March 1st, 2024 Episode #9 •|Special Interview with Dorian Watson, of D.M. Watson Consulting, LLC|•

This group recording isn't the best quality, so forgive how choppy it sounds. For some reason it plays back sped up in parts where it sounds like we're talking over each other. This is a mystery because it was not sounding this way in realtime - this endeavor is a work in progress!
Thanks for your patience.
In today's episode I have the pleasure of interviewing my friend, Dorian Watson of D.M. Watson Consulting, LLC https://www.dmwatsonconsulting.com/
She is committed to improving the internal business operations of any organization she works with, ensuring that they are running at optimal efficiency.
In addition to running her business, Dorian is a lay speaker and Faith Driven Entrepreneur Group Facilitator. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. https://www.faithdrivenentrepreneur.org/pray-with-us

Feb 23 2024 20:17 Episode #7 •|Helpers, help themselves!|•

This episode highlights how helpers often only help others, and not themselves.
It's so common, and yet something that needs to be encouraged to stop -- what I mean is, helpers should keep helping others -- but need to help themselves MORE!
It's not self-centered, or immoral to want to take care of your own needs, even though you spend more time tending to the needs of others.
Funny timing because one of the authors I follow released an article this morning on the topic I'm covering in this episode, I will share here: https://www.livewellwithsharonmartin.com/self-care-codependency-recovery/ Is someone in your household snoring or grinding, and need a mouth guard? check this out, for self-care purposes: https://amzn.to/4k8OvTq
