What’s the power of truly being seen when you’ve spent so long hiding? Acceptance, healing and joy could follow!

But this isn’t an episode about hair. It’s a conversation about finding freedom by owning ALL of your journey! @azizashuler is truly a gift and a LIGHT! ☀️☀️☀️

I’ve told thousands upon thousands of stories. Yet the hardest one to share is my own.

The career advice in business books and articles were ineffective. Either they were telling me as a woman to show up like a man. Or telling me as a Black person to assimilate. Or just ignoring the complicated dynamic of being Black and a woman or having a marginalized identity all together. (Baby if I lean in any further my face will be on the ground!)

Thank goodness for my squad that became an army to help me define my own rules and tell me I wasn’t crazy! That’s what I hope for YOU too! That you can live life on YOUR terms. Join our community at @thenextbestthingact to get the real on how others have walked this path. Trust me, your NEXT is within reach!

So much more to come! 💛💛💛

For so long I thought I needed more discipline, when what I really needed was to start saying NO!

It starts NOW!

No I don’t want to.
No I don’t have the time.
No I don’t have the energy.

What does it mean to make space?

Not just physically, but for the things we’ve been carrying without even realizing we’re carrying them.

In my conversation with @dionnadorsey she talked about clearing space in her creativity, her heart and her mind so she can actually receive what’s coming NEXT.

Sometimes we’re so focused on doing that we don’t stop to make room for what we truly want. Maybe that’s part of the work, too.

“I was paying rent on my past life.”

Whew!! How many of us are doing the same? 👀 Holding on to old versions of ourselves, things we’ve built, and chapters we’ve outgrown while trying to figure out what’s NEXT?

But what if the NEXT chapter doesn’t need to start right away? What if you need to make room for it first?

Dionna Dorsey and I had one of my favorite conversations about endings, identity, letting go, and giving yourself permission to sit in the in-between.

Dionna is truly REAL one! ❤️

Lately, every time I’m on this app I’m bombarded with messages about what I should be angry about. What I can’t have. What’s unjust and unfair.

It doesn’t feel like joy or hope has a place here but I wake up with it every day. And each day I’m planting seeds to make things happen despite the odds, the laws, and divisiveness.

Guess what? The harvest is coming too. And I have capacity for the deep gratitude that comes with the journey.

I believe hope is the pathway to liberation, not negativity. Be careful to what you’re consuming because it starts to stick. Remember…

Are you really stuck or are you not considering unconventional options?

Tell young people what it really takes to navigate the real world. How you responded to rejection. What it took to convince people to give you a chance. The responsibility to help others along the way.

Just because something is hard, doesn’t mean it’s inaccessible. Just because it doesn’t happen in your way or on your timeline doesn’t mean it’s not on the way.

Maybe this reminder isn’t just for young people. ❤️ by @nextbestthingpod

Waiting for the yes is even worse than rejection.

There’s a difficult space between what you’ve asked for and when it finally arrives.

It’s where the nights get long, doubt gets loud, and you start wondering if you should change the dream altogether.

This is a reminder to do whatever it takes to wait in expectation.

Your work just doesn’t have receipts yet.

❤️ In the meantime get friends like @blessed_lovelyt who will hold space while lending you their courage and faith when you can’t find your own.

You see the life you want while scrolling on your feed.

It feels like so many others have the opportunities.
The business.
The freedom.
The rooms you want to be in.

But do you know what it took to build it?

The years nobody saw.
The money invested before there was a return.
The rejection.
The scrutiny.
The uncomfortable decisions.
Did I say the rejection?

Remember, we may see the result. We rarely see the road that got them there.

That’s the question I’m unpacking in the new episode of The NEXT Best Thing.
