What happens when you achieve the success you once dreamed of, but discover that your definition of happiness has changed? Fashion entrepreneur Nichole Lynel joins Anastarcia Palacious on Mentor Me: Lessons From Leaders Who Lived Them for a deeply personal conversation about ambition, entrepreneurship, family, heartbreak and faith. Nichole's love of fashion began in childhood. Years later, she was selling clothing out of her trunk, building a business online and working relentlessly toward her goals.

Nothing Was Wasted: Joy Jibrilu on the Unexpected Life That Prepared Her to Lead
Joy Jibrilu's life did not unfold according to plan, and some of its most unexpected chapters became the ones that prepared her most. In this episode of Mentor Me: Lessons From Leaders Who Lived Them, Joy joins host Anastarcia Palacious for a deeply personal conversation about the experiences behind her public life. Joy reflects on leaving The Bahamas for boarding school in England, navigating race and belonging, falling in love and moving to Nigeria, and how a trained barrister unexpectedly found herself teaching Grade 1. That opportunity would eventually lead to school leadership, raising $2 million to build a new school and experiences that would shape the leader she later became. Joy also shares the extraordinary story of a serious illness that changed her life and the long journey back. She discusses rebuilding, faith, knowing your worth, women and compensation, leadership, representing The Bahamas internationally and the responsibility of opening doors for those who come after you. She also explains why she refuses to describe The Bahamas as the “best little country” and what she means when she says: “Do not outsource your humanity.” This is Joy Jibrilu beyond the résumé: the choices, detours, difficult seasons and lessons that shaped the woman sitting at the table today.

From Cashier to COO: Adrianna Fox on Family Business, Motherhood and Legacy: Episode #3
Adrianna Fox started at Island Luck as a cashier. Today, she serves as its COO and co-shareholder while also helping lead the Fox Group of Companies. In this episode of Mentor Me, host Anastarcia Palacious asks Adrianna a question some people may already be thinking: Is she only COO because her father started the company? Adrianna responds by taking us through the work behind the title. She explains how she gained experience in customer service, cash management, human resources, operations and other areas of the business before advancing into executive leadership. She also discusses a side of success that people rarely see. Adrianna became a mother at 21, around the same time Island Luck began. She recalls attending her son’s soccer practice and realizing that the other parents did not know she was his mother because her own mother had attended the practices, games and school pickups while Adrianna worked. The conversation explores childhood epilepsy, working motherhood, family support, female leadership and the responsibility of building generational wealth. Adrianna and Anastarcia also discuss why women are often reluctant to talk about salaries, capital and financial goals, and how that silence can affect their ability to negotiate and grow. You will hear: Why Adrianna believes leaders should understand every level of a business How she responds to assumptions about her success What her childhood health challenges taught her about resilience The sacrifices she made as a young working mother Why accepting help does not make a woman less capable How women can create stronger financial and business networks The role of faith, curiosity and discipline in Adrianna’s growth What she wants future generations to remember about her legacy Mentor Me presents lessons from leaders who lived them.
