Transform your life today with my Self-Discovery Pivot. https://pages.thechiquitamack.com/selfdiscoverypivot/ 


In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Dr. Leeja Carter, CEO and founder of the Coalition for Food and Health Equity, as she shares her powerful journey of rediscovery. After 15 years as a professor, she decided to seek spaces where she is truly valued, a testament to the courage it takes to choose oneself.


Together, we dive into navigating fears, overcoming feeling stuck, and embracing joy and peace. Dr. Carter also walks us through the power of strategic planning, visualization, and her four steps to smart planning. We also explore how black women show up for each other and the strength in being caretakers.


When you feel like turning back, take a deep breath, pull yourself up, and remember—this journey is yours. Embrace your gift fully and step into your power.
