How often do we get things misconstrued in text and online messages? As Zig Ziglar says, “In many ways, effective communication begins with mutual respect, communication that inspires and encourages others to do their best.” Inasmuch as the internet has made things very accessible for everyone, it has made communication a bit more difficult because so much of how we communicate is through online a...

Content creation is a relatively new industry and the rise of the influence space has dramatically changed the photography space and how brands interact with creatives. Many brands are not paying creators the rate that they deserve, not just because they don’t value themselves enough, but because there’s a lack of education when it comes to content creation as a business. In today’s episode, comme...

As women, what we offer is so unique, but we have been wired to be otherwise. We have been wired to only do what we’re supposed to be doing, and we forget we’re here in this world to become who we’re created to be. Many of us have not been taught how to dream, value self-worth, and truly live. But it’s never too late. Today, let’s begin the journey of training ourselves to be the person we’re mean...

Today’s guest, Andrea Gebhardt, is proof that no matter how extensive your educational background is, you’ve...

Have you found that thing you’re going to do for the rest of your life? Finding your life purpose requires awareness and the willingness to recognize when it is time to make a shift – even when you're in a good place. The problem, however, is that we all have limiting beliefs that keep us from living our true purpose. A lot of this has to do with fear. But what if you could find a way to asso...

Team members may have feedback but no idea what to do with...

We’ve all known the saying, “Fake it ‘til you make it,” but should we really be faking anything? I I say “no,” I’m not here for that.

It’s high time we rethink our mantras because the things we tell ourselves dictate our reality. I assure you that you won’t have to fake anything after...

But the CBD oils I've tried before have either done absolutely nothing for me, or they got me high at inappropriate times. Finally, when I got hold of Match Canna’s oil and used it for my anxiety attack, I couldn’t tell you how much relief I got from it (minus the highs!) tha...
