Beyond The Business Suit with Kailei Carr

We're going "Right Within" with our next special guest, Author and Workplace and Equity Consultant, Minda Harts. On this episode of the Beyond the Business Suit podcast, we're diving deep into how women of color can embrace their healing journeys due to workplace trauma using tools from her new book, "Right Within". By allowing us to tap into her own personal journey that inspired her to write this book (along with 2 others), together we unpack just how we can advocate, affirm and protect our humanity in order to become the most healthiest versions of ourselves.

For the past few episodes, we've jumped back in time to our Beyond the Business Suit Conversations series, previously recorded live on Zoom March 16-20, 2020, a time when the majority of the Unites States were working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We close out the series with an informative discussion with Dr. Reisha Moxley, Behavioral Psychologist and Asst. Professor of Clinical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She shed light on how to cater to our souls and gave us insights on using the time we were in wisely. Dr. Moxley also walked us through what has perhaps been one of the most impactful, and still relevant, topic areas, healthy mental health practices during a time of increased isolation and fear of the unknown.

In this episode, we're continuing to take a step back to March 16-20, 2020 when the pandemic first started and the majority of us were on lockdown at home trying to figure out how to cope. I got inspired to invite a few special guests to lend us their support, insight and perspective during that unprecedented time and among them were Energetic Healer, Rod White and Executive Life Coach, Patrice Ford Lyn. During our conversation, we discussed ways to manage our energy while staying in alignment with our highest selves, which we can all still benefit from today.

As we continue to take a look back at the Beyond the Business Suit Conversations that took place March of 2020, we dive into a conversation featuring Certified Integrative Nutritionist and Founder of Yummy Spoonfuls, Agatha Achindu and Chiropractor and Owner of Elevate Family Chiropractic, Dr. Naeema Olatunji. This important conversation highlights how we can take care of our bodies, along with our families' bodies, during a time where we were stationed majorly at home, which still proves to be relevant two years later. This conversation tackled tactical things to boost your immune system, thinking twice before drinking milk, the use of hand sanitizer along with eating meat. We even discussed Agatha's family diet at the time to prevent sickness and Dr. Naeema's daily routine to protect their bodies.

We are officially marking 2 years since the pandemic began this month, therefore we're taking a look back by re-releasing a few of our Beyond the Business Suit conversations that feature a few special guests dedicated to to give us support, insight and perspective the help us get through that challenging and unprecedented time. This series of conversations were originally recorded live via ZOOM March 16-20, 2020, which was the first full week that the majority of the people in the United States were working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wherever you are in the world today, take some time to reflect on where you were then. We hope this perspective is still comforting and helpful for you.  This first episode in this series is with Pastor Léonce Crump, Senior Pastor at my home church, Renovation Church which is located in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. Pastor Léonce spoke to us about faith, leading through a crisis like this and why African-Americans specifically should be leading the way in how to respond to this pandemic.
