    I take a moment to have a conversation with Cinneah El Amin of Flynanced where she tells me how she was able to eliminate $23,000 worth of debt in a year! Cinneah is the creator and voice behind Flynanced.com. Since traveling to 27 countries and counting, she created Flynanced to inspire others to fly financially free, which means seeing more of the world with less debt and less financial worry. In 2020, Cinneah is on a journey to become debt free and pay off over $23,000 by December. Cinneah knows a thing or two about the consumer credit industry, having spent her career working for top credit card companies in product management and product development. She holds degrees from Barnard College and Wake Forest University School of Business. When Cinneah is not planning her next trip or writing for her blog, she's probably listening to Beyonce or discovering the next best taco spot in NYC.  Connect with Cinneah on her website www.flynanced.com and follow her on Instagram @fly.nanced.

    Episode 19: Seven Ways to incorporate wellness into your daily routine

    On this episode of The Soa Inspired Podcast, I share seven ways to incorporate wellness into your daily routine. I was listening to the Michelle Obama podcast on Spotify, phenomenal by the way, and she was speaking with her guest, award winning journalist Michelle Rogers about their thoughts and feelings surround the pandemic and protests that have taken over much of the year. One quote from that episode that resonated with me and will continue to for probably the rest of my life is this, "Don't reach for normal, reach for better." DON'T REACH FOR NORMAL, REACH FOR BETTER. Whew! Let that sink in. Don't reach for normal, reach for better. That's what wellness is all about, the intention and decision to reach for better in our lives one good choice at a time. Seven ways to incorporate wellness in your daily life include: getting more sleep, drinking water, and releasing negative energy. Take a listen to these and more ways to incorporate wellness into your daily life on this episode of The Soa Inspired Podcast.

    Episode 18: Be Bold at the Polls with Representative Valencia Stovall

    Whew! Y'all alright out there? We have entered the second half of the wildest year and decade we've ever experienced. Not to mention, it's an election year and many of our elder community leaders are leaving us to join the Ancestors.  I had the opportunity to sit down with my local representative to talk civics, community, and "Jungle elections." She is in a highly contested race for a Senate seat left vacant by Jon Isakson which is currently occupied by Kelly Loeffler, plus 21 other candidates. Rep. Valencia Stovall is a native of southeast Atlanta and mother of two who has a strong diverse background in finance, entrepreneurship, and public policy, currently residing in Forest Park. In 2012, she was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives and has been a bi-partisan leader for eight years, working with both liberals and conservatives to develop a $45 million grant for local governments, authored and passed legislation to protect special needs students, authored legislation to reform Georgia’s education funding formula, and co-sponsored over a dozen bills to improve the lives of Georgians that have been signed into law.  She has served on over twenty-one committees, state commissions and non-profit boards. She has earned respect for standing firm on her beliefs even when it's unpopular and strives to do her part in making Georgia the best place to live, work, and play through economic development, education transformation and voter empowerment. She is a U.S. Senate candidate for the November 3, 2020 special election to represent Georgia as one of 2 senators. Connect with Rep.
