Hey there!
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend and marketer, Ahrif Sarumi, to discuss the concept of the Lizard Brain, and more importantly, how to quiet it! So many of us have goals and dreams that we can’t go a day without thinking about, but we’re just too scared to pursue them. That feeling is no mistake! There is a part of our brain called the amygdala, and it’s job is to provide us with our most primal instincts: fear, hunger and arousal. It drives us to fend off predators and protect ourselves from harm. In theory, it’s a blessing, but the key is learning how to push past it, so that we can take risks and achieve all that God has in store for us!
In our interview, I share my personal struggle with getting past my lizard brain, and why The Coffey Break Chat is such a big part of this process. Take a look below for Ahrif’s three tips on how to overcome being your biggest obstacle! Enjoy!

Silk Road
This look revolved around a busy day of activities. Like most Thursday’s, I needed a vibe that would translate well in several different types of environments: work, a networking event and dinner. Fortunately, this BCBG top from Nordstrom Rack and Steve Madden wedges did the trick.
Posting all these looks has actually revealed to me that I have had a huge fashion crush on BCBG for the longest time lol –like prior to even really knowing the brand and all its fashionable goodness. There’s just just something about their silhouettes and classic attention to detail and designer that win me over time and time again.
Interestingly, I had the pleasure of interviewing BCBG’s Chief Creative Officer Lubov Azria at Fashion Houston last year. Not only is her story incredibly touching, I told her about my nonprofit Mia’s Closet when we finished the interview, and she invited me to a private event at Nordstrom the following day! –I’m still excited if you can’t tell haha What I love is that it is a firsthand priority for her to not only be a leader in her organization, but accessible to her team as well. To say the least, she has set such a great example, and I look forward to following suit given the platform. To this day I’m still super smitten –making my ongoing love affair with their brand all the more appealing. Visit the following link to see our interview as she hares the inspiring story behind her vision:
