Unlocking Your Inner Magic: Lessons from Dr. CC's Transformative Workshop

Unlocking Your Inner Magic: Lessons from Dr. CC's Transformative Workshop





Embracing M.A.G.I.C. at the "Leaning Into Your M.A.G.I.C." Workshop 



Happy Thursday, Queen Connect Readers!


On June 19th, I had the transformative experience of attending Dr. Christi Culpepper-Walker’s "Leaning Into Your M.A.G.I.C" virtual workshop. This event was a powerful reminder of the importance of self-empowerment, self-love, and showing up for oneself. 

It was designed to help women discover and lean into their M.A.G.I.C.—an acronym for Mannerisms, Attitude, Genuineness, Identity, and Core Values. These elements, she explained, are key to walking out our purpose with boldness and authenticity. 



Discovering My Own Magic 



The workshop was not just a series of lectures; it was an interactive journey of self-discovery. Dr. CC, as she is affectionately known, emphasized the critical message of showing up for oneself—a message that resonated deeply with many women, including myself. 

One of the most poignant takeaways for me was realizing that sometimes we need permission to shine. I’ve often found myself dimming my light due to fear and self-doubt. Dr. CC’s workshop was a wake-up call, encouraging me to embrace my own magic and step into my full potential. 


In our post-workshop interview, Dr. CC shared invaluable insights into the importance of having a strong social support system. Positive responses from those close to us can significantly influence how we perceive ourselves and our capabilities. This support helps us to think differently about our own worth and potential. It was a reminder that surrounding oneself with positive, uplifting people is crucial for personal growth and empowerment.




Dr. CC shared the inspiring origin story of the workshop. It all started with a simple yet profound conversation with a friend. As they were both approaching the age of 40, they began discussing their aspirations and what they wanted to achieve before this milestone.


Dr. CC expressed a desire to be free—free from societal expectations, self-imposed limitations, and anything that held her back. This conversation sparked the creation of the "Leaning Into Your M.A.G.I.C" workshop, aiming to help women everywhere discover their own paths to freedom and self-empowerment.


This year, I’m also looking forward to the Free Before 40 conference, held annually in Baltimore, MD. For those who cannot attend in person, there is a virtual entry option, making it accessible to a global audience. 




The conference promises a rich array of international speakers, coaches, and activities all centered around the theme of freedom. Attendees can expect engaging workshops, opportunities to shop from diverse vendors, and even wellness activities such as reiki and massage therapy. The conference will also feature a movement activity led by a wellness coach, along with music and a delicious lunch. 


Attending Dr. CC's workshop was a transformative experience that reinforced the importance of self-empowerment and the need for a supportive community. It reminded me and many others that it’s okay to shine, to embrace our magic, and to strive for the freedom to be our authentic selves. 


I encourage every woman to seek out these empowering experiences and to remember that we all deserve to live free and fulfilled lives. Stay tuned for more insights and reflections from Queen Connect, and I look forward to seeing you at the Free Before 40 conference!

Why You Might Be Paying More Than Your Neighbor for the Same Product

Surveillance Pricing: The Hidden Cost of Your Personal Data Have you ever noticed that prices seem to fluctuate depending on how and where you shop? Maybe you’ve used Instacart or another grocery delivery app and found that the price of your favorite milk online is higher than what you’d pay in-store. At first, these small discrepancies might seem like an unavoidable part of online shopping. But what if I told you that businesses might be charging you more based on who you are? Surveillance pricing is a practice where companies use personal data—such as your age, gender, income level, or even your location—to adjust the prices you see. Essentially, what you pay for everyday items could depend on what retailers assume you can afford. A recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) study revealed how this type of pricing discrimination is becoming more common, with companies using advanced algorithms to analyze consumer behavior and set prices accordingly. For example, someone shopping in a low...

The Ones Closest to You Can Hurt You The Worst.

 The Ones Closest to You Can Hurt You the Worst. It’s cold down here in sunny Florida so I’m bundled up at the office, but I had to share something that came across my mind. I thought about a conversation I had with a friend years ago. I didn’t quite get to finish my thought, but I said all of this to say, “when someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.” Thank you, Maya Angelou. Sometimes the ones closest to you and know you best are the ones they can hurt you the most because they have the information. They know you. If you’ve been in relationship (friend or family or romantic) for a long time they understand the things that can hurt, you through trial and error. It’s never an accident when they scare you with spiders when you’ve told them you’re afraid of them. They know what to do to move you emotionally and sometimes it’s only for their sick and twisted enjoyment. It’s not friendship and it never was. And when they show you that, even in a “joke” trust and...
