In the interview, she shares her own story of how she turned her love of crocheting cats into a successful business, and she provides tips and advice for other entrepreneurs who want to do the same.

There are many different types of crochet businesses out there, so it's important to figure out what makes your business unique. What sets your crochet cats apart from the competition? Once you know your niche, you can start to target your marketing and sales efforts accordingly. Another important tip from Shade is to build a strong brand identity. Your brand is what will make your business stand out from the crowd, so it's important to develop a strong brand identity that reflects your personality and your business values. This includes things like your logo, your website design, and your social media presence. Shade also discusses the importance of pricing your products correctly. It's important to make sure that you're charging enough to cover your costs and make a profit, but you also don't want to price your products so high that you turn off potential customers. Shade recommends doing some research to see what other crochet businesses are charging for similar products. Finally, Shade reminds entrepreneurs that it's important to be patient and persistent. Building a successful business takes time and effort, but it's definitely possible if you're passionate about what you're doing.

Having Proof of Afterlife Can Activate a Secret Sign from the Universe and Continue the Memory of Someone You Love and Lose The loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences a person can go through. It is natural to long for any sign that they are still with us, even after they are gone. For some people, having proof of an afterlife can be a source of great comfort. It can give them hope that their loved ones are in a better place, and that they will be reunited with them someday. In addition, having proof of an afterlife can activate a secret sign from the universe. When we believe that our loved ones are still with us, we are more open to receiving messages and signs from them. We may notice things that we would have otherwise overlooked, or we may have dreams or visions that give us comfort. Having proof of an afterlife can also help us to continue the memory of our loved ones. Our guest, Monica will share her story that When we know that they are still with us in spirit, we are more likely to talk about them and share their stories with others. This helps to keep their memory alive, and to ensure that they are never forgotten.

Tonight, I have the amazing opportunity to hear the thoughts and realities of the work and resiliency of black Social workers, who by their own resilience battle systemic sexism.I'm talking intelligent and passionate. This discussion wades through the facade of being a social worker in such a time as this in such a system as we are given to help others yet help ourselves.  I was thrown to hear how the teachers start to brain wash the students even before graduation. What???? There is a lot of trauma and the bullshit given to someone on the sharp end of personal and institutional racism.I knew that competent and passionate Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) are put through imbalanced responsibilities and were always put in the backend leadership because it happened to me.    From being given insurmountable tasks to not receiving the support they need to live a balanced life, only to later on eventually burn out.  I want to share their stories so that we all look at what we think we want to do with a little more research and planning so that we don't become the test subject in our own lives  Hear the Thoughts and truth from black social workers.  #socialworkers #socialworkbreaksbarriers #lifecoachforwomen #blacklinkedin#blacksocialworkers EOC of Suffolk, Inc. Family Services   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingitrealonpurpose/message

By 21, I had already had my fair share of struggles. Clinical depression often hid behind my smile, but, deep down, I never lost hope. Not really. As I began to heal and find my place in the world, something unthinkable happened. I awoke with a man, a stranger, in my bed. Then he stabbed me. Seven times. I lost 21 pints of blood. Statistically, I should not have survived. Yet here I am. Telling my story. Candidly, honestly, courageously. Hoping that I may help others do the same. To heal. To hope. And above all else, to love. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingitrealonpurpose/message

Raven Transcending Fear is part memoir, part self-help guide. It's the authors' raw and personal story of childhood abuse, and diving deep into her terror before ultimately getting comfortable with fear and transcending it. Though Terri had loving people in her life, her mother was abusive and enabled others to traumatize her. To get drugs, her mother allowed strangers to assault her 11-year-old body sexually. She then left her and her sister alone on the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Terri's childhood left her filled with fear until she embarked on a spiritual journey and learned the skills of empowerment, which have allowed her to transcend the fear and regain a connection with the Divine. Everyone is born fearless and knowing who they are and what their purpose is. However, life experience or abuse may instill fear and break the connection with our authentic selves. Through this memoir, readers will go on the journey with her as Terri moves from a life ruled by fear to fearlessness. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingitrealonpurpose/message

We have built a system specialized for "sick care," and yet we expect the results of "health care."America's healthcare system is the most expensive in the world, but more money hasn't equated to better outcomes. What's worse, medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Why are we spending so much but getting so little?In Health Guardianship, surgeon-scientist Firouz Daneshgari provides an unflinching exploration into the systemic dysfunction caused (primarily) by America's fee-for-service healthcare model. Procedures and surgeries generate revenue; healthy people don't. Can our healthcare system be healed? Daneshgari details a framework for a new healthcare paradigm that prioritizes mitigation of health risks and elimination of chronic conditions, and rewards guardianship of health, not delivery of sick care services. He describes how this new model can be implemented using the existing primary care infrastructure, with the integration of virtual health and wellness services to make proactive, consumer-centric healthcare as convenient and affordable as shopping and banking.America's reactive healthcare system isn't working. Health Guardianship offers a proactive solution that creates more reasonably priced, accessible, equitable healthcare for everyone. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/keepingitrealonpurpose/message

Losing someone's trust is easy—building it back is much harder. In Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, Darryl Stickel answers the key questions leaders face: what is trust, why is it essential to leadership, and how can I become more trusted? Trust is a basic, intuitive human reaction; it holds the fabric of our society together. Unfortunately, trust is at an all-time low in our institutions, governments, healthcare, and law enforcement. Fewer people attend a place of worship than at any time in the last eighty-plus years. Citizens fear their votes are not being counted and that politicians are lying to them—that the system itself has no legitimacy. People fail to take life-saving vaccines because they don't trust what medical professionals and policymakers tell them. In law enforcement, a lack of trust motivates non-cooperation, fear, and a breakdown in law and order. We are facing an unprecedented trust-deficit crisis. In Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, Darryl Stickel, one of the world's foremost experts on trust, outlines his groundbreaking Trust Unlimited blueprint for building trust. Stickel moves away from the traditional approach of influencing people's willingness to trust—the con artist's tactic—to employing one or more of ten levers, which leaders can “pull” to close the gap between how much they are trusted and how much they should be. This approach also makes them more trustable and increases trust where it is deficient. Detailed case studies provide examples of his Trust Unlimited model in action. Have questions?
