This week, Marissa sits down to talk with the visionary President and Founder of Activate Worldwide LLC, Lucinda Cross. Lucinda opens with an energetic introduction and speaks about the shift that has been most impactful in her life (5:04). She then gets real about the role of outsider opinions on the things you should have done in your life (9:15). Lucinda reveals to Marissa how she made impactful change after federal prison (11:40) and broke away from what she knew, overcoming her fear of something greater (18:40). Marissa continues the conversation by asking Lucinda if she ever got stuck along her journey (19:30), to which Lucinda opens up about how manifestation techniques delivered her from the rut she found herself in. She closes the topic with the statement that it takes the same amount of energy to manifest an apartment as it does to manifest a mansion (23:47).

This week, Marissa sits down to talk with the inspiring CEO of Moruwa Consulting and the founder of Significant Life, Janice Roberson-Anderson. Janice begins the discussion with her greatest passion right now: working as the founder of Significant Life, a community for high performing women who love Jesus and want to lead and serve from an anchored place, which Janice defines as being grounded while having the courage to come undone when needed (6:03). Marissa then asks Janice to talk about her greatest shift and Janice gets real about her relationship with the Church and how learning to be a rule-breaker instead of a rule-follower changed her life (16:02). She reveals that a conversation with her First Lady at the time freed her to make this shift, giving her the courage to change her mind and make different decisions (18:10). Marissa brings the discussion full circle by bringing up the importance of being anchored in these times of shift, to which Janice responds with three core attributes of an anchored life: sacred self-perception, life-giving connections, and the space to make an irreplaceable change in the world (30:26). Janice can be found on all social media platforms at @janiceanderson.

This week, Marissa sits down to talk with the Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker, and super-(s)hero, Britney Harris. Britney starts the discussion with her most transformational shift: gaining the courage to push back her shame and talk about her abortion in college (11:12). Britney tells Marissa that she chose to open up because she wished she had other women around her who were talking about their stories and she felt as if she was not telling her complete story (13:00) Marissa continues the conversation by bringing up shame and hush cultures, specifically the Church and the Black community (16:58). Britney then reveals that being courageous is the presence of audacity, which for her manifested as sharing her story with others (18:30). Britney wraps up the conversation with her advice for others: to do the best with what you have and what you know (27:32), silence the voices around you (28:36), and call in reinforcements who will hold space for you (34:29).
