You can never dream too big when you're Jenesis Laforcarde, who is my guest today and is also someone I admire so much because she is truly fearless. Jenesis is a brand-building expert, and most of her career has centered around her service-based business serving clients who need branding assistance. But recently, Jenesis was looking for something totally different to add to her portfolio; enter The Jenesis House, a 13-room boutique destination resort offering a spa, healing arts, farm-to-table nutrition, and complete wellness experiences. Less than one percent of black women own hotels, so naturally, Jenesis is ready to take on this statistic and break down barriers.

Oftentimes, it's hard for us to notice the villains we are living with everyday who are breathing negativity into our minds. But once we do, then we have the opportunity to "fire" them from our lives, opening new doors and leaving space for more positive people and possibilities to enter our lives. Today, I am joined by two-time author, keynote speaker and podcaster, Heather Monahan, to talk about her new book, "Overcome Your Villains" and the moment in her life that sparked the concept of this book. She educates us on the three types of villains, how to define them, identify them and fire them from your life. In this episode we talk about: The pivotal moment in Heather's life that sparked the idea behind her new book, "Overcome Your Villains" Identifying the 4 types of villains Firing the toxic people in your life to make room for those who are more aligned with you Persevering through constant rejection About Heather Monahan Heather Monahan is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, TedX speaker, podcast host and Board Member of Healthlynked Corporation.

( 8:28 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "How do you define a villain?" ( 9:40 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "We talk a lot about surrounding yourself with people who are going to support you in pursuit of your big ideas.

Can you talk a little more about that?" ( 17:14 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "Tell me about your journey to making friends with the villain in your own mind and how you've discovered how to work with this villain?"

( 28:55 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "What is your biggest hope for your book and its impact?" ( 30:10 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "What is the best way that people can support you and get behind your book?"

( 32:50 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "What's the best place our listeners can purchase your book?" ( 33:42 ) Lindsey asks Heather, "What is a recent Powerhouse moment, big or small, that you've had?"
