Mother's Day and the recent passing of controversial social media personality and YouTuber has me thinking a lot about legacy. Being childfree means I have to be intentional and thoughtful about what my legacy is and who I will pass it on to--and I don't just mean tangible items. But what was even more interesting was the spectrum of responses I witnessed after the YouTuber's passing. I'm sure if he were here, he would vehemently defend what he would say his legacy is.But that's the thing, once we leave this Earth our legacy is largely made of the feelings, experiences, and perceptions other people have of us. I want all of us to lead and live a life in order to leave a legacy that we design and are proud of. And that's what we're discussing today... * What is legacy and what I think about it * Why legacy is important * How to create a legacy * Who to leave your legacy to * Ways to document and preserve your legacy SHOW NOTES: https://unbecomingconversations.com/episode5/ * What is Legacy? - 3:21 * Evaluate Your Legacy - 15:53 * The Obituary Exercise - 21:37 * Your 80th Birthday Exercise - 22:40 * Ways to Leave a Legacy - 24:09 * Legacy Ideas - 24:58

*~* SHOW NOTES *~* https://godssignaturestatement.com/unoffendedlifepodcast/ I’m doing a 2 part series on living an unoffended life. While listening to a podcast interview, the interviewer said something that I haven’t been able to shake, “what if we focused on loving the people that matter to us and living an unoffended life?” Listen, I get it. We encounter some truly WACK situations and people in daily life that honestly leaves us with the RIGHT to feel offended (and to stay there for a minute). One of the things I’ve learned early on, is that intentionally choosing to live an unoffended life improves the quality of your life. And I want all of us to have the best life possible! Let me know your thoughts!

You will love this conversation with Minister Adrienne Young, author of "Don't Go Thrifting Without Me." She drops so many nuggets about not just thrifting--but living a purposeful life. Be sure to grab her book on Amazon at https://amzn.to/2AUo9l3

In this episode of The TrendSetters Podcast, it's my favorite segment--The Life of a Creative. In this episode I feature the Oscar-nominated, award winning film director and easily the top 5 examples of #blackgirlmagic, Ava Duvernay. So many quotes, lessons, and parts to her journey that many of us can relate to...can't wait for you to listen!

I am fascinated by the life of creatives. From rappers to film directors, I am intrigued by what motivates them, their mantras, how they approach their work, etc. Coming off 3 stellar wins at the 2017 Grammys, my first focus for my series The Life of a Creative is Chance the Rapper. An award winning rapper with no record deal, no distribution deal, no publishing deal--streaming only content that he owns 100%.

The inaugural episode of The TrendSetters Podcast. In this episode I introduce myself by sharing the journey and story of my purpose. I also share what a trendsetter is and how discovering your purpose can put you on a path to discovering, developing and deploying your purpose.
