Trash the Checklist

Yolanda Holloway and Tiffany Byrd

Adulting and the expectations associated with it can be daunting. Trash the Checklist is a no-pressure-added discussion facilitated by best friends, family women, and 20+ year career professionals, Tiffany Byrd and Yolanda Holloway. The hosts have spent their lives blindly adhering to set expectations, so they bring a realistic perspective to discussions that will help listeners become more comfortable with exploring alternatives to always doing what’s expected. Trash the Checklist is for women who want to define their own intimate relationships and families, careers, educational paths, finances, and even what to do on their "off" time-- to begin to make their own rules, and to set their own terms for success and happiness in everyday life.

Of course we can evaluate the impact of our decisions on our own lives, but what about the lives of others? In this episode the hosts discuss the impact of the "checklist life" on their oldest children. They've invited in Tre, Tiffany's son, and Taylour, Yolanda's daughter, to discuss what they've learned from their mothers, both positive and negative as it relates to being so task driven.
This is a great episode of those who want children, are raising children, or whose child rearing days are behind them. How often have we thought about the choices that we've made beyond them being "good choices" based on a career move or educational attainment? What do kids really think about what adults call success? How do they define it? What will be their outlook on life as a result of the models that their parents/caregivers have shown?
Check in with Yolanda and Tiffany as they take the feedback from their first-borns.

Throwback Thoughts: Experience is the Best Teacher

Trash the Checklist

10/26/21 • 41 min

It's Homecoming, y'all.!! Michael Jackson once asked, "Do you remember?" and Mary J. Blige said, "You remind me" and Ahmad once said, "Back in the day..." So it's clear that going back in time to reflect on and think about things that happened and the things that you did when you were younger is a big part of life. Join Yolanda and Tiffany as they use their experience at their college homecoming to reflect on and connect who they were then with who they are now. What lessons would they give to their 18 to 22 year old selves? How do you relate to the hosts' revelations? How has your life been impacted by choices that you made while a very young adult? What insight can they provide to the next wave of young, eager, ambitious men and women who will also be searching for a way to find their own contentment and happiness?

More than a High: A Medicinal marijuana discussion

Trash the Checklist

01/11/23 • 45 min

If you're like the hosts of Trash the Checklist Podcast, then you probably grew up inundated with information about how bad marijuana was for you. But within the past 10 years, the research and some of the social taboo around marijuana use, especially for medicinal purposes, has led to some great discoveries about how the plant can benefit so many people in so many way.
Trash the Checklist welcomes Ms. Amber Demby, of Ash and Ember dispensary in Centreville, MD to take them on the beginnings of a journey to understanding and respecting the ways that the plant can be good. #CBD #MedicalMarijuana #LegalWeed #PlantBased #RemoveTheStigma #HowHigh

The Need to Nourish

Trash the Checklist

01/30/22 • 48 min

Sometimes the quest to lose weight and to get healthy becomes a short range focus on quick dieting and a few weeks of "going hard" to reach a certain number on a scale or for a laboratory test. Goals that often last for the short term. In this episode Yolanda and Tiffany discuss the possibilities that exist within being a vegan and seeing it as an attainable lifestyle with Ms. Naeemah Fletcher, owner of the health and wellness business, Nourish with Naeemah.
Naeemah is a very understanding and supportive wellness coach who believes in marrying mind, body, and spirit when coaching clients. She is a Philadelphia native who began to make different food choices as a young adult. Imagine, living in Philadelphia, home of the cheesesteak, and choosing a plant-based life!!
We talk to Naeemah about health, making a transition to a healthier, not necessarily completely vegan, lifestyle and also discuss how important it is to change one's mindset before taking on any life-changing process.
You can find her on Facebook and Instagram at "Nourish with Naeemah".

Yolanda and Tiffany take a moment to evaluate how far they've come since 2021's Financial Literacy Awareness month. And they admit, they're coming along, but have a way to go.

Thankfully, there are people like Jayne Ellegard, the founder of Ellegant Wealth, who have taken the step to fill in the gap for women where their finances are concerned.
Jayne has over 30 plus years of experience in the financial management world and has brought her expertise and wealth building philosophy to her own company to coach and help women pursue their visions for financial happiness. She uses her own "Six Pillars" approach to breaking down many of the barriers that women often have to breach in order to feel empowered about their own money. #GetMoney #FinancialLiteracyMonth #EllegantWealth #TrashTheChecklist
