Show notes

Hello wonderful podcast listeners! I'm so happy to be back and creating content on a regular basis for all of you. I felt like this mini snippet was necessary as I feel a close connection with all my listeners.

New schedule for podcasts:

Week One:

Work in Progress sit down interviews + videos drop on Monday morning! I will be interviewing the most interesting people in fashion, business, tech, production, and more!

Week Two:

Real Talk livestream interviews on Instagram live featuring a new guest every other week on Tuesday at 8:30 PM PST or 11:30 EST. You can hop in to ask questions and interact with the guest and myself. Episodes uploaded in podcast format on Fridays.

I'll also occasionally do solo podcasts but those won't be as structured and will be uploaded on a free-form schedule.

Can't wait to share this season's guests with everyone!

#75 Morning Essentials with Host Tiffany Parra Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

Hi everyone! Thank you for joining me for #74 of the Work in Progress podcast. I decided to go solo this episode and highlight some essential parts to my morning routine.

Here they are:

Free Writes: these free writes are basically a mind dump where you write down any thoughts for 10 or 15 minute. I've found that they've helped me identify to-dos I forgot about, allow me to write down my thoughts and emotions, and overall allow me to start my day with a clear head.

5 Things I am Grateful For: this practice of gratitude has helped me train my mind to see the good in situations. There's always something to be grateful for. Sometimes the times where you're struggling are actually the best because that means you're learning to overcome new hurdles.

Affirmations: this is one that I never thought I'd personally do but if you listen to stories of people who write down their affirmations/ life accomplishments it's pretty wild. I write down these mission statements as if they've already happen because they have, time just hasn't caught up yet. For example. if you dream of being a tech entrepreneur your affirmation is... "I am the CEO of a successful app that is in the top 10 on the App Store."

Working Out: I didn't mention it on the podcast but working out in the mornings is a serious game changer and is the single most vital part of my morning. Cardio exercise like running really helps reduce my anxiety and makes me feel like I can tackle any problem headed my way.

At the end of the day, these are things that work for me but it's still a process! Accept that you will have failures and you will have wins, but you are on a journey to improve yourself and change is not an overnight process.

#74 EPISODE REPOST: Discovering Your Unfinished Legacy with Photographer + Skater + Entrepreneur Brema Brema Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Had to repost one of my favorite interviews from 2018. Brema has an incredible story and an outlook on life that I think many of us could learn from (myself included.) I've been really busy with building my new business, Scrunchies.co so the Real Talk series is on a bit of a pause.

Brema Brema is one of the founding members of the Urban Misfit Ventures and an overall badass creative.

Brema grew up in a refugee camp in Sudan and with the help of the United Nations he and his family were able to move to the United States.

Initially, he didn't fit in and was bullied at school.

But rather than use that negative energy in a harmful way, Brema invested his focus into art.

From negative -> positive.

Talking with Brema you can tell he's a humble guy but one look at his Instagram page @optic.legacy (currently at 58,000 followers) and you can see how talented he is in his work.

Throughout the years, Brema has built up a portfolio of creative passions from skating -> graffiti -> clothing -> photography. Regardless his work is visually aesthetic and uniquely him.

He is currently a creative director at the Urban Misfit Ventures and founder of his own clothing line @unfinishedlegacy. At only 20 years old, Brema was named one of Wisconsin's 25 Under 25 Rising Entrepreneurs.
