Nurturing Growth: A Transformative Podcast Episode with Tariq Pinkston

Hey!

I hope this newsletter finds you in good spirits and thriving in your journey of self-discovery. I hope it also finds you excited about that process. No need to be so serious my friend.


Speaking of not being serious, I'm excited to share the highlights of a recent podcast episode that I had the pleasure of hosting with the incredible Tariq Pinkston, a devoted husband, father, and Body Activist Coach. I am beyond blessed to say I have known Tariq since he was 19 and have a special place in my heart for him, his inner and outer beauty (come on! The dude is handsome!), and his soul-driven desire to help others.


When we had our store in Pittsfield, he would stop in and bring his beaming smile, reverent humor, respect for the space, and Howard, my late husband, who ran the retail portion of the center. Tariq was special to Howard, too, as that was when we were going through some stuff with Howard’s kids, and Tariq, being the same age, filled the hole Howard was experiencing with his adult children. I’ve always been grateful for his presence in my life and am so pumped to have him on the show and have you get to know him, too.


So, check it out, and hey, maybe subscribe while you're there!
