On my podcast, Black Woman Rising

S2E8 I'm Getting Ready – Black Woman Rising

Send us a textThank you so much for listening! I give a little background on why y'all ain't heard from me last week *insert eyes emoji*. In this one, I talk about some of the mindset shifts I've been struggling with and how I kept asking God for the same things without putting in enough work to show that I'm ready for and actually want those things. I also mention how I'm struggling to reconcile my feelings of being behind or taking a step backward which leaves me feeling ashamed/embarrassed. For no real reason, I know, but bear with me here… I'm tryna keep it real with y'all. This episode was heavily inspired by one of my sheroes, AJ Johnson. I reference an Instagram video she did where she talks about begging God. If you wanted to see her video (trust me, you want to) here it is:  Do you repeat prayers?Musical Title Muse: I'm Getting Ready by Tasha Cobbs Leonard ft.

Just wondering. Mine was dealing with perfectionism and imposter syndrome. What is or was yours?

I combat it by reminding myself of my accomplishments, that I’m knowledgeable in my field, and that in my 9-5 I manage the finances of an organization who’s budget runs between $8M-$11M a year. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It can be hard to get out of your own head, but I find fighting doubts with facts helps if I beat the out of control spiral to the punch.

We’re still at the top of a new year. Although it’s about to get crazy for me with @autryllc I plan on doing more work with high schoolers and pre-professional programs focused on Black students 💜 ⁣
