👏🏻 I am so excited to introduce my friend James Dunn to the podcast! James is a motivational mindset coach and podcast host, who turned his life around after being arrested for attempted armed robbery at 17 years old. You heard that right! Sometimes things happen in our lives that can create a voice of self doubt, questioning and not believing in what we are capable of. Well James is passionate about silencing that voice and helping people get out of their own way, taking them from unsure, to unstoppable! Tune in to hear his powerful story of transformation and how he got to where he is today! One thing I also love about James is his authenticity, so if you’re a Mama listening to this episode and your kiddos are around, you might want to put the air pods in for this one, because we do let a few F bombs fly and even chat about why in the episode! So let’s dive into this juicy chat! 🎉
🔥 Key Highlights:
• When you stay true to yourself and how you genuinely communicate, you might repel some people, while also attracting the right people.
• James shares his story of growing up adopted with an alcoholic father, and how the need for attention would eventually escalate to his attempted armed robbery arrest and other crimes- a pivotal point in him deciding this was not the path he wanted to be on.
• You can have all the right advice and wisdom, but until you can take action, implement it and put in the work, you won’t see any changes.
• Finding like-minded people who are in the same in-between stage as yourself, who are overcoming similar challenges.
• Growing your business or podcast is like a marathon. You need to build the foundation slowly over time, so you can actually be ready for your dream goals and opportunities.
I hope James’ story inspires you to work through your own limiting beliefs and what could be holding you back from living the incredible life you deserve! If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend you think might need to hear it right now! 🥰

On today's episode of the B word podcast, I brought in my friend James Dunn. Love this sky, y'all. James is truly one of those people that just doesn't give a flying F and mamas out there. If you have little people listening, you might want to pop your air pods in because we do use the F bomb. We are frequent fliers of it in this episode, because James is just so authentic to himself and fully believes that sometimes a good F is just what needs to be said. My favorite
