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

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

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.
When we talk about managing our time, we have to learn how to tell the difference between what’s essential and what’s important. If you don’t you’ll keep going in circles and giving your time, energy and resources (aka capacity) to everything and everybody.
In today’s episode, I share with you a few things that will help you manage your capacity and create your ideal work-life balance:
- The difference between essential and important
- Real life examples to help you know the difference
- 5 tips on How to know the difference between the two
5 Tips to help you choose between essential and important:
- Identify your values
- Assess where you’re spending time
- Decide what needs to shift
- Map out where it needs to go moving forward
- Set some boundaries

Branding is something you need whether you know it or not. In fact, you are a walking brand all by yourself. What most don’t realize though, is that there’s so much more to branding than logos, pretty colors and font choices.
In today’s episode, I talk with Aaja Corinne Magee, a Chicago-based branding strategist, messaging specialist, and speaker who helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs and leaders to become the undeniable choice. She specializes in the art of communication, partnering with clients to bring synergy to their purpose and profession, raise their profile, and increase their influence, so that they are positioned to create impact on a greater scale.
She gives all the tea on how to build your brand from the inside out, and shares three tips on how to show up as your authentic self to maximize your brand:
- Find you unique place
- Allow God to use you
- Take inventory

She uses her Certification in Financial Psychology to help the masses get beyond budgets and credit reports and dive into the heart of why we behave the way we do with money.

As an entrepreneur, have you ever heard, if you build it they will come? Welllll… it kinda works like that, but there’s a whole lot more that goes into it. What “they” don’t tell you is about the blood, sweat and tears that go into building a business and pursuing purpose… it ain't’ easy!
In today’s episode, I talk with multi-business owner, Leandra Roche. With over 25 years in the Beauty Industry, Leandra has been promoting, and advocating for healthy hair as a way of life. As a Licensed Cosmetology Instructor, Cosmetologist and Salon owner for over 20 years, she has serviced and dedicated her time to thousands of clients and many budding entrepreneurs.
Not only does Leandra have extraordinary skills in Professional Hair Styling, she also is a Master Educator of Cosmetology, an entrepreneur trailblazer and Team Leader like no other. Training others to do the same is her passion, which led to the creation of her hands-on educational and training course, The Salon Readiness Program. It’s aimed at helping those who want to get in the salon ownership business to be successful and have access to more than just doing hair.
Additionally, Leadra is the creator of the annual networking conference "The Dreamers Conference", which has been around for 6, going on 7 years, and is an event that educates and assists entrepreneurs with the necessary tools and resources to help them to succeed in business.
In this amazing episode, Leandra shares with us how to go from triage to triumph in our personal and professional lives:
How to go from Triage to Triumph
- Practice self awareness
- Speak life at all times
- Reinvent
- Pursue

Free your mind and you a#$ will follow… (I didn’t say it, EnVogue did!), but you know it’s the truth.
Too many of us are running around with what I call “secret struggles”, and battling shame, guilt, low confidence or a combination of them all, when it comes to our past. Whether or we know it or not, unaddressed guilt, shame and trauma can take a toll on our mental, physical, and emotional health, our relationships and our finances… aka take up our capacity and block us from being able to flow and flourish.
That’s exactly why in today’s episode, I talk with Healing Coach, Latoya Mathews, who after years of dealing with shame and guilt, rediscovered the hope and freedom that she now helps other women accept and treasure.
Like the other episodes, get your pen and paper ready because she shares with us her 5 Pillars of Freedom, designed to help you heal, overcome self-doubt, release strongholds, and experience deep freedom from your deepest valleys.
5 Pillars of Freedom
- Peace Making
- Pattern Breaking,

- Permission to Dream
- Power of Habits
She also gives 4 tips to start your healing journey today:
Healing Journey Tips:
- Change your perspective
- Give yourself permission to change
