Show notes

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tabitha Carr. Founder of Good Girl Chocolate: 🎯 Purpose of the Interview The interview centers on: Dr. Carr’s personal health journey and transformation. The creation and mission behind Good Girl Chocolate. Empowering women through health, wellness, and entrepreneurship. Educating listeners on plant-based lifestyles and moderation. 🍫 Key Takeaways 1. Personal Health Transformation Dr. Carr was placed on blood pressure medication at age 16 and weighed nearly 300 pounds by age 30. She struggled with hormone issues, fibroids, and self-esteem. A shift to natural health and lifestyle changes helped her lose over 80 pounds and reverse her health issues. Quote: “I asked my doctor, why do I have to take medicine? I’m 16. She said, so you don’t have a stroke at 30.” 2. Empowerment Through Education and Action Her chapter in the book Open Your Gifts is titled “Are You Ready to Free Yourself?” and focuses on triumph over health challenges. She emphasizes the importance of self-worth, personal power, and leading with your gifts. Quote: “I felt like a hypocrite… I can’t tell anyone how to live healthy when I’m 300 pounds.” 3. Creation of Good Girl Chocolate Born from her need for a sweet treat during a raw diet. Uses clean, plant-based ingredients: coconut sugar, no dairy, soy, or gluten. Supports various lifestyles: vegan, paleo, Whole30, and diabetic-friendly (with sugar-free options). Quote: “It’s called Good Girl Chocolate because you can eat it every day and still say you’ve been good.” 4. Moderation Is Key Dr. Carr stresses that even plant-based foods should be consumed in moderation. She advises against overindulgence and promotes balance in diet and lifestyle. Quote: “Just because it’s plant-based doesn’t mean you should eat a whole wagon full of potato chips.” 5. Recognition and Growth Good Girl Chocolate has been featured in Grammy and Oscar gift bags. Received a grant from Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation. Opened a brick-and-mortar store in Oklahoma’s Penn Square Mall. Quote: “I saw my chocolate on the list and cried. It was confirmation I’m doing something right.” 6. Support Network and Faith Credits her parents, sorority sisters (Alpha Kappa Alpha), and friends like Kim Coles for their support. Attributes her success to faith and strong relationships. Quote: “Your network is your net worth… I believe in God. God is first in my life.” 🌟 Notable Moments Rushion McDonald’s enthusiastic endorsement of the chocolate. Dr. Carr’s emotional reaction to Beyoncé’s support. The emphasis on storytelling behind the product, not just its taste. #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
