Hello, everyone, and welcome to a one-off episode of, I'm not even going to say the financial

confessions because this isn't. This is its own special thing that deserves its own special

episode. But before I get into today's interview, I wanted to just say a quick thank you to our

partners over at advisor.com. If you are someone who has been weighing a lot of money, life, career questions, I've

personally been working with a financial advisor for years and it has hugely, hugely helped me shaping my plan financially and otherwise,

especially in these turbulent times.

It's nice to just have someone to call and ask my questions to you.

And if you've been thinking about working with a financial advisor, we have been working here at TFD with advisor.com for quite some time now. They are a flat fee service, which means they are transparent. You pay the same no matter what. And it means they work for you and not commissions. We really love the whole team. We love what they do. We also host workshops with them that are totally free for financial education if you're not ready to take the plunge yet. But if you've ever been financial advisor curious, we have a link in the description where you can go and set up a totally free call with one of their advisors where you can ask any questions you might have about the process, the pricing, anything to do with having a financial advisor. And it's totally free. So why not give it a try? I highly recommend it. A lot of our team here works very closely with advisor, and they're just great people. So give them a call. Lately, I've been wanting to speak to some of the women in my life who off camera are doing things that I find just incredibly admirable and cool and interesting. And don't always fit neatly into one specific box. Of course, we're going to talk about money, but we're also going to talk about ambition, image,

being online, being a woman, presenting ourselves,

all of these topics that I think are deeply relevant to the channel.

But again, don't always necessarily fall

into the very limited category of personal finance.

My guest here today is someone who has built a pretty staggering online brand.

I believe, am I right in saying that Oprah shared your interview last week?

Wait, did she? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. With Gabrielle Union. Sorry.

Not me knowing this better than you.

It was like, wait, which one?

Yes, with Gabrielle Union.

Yes. But you've built an incredibly impressive online brand. You may know her as the host of Balance Black Girl. As of when? Did we change? We changed it on March 24th, 2025. And we are now. She's So Lucky Podcasts. Yes. And it's not just a podcast. It is just a truly incredible cross-platform media brand. If you don't know her, though, her name is Les Alfred.

Thank you for having me, Chelsea. Thank you for coming. So as I said, I want to talk about kind of any and everything. But let's start first and foremost. So you host this podcast that, as I said, has reached a huge audience and is just really impressive. But you didn't come from that space.

You come from the wellness space.

So can you talk a little bit about what that meant
