Business & Personal Success w/Brandi Taylor
Monday Jan 11, 2021
Monday Jan 11, 2021
Today's guest is the first guest of the year. I wanted to have Brandi Taylor on because she is an accomplished beauty expert. Last year (2020) brought us a lot of uncertainty, but Brandi was able to scale her business in creative ways that increased her exposure and income.
We are still fresh in the new year and what better time to find ways to set ourselves up for success?
In this episode, Brandi share with us ways we can set goals, the importance of having a plan, and ultimately how being true to yourself is the best gift you can give yourself.
Brandi was so generous to give away materials that will help you set goals for this year and her Ebook that is full of positive affirmations.
Brandi is not new to the beauty industry as she coaches and helps other beauty pros scale their business and increase their income. She also has a podcast that shares everything you need to know about the beauty industry and the business side of it.

Happy New Year! I am so excited to share with you what I have created for you!
My family and I are owners of a beauty school and we just celebrated 21 years of owning and operating the beauty school. We have several different programs such as cosmetology, esthetics, manicuring, instructor training, and natural hair.
Natural Hair programs are rare to find and cosmetology curriculums do not spend a great deal, if any at all on the proper education of working with naturally curly, coily textures and for years, I would see students from all over graduate these expensive programs to enter the real world still lacking in the education of their textured hair.
It has been my desire to bring the education that I share with my natural hair programs to people all over that are interested in learning the hands-on and theoretical portion, improving their skills, increasing their income, and most importantly providing an excellent service to their clients.

Natural Hair Education Podcast Overview
Monday Dec 21, 2020
Monday Dec 21, 2020
In this week’s episode, I share an opportunity I had over the past weekend and the ah-ha or awareness I gained. I also share why and how this podcast came to life and a huge accomplishment for my first year as a podcast host.
This past weekend I was able to help bring characters of "The Shade Squad" to life by styling their hair. Here is what that experience taught me:
- People are nervous about letting new people touch their Natural Hair
- How I gained their trust
- Good stylist vs. one you can trust
So why Natural Hair Education Podcast?
This podcast was created to educate, empower, and embrace our essence through natural hair and bring awareness and education to those who want to learn more about their hair. I know that doing the inner work through acts of self-love through my 5 Pillars will provide the confidence to embrace your true self through the acceptance of Natural Hair.
My 2020 accomplishment
During my first year having a Podcast, I made #4 of the top 25 Natural Hair Podcast on the Internet. When I received the email, I just knew I made #25 and I am #4. Thank you for the support of the Natural Hair Education Podcast!

Janae is a Personal Finance Strategist and Money Coach who helps independent women buy back their time by gaining a better understanding and relationship with their money. She teaches wealth building principles and believes God has truly given you every resource today to have a better future tomorrow, you just have to take inventory of your current assets and learn how to use them to grow not just your money but build the life you desire.
In this episode, the first thing Janae explains is the importance of having a mindset shift. Does the system you currently have work for you? Do you see an increase financially with the current way of handling your finances?
Here are some tips from Janae:
- Money is currency
- Track what you are spending
- A Budget is giving your money a place to go
- Save and Invest
- A lot of times we have enough money we are just misallocating it
- Financial Freedom starts in the mind
- If you have kids, look at their activities as an investment, not an expense
- Using bank apps can help you track your finances
- You’re either free or a slave to your finances
- Hire a coach to keep you accountable

"Queendom Care" Series: Clearing The Clutter w/ Kala Wilburn
Monday Nov 16, 2020
Monday Nov 16, 2020
Today's Queendom Care Series episode is all about SPACE! Special guest and industry leader in apparel construction, artistic development, and social change, Kala Wilburn teaches us about the importance of keeping our space clear of clutter.
I believe energy is all around us, in the spaces that we occupy and even our relationships. Both can impact the way we feel, act, and think. Clearing the clutter creates clarity that creates creativity and in order to move forward with good energy a clutter-free environment is a must.
Here are a few of Kala's tips:
-
Successful people have a routine and if you don’t have the space to help create a routine you cant be efficient in a routine.
-
If you want to go to different levels in your life you have to be organized.
- Starting small can help you feel accomplished by checking that tasks off the list.
-
Start with organizing your drawers. Everything within a space has a place and organizing trays can help.
-
Confidence is hidden in cluttered closets.
-
Why is your space cluttered? Asking questions creates conversations and can lead to breaking generational curses that you are not aware of.

"Queendom Care Series" The Spirit with Reality Edwards
Monday Nov 09, 2020
Monday Nov 09, 2020
Let me start by saying this is a conversation every woman must hear. I knew that Reality is full of wisdom but this conversation went beyond my expectations.
This episode is about Spirit, and how we can nurture our inner BEing, and Reality Edwards says that Affirmations are her go-to. It's her daily practice. Prayer, meditation, and affirmations are all cousins and either one you choose to practice will definitely benefit your inner BEing.
Reality Edwards is the CEO and founder of TheRealitycreations.com, a Certified Herbalist, Fertility support, Womb Wellness Practitioner, Doula, and your favorite Self-Care, Self-Love advocate. She shares so many valuable tips in this episode.
“We get our hair done, we get our nails one, we get massages but what do we do for our Yoni”- Reality Edwards
She also practices and provides womb wellness which is becoming a way to heal past trauma and show self-love through Yoni Steaming.
It works by absorbing the herbs and pulling toxins out of the body. Some benefits of Yoni Steaming is:
Takes away abdominal pain
Can help remove fibroids, endometriosis and help with the process of healing
Regulates and heal damaged tissue
Help you center yourself
Helps with soul ties and attachments
Removes bacteria
Enhances sex drive and natural lubrication
It’s a ritual of self-care
Here are a few highlights from my conversation with Reality:
"Surround yourself with the things you need. People are tools. People can be your Sun, the Water you need to flourish"
"Saying yes to conversations, yes to learning and being a student, and being okay with not knowing and allowing your Spirit to flow"
"Staying connected to sisterhood"
"You will find everything you need once you say yes to yourself"
"Self Care Heals"

"Queendom Care" Series: M;nd Ya Mental w/ Twanna Anderson
Monday Nov 02, 2020
Monday Nov 02, 2020
What are you doing for your mental?
The mind is the second pillar in the Queendom Care Series and Twanna Anderson is my special guest.
Twanna Anderson is the co-founder of the encouraging organization, Whenupray, Author of “Anxiety is Not Me” and creator of The M;nd Ya Mental Experience, a platform dedicated to providing online and hands-on resources for Mental Wellness.
In today's episode, Twanna and I have a conversation about mental wellness and steps we can do to nurture our mental as well as show ourselves some "self-care". She recommends seeing a therapist. You do not have to have years of trauma to speak with a therapist. This idea has been frowned upon in the black community, but as the years go by, we are seeing more and more African Americans have conversations and doing the work "on the couch". Twanna also says, massages, working out and yoga have great benefits to combat anxiety and help in mental wellness. Self-care may look different for each person and that's okay. Self-care can be coloring, resting, watching tv, taking a bath, and even having some alone time. Journaling is also a powerful way to learn patterns and triggers and to even see how far you've come.

"Queendom Care" Series: Taking Care of Your Body
Monday Oct 26, 2020
Monday Oct 26, 2020
This is the first episode where we break down Pillar #1 the Body!
There are so many ways we can support our bodies, but how do we start implementing and following through on positive behaviors when our emotions and feeling get in the way of that? Doing one thing such as changing your posture can help change your mood and possibly give you the energy needed to work on you.
I chose the Body to be the first pillar in Queendom Care Series because it is where our inner BEing lives, it's our temple while here on Earth. However, women, being the natural caretakers and nurturers that we are, don't always do the best at self-care.
In this episode, I cover 6 ways you can implement self-care. Be sure to create a schedule that fits YOU in your calendar.
Here are 6 ways to incorporate self-care for the Body:
- Exercise- Walking, running, yoga, boxing, aerobics, and at-home workouts are different ways to dedicate to our health and body. There are many activities you can do to help build muscle, which in return helps the body sustain. My brother created 9 exercise movements that will support your body's range of motions and overall longevity. Those seven movements are 1. Push, 2. Pull. 3. Bend, 4. Twist, 5. Lunge, 6. Squat, 7. Gait, 8. Carry and 9. Crawl We all use those activities daily and he has created workouts that will help support our lifestyle. Learn more here!
- Breath- Taking in deep inhales and exhales. Breathing intentionally helps relieve stress and tension in the body. Also, saying "thank you" to your heart, lungs, and kidneys.
- Massage- Getting regular massages, help relieve tension in the body as well as help in workout recovery. If you stand or sit for long periods of time, I'm sure you can use a massage here and there to help ease the tension in your body.
- Nutrition- We are what we eat is a true statement. In this episode, I explain how I prepare to make better food choices. It's easy to eat unhealthy, but when you make better choices for your body and inner health, you feel good overall and is like to continue to make better choices.
- Rest- Do not run yourself down. If you cant do it, you cant do it and guess, whatever it is will still be there waiting for you. We have to learn to put ourselves first. To fill our cups, support our body and mind however that look. Resting for you could be, reading a good book, it could be watching tv, a bubble bath, time by yourself. However that looks for you, you must incorporate it into your self-care regime.
- Physical care- Physical care is taking care of your hair, skin, and nails. Getting facials, your hair and nails done is an act of self-care. I am an advocate of self-care and it's my goal that as women we all learn ways to fit ourselves in our life's schedule and that we pay close attention to our body and our health.

"Queendom Care" Series: Gaining Clarity w/ Jateya Jones
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Today is the day you get to identify areas of the Queendom Pillars you want to grow in. Special guest, Jateya Jones, Clarity Coach is going to help layout practical steps you can do to identify areas in which you want more clarity in.
The Queendom Pillars are:
- Body
- Mind
- Spirit
- Space
- Money
We all can use some attention and self-care in each of the pillars. This episode will help you identify the areas you can use some improvements and self care.
In this episode, Jateya covers:
What is clarity?
A clear roadmap or crystal clear picture of how to get to a destination.
Identifying the Queendom pillars that could use more clarity.
To get to the clarity in any Queendom pillar, acceptance is required. Acceptance of Past (good and bad), present (even if you aren't where you want to be YET), and accept that you are worthy of your desired future.
To get to acceptance, you have to keep your cup full and then you are able to give from your overflow/saucer. There are 6 cup fillers and you should set SMART goals for each.
- Faith - Fath w/o works are dead, Write the vision make it plain (importance of journaling), you take the first few steps of a stairwell w/o seeing the top.
- Finance - Do you know where your money is going? Don't create stress for tomorrow today.
- Fitness - mentally (affirmations, books, podcast, etc) and physically
- Family/Friends - Boundaries (self first is not selfish), loving out of fear, vibrations
- Food - It's not just what we consume for nutrients, it is also what we see and hear.
- Fun - This is necessary for the soul...knowing what brings you joy.
The benefits of having clarity
- saves time and energy
- manifestation in 3D
- Increased income and impact (dr appt, more capacity to give)
The negative effect of not having clarity
Whispers of doubt, depression, complacency, feeling stuck, a constant state of IDK, broken relationships, physical/emotionally fatigue, short attention span, irritability, decreased health overall, frustration, not manifesting
Steps to take to work towards gaining clarity:
- Accept
- Believe
- Brain Dump
- Plan to W.I.N.
- Prioritize your stressors
Now that you have identified the areas you want to grow stronger in, you can use the tips Jateya suggests to help nurture and build up your Queendom.
