Welcome Season 3

Recorded April 17, 2021(First Released on 4/20 of course!)This episode was sponsored by Micanopy Winery and Countryside VineyardsIt's 4/20 and what are Rhumel and Twanda talking about?  You guessed it, we are talking about weed today, but that's not all! This episode highlights Rhumel's good friend, fellow Famuan and business school colleague, Matthew Bowman. Matt is Wine and Hemp farmer  residing in Micanopy Florida.  Let me tell you... we didn't know how informative and overall awesome this episode would be.  We not only learned of a most amazing and scenic vineyard for a romantic getaway or group retreat, we were also gifted a surprise masterclass on sticking you toe into the pond of growing hemp! Seriously y'all, this episode will set you on your way to getting paid to learn how to become a hemp farmer. Grab a glass of wine and hit play. This is a good one.Matt's  Episode Quotes:It doesn't matter whether you are listening in Raleigh NC or Moscow Russia ....the information y'all put out is useful.  There is no better place than to come to a winery. A winery is the penultimate relaxation, get-away-and-enjoy-yourself spot!I like to say on the CBD side, 'Get  well not high', but recreational cannabis is coming.If you ever have to leave your good government job to grow weed, this is the whole  trick to growing weed ok? One male can ruin the whole crop.It is truly one of the world's incredible plants. The things that it can do for you neurologically, whether you have PTSD, traumatic brain injury or whether you just got a stressful life, right... weed will help.If weed doesn't help, wine will help.This is part of the masters class but this is why your listeners listen, because they get value, they get information they would not get otherwise.Of the 4 Ws, Wine, Weed, Women.... Wads of cash is truly my only drug, That  is my drug of choice.I believe in being unapologetically profit-driven.... you go into business to make money. We  [Black people] tend to wait too late to be a part, in a big way, of any of these new industries. Mentions:Micanopy Wine and Countryside Vineyards22595 US-441, Micanopy, FL 32667-7533, United StatesInstagram: @mattbowmanflFacebook: @floridavineyardWebsite: (South Carolina site)  Bowman VineyardsMatt's Recommendations for where to stay and eat while visiting Micanopy Winery and Countryside Vineyards:url: Herlong Mansion Bed & Breakfasturl: Antonio’s Italian RestaurantStep One for dipping your toe in the pool:url: Minorities for Medical MarijuanaPlease support our podcast:Please rate/review, subscribe and share!!Cashapp:$GirrrlPodcastDonate: PatreonHave a question or topic you want us to talk about?

I'm with HER: Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka focus on Mental Health

Recorded July 21 , 2021You don't need to have hair loss concerns to benefit from this episode. If the hair that grows out of your scalp is naturally kinky, tune in, this is for you.Guest information:Dr. Chesahna Kindred is a board-certified dermatologist, published research author, and national speaker. Soon after graduating from her dermatology residency at Howard University, she became a leading dermatologist at MedStar Health in the Baltimore area. Five years later, she founded Kindred Hair & Skin Center in Columbia, Maryland where she treats people of all ages and ethnicities. Dr. Kindred remains on the cutting-edge of hair loss treatment, performing Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, on a regular basis. Currently, she owns the only dermatology office with a full-service salon that specializes in hair loss.Topic:We invited Dr. Kindred to the show to speak to us about hair loss  from her expertise as a dermatologist. Her medical practice is the first in our country to include a natural hair salon specifically for her hair loss patients. What we learned from Dr. Kindred was so much more than we expected and we loved all of it! In today's episode, we learned about the type of genetic hair loss (CCCA) that most often affects black women, how to identify a hair loss issue,  who to reach out to for help, which hair beliefs are actually myths and how black women in executive positions can help normalize natural hair in the workplace. It was astounding to realize how much we didn't know about a topic that is so dear to us as black women.... our hair.  And if that weren't enough, we got some bonus lessons in the importance of seeking out culture competent physicians for all our health needs.  Guest Quotes:Patients fall through the gaps between what I do medically and what [hair] stylists are trained to do. This [hair salon] was the solution.I need for our culture to be aware that there are now a decent number of culturally competent dermatologists that specialize in hair loss.We will admit that our culture is a little too obsessed with neat edges. As if we all don't know that our hair is curly!The way my hair grows out of my head is professional too!There is data that says that if black patients are cared for by black doctors the patients live longer.You can't pull on hair follicles like a tug of war and call it protective. Every 'protective style' is not so protective. Almost any style can be protective or detrimental.Mentions:GuestInstagram:  @kindredermWebsite and Products: dermamyth.comurl: thecrownact.comPlease support our podcast:Please rate/review, subscribe and share!!Cashapp:$GirrrlPodcastDonate: PatreonHave a question or topic you want us to talk about?

Stop Losing Your HAIR! Conversation with Dermatologist, Dr. Kindred.

Recorded June 20 , 2021In this episode we welcome back guest, Ren Jones of Fitness Jones Training to help us understand how to simplify the process of reaching our fitness goals. To be honest, we needed convincing that simplifying fitness was actually a thing. We were not disappointed.   You HAVE to listen to this episode to get the full comedic effect of the banter between the three of us but I'll let you in on some of the must-have takeaways from this episode.First of all it helps to understand how we tend to think about fitness.  The harder your exercise regimen  sounds the more it will garner support on social media. However, Ren explained that its actually a selection of simple actions  done consistently that ultimately lead to success.  Sounds too good to be true right? I thought so too, but in truth it seems we are wired to get in our own way. Here are some simple tips for getting out of our on way to finding fitness success:1) We tend to think  that starting with extreme exercise routines will produce the results we want, however it most often leads to us getting overwhelmed quitting all together. Tip: Start with a simple task of moving more than you usually do, then when that becomes a habit you can start increasing the intensity. 2) If we spend a lot of time thinking about losing weight, then, when we finally decide to get started, we counterbalance that procrastination with impatience. That leads us to looking for something intense and complex to do for our new exercise routine.Tip: See the tip above.3) We believe we need an extreme diet to see progress. This tends to look like grass smoothies and  water fasts. Tip: Add 4 to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Most importantly, you should eat slowly and stop when you feel full.  4) We quickly get bored when we become accustomed to our fitness routine and begin to look for more complexity as a solution.  Increasing complexity too soon will invariably throw you off track and could create setbacks in your progress.Tip: Don't sacrifice success for novelty. Get a trusted trainer to set, monitor, and adjust your routine as appropriate and then trust the process. Also, see the very first tip.Guest Quotes:We like to brag about the super hard -ish we are doing. Nobody's going to go on social media and brag to say 'I walked for 20 minutes today.' You won't get no likes for that! Simple is not great for social media but it works.We feel like success comes at the hand of difficulty.If you don't understand the process of  what you are doing and how to document progress in it, you will default to difficulty as a means of telling yourself its working.We try to start with the intensity first and build a very, very intense thing into a habit and it just doesn't work that way. It's not a great way to build a habit.We have a mistrust of simplicity in terms of getting us to a goal.A good coach is going to provide an appropriate solution for the population they work with.Everyone does better when they move more.Mentions:GuestInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnessjonestraining/Podcast/Website: fitnessjonestraining.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fitnessjonesurl: Book - Atomic Habitsurl: Book - The Four Agreements url: Book - Emotional Agility Please support our podcast:Please rate/review, subscribe and share!!Cashapp:$GirrrlPodcastDonate: PatreonHave a question or topic you want us to talk about?
