"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite" -Nelson Mandela. This is a raw, unedited episode. I need to address the fact that we are living a critical moment in history right now. One that requires us to do more on a personal and collective level...CHANGE STARTS AT HOME. LOVE...

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing the AMAZING Noëlly Sam, a mompreneur living in Montreal, Canada. I met her over 10 years ago during Montreal Fashion Week and have seen her become one of the first influencers in Montreal even before the term became popular. She is now the founder/CEO of the women-focused consulting firm Unfolden Media and has a beautiful daughter. In this episode we discuss: -Life as a blogger in the early blogging days -How she was able to build a brand and become an "influencer" before the term became popular -How she found strategic ways to monetize her services in the fashion industry -The importance of relationships and lunches -Twitter and how she used it to grow her brand, notably through the hashtag #FashionUnfold -Why she shifted her business for it to be geared towards women -Challenges she's had to face throughout her career and also, as a new mom. Before Noëlly Sam became an entrepreneur, she had her share of obstacles to overcome. From surviving the civil war in Congo (Brazaville), immigrating to Canada, learning a new culture and language and embracing cold winters, which led to being unsure about what studies to pursue in University, to messing up her credit score, to going from jobs to jobs to find her path, Noëlly’s story is the perfect example of how anybody can overcome the obstacles in their life and find a way to achieve their goals through determination, faith and discipline. She is a Lifestyle entrepreneur, personal brand consultant and podcast host. A former high-performance corporate manager and top Canadian Fashion Blogger, she is the Founder of Unfolden Media, a women-focused platform on a mission to empower ambitious women and help them make an impact. She recently launched the Boss Women Unfold Podcast. She is the recipient of the Best Use of Twitter Award from the Montreal Fashion Bureau and the Notable Award for Best in Social Media (Quebec).

What do you do when you are having a difficult day or week? Do you unconsciously self-sabotage like me? I am the first to admit I do it more than I should. 🙃 😭 Whether we realize it or not, we often end up doing things that sabotage our lives, relationships, career and more. In this super quick solo episode, I talk about 3 ways to not self-sabotage. I have had a difficult week and these things have helped a lot and continue to help even when things are going better. This is a random, solo, quick and unplanned episode that can bring you a lot of value. 12 is my lucky number (I was born on 12/12 and my favorite Bible verse is Romans 12) this is the 12th episode and although I'm not that superstitious, it's still meaningful to me and it was important to do a solo episode. A few things I talk about: -The importance of positive talk and gratitude -Self care v.s. self indulgence and not feeling GUILTY -The acceptance of constructive criticism The Lewis Howes episode reference is called "Change Your Mind To Attract Love, Abundance and Wealth with Marisa Pier" and you can listen to it here.
