Have you been feeling off lately?

Low energy.
Struggling to focus.
Second-guessing your discipline.

And wondering… what changed?

In this short episode, I open up about how perimenopause has impacted my productivity, motivation, and identity as an entrepreneur.

This conversation isn’t clinical, just real.

More women are finally speaking up about what they’re experiencing, and it’s time we talk about how it actually affects the way we work and build.

In this episode:

  • Why your productivity might feel different right now
  • The moment I realized it wasn’t laziness—it was my body changing
  • How to adapt your side hustle strategy to your current capacity
  • Why we need to normalize these conversations in business spaces

If you’ve been feeling lost, confused, or “not like yourself”… this episode will help you make sense of it.

REWIND Episode!

We’re taking it back to one of the most-loved episodes of last year, originally titled "How I Leveraged my 9to5 for Entrepreneurial Success". because the lessons here are timeless for every side hustler balancing a 9to5.

In this REWIND, I open up about the strategies I used inside my corporate role that directly fueled my entrepreneurial growth. If you’ve ever wondered how to leverage your 9to5 as your training ground, this episode is packed with gems you can apply today.

Highlights you’ll revisit:

  • Leadership lessons that stick – how I mastered navigating tough conversations and built confidence as a leader (skills that now power my business every day).
  • The art of communication – my insights on recognizing and adapting to different styles so you can strengthen your client and business relationships.
  • Networking that actually works – the strategic moves I made at company events to turn casual chats into meaningful collaborations for my side hustle.

This conversation is proof that your 9to5 isn’t just a paycheck—it can be the launchpad for your entrepreneurial success.

Has social anxiety held you back from growing your online brand?

Join us for this rewind episode as we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month.

In this special rewind episode, we're revisiting a powerful conversation from May 2021 with my dear friend and influencer, Charmaine Daudu.

Back then, Charmaine had a loyal following of 200K across her social media platforms and YouTube channel, but the idea of public speaking was terrifying for her. 😫

When I first invited Charmaine to be a guest on the podcast, she politely declined. Despite her growing success as an influencer, the thought of speaking publicly about her journey was overwhelming.

However, she asked me to hold her accountable and follow up, thanks to our pre-existing friendship.

As a good coach and friend, I followed up a couple of months later, and she said yes! We dove into a conversation about overcoming social anxiety, the misconceptions people have about YouTubers, and how Charmaine uses manifestation to accomplish her goals.

Charmaine's journey from declining the invitation to confidently sharing her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and support.

Don't miss this inspiring rewind episode!

Everyone has been hearing more and more about ChatGPT and other AI tools that seem to have completely taken over how we communicate.

- What you should understand about AI and how it actually works.
- The ONE thing that most people actually neglect doing when using AI.
- The 3 important factors that everyone needs to take seriously about information from AI.

But what happens if you notice a gap in the type of network you need? You create one! Well, that’s what this week’s guest - Sherley Joseph, Founder of Black Canadian Creators - did when she noticed that she couldn’t find a way to connect with other Black Canadian creators.

In this Episode, Sherley shares her story of starting a podcast before it was as popular as it is now, and where that journey took her.

She also talks about:
- How she was able to turn a frustration into starting her own community.
- The lengths that she had to go to in order to get noticed by her peers.
- The biggest advantage that comes from building a digital community.

"When it comes to systems, you don't have to wait until you "blow up"! Just because you're a small business doesn't mean that you can't run like the big corporations do." - Sasha Belle

Having a system should be a given for any business owner, but where do you even start when you're new to the game? What is all this talk about a System, anyway? It sounds complex, right? It's NOT! It's supposed to make things easier.

During our conversation, we cover:

  • some essential tools that will help you stay in your zone of genius.

More about Sasha:

This episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers is answering all of those questions for you!

Is it just me, or did 2022 do the ABSOLUTE most?!

That's okay though, because life is one BIG lesson anyway. If you listened to the episode from a couple of weeks ago about the 4Rs to help you feel productive at this time of year, the first R was REFLECT! (Be sure to go check out that episode to hear the other 3). So... As I reflected on the year, I realized I had many challenges (as did many of us) but WHEW did I have a lot to C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, since you like being In My Business and I don't shy away from sharing the highlights as well as the lowlights - I do just that for the entire year.

So I'm going through it all, including:

  • my biggest challenge and how I overcame it.
  • my biggest lesson and what I learned.
  • my biggest WIN and how my challenges got me there.

In This episode of The Shine to FIVE Method for Side Hustlers, my guest is Rhonda Armour, Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Life Coach, Certified Personal Trainer & Author will talk about:

  • how to establish self-care habits and strategies for the long game.
  • how to adapt and pivot your self-care and still be consistent.
  • how to adjust your Mindset to see the value in maintaining healthy habits.

As a Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach, Personal Trainer, speaker, author and entrepreneur, Rhonda understands the demands on time for today’s woman feeling torn between career and home life. Self-care often falls last on a long list of priorities. She once lived this life and understands it’s not easy putting yourself back on the priority list, especially if you have struggled with programs and diets that have left you feeling frustrated and confused. Rhonda wants you feeling empowered and back in the driver’s seat! There is no one-size fits all approach and Rhonda's approach is custom and it’s all about you. She wants to end that roller coaster and the shout of internal voices that question your willpower, capability, and commitment from programs that simply haven’t supported your life.

Rhonda develops a dynamic and comfortable partnership with her clients based on honesty and trust and enjoys working with the motivated, but stressed-out woman who is ready to live their best life and understands that it’s not a straight line to success.

Earlier in the year, I talked about "The Great Resignation", which sounded like a movement of people leaving their unfulfilling jobs for better opportunity. Now the new buzz term is "Quiet Quitting", but the definition actually should not be taking literally!

At what point do you turn "Quiet Quitting" to ACTUAL QUITTING? In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, we will cover:
- Breakdown what it REALLY means when someone is "quiet quitting".
- What you need to do if you identify with this term.
- How I help clients through their own process when they relate to the term.

"We really have to believe that these things are possible if you truly want them to work". -Lindsay Sims.

You have to become detached from the outcome in order to reap the rewards of your behaviour. You can't strive and strain or stress over what you want because instead of pulling it towards you, you're going to push it away.

My guest in this episode for Side Hustlers is Lindsay Sims! You'll hear:
- How to gain authority for your website by borrowing authority on other platforms.
- How to better measure your success beyond just looking at your sales.
- How to market to people based on their Mindset.

Lindsay Sims is an entrepreneur, educator, and coach with a knack for reducing entrepreneurial noise and increasing the digital literacy of small business owners. Her leveraged years of experience (including a Ph.D. and her work as a Grow With Google Digital Coach) led her to develop a unique marketing program for small businesses. Now, she focuses her efforts as the Founder and CEO of 30 Day Funnels providing small business owners of diverse backgrounds with no-gimmick, no-fad strategies to leverage their digital marketing so they can step away from overwhelming and get back to what they actually love.

I know I may sound like I’m contradicting myself here BIG TIME, but there are 2 sides to everything and that includes procrastination.

Which kind of pro are you? Are you a PROcrastinator or is this a part of your PROcessor?

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, I challenge the status quo when it comes to people's perception of Procrastination. There is actually a chance that you may not actually be procrastinating based on the actual definition! But of course, this is within reason. Don't you DARE go saying that CJ told you it's okay to procrastinate now!

Here's what's covered:

  • Identify why people make excuses.
  • How to find the "right time" as an Over-thinker.
  • How to identify if you're actually a PROcessor.

“There’s so much hype about the overnight success and ‘go big or go home’... I think that the slow burn does not get the credit that it deserves.”

- Dallas Travers

If you’re still waiting for everything to fall into place perfectly so that you can become an overnight success, I’m going to need you to stop what you’re doing and hit play on this episode! This week, I’m sitting down with business coach, author, and podcast host Dallas Travers to talk about how to use The Ripple Effect System to grow your online business with more ease.

You may already know Dallas as the host of the Coaches on a Mission podcast (I was a guest on a recent episode!) or have read her award-winning book, The Tao of Show Business.

Dallas’s Ripple Effect System breaks down the process of growing your business into layers and teaches you how to build the smart habits that will help you create traction, get more done, and build a successful business WITHOUT getting stuck!

Listen now to learn how you can attract more clients (without fancy branding), get good at selling (without even selling), and create list-growing collaborations.

We talk about everything from:

  • The habits that you can pick up TODAY to help you achieve more over the next year
  • What you need to do BEFORE you narrow in on your niche (this may surprise you!)
  • Why you need to toss out the myth of the overnight success — and how that myth keeps side biz owners stuck in their 9to5 for longer than they need to be!

“Sometimes, when you just let go of the wheel and you trust the process, it is AMAZING the things that will fall into place… whether it’s clients, other opportunities, collaborations, whatever it is.”

- CJ

In this episode, I reveal one of the most difficult things I’ve EVER had to do (or at least one of the Top Five most difficult).

And I promise that is NOT just me being dramatic!

One of the most challenging things I’ve ever had to do… is to let go and surrender. To pause, reflect, evaluate, and pray — and have faith and trust that the process is going to do right by me. Now, I know that many of us don’t have the strongest relationship with Trust but, like any relationship, you CAN work on it and build it up to a whole new level.

Trusting the process really means trusting YOURSELF, trusting that you are doing the very best that you can. After all, why would you do anything less for your business?

I KNOW that you’re out there being too hard on yourself and piling on the pressure. It’s time for you to hit pause on your struggles and hit play on this episode, because when you surrender and start trusting yourself, OPPORTUNITIES will find YOU!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • How shifting your mindset will help your best customers and opportunities find YOU, instead of the other way around!
  • How healing the relationship with your inner child will actually help you become a stronger business owner
  • What happens to us when we put too much constant pressure on ourselves — and why letting go is more productive than hustling

Highlights:‌ ‌

00:56 Intro

01:51 Surrender

02:51 My relationship with trust

03:44 How I deal with detours

04:26 Pressuring ourselves

05:09 Say NO to hustle & YES to the Universe

06:56 Surrendering IS NOT doing nothing

08:47 Trust yourself!

“The decline you may be experiencing right now in your business has nothing to do with your skillset… it’s not that people don’t see the value in what you offer.”

- CJ

Times are tough… but you are tougher! 2022 has brought us new levels of inflation and some very difficult decisions to make. But even as business may be slowing at this time, you have to power to make changes, pivot, or push your way through the tough times. You are RESILIENT — after all, you made it through 2020.

The changes in the economy may have led you to lose some clients (I’ll be honest here, this has happened to me too) and you may be starting to feel discouraged. But the state of the economy doesn’t reflect your worth. Your skillset is every bit as valuable as it was before, you just need to take a step back, reevaluate, and make some shifts to the way you run your business.

In this episode, I share not only the four questions you NEED to ask yourself whenever your business begins to slow down, but I share my OWN struggles with the challenges of 2022.

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • How to figure out whether you’ve placed yourself and your side-biz in a box — and how to get back out of it
  • What you need to work out in order to pivot in a way that keeps your side-biz RELEVANT
  • How to expand your business and create new revenue streams during slow periods

Highlights:‌ ‌

00:55 Intro

02:43 Inflation & the impact

03:59 Economy, entrepreneurship & risks

05:19 Are you wearing blinders?

06:25 How will you pivot?

08:07 What skills can you tap into?

09:24 How badly do you want it?

“Boundaries are limitations… and if you don’t limit certain people, and the access they have to you, then lines get blurred and it makes those relationships very difficult.”

- CJ

This is a very important episode about a topic that every entrepreneur ( and every woman) needs to master. That’s right, we need to talk about BOUNDARIES. Even though boundaries are incredibly important, we often struggle with setting them up and MAINTAINING them. Boundaries can come with a lot of guilt, especially for women!

But as an entrepreneur or someone with a side biz, it is ESSENTIAL that you communicate them… and remain firm.

What does it look like when you’re running a business without boundaries? It looks like clients calling you up at 9 pm. It looks like customers with demands that make no sense and leave you scrambling to keep them happy. It’s a whole lot of unnecessary stress that you wouldn’t be dealing with — if only you set boundaries and stuck by them!

In this episode, I share three important things to keep in mind when setting your boundaries. And remember, the harder a boundary is to set, the more necessary it is!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • How to determine the Who & Why of your boundary — and what it will do to improve or protect your wellbeing
  • How necessary boundaries will actually benefit BOTH sides (yes, including the person being limited!)
  • Examples of ways to communicate and enforce biz boundaries with customers and clients

Highlights:‌ ‌

00:56 Intro

01:48 Definition of “boundary”

02:51 Who & Why

04:35 Assessing your boundaries

06:29 Where to start with boundaries

“You need to put yourself first — that is ultimately what it comes down to.”

- CJ

This episode is designed to help you feel inspired, validated, and reassured on your entrepreneurial journey!

If you’re on the verge of leaving your 9to5 and turning your side biz into your full-time (or even just starting to think about it), then you may be dealing with a little bit of guilt. Maybe your job has given you valuable training opportunities or you’ve been promoted. Maybe your coworkers or managers heavily rely on your skills. You may feel like quitting your job is a type of abandonment… even if being there makes you feel miserable!

There are a few very good reasons why your guilt is misplaced — and why you should NEVER let corporate loyalty hold you back from following your dreams.

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • Why you should NEVER feel guilty about leaving a corporate job, no matter how many opportunities they give you
  • Why the guilt can secretly be a good thing — and what feeling that guilt REALLY means
  • How to know when it’s time to move on (even when you’re getting promoted)

Highlights:‌ ‌

00:55 Intro

01:46 That guilty feeling

03:31 Guilt doesn’t go both ways

- CJ

Do you have what it takes to become a good Entrepreneur?

“ALIGNMENT, to me, brings to mind harmony, support… one thing complementing the other. It makes me think of my values.”

- CJ

In this episode, I want to talk about one of the biggest myths circulating in the entrepreneurial world.

As busy entrepreneurs, we all DESERVE some rest and relaxation, but somehow we still wind up struggling to get everything done so that we can actually schedule time off…

…in other words, we are all trying to find Balance!

The truth is that there is really no such thing as balance. Life will never, ever run out of curveballs, which means that there is no way to remain in a static state of balance. Every time you think that you’ve found balance, what happens? That’s right, the pendulum swings and you’re thrown off-kilter again! Plus, what looks like “balance” to one entrepreneur won’t work for another. We all have different needs when it comes to our time.

Balance is a myth. What you should really be trying to find is ALIGNMENT.

Finding alignment in your life can help you to reach your most desirable results personally and professionally, whatever that looks like for you! You can think of alignment as creating a line between where you are now and where you want to be — press play now and get ready to start mapping out your path!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • The major differences between finding Balance and finding Alignment
  • How the language we use can start to shift our mindsets
  • The questions you should be asking yourself in order to find alignment

Highlights:‌ ‌

00:55 Intro

01:57 No such thing as balance

“Just because you have a name and logo out there, that doesn’t mean you own it. You actually have to trademark it in order to own it.”

- Cynthia Mason

Are your business name and logo unprotected right now?

“No matter how hard it is or how long it takes, I am meant to do this. Because the universe conspired to get me here.”

- CJ

In this episode, I welcome you In My Business again! In my monthly In My Business episodes, I share my personal journey and experience of becoming an entrepreneur — even the icky, challenging side of things. (Because running a business isn’t all sunshine and roses, as we all know!)

This is an episode for MEANTrepreneurs™, not WANTrepreneurs. It focuses on the period just before I took my side biz to centre stage — before I stepped into my power as a coach and entrepreneur.

I want to tell you about how I manifested my own layoff in 2015.

While being laid off may not seem like a happy day for most people, it’s something that I spent six months energetically manifesting… and it was the start of the next great chapter of my life!

If you’re ready to start the next chapter in yours, and want some tips on how to make things happen, listen now!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • How I put the energy out into the universe that eventually led to my big shift
  • How I started to gather the tools that I’d need even before my layoff happened
  • What I did during the layoff process — and how I surprised the HR team in more ways than one!

“It takes a village to grow a business.”

- CJ

Is your emotional attachment to your side biz holding it back from growth?

When you decide to take the first steps toward following your dream and building something of your own, it’s only natural to feel emotional about it. After all, your biz is your baby! But when it comes to building a successful business, it’s all about STRATEGY, not pride or fear.

If your emotions are getting in the way of your strategy, then you have a problem — and it’s a problem that can keep your business from growing.

You can’t make objective decisions about your business if you are TOO CLOSE to it. If you want to scale successfully, you need to let go of the emotions that stop you from seeking out other people’s opinions, accepting their feedback… or even trusting them to take control of parts of your biz.

Yes, your business is still your baby, but it takes a village to grow it!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • Why you need to find trusted sources of feedback, rather than being your own only resource
  • Why you need to shift into a CEO mindset, rather than an employee mindset
  • That you’re far less isolated than you think — and how you can benefit from finding your people!

“I say “side biz” — The word “hustle” gives the impression of having to be constantly on the go or you won’t grow.”

- CJ

If you’re working a 9to5, that means that you’re spending most of your time working on SOMEONE ELSE’s dream. But while building your biz alongside your 9to5 can be complicated, it can also come with some serious benefits, like valuable training or learning opportunities that you can leverage to help you grow your own biz more quickly.

Many, MANY womxn are growing successful side businesses while still working in their 9to5s… but many also feel boxed in by their 9to5s and are tired of feeling like they’re stuck in a cubicle.

So, what will it take to move your side biz to the main stage??

In this episode, I dig into the employee mindset shift you need to make, the importance of finding balance, and how to come up with your 9to5 exit strategy. If you’re tired of the 9to5 grind and want to turn your passion into PROFIT, tune in now!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • Why referring to your biz as a “side hustle” can take away from the true meaning and value of what you’re building
  • How finding alignment between your 9to5 and your side biz can help you grow
  • How to develop your 3D Exit Strategy for saying goodbye to your boss and becoming a boss yourself!

“A great idea does not easily convert into an empire.”

- CJ

Are you a WANTrepreneur or a MEANTrepreneur™?

If you don’t come up with a business plan, set your goals, commit to consistency, and put in the work, then I’m sorry… you are a WANTrepreneur. If you’re a MEANTrepreneur, then YES — you are on the path that you are meant to be on!

“There are things that I’m really, really good at. But I always KNEW, deep down, that I wanted to be a coach.”

- CJ

As business owners, we feel like we are the only people who know what it’s like to stumble while trying to build a business — or have trouble even figuring out what TYPE of business to BUILD. But sis, you’re not the only one. Not even close.

Maybe the 9to5ers don’t get it, but many biz owners have travelled those same paths! I’ll tell you right now: I HAVE. This episode is all about me and MY business… and what I’ve learned from my “false starts.”

Like the time I was going to start a not-for-profit.

Or the time I started a skincare line to sell body butters.

Or the lifestyle blog I wrote for YEARS.

Not EVERY idea you come up with will be a fit for your goals, lifestyle, and passion… and that’s okay. Listen now to learn how I narrowed down my business goals and prepped for success BEFORE I left my 9to5!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • Why I quietly transitioned away from the skincare line I started (even though it was taking off)
  • What you need to ask yourself BEFORE you decide to go all-in on your side-gig

“If you’re feeling stuck… you’re NOT stuck. You just THINK you are, because you have been conditioned to believe you need a 9to5 to survive.”

- CJ

Do you have the mindset of HAVING a boss? Or BEING a boss? If you’re looking to break free from your employee mindset, then this is the episode for you!

If you’re still working in your 9to5 and think you need it to survive, then you have an employee mindset. We’re conditioned to think that we need the security, predictability, and stability of a steady paycheque — and a boss to give it to us.

If you’re happy with that 9to5 life, more power to you. Many people are happy working their 9to5 alongside their side-biz, and that’s great. But if you’re looking to let go of that employee mindset, step CONFIDENTLY into entrepreneurship, and learn how to take time off WITHOUT guilt — you’ll want to hit play and take some notes!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • A breakdown of the beliefs and motivations that make up an employee mindset
  • 4 simple tips to help you break free from the employee mindset
  • How to easily build reflection and side-biz goal-setting into your regular schedule

“There’s a difference between being good at a hobby and being passionate about something, and running a BUSINESS.”

- CJ

Are you running a side-biz… or do you just have a really expensive hobby?

Maybe you had a great biz idea or took an online course that sparked a new passion, and you tried to turn it into a revenue stream. When you discover something that you’re REALLY good at, it’s only natural you’ll think about turning it into a business.

But many biz ideas are abandoned just as quickly as they’re started.

Why? Because they don’t deliver REAL RESULTS… and there’s a reason for that! Just because you can do something really well, that doesn’t mean you can turn it into a successful business. If you want to make the shift to entrepreneur and turn your side gig into your only gig, you have GOT to have a PLAN!

In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method with CJ, you’ll discover:

  • The top 3 questions I ask biz owners trying to leave the 9to5 WITHOUT a business plan
  • What you need to think about if you want to build a successful side-biz that fits into your lifestyle
  • Exactly what having a proper business plan will help you do!

What do you do when things don’t work out the way you planned? More importantly, how do you learn from that mistake or that failure?

Because when you are able to pull yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going, taking that wisdom with you - that’s where the magic happens.

My guest on the podcast today is Celina Caesar-Chavannes, Entrepreneur, Author & Former elected official - and she has made some mistakes in her life. And she wrote the book to tell about it.

She wants you to know that you can have success after making a lot of mistakes.

And sometimes those mistakes CAN turn into your biggest lessons, but only if you let them.

In this episode of the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ we are talking all about:

  • How to know if you have what it takes to succeed at entrepreneurship
  • Learning to pause when you fail to find the lesson you need to learn and how that process can change everything
  • How you can get the support you need to succeed as an entrepreneur

And never forget, that YOU as an ordinary person doing ordinary things have the power to change the world.

Celina Caesar-Chavannes is a business consultant, coach and international speaker. She
currently serves as the Sr. Advisor, EDI Initiatives and Adjunct Lecturer at Queen’s University
and her memoir, “Can you hear me now?” was published by Penguin Random House Canada onFebruary 02, 2021. She was the former Member of Parliament for Whitby, Parliamentary

Introducing a NEW segment! From Bustle to Boss highlights success stories of womxn of colour who have made the transition from employee to Entrepreneur.

Chances are you are feeling kind of over your 9to5, you have a great idea for a side hustle and it’s all you can think about while you count down the hours until you can log-off for the day.

While it can feel like your day job is holding you back, there is actually a lot you can take away from it while you grow your business.

In fact, Monique says that your employee mentality and attitude will affect your side hustle and the type of boss you are in your business - that’s why it is so important to shift your view of your job and work on seeing how you can leverage it instead.

If you want to learn more about how you can leverage your 9to5 to help you grow your business so you can happily leave, then you need to listen to today’s episode.

I had an amazing conversation with Monique about how she was able to learn and use her job as a jumping point into starting and growing a successful business.

We talk about everything from:

  • How watching the processes and marketing at her job helped her learn what she needed to do in her business
  • How she was able to use her former bosses as her biggest source of referrals for clients when she was starting out at her business
  • Why there is no perfect time to quit and some things you can do to make it easier and plan to leave

Dr. Monique J. Caruth, DPT is the CEO and President of Caruth Staffing Agency P.C. She is a three-time graduate of Howard University in Washington D.C. and currently serves as secretary of the Academy of Home Health of the American Physical Therapy Association and also is the e secretary for the Maryland APTA.

Part of entrepreneurship is taking risks and trying new things - and Imma be real with you - they aren’t all going to work out. Personally, I have felt like a failure many times.

The important thing is how you handle your so-called ‘failure’ and what you are able to take away from it.

In today’s episode of the SHINE to Five Method with CJ, I am sharing with you about a big idea I had that flopped - how I pretended it didn’t even happen for years - and what I was able to take away from it and how it as a stepping stone to something bigger and better that makes more sense for me and my business.

Even though I felt like a bit of a failure at the time it was definitely NOT a failure.

Maybe you are struggling right now too - maybe your idea flopped or you aren’t getting the traction in your business you want. YOU are definitely NOT a failure. Look at what you can learn from the experience, try and see what it is trying to tell you and how you can shift to try something else.

I’m dropping some F words on the podcast today - False Starts & Failure.

I want you to wipe those words from your vocabulary. It doesn’t matter how many times you have to start over, as long as you are starting. It doesn’t matter if you try something and it doesn’t work out the way you wanted - at least you are starting and doing.

We have been so conditioned in school that you either pass or fail, but it’s time to wipe that thinking from our brains. In entrepreneurship - and in life - there is no such thing as failure. There is no such thing as a false start.

When you try something new you are opening yourself up to the possibilities.

In this episode of the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ podcast, I am helping you reframe your ‘failures’ and your ‘false starts’.

I will give you some questions and guidance to turn those experiences into learning what you do want and showing you that it’s all part of the journey and that every single step you take is getting you closer to where you want to be. What you are meant to be doing.

Listen now, then go find what sets your soul on fire and keep searching until you find it.

Today on the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ I am sharing a personal story with you. I’m going right back to the beginning when I started my business. I’ll be honest with you.. I struggled - A LOT.

Entrepreneurship is hard. It really is very very difficult, it’s not for everyone. Some people you come across will just talk about the great stuff but I am the type of person that keeps it real.

I am passionate about helping women like you make the journey from employee to entrepreneur; and so I want to share about the hard days, the days where all I could do was cry and threw my hands up feeling so dejected.

Because I want you to know that this is real life and it’s all part of the journey. If you are struggling right now - I want you to know that it’s OK.

If things aren’t picking up or going as smoothly as you hoped. If you feel like no one is supporting you or like this is never going to work. Go listen to this episode and remember that it will all get better. It’s all going to work out.

After listening to this episode you will know that you are not alone, you will have some great tips to help you deal with the challenges of the journey. And remember If you ever need support, reach out to me. Send me an email.

The holiday season is upon us, Christmas is in a couple days and if you are working a 9-5 along with your side hustle, that usually means taking some time off work.

If you are anything like my clients, you are probably planning out what you are going to get done in your business during your downtime.

AMIRIGHT?

Having a business and a job, I know that your “free time” is when you get your work done for your business BUT I also want you to know that it’s ok for you to take a break this holiday season.

You work hard, you are being pulled in so many different directions - give yourself permission to rest.

In this episode of the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ Podcast, I am sharing tips to help you better enjoy the holidays - without worrying or stressing about your business.

I’ll be giving you a pep talk about:
😌 How to put yourself first and prioritize your self care
😎 Setting boundaries for yourself around when you are working and when you are not
😁 How to let go of the guilt around taking that time for you

You work hard all year, and there is no point trying to pour from an empty cup - you can’t pour energy into your business that you don’t have.

So whatever it is you need to do for yourself this year. Go listen to the episode and give yourself permission to take the break.

Happy Holidays! Be merry and take the break

If you aren't sure where to start when it comes to setting boundaries, then you need to listen to this episode. We talked about everything from what redefining love is, why it's important to establish boundaries in business to setting up internal boundaries and giving yourself permission to show up and take up space in the world.

As a Pregnancy & Postpartum Fitness Coach, Reena was surrounded every day by diet culture and snap back mentality. The one that portrays ‘healthy’ as being a lean and toned smaller white woman.

She started to realize that this wasn’t a realistic goal for most people and that strength and health comes in many shapes and sizes and she wanted to share this idea with her community.

Reena and I are talking all about how she started shifting her messaging and the way she did business to start showing up in a way that didn’t dismiss people’s experiences and that gave the middle finger to patriarchy and white supremacy that diet culture is rooted in.

Reena shares how hard it was to disrupt the industry in this way and how rewarding it has been to push past that to leave her own mark on the fitness industry.

She now teaches women to break old thought cycles and beliefs and accept themselves the way they are, and shows women how to navigate and find balance between their culture and heritage and North American culture.

We are talking about everything from becoming body neutral to getting to the real reason behind why women want to lose weight and look a certain way to snapback culture after pregnancy and so much more juicy goodness.


Reena Parekh is a business owner, pre and postpartum fitness specialist, speaker and mental health advocate. She is a proponent of change in the fitness space, encouraging her clients and community to embrace their bodies and pushback against postpartum bounce back culture.

From secondary school teacher to maker of luxury bags Cherie is sharing her incredible story of how she stopped waiting around for a teaching job to open up and decided to trust herself and her talents and start her own business instead.

Leaving her teaching career behind and starting her own business was a huge risk for Cherie, but it was something that was put on her heart that she couldn’t stop thinking and dreaming about so she knew she had to take the risk and go all in on her dreams.

Cherie learned a lot along the way and shares it all with me on today’s episode of The Shine to FIVE Method. Including:

  • How family support was so important to her success
  • Her top tip for keeping your mental health in check
  • The importance of rest and self care
  • How to keep going when the going gets tough

Be sure to listen right to the end for how Cherie deals with self doubt - it’s a good one that you can take away with you and use in your life.

Cee Wee Designs creates wearable art for the professional woman who is not afraid to stand out. The aim is to create dynamic pieces which allow the woman wearing it to “Stand out. Be remembered.” When she’s not designing bags or working on her business, Cherie spends her free time assisting with her church choir. Her dream is to one day start a children’s community choir.

Sandy feels she’s been truly blessed to have some amazing experiences in her life so far. Met her boyfriend at 16, married him 11 years later and divorced 3 years after that (became a single mum and ended up with $100,000 of debt and on welfare) then discovered the Law of Attraction, became a master at manifesting and turned it all around.

She’s climbed to the highest camp on Mt. Kilimanjaro, meditated in complete silence for 10 days, watched the wildebeest migrate across the Serengeti, trekked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, dived with dolphins in Hawaii, wandered markets with Moroccan nomads in the High Atlas, white water rafted down the Zambezi and was helicoptered off Mt. Everest where she almost died trekking to Basecamp.

She’s swum in Sacred Mayan underground caves, flown by helicopter over Victoria Falls, danced with Masai tribesmen in Kenya, traveled to over 52 countries, gone from welfare to millionaire, written a bestselling book, won multiple business awards and been personally invited by Jack Canfield to be a member of the world’s most awesome group of transformational leaders, experts and authors on the planet!

Sandy loves showing women anything is possible.. and then empowering them to break through their blocks, manifest more money and create a life they’re truly passionate about.

Are you afraid to be seen?

This often manifests by hiding when you don’t want to use your voice, procrastination, taking courses, finding anything that needs to be done instead of the thing you NEED to be doing.

Does this sound familiar?

We have been raised in a culture where we have been conditioned not to stand up for ourselves or speak out so it can feel pretty darn uncomfortable when you have to stand out and be seen.

Luckily, my guest on the podcast today is here to talk about how to use your voice to create the life you DESIRE.

Sylvia Otvos is a visibility coach who helps women in their prime trust and use their voices so they can market themselves with confidence, attract more clients and create the abundant life they desire.

She is sharing some key tips to getting past that fear of speaking up and being seen to do the things and stand up and be seen.

You will discover:

  • Some key questions you can ask yourself to help move past the fear of showing up
  • The techniques Sylvia uses to help her clients change their story and show up online
  • How you can use your voice in your personal life to set boundaries and create a life that you desire

When you think about hypnosis, do you picture someone swinging a watch back and forth to put someone into a zombie-like state of compliance?

Well you can throw that old stereotype out the window. The reality is that hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you overcome what is holding you back.

Have you ever had a big goal, and you knew what you needed to do but for some reason you just couldn’t do it? Hypnosis can help.

Today my guest on the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ is Brooke Alexander, founder of Created Mind Academy, and she is dishing the goods on all things hypnosis and other behaviour techniques you can use to push through what is holding you back so you can go out and do the things.

She explains that hypnosis is actually a really relaxed state that you go in and out of all day and that you won’t see a dramatic explosion of change, but rather something subtle that shifts in you that you might not even notice at first but come to see more and more over time how your behaviour and patterns have shifted.

It’s so interesting and something I have been wanting to learn more about for a while, so I am really excited to share this episode with you.

If you are curious to learn more about this powerful tool and how you can use it to empower yourself, this episode is for you.

Have you ever skipped down the street and not had a big smile on your face? It’s pretty much impossible. In this episode of the Shine to Five Method podcast, I am talking with Kericia Gowrie, a fitness coach who focuses on improving the way ‘everyday’ people move and experience life, all about movement and the powerful impact it can have on your mindset.

Kericia teaches that movement is the foundation of your life both for your physical health and mental wellbeing. And explains how your body is truly your one true permanent home, it helps you show up and engage with life and that’s why it’s so important to take care of it through movement.

In this episode she shares her tips for starting and sticking with a fitness routine and the secret behind why a lot of people don’t keep up with it, and why starting your day with movement is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

If you are looking to shift into a more active lifestyle or just want to know more about how you can use movement to improve your mindset, then this episode is for you.


Kericia grew up swinging off tree branches and climbing fences to get away from dogs in Trinidad. Her early love and passion for movement heavily influenced her education and career path. She completed an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Health Science, and a postgraduate diploma in Workplace Wellness and Health Promotion and went on to work within the health and fitness industry in both the private and public sector as a Movement Specialist, Personal Trainer, Mentor and Educator. To date, Kericia has prepped and mentored hundreds of Personal Trainers in the industry with a focus on improving their client's quality of movement. She currently operates her own fitness coaching brand @thelabto that focuses on improving the way "everyday" people move and experience life.

Dr. Thabo believes in the power of turning pain into purpose and struggles into strength.

When she was a 14 year old girl she lost her mom and made a promise that she would become a medical doctor one day. She didn’t know it then, but that promise was the beginning of a journey to step into her power and purpose.

Trying to keep her promise to her mom, she enrolled in medical school at 22 with no idea how she was going to pay for it. She went on Oprah’s website hoping to find some kind of scholarship or grant she could apply for - but she found something that ended up being so much more.

She was invited to be part of Oprah’s Lifeclass on you Become What you Believe in October 2011. As she sat on that stage surrounded by these incredible women sharing their stories of struggle and pain and how they turned that into their purpose, she began to reflect on her story differently and was able to connect her pain with her process of becoming who she was meant to be.

Everything shifted in her at that moment.

Now she teaches and mentors women and young girls who are going through hard times. She helps them see those struggles through a different lens.

That when you allow yourself to be in that moment and let it teach, transform and empower you, the answers will come.

Listen to her incredible story of resilience and hope that light comes out of the darkness.


Nothabo Ncube “Dr.Thabo” is an International TEDx Speaker, A Coach to Women and A Mentor to Young-Girls. Having overcome her own personal and professional obstacles, her powerful story encourages this generation to face their challenges and conquer them. Her story led her to meet the media mogul, Oprah Winfrey and just recently she shared her life journey on the TEDx platform. Through a whirlwind of inspirational lectures, round table discussions and media appearances on stages such as Global News TV, she positively influences, challenges and reconnects youth with their passions. She uses incredible wit and candor to empower young girls and women. Dr.Thabo envisions a world where all people are given the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves, not only to dream bigger dreams, but to create and shape the world they have always desired. Having lost her mother at the tender age of 14, at her mother’s death bed, she made a promise to her to be a doctor in Zimbabwe. Destiny led her to Canada where she and her family found themselves living in Community Housing in Toronto, subjected to social ills that could have deterred her from her path, despite these circumstances she rose from the ashes. Her journey leading to the fulfillment of the promise has been one filled with loss, pain, failures, mistakes, resilience, courage, faith, hope, grace and overcoming adversity. Through her dedication to make global impact,

She was nominated by Women of Influence and Royal Bank of Canada for the 28th Annual RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards/Inspiring Group for the 2nd year in a row, selected as Top 4 Immigrant Women of Inspiration/Influencers in Canada by The Canadian Immigrant Magazine. She is now on a mission to empower, to educate, to encourage, to enlighten, to inspire, to uplift and to motivate this generation to use pain as a pedestal toward the pinnacle of purpose.

Caryn works with people in the Greater Toronto Area who are looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest in property in the local community.

She'd been following the real estate market for over 15 years, and in the middle of Covid,  decided to get her Real Estate License. To date she has helped several clients with their real estate goals, and she wants to help you!

The best praise she's received from a client was: "We're happy to have chosen Caryn as our Realtor for our move. She was friendly, punctual, and diligent in finding exactly what we were looking for. Once we're ready to make our next move, we'll definitely be coming back to Caryn". Helping people like Alisha and Tyler find their dream rental property like that, makes her so proud and drives everything she does!

If you're looking for a Realtor who is friendly, diligent, and passionate about helping you achieve your real estate goals, she'd love to work with you too!

When she's not helping people make their next real estate move, she can be found spending time with my family and friends, in the kitchen whipping up delicious meals and desserts, shopping for her next shoe or closet addition, watching the Raptors, ordering take-out from her favourite local restaurants, or watching the latest fashion shows (virtually for now).
