This week on our iced-out, diamond-drenched Part One episode, we're deep in glamorous chaos with Miami queen and former Real Housewives of Miami star, Lea Black, inside the Palazzo Suite. Draped in diamonds and flanked by bodyguards, Lea drops jaw-dropping stories—from her Texas roots and Beverly Hills nights to jury duty fatefully leading her to powerhouse attorney (and future husband) Roy Black. She opens up about building a beauty empire, her philanthropic passion, and how she's helping families achieve home ownership—all while serving lewks and legacy. Lea dishes on revamping Roy's office (and image), transforming him into a legal media star who went on to defend clients like Rush Limbaugh, Kelsey Grammer, William Kennedy Smith, and Marv Albert. From courtroom dramas to reality TV chaos, nothing's off-limits. Oh, and her bling? Iconic. Her first bank loan at 18? Spent on a diamond. Now she's teasing a Lea Black Jewelry Line with dupe-worthy dazzlers for stylish socialites everywhere. Pol' reads Lea's Armenian coffee cup and sees big moves ahead—reviving her iconic skincare line and selling designer treasures for charity. “I love seeing people thrive,” she says, revealing a heart as big as her rock collection. And yes, the Housewives tea is scalding. Lea spills on how she was never meant to be a full-time cast member, and how producers roped her in after Joe Francis name-dropped her at a taping. She recalls betrayal at the reunion, behind-the-scenes scripting, and castmates who turned cruel once cameras rolled. Her response? “That might've been for the show for you—but not for me.” She calls out “trash over class” casting, confirms friendships with Joanna Krupa, Lisa Hochstein, Karen Sierra, and Anna Kournikova, and praises Teresa Giudice's legendary table flip. There's even a royal roast: Lea muses on William, Kate, Charles, Camilla, Harry, and Meghan, cheekily wondering if the real crisis is PR—not cancer. Plus: Lea weighs in on Jeff Lewis's new man, bougie husbands, COVID-era luxury, the power of a great handbag, and Chump Nation's coffee-reading obsession. From Real Housewife to real-deal philanthropist, Lea Black proves you can wear couture and still care. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Hey Thrive Tribe! It's time to put the bags down. In this episode we discuss how much we pick up and carry that weighs us down and actually stops us twin mamas from moving forward in our purpose and desires. Carrying the bags to some degree makes us think we are in control, but reality is some things are out of our control. And the more we carry the less space we have for the things we actually need. So let it go! Mama, let it all go and let God carry your bags and give you rest. Listen in for the 5 practical steps to make this happen.

Her teaching and research explore Black women writers, Black identity, trauma theory, and American slavery. She is the founder of Black Women Stitch, the sewing group where Black lives matter. She is also the host/producer of Stitch Please, a weekly audio podcast that centers on Black women, girls, and femmes in sewing.

You're using different fabrics and even if you use some of the same fabrics, it would be different outcomes. If you use some of the same shapes, it will look a bit different” – Lisa Woolfork, Stitch Please, Episode #204“Just do it! Just try it! Even if you are scared, like, I was scared to death to start bags, but I just did it. The first one, very questionable, but I did it. And the second part to that, is “Take your time!”. I am doing a bag right now and it's taking me forever. I think Nikki asked about it on one of my Tiktoks. It's fifty million pieces, but I'm not a quitter, so I'm gonna finish that bag. But take your time because you wanna make sure that you grasp whatever concept it is that's telling you to do the bag or the process, and then you wanna make sure it sticks and then that will help you in the end, as far as other bag making.” – Lanae, Stitch Please, Episode #204“Give yourself grace! You're not gonna be out the gate perfect at anything, you're gonna have that first test run. So, give yourself grace and be patient.” – Nikki, Stitch Please, Episode #204“Enjoy the journey! I've been growing my hair for nineteen years, so, same rules apply with bag-making. Do not try to go from “brand new” to “professional” overnight, it ain't gonna happen, plus you're gonna skip learning so many amazing feels. Enjoy the journey, enjoy that first bag you make, enjoy that first wallet you make, enjoy that first hand-bag you make.” – Tanisha, Stitch Please, Episode #204 Resources Mentioned:Necessary Clutch WalletThe “Melesi Tote” sewing techniqueTiktok https://www.tiktok.com/Sew Your Bag https://sewyourbag.com/Etsy https://www.etsy.com/ Stay Connected:YouTube: Black Women StitchInstagram: Black Women StitchFacebook: Stitch Please Podcast Lisa WoolforkInstagram: Lisa WoolforkTwitter: Lisa Woolfork  Subscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry.

"When I look back on my success, nine out of ten startups fail. What helped me beat the odds was my ability to tune into people, inspiring them to take action and make a better world," - Lisa D.Foster Plastic has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, but its convenience has come at a high cost. Millions of tons of plastic waste are dumped into our oceans and landfills every year, causing harm to wildlife and ecosystems. By 2050, it's estimated that there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. "I got mad about the plastic use, I got mad about the paper bag use, and I saw a different way,” Lisa D. Foster founded One Bag at a Time, a reusable grocery bag company, and grew it to an $8M business before selling it in 2017. Born into a Holocaust-affected family, Lisa overcame low expectations to become an English teacher before pivoting to become a purpose-driven eco-entrepreneur and pioneer in the fight against single-use plastic.  Now, as a business coach, she shares leadership and inspires change. She's also the author of the book, “Bag Lady.” On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Lisa joins Anjel to share her journey of founding and then selling her successful reusable grocery bag company at its peak. Listen in as she walks us through the impact one person can have on the world, the importance of taking action and the value of persistence, both in business and in life, and how it can help you overcome setbacks, achieve your goals, and become a better leader. What You Will Learn The impact of plastic on the environment and the inspiration behind One Bag at a Time Inc Lisa's journey from introverted youth to English teacher to eco-entrepreneur How Lisa's survivor mentality and persistence have driven her success The importance of believing in oneself and finding purpose How Lisa's experience as a teacher and leader influenced her approach to business coaching How you can transition from one career or passion to another by following your heart and pursuing what you truly care about What is great leadership How working with a skilled coach or mentor can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals Connect with Lisa D.

Welcome back to the Moda Metiers Visionaries podcast, season 2! This season, we're taking things up a notch, diving into the world of sustainable and impactful fashion. And, who better to kick off this exciting new chapter than our guest this month, Lisa D. Foster. Lisa is a true trailblazer, starting her journey as a high school English teacher and transitioning to an eco-preneur with her first-to-market reusable grocery bag company, 1 Bag at a Time. As a pioneer in the fight against single-use plastic, Lisa quickly became a top supplier of reusable bags in the US. Today, Lisa shares her expertise in leadership and emotional intelligence as a business coach and author. In this episode, Lisa takes us on a journey through her life as an ecopreneur, from the founding and growth of 1 Bag at a Time to her transition to coaching. She shares the motivation behind her memoir "Bag Lady" and the challenges she faced along the way. Lisa also delves into the role of emotional intelligence and the Tipping Point formula in her success, as well as offering advice for those who may not have access to well-known networks. She explains how she incorporates sustainability into her coaching work and shares an example of a time when she helped a client improve their leadership and sustainability practices. We also dive into the topic of effective communication of sustainability efforts, and Lisa provides invaluable advice for business leaders just starting to incorporate sustainability practices into their operations. And, she gives us a sneak peek into some of her upcoming projects related to emotional intelligence, leadership, and sustainability. So, sit back, relax, and get ready to learn from one of the leading voices in the sustainable fashion space!

We have had so many wonderful guests this year, but before we celebrate the new year, I welcome one more guest. I invited healer, channeler, angel painter, and author Nami Nesterowicz, to the podcast to discuss what 2023 will bring. He channels the angels, translating their messages into beautiful colors on canvas. Nami is also co-owner of The Bag Lady in Charlotte, NC with his wife Susan. Nami teaches about the archangels, how to feel energies, how to call the angels in to help and identify areas of unease in their body to heal. Nami has painted over 5,000 spiritual portraits and helped over 10,000 clients. In today's episode, Nami and I talk about how he opened to his spiritual path and how his experiences with those divine beings on the other side gave guidance and understanding to his clients. Nami will also be offering insights into what his angels are telling him about 2023. One more thing before I sign off, I'd like to take a minute to remind you of the powerful beings you are. You can construct 2023 to be the year you want it to be. As you may have heard me say, each day is a blank canvas, and you can create it any way you choose. The power you behold is tremendous. If you can feel the power, but don't know how to access it, I am able to help you. Reach out to me at marla@mghealer.com to arrange a complimentary 20-minute consultation. Wishing you all 2023 filled with love, laughter, connection with nature, great health, prosperity, and gratitude. Please know that each day my love and gratitude for you are unwavering. Happy 2023!   For more information about Nami: angelsbysunami.com

Sometimes you've come farther than you think you have.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Rikki Quintana. For most of her adult life, Rikki has been haunted by a vivid image of a woman in a flower sack dress, sitting under a bridge with a shopping cart. That woman is the personification of Rikki's bag lady syndrome that she recently came to terms with. This fear stemmed from a chaotic childhood where Rikki couldn't rely on the adults in her life to do what was needed to take care of her. With maturity and focus, Rikki came to realize that no amount of money could cure the bag lady syndrome. It was a hypothetical problem, and not a real problem she faced. Rikki grew up in a chaotic family in which she called herself the “white sheep in a family of black sheep.” That took the form of being the rule-following perfectionist of the family with a focus on security, control, and risk avoidance. This outlook served her well as a “straight A” student and later as a lawyer, working for large prestigious law firms and their Fortune 500 clients. But eventually, after more than 30 years of practicing law, that linear focus on the standard external measures of success wasn't enough. Instead, she felt herself called to re-engage in what always spoke to her heart- international and inter-cultural relationships and communication. (She was a language major as an undergraduate, but then took the risk-averse career path to law.) Rikki founded HoonArts Fair Trade in a blind leap of faith in 2014. In retrospect, she's grateful that she didn't know what she didn't know! Starting from “ground zero” as the first person to work on building a US market for handicrafts from Tajikistan, HoonArts is now a verified fair trade business, working with artisan groups in 3 Central Asian countries. With customers on 4 continents, HoonArts is helping to empower over 100 artisans, mostly rural women. Rikki is passionate about using her long-term partnerships with master artists to open a doorway to this amazing region. In the process, she's had to completely redefine her relationship to money, risk, success, and failure.
