In this episode, Shanika speaks with Christina Lor,  an amazing and knowledgeable Esthetician. Shanika met Christina when she was offering her services at femme X Columbia, which really inspired her to think outside of the box when looking for a place to teach private yoga and assisted stretching sessions. They start their conversation while Christina was roadtripping across the south and unfortunately they had to end the conversation due to spotty reception; but quickly picked up the following day and continued. In this episode, they discuss pivoting careers, thriving in chaos, keeping control, how women of color tend to be called “strong,” keeping their bodies in tune as they service others, and so much more.

Shanika is joined by her friend, Paige Cooper to discuss Hulu’s newest series, Pam & Tommy.  They discuss their love for Motley Crue (Paige) and Pamela Anderson (Shanika).  Paige tells a great story about her husband‘s Motely Crue tattoo.   How women have always been raked through the coals in media compared to their male counterparts.  Shanika shamefully (or shamelessly) crushes over Tommy Lee’s charm in the second episode (Sebastian Stan is playing the hell out of the role, y’all).  Talking appendages…yup.  Tommy’s and Pam’s past relationships.   How this isn’t a sex tape but an Exploit Tape.   Note: During the episode, Shanika talks about Pam Anderson’s other show, VIP and calls her Valerie Malone. Valerie Malone is a character from Beverly Hills 90210, and on V.I.P. Pam Anderson’s character was Valerie Irons.  Keep in Touch! www.selfcreatedpodcast.com selfcreatedpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/selfcreatedpodcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/selfcreatedpodcast Shanika Pichey: www.shanikapichey.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shanikapichey/ Jernell Simmons: https://www.instagram.com/jsnsimmons/ You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and Google Play Apple Stitcher  Spotify Google Breaker  Subscribe, Listen, Like, Comment, Share!

Heads up: there was a bit of an audio issue for the first six minutes of the episode.  What do you do when you have a set back? Say “Damn it all to hell!” and burn everything down. Kidding!

We both share situations where we’ve had setbacks and how we stay on track by focusing what is in our control.  We also discuss the new to us story about the heavenly time Eartha Kitt spent with James Dean and Paul Newman.
