I called in my business accountability buddy for this one. In working on business self-care, it’s always a good idea to get support.  Andrew and I discuss what we’ve learned about ourselves in this stage of our businesses and what areas of our selfcare need improvement. We both took the selfcare assessment and implemented strategies in the selfcare workbook to address our selfcare needs. Check out our selfcare workbook!

I had a rough week with the business. There were some missteps and plans that failed. After a couple of days, I had to fight to improve my mindset, focus, and confidence.

127. Guess Who's Back

Rheeda Walker

Are y’all tired like I am? I’ve found that this pandemic has slowed me down and made tasks more of a chore than usual. I think we might be experiencing Pandemic Fatigue. Dr. Walker shares her gems and provides some solutions on how to move forward. Dr. Rheeda Walker is an award-winning Professor of psychology, a fellow in the American Psychological Association and a leading scholar who has published more than 60 scientific papers on African American mental health, suicide risk, and emotional resilience. She is also a licensed clinical psychologist who prepares doctoral students for independent careers. Dr. Walker's impact has expanded beyond academia and she has quickly become a fan favorite with the release of her first book, The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health. Delving into the heart of the Black experience, Dr. Walker debunks myths about mental health, builds the case for psychological fortitude, and delivers practical advice for use in everyday life. Her charismatic vision and practical approach to life’s challenges has led to numerous appearances on Good Morning America, The Breakfast Club, and NPR, among others. She is often quoted in major publications like the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, GQ Magazine, and the Houston Chronicle.

How do you manage stress and worry that stalls your projects? When is it a good time to step back and address fear about what you’ve created? Well this is THE SPACE; this is OUR SPACE as Black Entrepreneurs to get those needs met. This movement is both professional and oh so personal. I’m glad you’ve found us. Welcome to the family!

Entering 2020 I decided to be more intentional on Podcasts that can help me become a better person.

84. Healthy Partnerships in Entrepreneurship featuring Sharon Lawrence

Deseray Hamilton

For those who have ever been curious about how therapists train, take a listen. The road to becoming a licensed mental health professional can be filled with bumps and hurdles. Deseray and I discuss the training involved to provide quality mental health services and she shares her journey. Deseray is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in the state of Florida, on her journey towards full licensure. She’s a mother, pain to purpose pusher, and entrepreneur! After having a former clinical supervisor go MIA without signing off on her clinical hours, Deseray was forced to restart her supervision process, delaying her time to become a fully licensed clinician! From this experience, she created Supervision Support. Her company connects professionals seeking supervision with supervisors who are ethically grounded and are willing to mentor, guide, and develop new clinicians who are on their way to becoming fully licensed. Her hope is that what happened to her never happens again and she can build a community of mental health professionals who are passionate, honest, and committed to bettering the field.

Lauren Elliott

Black Entrepreneurs it’s time to check in. How many of us have a self-care regime that supports our schedule and needs? As we juggle more roles in our daily lives and transition into and out of roles we need to ensure that we are replenishing. Lauren shares her story and solution to making self-care a priority. Lauren Elliott is a former journalist and became a holistic health advocate after she experienced an emergency delivery of her son only eight months after getting married. As a child, Lauren was drawn to storytelling and entered a creative writing contest at the age of 8. She eventually won that contest along with a spot on the front page of her school’s newsletter, which fueled a passion and curiosity for shedding light on communities who’ve gone unheard. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Media and Women’s Studies from the University at Albany and Master’s degree in Public Affairs Journalism. Now, she spends her time connecting millions of New Yorkers to healthier lifestyles by day while offering millennial women of color a practical approach to self-care as Founder of CandleLit Box. Giving birth motivated her to turn a fearful experience into a mission-based subscription service that eases the process of setting aside time for personal wellness prior to crisis situations. Through monthly delivery of books, candles, tea and wellness products, Lauren helps Black and Brown women manage their stress during major life events - whether it's college, promotion or motherhood.

This episode is filled with smart and savvy ideas about how to stay encouraged and brave day to day. Latricia Clark Letsinger is a wife, mother, and Gigi from rural North Carolina who always had a passion for fashion. She has long been donned a Fashionista; receiving Best-Dressed superlative honors in both High School and College. Studying Business, Fashion, and Retail Management sparked, even more-so her love of clothing and desire for her own business.   Latricia believes in the power of “writing your vision and making it plain.” Over 15 years ago, while caring for a paralyzed and incapacitated mother, she named her business and perfected her business plan. This was the conception of what it is now, Elegant Occasions Limited LLC the world’s first and only mobile formal wear boutique that she began with her husband. Latricia sits at the helm as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.   In August 2018, Latricia published her first edition of Designing Women Magazine. Having experienced tough times as a child and throughout adulthood, she wanted to create a platform where she’d divulge her lifelong struggles and pains in hopes of helping someone else dealing with issues of their own. Latricia began writing in high school and continued throughout college. She would journal her experiences, which ultimately, led to her creating poetry. She always felt destined to publish, and her peers encouraged her to write a book. Designing Women Magazine is Latricia’s creative heart to women all over the world; her way of rallying others to find their “WHY” in life that leads to living their best lives!

69. Authenticity grows your Black Business featuring Bianca Hughes

Lisa Phillips

Representation matters. As Black Entrepreneurs we may find that our audience may be comprised of people that look just like us. What ways are you catering and considering your audience? Lisa gives us solid advice on how to prepare for and maintain our ideal audiences. In the recession of 2009, Lisa Phillips lost her job and home to foreclosure. She was left with a 35k condo and only enough money to renovate the place doing the work myself to stretch my unemployment check. She reached the bottom; an electrical engineer with no job. Coping with my new reality, she came upon a strategy of owning inexpensive rental properties for cash flow that was possible, even when a traditional mortgage wasn’t obtainable. As her strategy started to show consistent results, she started teaching others about it on her platform Affordable Real Estate Investments. Now, Lisa hand walks working professionals through creating their own passive income portfolio to $2,000 - $4,000 a month in income, which gives them the starting point to financial freedom. From there, Lisa always encourages her clients to think about what happens after they reach their target goals, and what their higher calling is after using properties as a tool to make that dream a reality.

Representation matters. As Black Entrepreneurs we may find that our audience may be comprised of people that look just like us. What ways are you catering and considering your audience? Lisa gives us solid advice on how to prepare for and maintain our ideal audiences. In the recession of 2009, Lisa Phillips lost her job and home to foreclosure. She was left with a 35k condo and only enough money to renovate the place doing the work myself to stretch my unemployment check. She reached the bottom; an electrical engineer with no job. Coping with my new reality, she came upon a strategy of owning inexpensive rental properties for cash flow that was possible, even when a traditional mortgage wasn’t obtainable. As her strategy started to show consistent results, she started teaching others about it on her platform Affordable Real Estate Investments. Now, Lisa hand walks working professionals through creating their own passive income portfolio to $2,000 - $4,000 a month in income, which gives them the starting point to financial freedom. From there, Lisa always encourages her clients to think about what happens after they reach their target goals, and what their higher calling is after using properties as a tool to make that dream a reality.
