Hey everyone, and happy Friday to anyone tuning in!

So, after two months of unemployment, your girl landed a new job. In this episode, I share what I like about my new job, what I do, and how things have been going.

Besides finding a new job, I also had a fun photoshoot collaboration last Sunday with Anthony - a local photographer in the Philadelphia area.

To top this episode off, I share my first small business shoutout.
As my way of helping raise awareness of other small businesses.

So that said, this week's shoutout goes to Mental Health Matters.
Small business, bringing awareness to the stigma around mental health.
In the form of mugs, shirts, hoodies, etc.

And other than that, sit back, relax, grab your snacks, and let's get this episode poppin'!

Hey everyone, and happy Sunday to anyone tuning in!

So, since taking my unexpected hiatus from the podcast, it has not been easy to remain positive. And upbeat due to being unemployed, which has put my mental health in limbo. In this chit-chat, I go over my struggle with depression, unemployment, and being dependent on others.

Something I wished never happened at all. But despite this, I have also experienced some good moments -that made me feel better about my situation -giving me positive reinforcement.

From attending a private event over Labor Day weekend, planning my first collaboration of the year with a photographer, to opening up my Etsy shop, I am excited for my life and the future.

And other than that, sit back, relax, grab your snacks, and let's get this episode poppin'!
