    Surviving and succeeding after a job loss with Portia Charles.

    What If you were laid off tomorrow and you had the option to do something different, what would that be?
    This week on Defining You, I’m resharing my interview with Portia Charles, attorney and principal at Charles Law Practice, who was laid off from her corporate job, and was left to contend with the real issue, of what’s next: Should she get another job, or should she start the law practice she’s been dreaming about for years.
    So if you’re new, or you might have missed this extraordinary episode, here’s your chance to listen again. Listen as Portia recounts her incredible story of choosing to follow her childhood dreams of being her own boss and carving her own path. I think you’ll get some real value out of this episode.

    Creating your best life from the inside out with Celeste The Therapist

    Hello everyone! The Defining you podcast is on break right now, but I wanted to give you another opportunity to listen to some amazing episodes I truly enjoyed.
    There is no doubt that racism has been the ugly part of our history as a nation, and that we black folks are still seeing the effects of the disenfranchisement even today. In this particular episode I had an incredible conversation with a dope black therapist, about how we do get a say, on how we live our lives, and that we can be happy, even when the deck is stacked against us.
    Celeste Viciere, a licensed mental health clinician, and mental health advocate, focuses on the black community, and how we can take control of our own destiny. She’s a bestselling author, and host of the Celeste, The Therapist podcast. Through her work as a therapist, she discovered that we have a responsibility to ourselves, and our families to live the best life we can, from the inside out. 
    So if you’re new, or in case you might have missed this episode, here’s your chance to listen again. Listen for the new ideas that are going to open your mind, to a brand new way, to look at your world, and start creating the happiness you've been looking for.

    Life as an undocumented immigrant with Felicia Persaud

    Life as an undocumented immigrant with Felicia Persaud

    Hello there! Although I am on a brief break right now, I thought now would be the perfect time for you to go back and catch up on some of those episodes you might have missed.
    In this episode I talk to Felicia Persaud, CEO of Invest Caribbean Now, an avid advocate for undocumented immigrants and Caribbean national rights, who shared her own undocumented experience.
    This conversation is especially fitting considering the recent undocumented immigrants lured from a Texas shelter and sent to Martha’s Vineyard by plane unannounced last week.
    Persaud, came into the United States legally through her government job, and found herself overstaying her visa when a family member became ill and she stepped in to take care of her. 
    Felicia represents a segment of the population that falls through the cracks in the system, but she didn’t let that stop her from speaking to congress and starting her own Public Relations firm.
     If you’re new, or if you might have missed this episode, give it a listen. If you have ever felt disenfranchised by the system, listen for the clues that will open your mind to your own power in this story of will, perseverance and conviction.

    And don’t forget to like my Facebook page and follow me on Instagram @helenajnow for updates on new episodes. Talk to you soon.
