In this episode you'll meet Nakia @thevirtualskincarecoach & @browtotoe from Hampstead, NC. She is a former marine who decided to pursue a career in the esthetics industry as a mom. She shares how being a marine has influenced her as a mom and a business owner.
As a mom to a teenage girl, Nakia strives to be someone that her daughter would want to emulate. "Children watch everything we do" she says, and she works hard to make sure her daughter sees all the hard work that goes into not only being a mom, but running a business.
She explains that she creates balance in her life by creating structure, rules and boundaries and sticking to them! Plus she is not afraid to say "no".
Nakia also shares how she was resourceful during the pandemic and began to coach clients, virtually, about their skin. She felt it was a great opportunity to teach them and knew they would benefit from getting personalized advice from a professional and not from a celebrity.
Going from Marine to Mom Boss wasn't easy, however she had a great foundation and has not been afraid to invest in herself. She has a great story to tell that I know you'll enjoy!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
