The ENDDDD OF AN ERAAA or not! It kinda feels that way, but what we can say is that recording 123 episodes to date has been an accomplishment the Non-Corporate Girls never saw happening. Single-handedly it is a milestone both Ayanna (@the_aya_brand) and Delaila (@missdelailac) committed to more than any other and now it’s onward. This next phase of NCG is intentional so that the duo can put their head down and really map out how they will take charge of their growth. It is with immense gratitude to have received so many reassuring words of encouragement from our community and those who took the time to help the ladies reflect and be reminded of the strides made. 

This is not a goodbye but definitely a see you later moment. Season 7 has to be the most epic, as they say the #7 is an idea of completeness. And so taking a pause after season 6 makes sense because we are not done yet. So here’s to working toward a season of completion. The best is yet to come! Tune into this episode to take a walk down memory lane, listen to your Business Besties reactions to the messages written to us from members of our community and to learn what’s next for NCG!

Our #ObsessedWith is YOU! Every single subscriber, listener, supporter, and partner we appreciate you. Thank you for giving us a clearer purpose for how we choose to show up each day and the energy to continue pouring into the Non-Corporate Girls Brand. Xo Your Business Besties

The Power of NO, let’s all embrace it more. The Non-Corporate Girls are Back in the Break Room to discuss how empowering it is to reclaim our time and get intentional on how we choose to exert our energy and with whom. Ayanna (@the_aya_brand), Carla (@creneemonae) and Delaila (@missdelailac) take you back to some of the exact moments when saying NO was transformational. Still a work in progress they each have become more comfortable with turning down projects, people and places that are no longer serving. We challenge you all to do the same. Take a listen to this episode and reflect back to when standing firm in your no’s became easier for you. 

A little different this episode our #ObsessedWith are things pertaining to our self healing journeys. Ayanna’s is a book called The Sugar Jar, Carla an app called the 5 minute journal and Delaila The Holy Bible App.

When it comes to beauty trends we went to just the person who can give us the tea. Monique Bivens (@iambrazilianbabes), Founder and Owner of Brazilian Babes (@brazilianbabes_) had a chat with us about the standard of beauty and her impact on the industry. With 15+ years of experience, it has allowed her to ladder up to the Boss Babe she is. Understanding all facets of the business because she was once a student and then an employee has helped her to anticipate her client's needs and give a top-tier experience. For the girlies who love beauty chats and those who can relate to the feeling of trying so hard to fit a beauty standard that doesn't include them, this is a conversation that will resonate.

Monique's #ObsessedWith is a good bag and all things work

We like to shake things up a bit at NCG. In the first ever of its kind our two hosts Ayanna (@the_aya_brand) and Delaila (@missdelailac) interview one another instead of a featured guest. The catch was that neither was able to view the questions prior and so each response shared is truly a testament from the heart to actual lived experiences. The exchange was honest, sincere, and eye-opening. With a level of candor and vulnerability both Ayanna and Delaila realized how much they have overcome and all the growth that has transpired in both their personal and professional lives.

This week there is no #ObsessedWith, the conversation was solely focused on the host and their perspectives. Do listen to our Positive Notes, this week the angle was slightly different.
