Empty Nest Empires Tami Romani

Ernestine Tebon-Spreemann had her first experience with making extra money by selling mangoes at age 8 in Camaroon, West Africa. She has been hooked on the side hustle ever since. Fast forward to now, and she has transformed her failing brick and mortar consignment shop into an online shopping experience on the Poshmark app. Still working her 9 to 5 job, Ernestine believes everyone can and should have a way to make money on the side. In this interview, she will inspire you to find things in your own closet to begin a side hustle selling what you no longer need or wear. Who knows? This may develop into a great income, or even a full time reselling business! (FYI, Ernestine makes about $1,000 for every $200 she spends at a thrift store.) You might want to download the Poshmark App so you can follow along while we chat about this.
Ernestine tells us all her tips - including how to price your items, how to prepare them to sell - and how she catalogs and stores over 800 items in her very small house… and how she can find them again after they have sold!

Today's episode is a very special interview with my daughter, Nikki Romani. Nikki has written and published her first book - available now on Amazon (nikkiromani.com/book). We talk about her experiences on the World Race, an 11 month missions trip, where her experiences led her to know the God she had never met - the Holy Spirit.
Do the miracles and spiritual encounters in the Bible still happen today? This is a question Nikki asked herself. She grew up going church and reading the Bible, but felt as though something was missing; an unexplainable power not of this world. Nikki started hearing stories of others experiencing miracles and she came to a point in her life she wanted to experience them too. She didn’t realize the same power she read about in the Bible was living inside of her from the moment she asked Jesus into her heart. That power is the Holy Spirit. Through Nikki’s desire to learn more about the Holy Spirit, she encountered Him in ways she never dreamed she would - from seeing angels, to witnessing miracles. You can encounter Him in this way too. In A God You’ve Never Met, you will learn: What it means to release control and surrender, What Scripture says about the Holy Spirit, How to hear the voice of God, How to discover your spiritual gifts, How to "see" in the spiritual realm. Are you ready to meet a God you’ve never met?

I woke up one morning this week with this phrase running through my mind: "YOUR STORY MAY HOLD A KEY TO UNLOCK HEALING FOR SOMEONE ELSE."
This has never happened to me before - I will sometimes wake up with a song, but never have I heard such a profound declaration the minute I wake up. But that's just what this was. 
Storytelling is such an important part of leaving a legacy, I wonder if this message is for you today? Are you telling your stories? Let's talk about it...

If you have a story to share but you are holding yourself back because you need more confidence in speaking, A Confident Voice group coaching with me opens next week. Let's spend 4 weeks getting you past your roadblocks and on to making an impact with your stories. Go to AConfidentVoice.com to sign up!

My guest today is Renita D. Terry. Renita has always introduced herself as a 5th generation educator and 3rd generation musician. While she has years of experience in the corporate world, she is now driven to transition out of that role and help others design a life of Confident Brilliance.
Renita says in order to show up for the world, we all need to operate from a place of confidence, in spite of the fact that we all may fight imposter syndrome. To practice showing up is what gives you confidence. 
In this episode, Renita says that we all are probably more brilliant than we realize. She lays out steps to unlock that brilliance in a way that makes sense for everyone. Whether you are in a time of transition and exploring your options, or you know the direction you are going and just need to connect with your brilliance on a deeper level of confidence, you’ll enjoy this interview with Renita D. Terry.
Renita says it’s important to ask yourself these two questions: Where have you shown up lately? Where do you show up on a consistent basis? The goal to showing up consistently is to create a system.

Personality Tests. How many have you taken, and are they helpful? Today we are going to talk about one that’s been around a long time but is now gaining popularity - The Enneagram. My guest expert is Tammy Helfrich of tammyhelfrich.com - Tammy is a coach, speaker, writer, and podcast host with a passion for helping women remember who they are and honor their deepest, truest self. The Enneagram is very helpful with that. 
So today, we dive in to what the Enneagram is all about and how it can help you in your daily life, in your relationships, and in your work. As Tammy says, “The gift of the enneagram is to see that people are wired differently, and that we all have different gifts we bring to the world.”
