Founded Affairs of ISIS Events, later rebranded to Affairs of Influence (AOA Events and PR) due to public perception issues with the name “ISIS.” 🔁 Rebranding Lessons Rebranding was prompted by client feedback and public confusion.

Uplift: A self-empowering Air Force veteran tells you how to bet on yourself and believe it.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Yasmine Cheyenne. 📝 Summary of the Interview Yasmine Cheyenne, an Air Force veteran, mental wellness advocate, and author, joined Rushion McDonald to discuss her journey from a disadvantaged upbringing to becoming a published author and wellness coach. She shared insights from her books—The Sugar Jar and her latest, Wisdom of the Path—which focus on boundaries, healing, and self-empowerment. The conversation explored her military experience, personal transformation, and how she helps others confront fear and reclaim their lives. 🔑 Key Takeaways 1. Overcoming Fear and Taking Risks Fear of failure and disappointment keeps many people stuck. Yasmine encourages people to confront fear and take action anyway. Her own decision to join the Air Force was a leap of faith that changed her life. 2. Military Discipline and Life Lessons The Air Force taught her discipline, consistency, and resilience. She applies these lessons to her personal and professional life. Quote: “Do you want to bet on yourself? Be willing to believe in yourself.” 3. Writing as Empowerment Her first book, The Sugar Jar, focuses on boundaries and self-care. Her second book, Wisdom of the Path, is about using past experiences as wisdom, not shame. Writing helped her transform her life and inspire others from similar backgrounds. 4. Boundaries and Self-Prioritization Without boundaries, people become overwhelmed and resentful. Saying “no” and advocating for yourself is essential to mental wellness. Quote: “We have to get comfortable letting people be disappointed with us.” 5. Redefining “Selfish” Being selfish is often misunderstood. Prioritizing yourself is necessary for success and well-being. Quote: “Every successful person has had to be selfish at some point.” 6. Wisdom of the Path The book encourages readers to trust their instincts and take the next step. It’s not a checklist—it’s a collection of relatable stories and reflections. Quote: “Use those experiences that you’re judging yourself for as wisdom to help you move forward.” 7. Mental Wellness Practice Yasmine helps people through coaching, writing, and speaking. She emphasizes healing through storytelling and shared experiences. 8. Accessibility Her books are available in print, digital, and audio formats. She personally narrates the audiobook version of Wisdom of the Path. 💬 Notable Quotes “Even if things fail, you have what it takes to get yourself to where you want to be.” “Take the meat and leave the bone.” “You already know what the next step is. What would happen if you just took it?” “We’ve been an enemy toward ourselves for years and don’t even realize it.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
