Read MoreToday, we're talking about faith, family and growing through the various seasons of life. As we embark upon milestones, that's such a good time to reflect on life and lessons, which is why I sat down with my special guest this week who is none other than my mom, Shirley Franklin. She is turning 60 in December, and is currently celebrating her 60 day countdown to 60. In fact, we're kicking off the countdown right now with vacation in Jamaica.

Read MoreTaking care of ourselves before we take care of others is so important, which is why today's episode is all about self-care. It's far more than a buzz word. It's essential to our well being, growth and and more. My guest this week is self care consultant and creative direct, Candice Denise. Candice’s own self care journey + wellness experiences, knowledge, personal revelations and struggles as an entrepreneur, coupled with her desire to empower other women eventually led her to create CD Creative Loft. Now, she works with high achieving female leaders, founders, entrepreneurs and organizations, around the country, teaching them how to prioritize themselves daily, remove self-care from their to do lists, and work past the “guilt and selfish” stigmas often associated with self care. Candice teaches her clients how to easily infuse simple self care practices & routines into their busy day to day schedules to support their overall success, and maintain a lifestyle centered around putting their well-being, first.
