213. Cyndi Ramirez-Fulton, Founder of Chillhouse Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

The constant hustle and sacrifice of being an entrepreneur wasn't a surprise to Cyndi when she started Chillhouse. Her mom was an entrepreneur herself in the spa industry and Cyndi saw first-hand what it took to run your own business. After spending most of her 20s in the hospitality industry, Cyndi hit burnout and she was faced with a major roadblock in her life of what to do next. In episode 213, we talk about what how she moved forward, which eventually evolved into starting the new-age spa that is known as Chillhouse today. Cyndi shares how the company has pivoted, evolved, and grown since its conception, and she also gets real on how she approaches her own self-care as a social figure, entrepreneur, and new mom.

211. Harper Watters, Soloist For The Houston Ballet Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

I loved the opportunity to sit down with Harper earlier this month. As a gay, African-American balletdancer, he’s really making waves. He says in today's episode that he’s really hoping to open doors for the next generation and inspire them to try whatever makes them excited. We talk about his upbringing, coming out to his parents at 14, and working hard to become a star within the world of ballet (and paving his way in the social media space). He also shares his journey, opens up about the fears and hurdles he’s faced along the way, and how that fear is good and helpful at times. In his opinion if you’re scared to face something head on — it’s not something to run from. Instead, remember that fear can be your teacher.

210. Nikki Hiltz, Professional Runner Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Today I’m talking with Nikki Hiltz, professional runner and recently named lululemon global ambassador! There’s so much to unpack with Nikki — their experience with ending a contract, which resulted in selling Track Club T-shirts, selecting their new sponsor and so much more. We dive into Nikki’s focus on having a sponsor that supports their next move - including the first ever in-person Pride 5K event.

We also talk through Nikki’s experience with coming out as gay in 2016 and transgender in 2021, including the different reactions that came with both experiences. I so appreciated Nikki’s openness and perspective, one that will help so many stepping into their truest selves and trust their gut during even the toughest #hurdlemoments
