In this episode: I had the privilege to sit down with Janelle Williams | Estate Planning Lawyer Janelle Williams, who is a graduate from Spelman College and Howard University of Law. She became a licensed attorney in Georgia in 2004. And after suffering one of the greatest losses of her life when her maternal grandmother passed away unexpectedly, the fallout of her passing without an estate plan left a permanent impression on Janelle. She says that the vast majority of African Americans don't have any legal documents laying out their final wishes for medical care, or their life savings. Her experience led her to focusing on finding solutions that could prevent other families from the anger and confusion that often surrounds the final days of a loved one. It's become her mission to educate her community about the legal ways to preserve their legacy, and to offer affordable flat fee services that are straightforward and clear. I had the privilege of getting to ask Janelle some of the burning questions that I had in my mind regarding this topic.

On this episode I had the honor of sitting down and speaking with Holly Vega, CEO and founder of Military Hearts Matter a Non-Profit Organization where she gets to advocate for a healthy heart. Every 1 out of every 3 women suffer from a heart condition. We must bring more awareness and advocate for healthy hearts. Military Hearts Matter History: Military Hearts Matter began when a military spouse, Holly Vega, realized there was an entire unknown and unsupported community of military personnel and their families that were dealing with heart-related issues. This community was first brought to Holly Vega’s attention in 2013 when Dr. Vivianne Wersel, an audiologist, shared how her husband, LtCol Richard “Rich” Wersel, Jr. USMC, died in 2005 from a heart attack while on active duty, only a week after returning home from serving in Iraq. Holly then shared Dr. Wersel’s story at a military spouse social event and was surprised as spouses began sharing their own military heart stories. It was then that Holly realized heart health issues were more widespread among the military and their families than she realized. With this realization, Holly began the Military Hearts Matter movement. First in 2013 as a series of social educational events aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, which continued at Marine Corps Base Quantico, and then in 2017 as an online Facebook community aimed to raise awareness and connect the military spouse heart community. She went one step further in 2017 by beginning an initiative with the Tampa Bay American Heart Association to bring awareness to the issue of military heart health. In 2019, Holly Vega and Kaprece James officially co-founded Military Hearts Matter as a non-profit. In addition to its advocacy and awareness campaigns, Military Hearts Matter now supports various programs to include scholarships, provides medical and wanted items that support military affiliated children with heart issues through (Heart of SuperNova Program), and sends heart blessings to those military families in need (Blessings from the Heart Program); all of which are named after military heart stories. Together with its board, volunteers, and ambassadors of military spouses and veterans, the organization is paving the way to fully supporting our military heart community.

In this solo episode, I share experiencing a shift that has required for me to go back to my fundamental process in this new season. And for me it was really revisiting my step up method. I had to go back to the basics things I know worked for me before to help me overcome some of things that are coming up for me in this new season. So today I ask you this question for your consideration, what fundamental routes do you need to revisit to get you back on track? The days of being busy and booked are no longer cute. Being healthy and sane is far more valuable to me. And therefore I share this as a reminder that even when you need to go back to the simple steps, it's ok to give yourself permission to do so. The beautiful part about revisiting those familiar steps is that although the journey may look slightly different, the process to get to where you are trying to go may still be the same. Don't overthink, don't second guess. May this 4Q be your best yet.

The main thing that I want to convey is don't be afraid to ask for the support that you need to get you through a Quantum Leap Seasons. We often think that we need be the strong friend, mom, spouse, partner, coach, but there will be seasons that some roles may take a hit. This is where you need to lean into and ask for the support that you need. And be ok with it. Don't tell yourself stories that will not serve the bigger purpose which is elevate to the next level of you. What support do you need to ask for during your quantum leap seasons?

In today's episode I had the honor of sitting with Pastor Courage Molina: Pastor Courage is a Faith Coach and everyone’s favorite Bible Teacher! She believes the foundation of becoming your most bold, confident, and courageous self is in the daily habit of studying and applying the word of God to your life! As we continue our step 1 in the STEP UP Method, Pastor Courage Molina and I had a great conversation on self-awareness. One of my favorite and biggest take-aways from today’s episode was when she said “You don’t need to audition for the specific purpose God has created for you” I hope this episode encourages you to ask yourself more questions. Don’t ever stop discovering and uncovering who you are. Remember that someone else’s lies do not need to become your belief. We have been conditioned since childhood to think a certain way, act a certain way, be a certain way. And that has truly diluted who we are truly supposed to be on this earth. Tell me what your biggest takeaway from today’s episode is. Make sure you check out Pastor Courage.

In today's episode, I talk about the first step in my STEP UP Method. If this is your first time here: This is what the Step Up Method stands for: Self-Awareness Therapy for the trauma Expand your mindset Personal development Upgrade Your Vision Pursue Purpose With Self-Awareness being the first step, I wanted to give you some insight into how I use self-awareness. The interesting thing about self-awareness is that we are often asking ourselves the wrong questions. Most of the time we want to know why. Why did that person hurt me? Why do they do what they do? Why does it hurt? But I like to use what I call my "What, why, and what rule" when I am doing some self-reflection & self-awareness. What occurred that made me feel uncomfortable, sad, upset, etc? Why does that matter? Why am I giving this importance? Why is it triggering me? and then I go back to the what. What am I making this mean for me? What happens if I stay stuck in this feeling, state of mind, or emotion? Internal Self-awareness and external self-awareness are so important because the more we understand both, it easier it is to cultivate great relationships, the better communication we can have with each other, and the more confident & creative we can be about ourselves. Let me know your thoughts and if this resonates with you.

Episode 2: Speakers Tell Their Stories Welcome to the Courageous Hustler Community. Thank you for tuning in and sharing a piece of your day with me. This week, on the Courageous Hustler Podcast, I’ll be sharing one of my biggest fears. I have been challenging myself more and more to do more public speaking. This year I took Command The Stage with Patrice Washington. If you are considering becoming a transformational speaker I highly recommend this program. And because of her and this program, I have been able to step into this new lane of not being so scared to tell my story. I use to carry so much shame around telling my story out of fear that people would judge me for it. And the truth is once I was able to understand that there is a way you can deliver your story in a manner that will serve people was the most freeing thing ever. I share my story now in hopes to help others. I share to give others permission to do the same for themselves. In this episode, I share my STEP UP Method S: Self-Awareness & Self-Discipline T: Therapy for the trauma E: Expand Your Mindset P: Personal Development U: Upgrade Your Vision P: Pursue Purpose with Unshakable Passion Links: Micayla Robinson: Amazing Podcast Producer: https://drum.io/micaylarobertson Patrice Washington: https://patricewashington.com/ Command The Stage: http://commandthestage.com/

Episode 1: My Courageous Hustler Moment My Courageous Hustler Moment Welcome to the Courageous Hustler Community. This is our official first episode. Thank you for tuning in and sharing a piece of your day with me. This week, on the Courageous Hustler Podcast, I’ll be sharing the story of that time I packed two bags full of corporate suits and bought a one-way ticket to Las Vegas. Moved 1300 miles away from everything I knew and everyone I knew with no plan, no job, barely any money, just a huge desire to want more and know that I desire more. We underestimate how courageous we really are at times. And sometimes it takes a perfect stranger to come and point it out to us for us to truly recognize it.
