Have you ever outgrown a friendship? Think about how many of your high school friends you still keep in contact with or if all your friends from college are still your friends now.

People grow at different rates, and our life transformations may not align with the friendship(s) we once had, but guess what? It’s completely normal! Outgrowing friendships that no longer serve us is a normal life experience. It doesn’t make you disloyal or a bad friend, and you shouldn’t feel guilty about ending an old friendship that no longer serves you. So, how do you know you’ve outgrown a friend?

In this episode, I share 3 Signs You’ve Outgrown Your Friendship.

It’s important to me that I keep a positive mindset especially during the most challenging moments in my life. We often find ourselves engaging in negative self talk and thinking about everything that could go wrong. I believe words have meanings and there is power in what we speak about ourselves and into our lives.

What if we spoke with more intention and replaced those negative thoughts with words that empower us?

In today’s episode, I share 7 Affirmations & Intentions To Get You Through The Week.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know my struggles with weight loss. I’ve spent most of my life sliding up and down the scale from when I was growing up, college weight and then trying to lose weight after having my two kids. In fact, I started my @HealthyJenell page after giving birth to my daughter where I shared my post-baby weightloss journey.

Through all my health and fitness up and downs, one of the most common questions I get asked is how do I stay motivated. As a wife, mom and entrepreneur, I know how difficult it can be finding time to exercise throughout the week. I’m here to tell you it’s not easy, but with some discipline and consistency, it IS possible.

In this episode, I share the 4 ways I stay motivated to work out.

Kalilah Wright is a designer and graduate architect. She started her first business at

12 years old when she created a “cool club” at school and charged kids a membership fee of $0.35 a week. Of course, at the time she had no idea that she would venture into being a businesswoman and entrepreneur.

There’s something magical about this time of year!
I love fall, but after the initial excitement of pumpkin-flavored drinks and sweater weather wears off, the shorter days and chilly temperatures can leave me feeling physically and mentally drained. If this is the case for you, too, you’re not alone. As the season changes, it’s natural for our moods to shift too. Experts have confirmed that a decrease in daylight can affect our sleep, energy levels, and social ability.

While it’s essential to take steps to protect your mental health all year round, the change in seasons may require extra support. We need to be proactive to prevent the fall and winter blues from setting in. This year, I’ve decided to make a commitment to protect my mental health by picking up new hobbies that support me in a positive way.

Today I want to talk with you about some of the hobbies I plan to take on and I’ve thrown in a few hobbies that I personally won’t be doing but I do think they will be great for you.

Many of us know that we feel better after “a good night’s sleep” and more grumpy or foggy if sleep deprived. And there is now robust evidence similarly supporting that sleep is critical to not only our physical health but also our mental health. Poor or insufficient sleep has been found to increase negative emotional responses to stressors and to decrease positive emotions.

For some, skipping sleep is a sign of strength and productivity and success. But is being exhausted goals?

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I’ve talked about my struggles with my weight. I’m the person who gains weight in the even years and then loses it in the odd years.

Without a doubt, a hobby can become a career, and who better to prove this than someone who has lived it as a reality?

Meet today's guest, Simone Agoussoye, a Visual Artist, Graphics Designer, Mentor, and Teacher.

In this episode, Simone describes her experience as a budding artist, offering insights into common challenges artists face, her passion for art, and key points from her success in the art world.

Episode Highlights:

• [[01:21] How Simone and I met for the first time - she wasn’t too happy with me by the way.
• [04:10] About our guest, Simone Agoussoye.
• [06:48] Simone's art career started right from childhood when she did a portrait of herself and knew that she wanted to be an artist.
• [10:54] The most difficult part about being an artist is pricing your artwork; it was a huge surprise for Simone as she realized how much people would pay for her art!
• [12:58] About Commissions: This involves being paid to create a painting for someone based on what they want and how they want it. It can constrain creativity due to the demands of the client.
• [16:09] Making out time to offer guidance to artists has been hugely important to Simone, especially because she didn't have any mentorship. She helps artists feel confident enough in themselves to charge good prices for their work because many people are truly amazed by their art.
• [23:54] How Simone uses Instagram reels to market her artworks, talk about her pricing, and help clients know what to expect from her. She also uses her content to inspire other artists as well as creators.
• [28:22] Compared to her other forms of art, Glass Art has appealed to Simone most deeply.
• [31:49] Simone wants to be remembered as someone who stood up for the culture, supported black women, and helped other artists be proud of their work by selling at their worth.
• [34:21] A lot of parents would rather encourage their kids to focus on education more than what they love doing because of the mindset that such hobbies would not be lucrative.
• [36:30] Simone's biggest win was when one of her works was featured in a Museum in DC, and won the People's Choice Award and a monetary award.
• [39:35] This lesson applies to any field; whether you're a coach or seller, raise your prices to the actual value of your worth. Connect with Simone on Instagram.

Takeaways:

• You need to just go back to what you like; something that you can call your own.
• We lose touch with the things that we love doing because something else happens.
• Just because we are naturally talented at something doesn't mean that we can't live off of that talent.
• You can make something beautiful out of what is broken
• There's endless money in the art world, and your art is worth it.
• A lot of kids don't know that something they enjoy or do as a hobby could become a career for them.

This episode of the Look on the Bright Side Podcast is sponsored by Prevent Child Abuse America

Healthy children become healthy adults. And healthy adults contribute to a more productive, equitable, and flourishing society.

Prevent Child Abuse America is the nation’s premier organization committed to preventing child abuse and neglect before it happens. A pioneer in the field for the past 50 years, PCA America is uniquely positioned to lead the movement to help children and families thrive—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. Their approach works at two levels—boots-on-the-ground programs as well as actions that impact systems-level change.

Evidence shows that stress and trauma caused by childhood adversity can interrupt healthy child development, and affect how the body responds to stress, putting children and adults at lifelong risk for health issues, like mental illness, depression, heart disease, and substance use problems, as well as economic consequences such as diminished educational achievement and job opportunities.

Sex education has always been a difficult topic to discuss with our kids, and it's only getting harder. However uncomfortable this may be, you’re the right person to do it for your kids.

One of the most common parent worries is how do they start having a conversation about sex. Do you sit your kids down one day and have a serious conversation? Do you leave them brochures or books on their bed? What's the best way?

As a parent, you cannot rely on the school system to provide sex education for your children. In many cases, schools provide no sex education at all; in others, the information provided is often inadequate or one-sided. Even if your child's school provides a very good sex education course, it may not begin until a time when your child needs your guidance on this subject.

You should begin talking to your child long before they start asking you questions about sex education. If you do not, they will get their information from other sources that are unreliable, wrong, or incomplete.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Casey Wike, a mom, wife, sex educator, and parenting coach who has been in education for the past 13 years. She has a wide range of subject area expertise and has taught Pre-K through college-level courses as well as training teachers and parents. Casey now runs her own business, supporting parents and caregivers one on one and in small groups to help them feel comfortable and confident when talking to their children about subjects such as sex, relationships, and their bodies.

I love a good conversation! Especially when that conversation leads to actionable steps I can use in my business to make money. We know what the statistics say about WOC entrepreneurs.

• [00:14:36] The mindset it takes to launch your business vs. scaling to six figures may not be the same. Learn how scarcity thinking shows up and how to stop it from interfering with your growth.
• [00:15:21] This is how you lose millions in revenue waiting on validation from others and what you should do instead.
• [00:19:45] Overanalyzing can cost you once in a lifetime opportunities- Listen as we share coaching strategies to overcome procrastination.
• [00:24:56] Ever heard of an "Absolute List? Learn how this tool can give you the clarity to make decisions with confidence.

It's my biirthday!!! So today, I am getting super intimate with YOU - my community of supporters and listeners.

We're talking about the importance of your "why" and getting clear on the factors that motivate you. If your why is big enough, nothing will stop you from reaching your goals. But if your why isn't strong enough, then even the slightest obstacle will seem like an insurmountable hurdle.

Now, you know I'm all about Looking On The Bright Side, but I realize that the exercises that I take you through during this episode can bring up many raw emotions; however, my promise is that there is clarity on the other side that can be healing.

As you listen to this episode, I encourage you to go deep.

So ask yourself this: WHY, Why am I doing this? And more importantly, is my why big enough?

Episode Highlights:

• [00:00:45] It's my birthday - here are two ways you can support me
• [00:04:36] The catalyst for this episode and why this exercise is vital to keeping you going.
• [00:07:49] Why my coaching digs up the sometimes painful truth that we keep hidden - and what happened the MOMENT I shared my story beyond the surface level.
• [00:11:20] Level One: The number one reason most will quit and 4 "questions beyond the question" to motivate you when you're ready to throw in the towel.
• [00:12:45] Level Two: What I want everyone listening to the sound of my voice to know - even if they aren't my client.
• [00:18:57] Level Three: I love to share tactics and solutions with you guys about telling your brand story - listen as I take you through another layer of my brand story that I don't share with the public- but it influences everything I do!
• [00:22:20] There are latchkey children, and then there are the thousands of girls who grew up like me. Join me to share the intimate details of my childhood growing up on Staten Island.
• [00:26:26] What the birth of son taught me about commitment and feeling the fear and doing it anyone
• [00:31:10] The Power of Persistence and what staying the course and how I made one of my wildest dreams come true- taking care of my mother and step-father so that they can enjoy their retirement.
• [00:39:59] What I want you to take away from my story

I believe you're busy from the carpool drop-offs, demanding work schedules, to just plain ole tired. I've heard the excuses and even leaned on a few myself. Nevertheless, deep down inside, you and I know that you would build your brand IF it mattered enough. Excuses keep you from moving forward year after year. So let's commit to putting in the work now - even if you start small.

In this episode, I want to talk to my "would-be" entrepreneurs and influencers that feel like they don't have time to build their brand. Let’s break down how I would manage my time if I only had one hour a day.

Show Highlights:

• My life as a teacher, wife, mom, and emerging boss and how I learned to prioritize my time
• One hour of committed time is worth more than a life full of regrets and missed opportunities.
• How to stretch an hour and use the power of the compound effect.
• A resource for the time-starved budding entrepreneur and the truth about what you can accomplish in an hour.
• First comes the platform, then comes the content - This is the type of content I would concentrate on
• Surprising but true, Content that makes the biggest impact isn't on Instagram - here is where I'd put my content if I only had one hour

Takeaways:

• One hour a day will not build a multiple six and seven-figure empire; however, that doesn't mean that you can't take advantage of the compound effect! Small habits done consistently have been known to open doors and opportunities.

How are your finances?

If that question makes you squirm in your seat, we need to figure out why? Are you scared to face the credit report? Does the idea of investing send shock waves through your system? We waste time operating in fear mode instead of taking the actions that move our finances forward.

I love to talk about building your business and offering you solutions to common challenges around that, but today I'm switching it up just a little. I'm joined by a financial coach and friend, Bella Jones, and she's sharing Smart Money Moves that you should be making in your 20's, 30's, and 40's.

• [00:17:03] You only live once - YOLO - is the vibe, right? Not so fast - These are the three smart money moves for your 20's.
• [00:30:34] Where are my 30 and over listeners? Your 30's require that you get serious about these three things - Bella breaks down the actions we should be taking in our 30s
• [00:37:13] Hello, 40s - we know this generation is full of wisdom, and now its time to turn those life lessons into a killer investment portfolio and prepare for retirement, but that's not all - Bella has one more tip for women in their 40's

Takeaways: * There is so much fear around earning and managing money. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear money blueprint that you can use in your 20s, 30's, and 40's * The power of a budget, good credit, and owning assets are the key components to healthy finances; Unfortunately, communities of color aren't having conversations around these topics - Bella Jones is here to change that. * Want to share this episode with your family and friends?

What about your friiiends! (in my 1990's TLC voice) Welcome Back, Loves. It's time for a Look On The Bright Side. However, today it won't be easy because we are talking about unsupportive people.

Negative people can pick apart a dream or idea and leave you doubting yourself if you give them the power to do so. In this episode, I share how to handle unsupportive friends, comments, and everything in between.

Episode Highlights:

• [00:04:00] How negativity shows up in our lives
• [00:06:52] How to deescalate conversations
• [00:07:40] Lack of support or valid concerns -- how to discern
• [00:08:40] How our bodies react to negativity
• [00:09:49] Whatever you do --don't respond like this
• [00:14:21] A lesson in redirection

Takeaways:

• Dealing with unsupportive friends also means that YOU and I have to manage our triggers, leading to better outcomes.
• Learning how to deescalate arguments and strategize is a necessary skill in business and romantic relationships - by developing this skill, you can create synergy in all relationships.
• Creative entrepreneurs need to surround themselves with positivity - without creating environments where your team - or partner- feel comfortable telling you their concerns. The tips I shared in the podcast will help you keep the communication lines open while protecting your energy.

Hey Loves! Today I'm answering a question I'm often asked "why the heck did I quit my successful YouTube channel and begin selling courses?"

Leaving my YouTube channel wasn't a really hard decision and in this episode I share exactly why it was so easy for me.

But you know what was really hard? Making the decision of what I was going to do next. I knew leaving my YouTube channel would effect my brand revenue because my income was tied to the work I did on my YouTube channel. I spent a year brainstorming what I would do next.

Should I go get a job?
Should I do uber?
Should I just stick with this?
I was so unsure of what to do next!

After meeting a woman named Danielle Leslie at a tech conference, I was inspired to make my first online course. I had no idea what topic my first online course would be but I finally decided to create an online course teaching people something I knew how to do really really well.

Tune in for the full in depth story.

Hey Loves, Welcome Back To The Look On The Bright Side Podcast. I've Got A Story To Tell.

It starts with a pandemic, a house "full of folks," and a creative entrepreneur named Jenell. Spoiler alert: the story involves chaos.

But with chaos comes lessons that lead to a happy "ier" place. In this episode, I share how I find my happy place daily by making gratitude journaling part of my daily habits.

I want to share this tool with you to create daily habits that lead you to look on the bright side.

Episode Highlights:

• [00:09:14] Discover what gratitude journaling is
• [00:11:01] The science of gratitude and its positive effects
• [00:12:56] How to literally get "high" off positivity
• [00:16:59]Get a sneak peek of my highly requested gratitude journal/planner for work, life, & fitness
• [27:30] How to join me on Patreon for The Gratitude Challenge

Takeaways:

• Life isn't perfect for me, you, or Beyoncé'. As creative business owners, we will have challenges which is why I share daily habits that will help you Look On The Bright Side.
• In the beginning stages of our businesses, relationships, etc., we tend to show gratitude for every moment and opportunity. Once those blessings require work to maintain, do we become less grateful for them?
• Opportunities to be grateful are all around us. They can be big or small. They show up in acts of service from "bae" or expressed as words of affirmations from our babies. Actively seek opportunities to both give and receive gratitude.

We live in a world where people are excited about how they look online and are easily impacted by social media numbers, likes, comments and views (or the lack thereof). Is it more important to have more value online than you do offline?

Welcome to the 2nd episode in my Cultivating Your Value theme. If you missed the first episode, check it out here first. Today we are going to discuss a concept that I recently learned after reading "Don't Keep Your Day Job" by Cathy Heller. When learning how to express your true value it's best to understand what role will best suit your strengths and interests. In this episode I break down the idea of "4 archetypes" and I will help you discover how you can turn your passion into a sustainable career.

My second theme we're going to dive into for 2020 is Cultivating Your Value. This is going to be so impactful because as a business coach I am meeting so many creators who want to start new platforms and have new business ideas, but they themselves don't recognize their value and they don't believe in themselves. They show me this through the things they say and do. I want to share with you the strategies they've been taught by me to hone in to their value on a deeper level.

My first theme that we're going to dive into for 2020 is Start Before You're Ready. This is going to be so impactful because as a business coach, as a course creator, I am meeting so many people that I have to continuously motivate to do this very thing.

Today we are discussing the fear of starting. If you're someone that is often fearful and usually has a hard time with moving past your fear to make the decisions you want to make or do those things that you've set up for yourself to do here are the things that I do.

I'm sharing what I've done to make the transition from what I think I want to do and actually doing it and how this has guided me to move past fear. With these steps that I'm sharing I don't have fear and I'm always able to take the necessary steps in order to get from point A to point B.

I recently came back from a work retreat with my business partner. We visited Bonaire. I’m not sure if any of you have ever heard of Bonaire, it’s a small island not too far from Aruba, Curacao, and South America.

One of the things we did amongst all the fun in Bonaire was brainstorm ideas and layout the plans for my Digital Content Creation School for 2020. We came up with lots of ideas for trainings, webinars, freebies, masterclasses, courses, podcasts and more. All of this information is shared through my email list. If you’re not on it already, sign up here.

As we were coming up with ideas for podcast topics we came up with this idea for me to share the business tools that I’m using to run my business. And I loved this idea. I was so excited, I just couldn’t wait to record this episode. I know that there’s so many of you out there that want to become business owners and social entrepreneurs. Some of you want to start a blog and you’re not always really sure what tools you should use to help you do some of your day to day tasks.

And while I know that my line of work may not align with everyone’s line of work, but maybe you have a hobby or a side hustle where something that I’m going to share today can absolutely help support what you’re doing. If you’re a content creator or someone who plans to sell courses one day then all of the tools that I share today or at least most, will be in line with with tools that you need.

We all know the detriments of putting ourselves down. When we tell ourselves we’re not good enough too many times, we truly begin to believe it, and for many people, mornings aren’t the easiest. The feeling of getting out of bed to exercise, go to work, or take on any other responsibility we feel obligated to do is tough. But that’s because we make it tough. We tell ourselves Mondays are the worst. We tell ourselves it’s too early to exercise. Thoughts begin to circulate in our heads regarding all the things we have to do, all the things we should be doing, and all the things we actually want to do but don’t feel like we deserve or have time for. This negativity only brings on stress.

Mantras are words or phrases meant to be chanted either internally or out loud as a means of meditating. They originated about 3,000 years ago in India, at least to the Vedic tradition, in which they were used to influence and control the gods. Throughout history, they have continued to be used in various ways to promote transformation. In our modern day Western world, they are often seen as a means to shifting our perspectives in order to welcome a new sense of self. In the words of Buddha, “What we think, we become.”

To help you find the beauty in each day, and at every moment, try changing the way you view yourself in this world by incorporating these 31 motivational mantras. You can read one every day for the month, write them on a sticky note, store them in your phone, tweet them or just say them to yourself.

Anyone who knows me would probably think I'm joking if I said "I need therapy", because I've got it all together. At least that's what the outside of me shows. What they didn't know is every morning I was turning into Momster. I was literally a crazy maniac that was initially verbally abusive and then eventually physically abusive to her son. Things got so bad I didn't know who I was anymore. I knew it was time to get some help.

Hello everyone. Thank you for tuning into the Jenell B. Stewart podcast. I am your host Jenell B. Stewart and award winning beauty editor. The Jenell B. Stewart podcast is a weekly lifestyle podcast designed to educate, empower, and engage episodes, touch on various topics of our lives, including health and fitness, loving marriage, entrepreneurship, parenting, self love, and much more. My goal is to have youth feeling uplifted and inspired after you listen to each episode.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Welcome to episode 31 hey y'all. It's your girl Jenell B Stewart. I know it's been a minute. My last podcast episode was January 2nd and that episode I talked about, I did like a recap of 2018 and then I shared with you like my impossible goal of becoming a millionaire and what I plan to do and what not. And I've been away for a while. You know, working on my school. That's part of the goal to become a millionaire is to grow my school and have my school develop and become something that will help to support my community, my community of women. Um, if this is your first episode that you've ever heard of me of mine, then um, let me just take one second to tell you that I am the founder of the digital content creation school and I started this school in December of 2018 as a way to help content creators that are coming up. Like I did get the support that they need and get the tools because content creation is a field that many people create on their own. We're not necessarily going to college for it, we're not getting degrees in it, but we typically are self taught and I wanted to help speed up that process of elevation for my members by giving them the tools that they need to figure it out.:

Whether you're doing a blog, whether you're doing a youtube channel, a podcast, or selling online materials like an ebook or a course. I wanted to make sure that my community had those tools and I knew that they wanted it because they were asking me for it. So I already had that available to me to know like there is a need. And so I just aim to deliver and I have a very giving spirit as you guys know. So creating this new business venture

Take My Digital Content Creation Training Course

Training courses help build self confidence and wisdom but most importantly they get you inspired to achieve your goals. I have a FREE 1 week Content Prep School training that will teach you the essential skills and techniques you need in order to grow your digital brand from the ground up. My training answers the question "How do I start?", giving you clarity on how to grow your brand so that you can make money. After 1 week you will have wisdom and self-confidence.

If you think great leaders are born and not made, think again. Successful leaders have a clear, sound vision of where they want to go but they had to develop this ability. Training gives you the chance to step back from your daily responsibilities, to examine your brand, and to think about how the future may unfold. You’ll learn how to communicate your vision in a way that truly motivates the people around you. I want to empower you to succeed. My training course uses various techniques and examples to emphasize the point that with a little hard work we all have it in us to be great leaders.

My trainings take place on Mondays, take the first step and enroll now. You will be well on your way to success come Monday.

Ready to grow a 1k followers on your Instagram in months? Here's how!

Seek Out A Professional Mentor

If you have goals that scare you it's time to get mentoring. You can reach out to someone like me who works with women to scale and monetize their brands or someone who does something that you want to be doing. You never know if someone offers mentorship or what they charge for it until you asked. My first mentorship program was $1k and I made 6 figures as a result. Wouldn't you say that was worth the investment? Set up a call with me here.

Whatever you do, make sure you make the best out of this new year!

If you choose to be in a committed relationship such as marriage, you must accept that you will have disagreements. I don't always agree with my mom, my best friend or even my business partners. Disagreements are part of relationships, it's very unlikely that you will always agree with your husband.

Some disagreements will escalate into fights and when this happens our emotions go wild and at times we lose control. Logic and reason go out the door and we become so upset that we resort to cursing, extreme emotional reactions and in the worse case we become violent and physically abusive.

In podcast episode #2 I share with you how I've learned and practiced fair fighting in my marriage.

Anybody trying to lose weight goes through a similar journey. You start out on fire. You’re motivated to exercise and it’s easy to say ‘no thanks!’ to junk foods. Making healthy choices feels effortless. But then, you hit a rough patch. Unexpected challenges and unforeseen complications take you off track. Suddenly, everything you were doing right, has morphed into a hot, frustrating mess. Your motivation is gone. Exercise seems inconvenient and you’re craving all of those foods you’ve left behind.

I’m very happy to bring my readers and viewers–YOU–a new component where you can engage with me, a podcast. In my first podcast I discuss my struggles with weightloss motivation and I give you 4 tips that if you begin implementing them today and re implement them any time you begin to fall off track you will be back in the game strong.
