In this episode, Ebony Unique sits down with Marlena Cunningham, a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, to have a real conversation about what health coaching actually looks like.

Spoiler: it’s not just about eating better and working out.

We get into how health coaching overlaps with the work I do in professional development and leadership—because the truth is, the things we struggle with in one area of our lives tend to show up everywhere. Habits, stress, expectations, burnout… it’s all connected.

This isn’t a “here’s how to be perfect” conversation. It’s about being balanced-ish. It’s about giving yourself some grace while still being honest about where you might need support.

If you’ve ever felt like you should have it all figured out by now, or you’ve written off health coaching as “not for you,” this might shift your perspective a bit. And if nothing else, it’ll get you thinking about where you could use a little more support in your own life.

In this episode, Ebony Unique sits down with Devin Negrete to talk about something we’re all navigating... bandwidth.

We get into what it really looks like to manage your time, resources, energy, and capacity when everything feels important and everybody needs something from you—including yourself. We talk about asking for help (and why that can feel so uncomfortable), figuring out when to say no without the guilt, and actually making space for the things that bring you joy.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, trying to do it all, or just needing a reminder that you’re not the only one navigating this, this conversation is for you. Nothing perfect, nothing polished—just real talk, a few “oh wow, that’s me” moments, and two people figuring it out in real time.

In this episode, we sit down with Katie to break down what financial planning actually means—and why so many people mistake having accounts, savings, or income for having a real plan.

We dive into Katie’s journey into financial advising, how her own relationship with money evolved, and why the role of a financial advisor is often misunderstood.

We also unpack the difference between simply “having stuff” like a 401(k), investments, or multiple accounts versus having a strategy that supports your real life now and your future goals.

For entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone with inconsistent income, Katie shares how to plan when cash flow changes month to month—and why the mindset of “I can always make more money” can quietly create financial stress.

We also discuss how money impacts relationships, why financial planning shouldn’t be a solo sport, and what changes when people finally get clarity and support.

This episode is for anyone who feels behind, overwhelmed, successful-but-disorganized, or ready to create more peace around money.
