Chanelle Molina of Brentwood on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Chanelle Molina. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Chanelle, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity is MOST important, definitely. No amount of intelligence or good energy can take the place of it. They can accompany it in a positive way, but they cannot replace integrity.

Nothing can.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! My name is Chanelle T. Molina of the Chanelle T. Molina Collective, LLC. Under this umbrella, I do Live-in Infant/Parent Support (dba Nanny Belle), Cooking/Baking Consulting (Chanelle T. Molina Consulting), and catering for weddings/celebrations (Just Stick a Fork in It). I’ve been in business for over 10 years and have been very lucky to be a part of so many of my clients’ special days. And that goes for Nanny Belle clients, too.

The most unique part of the Nanny Belle experience is that I don’t just take care of the tiny humans, I care for the big humans, too! Making sure the whole family is shown grace and love is most imperative in my business.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My dad, Bobby. I don’t think there’s been someone since him that has seen me, all the way to my core. Any ounce of self esteem/confidence/assurance came from him. He made me feel like I could do anything because of how sure he was that I could. He passed away in 2002 when I was 16.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
“It wasn’t your fault or your responsibility.”

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
I’m Japanese, Filipino, and Mexican…so I’m always going to make sure you have eaten. Feeding people is how we (Islanders/Latins) make sure you know you are loved and your wellbeing is considered.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What are you doing today that won’t pay off for 7–10 years?
Today, I’m attempting to mend some childhood core wounds. Though it pays off very slowly, I don’t think I’ll see all of the results for about that long. I don’t really care how long it takes as long as I see it in my lifetime.
