The Dark Feminine: a podcast for womxn entrepreneurs

Do you ever conflate your professional and personal identity? Derive too much (or all) your value and worth from your job? Then this podcast episode is for you, because I do too. I explore why I have done that, where that experience brought me and the lessons I've learned in the wake of extreme burnout that has forced me to take a step back from all my professional engagements.

In 2021, I took a long pause from the podcast - I'm sharing why, what I've been up to and where I'm going in this short 20-minute update episode.

Women entrepreneurs and business owners are flocking to digital channels- social media, video, podcasts, blogging, press- to share their stories and services. But many say they’re nervous or wary of putting themselves forward. How can we gain confidence in our message and share our narratives with others in the most effective way?

How can we as entrepreneurs use our businesses to bring positive change to our companies, those our companies serve and our corner of the world (and beyond)? Listen to the podcast for my ideas!

I speak with my father, David Jones, about his experiences as a Black man growing up, going to school and working in corporate America in the late 20th century- not only interesting in and of itself, but so much of what he discusses centers around mindset and mental health which all minorities may be able to recognize and learn from. We end talking about how these experiences led to a dramatic career change in his early 50s, relatively late in his career.

Guest Karolina Belwal, founder of AfterThird, talks to Khaleelah Jones about corporate feminism, the importance of value-driven company culture (regardless of your size) and channeling your maternal energy into creating a company culture that works for you and your business.

How can the Dark Feminine as a concept help us as womxn become more effective entrepreneurs? And why do I feel so called upon (and qualified) to share this with you? It's all in this 20-minute episode of the Dark Feminine.
