In this episode of She Thrives 101, I sit down with Jasmine and Vee, the founders of Peak Fit Events, to talk about the real story behind Fit & Flow Festival. From one simple phone call to producing large-scale wellness events across the Triangle, they share the highs, the setbacks, and everything they've learned along the way.

We dive into:
• How Peak Fit Events was born
• Building a business before anyone believed in the vision
• Facing rejection, self-doubt, and unexpected challenges
• Producing large-scale events while working full-time jobs
• Why community will always beat competition
• The importance of creating spaces that prioritize physical, mental, and financial wellness
• What you can expect at this year's Fit & Flow Festival

This conversation isn't just about fitness, it's about having the courage to build something that doesn't exist yet, trusting your vision when others don't understand it, and creating community that leaves people better than they arrived.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, event host, wellness lover, or someone chasing a dream that feels bigger than you, this episode is for you.

I sat down with Toni the Program Director from SAGE; Saving Adolescent Girls Everywhere, to talk mentorship, confidence, and the very different world girls ages 12–18 are navigating today. From social pressure to identity, boundaries, and self-worth… this isn’t surface-level. This is the work that shapes women before the world gets a chance to.

We get into why mentorship matters now more than ever, how safe spaces create confident girls, and what it really looks like to build community that doesn’t just talk - but shows up.

If you care about women, this conversation will remind you: it starts with the girls.

Jalen sits down with Sarah (Art by SRG) a multidimensional artist, storyteller, and wellness advocate who isn’t just creating visuals…she’s creating experiences that make you feel something.

& we did not keep this conversation surface-level.

We talked about what it really looks like to:
– shift your identity in real time
– go from building a brand…to building a life that actually feels aligned
– create from a place of healing instead of performance
– show up before you feel “ready” and trust what’s being pulled out of you

Because truthfully; creativity isn’t just about what you make.
It’s about who you become in the process.

Sarah shares how her journey into wellness completely transformed the way she creates, connects, and shows up - not just as an artist, but as a woman navigating growth, confidence, and self-trust.

If you’ve been feeling that internal shift…this is your episode.

In this episode of She Thrives 101, I sit down with Lucy Mac for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it means to ignore the world’s expectations and stand firm in who you are.

We talk feminism beyond the surface, choosing yourself even when it’s uncomfortable, and having the courage to fight for what you know is right; even when it doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

Because thriving isn’t about fitting in…it’s about standing all the way out.

Not everyone will get it.

We talk about finding your people; the kind of women who lift you up, energize you, and remind you who you are. About choosing to show up fully as yourself, instead of shrinking to fit spaces you’ve outgrown. And about building confidence not from perfection, but from consistency, self-trust, and doing it anyway.

This episode is for the women who are done playing small and ready to move through life as their most aligned, confident selves.

We get into creativity, trusting your vision, moving with intention, and navigating growth as a woman building something of her own. Micah shares her journey, the lessons behind her work, and how she stays grounded while creating in a world that constantly pushes you to rush.
