Exciting news! I’m in a new book! 
 
In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, I thought I’d share my chapter in the new book Hot Mess to Hot Mom by Tara De Leon. My chapter is called “Marriage, Baby, and Business, Oh My: Navigating a good opportunity with seemingly bad timing.”
 
Tune in to this episode to hear the chaotic story behind how I found myself as a new mom and new business owner at the same time. This is a story about how wrong timing can turn out to be perfect timing if you stick to your values and follow your dreams. 
 
Topics covered in this episode include:
 
When to say yes to unexpected opportunities 
How I learned the hard way that we don’t always control the timing of our lives
A tool to use when you’re at the crossroads of a good opportunity and bad timing 
 
If you’re at a crossroads in your life, I think this episode could be just what you need to hear. I hope you love it!

Do you feel like you are a leading lady?
 
In this episode, I sat down with Sabrina Mapp, and we dug into authenticity, discovering our strength, and showing up as the leading lady that we want to be.
 
Sabrina is a nerdy, introverted, idealist. A late Gen X-er and maybe a bit of a late bloomer, she is currently living her life backward. Her new favorite quote is “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine – it’s lethal”. – Paulo Coelho 
 
Sabrina has worked in Web Development at several prestigious companies including IBM, National Geographic, and most recently Georgetown University Law Center. She started her company, Astrid Digital, in January 2020, just in time for the pandemic to hit. Astrid Digital specializes in social media strategy and marketing for small to medium businesses. 
 
Since mid-2020, Sabrina has been training for a career in voiceover acting and recently launched a new website for her voiceover career, Sabrina Mapp, Voiceover.
 
She is sharing her story, energy, and vibrance in this episode to inspire and challenge you to take the reins on your own life and truly become a strong leading lady.

Personal brand photography is vital to success, but taking portraits can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Don’t you agree?
 
I am not someone who likes to be photographed, but my guest today, Maureen Porto, has a way of making me feel comfortable and confident while she photographs me.
 
Maureen Porto is an award-winning portrait photographer specializing in business portraits and personal branding photography. Her Annapolis, Maryland studio serves clients from all over the DC Metropolitan area, and she travels from coast to coast.
 
She joined me to talk about the importance of personal branding and using photography as a way to help female entrepreneurs stand out and elevate their brands.
 
I have been working with Maureen for quite some time, and I am constantly in awe of how she can capture the beauty, power, and legacy of women in business. 
 
If you know that you should get photos taken but are nervous, listen to this episode. Maureen will help you find the confidence you need.

You don’t have to upend your life to make animal and environmentally-friendly choices. 
 
Topics like climate change and deforestation can be really overwhelming to think about. After all, how much of a difference can one person really make? The truth is, we need everyone’s effort. Taking steps to be more environmentally friendly will make an impact. Every small action adds up to big changes.
 
In this episode of the Leading Lady podcast, Crystal DiMiceli joined me to talk about how we can make a difference in our environment even with the tiniest of changes. 
 
Crystal was that little girl who loved animals and brought home strays whenever her parents would allow it (that may still be her M.O.!). She was that teenager who watched a show about pollution and vowed to stop it when she grew up. But, she’s also that woman that loves to travel to far-off places on fossil fuel-guzzling airplanes while wearing leather shoes. 
 
She may not be the perfect example of how to do eco- and animal-friendly 100% “right”, but she makes every effort possible. She does her research, makes conscious choices, and listens to both sides of the aisle. She wants to bring attention to the good things that are happening so that we can elevate and scale up these acts so that they, ideally, become the norm. She understands that nothing is black and white, there are many shades of grey. Although, she prefers to say many shades of green. 
 
You don’t have to be perfect to be environmentally conscious. It all starts with one small change. We are so much more powerful than you may think, especially together. Make sure to tune in to learn how you can start making more environmentally conscious decisions in your life today.
