After fleeing a relationship, Brandi found herself in a women’s shelter with $15 and a laptop to her name. With that laptop, she would learn how to photoshop and create a dream beauty brand, and sell its products before they even existed. What happened next is nothing short of tenacious and inspiring. That non-existent beauty brand dream just 5 years later became a $15 Million Dollar evaluated beauty company, Evio Beauty. Hiring fellow women from the shelter and creating change as she goes, we learn about running a business as a movement is something that will leave everyone inspired and hope-filled.

Instagram vs reality images: helpful, harmful, fatphobic, privileged? There’s so much to uncover in the rise of these viral images, and holding space and respect for everyone’s valid experiences and feelings around them. Danielle Catton aka @DanielleIsAnxious stands out as someone willing to create representation in a larger body, with those viral images made by those by those in a thinner one (myself included).

There’s a lot of curiosity when it comes to how we do what we do. From the day to day stuff, taking the plunge from a side gig to a main one, and finding your individual value on social media when NOBODY talks about it. Today, Team Papaya is on the show to share about their roles in The Birds Papaya Inc. Sam, my talent manager, and Haley, my operations manager, come to share their experiences of being a part of such an unconventional job. How it’s been getting taken seriously in an industry that still lacks credibility in the eyes of the world, real advice on what to do if you’re interested in starting, surprise parts of the gig too. That and more, because I wouldn’t be a good leader if I didn’t get some constructive criticism and dream up some lofty dreams of what’s next for us.
If you’re curious or wondering about the world of content creating, and social media. This is the show for you!

After mentioning to my IG stories that Shane was coming back on the pod and he wanted to do an episode on Spaghetti vs Macaroni, I shot it down and asked my audience to ask him some questions. It was an overwhelming ask for this to be the episode. SO, here we are. Spaghetti vs Macaroni.
But, that’s not all.
We also discuss his time as a new dad to a baby, postpartum sex, and watching your partner’s body change throughout the years and what his perspective (honestly) is about it all. This conversation is both refreshing, hilarious and hopefully a bit healing too. It certainly was for me.
Shane isn’t really on social media so don’t bother following him, he has like 9 posts and they’re all a joke. But, you can see him lurking in the background of everything I do, @TheBirdsPapaya xoxo

Today we welcome one of my best friends onto the podcast, Ariana! After discovering we were both pregnant and due within months of each other, we had plans, BIG plans, for how this would look and be for each of us. A pandemic... had other plans. For Ariana, this was her first birth, and a birth of twins, who came premature when she went into labour on her birthday. The rollercoaster of emotions, and the reality that was a twin birth, a month in NICU and so much more was something I wanted to sit down and talk with her about, unpack, and share in the moments of it all. I’m so happy she came on and opened up her story to us today.
Ariana is newly documenting her story as a twin mom on social media as well, on IG @Ariana_Joy_Christie

In 2009, at age 20, the unthinkable happened to Brittany Piper when she was attacked by a stranger who was helping her fix her tire. After her assailant was charged and sentenced, Brittany found herself in jail, and there began her work on healing through trauma and contributions towards ending sexual violence. Between how we talk to our kids, how musical lyrics and language around sex are lending themselves to sexual violence, and so much more… This conversation is eye opening, and necessary. Whether you are the 1 in 4 who will experience sexual violence and working towards healing, or the 3 in 4 who are here to be their supports, we learn about sympathy vs empathy and how to be an active ally. Brittany Piper is now an international activist, speaker and healing coach—cultivating 300+ programs spanning 10 years and 3 continents. Her work has been recognized by The U.S. Army, The Clinton Foundation, Cosmopolitan, Elite Daily + more.

Amin Jaswal was in her 20’s when she began to realize something was off and was dismissed by doctors repeatedly. Until one day, in pain and frustration, she took herself to the ER, only to find out she had cancer. Cervical cancer to be exact. This cancer was not detectable by a pap smear and without her own self-advocacy, she may not be here. Passionate to share her story, normalize discussions around discharge, and discomforts, Amin joins us today to share what life looks like when you’re young, single, and have cancer. There is love, romance, and loss in life… and Amin took time to write down her emotions into poetry. Now, a book, A Light Within My Light (preorder April 12 2021). Amin inspires the survivor in all of us, to live life, create boundaries, and fight for yourself.
You can find Amin on IG @AminJaswal and pre-order her book, A Light Within My Light at www.aminjaswal.com
