I had no idea that women were making such big moves in the conservation space, but Gabriella Hoffman is one of them who is paving the way! She's an avid fisher (wo)man, likes hunting and dedicates her time to efforts that empower both men and women in the conservation field. In fact, she has a whole podcast and YouTube series about it! At the same time, Gabby runs her own marketing and consulting business -- and her entrepreneurial spirit is incredibly inspiring and contagious! Though Gabby and I met through our political connections in DC, I've become so interested in her hobbies, which she's turned into ventures of their own. In this interview, we talk about being a woman in these male-dominated spaces, what's its actually like to … [Read more...]
Shannon Bream on Finding the Bright Side of Life
I've been watching and listening to Shannon Bream on Fox News for years, so when I got the chance to hear her speak and meet her last summer, I was thrilled! Her career story was so inspiring -- and then I found out she was writing a book! That book, her first and only (as she will tell you!), is released today! I was lucky enough to interview Shannon for the podcast and since the book release just so happens to fall on a Tuesday, we got very lucky. In our interview, Shannon reveals: "I got fired from my first TV job..he said, 'I don't know why anyone ever put you on TV or thought that was a good idea.

Changing the World One Conversation at a Time: Annafi Wahed’s Bold Vision
Annafi Wahed left a lucrative job in finance to join the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign. She was unfulfilled by her career and wanted to do something to make a difference. Like many people, helping out with a monumental Presidential campaign seemed like a good way to do that immediately. She was blindsided on Election Day 2016 when Donald Trump won the election -- and admits, she shed more than a few tears in the days that followed. Annafi says: "Even if you can't change the world today, if you change your world -- your small sphere of influence today -- that could someday change the world." But she soon dried her tears and start having conversations with those she didn't agree with. She didn't like the vitriol coming from her … [Read more...]
Find Joy Where You Are with Rochelle Asberry
Sometimes, the universe drops someone into your life -- and that's how it was with Rochelle Asberry! I was fortunate enough to meet her after I spoke at Linking Indy Women a few months ago. We met for breakfast and had so much to talk about -- and so much in common! In today's episode, Rochelle and I talk about her journey to finding success as a health and wellness coach -- including a successful massage therapy practice. Rochelle also talks about what it means to truly embrace the present and find joy in all that you do. She loves the concept so much, she wrote a whole book about it! I especially loved the inspiration she found to start a non-profit called Kind Hands Foundation, which provides health and hygiene products for … [Read more...]
