How Model Vivien James Survived The Downward Spiral of the Modeling World & Established The Really Real Talk Podcast
I came across Vivian’s podcast on Instagram by a friendly referral and she requested to interview me. After the interview I wanted to learn more about her. So I requested to cross-interview her and I became instantly hooked to her story! She is passionate about creating episodes her listeners love listening to with her authentic ability to have regular conversations about real hard things while being in the real hard times.
The go-getter bug hit her while she was attending a Gary Vaynerchuk speaking event and simultaneously overcoming a failed career as a model and DJ. Prior to podcasting Viven James was on billboards and collaborating with major brands. Even with all the modeling success Viven experienced she was still receiving tons of rejected modeling gigs and terrible experiences with modeling agencies. A podcast was something she suppressed for a while as she was dealing with self-doubt, toxic relationships, and fear of failure . She eventually pivoted to podcasting the Really Real Talk thanks for Gary Vee and even rents her Mercedes for photoshoots today.
She has managed to turn her life completely around and getting ready to take a deep dive into her creativity. Could you imagine Vivien doing your photoshoots and teaching you some modeling tricks? I can.

How to move forward after a lay-off while keeping your dreams in focus.
Have you been laid off? It sucks and it’s never fun. In this episode we tackle the difficult questions. Like... what do I do now?
Did I do something wrong?
Do I give up my dream because this job was financing my side hustle?
How do I know what to do next?
All valid questions that Astrid answers on this episode as you navigate your new reality. It is important to keep your mental health in mind. Which is why Astrid suggest taking time to write yourself a Thank You Letter for all your hard work. Acknowledge and validate your feelings and emotions. It is ok to feel scared, angry and panicked. We all get used to routines. Especially, if this job is one you’ve had for a long time. It will feel like you are grieving a past time in your life. You will feel unappreciated and start wondering if you did something wrong. Seeing they are hiring others while they decided to lay you off may cause you to question if it had something to do with you. While there are some unlawful practices followed by employers, it’s important to listen to your intuition and seek legal counsel if you truly believe you were laid off for an illegal reason.
In this episode Astrid also discusses being resourceful, reducing expenses, and seeking creative job opportunities that will help keep your dreams in focus. Tips are provided on ways you can monetize what you are already doing as a writer and/or bookstagrammer. Also a kind reminder that these things happen to everyone and doesn’t always have to be taken as a personal jab. You are not a failure because you’ve been laid off. You will jump back on your feet; this is only a temporary set back.

The Stories We Tell Our Mixed Race Boys

Thoughts on books, bookstagram, reviews and book clubs with Rod Kelly

Unpacking Malcriada and Other Stories with Author Lorraine Avila
Who gets to be called Malcriada? What are the trials and tribulations Dominican women have faced? Dealing with impacts of race with intercultural dating is not a topic we took lightly in this episode. Living through tough times as an immigrant and why these stories are finally being told are topics we delve into.
In this interview with Lorraine Avila we discuss the behind the scenes thoughts and intricate situations that shaped her writing. We discuss uncomfortable conversations surrounding race. Briefly discuss saying "human race" is still an offensive term and why the offense varies by who says it. A few stories from Malcriada and Other Stories are used as examples to discuss the olympics of pain and oppression that occurs within cultures. The use of cultural norms to silence women by calling them Malcriada. Lorraine decided to give Malcriada an all too familiar hispanic acronym for rebellious women; new life by challenging the reader to shift their mindset.
In this thorough and extensive conversation we get deep into the stories that have shaped the abnormal norms in the conditioning of Dominican women and invite them to wear their Malcriada badges with honor. Lorraine is a first time published author with Dominican Writers and has set the stage with these intricate yet necessary stories that reflect the Latinx culture. This is an episode that will require your undivided attention and requires you to keep an open mind.
