We had the pleasure of speaking to Jalen Nelson of the Lick My Fashion Brand, on how he's been able to build a massive social media following without losing the things that make him him. As an educator, influencer and celebrity stylist he's been able to create quite the name for himself. One things for certain, he may just be one of the most down to earth influencers in the biz. 

This episode is for you if:

• You're considering becoming an influencer but afraid of crazy criticism
• You want to know how Jalen renews his faith and stays grounded
• You find yourself wanting to delete your social media every other week

In true FOC fashion we had a transparent conversation with the CEO herself, SashaGai, Body Positivity Content Creator & Owner of Flaws of Couture. To know Sasha is to feel empowered by her even if the only time you see her is the 30-second clips of motivation she often posts on social media. Her confidence is something that doesn’t go unnoticed, so we talked about it.

You’ll want to tune in if you:

• Have been wondering how to deepen your self love game
• Are having trouble dealing with the critics without credentials as you grow
• Are curious about alignment and how to know when you’ve found your purpose

In this episode, we sat down with the B.O.S.S, Business Operations System Specialist more affectionately known as Auntee Rik. Rik shared her wealth of knowledge in business spanning over 3 decades, in the arena of systems, automation and workflows. Her mission is simple: create the processes you need to give you a sense of control, prepare for scaling and avoid burnout. As business owners and freelancers we can feel pressured to take every opportunity out of fear of missing the next best thing. That energy of confusion zaps you of the energy you need to show up and robs you of success because you can't handle the increase of business. Check this episode out here if your passion project or business is slowly starting to become a burden. 

This episode with Spiritual Therapist @SeekCindy was nothing short of informational and equally insightful. Cindy shared her experiences growing up in an African home where being emotional wasn't considered ideal and how it affected her own journey to intuitive living. Together, we breakdown what gaslighting is and how you can better navigate it to break generational cycles. 

• We discuss passive vs. active gaslighting 
• How to strengthen and build up your discernment & learn to trust yourself again
• How to differentiate overthinking from an actual gaslighting situation

To your healing & breakthrough. 

Coming from humble beginnings Sasha & Mealica have been able to harness the power of their mind to create the successful lives they lead today. Sasha Vella is a full-time Realtor that also doubles as a financial coach who prides herself on pouring into women. Women play such an integral role in the family structure that it only makes sense to focus her efforts in financial literacy with the matriarchs.

What about the work friend that got you through your miscarriage that the company chose to relocate? No one talks about the pain in rebuilding without your homies in your corner. The hard truth about friendship and growth is that sometimes we just aren't compatible anymore. 

On this episode we discuss:
