The Blackgirli Journal

This week on The Black Girli Journal, I’m talking about something many of us experience but rarely admit: feeling behind.

After missing my Sunday Journal and finding myself playing catch-up, I started thinking about the pressure we put on ourselves to always be on schedule, always be productive, and always have it all figured out. The truth is, life doesn’t always move according to our plans.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing reflections on entrepreneurship, motherhood, creativity, and what it means to keep showing up even when things aren’t perfect. From growing up in Harlem to working in fashion around the world and navigating this current season of reinvention, I’m learning that consistency isn’t about perfection—it’s about returning.

If you’ve been feeling behind on your goals, questioning your progress, or wondering if you’re doing enough, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

• Why feeling behind doesn’t mean you’re failing
• The difference between consistency and perfection
• Building a business while living a real life
• Navigating your second wind with grace
• How to finish the year strong without burning out

The Black Girli Journal is where Harlem storytelling meets high-fashion energy for women navigating life’s pivots in fashion, beauty, motherhood, creativity, and the courage it takes to begin again.

Some conversations feel less like interviews and more like sitting down with someone who has been part of your journey for years.

In this episode of The Black Girly Journal, I sit down with my Sister Friend and beauty industry powerhouse, Rochelle Hunter Mosley. For more than 20 years, our paths have been connected through the salon, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and the many seasons of life.

Together, we reflect on building a career with longevity, finding your second wind after achieving your goals, navigating life’s transitions, and continuing to evolve as a woman, entrepreneur, and creative. Rochelle shares wisdom from her experiences as a salon owner, trichologist, speaker, product creator, podcaster, and educator, offering insights that will inspire anyone who is building something meaningful.

We also share a few laughs, including the story of how we both ended up being called “Shelli” and why Rochelle eventually reclaimed her original name.

If you’re in a season of reinvention, growth, or rediscovery, this conversation is for you.

   In this episode:

• Building a career that lasts

• Life after reaching your biggest goals

• Reinvention and finding your next chapter

• Entrepreneurship and leadership
