The MetaBusiness Millennial

There's a version of you that you buried to survive. Maybe it was your accent, your laugh, your curly hair, the neighborhood you stopped mentioning, the way you talked at home versus the way you talked at work. And it worked. You got the degree, the title, the business, the rooms. But somewhere along the way you started to feel like a stranger in your own success.   This Scorpio season, we're...

You don't owe anyone your whole story to be telling the truth. Private is not the same as hidden, and knowing the difference changes how you heal, how you show up, and how you protect your peace.   It's Scorpio season, my season, and I'm getting honest about the two times I disappeared from social media. In 2018, I was grieving, pregnant, unmarried and shutting down my first beauty brand, and...

You slept in. You took the vacation. You still came back tired. That's because burnout was never really about rest. It's about losing yourself.   Eight years ago in Detroit, I looked like I was winning. I was launching my first beauty company, DāO Detroit, winning pitch competitions at Essence Festival, standing on a Super Bowl stage and selling out at hair shows. Inside, I was grieving my fa...

Financial freedom changes your bank account. True freedom changes who you answer to.   For a long time I was told that metaphysics belongs behind closed doors. Fine for your private life, but no place in business. I am building my entire business on it anyway. In this solo episode, recorded in the middle of a rare Venus retrograde, I am talking about what that freedom actually costs. Not ten...

What if confidence isn't something you collect, but something you embody?   You can have the degrees, the title, and the years of proof, and still feel your heart pound and hear that voice asking who do you think you are. My guest Dr. Aleksandra Plazinic has a PhD, two master's degrees, and has taught at business schools across Europe and worked with the United Nations and the European Commis...

Lisa Jauregui built BK Beauty out of her living room in 2019 with thirty thousand dollars and a YouTube community that trusted her. Seven years later she has sold over a million orders, landed on the Inc 5000 four years in a row, and made a concealer brush TikTok could not stop buying. All of it self funded. No investors, no board, nobody to answer to.   But the part of this conversation I ke...

Being liked and being truly seen are not the same thing. In this solo cast I talk about what to do when people ghost you, when silence becomes the answer, and how to stand in your truth when the people you trusted turn on you.   This season handed me two truths in a single week. One about a man who went silent, and one about betrayal from people I had trusted with my mother’s care. Both were...

This is my first solo cast in a little over six months. The last time it was just me and you in the confessional room, I told you I was leaving. Off the wine, off social media, all the way back into the dark on purpose. This is me re-emerging. Not the same woman who left. An embodied one.   The past six months brought some of the hardest and most humbling challenges of my life, and inside all...

You built what most people only dream of — the title, the track record, the room where the real decisions get made. And still, some quiet hour, you wonder when it finally gets to feel like enough.   My guest this week, Celinne Da Costa, knows that feeling intimately. She left the life she was “supposed” to want, spent nine months couch-surfing the world, and came back with a USA TODAY bestsel...

What if the struggle you're gripping so hard right now was never yours to force — only to move through, awake?    In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with Marvin Wilkerson — master evolutionary astrologer, certified hypnotherapist, and author of Soul Fusion Healing: Integrating Mind, Body, and Soul — who has spent 75 years learning, teaching, and embodying one radi...

What if every result in your business the revenue, the rooms, the yeses and the nos is just your self-image made visible?   In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with Mariko Fujimura — mindset and self-image coach, founder of the Kiseki Institute, and TEDx speaker — for a conversation about the story running underneath your success. Mariko spent years as a pastry chef and...

Forty-four minutes into this conversation, Romi Marie looked down at the timer on her phone and read the number out loud. 4401 — the number that has followed the two of them for twenty-three years. Seconds later, James Haven said the words he had never said out loud in his life. James Haven is a writer, a director, the son of Jon Voight and the brother of Angelina Jolie. Romi Marie is an author, a...

What if the chase to become a better version of yourself is the very thing draining you?   In this episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I sit down with author, executive, and Corluma founder Barbara Burgess — whose first book, Enough: Finding Peace in a World of Distractions, Hustle, and Expectations , names the ache so many high-achieving women carry. We unpack the seduction of self-impro...

Why does a $5,000 Gucci bag and a $500 bag hold your stuff the same way — but one feels like an extension of your identity and the other doesn't? That's brand love. And in this full-circle episode of The MetaBusiness Millennial, I'm sitting down with the woman who literally wrote the international bestselling book on it — Lydia Michael — who also happened to be the marketing strategist behind my v...

She married her best friend of 23 years. She married him in front of one of the most famous fathers in Hollywood. And she filed for annulment fifteen days later.   In this raw, faith-forward conversation with her sister and bestie Erin Patten, Romi Marie sits in the seat of her own truth — for the first time, in long form, in her own voice — about marrying James Haven (Angelina Jolie's older...

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the season I've been quietly walking through. I haven't been on a date in months. I've stopped drinking. I deleted Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook from my phone. I'm not going out on weekends. And my life, my business, and my alignment have never been more dialed in.   I'm calling it The Great Subtraction. And I am very much not the only wom...

Tune in as I get real about what it feels like when every planet in the solar system is moving forward and your life still feels like it's buffering. This is a solo episode. No guest. Just me, my truth, and a download I couldn't keep to myself. I'm in limbo right now. The custody situation with my son is unresolved. My beauty brand Ra Beauty just launched and we're still figuring out direction. Bu...

Tune in as my guest, Ksenia Merck, and I sit down to talk about what happens when the love of your life leaves behind an unfinished story. Not a metaphor. A real science fiction novel sitting in a drawer. And you decide to pick up the pen and finish it. An architect with over four decades in construction, a woman who grew up on job sites with her World War II paratrooper father, built her own cons...

Tune in as my guest, Laura Gisborne, and I sit down to talk about what happens when you stop spinning and start building a business that is both wildly profitable and deeply purposeful. Raised in poverty by a teenage mother, a survivor of childhood abuse and domestic violence, and a woman who went on to build nine companies and raise over $600,000 for charities around the world. This conversation...

Tune in as my guest, Georgia Thomas, and I sit down to talk about what happens when you stop doing everything and start becoming the leader your business actually needs. A former corporate lawyer, a devoted mum, and a woman who built an eight-figure portfolio with her husband while designing a business that runs without her. All in about a year. This conversation is not about grinding longer, it's...

Tune in as my good friend, Ashley Sutton, and I sit down to talk about a story that started with loss and ended somewhere far more transformative than either of us expected. Two fathers gone, two women who left home to build something and one conversation about what happens when life calls you back. This conversation is not about pretending the pain didn't happen, it's about telling the truth abou...

In this episode, I’m breaking down a rare cosmic moment that only happens every 60 years and why it matters more than most people realize. The Ring of Fire solar eclipse, the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Fire Horse. Individually, they’re powerful. Together, they create an energetic reset that invites you to stop shrinking and start initiating the next version of your life. This conversation...

In this episode, Sara Joyner and I sit down to talk about a story that started with betrayal and ended somewhere far more complicated than most people expect. I was scammed out of thousands of dollars. Sara played a role in that situation. And later, she was also the person who warned me. This conversation is not about pretending harm didn’t happen. It’s about telling the truth about what did — fu...

In this episode, I talk about power in a way that most of us were never taught. Not power as winning, not power as proving a point, but power as movement and as growth. As becoming someone a fight can’t even reach. I share why reacting, defending yourself, and constantly engaging keeps you stuck in the same cycles with the same people. Why it feels exhausting and why it never actually solves anyth...

In this conversation, I talk about what it really takes to build something without losing yourself in the process. We talk about the first beauty brand I built that ended prematurely. What that experience taught me about rushing, forcing, and tying my worth to outcomes. And how Ra Beauty came together slowly, over the years, even though it looked fast from the outside. This isn’t a conversation ab...
