Live EPIC: Youth Development & Leadership Darryl Bodkin

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Miss New
Jerey 2023, Derby Chukwudi. She is an example of living life with a sense of purpose. This conversation would inspire and educate us as parents, caregivers and business leaders on how we can help the young women in our care to live purposeful lives.

“Winning is the cherry on top, it’s who you are becoming
that’s most important” Derby Chukwudi

“The process of becoming is key” Derby Chukwudi

Money is one of the top sources of stress! In this episode, I spoke with Certified Financial Planner Righetti Joseph about the ‘4 money scripts’. The money scripts are 4 concepts in behavioral finance that explain our attitude towards money and how it impacts the decisions that we make regarding money. The goal is to correct our attitude regarding money so that we can nurture the adolescents in our care to have a healthy view about their finances.

In this episode, I sat down with Anthony & Jessica Cicali to learn how they parent their daughter, Abbigail who has been diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. It is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. It results in delayed development, challenges with their speech, balance and intellectual disability. There is no cure. However, the Cicali’s have rallied for over 13 years through their faith, resilience, and a large community of supporters.

Hey friends it's been almost a year! I took a break after the birth of my third blessing, Amiko!

On this episode I interviewed my mother, a retired public/civil servant from Trinidad and Tobago. I hope that if you are a parent or adolescent in or entering public/civil service that you are able to find some nuggets in this episode to empower you.
