From Hustle to Harmony: A Black Woman's Guide to Owning Your Journey
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Like many Black women of my generation, I was raised with the ethos that I had to work twice as hard than my counterparts just to be recognized, yet alone get ahead.
This meant I was constantly on the go, constantly feeling the pressure to hustle and perform which led to my last bout of career burnout and I knew I had to do things differently.
It was then I realized I don’t have to follow the conventional path of success, I could define my own measures and go at my pace.
In this episode, I ditch the idea of a one-size-fits-all path to success and explore the power of going at your own pace.
Learn how to identify your limits, set SMART goals, and prioritize your well-being.
Discover the benefits of sustainable progress, quality over quantity, and increased self-awareness.
I'll also share actionable tips to help you reclaim your time and create a life that feels fulfilling.
So hunkerdown and join me in empowering you to move through life at a rhythm that feels good for YOU!

Why Black Women Have To Quit Settling For BS In Their Careers
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
This week, I'm delving into a disturbing yet unfortunately not uncommon incident involving Diane Abbott, a distinguished member of the UK parliament, and explore how sadly tolerating BS is a reality for many mature Black women stuck in jobs that are, well, past their prime.
We're getting real about the toll of the double bind of limited opportunities, the financial tightrope many of us walk, and the weight of that "strong Black woman" stereotype. We'll also get real about the toll this BS takes on our well-being, from wrecking our self-esteem to being treated like you're invisible.
So, if you're nodding along thinking, "Yeah, that's totally me," then it's time to ask yourself: why are you settling for less?
I'm here to shake things up, spark some change, and remind you that staying silent is no longer an option.
