Ep. 041 - Two Black Guys (& a Gal) with Good Credit (w. Shaun Lynda, Dionne Nicholls, Arlington Forbes)

By

I must say that this episode should definitely be filed under the <Long Overdue> category.

About two years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Ms Dionne Nicholls. From our conversation and my genuine respect for her warm personality and infectious motivation, I realized there was something special going on there. Indeed, the more we talked and eventually connected, I ended up writing a blog post/review of her podcast "Two Black Guys With Good Credit" which she co-hosts  with the dynamic duo that are Shaun Lynda & Arlington Forbes.

Having been on the lesser end of financial freedom myself and slowly but surely building my way back up the hill, I can't tell what a imperative asset it is to sharpen your mind, habits and mindset towards a goal-oriented, practical and strategic financial journey. This is a special group of people who, through their podcast and Financially CLEAN! (a non-profit youth mentoring program), have made it their mission to reach out, educate and elevate as many people as they can through workshops, lectures and yes, podcasts!

A gem of a wild exchange. I had so much fun with this interview and it's no surprise why when you're blessed to have such a delightful ensemble of guests.

Ep. 181 - Live Your Best Life For You (w. Dionne Nicholls)

A third appearance on the show is certainly something to acknowledge and celebrate. When certain guests have been such a profound source of support and collaboration, you let them know.  It's a true honour to welcome back today's guest on the program.  Dionne Nicholls is a professional coach trained through Accomplishment Coaching. From being estranged from her father for years as he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, to giving birth to a son with a rare heart condition, to feeling stuck in a 20-year career and having her 17-year relationship end in betrayal, Dionne knows very well that she does not look like what she's been through. And, that's the point. After an extensive journey of self-reflection and seeking the meaning of why she was put on this planet starting in 2014, she came to the realization that the gift she had to bring to the party of life was JOY. Following a successful 20-year career in the fashion industry, co-founding

Ep. 178 - Embrace both The Light & The Dark (w. Clara Luce Lafond)

One of the things I really feel a lot of us are really struggling with these past few years is the fact that we do not take the necessary time to really - and I mean REALLY - get to know and appreciate ourselves. ‘Self-Love’ has really become a buzzword as of late and in the grand scheme of things, as is often the case, I realize that a lot of people simply toss it around cause it sounds nice. That’s unfortunate. If people truly realized how much power lies in harnessing the beauties as well as imperfections that make up the sum of their wonderful being, they would probably spend a bit more time catering to that.  I say this wholeheartedly because I am witnessing a lot of people I care about sluggishly dragging their feet in the sand when it comes to their journey simply because they’re being admittedly weighed down by other people’s opinions of them. I call Foul. Fortunately, today’s guest is a person whom I’ve long admired for her deep-rooted sense of self-worth,

When you come out the other end of yet another powerful and thought-provoking exchange - all you do is take a second, breathe it in and realize that certain opportunities, connections, conversations and people are truly a blessing. My guest, Tanguy Exume, was nothing short of an amazing spirit to have on the program. With a genuine philosophy of kindness, resilience, patience and mindfulness, there was no time for questions - only for listening. And sometimes, too often actually, we lose sight of how important this simple act can be. Wearing a variety of hats ranging from - and I'm not making these up - dedicated  Crossfit Athlete ,  to  Poet , to  published author , to  Teacher , to  Salsa Insctructor , to most notably and closest to my heart, loving husband and father...Tanguy is a singular expression of eclectic Awesomeness.
