Bucketwish with Ericka Nicole Malone, featuring Karima El-Hakkaoui My guest today has built a career many people only dream about. Karima El-Hakkaoui has worked with some of the world's biggest brands, including Cosmopolitan, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, IKEA and Harrods.

Then life tested her in the hardest way, when she lost her husband to cancer. Instead of letting grief define her next chapter, Karima took everything she'd learned and turned it toward her real passion: styling.

Today she runs a thriving styling business. It's how she's living her own bucket wish, and how she helps her clients find theirs.

Karima's work goes deeper than clothes. She helps people build their identity and get clear on what they're telling the world about themselves before they say a word. In a lot of ways, she's a coach. We talk about rebuilding after loss, finding purpose in what you already know, and the power of showing up as yourself.

Ericka sits down with Zoie Brogdon, a young equestrian who has already made her mark in one of the most demanding sports in the world.

Zoie talks about how she got her start in the saddle, and about the early mornings, hard work, and determination it took to become one of the standout riders of her generation.

She also shares the bond between horse and rider, what competing at the top level really takes, and where she's headed next, with the Olympics on the horizon. For anyone chasing a big dream, this conversation shows what it looks like to commit to one completely.

I'm so excited to introduce today's guest because he had such an impact on my life. David Sepulveda is the reason I got back in the water. When I was young, I went through something traumatic in the water, and I never swam again. I was terrified for years.

David became my teacher, my coach, and my mentor, and he got me swimming again.

Today, we're talking about how many people are afraid of water, how you overcome that fear, and what to do to save yourself if you're ever in trouble. I can't wait for you to hear his story.

Welcome, David.
