Ep. 092 - Love Is The Prescription (w. Solara)

Image
There are a myriad of reasons why one choses to venture towards his or her dream. Throughout these conversations, I've had the opportunity to take notes and realize that, despite their various backgrounds, individual journeys, respective challenges and personal struggles...a common and undeniable keystone to their relentless pursuit boils down to a very simple word : Love. Love - simply and unapologetically put - is the guiding compass that has consistently kept my next guest on her path and allowed her to keep growing as a talented singer and songwriter. With a bubbly personality and warm energy that you just can't help but get a kick out of, Solara and I had the opportunity to share a great conversation, as we often do on this program, where she gave us a gracious tour of Life from her vantage point. From her coffee addiction, to her family roots, to her incredible love for Haitian culture, to her commitment

Image
You've heard a lot about that ever-so decisive moment where your desires, ambitions, curiosity and fear of the unknown all come down to a very simple but nonetheless frightening moment. In the catalog of words that could be used to refer to this make-it or break-it instance in one's journey, my guest actually chose to boil it down to its simplicity : she calls it The Leap. As a seasoned radio announcer , podcaster , audio production queen and cake lover, Tiffany Rouge , who'd much rather go by Tiff, was a real treat to have on the podcast to talk about this very impactful topic. In this gray area called Life, Tiff aims to add a little bit of color which she does so delightfully whether on the air or on her amazing Miss Adventurous podcast where she publishes conversations that will make you see the world in a different, profound perspective. In this conversation, we get a front row seat as Tiff shares h
