Join Chantée Christian as she sits down with Ramall Johnson, a man whose journey exemplifies living with purpose, faith, and service. From mortgage lending to managing an Apple store and now Wells Fargo, Ramall shares how each step has been guided by a deep commitment to serving others.

In this episode, Ramall reflects on the distinction between hard work and obedience to God’s calling, challenging us to consider whether we’re simply working hard or truly following divine guidance. He also emphasizes the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people during moments of doubt, as they can either fuel our success or serve as an excuse for failure.

Have you ever felt a tug in your gut, urging you to take a leap into the unknown? That's the siren call of intuition, a force that Dr. Carolyn and I, Chantée Christian, dissect through candid conversation and shared experiences. Our anecdotes reveal how leaning into intuition not only propels us forward but also fosters personal growth.

Parenting comes with its own set of trials, often entangled with guilt and self-doubt when our children struggle. We peel back the layers of these complex emotions, offering solace and understanding to parents grappling with feelings of blame.

We celebrate intuition's role as an invisible compass in our decision-making process. Listen as we unpack the synergy between intuition and support, and why embracing both can transform the paths we tread.

After graduating from Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, she attended Spelman College in Atlanta, GA.
