Why Black Women Are Leaving Corporate (The Unfiltered Truth) | Day 33 ft. Aziza RansomeHave you ever felt like you had to fracture your personality just to survive a 9-to-5?On Day 33, I’m joined by the incredible Aziza Ransome (host of Psychology of the Heart) for a deep dive into why so many Black women are choosing to leave corporate spaces behind. We’re talking about the "Corporate Mask," the exhaustion of code-switching, and the moment we realized that our professional "success" was actually costing us our peace.This isn't just a conversation about quitting jobs; it’s about reclaiming your authenticity. Aziza and I share our personal journeys of moving from "Hustle to Harmony" and why the most powerful pivot you can make is the one that leads you back to yourself.In this episode, we discuss:- The "Fractured Self": Why we feel the need to hide our true personalities at work.- Overcoming the fear of being "Too Much" or "Not Enough."- Why "Pivots don't have to be loud to be powerful."- How to navigate the guilt of leaving a "good" career to find a great life.Ready to drop the mask?If this conversation resonates, you are exactly who I built the Pause Shift Pivot Container for. We start on March 7th. Let’s stop performing and start building your crown on a solid foundation of truth.✨ Join the March 7th Container: https://itskenishab.com/psp-containerConnect with Aziza:Podcast: Psychology of the Heart https://podcast.psychologyoftheheart.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/psychologyoftheheart#Day33 #CorporateExit #BlackWomenLead #Authenticity #PsychologyOfTheHeart #CareerPivot #PauseShiftPivot #BurnoutRecovery #GlowForward

Ready to stop people pleasing? Book a 1-1 Intuitive Glow Session👉🏽 https://www.itskenishab.com/coaching/At some point, self-love stops being about bubble baths and starts looking like disappointing people. In this episode, Kenisha B is joined by Antonique of the Redefining Wellness podcast to discuss the "Strong Friend" complex, the Eldest Daughter pipeline, and what happens when your identity is built on being liked.We’re diving deep into:- The cost of being the "reliable one" and the "glue" of every circle.- Why self-love requires being so honest with yourself that you’re willing to disappoint others before you abandon yourself.- The identity crisis that happens when you stop seeking approval.- Learning to be the "villain" in someone else’s story to save your own life.If you’ve ever felt exhausted from carrying the weight of emotionally unavailable people, this episode is your permission slip to lay that title down.If this episode resonated with you, I want you to ask yourself the question we discussed: Who are you when no one needs you?

We explore what it looks like to question religion without losing belief, to move from inherited faith to intentional spirituality, and to navigate belief changes without shame or fear.Brooklyn shares her personal journey of pausing, reflecting, and pivoting her faith. From redefining success through God’s perspective to understanding the difference between joy, happiness, and peace, this conversation is for anyone who feels like something has shifted spiritually but doesn’t quite have the language for it yet.If you’ve ever wondered:• Why religion stopped working for you• What to do when your beliefs start to change• How to practice faith without pressure or performance• Whether questioning your faith means you’re doing something wrongThis episode is for you.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE• How to recognize when a faith pivot is happening• The difference between religion, spirituality, and conditioning• Why belief changes don’t mean belief loss• How to redefine peace during spiritual transitions• Practical reflection prompts for navigating faith shifts🎧 Listen in, reflect honestly, and remember: faith can evolve without falling apart.Follow Brooklyn on Instagram: @unapologetic_certifiedWork with Kenisha or go deeper:🌿 Glow Sessions (1:1 Coaching) For clarity, perspective shifts, and intentional next steps 👉🏽 https://www.itskenishab.com/coaching/🌍 Glow Forward Retreat (Thailand | July 2026) A soulful retreat for those ready to unmask, align, and move forward with clarity 👉🏽 https://www.itskenishab.com/glowforward/🎧 Listen to the Podcast on All PlatformsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/211TWZu...

When faith feels quiet, it’s easy to think something is wrong.But sometimes, silence isn’t abandonment — it’s direction.In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m talking about faith pivots...those seasons where you still believe, but the way you’ve been believing no longer fits. It happens to the best of us!This conversation is for the person who knows something needs to change, but feels frozen. The person who prays for clarity while avoiding movement. The person stuck between trusting God and trusting themselves.I share what a faith pivot actually looks like, the subtle signs you might be in one, and how to move forward without waiting for certainty.I also take you back to 2015, when I moved from Los Angeles to Atlanta with $500, two suitcases, and a lot of faith. Life didn’t magically get better when I arrived. In fact, it got quieter, harder, and more unclear. But staying in motion changed everything. Ten years later, that decision reshaped my entire life in ways I couldn’t have imagined at the time.This episode is especially for anyone experiencing pivot paralysis — when fear, faith, and uncertainty collide, and doing nothing feels safer than doing something new.Inside this conversation, we explore:→ How to tell when you’re being called to pivot in your faith→ Why waiting for clarity can actually keep you stuck→ The difference between fear and discernment→ How to move forward when you don’t feel ready→ What faith looks like when the map is missing💬 Episode Reflection Question:Where are you waiting for certainty when movement might be the assignment?If this episode resonates, take a moment to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who might be navigating a quiet but meaningful shift of their own.✨ Ready to go deeper?🌿 Glow Sessions (1:1 Coaching) For clarity, perspective shifts, and intentional next steps 👉🏽 https://www.itskenishab.com/coaching/🌍 Glow Forward Retreat: A Luminary Experience (Thailand, 2026) A soulful retreat for those ready to unmask, align, and move forward with clarity 👉🏽 https://www.itskenishab.com/glowforward/🎧 Listen to the Podcast on All PlatformsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/211TWZu...

What No One Tells You About Moving From Working In Your Business ft. Elisha Monique

In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m joined by Elisha Monique, who shares her journey from spending 25 years working in her business to building a life that allows her to work on it. We don’t rush to lessons or formulas. Instead, we talk through her past, her lived experience, and the mindset shift that opened the door to expansion, freedom, and sustainability.

This conversation is for anyone who:

✨ Has a one-track view of business

✨ Is great at what they do, but feels capped

✨ Doesn’t see themselves as “a business person”

✨ Is tired of hustling without seeing real growth

✨ Knows there’s more possible but can’t name what yet

We explore how systems, strategy, and intentional structure can support your skills instead of replacing them. Whether you’re in beauty, education, wellness, creative work, or any service-based industry, this episode invites you to zoom out and see your work through a bigger lens.

You don’t have to start over.

You don’t have to abandon your craft.

You just might need to expand how you define business, success, and your own capabilities.

Loneliness didn’t show up as a choice for me.

It showed up after heartbreak, grief, and loss...after a breakup and the death of my dog—when life got quiet all at once.

In this episode of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m sharing how I pivoted out of loneliness and learned to embrace solitude without romanticizing it. This conversation is about grief, healing, identity shifts, and what happens when you stop running from being alone long enough to actually meet yourself.

This isn’t about “loving being alone.” (Truth: I still don't like it! 😂)

It’s about learning how to feel safe, grounded, and whole in your own company—and how that season can quietly prepare you for everything next.

Inside this conversation, we explore:

→ Why loneliness can feel like failure

→ The difference between loneliness and solitude

→ What grief and loss reveal when the noise disappears

→ How to stop filling space and start building safety within

→ What sitting with yourself can unlock—confidence, clarity, and community

→ How solitude can prepare you for partnership, purpose, and expansion

If you’re in a season where you feel alone, unseen, or like life left you behind—this episode is for you.

You’re not behind.

You’re not broken.

You’re becoming.

Loneliness isn’t the end. Sometimes, it’s the beginning!

💬 Reflection Question:

If you stopped trying to fill the space, what might you hear (and learn)?
