Capacity Conversations

Welcome to the Flow and Flourish Podcast. This is what I like to call a “sister-friend” community, which is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are either in corporate, an entrepreneur of a combination of the two, on top of being moms, wives, caregivers, big sister’s or just the go-to person in our circles of friends and families. Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.

When is the last time to you gave yourself permission to pause? Like REALLY pause from it all… unapologetically? At this time of year, especially, we run ourselves raggedy trying to show others how much we love them, we give more than we have, and at the end of the year many of us are at the end of our ropes. Literally and figuratively!

In today’s episode, I give you all the tea on giving myself permission to pause (and it was hard for me y’all), and more importantly I share a ton of information on how and why you should give your permission to pause too!

Specifically, I talk about that thoughts that come up when you consider pausing, some of the signs we see when it’s time to pause and then give you the rundown on the benefits of pausing:

3 Thoughts that Keep you from Pausing

1.  If I don’t do it, it won’t get done

4 Signs You Need to Pause

1. You have NO motivation

Benefits of Pausing

1. Peace of mind

I don’t know about you, but I believe that we all have greatness within us, and sometimes, it just needs to be activated! 

If you believe that too, then you don’t want to miss this week’s podcast.

In today’s episode, I talk with Marsha-Ann Donalson, who is the host of the international Live YouTube show “Real Talk with Marsha-Ann”. Her purpose driven mission is to empower women to activate their greatness and guide them in transforming their lives to one of purpose, passion and prosperity.

She teaches her formula for activating our greatness by learning how to L.E.A.D.

L - Let go 

E - Empower yourself

A - Activate what’s within

D - Decide to stick with it

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.

After spending over 18 years in Corporate America, I, like many other women of color, came to the painful realization that it’s not set up to support us. However, we have the power to change that by having transparent conversations. 

This has fueled my work as both an HR leader and Capacity Coach, as I’ve made it my mission to help as many women and business as possible to understand how our professional lives are impacted by what’s going on in our personal lives.

In today’s episode, I talk openly and honestly about my experience as an HR leader and being a Black Woman. I share tips on 

• How black women can navigate corporate

Do you work your muscles on a regular basis? In order for them to function properly and support us like they’re supposed to, we gotta work ‘em out! But for some reason, we don’t always take that same approach when it comes to our faith… which is also a muscle!

In today’s episode, I talk with Faith Mentor, Daphne Butts, who after receiving a life altering health diagnosis at the age of 27, has used her faith to LITERALLY heal herself, and WITHOUT  the doctor recommended medication. Yes, you heard me right!

Now, she uses the strength in her faith muscle to help other women of faith through her coaching company, Healing through Intentional Victory, by looking to God to work in three key areas:

Mindset - shifting it to support you

Mouthpiece - what you speak over yourself

Management - managing what you intake

Daphne gives us all kinda nuggets to help us get our #faithflow together. Listen to this week’s episode to learn how to:

1.   Build our faith muscle

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis.

Now that we are officially in the last quarter of the year, I want you to take some time and think about all that you've already accomplished. Instead of focusing on what you DIDN’T get done on your list of goals, let’s shift to what you DID do!

Because we are in the age of instant success + instant gratification, it’s soooooo easy to minimize the small things you’ve done that have gotten you where you are today. That’s why I believe it’s essential, not just important, to celebrate the small stuff.

In today’s episode, I share with you:

• 5 Reasons why you need to celebrate your wins

After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with me on social media. I love to hear how this is helping you, so make sure you tag me on Facebook or Instagram with your favorite takeaway from the episode, as well as what win you’re celebrating this week.

As a Capacity Coach, my philosophy is that when you flow effortlessly, you flourish tremendously. And when you do, it allows you to show up in excellence in all the areas of your life. Because I’ve been in your shoes, I am excited to be your guide on this journey.

I know it may sound weird at first to say or think to yourself – I am a business… but you really are.  And you are BIG   BUSINESS, as one of my coaches and mentors Brittany Burrell says.

She shares her 20+ years of experience working as a global marketer for companies such as Disney and Exon Mobile and why each and everyone one of us needs to live and run our lives like the businesses we are.

I realized during my break from the podcast that I only did a handful of episodes around faith. So what better way to jump into the new season than with an episode that will leave you feeling like a sermon on a Tuesday?

As a Wife, Mother and woman of faith, she is called to minister and mentor women and passionate about helping women reinvent themselves following their worst setbacks, find their voices and build businesses with their stories.

Tiffany gives us some nuggets of wisdom around what she calls the To-Don’t List, and helps us manage our never-ending list of to-do’s by exploring three simple but powerful questions/suggestions we all need to consider:

1. What can you delegate?

Who’s in your SQUAD? Who do you spend the most time with? Did you know that whoever they are, they impact your life in a major way? About 95% of your ability to fail or succeed is impacted by your friends and family, to be exact.

In honor of it being National Best Friend’s day today, June 8th, I’m doing another check-in, but this time it’s for those in your circle of influence. After I realized that I needed to do some pruning in my circle, I knew I needed to share this with the world, because IT’S. NOT. EASY. And it takes an unwavering commitment to becoming who you know you want and need to become. Check out this weeks episode as I tell you:

Why your circle of influence is so important

• They have the biggest impact on our behavior

4 Types of Sister-Friends You Need

• Prayer Warrior

How to Find your SQUAD

• Look outside the box (not just with friends and fam)
