The First Year of Entrepreneurship: Scrubs, Stress & Success

In this episode, Ebony sits down with Princess Stewart, CEO of All Over Body Scrubs LLC, for a candid conversation about her first year in business. We laugh, we reflect, and we talk honestly about the realities of entrepreneurship: the excitement, the challenges, the wins, and yes...the stress that comes with building something of your own. Princess shares what inspired her to become an entrepreneur, why she's committed to continually pushing herself outside of her comfort zone, and the role consistency has played in her journey. We also dive into the power of networking, showing up before you feel "ready," and the lessons she's learned along the way. Whether you're thinking about starting a business, you're in your first few years as an entrepreneur, or you simply enjoy hearing authentic stories from people building something meaningful, this conversation is full of relatable moments, practical insights, and encouragement to keep going.

"Balanced-ish", Not Perfect: A Real Conversation on Health Coaching w/ Marlena Cunningham

In this episode, Ebony Unique sits down with Marlena Cunningham, a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, to have a real conversation about what health coaching actually looks like. Spoiler: it’s not just about eating better and working out. We get into how health coaching overlaps with the work I do in professional development and leadership—because the truth is, the things we struggle with in one area of our lives tend to show up everywhere. Habits, stress, expectations, burnout… it’s all connected. This isn’t a “here’s how to be perfect” conversation. It’s about being balanced-ish. It’s about giving yourself some grace while still being honest about where you might need support. If you’ve ever felt like you should have it all figured out by now, or you’ve written off health coaching as “not for you,” this might shift your perspective a bit. And if nothing else, it’ll get you thinking about where you could use a little more support in your own life.

You Don’t Need Another Product—You Need a Plan w/ Katie Schmid

In this episode, we sit down with Katie to break down what financial planning actually means—and why so many people mistake having accounts, savings, or income for having a real plan. We dive into Katie’s journey into financial advising, how her own relationship with money evolved, and why the role of a financial advisor is often misunderstood. We also unpack the difference between simply “having stuff” like a 401(k), investments, or multiple accounts versus having a strategy that supports your real life now and your future goals. For entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone with inconsistent income, Katie shares how to plan when cash flow changes month to month—and why the mindset of “I can always make more money” can quietly create financial stress. We also discuss how money impacts relationships, why financial planning shouldn’t be a solo sport, and what changes when people finally get clarity and support. This episode is for anyone who feels behind, overwhelmed, successful-but-disorganized, or ready to create more peace around money. In This Episode: How Katie became a financial advisor The myths people believe about financial advisors Why having investments isn’t the same as having a plan Where to start if finances feel overwhelming Financial strategies for entrepreneurs & variable income Balancing future planning with enjoying life now How money affects relationships What financial planning gives you beyond numbers Quick money wins and common mistakes to avoid Connect with Katie: kschmid@primerica.com Instagram: @heyitskatieschmid https://www.primerica.com/kschmid Connect with Emily: Emily@nourishedwithemily.com Instagram: @nourishedwithemily Nourishedwithemily.com

We're Supposed to be Filling Our Cups... Not Overloading Our Plates w/ Devin Negrete

In this episode, Ebony Unique sits down with Devin Negrete to talk about something we’re all navigating... bandwidth. We get into what it really looks like to manage your time, resources, energy, and capacity when everything feels important and everybody needs something from you—including yourself. We talk about asking for help (and why that can feel so uncomfortable), figuring out when to say no without the guilt, and actually making space for the things that bring you joy. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, trying to do it all, or just needing a reminder that you’re not the only one navigating this, this conversation is for you. Nothing perfect, nothing polished—just real talk, a few “oh wow, that’s me” moments, and two people figuring it out in real time.

Juggling a 9-5, a Business, a Family, & a Healthy/Balanced Life w/ Yarden Caroll

In this episode, Ebony sits down with Yarden Carroll of Crowned Creative for an honest conversation about the real work of balancing a 9-to-5 job, building a business, caring for your family, and trying to take care of yourself in the process. We talk about the power of honesty from the people who love us and how those difficult but necessary conversations can help keep us grounded and on track. We explore the importance of setting boundaries, being truthful with ourselves about our capacity, and accepting the reality that sometimes there simply isn't enough time to juggle everything. And that's okay. Sometimes, some things have to wait. Yarden also shares the practical strategies she uses to prioritize rest and self-care while navigating entrepreneurship and working toward the goal of creating enough consistent revenue to leave her 9-to-5 behind. If you've ever felt stretched too thin, struggled with guilt around rest, or wondered how everyone else seems to manage it all, this conversation is a reminder that you're not alone—and that there may be a healthier, more sustainable way forward.

Let’s Talk About It (Even When It’s Uncomfortable) w/ the Pod Squad

Today’s conversation is about communication... Not just what we say, but what actually lands. We talk about how tone, body language, silence, and assumptions all shape meaning in ways we don’t always realize. What we meant isn’t always what gets received… and what we hear isn’t always what was actually said. In this episode, the Pod Squad has a real conversation about communication styles, using DiSC as a lens to understand why we show up so differently in relationships, leadership, and client work. We also get honest about how quickly we can make assumptions and what changes when we don’t. Conflict comes up too, because it has to. But instead of something to avoid, we explore it as a signal that something just isn’t landing the same way on both sides. The thing we hope everyone takes away from this episode is that communication isn’t just about speaking clearly, it’s about being willing to listen differently.
