About Fruitful Talk

Hi, my name is Miljana Monic, and at the moment, I am a one-woman show with occasional help from my husband. :) I am sharing stories of entrepreneurs following their dreams and creating a life of purpose, being unstoppable in the face of adversity. My main focus is on entrepreneurs and people committed to building the lives they love while transforming the world around them. May they serve as examples of living beyond circumstances. You can do it too! The podcast is in its early stages, so please be patient with me, share it with your friends and family, and come back for new episodes.

   How Sustainable is Your Closet with Andrea Reyes?

   This week's Fruitful Talk is with Andrea Reyes a sustainable fashion mentor. She A Bernadette founder and one of the founding members of the New York City Fair Trade Coalition. Andrea is a true example of a young woman that makes a difference in the world and leads by example. Her journey started at a young age as a student at FIT. Her trip to Uganda was just another door that she opened that reminded her of the leadership we lack in our society to change our fashion footprint. Today she demonstrates this by educating entrepreneurs and businesses through both being a mentor and member of www.NYCFTC.com. I think I will not do her justice by writing her story here so that is why I recommend you watch her share her story. HOW SUSTAINABLE IS YOUR CLOSET? (see chapter timestamp above): On a piece of paper or your phone answer these questions: * Where do you get your coats from? * Breaks down by category * Where do you get your jeans from? * Breaks down by category * Where do you get your sweats from? * Breaks down by category * Where do you get your shoes from? * Breaks down by category * Where do you get your bags from? * Breaks down by category * Continue for all your clothing… Recommendations from Andrea around sustainable brands at : https://www.thredup.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2ZtTy1jN0x0Rnl1WHpRenV3OXFyNVFBeF9FZ3xBQ3Jtc0trdWw2SXljY29OYk5LQmFpNUs2V0xveHdpdDBlUEQ3WENJcU1VT2FBLXhaN3oxQ2xsakJZZ2I0QllTWGtGY3VNTlBCQzFZRjZBRlpwNXhSWTdoVUwwTVlRS3dvcU13T1pfMjdfTEkwaWZxSDFweXVDWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thredup.com%2F&v=dJIRFBo4Foc)https://bhavastudio.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazB1b1R0MW4yVzZFdUVqWlZIcFRZeDVobG1DUXxBQ3Jtc0tuVDA4Y3o3alJFUDQ0cDFlNzhUaUVaMVpEUDFITEkwM3RqNEZsZTdGX3cxU0ZpNlhpN21yakNSWDQ5bUR2LUhRd2tkd1RsUU42dTFEQ3hPLW1DY2I4U21wdUstWC1sLUNjOUFMc2lmU1U3SGZyTzlQaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbhavastudio.com%2F&v=dJIRFBo4Foc) https://voltaatelier.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUg2clVDZkdJZGtXQ3BIcmg5dGZUeDlfaDNkUXxBQ3Jtc0trT0VjYmZZRm5TMU5kS01yTHJrcE1iTWVLYWd2OE1jSXlld2M5Q2lZb3o3WUdMZkltcHlKTnRqekk4ZFBtQ0dTbl9rb3U4c1E5N1kzZk1Ma3JnV2pTVndvdTNMWFRpeGlWX3FqOE52SG9HTzFHNzJXUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvoltaatelier.com%2F&v=dJIRFBo4Foc) For undergarments, she recommends a B-Corp company as it is a challenge to find something second-hand.

   Sustainable Fashion Shows with Kristen Pereira from Adalinda Fashion

   Fruitful Talk with Kristen Pereira from Adalinda Fashion sustainable fashion. She creates sustainable fashion shows now since 2016. The footprint of fast fashion is great on our planet 🌍 footprint. We also have many brands that talk about sustainable fashion but their actions do not match their talk. Adalinda goes beyond just talking about being sustainable but rather it looks at the whole process of the brand from creation to consumption. If you talk about sustainability and zero waste but do not follow it with an action that demonstrates your commitment, then are you sustainable? Kristen shares with us her journey of stardom. Her first year was all about denying and looking for all the things she did not have to start such a business. Through this process and with a help of a coach she started seeing all she has to be able to make such a difference in the world of fashion. She went from a young woman not expressing who she is and she believes to a young woman following her dreams and making a difference. Her first fashion show was fully sold out with people waiting outside to get in. So was her last fashion before COVID 2020 in February 2020 of which I got the pleasure to be part. Though COVID has brought many challenges it also brought in new ideas and new ways of doing things. Like a virtual fashion show, a podcast, and new social media sharing her brand and story. The of Fruitful Talk and so that of Adalinda Fashion is to educate people around sustainable living, eco-friendly products all while doing our best to leave the smallest footprint on our planet. The journey to accomplishing all of this starts with ourselves.

   Success of Women in IT, Cynthia McCalister Journey to Creating KeySpot, 25 years in IT/Tech

   Cynthia has been a woman working in IT for 25 years. Today she works for herself helping small businesses with IT consulting, building websites, developing apps, and social media. She is a strong believer in providing a service that could make a difference which I see as a sustainable living person in the business. Besides, her faith and spirituality are there to always guide her. In 2015 she created an app called Key Spot App to help small businesses network and work together better. In 2020 she has got the opportunity to take the app further into most states of the USA due to COVID and online networking. This business owner focused on making a difference and serving others whether through her businesses or community events like the Food COMA podcast, (Conversations Over Meals in America) or her book, “Yes You Can” is an inspiration to follow.

   Live an Authentic Life, Authentic Living Coach Pan Tang Fruitful Talk

   Welcome to my first ever Fruitful Talk. I started the series at the end of 2020 and shared my first episode on January 7, 2021, on my YouTube channel. I faces some challenges since but now. I am taking it all back and now I am ready to share the podcasts. I am also working on new episodes. Fruitful Talk is where I interview a person that from the bottom of his/her/their heart cares to contribute to society far beyond the materialistic world we are living in now. Living and desiring for a deeper connection to sustainability that contributes to the society and Mother Earth. In this first episode, Pan Tang shares her journey of becoming a life coach. She left one of the most paying jobs to do something that is connected to her essence. A life lived from within is much more fulfilling than one with a pocket full of money and an unsatisfied heart. Pan Tang shares her story of starting her own coaching business. She shares her challenges, joys, and rewards. Her journey of becoming a coach started over 4 years ago (at the time this is being shared closer to 6 years) when she was an actuary. I know many people who would love to have her profession and salary. Yet she chose a different path. One that feels authentic to her inner self and one where she touches people’s lives directly every day whether through one-on-one coaching or in a group. Here are some online places where you can find Pan online: Website: https://pantangcoaching.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PanTangCoaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pan_tang_co...
