Listen Later

In this soul-baring episode, we’re diving into the essential art of niching down and why knowing your target audience is the ultimate cheat code for mastering the algorithm. But as any business owner knows, your professional growth is only as strong as your personal foundation.

We’re getting real about the "America’s Next Top Model" documentary—dissecting the patterns of Tyra Banks and the "Black Female Boss" archetype that feels the need to drag others through the same fire they survived. I’m sharing my own journey of forgiveness with a former boss and the "Aha!" moment where I realized how my own lack of confidence set the stage for how I was treated.

Finally, we wrap up with a vulnerable look at inner child healing. From 7th-grade insecurities about glasses and the "male gaze" to making God laugh with my "plans" to stop doing self-work, I’m talking about what it looks like to choose yourself every single day.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why a niche is your best friend in a crowded market.

• The difference between "going with the flow" and holding yourself accountable.

• The "Circle-Square-Circle" pattern: Why people repeat who they are.

• Healing the 13-year-old girl inside of you.
