This is the fifth and last episode of Jackie's five-part podcast series: The SHIFT.

Jackie recaps key insights from the previous episode: "Be Your Best." She shares how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speech "I Have A Dream" inspired her to believe that she was meant to be a leader and how his statement, "Everyone can be great because everyone can serve" inspired the name of her podcast and business. She discusses how journaling or just writing your thoughts down on paper can help you gain greater awareness about a situation such that it shifts your perspective and your response to it. She reminds listeners that all of us are influenced by our childhood conditioning and it's up to us to choose if we will allow it to define what we believe we are worthy of experiencing now.

In the last episode "Bold Moves," Jackie's intent is to inspire, encourage and motivate you to believe that the SHIFT you want to experience is not only possible, but it's also doable by YOU.

Insights You'll Learn

• Living boldly is making time for self-care on a regular basis to make sure your cup is full.
• Living boldly is admitting your mistakes as a mature adult and learning from them.

Have you found yourself going through the motion more so since the start of the pandemic?

Have you noticed that you aren't able to focus as much as you use to?

Do you find yourself waking up in the mornings feeling tired and unsure why?

In this solo round, host Jackie Capers-Brown shares her thoughts about the importance of acknowledging what you are feeling when you experience a disruption that changes how you are accustomed to "doing" life.

Jackie challenges listeners to consider what might happen if they don't take command of their lives within the scope of their control NOW as they navigate their approach to the pandemic or any other disruption they may be experiencing in life.

She shares why it's important to have a "compass" that helps us to direct our thoughts, feelings, and actions when we are faced with challenges and opportunities.

She suggests actions listeners can take to calm their "fight or flight" nervous system response when they feel danger, perceived or real in order to better manage their thoughts, feelings, and response to diverse situations amid a challenging time.

She invites listeners to take command of their life, own their power to trust themselves, be fearless, walk by faith, and show up in life with a dose of badassery toward creating new realities in life..

"You can't control what people think about you, but you can be proactive towards asking for feedback to keep your finger on the pulse of people's perception of you in order to be authentic and strategic towards how you show up as your best self", says host, Jackie B.

For the 75th episode of my podcast,  I decided to record a solo round discussing the initial experience that taught me the importance of humility as a leader, AND the habit of consistently asking for feedback from my bosses and team members and why it helps you to stand out..

The actions I took inspired by this experience helped me to build influence, consistently meet and exceed expectations of my leadership positions, enabled me to create impact by developing leaders without tiles on my teams and delivering results that helped to position me for stretch opportunities and management promotions that led to becoming an executive leader with Marriott Hotels.

The simple strategies shared in this episode helped me to start the process of building a toolbox of strategies that I  continue to refer to today as a  business leader.

Happy Listening.

Are you brave enough to speak and live your truth? It helps when you've never bought into the notion that you have to be perfect.

Our guest today, Dr. Kasie Whitener shares fresh insights and her perspectives on what it means and feels like to come into the fullness of who you are, social unrest and the shame and guilt she feels about it and what she's doing about it, her controversial idea to end the 40-hour workweek as we know it and why it's her mission in life, and the importance of having a sense of urgency towards what it is we want to do in life.

Kasie Whitener is always thinking through the journey from where-we-are to where-we-want-to-be. As a self-proclaimed change junky, Kasie embraces the uncertainty of new beginnings and enjoys the roller coaster lifestyle of entrepreneurism.

I have a few close friends who call me “kid” and always have and my LinkedIn “branded” nickname is “Queen of How” because I’m a process junky.

How often do you get the opportunity to get up close with a political operative who is passionate about the role she plays in helping to make the U.S.A. a more democratic society for the betterment of all Americans? Today, you have that opportunity by listening to the conversation I had with Melissa N. Watson.

Taking a leap of faith to chart a new path in her career led our guest Melissa N. Watson to becoming the Executive Director of Emerge South Carolina. Emerge South Carolina is changing the face of politics by recruiting, training, and providing a powerful network for Democratic women who want to run for office. Melissa believes women leaders are the key to making our communities and our nation a better place.

Emerge has one goal: To increase the number of Democratic women in office who are reflective of the incredible diversity of the Democratic party by recruiting, training, and providing a powerful network. Since 2002, Emerge has trained over 4,000 Democratic women to run for office, and currently, 690+ Emerge alumnae serve in office.

Although we discuss women, politics, and the role peaceful protest has on America's democracy, in this conversation the curtain is pulled back so that listeners can get an idea of the woman that is leading the movement to get more Democratic women elected into political roles in South Carolina.

We discuss a multitude of topics. The through-line of all the insights and strategies that Melissa shares during this interview is her commitment to becoming the best version of herself and encouraging and empowering the women that she has the privilege to serve to do the same as they go about changing the political landscape of S.C.

Here's What You Will Learn from This Episode:

• Why civil disobedience is interconnected in the democratic process to creating positive change in our society and the world

If you had an opportunity to sit down with a white friend to discuss white privilege and racial injustice, what would be some of the questions that you ask to seek first to understand his or her thoughts about these topics?

Well, this soulful conversation that I had with my new friend and writer Marie Gettel Gilmartin. aka Marie GG will shed some insights on how many of the white people who seek to ally with the Black Lives Matter movement think about white privilege and racism in the U.S.

Marie and I met on LinkedIn after I read her "real talk" article that she published which she discusses how white women use their tears as a weapon against black men such as Amy Cooper's reaction, the white woman who called the police on a black man in Central Park earlier this year and the inhumane treatment of George Floyd by police officers who are now charged with his murder.

Before you think that Marie is jumping on the bandwagon, she isn't. She's been a social justice activist for years. Her concern is genuine. She doesn't just talk about social justice, she takes action while inspiring others to do the same.
Here's a little more about our guest today.

Writing engaging content is one of Marie’s superpowers. As a writer and marketing communications coach, she helps people and organizations discover what makes them special and helps them share that with the world.

After working as a leader and communications manager in the corporate world for 29 years, she founded Fertile Ground Communications to help others bring their ideas to life. Because nothing gives Marie more pleasure than helping others tell their stories and get recognized for their accomplishments, She launched her podcast "The Finding Fertile Ground Podcast" soon after being a guest on this show.

Aaron Ashford is a husband and father. He graduated from S.C. State University with a B.S. in psychology. He received his M.A. in Counseling Psychology at Webster University. He's the business owner of Trancendence, Inc. which offers counseling, coaching, and consulting services. He is the author of three novels, Closure, Getting Closure and In the Moment.

In this episode, Aaron provides us with his perspective about justice in America for Blacks from his personal point of view as well as his clinical point of view.

Some of the topics that we discussed included, historically black folks have been sharing stories about racial injustices in the criminal justice system for years but people didn't see it, so they couldn't identify with it. No one who could see and have a heart could watch the video of George Floyd being murdered and not be affected by what they saw.

He shares that one of the reasons why racism remains a problem in this country is because no one wants to talk about it. He provides us with clear steps for Blacks and those who seek to be our ally's as to how to go about striking up these conversations.

He shares his experience of counseling prisoners at the Lee County Prison in Bishopville, SC, and how his conversations with these men many of whom had been imprisoned between the ages of 17-19 years old were some of the most intellectual conversations he has had which had a major impact on him.

We discuss the business of the prison industry and the correlation of the fact that 80% of those who are incarcerated are blacks when we only represent 13% of the U.S. population and how this fact is another form of slavery that is legal based on the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

In this conversation, we take listeners on an insightful voyage as we dig deep, come up for air with experiences from back in the day to the funny moments and the challenging moments. It's one you're going to want to listen to more than once, so make sure you download it wherever you listen to podcasts. And while you're at it, subscribe to the podcast and leave a review.

In this episode, host Jackie Capers-Brown shares information about her new summer podcast series, why you should tune in, and the importance of why ALL of us living in America should unite to transform our criminal justice system.

It has demonstrated systemic racism that leads to blacks, brown and poor people in this country being treated unfairly and given sentences much longer than whites who create similar crimes.

America's criminal justice system has created a culture of fear that has and continues to be supported by those in power who have promoted the narrative that "black men are criminal" and blacks are undeserving of equal treatment by the law as whites in America.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

It is time for the citizens of this country and others to use their collective power and require elected officials to reform our criminal justice system in America.

In day four of the Your Future Self podcast series, host Jackie Capers-Brown shares why it's important that envisioning who you can become can help you to step into the energetic frequency of your future self now.

When you connect the dots between your goals and the person you envision yourself becoming it helps you to identify if your goals are aligned with your life vision.

The days of focusing on a few key aspects of your life such as education, career, and financial success have provided us with enough evidence that this approach to living your best life does not work over the long term.

This is why during her Living Strong Inside-Out Masterclass, she has students complete a weekly exercise that helps them get clear about how the goals they aspire to achieve are actually aligned with the experiences identified in their life vision.

She encourages listeners to increase their understanding of how they fascinate people and what their innate strengths are by investing in Sally Hogshead Fascination Advantage Assessment and the CliftonStrengths Assessment.

She challenges the listeners with an envisioning exercise that involves several questions that begin with, "If I expected better of myself...?"

At the end, she reminds the listeners, "The future that you envision depends on who you become and what you do, today."

***Ep.3

Get Up Close & Personal With Your Desire***

Danielle Laporte asserts, "When you get clear how you want to feel, the pursuit will be more satisfying."

Listening to other people's limiting perspectives about what is possible in your life over time can result in agonizing self-doubt that leads to procrastination or giving up on your dreams and goals.

This is your time to develop the spiritual consciousness that will embolden you to allow Divine energy to flow through you and become a channel from which your soul's purpose is actualized.

Desire and fear are two sides of the same coin.

You can baby step your way toward manifesting your desire by accepting that you can re-train your automatic response to fear. When you decide how you will respond to feelings of discomfort when taking on something new, you will increase your chance of leveling up your capacity to take action in the face of fear to manifest your desires.

In This Episode You Will Learn

• Align your pursuit with your desire
• The 4 stages of spiritual consciousness
• Be the energy of what you seek
• Your strongest fears reflect your soul's craving for freedom
