You hit the goal. You accomplished the thing you've been working so hard for. But then… the quiet sets in. And you're left asking: What comes next?

In this week's episode of the Dreams In Drive podcast, I sit down with writer and author Keyaira Boone to explore what life looks like after the dream. From landing her dream job at Essence to navigating pandemic pivots, Keyaira shares the lessons she's learned about self-worth, burnout, and staying in alignment when the path ahead isn't clear.

If you're in a season of transition—or redefining what success means to you—this episode will meet you right where you are.

Some of the topics we explore:

• What young Keyaira would tell Keyaira of today
• What it was like building her dreams and accepting opportunities as they come
• Why working at Essence was life-changing
• How the pandemic reshaped her vision for self
• What it means to stay in alignment when your path isn't clear
• Protecting your name and narrative in a world that tries to define you
• How she handles doubt, burnout, and redefining value beyond metrics
• Why you need to focus on who you are, and what you do

Keyaira reminds us that we are not just what we do—we are who we are becoming. If you've ever felt lost after the win or nervous about what's next, this episode is for you.

🗝️ Because at the end of the day we all want to be...Still glowing. Still growing. Still going.
