Maria Trusa Episode S01 EPS 269

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Maria Trusa. As current CEO of Formé Medical Center, Maria is a dynamic and influential professional whose innovative, philanthropic style has inspired and helped many. Born in the Dominican Republic, Maria migrated to New York at the age of 15. Like many, she aspired to become a voice and 
presence, embracing opportunity. Realizing she had to learn a new language and acclimate to a new culture, Maria worked 
relentlessly seeking ways of prospering. Married at the age of 17, she continued her schooling, graduating high school and 
attending college. In March 2018, Formé re-introduced a unique program known as the “Formé Medical Membership” at Formé Medical Center. The program grants members unlimited access to Urgent Care and Primary Care services, as well as major discounts for laboratory testing, prescription drugs and specialty medicine to name a few, regardless of residency, financial or immigration status. Maria is co-founder of a non-profit organization called Promise to Aid, Inc whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of the undeserved community regardless of culture, legal status or 
economic background, serving to subsidize medical care for many suffering from chronic conditions due to financial restraints. She is the founder and driving force behind her movement, #ISayNoMore in which she has been committed to and worked diligently on in an effort to bring about awareness of this silent and obstructive act of sexual abuse and help the masses who are ready to speak their truth and rewrite their lives! In this episode we discuss Yo Digo No Mas, personal struggle, having impact, the 5 pillars of life, gratitude, surviving sexual abuse and breaking the silence.

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Katelyn Parsons. Katelyn Parsons is a Certified Intuitive Eating + Body Image Coach, Speaker, and host of The Modern Girl Podcast. After years of struggling with bulimia and disordered eating, she not only found recovery but recognized a crucial missing link in the wellness industry- empowerment + individual sustainability around health. This inspired her entrepreneurial journey and life mission to shift the conversation toward healing our relationship with food and body. For the past 4 years, Katelyn has helped countless creative leaders transform their relationship with food and body image through an integrative, evidence-based process so that they can move through each day feeling more present, empowered, and comfortable in their skin, without worrying about what to eat. In this episode we discuss body image, binge eating, body acceptance, healing, the doing mentality vs the being mentality.

Danielle Melanson Episode S01 EPS 267

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Danielle Melanson. I am Danielle Melanson. I am 44 years young and I mean that because two decades ago, I did not feel as good as I do today. I am from Cape Breton , Nova Scotia, but Live in the Halifax area with my Hubby or 14 years, and our 2 ( soon to be 3 dogs). I started my wellness journey 15 years ago, when as a 30 year old food addict, heavy smoker and drinker, I found myself with my first and very serious health scare. They were checking my hubby for Lung Cancer, and that scared me (well both of us) straight. I always pretended that my weight of 250 lbs (size 24) didn't bother me, but that was just a mask I wore to get through life without having to face the reality of what I was doing to my mental and physical health. I jumped into this business not knowing anything. I didn't even have a smart phone, but I learned and adapted and figured it out as I went. I always say... if there is a will there is a way, that motto has kept me going as I approach my 9th year in this business. In this episode we discuss health & wellness, mermaid melanson, coaching, the difference between motivation and determination and self-care.

After blossoming into an artist, I transformed from a simple artist to a savvy entrepreneur, using my marketing background and over 20 certifications in the beauty industry, to turn CB Beauty into a 7 figure business today. Piggy backing on CB Beauty's momentum, Cashelle Couture was born in 2019, my 2nd business, this time in the e-commerce space. A line of beauty products, marketed around female warriors, and driving women to step into entrepreneurship. 2021 launched The CB Mindset, my third business, where now, my purpose is to empower others to turn their passion into profits, and experience true fulfillment in a being their OWN definition of successful as entrepreneurs.
