Marcos, creator of Videosync.  This Girl, Dr. Drea, tells her personal journey of how her passion for dance became her purpose when unexpectedly in 2017, J.

Marking a historical day, This Girl podcast host, Daisy pays tribute to Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II by sharing a BONUS episode highlighting the power of obituaries (obits).  Contrary to what most might believe that obits are NOT about death, obituaries happen to be all about a life well lived. In fact, the obit is a story depicting the person's life providing the individual an opportunity to live once more.   Since you all know that Daisy does not believe in coincidences, a few years ago on several occasions she was exposed to the topic of obituaries by being recommended to see the HBO documentary "If you're not in the obit, eat breakfast" hosted by Carl Reiner - a must see.  Then in the same week, she stumbled across the movie with Shirley MacLaine, "The Last Word", which illustrated the significance of this section in a newspaper.  This peeked her interest even more and she went down the rabbit hole on the impact of obits.  Daisy spent a few weeks exploring this topic. In particular, she researched how people make it into the New York Times obit pages.  As life should have it,  there is actually a documentary dedicated to the New York Times obit section department since it happens to be a dying art, "The Obit: The Last Deadline".  Daisy's inspiration is an invitation to her listeners to take the time to write their obit, since you still have time to change or add to your story! What would it say?

Easy Publicity Opportunities During their insightful conversation, this Jersey Girl wasted no time to offer some insight (free advice) for moms and woman entrepreneurs, she shares some very powerful nuggets of wisdom for any woman looking to turn her passion into a business: Know What You Want: Be steadfast in knowing your goals be it in business or in life. Too many people are out there to tell you NO, that what you want isn't possible. Stay the course and continue to ask. Tell Everyone: A good idea needs to be nurtured and shared, you never know where a conversation could lead. Many entrepreneurs are afraid that if they share their ideas then someone will steal them. Someone could try to "copy" you but no one in the world will create what you can. Ask the Right People: I firmly believe that plainly asking for "it" is the most important. Simply know what you want and go for it. Once you know what you want and you tell the right people your idea, now it's time for the ask. You are not asking for a favor. You are enrolling someone in the belief that this is a possibility and you are going to make it happen.

In this episode, Daisy and Audrey have a fun, loving conversation how when faced with adversity creativity can open doors and opportunities not foreseen when comfortable. In March, when the entire world was asked to stay home due to global pandemic; Audrey came up with the idea to capture this moment, in particular in her neighborhood.  She visited her neighbors and offered her professional photography services to capture them on their front door #allstoopedup while shooting the photos 6 feet apart.  What sparked this passion project for Audrey was when she heard in the news that school children where going hungry across the USA since the schools were closed and parents were losing their jobs. So, in lieu of payment Audrey requested donations to the Community Food Bank of NJ, raising thousands of dollars to help those in need. For more than 15 years, Audrey has used her gift to capture real life moments with her camera and charisma to tell family stories.  She is a storyteller with pictures.  Her infectious personality, grace and professionalism while shooting sets her apart from the crowd. If you want to freeze time and capture your children at a certain stage in their life, she's your girl!  Audrey explained to Daisy that she noticed that so many families were stuck at home experiencing beautiful moments and she wanted to help them capture them since they would someday treasure these family memories.  As a photography iphone teacher, she realized that she had the skill set and creative calling to help families around the world to catch these moments on their smart phones or cameras; so she shifted her business once again and offered a new service, Virtual Session Shoots.    Daisy was awe struck to see the quality of the photos created virtually.  You must visit her website and see the blog,  You will want to book a virtual, asap!

On her journey, she discovered that she needed to create a business that had soul and connect her customers with Mother Nature’s healing powers. We might not be able to go to Bali, but Daisy and Joanne share with us the importance of having a morning ritual practice to bring more purpose and clarity into your daily life.  Joanne explains that by setting aside 5 – 15 minutes to do some breath work, set a intention, and mediate or pray for a few minutes every morning, can be life changing.  She reminds us Moms that we wash our teeth everyday, we wash our clothes, but when so we wash our minds? Clearing the mind with deep breathing opens space in our heart to welcome peace. Right now given the current situation, Daisy wanted to provide a resource to all by giving you some tips on bringing a higher positive vibration into yourself and your home.  Joanne suggests two stones that are a must to remove the negative and bring in the positive: 1) Clear Quartz  - The Mother healer. Clear quartz is heals all energies in the body.  Since it is clear it is open to the entire spectrum of light. Clear quartz energizes and clears all blockages. 2) Black tourmaline – Helps to get rid of all negativity.  It is a grounding crystal, that helps neutralize electromagnetic radiation. A stone of protection and purification ~ it absorbs negative energy and creates a protective energy shield around your home.

This Girl Daisy created this podcast as a digital “family room” to provide moms with a much needed self care PAUSE in their day offering tips, tools, and resources to become a better mom, better wife, and simply a better YOU!   This year one of the premier parenting resources reached out to Daisy to become a Miami Moms Blog contributor.  She was honored to have been selected, but since she always loves a good story and also loves sharing a good resource, she invited founder and owner, Cierra Bragan, to make big announcement about their 2 year VIRTUAL birthday bash...where all you Moms are invited! In this episode, Daisy and Cierra have an uplifting conversation about the importance of moms coming together since we know motherhood is “hard but it does not have to be lonely”, says Cierra.  Cierra shares with Daisy that out of her own personal need while expecting her second baby, she “birthed” the Miami Moms Blog as a business.  Not being native to Miami, and becoming a new mom in an unfamilair city can be daunting. She realized there was a need to have a trusted source that moms could turn to for everything dealing with parenting (since babies don’t come with a manual).  Therefore, Cierra brought “Miami Moms Blog” part of the City Moms Blog Network Sister Site to Miami. She explained that there are nearly 90 sites across the country dedicated to connecting local moms.  The Miami Moms Blog provides resource guides from finding the right preschool to family friendly hotels & restaurants, to photographers to party planners and so much more For now two years, Cierra has been living up to her goal to encourage, equip and empower Moms in Miami with relevant content and a meaningful community, online and offline.  So in showing her gratitude to this wonderful community of moms, Miami Mom Blogs is planning a Virtual Birthday Bash on Tuesday, July 21st – 8 – 10pm.  Visit their site for tickets.  It will be a fun night for Moms to virtually connect and have some fun.  The team at Miami Moms Blog got creative and will have a DJ, giveaways, cocktail demonstrations and much more.  Daisy and Cierra invite all Moms to give the kids to Dad for one night and get ready to dance in your living room. Stay Informed with the best mommy resource in town.  Visit Miami Mom blog website https://miami.citymomsblog.com or Follow Miami Moms Blog on Instagram, and Facebook  Let’s get this sisterhood of motherhood growing!  Subscribe today and leave Daisy a 5-star review, that’s how This Girl podcast continues to move up the charts and continues to bring you stories that matter to YOU!

After 3 months in Quarantine, the world is getting ready to head back and return slowly with a new way, new restrictions and new regulations.  But are you ready to reset?  What have you learned during quarantine?  On this episode, This girl Daisy invites mindful quarantine buddy Gabriela “Gaby” Martinez-Fonts, mindfulness ambassador and founder of Mindful Wisdom Now to reflect on lessons learned during this global pandemic.  Together they discuss what realizations and adjustments they are both willing to make before hitting the "RESET" button. Daisy and Gaby have an intuitive conversation about the positives and negatives that surfaced while being quarantined.   They share reflection exercises, which they both have done with their families in order to come back from this Universal pause with more purpose and intention to becoming better. Putting her mindfulness expertise into practice with her own family, Gaby shares how she and her family held an intentional conversation and did a reflection exercise, where she posed three questions to her family (where all three 3 kids participated – ages 8, 10 and 12): What did you like about quarantine? What did you not like about quarantine? What do you want to keep in our family that we learned during quarantine? Daisy also approached this quarantine time as an opportunity to refocus and reflect, before hitting the reset button.  She focused on a holistic approach, and did a personal inventory where she is with her body, mind and spirit.  She created a RESET report card for herself, and family to review.  This RESET report card serves to hold each other accountable in the areas where each needs to take action in becoming better.  Daisy and Gaby would be disheartened to see the world return as if nothing happened;  so tune in to their invitation on how best to reflect before you reset! The day we recorded, one of our favorite resources, the Greater Good Science Center Magazine, was in sync with our thoughts and actions and published an article asking you to list your lessons learned.
