The Childcare Crisis & Ways to Help with Gloria Riviera Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

Childcare is one of the most important things in a parent’s toolbox. Without it sanity is at risk. Unfortunately, in the United States there is an ongoing childcare crisis. No matter their socio-economic status, all parents in this country struggle to find the childcare that works best for them. This is so important to discuss, so I am sharing a conversation I had with journalist Gloria Riviera about this and her research. Gloria has spent 20+ years as an ABC News producer and correspondent based around the world covering breaking, investigative and feature stories for the network's flagship broadcasts and social media platforms -- including Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Nightline & the daily news podcast “Start Here.” We discussed what the crisis looks like today, how we got here and what we as citizens of this country can do to help.

To hear more about Gloria’s discoveries on the childcare crisis check out her podcast from Lemonada Media called NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. This poignant and timely four-part series shines a spotlight on America’s childcare crisis, sharing diverse stories of families, providers and childcare workers.

The Family Strategist, Charlotte Avery on Rediscovering Your Identity in Motherhood Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

As women, we wear a thousand different hats. When we become moms or wives or both, we can lose our sense of self when adding on the continuous needs of others. This is what happened to Charlotte Avery, entrepreneur, speaker and founder of The Family Strategist. By learning how to blend instead of balance her life through strategic planning, and implementing systems in her home, she was able to ensure she made time for herself, which helped her reconnect with who she was. Using her #PhDinMotherhood, Charlotte teaches women how to do the same. Charlotte is an expert on everything from potty training to keeping things alive in the bedroom. Her work is designed to help women learn how to love themselves, strengthen their families and live authentically. During our chat we discussed how to schedule time for ourselves, how validation from others can be crippling, supporting ourselves with flexibility and more!

I Had Another Miscarriage Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

I will keep this brief as the title speaks for itself. As you saw on Instagram, I was pregnant, but, last week, lost the baby. I found out Wednesday afternoon and was just shocked. That night, I recorded a very raw audio diary on my phone about how I was feeling. That is what you will listen to here. My heart is with every single woman who has gone through this pain. I hope by sharing my feelings and story, some of you will not feel alone. x

Using CBD as a Vessel for Transformation with Amanda Goetz, House of Wise Founder Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

I am a major advocate for CBD and the de-stigmatization of the use of cannabis. Especially for women. Cannabis is something that we shouldn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed for using. I was so excited to speak with Amanda Goetz, the founder & CEO of House of Wise, as she feels the same way. During our chat we talked about why she built her brand, the benefits of CBD, the power females should feel embracing their sexuality, making choices with intention, pressures women put on themselves in the professional world...AND MORE!!!

How to Build a Following & Adapt to Algorithms of Social Media with Brittany Xavier Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

One piece of advice I can give to any budding entrepreneurs is to not be afraid to consult and bounce ideas off of others in your industry. I believe we can learn so much from others who are in similar positions and have similar goals. We don't need to compete against one another, but support each other! I spoke with Brittany Xavier, who I’m sure had graced your social media feeds! Brittany is a former marketing executive turned Global Style Influencer. Her effortless style has made her a social media icon and creative director with a following of nearly 5 million. We talk about what goes into building her digital presence, why she decided to get on TikTok, what it’s like working with her husband and more!

I love her content so much. Her recent venture into TikTok has led to over 3.5 million engaged fans in an expanded demographic. Most recently, in an effort to do her part, Brittany has used her influence to raise awareness and funds for non-profit @getusppe in addition to producing thousands of PPE ear guards (with a 3D printer) for frontline healthcare workers with her husband and 14-year-old daughter Jadyn. She has managed to have the fast-paced life of a thriving entrepreneur, influencer, creative director, wife and mother juggling it all and giving back.

An Emotional Reflection on My Career + More Advice Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

Recording a podcast is hard. I knew it would be but it continues to be. I am so proud of myself for doing this and sticking with it like I do. In this episode, I find more things to cheer myself on about, however, it’s hard sometimes to do so. Do any of you feel that way? Find it difficult to be your biggest advocate. We are all works in progress. I find myself in an emotional reflection on my career journey including the trauma that came with closing my line Whitney Eve and fears of my job stability. After that, I walk you through a week in my work life PLUS share a little challenge with you to stay organized (I’m doing it too!). Thank you all for always supporting and sticking with me. xo
