In this episode, Lolita leaves everything on the table with a single question - Are you the best friend that you want, need & deserve?  What if the question was, Are you the best friend TO YOU that you want, need & deserve? Hmmm, would the answer change?

Stepping into the impending recession is not the easiest thing to do. Sometimes it is laced with fear, anxiety, stress and lots of doubt.  In this episode, Lolita talks directly to you.  Using the word STEP, Lolita leaves you with four considerations to begin to STEP differently and more intently, as we look to thrive in a recession.

In this special bonus episode, Lolita shares a soon-to-be published, original poem called "Dear Yesterday."  Written with the goal to acknowledge our past, sit in our today and look toward our future, this powerful spoken-word poetry is worth the listen.  Did you know that other spoken-word pieces are throughout Lolita's other podcast episodes?  Hmmm, do you know which ones?  Check it out and consider leaving your response on her IG post for this episode.  https://www.instagram.com/heycoachwalker .

Let's talk FOCUS.  In this episode, Lolita chats three situations that knocked atop her head, as a reminder to FOCUS!  She talks distractions, overwhelm and what stands in her way to drive clarity, confidence and commitment.  Be sure to grab your journal at lolitawalker.com/podcast to write down these powerful soul-work exercises that she shares from Stop 7 in her book, "The Intersection of You & Change." Get ready to delve into YOU, as you engage in coaching, cocktails, and conversations on what we can do today.  This episode is just what you need to focus and re-focus on what is important, what you must do, and how you can move forward TODAY.

**A BONUS EPISODE in memory of grandmas and all grandparents who have transitioned.**  On August 12, 2021, my paternal grandmother, Lucille Walker passed away.  I had the honor of reciting an original poem at her homegoing services and I invite you to remember those you've loved and lost. Less than 4 minutes long, my prayer is that one or two of the words bring a smile to you in memory of! Enjoy - And super great news.  Keep an eye out for my book #2 this year, which will be 44 letters and poems to help shift you to your best you.  I cannot wait!

"Dear Meghan" is not only the title of my powerful poem that I share at minute 15.59, but it is also a celebration of one of the Power Women that I am calling out as a woman making history as we speak, specifically for walking into fear with courage by her side.  How often do we struggle to do that? Lemmie ask you this. How often do you truly pause and "see" those around you for who they are and what they are bringing to the table? How often do you acknowledge the hurt that you and others may be holding on to? How often do we gift folks the flowers they deserve in this moment? This episode is a celebration and thank you to the women everywhere who are making history and standing in all of their power. Listen in and grab a few things to shift differently.
