The Dream ChaseHer Podcast

This week I sat down with Tamika Christy, award winning author and writing coach to talk about how having a strong community of Black women entrepreneurs was one of the keys to seeing herself as an entrepreneur.

In this episode we’re discussing self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from going after our deepest dreams. Imposture syndrome often keeps us stuck and questioning our brilliance. It’s time to see yourself walking in your true destiny. Believing in the seeds of greatness that God has placed on your heart.

Today we are joined by fellow Dream ChasHer, Claudia Walker, who is  an author, former principal and a proud HBCU graduate. Her best-selling book series, “The ABCs of HBCUs” and “The ABCs of Black Wall Street” were inspired by her undergraduate experiences at Spelman College. In January 2023, both books were featured in Target stores as part of their Black History Month collection.

Claudia shares:

- How she prepared her brand for a Target partnership

- Leaving a legacy for her children

- Being an introvert business owner

- Her "come to Jesus meeting" in 2018 that lead to the growth of her business

- How she stays motivated during tough seasons

We’re backkkkk. I’m excited to launch another season of the Dream ChaseHer podcast!

Today, we’re discussing barriers that keep business owners stuck in the should’ve, would’ve, could’ve. It’s time to step out on faith, and into your fullest potential as the CEO of your business.

In this episode, I’ll discuss: 

*Ways to remove your self-limiting beliefs

*How your unique value can set you apart in business

*What it takes to live out your wildest dreams

Running a successful business isn’t an exact science. Rather it's an experiment. With these tips and inspiration, you’ll be able to unlock the next level of your entrepreneurial journey. No matter where you are in your path, you can make a change starting today. It’s the small commitments that help execute the big, market-moving ideas. Today is the day to take that leap, and go for it!! 

I’m excited for your journey, Dream ChaseHer!!

If you think IT can't be done, you just haven't met our guest yet.

On today’s episode we have, Dawn McMahan, a serial entrepreneur with businesses that cross industry lines from family law where she serves as an attorney providing domestic violence survivors and minors who are the victims of human trafficking with the resources they need to get out and move forward in a positive light.

If that wasn’t enough she also created a premium loose leaf tea brand providing a space of wellness for us all to enjoy. Most recently Dawn launched Mel & Ash, a lifestyle and beauty brand with some friends dedicated to the empowerment of women. This company was started after her sister lost her life to domestic violence.

Dawn is a living testimony that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

In today’s episode we chat about how:

• She went to law school as a mom of multiples
  
• The sudden death of her sister due to domestic violence spearheaded a beauty revolution
  
• Following her gut helped her to leaps over fear
