On this episode, we're tackling the big question: how do you face your biggest fears? Varshini Hadaddin, also known as the Musical Doc shares her story of how she took the adventure of a lifetime to pursue her passion. But don't think she just threw caution to the wind... I mean, sure there was a little of that, but she also found ways to prepare herself mentally, emotionally, spiritually, made lists, weighed her options and at that pivotal time decided doing what she loved was worth the risk it would take to just do it.

As a Story Producer for over 12 years I've had the opportunity to hear and share 100's of people's stories. In this series, I'll be posting steps in the process to how to tell your story through writing or public speaking. If you want to write your personal story or share it as a public speaker, it starts with figuring out what it is, next you'll be narrowing it down to the brass tacks, then working on how to make it compelling by injecting humor, heart and a structure. No matter how good a story is, how you tell it makes the difference as to how people will receive it. Let's get you started!

On this episode, although she's an entrepreneur at heart, the corporate world was always a part of Candace Newman's "succession plan."

Candace makes distinct connections to how personal relationship dynamics affected her experience climbing the corporate ladder which affords her a unique insight to give her incisive interpretation of the disconnect between Black and White professionals. She's a Leader, a Mentor, a Mother... she is unstoppable. Guest Social(s): @pytcandace @liveoutlive_la Host Social(s): @candisfrancis @creator2creator

On this episode, Candis explores the idea of how to feel rich... Many of us have a desire to make mounds of cash, travel on a whim, feast like Queens and Kings and create a wealth legacy for our families but what does it truly take to reach and maintain this status. If we don't know what it's like to be rich, how can we ever feel that way? This interview with the talented Singer-Songwriter, Forrest West was inspired by this topic of embodying the mindset to have great fortune; as he grew up in those surroundings. While you might think someone who grew up "having it all" would have a next to perfect life, you'd be sorely mistaken. And while you might think your experiences wouldn't align, you may be surprised to learn how much they actual do.

As a creator, it can be challenging at times to take disciplined action toward your goals. I have produced and written in television and music for over 20 years; I know what it's like to juggle day to day life and authentically pursue my ultimate purpose. I like to take cues from those who are doing it well and learn from those experiencing challenges. My goal every week to share through my experiential knowledge, and to introduce you to all types of creators: entrepreneurs, painters, designers, healers, musicians, and more, to share their stories. We'll also discuss the wisdom and career trajectory of great creators like Oprah Winfrey, Napoleon Hill, Martha Stewart, Elon Musk and many more who have built strong legacies by tapping into their highest truest consciousness. As you can see, by 'Creator' I don't simply mean someone making art, I mean manifesting the masterpiece that is your destiny.

On this episode, Candis gets even more vulnerable. Emotionally speaking, 2020 has not been the easiest year for anyone. Whether you've been experiencing health issues, financial strain, other stresses or grief of any kind, or even growth; the tone has been one of deep stability-eroding feelings. And this winter's onset of seasonal depression will pity no one who is susceptible. While sadness can hit you hard and fast, it is a condition of your mind, it doesn't have to be who you are. Take a journey with me, as I get uncomfortably emotional and share some of the ways I shift my low vibration.Video of episode available at: www.youtube.com/c/candisfrancisShow Social(s): @Creator2Creator | @candisfrancisCreated by: Candis Francis | The Female Dynamic (@thefemaledynamic)
