Our conversation starter for today’s episode is: What projects are you working on right now that bring you joy? 

In today's episode we explored this topic with our friend Bessie Frimpong. Bessie is a fitness and lifestyle content creator. We loved having her on because we love what she is doing to motivate women to take charge of their health via fitness! Her content resonated with us right away, and we love seeing her inspiring posts! 

Today's topic brought up many different topics, as usual! We talked about being inspiring to other women in the fitness industry without looking like your stereotypical woman. How that makes you relatable and real. We also talked about how important affirmations are, especially for moms, and then we discussed diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and creating a culture that fosters inclusivity. Our conversation starters are designed to create more interesting and memorable social interactions.  

The great thing about our conversation starters is that they start off with one basic question, but will prompt a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and lead to other interesting topics. Use them and watch your relationships grow stronger as you share your answers and listen to others.
