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

- 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

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.

She also gives 4 tips to start your healing journey today:
Healing Journey Tips:

Confidence is something that I believe enters the room before you take your seat; its an attitude. Often times, things that happen in our personal and/or professional lives can either build or bust that confidence. As we celebrate women who are making history, I wanted to make sure as we kick off the celebration, we learn how to get our confidence together.
In today’s episode, I talk with Confidence Doula, Lynnecia Eley. As a wife, mom, Author, Assistant Dean at the prestigious Georgetown University, CEO of She Can Inspire and co-owner of Two-Queens Media and Soigne + Swank Magazine, she knows a thing or two about confidence. Lynnecia is a problem solver who is committed to teaching and inspiring entrepreneurs and leaders to transform their ideas by using strategies, mindset, confidence, and empowering others to create their own freedoms.
Get your pen and paper ready as she shares with us her six confidence mantras as well as three practical tips you can implement today.
Confidence Mantras:
- I AM AMAZING
- I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO
- I LOVE MYSELF ALWAYS
- I AM A MAGNET TO GREAT THINGS
- I AM GRATEFUL
- I HAVE A PURPOSE
3 Tips You Can Use When Confidence is Missing:
- Fake it
- Take more risk
- Reprogram your default of doubting yourself
