Welcome to the Capacity Conversations Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis. Based on five pillars, we talk about how to create flow in each area, without ever having to sacrifice yourself, your family, and what matters most to you. The five pillars are: 1. Heart Flow - Relationships, Values & Boundaries 2. Work Flow - Growth, Fulfillment & Balance 3. Health Flow - Mental, Emotional & Physical 4. Cash Flow - Mindset, Habits & Legacy 5. Faith Flow - Foundation & Functioning

In today’s episode “When God Calls You to Move” I talk with special guest, Faith Coach, Genisia Green. As a Faith Coach, she teaches women how to move from fear to faith in order to walk in their God-given purpose. After moving across the country twice and quitting corporate America to start several successful businesses, Genisia has learned the art of opening doors by faith. In this episode we talk about how it feels when you walk in obedience, including how it:
- Can be easier said than done
- Requires getting out of your comfort zone
- Comes with fear and resistance

Welcome to the Flow and Flourish Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives.

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.
Healing is one of those new buzz words, like work-life balance… but it’s necessary for both personal and professional success. And healing from trauma specifically, is especially necessary. Many of us are walking around with unhealed trauma and don’t even realize how its affecting our relationships, energy and money.
That’s exactly why in today’s episode, I talk with licensed psychologist, Dr. Lauren Smith. She is helping us and the communities around her do the work to heal from trauma. As a clinical psychologist, her expertise is in trauma-informed services, and she uses it at her consulting firm, Creating Healing Interventions (C.H.I.) and throughout the community to equip people with the knowledge to support healing and wellness within themselves and others.
In this episode, Lauren shares the definition of trauma, how trauma shows up, reasons why we don’t seek help, and ways to find the help you need.
Examples of Trauma:
- Hearing traumatic stories
- Bullying
- Covid19
- Domestic Violence
Tips to Find the Help you Need:
- Interview your providers
- Do your research for cultural fit
- Check their reviews
- Take the lead in your health

EP 70 - Sandra Ocasio: Reclaiming Your Identity
Saturday May 14, 2022
Saturday May 14, 2022
Welcome to the Flow and Flourish Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.
Have you ever had back to back changes in your personal and professional life? Did you power through the changes because that’s what you’re used to doing? Of course you have! I asked those questions because on the other side of those changes, many of us struggle with something called identity loss, but we don’t exactly call it that.
Identity loss happens when you experience dramatic life changes such as losing social relationships (think pandemic/isolation and losing loved ones), losing a job (again, pandemic) and in general when you lose your sense of self and self-with due to all the changes.
In today’s episode, I talk with Sandra Ocasio about her experience with identity loss. After moving from Las Vegas to a small town in Florida in 2016 due to her husband’s role in the military, Sandra thought she was losing her mind but she really lost her identity. She goes in to detail to help us understand:
- What identity loss looks and feels like
- Some of the triggers or symptoms
- How to reclaim your identity
She graciously shares what she calls the S.T.E.P.U.P. Method and how she used it to rebuild her life as a Digital Launch Coach who now helps coaches launch five and six figure coaching programs.
STEP UP Method:
S - Self Awareness
T - Therapy for Trauma
E - Expand your Mindset
P - Personal Development
U - Upgrade your Vision
P - Pursue Purpose w/Unshakable Passion
