Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,

and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom

or something like that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital

space together. I am so fortunate in this industry that I get to meet some of the coolest people

and really get to know them over years of friendship that's developed in the DMs or on a trip or just in

these certain events. And today we're bringing on somebody who is so inspiring to me, even

though our lives are just so different. And we have had very different walks of life. I'm so

inspired. Our little rich auntie, Dominique Baker, is here. Thank you so much for coming on the show.

You are so welcome. I am thrilled. I'm really excited for this.

You are just somebody that is so respected in this space.

Like, you will take a time out of, like, a middle of a Wednesday, you be like, hey, just checking in, like, wanted to really remind you of your worth today. And you don't know that in the background, I have like X, Y, Z that's gone on. And you're, you must be very intuitive. Have people told you this? Are you an intuitive person? Yeah, I get that a lot. It's the glory of hypervigilance. I guess. I feel I do have a six sense for it. Yeah, well, I would just want to say super appreciate you. Let's get into, first of all, what you're really known for is the rich auntie. You have gone viral for this,

but you really invite people into a space of like watching somebody evolve as a human, evolve as a woman,

and just like the way that it's expressed, that's so celebratory. There is such a, there's a richness to it that's not just about money.

It's really about adopting a mentality and lifestyle. Walk me through the decision to start
