• Ep 142: Building Together, Winning Big & Trusting the Reset w/ Sydney Sweets

    In this episode of Tasha Talks Life, I sit down with Sydney Perry, co-owner of a thriving bakery built alongside her husband, rooted in faith, risk, and consistency.

    Sydney shares how what started as a hobby turned into a full business, even while navigating motherhood, a career in finance, and eventually stepping out on faith to open a storefront. She opens up about winning on the Food Network, the discipline it took to stay focused, and the power of having the right support system in place.

    We also talk about marriage and business, staying grounded while growing, and what it looks like to be in a reset season, personally and professionally.

    This conversation is a reminder that growth isn’t always loud… but when you stay consistent, aligned, and open to God’s direction, breakthrough will come.

  • Ep 141: Following Your Natural Gifts to Purpose w. Dr. Neva Alexander

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neva Alexander, owner of NevAlliance, for a powerful conversation about purpose, calling, and trusting what comes naturally to you.

    Dr. Neva shares how her work wasn’t something she forced or carefully scripted, it was shaped through life experiences, early signs of her gifts, and a deep understanding of service. We talk about recognizing your natural talents, navigating the frustration of monetizing what comes easily to you, and learning patience while the bigger picture unfolds.

    This episode is a reminder that your gifts are not accidental. When you honor them, stay consistent, and trust the process, fulfillment and impact will follow. Sometimes the work chooses you, before you choose it.
