WHAT IF

…your self-worth was no longer synonymous with your job title?

…your identity was aligned with your values, instead of your work?

…you designed your work around your life, and not the other way around

TAKE A DEEP BREATH. GRAB MY HAND. LET GO OF HUSTLE CULTURE.

YOU GOT INTO YOUR FIELD OF WORK BECAUSE YOU CARE DEEPLY ABOUT BEING OF SERVICE TO OTHERS.

BUT THE REALITY IS…

You can’t be of service to others when you don’t have enough gas in the tank to sustain yourself, let alone care for your family and relationship.

You’ve been brought up in a society that preaches the gospel of working yourself into the ground with little reward to show for it, except burnout, of course.

You pay for it by sacrificing your precious time, values, and sense of self (oh, and don’t forget to add tax for black women!).

Repeat after me.

WHITE SUPREMACY AND CAPITALISM CAN’T HAVE MY BODY.

- TRICIA HERSEY

You’ve been scratching and clawing your way to the top to prove your value— that you’re smart, qualified, and capable. But I’ve got news for you:

you’re holding yourself to an impossible standard.

YOU CAME FOR THERAPY, BUT I’M TEACHING YOU A NEW LANGUAGE.

You’re here now. Ready to f*ck around and find out how liberating letting go of the Strong Black Woman narrative can really be. Why not bet on yourself?

Create a life that feels meaningful and rich with fluency in the language (and lifestyle) of self-care and wellness as a black, professional, working woman in modern society.

IN OTHER WORDS:

You’re trained to communicate with logic, but the manual is written in emotional connection.

Uh, oh. There’s no google translate for this one. So what do you do?

YOU’RE SO DAMN GOOD AT:

  • making more money

  • checking off the boxes

  • and collecting those accolades

You can DO all the things all day long. But in order to make the impact you’re envisioning, you have to BE there for yourself and HAVE your own needs met.

THAT’S WHERE I COME IN...

I’ll be your nurturing yet direct, Black, southern, fairy-Godmother with a penchant for profanities and a serious passion for helping black professional women get back to who they’re truly meant to be.

HERE’S WHAT WILL HAPPEN:

  • Start connecting with yourself on a deeper level, so that you can find strength and peace from within.

  • Learn to create boundaries. Less patients. More patience and grace for yourself.

  • Feel fulfilled through self-validation, so that you feel equally successful watching your little one take off on two wheels and delivering a keynote. 

  • Find it easy to separate yourself from your work without guilt, so you can be present with your family.

  • You’ll get a raise…in time, your most precious asset.

When you make yourself a priority, you get to create the rules about what success, happiness, and wealth actually look like.
