First episode of the year and we’re setting the tone in a powerful way. We filmed this episode live at Core Performance 38:16, and it couldn’t have been a better space to have this conversation.

In this episode of the LEAN Podcast Season 2, we sit down with Chrissy Harrison, founder of Core Performance 38:16, to talk about leadership that actually pours into people, what it means to own your voice as a woman in male-dominated spaces, and how to build a life and career without letting titles define your worth.

Chrissy shares her journey from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, the sacrifices behind success, and why strategy, accountability, and community are non-negotiable if you want long-term growth. This conversation is honest, grounding, and deeply encouraging for women navigating corporate life, entrepreneurship, or the in-between seasons where identity feels shaky.

If you’ve ever felt capped, unheard, or unsure about your next move, this episode will remind you that your voice matters and your path doesn’t need permission.

Filmed at Core Performance 38:16, a space intentionally created for growth, wellness, and alignment.

In this episode, Mahogany sits down with the incredible Verna Stone, a mother, former chemical engineer, and the founder of the Black Girls Guide to Real Estate Investing. With over 22 years of experience in the industry, Verna shares her powerful journey from a demanding career in engineering to becoming a full-time investor and educator.

Throughout the conversation, Verna discusses the devastating loss of her grandmother’s home to foreclosure and how that tragedy motivated her to master the real estate market to help others avoid the same fate. She explains why she chose to transition from a high-level plant manager role to prioritize her family and financial freedom, and why she is now dedicated to teaching Black women how to navigate real estate through seminars, webinars, and digital products. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, strategic planning, and the importance of speaking your goals into the universe.

Verna’s story is a reminder that it is never too late to shift your career and start building a legacy for your family. Whether you are looking for a side hustle or an aspiring full-time investor, this interview will ignite your purpose and provide you with the inspiration to take the next step in your financial journey.

We’re back with another episode recorded on location—this time at Creative Shell Studios with the incredible Michelle R. Michelle is a photographer, designer, creative strategist, mother of two, and a woman who has continually redefined her identity through life’s detours.

In this powerful conversation, we explore what it means to rediscover yourself while navigating motherhood, career transitions, cultural expectations, faith, and the chaos that shapes us. Michelle shares her upbringing across countries, the discipline and pressure she grew up with, the challenges of losing her job while pregnant, and the journey of rebuilding her creative business from the ground up.

We dive deep into identity, purpose, resilience, and the courage required to reinvent yourself—especially when life shifts unexpectedly. Michelle also reflects on how her daughters have influenced her growth and how moments of faith, community, and grace gave her strength along the way.

If you’re a mom, a creative, a woman in transition, or someone working to reconnect with who you are beneath all the roles you play—this episode will speak to you.
