There’s a well known phrase, "Bloom where you are planted" & there are many ways this phrase is applicable to my conversation with Dr. Erica Kumar. For starters, she has done exactly that. During our visit, you’ll hear how she is playing her cards right in embracing opportunities and has created a life she loves with her family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You’ll also learn about her involvement in philanthropy, including serving as co-chair with her husband Neel, for the Stacked Deck Fundraiser in Sept. She shares more about Resonance, the women’s organization directly benefitting from the fundraiser and how this fundraiser really helps to support the women who have the cards stacked against them.

This episode is with a very special guest, my daughter and intern, Mackenzie Ann. During this conversation we’ll visit about her four years at The University of Arkansas – from her sorority to her studies - and a little about what we love about Fayetteville (there’s a lot!). Mackenzie has cracked the code for herself on time management and organization so she offers some tips in those areas to help others. She also shares about how she maximized her study abroad experience during her junior year and her upcoming summer internship at L’Oreal!

In this episode, Danielle Melton, Founder of MOTHERboard Society, and I visit about our experience attending the ALT Summit Conference for the first time.
Many of you know that I had the opportunity to speak @altsummit in Palm Springs in March and althought it was my first time attending this women’s conference, it won’t be my last. From the relaxed vibe to the excitement of being a part of an incredible community of women who understand what it’s like to be a creative entrepreneur. I met so many amazing people, including @danielleamelton, Founder @joinmotherboard, a true powerhouse, who is also from Tulsa. We didn’t know each other prior to attending the event and joked that we had to meet in California to connect in Oklahoma. I have had several people ask about my experience and if attending was “worth it” – the answer is a resounding yes – it’s worth it on so many levels, most importantly, your time and money is an investment in yourself and your professional journey.
I invited Danielle for a conversation to share more about our experiences at ALT Summit and learn her thoughts on the overall caliber of women who attend and the topics that are shared and discussed. We recorded an Instagram live and I'm now sharing the audio version. Danielle is incredible and I’m excited to share our visit with you!

From teen mom to securing a supporting role in a modern family musical at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center this month, Patricia Pineda, is one amazing mom!
Patricia was nominated in Tulsa Kids' Amazing Mom contest by her daughter, Dayann, who had some very special words about her mother whom she describles as her "biggest cheerleader". Besides being a supportive mom to two daughters, Patricia is a U.S.Navy Veteran and a recent college graduate. But there have been times when Patricia struggled as a single mom, battling depression and homelessness, and she will never forget being in that place.  Today, Patricia is focused on being a good mom and helping her daughters create meaningful lives.

Tracy Spears has made a career out of helping others. As the Founder of the Exceptional Leaders Lab, she engages with developing leaders, inspiring teamwork and creating inclusive cultures. She’s a best-selling author, host of the Shift Out Loud Podcast, TEDx speaker (you should look her up!) and keynote speaker among many other things.  During this podcast we’ll discuss her humble beginnings growing up in a trailer park in Tulsa as well as being  disowned by her parents in her early twenty’s when they found out she was gay, and how all these life experiences shaped her into who she is today. She is a cheerleader to those who don’t want to play small and what to shift out loud! I hope you enjoy this conversation with Tracy Spears.
