Ep. 163 - Onward (Year-End Special)(w. guest host: Erika Darbouze)

By

Welcome back Awesome Tribe!

I'm actually incredibly excited to share today's episode with you all.

It sounds foolish but the humility and focus that goes into each of these episodes sometimes pulls me away from the obvious - when you do good and send kindness into The Universe, people do notice and incredible things tend to happen.

This 'A.T.A' adventure started from nothing - yet, here we are. Still here. Still connecting with incredible guests, having deeper and more meaningful conversations, bringing you the knowledge and insights that I believe will best serve you...and of course being grateful for your amazing support along the way.

As we near the end of 2021 and use this year-end tradition to reflect on the year that's been, you guys know it's never easy to decide who I'm going to willingly choose to hand over the 'keys to the Castle' to as I subject myself to the 'Hot Seat'.

Fortunately, trust is something Erika Darbouze and I certainly agree on.

I've had a tremendous respect for Erika's work as the dedicated CEO & Founder of Haiti's Corner. Her expertise as a Digital Marketing Strategist has certainly been essential in her mission to introduce the Haitian culture to the world by providing export marketing services to Haitian manufacturers. This with the hopes to eventually place Haitian brands in stores around the world. With such a powerful mission on her plate, it's safe to say that Erika knows how to take on a challenge.

When a random follow on Instagram gives birth to such a genuine and heartfelt friendship, I was thrilled when she didn't flinch and graciously accepted to take the reins as the guest-Host.

From avid listener and loyal supporter, to having been a guest herself, Erika admittedly humbled me on this one. And I do not say this lightly. As you'll soon get to hear, through laughter, heart and some incredible attention to detail, she skillfully provided the necessary space for me to dive into the uncomfortable past, acknowledge the powerful present and rejoice for the upcoming future.

You can connect with Erika via Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin as well the Haiti's Corner official website.

A real gem of an episode - which I do hope you'll enjoy.

Ep. 106 - Just Getting Started (Year-End Special) (w. Olivier Day ft. guest host: Brad Bodnarchuk)

© Vivardy Boursiquot (https://www.vivardyboursiquot.com/) - All Rights Reserved As we near the end of the year, with the Holiday Season in full swing, it only felt appropriate to close out this incredible and energizing year with a bit of reflection and necessary gratitude. Thing is, and I've admitted this on and off this podcast, I'm somewhat of a workaholic. Whether that's a gift or a curse depends on your perspective. But, as I took a step back and intentionally realized how far this podcast has come in such a short time, it certainly makes the hard work, sacrifices and commitment feel noteworthy. You spend so much time with your head down, focused and undeterred, you often neglect to fully appreciate all that you've achieved. For this Year-End episode, the last of 2019, I wanted to changes things up a bit, in the spirit of trying something new. Following a few encouraging messages ...

Ep. 035 - Self Care (w. Emmy Georges)

"Take a chance. Why not?" - that was basically the one and only passing thought that drove me towards reaching out and connecting with my next guest on this new and engaging episode. Emmanuelle Georges -or Emmy, for short- is a speaker, blogger, and founder of the Love Your Body Movement in Haiti. A truly heartwarming and powerful endeavour aimed at the empowerment of women on their individual journey towards self-confidence and self-love. Why I wanted to have Emmy as a guest can be summed up by the following post, which I came across on Instagram, and for a reason I still cannot fully explain - it clicked with me. It really did. A post shared by LOVE-YOUR-BODY (@loveyourbodyht) on Apr 27, 2018 at 8:12am PDT After several views, I had to have her on the program. If only to thank her for her vulnerability and courage to speak out on the need for us to recognise these moments where we are not at our 100%. Through workshops, meetups, conversat...

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...
