   Ep. 79 - Why Not? Inner Child Healing, Self-Forgiveness, and the Vision Behind Aeva Beauty with Francisca Francois

   What happens when a dark-skinned girl from Haiti, raised in South Florida, decides to trust her "why not" and build the beauty brand she never saw on shelves? In this episode, Dr. Kristian Edwards sits down with Francisca François, founder of Aeva Beauty — a makeup brand born out of colorism, acne-prone skin, and a refusal to be an afterthought. Francisca opens up about leaving Florida the day after high school graduation, building a brand from scratch in California, and the deep inner work it took to get there. From forgiving herself to connecting with her inner child, this conversation is a love letter to every woman who's ever been told her dream wasn't realistic — and did it anyway. Rich, vulnerable, and full of actionable wisdom.

   EP - 77 The Carpenter vs. The Gardener: Unlearning Hustle Culture with | Ganiat

   What does it really mean to choose health as freedom? In this episode, Dr. Kristian Edwards sits down with Ganiat, founder of Eyi Dara — a Yoruba phrase rooted in the saying "health is wealth." A Nigerian-American entrepreneur, Ganiat shares her comprehensive view of health that spans the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, and opens up about the messy, humbling journey of building a hair care brand from her kitchen with no formal beauty background. This conversation goes deep into mistakes as lessons, the dangerous mindset of "the carpenter" versus "the gardener," and the radical idea that rest is not the opposite of resilience — it's the foundation of it. A vulnerable, wisdom-packed episode about unlearning the hustle and remembering you are worthy simply by being.

[…] I just have to find a different way to do it. So what I've learned now is guided meditations work for me because it helps guide my brain down a path of what to think about, where to put my energy, where to think. And so that kind of helps me guide my my meditation practice. I also learned that running helps me. that if I'm moving my body, I'm easier, that I can control my thoughts from bouncing everywhere.
