We're joined by Patricia Pauyo, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and founder of Pathway Nutrition LLC, a virtual private practice based in New York. Patricia helps busy professional women of color improve their lab values and manage lifestyle-related chronic illnesses while continuing to enjoy the cultural foods that matter most to them.

In this episode, we explore what it means to build a business while honoring the people you serve. Patricia shares how embracing culture, meeting clients where they are, and focusing on sustainable change has shaped both her approach to nutrition and her entrepreneurial journey.

We also discuss:

• Embracing cultural foods as part of a sustainable approach to nutrition and health
• Building a business through different seasons, including seasons of working both full-time in and outside of her business
• Celebrating progress—both her own and her clients'—while navigating the realities and challenges of life and business
• The value of networking, coaching, and learning from others
• Creating systems that support both her clients and her business
• What success means to her

Today we're joined by Bobbie Vyas, a Cognitive Fear Rewiring Specialist and creator of the Fear Rewiring Method™ (FRM). Drawing on her background in psychology and counseling, Bobbie helps high-capacity women identify and interrupt the fear-based patterns that lead to overthinking, delaying decisions, and second-guessing themselves. Her work focuses on uncovering what is happening beneath the surface; how our perceptions, experiences, and self-beliefs shape our thinking, fuel fear, and influence our actions.

What Bobbie has found is that most people aren't lacking ability. Instead, they're operating from fear patterns they haven't fully identified yet. Through her Fear Rewiring Method™, she helps clients recognize those patterns, challenge them, and develop new ways of thinking that support confidence, growth, and meaningful action.

In this episode, we talked about:

• Bobbie's journey from living with fear to now building a life and business rooted in growth

• Her framework for identifying, reframing, and rewiring fear patterns

• The power of mindset, self-talk, and being intentional about the stories we tell ourselves

• Learning from setbacks and embracing growth

• The creative and unexpected ways she attracts new clients and grows her business

• The importance of being present and creating space for personal and professional growth

Whether you're building a business, navigating a life transition, or working to overcome self-doubt, this conversation offers practical insights into understanding fear, shifting your mindset, and moving forward with greater confidence, clarity, and intention.

Today we're joined by Serene B. Hollingsworth, founder and perfumer of SANCTUAIRE DE FLEURS, a luxury fragrance maison rooted in cultural authorship, memory, and design. Through her work, Serene explores scent as an expression of identity, history, and lived experience, creating fragrances that tell stories often overlooked through traditional narratives.

In this episode, we talked about:

• Her transformation from a fearful child and young professional into a confident entrepreneur and leader

• Navigating and surviving Corporate America while remaining true to herself

• Building intentional networks and meaningful relationships throughout her career and entrepreneurial journey

• The visibility that came from being featured in The Wall Street Journal—what it meant for her business, and what it didn't mean

• The importance of integrity and authenticity in business

• The power of persistence, even after being told she didn't have what it takes

• The art of creating and composing fragrances from story, memory, culture, and history

• Developing fragrances through a women's lens and honoring perspectives that have often been excluded from traditional storytelling

• What it means to build a brand that reflects both personal identity and cultural legacy

This conversation is a powerful reminder that our stories matter, our experiences have value, and that sometimes the very things that make us different become the foundation for the work we're meant to create.
