 Stress has become an unavoidable side effect of life as a high-achieving woman. My goal is not to help you become stress-free but to help you have freedom from stress. The best way to tackle rising stress levels is to prepare ourselves and begin to learn how to...

Stress is everywhere; it impacts everyone and pervades all aspects of our lives. And over time it can negatively impact your health and well-being. How you manage stress is related to your thoughts about yourself, your relationship with yourself, your relationship...

I know it is the eve of Valentine's Day, but guess what? I won’t be talking about love in this episode. Instead, I want to continue the conversation around failure because I want us as black women to drop the mask, do our epic sh*t, and embrace failure along the...

Over the past four years, I have spent countless hours coaching high-achieving women of color to change their life and accomplish their epic shit. While I am clear on what I do and how I help people, I want to make sure that you are also clear on what I do and exactly...

In a world that keeps preaching on and on about self-love, it’s hard to believe that self-love is not easy. In fact, self-love, much like other forms of love, takes work, time, and patience to cultivate. We've been sold this bill of goods that says love should come...

As high-achieving women of color, we know what it feels like to walk into a room and be the only one who looked like you. To be asked your opinion on a project that lacks diversity and inclusion. To frequently be asked to participate in conversations where the...

Queen, are you waiting to level up when you feel ready? Are you waiting to solve for everything that can possibly happen before you take the next step? Listen, ready is not a thang! “Being ready” is a measure of whether we think we will fail or succeed at something,...

Hey guys! Welcome back to the podcast. This is a super quick message because I wanted to get it in its rawest form. To explain this point I will use the example of a purchase. When it comes to making a purchase, we often get really excited when we are able to get the...

Are you playing squirrel with your decisions? This happens when we make a decision and instead of honoring the decision, we keep remaking the same decision over and over again. We do this because deep down we think that the answer to accomplishing that decision is...

In episode 85, we talk about failure and understanding and embracing that failure is the way to winning. We do this by looking at failure as data that we can use as a strategy to create epic shit without the drama.  This episode is a side note on failure. You see, the...

You know that saying, “If You Fail to Plan, You Are Planning to Fail”. Well, what if you decided that “I plan to fail therefore I plan to win”?  What if we understood and embraced that failure was the way to winning and if we don't plan to fail, we don't plan to...
