[S4] EP 05 True Connection with Kandis Gaignard
08/21/18 • 54 min
This week, I’m discussing important topics like community, parenting, adventure and identity with my good friend, Kandis Gaignard.
Kandis Gaignard is the co-founder and Chief High-Touch of MMT, an invite-only event for high-level entrepreneurs. She also has an editing business and a real passion for helping people get their message out into the world.
In this episode, Kandis opens up about how she has learned to embrace the journey and celebrate where she is now.
Like most entrepreneurs, she dives into her struggles with identity and desire to fit in. Kandis shares how her ability to connect with herself has impacted other important relationships in her life and business.
She explains how she prioritizes her non-negotiables as a mother, the morning routines that have changed her life and the importance of supporting herself daily. Kandis is a great example of what Unbecoming is all about.
You can follow Kandis on Instagram for keep up with all that she has going on, and learn more about MMT at their website and Instagram.

[S4] EP 04 Pretty Brave with Emily Nolan
Today’s episode with my good friend Emily Nolan was one of the most honest, hilarious and entertaining conversations I’ve had on the show.
As UNCW graduates and collegiate athletes, Emily and I connect over much more than just the surface stuff. In fact, we dive right in from the start and her story encourages me to publicly share something I never have before.
Her first book, Pretty Brave, will be released soon and you’re going to learn what this whole concept is really about (you can pre-order Emily’s book by clicking here)!
In this episode she reveals the behind-the-scenes of her modelling career, including why she stopped and the extreme measures she took to further her career, as well as the four different seasons of her life. Emily also talks about why she felt like such a fraud, and what she did to release the shame she has felt in the past.
She shares why radical self-acceptance is so important now that she is a soon-to-be mom, and how she moves her body, or as she calls it, her “Earth Suit”, differs now from when she was younger and a competitive athlete.
Most importantly, Emily shows us how she discovered what real beauty is and should be. It’s a call to love up on our bodies, so we can all address what really matters, and be brave enough to believe that we’re all perfect - just the way we are.
You can learn more about Emily at her website and if Emily’s message and this episode resonated with you, go follow her on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Please share your insights and ah-ha’s with her directly through email!

[S4] EP 06 An Intentional Life with Berit Coleman
If you’re a multi-passionate person looking to step into a new project, a new role, a new relationship or a new business venture, you’ll love this episode with my good friend, Berit Coleman.
In this episode, Berit and I discuss evolving identity, intentional parenting, deep relationships, business pivots and more.
Berit co-founded a web development firm in the late 1990’s, and shortly after co-founded Affinity Lab, the first and longest operating co-working space in the world. After selling the business in late 2015, she focused on being a full-time mom to her two young sons. When she’s not watching her boys and spending time with her husband Joey, Berit is a freelance editor of both fiction and non-fiction books, as well as working on new projects of her own.
In this episode, Berit shares where her entrepreneurial journey began, and how she now uses similar systems to project manage her family which, contrary to popular belief, actually gives them more freedom.
You’ll learn about her family’s worldly adventures, and why doing this as a family is such an important priority. So if you’ve ever had the desire to travel with children, you’ll want to listen closely.
Lastly, Berit shares her challenges with identity - something I find so many people struggle with - and her own evolution as a woman, business owner, wife, mom and friend.
Her honesty is captivating and her self awareness, inspiring. I’m honored to welcome Berit Coleman to the show and I hope you enjoy the conversation. To learn more about Berit, you can connect with her on Facebook or by email.
