OverviewHanah Salas is the magic mama of three littles; an energy worker and maker, she is the founder of the first and only CBD wellness company that offers sliding scale pricing on its goods: Open Apothecary/Magic Mama Co.! She started consciously making herbal remedies when she was pregnant with her first child, out of the need to use healthy, natural, safe products for her whole family. Then her mom was diagnosed with Lyme disease and fibromyalgia, while at the same time, one of her twin daughters was born with a heart defect. Her intentions and need to create stronger, more magical remedies was born. She started infusing her products with more love; Reiki, prayers, and high vibrations to aid in healing. Her goal now is to make these products more accessible and affordable. The more she sells on her platform, the more she is able to donate products and services to those in need who cannot afford it.Key links mentioned in this episode:Open Apothecary/Magic Mama Co.Buenqamino/Christina Kantzavelos on UP (Episode 119)Brujitxs del Barrio Collective@magicmamaco on Instagram@openapothecary on InstagramLauren's favorite products:CBD Salve 150mgCBD 50mg Pain Bath BombTune in as Hanah shares:* how and why she first started creating natural products* that her mom likely contracted Lyme disease as a child, and was diagnosed with late-stage Lyme when Hanah herself was an adult* that the one natural remedy that gave her mom any relief from the chronic pain she experienced was cannabis* how complex it was for her mother to get her Lyme diagnosis* that her mom had over 50 diagnoses and was on multiple prescription drugs before being diagnosed with Lyme* how her mom struggled to receive pain medication — and later ended up with opioid addiction* how CBD helped Hanah's mom, and also contributed to Hanah's product line* how Hanah has built her business with ethics at the forefront — giving away certain plant medicines to those in need, as well as teaching Reiki and sharing her expertise for free* how her mom's treatments hit her family financially — and why it's so important for her that her products be accessible* why she believes that healing — and access to said healing — are our birthrights* what Reiki is, and how accessible it can be as a healing modality* why she also began to access the Akashic records, and how it helped with her daughter's healing* why she prioritizes BIPOC, indigenous, and LGBTQIA+ clients in her business* why she formed a collective to support communities most impacted by historical underrepresentation and marginalization in her healing work* the importance of addressing grief and trauma in healing work Get full access to Uninvisible Pod at uninvisiblepod.substack.com/subscribe

Welcome to another episode of Movies that Make Us! It's the start of a whole new month, so it's time for Staff Picks. This time we wanted to talk about Soundtracks and Scores. Film scores were traditionally performed by orchestras, and many still are, but today a film score might feature all manner of sounds and instruments. A film soundtrack is more a selection of songs chosen to be featured in a film.Val selected Up from Disney/Pixar, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with its diverse hip-hop soundtrack, and Creed, one of her modern favorites. Tracy suggests the 2006 film The Fountain, went back to his childhood for Rocky 4, and the movie Garden State with Natalie Portman. Jake chose The Lord of the Rings trilogy composed by the great Howard Shore, Tom Hanks' first directed film That Thing You Do, and The Wedding Singer.What are your thoughts on these picks?

Twins talk it Up Episode 53: Leading a Campaign to rename the MVP Each year, the Week of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game is kicked off by events leading up to the All-Star Game between the American League and National League. The week includes entertainment, an All-Star Futures game, a Celebrity softball game and the highly anticipated Home Run Derby. Perhaps what fans enjoy most are the stories that surround the game of baseball itself. We all look for those stories- stories that inspire and go beyond the game itself. One of the stories you may hear is one that surrounds the naming of the game's MVP. The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award is annually given to one outstanding player in the American League and one in the National League. In this episode, we are pleased to be joined by the great grandson of the legendary baseball player Josh Gibson. Sean Gibson is the Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing academic and athletic programs for youths to discover and reach their potential. Sean is also leading a campaign to rename the MVP in honor of his great grandfather. His great grandfather like so many was denied an opportunity to play in the Major Leagues. Sean shares some of the incredible stories surrounding his great grandfather, the Negro Leagues and icons of the great game itself. Word is that 3 names are being considered for this honor: Frank Robinson (only player to win the MVP for both Leagues), former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey (who signed Jackie Robinson) and Josh Gibson. It's uncertain when a decision will be made on the renaming of the MVP, but you can join the campaign, sign the petition and stay involved. Enjoy the All Star week and the amazing stories surrounding 'America's Pastime'.

Steve and Jim share about their journey from attending Howard University to the NFL Network. We also learn about some of their more memorable Huddle and Flow interviews. This reflects their ability to bring in great guests and draw out amazing stories. We dive into hearing their thoughts about diversity in the NFL, including the hiring of coaches, Black quarterbacks and the executive leadership of the NFL franchises. We can focus on the number of minorities who are hired as head coaches, and yet not look at the diversity in ownership and senior leadership. We also discuss the role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and how leaders like Deion Sanders and Eddie George can bring more visibility and focus to HBCU programs. The health pandemic affected certainly impacted the talent from the FCS being drafted.

Twins talk it Up Episode 51: Empathetic Leadership So much has changed over the years as far as technology goes and the advancement of medicine; but the best tool for any physician may be that of empathy. In this episode, we welcome Dr. Melissa Li-Ng to share about the importance of empathetic leadership. Dr. Li-Ng is the Medical Director of International Operations at the Cleveland Clinic. She is also a Public Speaker and has spoken around the world. Dr. Li-Ng not only defines what empathy is but she shares with us about why is it so important for today's organizations? As a leader you need to also understand context - where others are coming from including their situation, history, environment and experiences. Without empathy, you can command tasks but you cannot change hearts and minds. Dr. Li-Ng speaks about the importance of self-care and how without self-care, the empathetic leader will eventually burnout. She also states how leaders need to be authentic in expressing their concern and care for their people. Empathy is expressed not just with words but also with listening and with action. Although empathy can be an innate trait, it can also be learned. Appreciate Dr. Li-Ng's encouragement for organizations to invest in leadership training and training around empathy. There are incredible costs and benefits for embracing a culture of empathy and for making training a part of their overall strategy. Listen for the correlation she makes of empathetic leadership impacting revenue.

Twins talk it Up Episode 51: Empathetic Leadership So much has changed over the years as far as technology goes and the advancement of medicine; but the best tool for any physician may be that of empathy. In this episode, we welcome Dr. Melissa Li-Ng to share about the importance of empathetic leadership. Dr. Li-Ng is the Medical Director of International Operations at the Cleveland Clinic. She is also a Public Speaker and has spoken around the world. Dr. Li-Ng not only defines what empathy is but she shares with us about why is it so important for today's organizations? As a leader you need to also understand context - where others are coming from including their situation, history, environment and experiences. Without empathy, you can command tasks but you cannot change hearts and minds. Dr. Li-Ng speaks about the importance of self-care and how without self-care, the empathetic leader will eventually burnout. She also states how leaders need to be authentic in expressing their concern and care for their people. Empathy is expressed not just with words but also with listening and with action. Although empathy can be an innate trait, it can also be learned. Appreciate Dr. Li-Ng's encouragement for organizations to invest in leadership training and training around empathy. There are incredible costs and benefits for embracing a culture of empathy and for making training a part of their overall strategy. Listen for the correlation she makes of empathetic leadership impacting revenue.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 50: Naked Coaching What does it mean to be 'comfortable in your own skin'? How can being naked and exposed help you grow professionally? Now that your curiosity has been piqued, listen in on our conversation with Dr. Pat Williams about the importance of coaching, vulnerability and confidence in working with an executive coach. Dr. Pat Williams is a Master Certified Coach and a pioneer in the world of Coaching as he was one of the founding members of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). He founded additional organizations: The Institute for Life Coach Training; and Coaching the Global Village, an initiative to bring coaching methodologies to villages in developing countries and to leaders of non-profits and the nongovernmental organizations who serve them. Pat is also a member of the Forbes Coaching Council, is a much sought after speaker and an author/co-author of multiple books. We dig into his book, ‘Getting Naked: Emotional Transparency with the Right Person at the Right Time, in the Right Place'. He creatively uses imagery to convey that being comfortable with emotional nakedness (and not physical nakedness) is where transparency and vulnerability with the right people and at the right times can lead to an increase in self-awareness and magnificent opportunities for growth. Dr. Pat believes that great coaching is about 'discovery' as the partnership of coaching is to help unlock and help the professional answer the question of 'who are you' and stepping into what they want and into the unknown. We ask about his chapter entitled '50 shades of play' and ask him to share about the 6-step process or the tool of naked self-disclosure. These steps include: Recall, Reflect, Reveal (on paper), Reveal (to others), Reboot and Restart.

Twins talk it Up Episode 49: Caring Leadership In this Twins Talk it Up episode, we welcome Heather Younger to share her thoughts on the topic of caring leadership. Heather is an international speaker, the founder of Employee Fanatix, the host of the Leadership with Heart podcast and the author of the book, The Art of Caring Leadership: How Leading With Heart Uplifts Teams and Organizations. Heather shared that it was the 'end-user' who determines if the leader truly cares. You cannot have caring leadership without a certain level of vulnerability, transparency and authenticity. She also stated that we can even "authentically be a jerk". This is why self awareness is so important. Leaders that are people focused and heart focused, foster a culture of listening. Caring leadership engages the workforce and is about action - action that is consistent and shows kindness to those we lead. Heather also provided some insight into the ROI of caring leadership. You can measure caring leadership and in her book, Heather highlights 9 of the most common behaviors demonstrated by caring leaders. Be a caring leader and see the impact on your organization.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 48: Introverted Leadership Do extroverts, introverts or ambiverts make the best leaders? Are we referring to personality types or to energy types? You may be surprised to learn what we individually claim to be more aligned with. We welcome Godwin Chan, a fellow podcaster and self-professed introvert to the program. Godwin is the host of the Digital Introverts Podcast, where introverts share their success and failure stories and discuss how they thrive in the digital age. He is also the author of a book entitled, "Digital Introverts: Why Today's Most Successful Individuals Harness Introversion to Thrive". We ask Godwin to define the terms extrovert, introvert and ambivert, and to share which has the advantage when it comes to leadership within our organizations. Are there any specific advantages that those who are more aligned as introverts have? How does culture and our society factor into this, and can we welcome diversity of thought? We also ask Godwin to share some of his thoughts on working with those who lean more toward introversion. Learning to be comfortable with silence and sharing appreciation can go a long way with creating a dynamic team. ----more---- If you are looking to learn the art of audience engagement while listening for methods to conquer speaking anxiety, deliver persuasive presentations, and close more deals, then this is the podcast for you.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 39: Power of Affirmations In this episode, we speak with James and Becky Zheng. James and Becky are transformation coaches & entrepreneurs who help people live a life of design through education, mentorship, and ministry. James also runs The Morning MindSET Podcast where he shares practical wisdom on how to make proper mind shifts, empowering leaders to accomplish more impact and success in their lives. If you can win the morning, you can seize the day. Special surprise to learn that Becky is also a twin. We ask them to define what affirmatinos are and how they have used these positive statements to shape their own mindset. This habit or daily ritual also led to James starting the Morning MindSET podcast where he provides daily short positive uplifting messages. They talk about the conscious and the subconscious mind and how you can create new beliefs. Creating positive affirmations may be as simple as starting with "I am" statements. Statements such as I am beautiful, I am successful. The key is to connect these statements - these declarations on an emotional level and to say them consistently as if you are already there or that you have already accomplished your goals. The "last 4 letters of the word enthusiasm is iasm which can been seen as I Am Sold Myself." ----more---- If you are looking to learn the art of audience engagement while listening for methods to conquer speaking anxiety, deliver persuasive presentations, and close more deals, then this is the podcast for you.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 36: Build your Brand Right In this episode, we meet with our good friend and fellow Howard University Bison Shala Graham. Shala is a brand strategist, speaker and writer. Shala shares about the importance of having a solid and effective brand. Your brand is your reputation. You have to be aware of your target audience and then manage that reputation while building upon your brand values. Your Brand is the foundation of your marketing. Think about the most valued brands in the world and what makes them so effective. Brands like Google, Amazon and Apple are extremely successful as they know their audience and they stay true to the areas/niches that they specialize in. This allows them to be the right fit and the right solution. Do you know who your audience is and are you firm in your niche? You may not be the right solution for everybody; but for somebody, you are the perfect solution. Shala poses the question of what makes your organization different. Volvo is extremely different than other manufacturers such as Subaru or Honda in the minds of potential buyers and yet they are all cars. Branding changes should only happen when values change and when those you are trying to serve (your audience) change. Remember that it could take years and decades to build a brand - build a company's reputation and yet it can really take just one bad mistake or one instant to tarnish or destroy it. Authentic branding is about trust and your target audience needs to trust you and your organization.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 36: Build your Brand Right In this episode, we meet with our good friend and fellow Howard University Bison Shala Graham. Shala is a brand strategist, speaker and writer. Shala shares about the importance of having a solid and effective brand. Your brand is your reputation. You have to be aware of your target audience and then manage that reputation while building upon your brand values. Your Brand is the foundation of your marketing. Think about the most valued brands in the world and what makes them so effective. Brands like Google, Amazon and Apple are extremely successful as they know their audience and they stay true to the areas/niches that they specialize in. This allows them to be the right fit and the right solution. Do you know who your audience is and are you firm in your niche? You may not be the right solution for everybody; but for somebody, you are the perfect solution. Shala poses the question of what makes your organization different.

Twins Talk it Up Episode 35: Directing the Airways In this episode of Twins Talk it Up, we speak with Katlyn Lovelady. Katlyn is an air traffic controller and also serves in the Air National Guard. Communication skills are vital in the air space. Clarity of speech between Ground Control, the Tower and Aircraft is vital to ensure safety for both crew and the passengers they serve. Regarding intentional listening, Katlyn shared some incredible insight about being able to listen to the silence - that what is not being said can be just as important as what is being said. Having a calm and confident tone also is crucial to the overall success of the mission. As a leader, never let your ego get in the way of the goal. Lives are at stake. While others may only see 'their part', you as the leader must keep your focus on the big picture and communicate the plan. "They want to the plan to succeed as much as you do". Give everyone an opportunity to excel in their role and surprise you. Here are the 3 leadership lessons Katlyn said that she has learned through being an air traffic controller: 1. Say what you mean and mean what you say. 2. If you wouldn't want what you said "played back", then don't say it. 3. Tell the team your plan. Love Katlyn's confidence and the pride she has with being one of the few women in this role. You can do "hard things."

Twins Talk it Up Episode 34: Skale up Your Performance In this episode, we speak with Jake Dunlap, CEO of Skaled Consulting. Skaled Consulting helps sales and marketing professionals as well as organizations scale more efficiently by using technology & consulting. We are grateful that Jake was able to join us despite the challenges due to a loss of power that the majority of the State of Texas was experiencing. Jake shares his thoughts about how the organizations that are thriving are those who pivot quickly to optimize & customize their sales processes and product set. He states that "the companies that are winning, do not hold onto the past. They are focused on what the buyer is doing and on what can I do to sale and get in front of them." The landscape has now changed and sales professionals need to become more proficient in the virtual space and grow in their soft skills such as public speaking and storytelling. In responding to the question of 'virtual fatigue', Jake shared that "every call you have is somebody's first experience with you and your company". You have to first be excited about your position and your product and then you have to be passionate about the buyers you serve. We speak about leveraging platforms and tools that best serve professionals and their organizations; and how vital it is to interact and stay connected with other leaders, prospects and clients. Jake was gracious enough to offer provide a link for a free 60-day trial of Sales Navigator.
