This episode is a testimony.

In this episode of The Blueprint, I sit down with Aneisha “Wealthy Annie” Rose — a certified John Maxwell life and business coach, entrepreneur, and forex trader with over ten years in the financial industry.

Born and raised in Kingston 13, Jamaica, Aneisha shares how growing up around violence, poverty, and discrimination shaped her mindset, her faith, and her mission to help others build confidence and wealth.

We talk about:

• Growing up in the inner city
• Wrestling with anger, depression, and suicidal thoughts
• How faith and prayer pulled her out of a dark place
• Why she refuses to trade her body for opportunity
• Money management, wealth building, and why saving alone is not enough
• Time management, boundaries, dating, and protecting your name
• Practical steps to build confidence and remember who you are

If you grew up in the inner city, battled low self-worth, struggled with money, or felt like your past disqualifies you, this conversation is going to sit in your spirit.

Content Note: This episode includes honest discussion about suicidal thoughts and attempts, as well as sexual coercion and abuse. Please listen with care.

Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s how we show up whole. Today I’m joined by Ashley Sessions, the powerhouse behind Pampering Sessions, a self-care brand creating decadent body butters, luminous body oils, cleansing sugar scrubs, and more. We break down self-care vs. self-love, rebuilding self-trust, and how small daily practices lead to big inner shifts. Ashley also shares how her brand came to life in under a year, plus what’s coming next (hello, beard kit 👀).

In this episode

• The difference between self-care (the practice) and self-love (the foundation)
• Rebuilding self-trust so your routines actually stick
• Gentle routines that work when you’re busy and tired
• Products for women and men (yes, men love baths too!)
• Friends who lovingly “fix your crown” when it slips
• How Ashley bootstrapped packaging, labels, and her first product line

On this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, host Yanique Walters sits down with Karen “Karey” Casto-Chrin, founder of the global award-winning beauty brand Hopa the Karey / Hoppy Skin—a CBD-alternative skincare and cosmetics line born from deeply personal pain, resilience, and faith.

Karey opens up about grief, domestic abuse, losing contact with her children, and the legal maze she’s fought through—then shares how she turned tunnel-vision survival into a global brand with 250+ products (including the Liberty collections and Bulletproof Mineral Cosmetics). We talk confidence, self-love, practical side-hustle advice, why “loneliness isn’t always bad” during healing, and building legacy in real life.

If you’re rebuilding after heartbreak or reminding yourself who you are—this one’s for you.
