Speaker 1: to get together, collaborate and dominate. I love that. So
8:50
Speaker 1: let's go back to the book because I wanted to
8:51
Speaker 1: just talk about that because I felt it was important,
8:54
Speaker 1: because it was live, it was engagement and you're you're
8:57
Speaker 1: your energy person. And because of the fact that that's
9:00
Speaker 1: what I'm happy to have you on my show, and
9:01
Speaker 1: I definitely want to bring you back if your time permits,
9:04
Speaker 1: because I feel that it's like I said, it's about
9:06
Speaker 1: the brand is by messaging, is by magnetism, which I
9:09
Speaker 1: word I took from her book and and and it's
9:15
Speaker 1: really important that we understand the value of consistency. And
9:18
Speaker 1: that was one of the things I took from the
9:20
Speaker 1: book too, is that you know, if you want to
9:21
Speaker 1: have a brand, you're gonna have all these elements of success.
9:24
Speaker 1: Then you're one of the things that is most important
9:27
Speaker 1: is being consistent with your messaging. And I had to
9:30
Speaker 1: find out about myself and started to find who Rashan
9:33
Speaker 1: McDonald is. And that's what you're saying about yourself, is
9:36
Speaker 1: that you know, Rashan, who you are is equally important
9:39
Speaker 1: as what people know about you. And if they know
9:43
Speaker 1: about you, if they have value associate with that, then
9:46
Speaker 1: they'll spend money. And that's what you're achieving with the
9:48
Speaker 1: CEO Chicks Network. You're saying, there's value there, or come
9:52
Speaker 1: here and we are mentor you were asked questions for
9:55
Speaker 1: you will motivate you and inspire you because you have
9:58
Speaker 1: a home to go where you can ask questions and
10:01
Speaker 1: be not a series of experts, not just one person,
10:05
Speaker 1: but a series of experts. We have to guide you
10:07
Speaker 1: to the next steps of success. Did I said your
10:09
Speaker 1: brain good enough for you? Breakast? You did? You did?
10:12
Speaker 1: And the book it's the bestseller. Yes, it exactly, Yes,
10:16
Speaker 1: because it is it's definitely needed. A lot of times
10:19
Speaker 1: people do not slow down enough. You know, they get
10:22
Speaker 1: an idea, they're excited about it. They look for something
10:25
Speaker 1: cute and hot pink in our cases a lot of
10:28
Speaker 1: women tend to do. All women don't like hot pink,
10:30
Speaker 1: by the way, and then they'll they'll go out there,
10:33
Speaker 1: you know, they go out there, get a business card,
10:35
Speaker 1: get get a quick wick site or whatever the cases,
10:38
Speaker 1: and they're running. They're they're out there. I commend people
10:41
Speaker 1: with with with the boldness and the courage to run,
10:44
Speaker 1: but they have to give it some time. They have
10:47
Speaker 1: to process what is the experience that you are wanting
10:49
Speaker 1: to create, because, as I mentioned in the book, branding
10:52
Speaker 1: is not just what's scene, it's what's felt. So you
10:56
Speaker 1: have to really sit down and say, what experience do
10:59
Speaker 1: I want to create from my customer. That that's the
11:01
Speaker 1: secret sauce that that's what makes you different from your competitors,
11:06
Speaker 1: is that experience that you create. You know, the that's
11:10
Speaker 1: the branding is like the spirit of the organization. It's
11:13
Speaker 1: it's the moral, it's the it's the energy, it's the vibe,
11:17
Speaker 1: it's the you know, it's that thing that just keeps
11:19
Speaker 1: people saying something so different about you. It's just that's
11:22
Speaker 1: the secret, Sauce. It really is a good book, all right,
11:25
Speaker 1: because it's one of those interesting books that you run
11:28
Speaker 1: across because you know, when you had a career like
11:30
Speaker 1: mind on the inter professional environment IBM college educated, I
11:35
Speaker 1: worked to entertainment work with many corporate corporate cinients over
11:39
Speaker 1: the years. She's talking about how you should what you
11:42
Speaker 1: should wear, you know, the popular social media sites and
11:46
Speaker 1: what value each one's bringing to your brand. She talks
11:49
Speaker 1: about you what what the steps of what you what
11:52
Speaker 1: you offer, and descriptions of what that means to your brand.
11:55
Speaker 1: Because it's a book that the word brand is thrown
11:58
Speaker 1: out there a lot and speaking and it's been really
12:01
Speaker 1: abused because a lot of people don't know what you're
12:03
Speaker 1: talking about when they say that. But most importantly, I
12:06
Speaker 1: just wanted to say thank you for coming on my
12:08
Speaker 1: show because of the fact that I need some banners
12:11
Speaker 1: from you, because now that you allow me to read
12:13
Speaker 1: your book, I got to do my job. Okay, and
12:16
Speaker 1: my executive producer. If you ever want to sign some
12:18
Speaker 1: books and send them to me, I'll be clapping to
12:20
Speaker 1: put him in my two thirty fan club mailing lists
12:24
Speaker 1: and offer them to my fans. Absolutely, thank you so
12:27
Speaker 1: much for having me, Rashaan. This was great, and we
12:29
Speaker 1: will be back. And I got a lot of work
12:31
Speaker 1: to do. I got a lot of Brandon to do
12:32
Speaker 1: for you. We'll be right back with more from Marsha
12:40
Speaker 1: McDonald and money making conversations. Don't touch that down. Yeah,
12:44
Speaker 1: we sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a
12:46
Speaker 1: lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me
12:49
Speaker 1: for my credit card debt and I blamed him for
12:51
Speaker 1: building that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming
12:54
Speaker 1: each other. Dinner homework and read that a smart way
12:57
Speaker 1: to consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan.
13:00
Speaker 1: But getting a loan was brutal and a time drain.
13:03
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans
13:06
Speaker 1: and I found best Egg. They have an A plus
13:08
Speaker 1: rating with the B B B and best Egg handles
13:11
Speaker 1: everything online start to finish, and Consumer Affairs gave best
13:14
Speaker 1: egg five stars for their easy online loan app. And
13:17
Speaker 1: we could be approved and funded and as little as
13:19
Speaker 1: one business day. I applied online with no impact my
13:22
Speaker 1: credit score. She always takes credit from my wins. But
13:25
Speaker 1: long story short, she got an awesome loan, paid off
13:28
Speaker 1: our cards and some bills while lowering our monthly payment.
13:32
Speaker 1: The best egg loan was like a total fresh start.

17:39
Speaker 1: already set aside, and then I got to dive into
17:41
Speaker 1: the desserts. You see, And I feel like there's two
17:44
Speaker 1: different types of people for Thanksgiving. It's the people like
17:47
Speaker 1: you that are ready that I'm playing and they're ready
17:49
Speaker 1: to go. And then it's the one panic and like,
17:50
Speaker 1: oh no, what am I supposed to do that? I
17:52
Speaker 1: don't know what to cooking turkey like that. It's two
17:54
Speaker 1: types of people. Okay, you already got your set, so
17:56
Speaker 1: I'm here to help those people that come. That's what
17:58
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, because you know, talk to me. But
18:00
Speaker 1: first before we start talking about that, let's talk about
18:02
Speaker 1: your show, your TV show. I got to see it again.
18:05
Speaker 1: How's everything going where you're excited? Uh? How? Because you
18:08
Speaker 1: were saying digitally or just blowing up on I mean,
18:13
Speaker 1: it's it's such a blessing. I mean it's called Let's
18:15
Speaker 1: Eat and I'm co hosting with two other dynamic hosts,
18:18
Speaker 1: and it's on the Food Network app and you could
18:19
Speaker 1: see it online. So a lot of people are like, oh,
18:22
Speaker 1: I missed the show on TV. I'm like, Nope, You're
18:24
Speaker 1: never gonna miss the show because it's always on your phone.
18:26
Speaker 1: I'm always with you anyway. Time you want to steev
18:29
Speaker 1: and cook with me, I'm right there. So we do
18:31
Speaker 1: all different types of food and we have lots of fun,
18:34
Speaker 1: and we give lots of recipe ideas and tips and
18:36
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So that's why I'm here today. I'm like,
18:39
Speaker 1: I want to give people lots of ideas to to
18:42
Speaker 1: kind of take that stress away from the holidays, because
18:44
Speaker 1: you really should be having a good time with family,
18:46
Speaker 1: not worrying about how are you going to get this
18:47
Speaker 1: done and and cooking and burning stuff like it shouldn't
18:50
Speaker 1: be that type of holiday. It should be a fun time.
18:53
Speaker 1: You know, Well, it's a fun time for people who
18:55
Speaker 1: want to eat. Okay, everybody want to eat good food.
19:00
Speaker 1: Some food. This should be out of people's hands before
19:03
Speaker 1: it's destroyed. And I'm gonna go and say that too.
19:06
Speaker 1: But before we're going to further, I know, I made
19:08
Speaker 1: a commitment to you your brand that I was supported
19:11
Speaker 1: on my social media. Have I been delivering on that absolutely?
19:15
Speaker 1: And I appreciate people like you because you have such
19:18
Speaker 1: a dynamic platform and you extend that out to people,
19:21
Speaker 1: touches myself. So every Wednesday you have been profiling a
19:24
Speaker 1: recipe and it's been such a great response. I mean,
19:26
Speaker 1: people in the comments like, I want to make that.
19:28
Speaker 1: I made that and it turned out great. So I'm
19:30
Speaker 1: so grateful to you for doing that, and you keep
19:33
Speaker 1: your wards so I appreciate well, well, I appreciate you
19:35
Speaker 1: doing it because of the fact that my fansy they're
19:38
Speaker 1: they're curious group, you know, they are opinionated group too,
19:42
Speaker 1: and they want to if they make something, I can
19:44
Speaker 1: make it better. I go cool, don't be challenging me.
19:47
Speaker 1: I'm just putting it out here just to let you
19:49
Speaker 1: know there are people out there who don't know how
19:51
Speaker 1: to cook. And that's what that's that's your role in life.
19:54
Speaker 1: The rolling life is not. They're professional out there. People
19:56
Speaker 1: who think they're professional. You're not gonna change their mind.
19:59
Speaker 1: You know, they got RESI. They don't even pull out
20:02
Speaker 1: a cup or tea spot. They just start making stuff,
20:04
Speaker 1: you know, just they say I love watching some cooking show.
20:08
Speaker 1: They say a half a cup and it just grabs
20:10
Speaker 1: something with their hands, just put in there like that's
20:15
Speaker 1: just cooking with instincts. You can't really teach that. It's
20:18
Speaker 1: just a gut feeling, you gotta know. But everybody doesn't
20:21
Speaker 1: have that. So for the people that don't have it,
20:22
Speaker 1: they have to follow a recipe. That's okay too. You
20:25
Speaker 1: can get your tea spoons and measuring cups and you
20:27
Speaker 1: can flow right along with us. And you know, our
20:29
Speaker 1: relationship is a long term because we met when I was,
20:32
Speaker 1: you know, running into the co created Steve Harden Morning
20:35
Speaker 1: Show with Steve Harvey and I was executive producer and uh,
20:38
Speaker 1: I used to come over there and because here's your phone,
20:40
Speaker 1: we had to deal with her phone and used to
20:43
Speaker 1: make the recipes. Now at the time, where were you
20:45
Speaker 1: in transitioning because of the fact that I knew you
20:48
Speaker 1: was had had a corporate job. So what I want
20:51
Speaker 1: to just talk about a little bit about that too,
20:53
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are sitting and listening to
20:56
Speaker 1: the show trying to make decisions, afraid to make decisions
20:59
Speaker 1: about what they really want to do versus what they're
21:01
Speaker 1: actually doing currently. How did you make that decision? Well,
21:05
Speaker 1: and you know what I think for anybody listening, if
21:07
Speaker 1: you're wondering, like should I do this? Can I do this?
21:10
Speaker 1: This is the best time to do that In twenty nineteen,
21:13
Speaker 1: I encouraging everybody to take that leap of faith because
21:16
Speaker 1: it wasn't and it's not easy for anybody. It definitely
21:18
Speaker 1: wasn't easy for me. I mean I started. I had
21:20
Speaker 1: my degree in marketing, and I thought that's what I
21:22
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But i found myself going to a
21:24
Speaker 1: job every day and I'm like, this is not this
21:26
Speaker 1: can't be the rest of my life. I'm not being fulfilled.
21:29
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a desk. This it's not my purpose.
21:31
Speaker 1: And I wasn't really sure what I fully wanted to do.
21:33
Speaker 1: And I definitely wasn't thinking about being on television. I
21:36
Speaker 1: just knew that that wasn't the right place for me.
21:39
Speaker 1: And when they started laying people off because businesses started
21:41
Speaker 1: going crazy, and it was like, this is your moment.
21:44
Speaker 1: They were like, we can demote you and you can stay,
21:47
Speaker 1: or you can just just take your papers and go.
21:50
Speaker 1: And I'm the only person in the office that was
21:52
Speaker 1: that raised my hand, was like, let me go, And
21:54
Speaker 1: in that moment, I wasn't. I still wasn't sure. And
21:56
Speaker 1: you don't have to have a one of the plan.
21:58
Speaker 1: You just got to start walking by faith, because you
22:01
Speaker 1: know what you're capable of. You know that if you
22:03
Speaker 1: you want to be a chelf or you want to
22:04
Speaker 1: be a cook, you know what your talent, you know
22:06
Speaker 1: what you're good at, and that's what you're supposed to pursue.
22:09
Speaker 1: You really should be happy every day about what you're doing.
22:12
Speaker 1: Me right now, I am living the dream. I mean,
22:15
Speaker 1: I started my own business um as a personal chef
22:17
Speaker 1: and a caterer, and transition that into auditioning for reality
22:21
Speaker 1: TV shows on on the Food Network and just doing
22:25
Speaker 1: those those things you never know where they're gonna take you.
22:27
Speaker 1: And from that, I mean years later, I'm still on
22:30
Speaker 1: television and now I'm doing bigger and better things, appearing
22:33
Speaker 1: on daytime talk shows. I'm gonna be on Good Morning
22:35
Speaker 1: America on Thursday, cooking for Thanksgiving. That there's nowhere on
22:42
Speaker 1: my paper here about. I just slipped that in because
22:45
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited because it's blessings like that. I'm like,
22:48
Speaker 1: that is one of my dream morning shows. And then
22:50
Speaker 1: to get an email like we want you to come
22:52
Speaker 1: cook for Thanksgiving and you can't write that, you can't,
22:54
Speaker 1: you can't plan that that is just being a part
22:57
Speaker 1: of the process and walking in faith and you just
22:59
Speaker 1: got to see where God hates you. And that's really
23:01
Speaker 1: how I ended up where I am. We're good. Let's
23:02
Speaker 1: talk about what you're gonna make on the Good Morning
23:04
Speaker 1: America Thanksgiving Thursday. What are you gonna make one good morning? Well,
23:09
Speaker 1: the thing is where I really want I'm I'm calling
23:12
Speaker 1: myself the chef Tom. I am your non one one
23:15
Speaker 1: survival guide, and like it's really about people that, like
23:18
Speaker 1: I said, that wanted that start to panic and it
23:20
Speaker 1: could be a lot of pressure, especially if this is
23:22
Speaker 1: your first time cooking for something. You've got a lot
23:24
Speaker 1: of family coming over and you're like you're starting to
23:26
Speaker 1: feel that anxiety of oh, I don't want to ruin this,
23:29
Speaker 1: so you want to pull it off. So that's really
23:30
Speaker 1: what I'm here to kind of put people at ease
23:32
Speaker 1: and let you know it's okay. It's just a turkey.
23:35
Speaker 1: He can't beat you. Like you can do this. But
23:38
Speaker 1: it's really about getting everything in order. So you got it,
23:41
Speaker 1: And I call it the three piece. We're gonna plan,
23:44
Speaker 1: We're gonna prep, and then it's time to party, y'all.
23:46
Speaker 1: That's really what it is. And it's Monday, so you
23:50
Speaker 1: should already have your checklist. You should have already gone
23:52
Speaker 1: shopping and making sure that everything is in place so
23:55
Speaker 1: that the last minute you're not sending somebody to the
23:57
Speaker 1: store like, oh, go give me some sugars, go give
23:59
Speaker 1: me some flower Like if you're doing that, you're it's
24:01
Speaker 1: going to start to fall apart. You better be ready
24:03
Speaker 1: to rock and roll now. Now I was looking at
24:06
Speaker 1: the sweet potato bread pudding. Now I'm gonna tell you
24:12
Speaker 1: I do the I do a raising bread pudding and
24:15
Speaker 1: I do a sweet potato pie. Okay, it seems like
24:18
Speaker 1: you put those together without the raisins. It's the most
24:21
Speaker 1: amazing dessert because it's like a sweep potato pie meet
24:25
Speaker 1: your Grandma's bread pudding. And you can do pumpkin in
24:27
Speaker 1: that too, if you if you're a pumpkin person, you
24:30
Speaker 1: know it's a battle of sweetato in the pumpkins on
24:32
Speaker 1: where you live? What you can you walk me through
24:38
Speaker 1: that step because you know I'm putting my my cheff
24:42
Speaker 1: of Sean had on, you know. Okay, Okay, we do that.
24:46
Speaker 1: Like I said, I know how to do the sweet
24:48
Speaker 1: potato pie. I know how to do that, because I
24:50
Speaker 1: can make a sweep pie for my staff tomorrow, and
24:53
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the raising bread putting. Tell me how's
24:56
Speaker 1: that done? How do you make that? Well, you're gonna
24:58
Speaker 1: start with You're gonna peel and dice about a pound
25:01
Speaker 1: of sweet potatoes and you can boil them off just
25:03
Speaker 1: to get them for tender. If I'm in a rush,
25:05
Speaker 1: I even pop them in the microwave for about six
25:07
Speaker 1: to eight minutes just to get them. And you're gonna
25:10
Speaker 1: leave the swep potatoes there, and then you're gonna start
25:12
Speaker 1: in your bread pudding. So you can use the day
25:13
Speaker 1: old bread, a French bread, Italian bread, any type of
25:16
Speaker 1: crusty bread that you have thick cut and you'll do
25:18
Speaker 1: it maybe about six to eight cups of that, and
25:20
Speaker 1: then you start with the bread pudding parts. You know,
25:22
Speaker 1: you've got to have your milk in there. We can
25:25
Speaker 1: do sugar. I do sweet condensed milk, sweeten. So I
25:28
Speaker 1: mean I'm cinnamons. And you know what my secret is.
25:30
Speaker 1: Everybody write this down. It is freshly graded nutmeg, not
25:35
Speaker 1: just the one you shake out of there. You take
25:36
Speaker 1: that microplane, you you get that nutmeg and you greated
25:39
Speaker 1: across the top. That is what's going to take your
25:42
Speaker 1: bread pudding to the next level where people are like,
25:44
Speaker 1: what is that? Because it's just so distinct in that flavor.
25:47
Speaker 1: You're gonna combine the sweet potatoes with your bread and
25:50
Speaker 1: all your milk and your sugar and everything, and soak
25:52
Speaker 1: that in there for about thirty minutes, and you're gonna
25:55
Speaker 1: break baking in your baking dish the same way you
25:57
Speaker 1: would do your regular bread pudding. And the sea potato
26:00
Speaker 1: just adds a little bit of color, a little bit
26:02
Speaker 1: of flair, a little more texture, a little more sweetness
26:04
Speaker 1: to it, and you're baking off any other oven until
26:06
Speaker 1: it is beautiful golden brown. And you know it's ready
26:09
Speaker 1: because the whole house smells just like heaven. I mean,
26:12
Speaker 1: it is just bubbling delicious. And I love to top
26:14
Speaker 1: it off. I put a little bourbon in mind if
26:17
Speaker 1: you want to kick it up and droll and now
26:20
Speaker 1: we can. You gotta warm people. Don't let the kids
26:23
Speaker 1: get in this, but I do it. At the end.

26:59
Speaker 1: we sort of stop paying attention and racked up a
27:01
Speaker 1: lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me
27:04
Speaker 1: for my credit card debt and I blamed him for
27:06
Speaker 1: building that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming
27:10
Speaker 1: each other, did our homework and read that a smart
27:12
Speaker 1: way to consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan.
27:15
Speaker 1: But getting a loan was brutal and a time drain.
27:18
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans
27:21
Speaker 1: and I found best Egg. They have an A plus
27:23

27:40
Speaker 1: But long story short, she got an awesome loan paid

Speaker 1: because that was the story of the book. Because the
31:28
Speaker 1: book is about the front part of the book is
31:30
Speaker 1: about your journey that the back part of the book
31:33
Speaker 1: is about how you can lose weight and you're motivating people.
31:36
Speaker 1: You have a little area back in the book where
31:37
Speaker 1: you can pick notes and all those things. Correct. Yes,
31:41
Speaker 1: but the book is the book starts where see the
31:46
Speaker 1: whole point of the book to weight W E I
31:48
Speaker 1: G H. It's not just about weight loss. It's about
31:53
Speaker 1: the weight of the pressure as well as women that
31:57
Speaker 1: we have to endure on a day to day basis,
32:00
Speaker 1: as far as being mother's wives, um you know, if
32:03
Speaker 1: we're caregivers, sisters, spree and you know all of the
32:07
Speaker 1: different um TETs that we have to have to win
32:10
Speaker 1: on a day to day basis, and the pressure was
32:13
Speaker 1: having to be beautiful and flawless in the face of
32:16
Speaker 1: all of them, which is not really realistic at the
32:19
Speaker 1: end of the day. So there's the dilemma there. There
32:23
Speaker 1: imposes the dilemma of having to be perfect in the
32:26
Speaker 1: public eye and societal in society's eye, when that's not
32:30
Speaker 1: even achievable. Perfection is just not a cheapable So um.
32:34
Speaker 1: The book starts off with body image and how those
32:39
Speaker 1: negative seeds of me growing up as a young girl
32:42
Speaker 1: were planted and how they festered, and how it distorted
32:45
Speaker 1: my perception of what I should look like and who
32:48
Speaker 1: I should you know, who I should be. But then later,
32:51
Speaker 1: you know, after going through all the things that I
32:54
Speaker 1: had to go through, which was really learning all the
32:56
Speaker 1: lessons that I needed to learn. I was through all
33:00
Speaker 1: of the smoke, the blue smoke and mirrors and kind
33:02
Speaker 1: of find myself and kind of find where I'm supposed
33:05
Speaker 1: to be and how I can use that pressure in
33:09
Speaker 1: my life as a negative as a positive way. And
33:12
Speaker 1: you are in life, you know. So it's that's the
33:15
Speaker 1: self help, you know, just taking a negative and turning
33:19
Speaker 1: it into a triumph. Well, the thing about it I
33:23
Speaker 1: liked about the book is that and not that, And
33:25
Speaker 1: I don't never say I like something just to be
33:27
Speaker 1: liking it, you know, because I have you on the show,
33:30
Speaker 1: because I'm a fan of you, of yours, and then
33:32
Speaker 1: also when you had this book, you know, the thing
33:35
Speaker 1: that caught me off was that it is it's a
33:37
Speaker 1: motivational book, because I think that you have to share
33:41
Speaker 1: a part of your life for people to understand when
33:43
Speaker 1: you're giving advice, it's coming from an honest place. And
33:45
Speaker 1: that's what you get from this book. It's coming from
33:47
Speaker 1: an honest place. And exactly the reason I say that,
33:50
Speaker 1: because I'm just talking about disable complix, which I don't
33:53
Speaker 1: do is give away the book. I want you to
33:54
Speaker 1: buy this book. It's a very good book, and she
33:57
Speaker 1: broke it down the daughter, the athlete, artists to celebrity,
34:01
Speaker 1: the wife, the mother, the fighter, the woman to conquer
34:04
Speaker 1: up and each one of these titles define a very
34:07
Speaker 1: important role in your life, which I think that if
34:09
Speaker 1: you're a reader, if you're a reader of this book,
34:13
Speaker 1: you will find yourself in one of these chapters. Am
34:16
Speaker 1: I correct? Absolutely? Absolutely, And that was the whole purpose
34:21
Speaker 1: of breaking it down that way, because there are different
34:24
Speaker 1: stages that we have in life, and we're not one dimensional.
34:27
Speaker 1: People are not one dimensional. You know, there are plays,
34:29
Speaker 1: there are lots, There are a lot of different fascists
34:32
Speaker 1: to to us as human beings, and I think that
34:35
Speaker 1: it we need to to point out the fact that
34:38
Speaker 1: we have to operate from different fascists of who we
34:40
Speaker 1: are at all, sometimes at the same time, and that
34:44
Speaker 1: can be very stressful. And I think that one of
34:48
Speaker 1: the ways to kind of sit through that is to
34:51
Speaker 1: buy is to be, is to be able to identify
34:53
Speaker 1: what those different characteristics are. You know, the interesting thing
34:59
Speaker 1: interesting things of out your book. This is the thing
35:01
Speaker 1: about your book is that you know the number one
35:04
Speaker 1: thing is said, don't ever ask a woman her weight, Okay,
35:08
Speaker 1: and you have no problems that you know in your book.
35:12
Speaker 1: You know you talk about weight at different important moments
35:15
Speaker 1: in your life. Now, why is that important? And because
35:22
Speaker 1: because I know why. But I just went from a
35:25
Speaker 1: listeners standpoint, from a potential readers standpoint. Why did you
35:28
Speaker 1: expose yourself like that in this book? Well, because I'm
35:33
Speaker 1: not ashamed of who I am or afraid of who
35:35
Speaker 1: I am. And being that I have a bachelor's degree
35:38
Speaker 1: in nutrition science, I understand the difference between being my body,
35:43
Speaker 1: body weight, the scale, the measuring case. All that is romantic.
35:49
Speaker 1: It's really about how you feel in your hip to
35:51
Speaker 1: waste ratio that's going to determine your health. Your waistline,
35:55
Speaker 1: how big is your waistline? And I know with black women,
35:58
Speaker 1: most of us are shaped while our waistlines are smaller
36:01
Speaker 1: than our hips. And if you just if you determine
36:04
Speaker 1: um your body size and type based on weight, which
36:07
Speaker 1: can actually you can easily be a hundred and fifty
36:10
Speaker 1: five pounds and be in tip top shape at five four,
36:13
Speaker 1: but according to societal standards, that's overweight. So I have
36:18
Speaker 1: no problem, you know, talking about how much I weigh
36:20
Speaker 1: because it's good for my size. I know that my
36:23
Speaker 1: height and weight are good, you know, and I'm very
36:26
Speaker 1: very healthy. I can outrun most I work out five
36:29
Speaker 1: six days a week, and I eat right, so I
36:32
Speaker 1: know that I'm healthy. I'm not ashamed of my body.
36:34
Speaker 1: And that's something that I had to come into because
36:37
Speaker 1: that wasn't always the case. I wasn't always the case,
36:41
Speaker 1: so I had to learn that. You know, we all
36:44
Speaker 1: come in different shapes and sizes, and just because you're
36:47
Speaker 1: very thin doesn't mean that you're healthy. And so my
36:50
Speaker 1: goal is to be healthy and happy and so whatever
36:53
Speaker 1: that is and whatever that looks like, I'm okay. And
36:57
Speaker 1: you definitely have found it in this book and a
36:59
Speaker 1: book I'm talking about. The weight is over Weight is
37:02
Speaker 1: spelled w E I G H T is over My
37:05
Speaker 1: journey to Loving my body from the outside end and
37:09
Speaker 1: forewords by my bar Michael Eric Dyson. And we all
37:12
Speaker 1: know he can talk and he's and something to say.
37:15
Speaker 1: Now I got you for another break, but I wanted
37:18
Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, relationship, the importance of your
37:21
Speaker 1: husband and your life to support the anchor, you know,
37:24
Speaker 1: and I know the importance of having an anchor in
37:26
Speaker 1: my life because of the fact that when things are bad,
37:29
Speaker 1: you really need somebody you can turn to. Okay, even
37:32
Speaker 1: when these are good, you need somebody you can turn
37:34
Speaker 1: to and share it because they've been on that journey,
37:38
Speaker 1: they up and down journey. Just give us some of
37:40
Speaker 1: some some great things about your husband, you know, on
37:43
Speaker 1: this Thanksgiving week and Christmas is coming up and high
37:46
Speaker 1: important heeds play a role he's played in your life. Well,
37:49
Speaker 1: first of all, it is my very best friend and
37:53
Speaker 1: I'm extremely blessed to have him in my life. Without him,
37:57
Speaker 1: first of all, without him I would not have my
37:59
Speaker 1: to a fulfien. So that's first of all, um. Second
38:03
Speaker 1: of all, Key One taught me how to really love myself.
38:06
Speaker 1: I think that he was the key component because he
38:09
Speaker 1: showed me what that love looked like on the outside,
38:13
Speaker 1: jin the outside looking in loving yourself from the outside end.
38:17
Speaker 1: But he showed me how to love myself from the outside.
38:19
Speaker 1: He loved me no matter what, no matter what size.
38:22
Speaker 1: You know, I'm pregnant. I'm two hundred and sixty pounds pregnant,
38:25
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, how am I gonna lose all this weight?
38:28
Speaker 1: He doesn't care. He's still loving me regardless. He's still
38:31
Speaker 1: loving me. What there's no makeup when my hair in calm,
38:34
Speaker 1: all of that. So if a person can love you
38:37
Speaker 1: unconditionally like that, how is it that you can't love yourself?
38:41
Speaker 1: And you have your brain you sit over, you have
38:42
Speaker 1: an opinion, and I can see why you have an opinion,
38:45
Speaker 1: because you've lived a good life and the life that
38:47
Speaker 1: than to be shared and relatable. That's why I understand
38:51
Speaker 1: you a lot more now since I've read this book,
38:53
Speaker 1: and more people should read this book because they'll understand
38:55
Speaker 1: you a lot more now and find you even more
38:58
Speaker 1: relatable because what happens is when your celebrity people see
39:01
Speaker 1: you only through that lens of a song or video performers.
39:06
Speaker 1: When you read her book the weight is over the
39:08
Speaker 1: weight weight spelled W E I G h D, you'll
39:11
Speaker 1: find out she's just as human as you are. Uh huh,
39:15
Speaker 1: that's right. So she Lean Lifestyle, How can we find
39:19
Speaker 1: about that? Is it? Uh? What tell us about that?
39:24
Speaker 1: Or she Lean Lifestyle is a a lifestyle company. It's
39:28
Speaker 1: just what it is. Um. It's not a company to
39:31
Speaker 1: promote a diet. Um. Even though there is a digital
39:34
Speaker 1: workout DVD that I put together with some some of
39:39
Speaker 1: my favorite trainers and favorite women called Mommy's Guest Soul. Um.
39:43
Speaker 1: It's like a beginner workout for women who have just
39:46
Speaker 1: had children or women who are pregnant, and it's actually
39:49
Speaker 1: a hard workout, like you really could get I mean
39:51
Speaker 1: do it and lose weight. I've had I did. She
39:53
Speaker 1: she leaned bastidor program or a a woman lost seventy pounds
39:56
Speaker 1: with it. So um um another last another last seventeen
40:01
Speaker 1: you know. So it does work and it comes with
40:04
Speaker 1: a meal plan, but it's not rocket science, you know. Um.
40:08
Speaker 1: For some people it is some people it is rocket science,
40:10
Speaker 1: and some people need that written out description of what
40:14
Speaker 1: to do, and so I provide that on she Lean
40:16
Speaker 1: Life dot com. Um. You can get it at the website,
40:19
Speaker 1: but it's just really a lifestyle website. I'm still creating it.
40:22
Speaker 1: There's still it's stilling under construction. But I wanted to
40:25
Speaker 1: be a place for women to be able to go
40:28
Speaker 1: to and get all the information they need for self betterment,
40:31
Speaker 1: for optimal wellness on all levels mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, UM.
40:37
Speaker 1: Because you know we need that, we need that, we
40:39
Speaker 1: need that ourselves. I'm a fan of yours, so I'm
40:44
Speaker 1: a fan of yours. I'm gonna tell you something else
40:45
Speaker 1: before I let you go. When I that part of
40:47
Speaker 1: your book, when y'all see your mom in the basement
40:49
Speaker 1: and you guys are doing Jane Funder videos, I was
40:53
Speaker 1: afraid you had me a Jaine fund of videos because
40:55
Speaker 1: I was a rob reconstructor and I had on my
40:58
Speaker 1: little leotars and my leg warm and girl, you brought
41:01
Speaker 1: back so many memories when I hit that section. But
41:03
Speaker 1: your friend, just get those banners over there. I'm a bill.

Speaker 1: went in, Okay, we'll be right back with more from
41:15
Speaker 1: mar Tohn McDonald and money making conversations. Don't touch that down. Yeah,
41:20
Speaker 1: we sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a
41:23
Speaker 1: lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me
41:26
Speaker 1: for my credit card debt and I blamed him for
41:28
Speaker 1: building that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming
41:31
Speaker 1: each other, did our homework and read that a smart
41:34
Speaker 1: way to consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan.
41:37
Speaker 1: But getting a loan was brutal and a time drain.
41:40
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans
41:42
Speaker 1: and I found best Egg. They have an A plus
41:45

Speaker 1: one business day. I applied online with no impact to
41:59
Speaker 1: my credits. She always takes credit from my wings. But
42:02
Speaker 1: long story short, she got an awesome loan, paid off
42:05

Speaker 1: on the money making conversation for Licia Leatherwood. Hello, how
45:22
Speaker 1: are you come on? You? You you got a lot
45:25
Speaker 1: to talk about talking about, you know to men? You
45:27
Speaker 1: am I gonna talk that long? You have a career
45:29
Speaker 1: twenty six years. Tell us how it all started. Uh. Well,
45:35
Speaker 1: of course, like a lot of women who may or
45:38
Speaker 1: may not admit this, my mother didn't know how to
45:40
Speaker 1: do my hair. I had to take matters into my
45:45
Speaker 1: own hands. And you know, back in the day, we
45:47
Speaker 1: didn't have all these wonderful natural hair products that we
45:50
Speaker 1: do now. Uh. We had pro line, some soft shine,
45:54
Speaker 1: you know, things like that. So basically, I am started
45:58
Speaker 1: doing my own hair. I was my first client. And
46:02
Speaker 1: from that point, when you say that doing your own hair,
46:07
Speaker 1: what does that mean, I have a daughter? I mean
46:09
Speaker 1: I actually had to take the comb, the brush, the
46:13
Speaker 1: pony till holders, all those things and come up with stuff,
46:17
Speaker 1: getting the mirror and try to figure out my texture
46:19
Speaker 1: because my hair was a bit rough growing up. You know,
46:23
Speaker 1: it wasn't soft, it was dry. There were a lot
46:27
Speaker 1: of uh, just a lot of issues. And when you're
46:29
Speaker 1: young like that, it's built into your self esteem, you know,
46:33
Speaker 1: if your hair doesn't look like the other girls on
46:35
Speaker 1: the block. So I wanted to look or feel pretty.
46:40
Speaker 1: It's a young girl, you know, and that included my hair.
46:43
Speaker 1: And so I am basically asked my mom if I
46:46
Speaker 1: could do my own hair. And she said sure, and
46:48
Speaker 1: they kept going from that point. Now, m it's a
46:53
Speaker 1: difference from uh you learning it in your own it
46:56
Speaker 1: becomes a childhood. It was about your beauty, it's about
46:59
Speaker 1: self fixedeen what what's your esteem? When did you realize
47:03
Speaker 1: that this is something that you should be doing as
47:06
Speaker 1: a career. I think that I was working in corporate
47:12
Speaker 1: America and I didn't feel the freedom I felt when
47:16
Speaker 1: I was working on hair, like when I was doing
47:19
Speaker 1: people's hair and how they would feel so good and
47:22
Speaker 1: beautiful after I finished. I didn't have that same accomplished
47:25
Speaker 1: feeling going into work, punching a clock, being in a
47:30
Speaker 1: very high air conditioned room in a cubicle with a
47:34
Speaker 1: bunch of people that I felt like I was doing
47:36
Speaker 1: most of the work for. So for me, I decided
47:41
Speaker 1: when I remember just being frustrated and looking out the
47:43
Speaker 1: window of my uh you know building and saying I
47:46
Speaker 1: want to be outside, and I said, you know, I'm
47:49
Speaker 1: gonna take a chance and I'm going to figure this
47:52
Speaker 1: out and go to Consont school. Because I went to
47:55
Speaker 1: school late. I went to school at like thirty one. Um,
47:59
Speaker 1: and most people when they go to constetology school, they
48:01
Speaker 1: go at like nineteen twenty, they start young. But I
48:04
Speaker 1: left Corporate America. I a little four one K plan
48:07
Speaker 1: and all that to pursue hair. And everybody was like, well,
48:12
Speaker 1: what makes you think hair is the way? There's a
48:14
Speaker 1: hairsauce on every corner. What's gonna set you aside and
48:18
Speaker 1: make you different? And natural hair was what made me
48:21
Speaker 1: different because at that time there weren't any natural hair specialists,
48:26
Speaker 1: and I only wanted to work on women that had
48:28
Speaker 1: my texture because I knew what I went through as
48:30
Speaker 1: a child and I didn't want anybody else to stuffer
48:33
Speaker 1: through that now. So you know, really I love it,
48:38
Speaker 1: you know story because it happened to me when you
48:41
Speaker 1: when you lead Corporate America. Because everybody sees that that
48:45
Speaker 1: income at eight to five, you know, lunch break, you
48:48
Speaker 1: get up, you go home, vacation for one k. But
48:52
Speaker 1: when you step out of that that lane, how are
48:55
Speaker 1: you gonna make money? Are you sure? Did you pray
48:59
Speaker 1: on this? Yeah, well don't come this way if you
49:02
Speaker 1: if you, if you make a mistake, I love you,
49:04
Speaker 1: but I don't love you that much. So so what
49:07
Speaker 1: made you go ignore that, ignore the doubters to say
49:11
Speaker 1: this is I've slept on it because I remember when
49:14
Speaker 1: I left IBM. I made a decision a year in
49:17
Speaker 1: advance to leave IBM, and I remember when I made
49:20
Speaker 1: that decision. I actually had tears in my eyes because
49:22
Speaker 1: it was such an emotional moment for me to say
49:25
Speaker 1: that I was gonna do it. Because there's a lot
49:27
Speaker 1: of people. Do understand, when you make these decisions, they
49:29
Speaker 1: don't happen overnight. You you you have you have to
49:32
Speaker 1: build confidence within yourself. You have to believe that because
49:36
Speaker 1: there are so many people who don't believe it. You know,
49:38
Speaker 1: they pat you on the back to you actually tell
49:39
Speaker 1: them the truth, and then all of a sudden they
49:41
Speaker 1: kind of scatter from you because they don't want to
49:43
Speaker 1: be there and they think you're making a big mistake.
49:45
Speaker 1: So you incorporate America people already to you got a
49:48
Speaker 1: hairshops everywhere. How are you gonna jump out there, miss thing?
49:51
Speaker 1: How are you gonna go out there and and make
49:53
Speaker 1: a difference? How are you gonna get a check? You
49:55
Speaker 1: know what? What? What? What? What was the driving forcing you? What? What?
49:58
Speaker 1: Really think? One of the things that we don't do
50:02
Speaker 1: enough of us, We don't look at our resources. There's
50:07
Speaker 1: so many different types of resources we have around us
50:10
Speaker 1: that we do not use. Um and I noticed people
50:13
Speaker 1: don't ask for help. They don't know how to ask
50:16
Speaker 1: for help. Uh. And I don't mean asked call somebody
50:19
Speaker 1: and ask them to give you money because someone and
50:22
Speaker 1: asked them if they know someone in your field or
50:25
Speaker 1: doing what it is that you want to do, who
50:27
Speaker 1: can give you advice? Like those are key tools, you know,
50:31
Speaker 1: is to get the proper advice from people. And so
50:34
Speaker 1: for me, what I did was I was already leaving work,
50:38
Speaker 1: leaving my nine to five and doing hair after work,
50:41
Speaker 1: doing hair on the weekends, and I had to sit
50:44
Speaker 1: down and look at the money I was making. I said,
50:47
Speaker 1: let me not count this money moment to moment or
50:50
Speaker 1: day to day. Let me look at what I'm making
50:52
Speaker 1: in a month just off of doing hair, and let
50:54
Speaker 1: me compare it to the salary I make at work. Now,
50:59
Speaker 1: if I leave this job, if I let's say I'm
51:01
Speaker 1: making half the money I made that work and I
51:05
Speaker 1: leave the job, that means I can make more. So
51:07
Speaker 1: it would only make sense to leave the job and
51:11
Speaker 1: and to act on faith. And the other thing I
51:14
Speaker 1: had was a very good resume. So if it didn't
51:16
Speaker 1: work out. I could always go back to corporate America,
51:19
Speaker 1: but that wasn't what I wanted. And when you really
51:24
Speaker 1: want something and you have the will and the willpower
51:28
Speaker 1: to get it, it manifest. And so it's so important
51:33
Speaker 1: for us to recognize how strong our will is and
51:36
Speaker 1: how bad we wanted and to go for it, because
51:39
Speaker 1: that means the God is trying to tell you something.
51:42
Speaker 1: It's your time. And so I don't think that people
51:45
Speaker 1: understand that they feel that feeling they want to move
51:49
Speaker 1: and they want to change, that they left fear interrupted,
51:52
Speaker 1: and that's not what it's there for. That that feeling
51:55
Speaker 1: of change and move means it's your time. You're saying
51:58
Speaker 1: things to me and saying things to my listeners that
52:00
Speaker 1: are going to change their lives, their life and their
52:03
Speaker 1: lives male and female, and so so what you always
52:07
Speaker 1: realize that your brand because of social media and I'm
52:10
Speaker 1: not telling anything you don't know. I'm just asking you
52:13
Speaker 1: to understand that your value is so tremendous and to
52:17
Speaker 1: have you on my show is because your value is
52:19
Speaker 1: so tremendous. And anytime you get back, because this is
52:22
Speaker 1: a version of giving back, I'm using your name to
52:25
Speaker 1: get back and educate people of color. M hm. So
52:31
Speaker 1: I UM have been. I really want for people to
52:35
Speaker 1: get involved and not because you know anybody because Oprah said,
52:42
Speaker 1: a Will Smith said, or you know, but just be
52:45
Speaker 1: motivated to support your community. I am, um really a
52:50
Speaker 1: big advocate for supporting black owned businesses, and I go
52:54
Speaker 1: around the community and find businesses to showcase because I
52:59
Speaker 1: think people don't understand what social media. We have a
53:03
Speaker 1: lot of followers, We have a lot of people listening
53:05
Speaker 1: and watching us, and that is our chance to use
53:08
Speaker 1: our influence to showcase others. So if I have a
53:13
Speaker 1: hundred thousands followers on Instagram, then I'm trying to put
53:17
Speaker 1: other people down that don't have that, that are starting businesses,
53:21
Speaker 1: but businesses with integrity. So make sure like your business
53:24
Speaker 1: is gonna do what it says it's gonna do, and
53:27
Speaker 1: that you have good uh customer service about your business
53:33
Speaker 1: if things go go haywire. But um, I really like
53:37
Speaker 1: to support in that way in my community by going
53:40
Speaker 1: around and showcasing black owned businesses that are newly operating
53:46
Speaker 1: or that have been around for a while. Uh. And
53:49
Speaker 1: today there is an event um and here in Los
53:53
Speaker 1: Angeles at my friends home and it's for the homeless veterans.
53:58
Speaker 1: And a lot of my colleagues, barbers and hairstylists are
54:03
Speaker 1: going from ten am this morning at four pm down
54:08
Speaker 1: to the homeless um house and they're gonna be servicing
54:12
Speaker 1: the homeless Petrians today so they can get free haircuts
54:15
Speaker 1: and hairstyles and facials. So I donated brushes to that.
54:20
Speaker 1: I've donated money to to the organization. UM there is
54:26
Speaker 1: uh also um some thing's happening over in West Africa
54:30
Speaker 1: and uh in Nigeria and in Senegal where they're raising
54:35
Speaker 1: money for schools uh there, and so I support in
54:40
Speaker 1: that way, and I just really try my best to
54:43
Speaker 1: let people know what's happened so we can all get involved. Felicia,
54:46
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on my show. I will be
54:49
Speaker 1: ordering two or those Detangler brushes today. And you keep winning,
54:52
Speaker 1: young ladies, You keep winning. Okay, Yeah, we sort of
54:57
Speaker 1: stopped paying attention and wracked up a lot of that.
55:00
Speaker 1: Uh it was stressful. He blamed me for my credit
55:02
Speaker 1: card debt and I blamed him for building that man cave.
55:05
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Anyway, we stopped blaming each other, did our
55:08
Speaker 1: homework and read that a smart way to consolidate debt
55:11
Speaker 1: is to get a fixed rate loan. But getting a
55:14
Speaker 1: loan was brutal and a time drain. So I was
55:16
Speaker 1: in my man cave researching personal loans and I found
55:19
Speaker 1: best Egg. They have an A plus rating with the
55:22
Speaker 1: B B B and best Egg handles everything online start
55:25
Speaker 1: to finish, and Consumer Affairs gave best Egg five stars
55:28
Speaker 1: for their easy online loan app. And we could be
55:30
Speaker 1: approved and funded and as little as one business day.
55:33
Speaker 1: I applied online with no impact to my credit score.
55:36
Speaker 1: She always takes credit for my wins. But long story short,
55:39
Speaker 1: she got an awesome loan, paid off our cards and
55:42
Speaker 1: some bills while lowering our monthly payment. The best Egg
55:45
Speaker 1: loan was like a total fresh start. Visit best egg
