download "How-To" Guide to securing your own TEDx speech: How To Secure A TEDx Talk

During a trying time, this may be the most vulnerable episode I ever produce. But all I could think of this podcast has been through my willingness to share my most vulnerable and STUCK moments with you in light that they may help someone. And the truth is, I was angry beyond believe when I saw what happened to George Floyd. In the coming days I had moments shortly after where I allowed my ego to silence me and became angered and triggered with every opinion. My journey through why I felt silenced and why I felt angry was something I had to work through on my own, so I openly give you my journal entry in this episode about acknowledging "white privilege" and how I had to own my role as an accessory to all of this. 

Now that we can all acknowledge how crazy this is, it's time to talk about next steps and solutions. But as a non-black or white person, what do you do? I get it, I asked myself this for days. This is only what I've researched and found. I do not discredit black opinions because we will have several black guests this week also asking them the same question. I also would like to encourage you to do the same, call your black friends and check on them and ask them how you can help. Everyone I wanted to chat with does not have a voice left from protesting. But this is one of MANY episodes this week regarding things I've pulled from to help answer your questions about what we can do NOW to use our #whiteprivilege to make sure our black friends and family are seen, heard, and most importantly protected during this time.  Lets not sit silent, but stand loud because we refuse to be neutral any longer. Listen in because here are some ways. In this episode, we discussed donating to bond funds and I promised to list them, here are some non-profit bond funds: https://brooklynbailfund.org/ https://chicagobond.org/ https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/ https://www.reclaimtheblock.org/home https://www.phillybailout.com/ https://www.detroitjustice.org/ & SOOOO MANY MORE!!

Happy Friday!! Remember Truth or Dare? The truth part was easy, but the dare really showed everyone what you were made of. However, we never seemed to back down, even if we didn't know what was ahead of us. What happened? We grew up, matured, experienced life and its sharp edges, but its time to dare ourselves again. Except this competition is US, and the audience to prove yourself to is YOU! I DARE YOU.....

Ever dream of starting your own podcast? Podcasts aren't just a business card for your business or a place to create authority. They are also for anyone who feels compelled to impact others through story. There is no better platform than podcasting to scale intimacy with a community of like-minded people. If you've been wondering where "your people" are, it might time to create a place for them to feel heard and understood.  But how?! In this feature episode I chat with the host of the "SoulBiz Ignition Podcast," Stephanie Starr and she opens up about always wanting to start a podcast and not being sure how. We not only discuss how beneficial podcasting can be for your brand and business but how to get started now with some simple steps.  Don't waste anymore time, this is the perfect time to carve out your piece of the world in the podcasting industry.  If you're looking to start a podcast in less than 30 days, check out our work and schedule a call here: www.instapodcasts.com

For most of us its hard not hear, "all I do is WIN" in the background.  We're taught losing isn't an option and that second place means failure. Even when we have enough sense to understand failing forward is the quickest way to learn and as most would say, "required in business," no one ever talks about experiencing ultimate failure. Lifelong dreams that are met with the highest expectations for years that you think about it so much that it would pain you significantly not to have it. What happens if you don't achieve it? what if there is no plan b? I couldn't think of a better person than my childhood best friend, Rontel Batie, to do is first interview about experiencing true failure. The kind of failure that leaves a temporary hold but a long term pain that will have you questioning yourself for years to come.  Anyone that knew Rontel closely, ourselves included, knew by this age Rontel would only be found in one place.......congress. He would be sitting high on capitol hill looking out for us, "little folks." We knew this to be certain because Rontel had been working on this for well over 14 years. Before we left high school, he knew. He knew he'd run for office one day. So he spent every waking moment as a senior in high school and every year after fighting for the only thing he knew he was created to do. Except, it didn't. In 2018, Rontel ran for congress and failed. He had to drop out before he truly got a chance because of broken promises and unworthy bank account. This was failure glaring him in the face. But what happened years after is what's remarkable and unexpected........it was something even Rontel didn't expect. This episode truly uncovers why sometimes failure even on a deep level can become one of the most remarkable redirections ever. The failure is really protection returning you to a more useful, powerful, and respected space. Sometimes you prompted to try again and sometimes you are being pushed to uncover what's in the other direction.   

Whether you're a full blown entrepreneur or have been side hustling for a while, this current situation has caused us all fear, doubt, and uncertainty.  Not only are most of us operating from a place of suffering now more than we ever have, but the question of "what to do" to keep your business alive during such unforeseen circumstance isn't something you read about in business books. In this episode, I talk with 3 of my favorite entrepreneurs about what they've done to pivot to keep their business afloat, how its affected them, the sacrifices they've had to make, and what we've decided to do during this time to help other entrepreneurs. The 4 of us have joined forces this coming Saturday, April 11th to help other entrepreneurs by sharing the very tools that built our businesses.

As fast as we can think of what we want or desire, we can usually just as fast come up with excuses or fears as to why not.  However todays guest, Kim Gentry, did not let that stop her. This episode is full of game as we talk through Kim's journey of being a HR professional for over a decade and where she accidentally saw a hole in the market and decided the fill it.  Kim had no experience to in the makeup industry, no experience selling products, yet her bag is STILL selling like hot cakes 6 months later.

Tired of the coronavirus? Me too! I think we all are, but just like any butt whopping, it seems its going to last a little longer than we would like.  We are resilient humans with powerful souls that WILL come out on the best side of this. But in the meantime, in between time, we have to not only do our "due dilligence" when it comes to social distancing but also focus on getting unstuck. This is a calling for all of us to shift, the world is healing, we are being called as a collective to sit at home and do all of the things we always say we never have time to do. Let recognize this as the gift it is and prepare for a major shift in the world and our personal lives and purpose as well.

It's time to innovate our income. It's 2020 and there has never been a better time to create multiple streams of income with all of the opportunities available.  Except there is one problem, you still can't manage the money you make now. This is critical because it's your relationship with money that will effect everything else in your life. Your relationship with money is ALSO why whether you get a raise or lose a bill you will always and forever have money issues. This episode is all about how my guest and business partner, Megan Galane had to climb her way out of a relationship because it was significantly effecting her life and her money.

If you don't know, now you know! In late July 2019 I was featured on The GirlCEO podcast with Ronne Brown.

Ronne literally helped me elevate my confidence and keep in there.  Make sure you listen to this episode before you end 2019 so that you understand clearly that we all must start somewhere and be willing to suck!

Get ready for a SPECIAL EDITION EPISODE with my fiancee' Chris Bruce, except this time he is interviewing me about every reason why we almost weren't able to make this relationship work. I don't know If I ever told anyone this, but the first 3 years of my relationship with my fiancee' I was dating a man I really didn't care to understand. I knew he flipped houses, I knew he was into digital marketing, I knew he loved to be spontaneous, and I loved him dearly. However, I didn't ever understand what he meant when he was constantly talking about "self-development and "fixing yourself." I often thought, "Why would I read self-development books if nothing is wrong with me?" Yea guys, I was that big headed. lol. Honestly, I just had no idea what a good look in the mirror looked like. I had no idea what taking responsibility and constructive criticism meant because all I knew how to do was create the high goals, check the boxes, be honored for them, and move on to the next.  It wasn't until 2017 that I really started to understand the value of self-development and the true power of walking the same path as my soon to be spouse and man was I missing out. This wasn't copying what he was doing, it was seeking my own journey that then allowed us to better understand one another. So join us today for a SUPER vulnerable conversation as we discuss contending for each others time, how my mindset almost broke us apart, and how much things have changed now that we are walking a similar path. 

This is Ingrid's second time joining us on The Stranded. She first joined us to talk about her international movement, Women Ambassadors Forum. She is now back to have an honest conversation with me about the lonely journey of Entrepreneurship. Since the day Ingrid and I met we began supporting each other because we knew how crazy this journey was. It just so happens that we manifested quitting our corporate jobs on the same day without even knowing. We both open up about what it truly looks like when you do leave your corporate job and the fear/excitement that comes after and what it takes to stay afloat from friends, to supportive circles, and creating your own income!

Is it the idea of losing weight? Maybe it’s the idea of starting your own business? Or saying something you’ve never said or putting your voice out there? Or maybe you already have a business and you want to take it to the next level or maybe you’re already fit but you want to compete in fitness competitions now but something is holding you back? That’s RESISTANCE. Resistance is the reaction you have to subtle fear that grows and manifests and leads you to believe this thing isn’t for you.   I want you to listen to today’s 15 min Friday and consider the sighting of resistance to mean something else, that something big is coming and resistance is just blocking your blessings. It’s like “every new level, there is a new devil they say” and I want you to know every time you suffer from the feeling of resistance, it’s just the security guard, to the most beautiful version of yourself you could ever imagine.

As were all joining in the Kumbaya of 2019, swearing we’ll change and being overly nice like it’s still Thanksgiving there is some bold truth you need to hear, it’s that you will fail. Failure for those who get out of fear and actually try is simply inevitable.   If this is the year you plan to build the life of your dreams, expect to fail. I actually don’t know anyone who hasn’t, myself included. Since failure is non-negotiable and will build the character I figured we could discuss a few misconceptions and how to best handle it.   Join me today as we discuss 3 misconceptions about failure and how to bounce back quickly when facing failure head on!

To best celebrate Christmas and the New Year, I figured it was only right to make sure I give you some good advice! If you need anything like the a*$ kicking I needed last year it needed to be revolutionary and aggressive.  So I decided while your sitting next to Grandma this year for Christmas, I'd give you permission to do 25 things differently in 2019 that even Grandma wouldn't allow. Scratch tradition, manners, and expectations, there are some things I want to get off my chest about being "realistic" and why those things don't need to follow you into the new year. I'm praying you go into the New Year with a new attitude on this episode.

This is THE episode every thriving female Entrepreneur has been waiting for! Today’s guest, Alicia Waldner, is taking the Tampa Bay area by storm as the founder of an innovative marketing company called, ADventure marketing. This conversation is worth every second of your time as I believe Alicia’s journey thus far truly defines true grit. This 23 YEAR OLD (yes,you read that right), WILL inspire you to do something now. No matter the odds, the lack of resources, the doubt, do something you’ve always wanted to do right NOW. Alicia first business attempt failed miserably and she knows her second attempt would not have been nearly as successful had her and her partner not tried and failed once before. From cutting her own family off to push her dreams forward, to leaving a corporate job and taking a serving job just to build her business, this is truly the road map for what real successful entrepreneurship looks like, kinda like a roller coaster ride. Don’t miss this episode opening you up to the real truth about what roadblocks to expect when building the life you’ve dreamt of.

Last Friday we discussed recommitting to the goals that we fell short on last year and today we discuss re-evaluating our definition of success. It is too easy to get caught up in social norms and allowing them to define what success looks like until you look up after achieving everything and realize it is none of what you actually wanted. The key to success is creating the right goals, but if your version of success wasn’t the right one you could have been taking the wrong steps all along. Sometimes falling short isn't due to poor action, it’s due to having the wrong end goal in mind.  I hope you take the next 15 minutes to decide if you need to re-evaluate what success means to you.

In the month of December it's only right I do two things. Keep you in the know about what's going on in this crazy world and make sure I give you all the "feel good" content as we are in the holiday spirit. Today's episode focuses on something we've all dealt with before and ultimately can't ignore, bullying. Almost all of us have once been bullied and if you haven't you might've been the bully. My guest today, Kristi Kennedy, gets vulnerable with us about how her ex-husband once being bullied eventually turned him into the family bully. While this experience had quite the impact on Kristi and her children, Kristi used her experience to help others like her ex-husband and her by creating the BeeFriendly Network. The Beefriendly Network is an organization created to go into the schools once nominated by parents to help banish bullying for life, and they start as early as 6 years old. So if you have young children please believe Kristi will break down for you how this is already an issue. To my surprise we even discuss how there are so many types of bullying and most of us don't even realize we are being bullied. We also discuss how bullying extends to adulthood and those effected are in our workplace. Don't miss an opportunity to hear from a game changer like Kristi Kennedy!

As we enter my favorite month, December, it’s time we get REAL about our plans for 2019. For this entire month, every Friday, my goal is to discuss something that will help you swing for the fences in 2019.   This Friday we are discussing your intentions and why you might not have got every one of those goals right from earlier this year. There’s a few important questions I want you to ask yourself when you re-evaluate those goals and intend to rewrite them and for you to consider that all of them may not be worth recommitting too.

Today’s guest is a beautiful soul I’ve followed for years. Host of her own popular podcast, The Happy Hour, and author of “If you only knew.” A woman very open about her journey with GOD and a mother of 4 who married a pastor, her life sounds simple. However her love for vulnerability and ability to open up in her book is eye opening and should inspire all of us to have more authentic and honest conversations.   We discuss not being perfect and never being perfect as mothers or women and learning to own it. Her awe inspiring journey from soccer mom to radio DJ and now traveling speaker and podcast host with her own in person LIVE events will have you realizing the only person limiting you is yourself.   This episode isn’t the one to miss with the queen of the Happy Hour, Jamie Ivey.   Follow Jamie Ivey’s IG: @JamieIvey Website: JamieIvey.com

This is my attempt to debunk how we glorify "being yourself" as the answer to all of our problems. I absolutely know it to be true that developing "self-love" comes from learning how to love and be yourself.  However, I have too many times heard "thats just who I am" used as an excuse for not being able to achieve something, avoiding the authentic truth, or taking responsibility for their actions. I want to make sure as we work on self-discovery we understand that who we are may have to evolve sometimes to become who we want to be.

You’ve finally reached your dream job, bought your dream house, and you’re driving your dream car...... you’ve achieved all you’ve ever dreamed of. Congratulations! But what are your plans when it all comes crashing down? Today’s guests story about loosing it all because of her company being bought out and loosing her position will blow you away how she maneuvered to not let that steal her shine. The word evolve is key here. Brittany took an idea in the back of her mind and busted her butt to make it work. Her inspiring story and passion will get you moving this Tuesday! Don’t miss out on understanding that trying circumstances are some times the push we need to fulfill a destiny that’s already laid out for us!

Ever wonder where all of your friends are? If you’re anything like me you are. Close to 30, super busy, very focused, in a serious relationship with kids, and 90% of the time your very occupied but every now and then you look up and wonder where are my friends?   Who’s fault is it that your circle of girlfriends is gone? Well according to science, for women this is in our nature. I’ve struggled this year with keeping up with my old friends and found a million excuses as to why. After talking with others and you all, I found out I am not the only one who is struggling with this.   Check out what science says and what you can do differently in this episode all about the mistake I made insisting that I didn’t need my friends.

Life is NOT a waiting room, so what are you waiting for? This concept set so deep into my soul this weekend while I sat at a conference that was deep diving into all the technical stuff my business needs to move forward. It took me 3 days to finally understand what they were talking about, but when I left it dawned on me “waiting” to seek this information actually held my progress and the success of my business back….about 6+ months. Most of us are paralyzed by fear or afraid to act because we're unsure if our idea or business is validated. Would anyone actually buy what I am selling OR care about what I am doing? There is no better way to know that when to start. I give you 6 practical steps to move you from your stuck phase and into real action!    

I don’t know where you’re at along your personal journey but regardless I know it’s key that you surround yourself with like-minded women by any means necessary. This year I’ve been blessed to meet several and ironically while we are all sharing similar blessings, we are all also dealing with similar issues with family, friends, and loved ones NOT supporting our journey. Rachel Burns and I talk about her journey as an entrepreneur focused on helping you understand the power behind working on your gut health. We also talk about the text message she received after a post went viral on Instagram from a close friend that wasn’t as supportive as one would expect. For the last few weeks, I’ve had SEVERAL female entrepreneurs reach out and ask me about similar issues and the answer is yes. You will have people who won’t support you simply because they don’t understand your journey. Rachel and I break down what you should do and how to move forward when those closest to you simply don’t understand the passion and mind behind us “creatives.”

Today’s interview is my inspiration! The very first female entrepreneur I ever followed on social media was Ms. Arian Simone. She has no idea, but her vulnerability and “never take no for an answer” type of confidence led me to believe I could too become an entrepreneur. She shares with us how she went from being broke in LA trying to make a way and sneaking herself into the BET awards just 11 years ago to becoming the founder of Fearless Magazine and throwing parties and running PR for the same celebrities she once snuck in to see. Her story is one of my favorites, she even talks about name dropping someone in an interview that she didn’t even know. Arian now has a clothing line, a magazine, two books, and hosts numerous women’s conference each year to empower other women to take control of their own destiny by being fearless in their pursuit. Check out Arian on IG: @ariansimone 

It’s been just about a year since I’ve been on this entrepreneurship journey and juggling my podcast, coaching clients, my full time job, my son, my boyfriend, traveling for work, and trying to keep my friends and I still feel like I have a LONG way to go. However, I know the end of this road is bookworthy because it’s already been a wild ride. So in honor of today’s episode being my 50th Episode, I wanted to celebrate making it past the “this is just a hobby milestone” by giving you 50 things I have learned about Entrepreneurship & Life. This one is noteworthy, trust me!  

When my "One year ago today" facebook photo popped up this week, I couldn't believe the flooding feelings I felt about where I was at a year ago.   Just 365 days ago I'd just left the hospital from visiting my son at the NICU, we put a "2 month old" shirt on him and celebrated with kisses and taking photos. I then drove to Miami for work and dove head first into overwhelm and guilt the whole ride over. I felt like everything I knew had come to an end, the "preemie mom" I was about to become was going to be hard, and I had no idea how to bare the guilt of my sons health. I couldn't see a future anymore in those moments, I could barely figure out how to deal with tomorrow.  When I think back to those moments, I can easily recall saying last year was the worst year of my life several times. Know my worst year was jus 365 days ago is crazy and thats why I did this episode, because I am currently living "my best life" this year. I've never been this happy and never had more confidence in my abilities that I found this year. In this episode, I discuss the defining factor this year that helped me change and illustrate one of the best years of my life. We also discuss one of my recent goals I crossed off my list by crushing a women's mastermind this past weekend! Video details coming soon but it was so good we've already planned the second one.

Trust is EVERYTHING in a relationship they tell us. But what about the trust we have in our decisions, in our choices, with our faith that we will succeed, and even in the mistakes we make? It feels dangerous sometimes to be ourselves around certain people, but the problem is that those people are not the ones to blame. We must learn to trust ourselves and the way we handle “Not so hot” situations. I realized recently that the main symptom to us not trusting others is the lack in our ability to trust ourselves. Today we talk about why we don’t trust ourselves, how to discover when we don’t, and steps to rebuild our self-trust similar to how we rebuild trust in relationships with others.   T-shirt: @twoinspireco

Instead of our usual 15 min Friday, I am sharing a recent interview I was featured on for the Refuse Defeat Podcast. I am sharing this one because I had an opportunity to share some truth about what I consider my biggest failure regarding my business.  We also chat about why I finally started life and online coaching business after contemplating it for 3 years first, dealing with imposted syndrome, and thinking no one would dare consider me an expert in anything. For those of you looking to start a business or with a great idea but unsure where to start, we also discuss our upcoming mastermind event in a few weeks and why it's a must for those looks to turn that passion into profit!

As we navigate the world to becoming “real adults,” our wants and needs change. Serious dating is important right now, and part of that formula includes marriage and sometimes the unfortunate reality of divorce. So weather your single, dating, or married this interview is insanely interesting about how becoming whole first is so important. With a 50% divorce rate being mentioned too often and hanging over our heads I’ve set out to talk to some experts. I talk with Leanne Townsend today, Family Law Attorney and divorce coach. We chat about Leanne’s very own stranded phase of finding herself stuck in her 40’s after dealing with her own divorce and losing her father. She even found herself struggling to stay “perfect” and resorting to things like drinking just to make it through the day. We talk a lot about judgement and how judgemental she admits to being before she fell into her very own stranded phase. Leanne has now stepped into her power and is helping women do the same after dealing with what is considered the #2 most stressful circumstance in life, which is DIVORCE. You can check out Leanne’s blog here: http://leannetownsend.ca/ Or follow her on IG here: @leannetownsendlife

Today’s fireside style chat is with my good friend in business, Megan Galane. We chat all about her experience lining things up to be an occupational therapist and then realizing in the midst of interviews that this avenue wasn’t for her. Now the business development guru for an IRA company and a digital marketer Megan has found her passion and has had one heck of a journey getting there. We discuss how as an entrepreneur you must be willing to refuse defeat because failure is a necessary obstacle and not the end. Deep diving into this entrepreneurship journey is tough, scary, and quite lonely. After going on a blind business date with Megan we both realized that this is what every woman needs on this journey. Not only has Megan been instrumental in helping my build systems in my business and allow me to spend less time on the “dollar tasks” but she’s also been there every step of the way cheering me on and helping bring my ideas to life. Megan and I dig deep about our upcoming event and why it’s important for women to attend because we diving into how to turn that burning desire into profit and if you have a business how to level up and put systems in place so you don’t have to deal with the crazy mistakes Megan or I have.

In honor of my sons 1st Birthday, I thought it was only right to open up about what happened a year ago. Since we are on the brighter side of things, and our son is healthier than ever I wanted to be vulnerable about this experience hoping it would allow someone else to open up who may be dealing with it or need help. Our son was unexpectedly born 3 months early and enter the word at an alarming weight of 2lbs. His rate of survival was unknown and all Chris and I had to rest on was faith.  Our son spent 82 LONG days growing up in the NICU. Milestones for us were when he had certain tubes removed, or he decided on a certain day that he would try a bottle. I can't believe looking back on those times, when Doctors were telling us Cameron had brain bleeds, needed blood transfusions, and would have vision issues forever that our son is doing so well now and suffering from NONE of those issues. If you or anyone you know has questions or has a preemie child, please send an email to, info@thestrandedphase.com. I am here to help mommies everywhere feel any sense of comfort during their time of need.  

Today I reflect on something very personal for myself and my family! Its the fact that my son is turning one in a week and that means I have spent this entire last year learning to manage my life plus a little person who owns me. My son had a difficult journey, many of my long time listeners know my son spent the first 3 months of his life living in the NICU. So this birthday, this milestone, is that much sweeter for Mommy and Daddy because we are celebrating our resilient son. In celebration of my munchkin I present an episode to you full of my fast track, learn by fire lessons I learned the hard way in my first year of Motherhood. If your listening and you can relate, make sure to comment and review to let me know if this was helpful.    

This episode might be an Oprah level interview, simply because today's guest is a rockstar! From her vulnerability about removing her breast implants after 10 years to dealing with years of an eating disorder, were checking in with Sarah Anne Stewart to hear about how she took responsibiity and changed the narrative of her own story. Sarah gets deep with us about the foods we choose to eat and how, believe it or not, loosing weight is more about what you allow your mind to tell you then it is about weight loss. You must fall in love with your body, and that must start by monitoring the food we put in our body. We discuss self-love and how we live in an insanely competitive culture currently. She tells the truth about removing her breast implants and we hear her plea for you to reach out if your considering having them done or considering to have them removed.  Sarah is a true testament to the fact that despite poor choices you can fall in love with yourself over and over again.

Join in on this episode for the answer we've ALL been searching for! Myself and fellow FSU alumni, Dr. Keita Joy, discuss the truth about work life balance for career driven and entrepreneur women. She even invites women to understand that men don't roam the earth these days searching for work/life balance. Dr. Joy highlights that the most important part of finding a balance is first defining success on your own terms and not comparing your goals to others. We discuss navigating through different seasons of life, identifying our rocks, and how certain seasons cant include everything and everyone. Dr. Joy stresses that women take off the super woman cape and own that we cant do this alone. Note: You may find yourself adjusting the volume on this episode as my MIC seems to need some QT from me.

I dont think there is a more relatable episode than todays episode with Aicha Ayana. She is an Author of two amazing books, a mom of 3 children, and the founder of the WomanUp Network. She manages all of this while creating creative events to inspire others while traveling the world to inspire and empower others.  I had an opportunity to sit with her for this episode and Aicha is proof that their is power in a story of trauma. Aicha lived a rough life and struggled a lot just to get ahead, but she knew the entire time this discomfort was building her for much more ahead. We talk her's mothers passing at a young age, spirituality, and taking on college with 3 children. She discusses why she worked so hard to only leave corporate America and why it should be purpose over money always. Her ability to refuse defeat and continuing on even when she was unsure how will draw you to her, if your going to listen to anyone about your stuck phase, its Aicha! Aicha has helped thousands in her community alone, as well as woman all over the world. We also dive into her most recent book, "The Diary of A Broken Woman," because this is a truth every woman NEEDS to hear.  

From corrections officer to CEO of her own brand, Live Limitless, todays guest is a two time author whose work has been published in Forbes, Huffpost, and Fox 35 News.  Her plans were set in stone at the early age, she was ready to go to college across the country in California and live the American dream, but that never happened. If you let her tell it, God had other plans for her life.  Fast forward to today and the Wife and Mother of 3 is now a true testament to why she wasn't allowed to settle with the life she had in mind, she was meant for so much more. Her business success as well as her positive perspective is something we ALL should be taking note from. Dive deep with us while we talk about her 6 hour drive from home to college daily, her transition from correction officer to success business, and why she didn't want to work just to retire and die soon after. Sierra is a true proponent of this generation owning their fearlessness, there is no one like us right now. Her theory on letting go of the desired outcome might be the mental block between us and success. Plus, we dive deep some of her keys to unlocking potential from her most recent book, Live Limitless:A Millennials Guide to Greatness. This episode is a MUST! and fair warning, you may want to start a side hustle after this.

This awesome, take no excuses boss chick, Taylor Clark, at the young age of 24 is taking over this world by vividly claiming it and not taking no for an answer. Manifestation has been the name of the game for her, after suffering from a rut years after graduating college she had a mindset shift after listening to interviews with Entrepreneur and youtube sensation, Garyvee. She decided that she needed 10 mins with Garyvee to get clarity about her next steps as an Entrepreneur. Just weeks later she found herself on a call with him and a year later she was talking with him in his office. This interview is not only a true testament to the POWER of the "law of attraction" but also how your entire life trajectory can change forever in less than a year once you set your mind to it. Taylor now has a successful clothing line called, DNA, and is coaching people who want to end the rat race and start "living the life you love."

In one of my truest forms, I got real on my recent 15 min episode regarding some stupid things I've done. The reality of those mistakes is they happened and they will happen again. What I have discovered is that everyone I surround myself with has forgiven me for each and everyone one of those ridiculous mistakes, but I still struggle with forgiving myself.  That 5 letter word dragging us all down is the word GUILT. Check out this 15 min Friday of how we let Guilt ruin us and steps to letting it go.

And God said, "Love your enemy" and I obeyed him and loved myself. Part 2, is all about self-love as we close on the rest of Ismael Browns amazing book, "My Own Worst Enemy: A Black Mans American Story."  We discuss my two FAVORITE parts of his book. A long letter addressed to his father where he apologizes for not asking for love and an entire chapter on his role as a womanizer.  Not pointing the finger outward and instead pointing it inward is where Ismael decided to make his biggest changes, even with the ones who hurt him the most. Ismael even explains how finding happiness sometimes is just shifting the pain.  For my ladies, this womanizer chapter is telling on all men. Ismael and I discuss culture and how it has damaged relationships but what women can do while right now when faced with these situations.  Ismael embraces all his insecurities in this final episode and we both ask if your listening that you do the same, we need to all own that having insecurities are NORMAL and it doesn't mean you cant love yourself. If you've dealt with a womanizer and are wondering why or searching for your happiness, Ismael gives you the blueprint in this episode. **If you know anyone dealing with or contemplating suicide please refer them to this episode as we both make a plea that you talk to someone because being stuck in a toxic frame of mind was real for Ismael as he attempted suicide once before.**    

I Used this 15 min Friday to talk about something I've struggled with and by changing it this year my life has dramatically improved.....and that is self-confidence. Not to be confused with self-esteem or self-approval, but the way we carry ourselves and believe in our ability to pursue anything without living in fear or doubt. I discuss how I worked to courageously deal with fear head on this year and the compromise that comes with building a better version of you. I mention how letting go of doubtful friends and comparison is a nice place to start. Happy Friday!

Todays episode with Ismael Brown is all about his recent book, "My Own Worst Enemy: A Black Mans American Story." In just a short hour we discuss how this book dismantles everything men are taught to believe about manhood in America and regardless of his circumstances, Ismael believes he is still to blame for his shortcomings. His failed relationships, friendships, and the unbearable weight he uncovers of fearing the people who profess their love for him the most. The honesty about his trauma and vulnerability about chasing away love even when its the deepest thing we crave is a problem so many of us struggle with.  This riveting conversation is something regardless of race WE ALL NEED TO HEAR. Ismael discusses suicide attempts, how the bootstrap theory alone didn't work for him, and how forgiveness is one of the keys to a happy life.   You do not want to miss this Part 1 to our two part series with Author, Ismael Brown.  

Consider yourself joining me on the couch for this one. I went on far to long with the intent to answer a few of my most repeated questions about how I discovered my purpose. In this episode I give you my definitions of finding your passion versus living in your purpose. Based on my past I mention how if your lucky one day, your passion and purpose will meet and create something phenomenal....probably the one thing you've prayed for. Through storytelling I invite you to ask yourself a few questions before you give up and consider how you feel about the impact you have on the world. And when you discover your true purpose, don't marry it just yet. If your feeling stuck about the next steps for finding that dream career or living that life of purpose that sets your soul on fire, this episode might be for you while on this road to discovery. 

This is the very first episode of "Mask Off Monday's: A women's attempt to unveil the masculine mask our men hide behind." Through reviews and conversations you all spoke and I listened. Several ladies mentioned feeling stuck in their existing relationships or the difficulty moving on from a breakup. So instead of creating a "man hating club" I decided we should ask our men. So once a month I will bring to you an interview with a man asking questions you all have submitted to squeeze out the truth about our men. The first step to re-building and repairing relationships is to listen and understand. The understanding part is difficult for us since we sometimes believe men and their beliefs are from another planet. My hope for you is these episodes allow you to take a second look at your significant other, yourself, or your relationship expectations.  

This episode of 15 min Friday is a quickie about something I have always struggled with, which is being "boundaryless." When to say yes, how to say no, and how to protect myself and my magic has been a long time struggle.  The good news is it's never too late to start, and what I have learned previously is boundaries are as important if not more than working out or locking your front door. Boundaries are the only way you can protect yourself and sometimes rebuild your confidence.  If you've recently caught yourself going days or weeks not doing anything you want to do, or not drawing the line between your personality and your friends or loved ones....this episode may help you start taking charge of your own life.     

In this episode, I am inviting you to join me for a very unique conversation with a great friend. Fair warning, this is not my normal podcast episode.  Last year, I built a strong relationship with GOD which was something I'd been longing for for a long long time. For the first 27 years of my life, I'd witnessed him work wonders in the lives of my friends and loved ones but yet I felt like I didn't know him at all. Through my good friend and guest today, Hilary Bolt, I learned the importance of having a spiritual relationship with him and how you should carry no burden alone. We discuss my journey to building a relationship with GOD in what I call the beginner phase and how we too often concern ourselves with how we are perceived from peer colored lenses. We both mention how your Faith will be tested when he's trying to remove you from living a life of fear and shame.  I know this episode will not be for everybody, but if your searching for more like I was or just looking for hope you will enjoy this episode. One thing I know for sure is FAITH is a requirement to get out of your stranded phase, and that is my only one goal for you.

We talk how being the local DJ in his hometown of Hartford, CT went from a hobby to a true career for him and how his mentors were essential to his current level of success. We discuss the crossroads moment most of us face when doing something we love, "Am I making enough money to do this forever? Or is this just a hobby and do I need a real job?"

This is the first of my "15 min Fridays" episode. This is an opportunity for me to do what I ask of my guests and share lessons learned or vulnerable moments during the month with the intent you are able to gain something from it.  This Episode addresses everyones questions about my TEDx talk experience most recently. I talk about how much fun it was, the amazing people I met, the discipline it required of me, and the fast track to public speaking I was immersed in because of this experience. I also use the rest of the episode to get deep about a brief mental breakdown I had on the evening of MY BIRTHDAY last week. Even in my current state where I feel like my life is amazing 98.9% of the time, a recent podcast episode pointed out to me that I wasn't identifying the answer to the following question: "How do you want to feel when you achieve a goal?" Not accomplished, not confident, not intelligent, but the core feelings I desire the moment I achieve something big. Revolutionary concept if you ask me and when goal setting this is something I will implement from here on out.

If there is one thing I know it's that almost everyone has suffered from dealing with a break up. Yet, for most the initial feeling feels as if there is no way to press play, move forward, or see the light of day again.  We usually endure long periods of time where we long for our ex's return, mourn the loss similar to dealing with grief, and then eventually spend lots of time blaming ourselves or the other person. This Episode is super personal for me because it's with my long time mentor, Jamie Baccari. The is the women who inspired me to push beyond my situation when I was just 18 yrs old and is still like my sister today. Her vulnerability on this episodes reveal's sides even I have never seen.
