Go and Glow! with Natasha Cole

Hey Glowers! This episode of Go and Glow! is an interview with fashionpreneurs Gaby Ortega and Liz De La Cruz-Jean of Alma Mei, an online fashion boutique that donates a percentage of every purchase to non-profit organizations. How cool is that, right!? 'Alma' which means 'Soul' in Spanish and 'Mei' which means 'Beautiful' in Mandarin expresses the spirit of the woman who embraces her sense of fashion as well as her sense of purpose. The Alma Mei girl doesn't just look good - she gives back to her community. Check out the hashtag #LookGoodDoGood to see the 'Beautiful Souls' out there spreading awareness for different causes. Based in Miami, Gaby and Liz share their entrepreneur and philanthropic journey, the impact their brand has had on the fashion community and the Latina community, and jewels on relationship building and collaboration. They also give great tips on how to manage a full-time job, a family and a personal life all while running a business. To shop with Alma Mei, or to find out how to partner with them for events, fashion shows and/or charities, go to www.AlmaMei.com.

Hey Glowers, Today's podcast episode is an interview with San Francisco based reporter and journalist, Melissa Hellmann, who reports on news, arts, culture, health, education, politics and design, and who has traveled to over 20 countries! Melissa is a former colleague of mine from when I lived and worked in Shanghai, and at the time of this interview she's living in Hong Kong and interning for TIME Asia and reporting on Hong Kong-China relations and international affairs. In our interview, she talks about the cool stories she's worked on, some awesome backpacking-in-India tales and other traveling experiences, and the importance of chasing her dreams and having the courage to change careers to work in her passion. A great quote from Melissa in regards to working on her craft and interning before she had her dream job was, "I didn't want to spend my entire day doing something that I wasn't especially interested in, so I needed to have a few hours in the day to do something I was really proud of." And a great jewel about not giving up after she made some mistakes was, "You have to fail to realize what you're capable of doing better." To read some of the stories she's covered and to follow her travel adventures, go to www.MelissaHellmann.com.

Hi, Glowers! This is the first Go and Glow Podcast episode. In this episode, I discuss how being uninspired in my career led me to travel and live abroad and experience life in an extraordinary, more meaningful way. If you're feeling uninspired, unmotivated and you can't seem to figure out how to live a more powerful, purposeful life - listen to this podcast and write down and reflect on the 8 questions I ask myself and my coaching clients. 1. What's great about your life this week? 2. How have you grown this week? 3. How did you serve yourself this week? 4. How did you serve others this week? 5. Who and what are you grateful for? 6. Who's grateful for you? 7. What did you learn this week? 8. How would you rate your life this week, using a scale of 1-10? Develop a routine of asking yourself these questions every week and jotting down the answers in a journal. Hire a Life Coach, mentor or assign someone to be your accountability partner and start that project you've been wanting to start. Get out of the monotonous routine of going to work everyday and then going home to watch reality TV. Start living on purpose. Start serving others. Start serving yourself. Figure out what it is you want to spend your extra time doing so that you can turn that passion into a profit with a purpose! Go and Glow! xo, Natasha Cole
