What is rest?

Rest can be hard to come by when it comes to a busy schedule or a high achiever who is constantly striving for productivity.

How do you create the margin to allow you to fuel your body and show up better? This is what Jenny is talking about in this episode with some practical steps on how to easily stay consistent in your rest time.

Skyler Womack is passionate about people, which is why he loves telling their stories! His previous experience comes from being the digital pastor for a megachurch. He helped create a digital footprint for this church during the COVID-19 pandemic, which inspired him to help other social impact organizations build their digital presence. He recently started a small (social impact supporting) business called Confidant Co. that specializes in affordable yet quality non-profit fundraising & marketing. This drives the global partnership and organizations he works to see maximum impact through meaningful relationships.

What is faith? Is it black and white? If it was stripped away from you, would you still have an identity?

In today's episode, Jenny and Skyler are picking apart their faith journey, the transitional seasons they have been in, and how that has allowed them to live an authentic life of faith even in the midst of being misunderstood.

As social entrepreneurs or leaders in any venture, we wear the pressure of numbers and productivity, and so often than not, our to-do list is chronically long. That alone is exhausting. Adding on other hats like parenting, teaching and running multiple businesses can be overwhelming and lead to burnout that then activates demotivation.

In today's episode I will be giving some tips on how to identify these demotivation triggers and some practical ways to combat them.

As you work through these kinds of days, know that you are a work in progress and give yourself grace.

How much of the ego in your identity is founded in what you do? If that was stripped away, would you still be comfortable and confident in who you are?

These are some hard questions Taylor and I are sparking in this week's episode as we talk about releasing expectations of ourselves and deconstructing the idea of success as the measure of our true selves.

'Let it be wild' is more than just a tote bag we sell at Imani Collective or a written recollection of my journey to where I am today. It is figuring out your values, standing by them, and having fun while in that growth.
