In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and attorney Paisley Piasecki — and y'all, this conversation is such a special one. We're talking all about writing new chapters, navigating big transitions, and what it really looks like to build a life (and community) from scratch in a brand new city. Paisley shares her journey of leaving a high-powered law career in NYC, moving to Savannah, and founding the now-thriving networking group Square 25. We talk about following your gut, creating space to think, and the underrated power of finding your favorite coffee shop when you're starting over. Whether you're in a season of change or dreaming about one, I think this episode will leave you feeling encouraged, seen, and maybe even a little braver. Here's what we cover: What to do in your first month in a new city The real reason she walked away from her “dream job” in NYC The power of journaling + getting granular when designing your next chapter How Square 25 grew into a creative hub for young professionals in Savannah Redefining what work-life balance actually looks like This one is full of heart, honesty, and real-life inspiration. Let's dive in. About Your Brand of Beautiful Host, Bailie White: Bailie White is a motivational speaker with nearly 10 years of entrepreneurial experience and a heart for serving, motivating, and encouraging women. After starting and scaling her first business — a luxury travel agency with a team of 15 women, a celebrity clientele, and multi-millions of dollars in annual sales — she sold the business after realizing what she once thought was her dream didn't fully align with the woman she wanted to become. Today, Bailie is the host of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast (debuting on Apple's Top Charts) and a published author and speaker. Bailie facilitates workshops and delivers keynote speeches to college women, young professionals, and mamapreneurs. She teaches these women how to Stop Being Busy, Quiet The Noise, and Start Being Them — she teaches them how to become Their Own Brand of Beautiful. Bailie has been featured in media outlets like Buzzfeed and Forbes, but is most proud of her title as ‘wife' and ‘mom' to her two small children.

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!The retail industry stands at a crossroads where artificial intelligence threatens to eliminate millions of jobs while simultaneously creating new opportunities—but only for those retailers smart enough to adapt. Rather than competing with AI, forward-thinking executives are discovering how to amplify human skills like negotiation, empathy, and conflict resolution in collaboration with technology. Join Shelley and Kevin Finnegan from Global Recruiters of Lowcountry as they expose a new reality: 59 percent of retail workforces will require retraining by 2030, and ironically, AI may be the solution for upskilling employees. They also tackle how companies implementing return to office (RTO) policies without understanding underlying cultural shifts are discovering that younger workers simply won't tolerate mandates—they'll just leave and find new jobs instead with a 14 percent spike in employee turnover. While physical stores remain the ultimate competitive advantage, most retailers are treating their retail associates as expense lines rather than revenue-generating assets capable of creating memorable customer experiences. The future belongs to retailers who can humanize their brand experience with an upskilled workforce while leveraging technology strategically.

Celebrate National Trails Day in the Carolinas: Explore Nature and Community National Trails Day, celebrated on the first Saturday of June each year, is the perfect opportunity to get outdoors, connect with nature, and explore the scenic beauty of the Carolinas. North and South Carolina are home to hundreds of miles of diverse trails that wind through breathtaking mountain ranges, serene coastal paths, and vibrant urban greenways. Whether you're an avid hiker, mountain biker, or casual walker, National Trails Day is a great reason to enjoy the natural beauty that makes the Carolinas a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Organized by the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day encourages people across the country to support and protect trail systems. In the Carolinas, this day often includes guided hikes, trail cleanups, educational events, and community volunteer efforts. From the rugged trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the peaceful Lowcountry marsh paths, there's something for everyone to experience. In North Carolina, popular trails such as the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, the Appalachian Trail near Hot Springs, and the greenways of Raleigh and Charlotte host events for all ages. In South Carolina, check out Table Rock State Park, Congaree National Park, and the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville—each offering scenic hikes and organized activities for National Trails Day. One connection to both states is the Carolina Thread Trail that helps connect the Charlotte-metro region. This is also the home base to local outdoor store, Jesse Brown's. They continue to promote activity on trails through sponsorship of the Carolina Outdoors Radio Program & Podcast. Participating in these events helps promote conservation and trail maintenance. Many organizations, including local land trusts and state park systems, use this day to engage communities in stewardship. It's also a wonderful way to meet fellow outdoor lovers, learn about regional wildlife, and discover hidden gems right in your backyard. To make the most of National Trails Day in the Carolinas, wear comfortable footwear, bring water, and don't forget your sunscreen and bug spray. Most importantly, leave no trace—pack out everything you bring in and respect wildlife and trail rules. Looking to get involved? Visit local park websites or the American Hiking Society's event finder to locate nearby events. Many towns across the Carolinas host group hikes, nature walks, and volunteer opportunities. Whether you're trekking up a mountain or strolling along a river, celebrating National Trails Day in the Carolinas is a chance to reconnect with nature, support sustainable recreation, and celebrate the beauty of the trails that bring us together. Make it a tradition and discover a new trail every year!
Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes William Sewell. William, an only child, is from the Lowcountry of South Carolina where apparently "anything goes" in family court, just like everywhere else in this country and GLOBALLY. William highlighted the corruption going on in his case where he and his ex agreed to coparent their only child after the divorce....until an attorney got involved. Showing the patterns of corruption in the courts beautifully, William explained not only the corruption, but the collusion revolving around Attorney Donnie Gamache. Gamache, who happens to know everybody from the third-party parasites Guardian ad Litems (GAL), to CPS. Another bad actor is the third-party parasite GAL, Jason Wheeler, who William is being extorted to pay a $25,000.00 fee cap, which enables Wheeler to be part of the hearing....Or William may go to jail. Lying, perjury and child psychological abuse is allowed in the family courts and William's case has fallen prey to the bad actors allowing it, such as Judge M. Kimmons. The obstruction of justice, witness tampering and trying to obtain 50/50 custody of his only child has now forced him into poverty...And the precarious position of self representation and possibility of incarceration. Having court this Monday, 6-9-2025, William is questioning if he may go to jail if he can't pay the GAL's extortion fee.
