    In the third part of the 'A Different Perspective' series, host Rosanna Gill shares insight she gained from the series and shares her own experience with white supremacy.

    A Different Perspective: Part 1
    Sep 29 2021

    "It cannot inherently be true that I am less than because of my appearance." -Lori Harris

    In the first part of the 'A Different Perspective' series, host Rosanna Gill is joined by Lori Harris and Catharine Montgomery to discuss a listener's question as to why a man of color might put down other men of color and what it feels like and means to be told they (Lori and Catharine) are not like 'other blacks' and what that really means.

  • How to Cure the Disease to Please with Stephanie Mahoney

    How to Cure the Disease to Please with Stephanie Mahoney
    Sep 23 2021
    “Why not me?” asks stay-at-home mother Stephanie Mahoney when evaluating her hesitancy to achieve her goals. After years of believing that being a mom and lacking a degree would prevent her from finding professional success, Stephanie decided to travel outside her comfort zone. After experiencing a difficult postpartum during the pandemic, Stephanie had a change of perspective and began allowing positive affirmations into her life. Stephanie is now a passionate brand ambassador for Monat, a naturally-based skincare and shampoo line. Although she sometimes feels judged for her position in multi-level marketing, Stephanie now understands that she “can’t please everyone” and continues to make a difference in people’s lives.Tune into this week’s episode of Breaking Labels for a conversation on shifting your mindset and speaking your dreams into existence. Through Stephanie’s determination to build a financially freeing career, learn how anything is possible with consistent action and a positive frame of mind.Quotes• “I had to find myself where I was going to go down a very dark hole of postpartum, mother of three, trying to figure that out and I couldn't take the kids anywhere. I couldn't see my family. I couldn't see friends. And to be honest with you, when you get backed into a corner like that, it's either Option A: go down the spiraling rabbit hole, or Option B: get uncomfortable.” (16:41-17:10)• “You're 40% more likely to achieve a goal when you write it down and you speak it into existence. That's why people say speak it out loud, tell people about it. Because your brain is going to start hearing that and now it's going to start finding things to help prove that correctly.” (44:40-44:57)• “Why not me? Why am I limiting myself because I'm a mom, because I didn't get a degree, because I didn't finish? I've never finished anything in my life. Because I've been in relationship to relationship from kid to kid to kid. Like, dang it. I'm going to see something through and if that means scraping myself out of the soil for seven years like a bamboo tree, then gosh darn it. If that's what it takes, and that's what God has for me, then I'm going to continue to do it.” (49:25-50:00)• “My biggest fear was not pleasing people and doing my own thing and not worrying about what other people think. The minute I just changed that mindset and said, ‘You know, I'm gonna put myself out there.’ If I lose followers, that's fine. That means I'm niching down to people who do want to follow me. If you don't want to see what I have to say, that's okay. I can't please everyone, I can't speak to everyone. I can speak to my niche and my people that I can relate with and basically be friends with because that's what this is about.” (1:08:32-1:09:05)• “There's nothing wrong with making money as long as you're trying to serve people. You're trying to send a positive message. I don't think that there is anything wrong with that.” (1:13:16-1:13:32)• “If you're in multilevel marketing or wanting to be a part of multi level marketing, then I would just say choose wisely. Don't just go to your friend who's like, ‘Oh, sign up with me because I love it.’ Find someone who's serious. Find someone who has your best interests at heart.” (1:28:17-1:28:33)LinksConnect with Stephanie Mahoney: https://www.instagram.com/stephlmahoney/* To donate to the production and advertising costs for A Different Perspective, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/differentperspective* To donate to the production and advertising costs for Her Time, check out this page on Go Fund Her: https://gofundher.com/hertimeConnect with host Rosanna Gill and Breaking Labels:• https://www.instagram.com/breakinglabelspodcast/• https://breakinglabelspodcast.com/• https://www.instagram.com/rosanna.e.gill/Have a scenario where you asked or said something that offended someone, but you don't know why?
