Join Desiree & Benita, two former educators, discussing how they gained the courage to leave the classroom and begin creating the life they desire! In this week's episode, the dynamic duo discuss the rejection received in their own lives and how they repurposed those no's as pathways to something better.

In the Pioneering Women segment, Issa Rae is highlighted as a resilient, creative, and inspiring actress, writer, and producer that did not let rejection stop her from becoming who she is today. Instead, she tapped into her network and creatively found ways to overcome her obstacles.

As they move into the episode topic, Desiree & Benita talk about how they've overcome no's in their professional, dating, and personal lives. We even get a quick word from the two as they get deep into their Chanel pastoral bags and give the people a sermon full of laughs and truths...and a bit of shade!

The episode closes out with a few tools and resources such as two books: The Obstacle is The Way by Ryan Holiday & Rejection Proof by Jia Jiang.

Join Desiree & Benita, two former educators, discussing how they gained the courage to leave the classroom and begin creating the life they desire! In this week's episode, the dynamic duo talk about those negative inner voices that constantly criticize us and as a result, stop us from reaching our full potential.

In the Pioneering Women segment, Brené Brown is highlighted as a psychologist, author, and professor whose work surrounds courage, vulnerability, shame, and comfort.

As they move into the episode topic, Desiree & "Juicy Box" (IYKYK lol) talk about where the inner critic comes from, and how it is formed in our developmental years. They also discuss how to distinguish whether the commentary we hear in our head is from others or our own.

The episode closes out with a few tools and resources including Brené Brown's book, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go Of Who You Think You’re Supposed To Be and Embrace Who You Are, which explores exactly what the title says...embracing your authentic self, rather than trying to live life as who you think you're supposed to be.

Join Desiree & Benita, two former educators, discussing how they gained the courage to leave the classroom and begin creating the life they desire! In this week's episode, the dynamic duo talk about the beauty of sisterhood and how solid friendships with women can be such a life hack!

In the Pioneering Women segment, we highlight and honor Maya Angelou, who was a celebrated American poet, author, activist, and memoirist, best known for her powerful works that explore themes of identity, racism, resilience, and the human spirit. Benita does a beautiful reading of her renowned poem, Phenomenal Woman, and Desiree does an interpretive dance...that you may or mayn't be able to catch on YouTube at some point. Lol

As they move into the episode topic, Desiree & Benita discuss the beauty and benefits of cultivating a sisterhood with like-minded women who uplift, encourage, and motivate each other to do better.

The episode closes out with advice on practical ways to be better friends to the women in our lives and strengthen our bonds and connections.
