    EP 27. I Love Everything About Me with Author Fatima Scipio
    Dec 12 2023
    When a woman is on a mission to bring all of her dreams to fruition, she is unstoppable. But often, she has to set aside her personal ambitions when her family, specifically her children, need her. Her dreams become deferred; however, it's usually for a finite time. When those children are almost out of the door and on their way to the next phase of their own independent lives, she dusts off her list and begins to tackle everything on it with great fervor. Fatima Scipio is an accomplished businesswoman who has authored four books, leads a media company, runs an organization that empowers young girls and leads a flourishing career in nonprofit management. Much success has come her way, however, in the true sense of motherhood, she recalls the time that she had to set her career aside to give her son her undivided attention and ensure that she was instrumental in establishing his path to success. She wanted the honor of getting to know more about him and being very present in all aspects of his life. Author Fatima Scipio recently published her new children's book entitled I Love Everything About Me. This book is on fire and the reviews are outstanding. Parents of young girls are loving the content and illustrations that all resonate so beautifully with their daughters. Here's what we discuss during the interview: 1) Her reliance on faith to determine what she is called to do 2) Temporarily leaving her career to be more present with her son 3) Leveraging her superpowers to achieve success 4) Inspiration for writing her new children's book 5) Overcoming fears to get what she wants Learn more about this chic busy mom who is doing it all.

    EP 26. How to Feel Better About Yourself by Dressing for Your Body Type Today
    Mar 18 2023
    A woman's personal style is forever evolving. Life experiences and circumstances can affect her approach to style. Weight gain or weight loss, pregnancies, age and time, can introduce changes to her body, which in turn affect the clothing she purchases, how she styles herself and how the selected clothing drapes her body. These factors can contribute to her confidence level. I connect with Master Style Coach Michele Nidiffer for advice on how women can regain their confidence through style. In this interview, she highlights recommendations that women can embrace to feel more beautiful and confident in their everyday lives by selecting clothing based on their current body types. Michele empowers women through personal style and encourages them to dress for the body they are in right now. She is the founder of the StyleFinder Boutique, host of the Style by Mary Michele Podcast, creator of the online course, How to Find Your Signature Style, and author of the upcoming book "How to Wear Color with Confidence". Through her expertise, she becomes a problem solver who helps women discover how beautiful they really are. Here’s what we discuss during the interview: 1) Evolution of personal style 2) The power of color 3) Connection between style and confidence 4) Dress for the body you're in right now 5) Style is not about labels You can follow Master Style Coach Michele Nidiffer here: Instagram: @stylebymarymichele and @shopstylefinder TikTok: @stylebymarymichele and @shopstylefinder Website: https://shopstylefinder.com/ Join in on the conversation with Podcast Host Bri Cobb: Instagram: www.instagram.com/livinghernextphase/ Website: https://www.livinghernextphase.com/ Bri Cobb is the founder of Living Her Next Phase, a community of women who boldly, daringly and courageously start anew to get what they want and live their most fulfilling lives ever.
