I did not plan for this episode at all. ⁣
⁣
It was never even on my radar. ⁣
⁣
But then I had a friend commit suicide last week. ⁣
The 8th person I know who has ended their life within the past year and a half. ⁣
⁣
This one hit close to home though. ⁣
Too close. ⁣
⁣
But it was my dear friends death that made me realize we need to talk about mental health. ⁣
More than ever now. ⁣
And not just on specific days. ⁣
But ALL the days. ⁣
⁣
And so I sat in front of my microphone and these are the words that just came out. ⁣
⁣
In one consistent flow. ⁣
No pauses. ⁣
No redos. ⁣
No content edits. ⁣
⁣
Just an open honest conversation about mental health in general. ⁣
Topped with my personal experience. ⁣
⁣
So sit with me in this episode as I get incredibly vulnerable, ⁣
& grieve my old self and my dear friend. ⁣
⁣
This ones for you Rebecca, ⁣
And for anyone who is battling a darkness.⁣
And for anyone who mourns someone who has lost their battle. ⁣
And just for anyone who is an advocate for mental health. ⁣
⁣

Welcome to the first guest episode!!!!

This Beauty Branding Badass, also known as Aja Coore is like no other human. Some might say I am bias as she is my cousin, but I am confident that once you get to know her, you would agree with me. 

In this episode we chat all things creative, risk taking, adapting and learn secrets of how Aja built a business that transformed her life and the lives of so many others.

I couldn’t ask for a better guest to premiere my guest episodes as Aja literally is the definition of creating her own Rad Reality.  By knowing what she wants and going to no limits to get it,  you won’t want to miss this conversation.
