Exclusivity vs. Accessibility: Returning to My Business Roots
In this candid episode, Felicia shares her recent decision to pivot her business by closing subscription sign-ups and creating a waitlist—a move that shocked even her closest advisors. She reveals the powerful "aha moment" that led her to realize she'd strayed from what made Goldmine & Coco special in the first place: exclusivity and high demand with limited supply.
Felicia unpacks her two-year journey of trying to figure out where things went wrong, and the counterintuitive wisdom that sometimes you need to "scale back in order to speed up." Through vulnerable storytelling, she explores how the pandemic's rapid growth led her to prioritize accessibility over exclusivity, and why she's now returning to her business roots.
Drawing inspiration from the Book of Nehemiah, Felicia shares why building a team is essential for navigating pivots and making tough decisions. She offers practical insights on adapting to changing customer expectations, especially in today's landscape where customers demand more face time and personal connection.
Whether you're considering a business pivot or struggling with something that's no longer working, this episode will give you permission to evolve your offerings without explaining yourself to every person with an opinion. As Felicia reminds us, "The most successful businesses aren't the ones that never change—they're the ones that change before they have to.

I'm back and this time with a revamp!
I took some time to reflect on how I wanted to utilize this platform and what was most important to me, one thing that I'm enjoying in this season of my life are the conversations that I have with my girlfriends.
My friendships are rooted in love and thrive off of genuine celebration for one another's accomplishments. Not only do we celebrate, we push one another to win!
My desire is for black women to hear the love between other black women and feel led to engage with us and build their own friendships.
Sistah talk is about me bringing on my real life friends and having raw and real conversations. Enjoy!

7: Watch Your Mouth
Ever Wonder Why Your Life is Stagnant and Relationships Continue to Fail? Your Mouth Could Be the Reason You’re hindering your own blessings, relationships, friendships and growth. You have the power to speak life over your future.
Proverbs 18:21 Death and Life are in the Power of the Tongue
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Proverbs 18:19 A brother who has been insulted is harder to win back than a walled city and arguments separate people like barred gates of a palace.
Matthew 12:36 Speaking carelessly and give account
You have to get to a point where you acknowledge how your words may have caused more damage than harm and also understanding how much power you truly have.

5: Episode 5: You Need A System
If you think for one second that you don't need a system in order to get things done, I'm here to tell you that you're wrong.
Some time ago I said screw planner peace, I was purchasing planner after planner only to find out all of them could work, I simply had no real system in place. What I discovered is that when it’s a hobby as well as a necessity, there is no such thing as peace. You purchase it because you love it and it brings you joy. Put your blinders on, learn your own personal aesthetic and go for it. Let's Talk.
