Temi Arinola is an entrepreneur, choreographer, and professional hair stylist. She is AMAZING and so inspiring. Listen to her story as she navigates her finding her voice and redefining herself into the woman she is becoming.
This is a three-part conversation with her about life, love, living, and learning to start over.
In this episode, I talk with Nia Obotette, author of "I am a Triathlete". Nia was inspired to write this book when she could not find a book that reflected an African American Woman's perspective and experience in the sport of Triathlon. She wrote this book to encourage her niece and other African-American girls to dream big and go beyond their perspectives and limitations based on society's views of how African-American girls are portrayed; or lack thereof.
Hello and thank you for tuning into the BEING YOU 365 Podcast. My name is Sandra and I am the creator and host of this podcast.
In this next episode, I sit down with my friend McKenley Mason to talk about his journey to become an IRONMAN. McKenley is 63 years old and recently completed his first IRONMAN event. Completing his first IRONMAN was something that he trained for over a year and shared with us life lessons that he learned along the way.
Key points to take away from our conversations: 1. It's never too late to live your dreams 2. It only takes one person 3. Do what makes you happy and not worry about pleasing others 4. Live is short. BE PRESENT. BE YOU.
We all go through things that make us question our purpose. For the last few months, I've been working on trying to better understand this concept in relation to how I perceive the world and how the world perceives me.
Finding my voice has come with some good and bad lessons in managing relationships. We all have to make compromises in regards to what is acceptable and what is negotiable in order to maintain a healthy balance.
What are you willing to comprise in order to maintain a healthy relationship?
Several months ago, I hit a wall and found myself stuck. Personally, I had some things happen in 2020 that have me pause and I found myself mourning some lost friendships. Creatively, I ran out of juice due to the aforementioned reason.
My inspiration was there but I had to open my eye and my heart to allow God to help me see his plan for my life. My inspiration wasn't found in "things". I started to find my inspiration on a deeper level by remembering my purpose.
Sometimes, we have to get out of his and our own way, in order to see what we need to see. I needed to move past the pain of 2020 so that I can embrace the joy that was waiting for me in 2021.
In life, we will encounter situations that are beyond our control. Those are opportunities where growth occurs. Learning to grow through the pain, disappointments, and sorrow will make you stronger. You will find strength in your faith and you will draw strength from those who truly love you.
Be You! Be Open!
Welcome to BEING YOU 365 Podcast.
Episode 12 is an inspirational conversation with Germaine Roberson on the topic of "A Matter of Discipline".
A Matter of Discipline is a conversation that I had with Germaine Roberson about best practices in life and publishing his daily testimonials. Germaine has over 1,000 YOUTUBE videos where he shares his views and testimony as a legacy for his kids and uses those videos as a way to inspire others. During our conversation, we also discussed breadcrumbs to success and how we stay encouraged even when the feedback loop seems to be void.
Inspiration happens every day and sometimes we are the difference for someone to be inspired. So we must always “show up”. We need to continuously show up and do our part whether or not there ‘seems’ to be supported. Don’t let the actions or inactions of others control what you need to do.
You are enough! You must practice, daily, to be disciplined. Your ability to inspire someone may be a matter of them seeing you live your life with purpose and zeal. Our efforts won’t always be perfect because we don’t strive for perfection; but rather, we strive for progression.

Welcome to being you 365 Podcast. This is an inspirational conversation on the topic of "Self-love". Self-love is the ability to hold you in high regard for your well being and happiness. Self-love is the understanding that you can love others but not give in to the peer pressure of selling yourself short for their benefit. In this conversation, I talk about the need to love ourselves more than the need to please others. I use my personal experience as a backdrop to this topic and share ways that I had to distance myself from negative people and negative experiences in order to find myself. How do you cultivate self-love? This is a question that we all have to figure out for ourselves, but it starts with understanding what your triggers are. Why do you seek the acceptance of others? What is it about you, that you feel is lacking? How do you begin the journey of self-discovery in order to love yourself?
Welcome to BEING YOU 365. This new episode is a conversation about how to maintain your sense of self in a world that wants so much of you. We have to find that delicate balance between what we put out in the world and what we keep to ourselves in order to live a balanced life.
Our identity should be based on who we are and how we see ourselves and not based on how the world views us. Learn to love yourself regardless of how the world feels about you.
Welcome to being you 365 Podcast. This is a motivational speech on the topic of "The Power of Ideas". You are a remarkable individual with untapped potential. Your ideas are the gateway to you tapping into the power that God has given to you. Believe in yourself and have faith that you can achieve great things. Go for your dreams with passion and veal. BE YOU! BE GREAT! BE Daring to live our best life today.

Welcome to being you 365 Podcast. My name is Sandra and I am your host. This podcast is dedicated to self-improvement. In episode 7, I discuss the concept of failing to win. As we live our lives, we all want to feel successful. We all want a sense of accomplishment in our daily lives. As we live our lives, we have to be comfortable with the concept of failure. Failure is not an endpoint. Failure is an opportunity for new beginnings and improvement. In this episode, I review ten steps that I follow to be successful in my life and ways to stay encouraged and inspired.

In episode 5, I had the pleasure to speak with Jamicka Edwards. She is a mother; self-published author and motivational speaker, and marathoner. Jamicka wrote her first book titled, “YOU MATTER” as a way to fight back against forces in her life that had her feeling as if she didn’t matter. In writing this book, she wanted to inspire other people through a collection of stories of how she impacted people; and, how they impacted her to be the phenomenal woman that she is today. Her story is a true testimony of using your challenges as fuel for success. She is strong, courageous, determined, and unrelenting in following her dreams.

In episode 4, I had the pleasure to continue my conversation with James as we grapple with the concepts of 'nice' vs 'kindness'. Being kind is a choice. Being kind is an action word. To be kind is a conscious decision that one makes when interacting with others.
This is part II part discussion.

In episode 4, I had the pleasure to have a candid conversation with my friend (James Ravenell II)about finding the courage to move past his divorce. James was very honest about the pain of going through a divorce and the impact that this experience played in who he is today. I was overwhelmed at this honestly but he reassured me that he was comfortable with our conversation and didn’t mind me publishing the entirety.
This is part I of a II part discussion.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with McKenley Mason (aka Dis Deacon Runs). What started off as an interview, quickly turned into a beautiful conversation where he shared his thoughts on COVID-19, as an over 60 yrs athlete; and how he continues to inspire and encourage others to live their best lives through being a role model of his faith and love of fitness.
McKenley's humble upbringing and search for brotherhood helped shaped the man that we see today. Please listen and remember to SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW! Tune in and SHARE!!!
