I was lucky to have two guests this week! Jay and CiCi. These women are 2 Black queens who aim to enlighten and encourage society on what life is like for Black Women. They leave no topic untouched and get straight to the point. All while being with the shits!

Takeaways from our conversation:

• You are worthy of friends
• Friendships ebb and flow throughout different seasons in our lives, and that's OK
• It's OK to ask for help from a friend- we weren't made to "do life" alone

As busy women, it's easy to let friendships go by the wayside when we're entrenched in the day-to-day activities when working, involved in mom life, or physically distant from friends. However, true friends are those that you can call in the middle of the night, are there to listen to you vent, or offer advice. We all deserve deep and meaningful friendships that add value to our lives and help us feel connected, understood, and seen.

My guest this week is Charminta (Char) Brown. She is a Career and Lead Interview Coach for the career advancement company, BrandResumes. Charminta has a true passion for career advancement because she can EMPOWER PEOPLE, especially people in entry to mid-level positions to understand their worth and strengths, or what she likes to call their SUPERPOWERS, to excel in their professional careers.

Charminta enjoys learning about new careers, professions, skills, and techniques to help people realize that there are so many opportunities in life and they never have to limit themselves.

People must understand and learn how to convey their current and past experiences to prepare for future opportunities.

Quick tips from Char:

• Stay organized- Utilize Google Drive to keep track of each job and interview and your current skills, as well as thank you notes.
• Be strategic- Make connections and build relationships with others in the field of your interest, and take advantage of company-wide meetings to meet new people.
• Know your worth- You CAN do this! Practice your interview skills, ask for help and let your personality shine!

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Nava Simkah. Nava is the Founder of LovingMyTemple.com. She is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist + Health Coach and Maternity Health Coach who is committed to helping women strengthen the success of their health journey through self-reflection, faith-based study, and nutritional growth.

She specializes in holistic weight management, healing from emotional eating, and building stronger, healthier mommas.

We talked about all things food, from emotional eating to family health history to how to encourage and involve our children to develop healthy food habits.

This is definitely an episode where you want to take notes or listen to it again because Nava drops so much knowledge!

3 takeaways for health:

• We’re valuable
• Our bodies deserve nourishing foods
• We have less health complications when we fuel our body in the right way
