Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how being historically excluded can give some gems, that whisper into your soul, to inspire your superpowers!

They’re used to looking outside themselves to know what’s right for them, and take in the values or opinions of others, or can lose a part of themselves as we level up.

Little do they know, with a bit more self-awareness, they could uncover what they truly, deeply want for their lives and start creating that- while including their voice in places that were historically not.

There are four questions that can help you reveal what you truly want from life, and once you take the time to answer them thoughtfully, you’ll have so much more direction.

You can have the exact life you want, but you have to know what that life is first.

In this episode, discover five questions to ask yourself to unveil your truest desires for your life, when making smart moves as a black entrepreneur or a historically excluded executive (woman of color, LGBTQIA, etc). I share my answers to these questions to inspire you to dive deep and build the self-awareness you need to know what you want and then go after it.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER
  • How code-switching has taught you to spot blocks to your leveling up, and how to navigate passed those blocks!
  • How to grow your self-awareness.
  • The four intuitive questions that can pull you from survival mode to success, when you go after what you want- despite being historically excluded.
