Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey, and welcome to Allison's Corner. This is my little
corner of the Internet where we dive into wellness, personal growth, relationships,
and just other topics best suited for you. I'm your host, Alison,
bringing you fresh perspectives, inspiring conversations, and a little something.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
To spark your day.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Be sure to follow along with Alison's Corner on Instagram,
subscribe to our newsletter, and watch us on YouTube at
Allison's Corner Pod. Here you'll find more insights in community
updates of what we have going on on Allison's Corner. Now,
without further ado, here is today's episode. Hello everyone, and
(00:58):
welcome or welcome back to another episode of Alison's Corner
with me. I have a very special guest. Guest, please
go ahead and introduce yourself to the people.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Please, Hello everyone. My name is Brittany Branch and I
am the founder and CEO of The Boss of Agency
as well as a content creator.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Awesome, thank you for joining us, Brittany. I've been following
you for a minute now on social media. I love
your content that you put out, especially about entrepreneurship, mental health,
all of those things. And one thing that I really
love about your content is pretty much having the tenacity
to just go after what it is that you want
(01:41):
without listening to the voices surrounding you. So for Brittany
as well as for everyone else's episode is really about
stepping into your own creating your own life path and
the journey that you want for yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So, Brittany, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I am, and I just want to say thank you
so much for having me and sharing the space with me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No problem, thank you. All Right, we're gonna go into
question number one. So our first question is what does
creating life on your own terms mean to you?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
With creating life on your own terms, I think that
this could look different depending on whatever season that you're in,
But for my current season, I feel like creating life
on my own terms looks like having the autonomy to
dive into the different things that really bring me joy
and that I really want to push forward into my life.
(02:38):
For me, this meant leaving corporate life once again and
making sure that I step out on faith and creating
a life that I will be happy to pass on,
whether it be to my kids or just like leave
as a legacy. And so just making sure that I'm
creating spaces for things that I'm going to be proud of,
(02:58):
and making sure that I'm fueling my myself with projects
that I know it will be impactful not only to
myself but to my community. And so when I'm thinking
about how my life is shaping out, I'm really thinking
about all of those things and making sure that what
I'm building is a legacy that I will be proud of.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I love that, especially you being really emphasizing that you
want to create a legacy that is important to you,
you know, and to no one else.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Can you share a defining moment when you realized you
wanted to take control of your own path in some way?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I definitely feel like I've had several defining moments that
have led or several moments that have led to the
defining moment. But I think the most powerful one that
I've had had to be in twenty twenty. I think,
like so many others who were, I was just kind
of rethinking life, career, what is it that I really
(04:01):
want it for myself during that time, And during that time,
I was working full time and beauty, so I was
working full time in social media, influencer marketing, living in
New Jersey, working in New York, and then the pandemic hit.
Earlier that year, I was I did kickstart my agency,
The Boss Up, but it started off as me coaching
(04:22):
entrepreneurs and influencers on how to brand themselves on social media.
But by the time the pandemic hit, and then during
the summer, right before my twenty seventh birthday or my
twenty eighth birthday, I really thought to myself, Okay, you
told yourself that you were going to take the leap
(04:43):
of faith and become a full time entrepreneur. You keep
waiting for the right time. The time is now. There's
never ever going to be a right time. There's never
ever going to be a moment where you're just going
to feel one hundred percent sure. And in listening to
I Think a podcasts episode, Stephen Barlette's talked about how
(05:06):
you just have to be fifty one percent sure to
take the leap, and so I was like, you know what, like,
let me fulfill this promise to myself and let me
just step out on faith to take the leap. And
that was the one of the defining moments that I
had where I stepped out on faith. I stepped right
into entrepreneurship, I started taking on more clients, and during
(05:27):
that time, so many other things started to take place
and challenged me for the better. And I think that
without that moment, I would not be here, I will
not be where I am today. So I'm just very
thankful for those moments.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty was definitely a year for all
of us. I can also relate to that with my
own journey in getting into what it is that I wanted,
So I definitely.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Feel you on that level.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What were some of your biggest challenges that you faced
when you were starting out doing that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Absolutely so one of my biggest challenges was mental health.
I think that being in a space. So just to
paint the scene a little bit, when I stepped out
into my entrepreneurship journey, I was moving into my first
solo studio apartment for the first time, and I'm kind
of like getting chills just like thinking about that space
(06:24):
because I was so excited to decorate it. But also
I felt so isolated in my journey because I wasn't
able to go home and visit and travel in the
ways that I usually would, and so I felt very
isolated in my journey. It was me and my four
hundred square foot studio apartment working day in and day
out to build my agency, and I really was faced
(06:47):
with a lot of hard questions and a lot of
things dealing with mental health. And so during that first
official year of entrepreneurship, my grandmother passed away, my grandfather
passed away, and my great grandmother passed away, and so
I had three deaths in the family that I spended
maybe three or four months to each other. And what
(07:09):
that being said, it was me also managing a team
of six during that time. And so in a corporate role,
you're able to take time off, you're able to schedule
your PTO time, You're able to kind of take some
time to grieve. As an entrepreneur, I didn't really feel
like I had that outlet to grieve because my back
(07:32):
was against the wall, like the health of the company
fully dependent on me. With that, I was really challenged
of thinking, Okay, how am I going to take time
to myself important to myself in the ways that I
need to in order to be healthy not only physically
and mentally, but then also have that health physical and
(07:55):
mental health translate over into my business health. And so
I really think about different practices that I can implement
into my daily life. That meant journaling. I think during
that time I foted up maybe six to eight journals,
just like keeping that as a practice every day, regular movement, meditation.
(08:15):
I was really really focused on visualization, meditations and just
making sure that I stayed in alignment with my higher
self and where I knew that I wanted to go prayer,
just increasing my faith during that time, and so many
practices led me out of such a dark space that
I felt myself going into, and I think that without
(08:36):
those practices, I would not have shifted my mission to
the boss up to where it is now, which is
making sure that we are helping entrepreneurs prioritize or mental
health and well being no matter what stage of the
journey that they're in, because I found that when an
entrepreneur feels their well being taken care of mentally, physical, spiritually, emotionally,
(09:01):
then they're also able to reap those benefits into their
business health as well and have longevity there. And so
the focus has really shifted there because of my own
personal experiences.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, and my condolences on the loss of your
loved ones. Yeah, I understand that was definitely a hard time.
When we talk more about your personal journey, how has
your definition of success evolved throughout your process?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, I think success has changed for me in so
many ways, and I think that it is changing for
me even more as I've stepped into different roles being
a wife one day, being a mother, and just thinking
about how much I value time now, and not only time,
but flexibility. I think that early on in my career
(09:54):
I really thought about the vanity metrics. Right, So, I
want to have x amount of followers, I want to
have this much engagement, I want to have this much money.
And as I'm kind of researching and continuously teaching myself
(10:15):
different things that are needed to live a happy and
healthy life mentally and physically, I'm learning that the more
money you make doesn't necessarily equate to more happiness, right,
And I think that what we're really yearning for is time.
With that time, the ability to create experiences with those
(10:36):
people that we love, or creating new experiences for ourselves,
right excuse me. And so as I'm thinking about that,
success for me just means having the space and grace
to be flexible with my time. And to use it
in a way that will bring me joy in the
(10:57):
long run. I do have goals of doing other things,
so launching my productivity products for entrepreneurs, which I will
be doing in a few weeks, in a book which
I will be launching in a few months, but having
some of those goals in mind, I think not just
(11:22):
for the banning metrics or the amount of revenue that
it will bring, but more so making sure that I
am allowing myself to use my gifts and what God
has intended me to do to serve in ways that
feel in alignment with me, and so just making sure
that I'm doing those things and making sure that they're
fulfilling me and they're not just something that I feel
(11:44):
like I have to do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, I've noticed also now being in my thirties, if
I do something that is passion driven, I reap the
benefits so much more than if I pursue something that
is profit driven, like how I was in my twenties.
The difference is crazy, and I realized the motivation and
love that I have for it surpasses anything else that
(12:08):
I still am able to get. The materialistic things such
as the money and all of that, but because I
have a passion that I love what I do, it
makes it so much easier in the long run for me.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I wanted to shift a little bit away from your
personal journey but really focus on your mindset, which you
were speaking about earlier. So what mindset shifts were necessary
for you to step away from societal expectations or even
traditional paths that we see every day.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I think with the mindset shifts, it is it really
is a daily choice, right, and so it's not something
that you're able to completely step away from. It's like
something that you consciously have to make a decision about
each day, like I will not allow myself to go
down that rabbit hole that I feel myself going down.
But I think one of the biggest mindsetships and as
(13:02):
I've coached entrepreneurs, I felt them struggling with the same thing.
It's the limiting beliefs. It is the stories that we
tell ourselves. It is the negative self talk that we
tell ourselves, maybe even subconsciously on a daily basis. And
(13:22):
so I felt like, for me, when you get caught
up in all of these algorithms on Instagram, on TikTok,
all of the vanity metrics, and maybe someone isn't engaging
with your content the way they're engaging with another creators
or another entrepreneurs, and now you're feeling like, Okay, I
feel like my content isn't good enough. I feel like
I'm not good enough. I feel like no one likes me.
(13:45):
I feel like how like you just have all of
these spiraling thoughts, right, And it really is the limiting
beliefs that you are placing on yourselves. And I found
that in those limiting beliefs, I was actually, in a
way self sabotaging myself because I would have these spiraling,
limiting beliefs. I would create these narratives in these stories
(14:09):
that I was not good enough or I was not
capable to be at the level that some of these
other entrepreneurs our creators were at, and then that would
lead me into a crippling anxiety that would not allow
me to execute in the ways that I needed to right.
And I think that in continuing my research and learning
(14:31):
like how can I come bat this? I read in
a book called The Big Leap that oftentimes when we're
really going after something, we end up hitting this upper
limit right, and this upper limit could be where we're
self sabotaging ourselves to the point where you know, we're
(14:52):
not able to reach the level of success that we
really want to reach. And I think that through those
limiting beliefs, that is what really like, I needed to
break through that, and I felt that so many entrepreneurs
struggle with the same thing. It's the stories we tell
ourselves and it's learning how can we quiet the mind
so that we can really really get after what it
(15:14):
is that we want and that I did create a
productivity planner, and it's different from other planners because the
first few pages our works are kind of like worksheets
in a way, where we're working through exercises on addressing
what limiting beliefs you have and then affirming greatness into
(15:36):
yourself before you even start the planning process, before you
even start talking about your goals, because you have to
diminish the negative self talk first. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
On your journey or with your mindset so far, who
or what inspires you to just keep pushing forward.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
My inspiration comes from a lot of places, but I
think mostly it comes from my family and from my
husband I think it's so important to have people in
your life to keep you grounded and people who can
remind you of who you are and what you stand for.
And so when I'm feeling that way and I'm talking
(16:17):
about it with either my husband or my parents, or
my brothers or my friends, they are quick to remind
me who I am, and they are quick to help
me to diminish any negative self talk that I have
about myself. Also, my therapist too, she is cool to say, girl, like,
(16:38):
you know that is not like here are some tips
that you need or here, here are some exercises that
you need to do to get yourself out of that
mindset because you're telling yourself the wrong stories, right. And
so I think having a community to really keep me
grounded and just really is really helpful. Because you get
on social media and it's so loud, yeah, and sometimes
(17:01):
you get caught up in all the trends because you're
trying to do what you feel like is working best
for other people. But when you sit back and talk
to talk to the people who know you best and
then also have conversations with yourself, right, because ultimately you
know yourself better than everyone else, and really just get
down to the root of like who am I like,
what do I want? And what do I want to
(17:23):
present to the world. I think that's when you can
come back to center. Yeah yeah, I completely agree. My
therapist he keeps me in seck.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh yeah, he clocks me every single time, and I'm like,
thank you so much, but that was me.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's but we need it. We need a kick in
the butt sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So how do you prioritize your goals and make decisions
that align with your vision?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That's such a great question. When it comes to my goals,
I've really I've really just thought about them as commitment
to myself. So if I'm going to be committed to
be disciplined, what does that look like. I'm committed to
being consistent, what does that look like? So I start
there first, and then in our planner we have where
(18:14):
you can write out your goals. So we haven't listed
out by your macro and your micro goals, and so
for the month, maybe what are the three big goals
that you have on your plate versus what are three
micro goals that can possibly help fuel the macro goals?
And so as you list out your goal, you're also
listing out the why and the how right, because I
(18:38):
think that sometimes we lose the purpose of what we're
striving for. And so when I'm answering those questions like
why is this a goal? Why is it important? And
how am I going to achieve it? Then I'm able
to think more strategically about it and build systems that
can bring it into fruition. And so I think when
you're mapping out your goals, ask yourself why and how
(19:02):
and when right? Make it timely? So thinking about it
as like a smart goal in a way, But when
do you want to achieve it by? Because sometimes we
make goals and then we make it too loose, and
then we look up and we're like, wait, I still
haven't I still haven't achieved that goal. Right, When you
have purpose behind it, when you have strategy behind it,
(19:24):
and when you have time, you know, make it time bound,
then you're able to actually see that goal through. And
I think, for me, as being a creative Gemini who
just has so many ideas, I get bored so easily.
I need to see it written out in that way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Are you a mad Gemini or a June Gemini.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'm a June Gemini.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh my gosh, I'm in Aries, and I always say
either I would May Geminis, I get along with no problem,
June Geminis.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's either I do or I don't. So I get
a girl.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yes, remember are you March Yes, March Aries and that's
my bff.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
So okay, Well maybe maybe that's why you know how
to interact. But yeah, but then my moon is in Gemini,
So okay, the whole thing, I don't know anywha. What
role does resilience play in creating a life that feels
authentic to you?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
M I think that it plays a huge role because
there are so many things that might come up that's
not in alignment with how you thought it would be,
and you have to be resilient to push through it,
and you have to to just kind of like chuck
it off as being like a part of the journey, right,
(20:47):
So there are definitely a lot of roadblocks that might
come up where I'm like, okay, like I was not
expecting that to happen. Like say, for instance, when I
first when on my entrepreneurship Orny, and I was not
expecting to, you know, maybe go through a breakup and
have to move into this square foot apartment, and you know,
(21:09):
most of the money that I saved went towards my
rent right, And so that was a point where I
needed to be resilient and really push through that and
really just kind of focused on what the end goal
is that I was trying to achieve. But I think resilience,
If you can be resilient through your journey, then I
think that you can show yourself that you are strong
(21:32):
enough and you are capable to push through it.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, and how do you navigate those external pressures, you know,
whether it be family or friends having certain expectations of you,
or even just like what we were talking about earlier,
with those societal norms that we always hear so much about.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Mm hmm. I think I just work on quieting the noise.
And so if I feel myself maybe getting sucked into
what society is doing, or maybe like what my peers
are doing in the industry, I just take a break,
Like I really just disconnect from social media. I set
(22:18):
some digital boundaries, not only with social media but also
with family and friends, and so if I'm feeling like
I'm at capacity or I'm not able to talk or
I'm not able to be there in the ways that
you need me to be there. Then I just make
sure that I set those digital boundaries early on, so
you know where I'm at and I will meet you
(22:39):
where you're at when I'm able to. And I think
that early on in my entrepreneurship journey, I saw the
importance of setting those digital boundaries, and so one practice
that I started to do because I felt like before
nine am or early in the morning, it was just
feeling real hectic. It was just like people are calling me,
(23:02):
people are texting, clients are slacking me. I just I
just I can't write. And so I just had a
digital boundary, like before nine am, y'all not hearing from me,
I'm sorry, Like, I am going to use this time
to ease into my morning, to take care of myself,
(23:23):
to pull from my buckets of joy, whether that be journaling,
reading my book, or whatever it is. Before nine am,
that's my time. Yeah, So everything else is going to
be on do not disturb, so that I can focus
on pouring into myself. And I think that that really
helped me get into a good headspace as well.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I love that easing into the morning instead of
running through it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, I love that I need.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
To set that for myself as well.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The days of chaos. Okay, I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's like I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's like I'm trying to catch up as soon as
I wake up, and it's crazy. I'm like, no, we
kind of need to dial it back. I need to
have time to just ease into the morning, like you said, like,
just yeah, it's got a rush. So I need to
try that for myself. That's going to be a good tip.
So like, what advice would you give to someone who
(24:19):
kind of feels stuck in life because where they're at
doesn't feel authentic to them.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
M you are hidden with a good question. So I
actually am working on a work book that is for
this specific thing. It's called the Unstuck work Book, right
because I've been there and I really felt like in
(24:50):
the beginning, specifically talking about my journey as a content creator,
I started off in fashion and beauty like so many others,
and as I reached the pandemic and I was asking
myself those reflective questions, I was just like, I don't
feel in alignment with this. I don't wear makeup every day.
(25:13):
I'm like kind of basic on the outfits I'm not
trying to grow my brand as being this beauty or
fashion guru. I really want to get down to the
nitty gritty and I want to have conversations. I want
to talk about mental health, I want to talk about
well being. I want to talk about these things. And
(25:36):
I think that for so long I was in my
head about like how do I pivot, how do I
switch up without shocking my audience, or the nervousness behind
losing people. And I think that naturally, when you make
any shift, or when you decide to speak out on
some of your beliefs, like mine being my faith, right,
(25:58):
you're naturally going to lose people. But I think that
you can't be tied so that you have to detach
from that because you're going to gain so many people
that are going to be happy to be a part
of your community. Right. And So if you're feeling stuck
and like you don't know where to go, I would
say ask yourself some reflective questions. Maybe one of those
(26:19):
questions could be, when you sit down and do a
visualization meditation, what are the glimpses of your life that
you see? Right. One of the questions that I asked
on My retreat that I had back in October was
think back to a time where you felt the most
joy and what were you doing during that time. One
(26:41):
of my friends she thought back to that time and
she was like, you know, when I felt the most joy,
it was when I was baking, when I was cooking,
when I was kind of using my hands and being
creative in that way. And so she's gotten back into
that hobby and she's, you know, felt more joy and
fulfillment in doing that because she's doing this thing for herself, right.
(27:02):
And I think that when you kind of sit with
yourself and ask yourself those reflective questions, you get deeper,
you get closer to what it is that you actually
want to do and who you actually want to be,
because I think that so much of the time, we're
allowing social media to kind of define who we are,
when really it might not even be what we want
(27:23):
to do. So you have to really sit with yourself
and ask yourself some deep questions because social media would
be quick to tell you who you should be, Yeah,
but it's for you to define who you want to be.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah. Yeah. How can listeners how can they start small
when working towards living on their own terms.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Do you have any advice for that?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I think that when it comes to living on your
own terms, I think just do a mind map. And
so I kind of just love to do this mind
mapping exercise maybe like once a quarter or I'm kind
of redefining, Okay, who am I? What are the branches
that stem off of me? What is it that I
(28:10):
want to do? What do I want to create? And
I'm going based off of that, And so I would
definitely say sit with yourself, do a mind mapping exercise
to understand where is it you're trying to go, and
just allow yourself to tackle that piece by piece, like
you don't have to tackle it all at once, but
just allow yourself to tackle it piece by piece and
(28:32):
just see what it is that how you're being led
in that way. I think when we try to tackle
things in a bigger way, it feels overwhelming and then
we feel stuck again, right, because this is so daunting.
But I think if you can take it piece by piece,
then you can really feel like you're making bigger steps
(28:54):
towards where you want to be.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Oh, I love that, And just some reflective questions looking back,
What is something that you would tell your younger self
when you first started this journey.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I would definitely tell myself to take my time. I
think that sometimes you start something and you want to
hurry up and see like the results, and you want
to hurry up and you know, get everything together, do
all the fun stuff, do all the branding, all of
those things, and you kind of want to rush through
the process. But I think there's so much power in
(29:35):
taking your time, because when you rush through something, you're
more likely to feel the burnout, the stress, and the
overwhelm of it all. And I found that when I
take my time, even if it's taking me a little
bit longer to get there, I think that I feel
so much fulfillment. Yeah. Also it aids to my overarching goal,
(29:59):
which is longevity. Right, Like, I don't want to be
burnt out while building something. I want to be at
ease while I'm building it and feel excited and happy
about it and be able to feel all the feelings
in that process. And I want to make sure that
I'm building something that's going to last. And so just
(30:21):
take your time, like there's no rush. Don't let anyone
pressure you into feeling like you have to have it
all figured out and this time, like, go with what
you have and just let that be it for now.
You can always evolve or reinvent things, rebrand things as
you go, but just take your time and be intentional
(30:43):
and mindful in that.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And my very last question, how has living life on
your own terms changed you as a person?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Oh? It has been such a confidence boost in so
many ways. I think that living life on my own
terms has allowed me to build my confidence and know
that I am capable of reaching my goals and dreams
(31:14):
without having someone tell me what my cap is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
And I think in corporate I really struggled with, you know,
someone telling me, oh like, yeah, you're not ready to
get a promotion right now, or actually you can't take
that pto, or you know, just trying to put a
ceiling on top of me. And some of those ceilings
(31:40):
come from, you know, corporate policies, but some of it
I actually found comes from their own personal beliefs and
experiences that they're trying to pass on to you. Right.
And I think that allowing myself to live on my
own terms has allowed me to move that ceiling out
the way and to just reach for the stars and
(32:01):
not allow anyone to cap me and definitely being conscious
of not capping myself in any way like the self sabotage, right,
So that has been such a big learning for me.

(00:58):
welcome or welcome back to another episode of Alison's Corner
with me. I have a very special guest. Guest, please
go ahead and introduce yourself to the people.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Please, Hello everyone. My name is Brittany Branch and I
am the founder and CEO of The Boss of Agency
as well as a content creator.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Awesome, thank you for joining us, Brittany. I've been following
you for a minute now on social media. I love
your content that you put out, especially about entrepreneurship, mental health,
all of those things. And one thing that I really
love about your content is pretty much having the tenacity
to just go after what it is that you want
(01:41):
without listening to the voices surrounding you. So for Brittany
as well as for everyone else's episode is really about
stepping into your own creating your own life path and
the journey that you want for yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So, Brittany, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I am, and I just want to say thank you
so much for having me and sharing the space with me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
No problem, thank you. All Right, we're gonna go into
question number one. So our first question is what does
creating life on your own terms mean to you?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
With creating life on your own terms, I think that
this could look different depending on whatever season that you're in,
But for my current season, I feel like creating life
on my own terms looks like having the autonomy to
dive into the different things that really bring me joy
and that I really want to push forward into my life.
(02:38):
For me, this meant leaving corporate life once again and
making sure that I step out on faith and creating
a life that I will be happy to pass on,
whether it be to my kids or just like leave
as a legacy. And so just making sure that I'm
creating spaces for things that I'm going to be proud of,
(02:58):
and making sure that I'm fueling my myself with projects
that I know it will be impactful not only to
myself but to my community. And so when I'm thinking
about how my life is shaping out, I'm really thinking
about all of those things and making sure that what
I'm building is a legacy that I will be proud of.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I love that, especially you being really emphasizing that you
want to create a legacy that is important to you,
you know, and to no one else.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I really like that.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Can you share a defining moment when you realized you
wanted to take control of your own path in some way?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I definitely feel like I've had several defining moments that
have led or several moments that have led to the
defining moment. But I think the most powerful one that
I've had had to be in twenty twenty. I think,
like so many others who were, I was just kind
of rethinking life, career, what is it that I really
(04:01):
want it for myself during that time, And during that time,
I was working full time and beauty, so I was
working full time in social media, influencer marketing, living in
New Jersey, working in New York, and then the pandemic hit.
Earlier that year, I was I did kickstart my agency,
The Boss Up, but it started off as me coaching
(04:22):
entrepreneurs and influencers on how to brand themselves on social media.
But by the time the pandemic hit, and then during
the summer, right before my twenty seventh birthday or my
twenty eighth birthday, I really thought to myself, Okay, you
told yourself that you were going to take the leap
(04:43):
of faith and become a full time entrepreneur. You keep
waiting for the right time. The time is now. There's
never ever going to be a right time. There's never
ever going to be a moment where you're just going
to feel one hundred percent sure. And in listening to
I Think a podcasts episode, Stephen Barlette's talked about how
(05:06):
you just have to be fifty one percent sure to
take the leap, and so I was like, you know what, like,
let me fulfill this promise to myself and let me
just step out on faith to take the leap. And
that was the one of the defining moments that I
had where I stepped out on faith. I stepped right
into entrepreneurship, I started taking on more clients, and during
(05:27):
that time, so many other things started to take place
and challenged me for the better. And I think that
without that moment, I would not be here, I will
not be where I am today. So I'm just very
thankful for those moments.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty was definitely a year for all
of us. I can also relate to that with my
own journey in getting into what it is that I wanted,
So I definitely.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Feel you on that level.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What were some of your biggest challenges that you faced
when you were starting out doing that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Absolutely so one of my biggest challenges was mental health.
I think that being in a space. So just to
paint the scene a little bit, when I stepped out
into my entrepreneurship journey, I was moving into my first
solo studio apartment for the first time, and I'm kind
of like getting chills just like thinking about that space
(06:24):
because I was so excited to decorate it. But also
I felt so isolated in my journey because I wasn't
able to go home and visit and travel in the
ways that I usually would, and so I felt very
isolated in my journey. It was me and my four
hundred square foot studio apartment working day in and day
out to build my agency, and I really was faced
(06:47):
with a lot of hard questions and a lot of
things dealing with mental health. And so during that first
official year of entrepreneurship, my grandmother passed away, my grandfather
passed away, and my great grandmother passed away, and so
I had three deaths in the family that I spended
maybe three or four months to each other. And what
(07:09):
that being said, it was me also managing a team
of six during that time. And so in a corporate role,
you're able to take time off, you're able to schedule
your PTO time, You're able to kind of take some
time to grieve. As an entrepreneur, I didn't really feel
like I had that outlet to grieve because my back
(07:32):
was against the wall, like the health of the company
fully dependent on me. With that, I was really challenged
of thinking, Okay, how am I going to take time
to myself important to myself in the ways that I
need to in order to be healthy not only physically
and mentally, but then also have that health physical and
(07:55):
mental health translate over into my business health. And so
I really think about different practices that I can implement
into my daily life. That meant journaling. I think during
that time I foted up maybe six to eight journals,
just like keeping that as a practice every day, regular movement, meditation.
(08:15):
I was really really focused on visualization, meditations and just
making sure that I stayed in alignment with my higher
self and where I knew that I wanted to go prayer,
just increasing my faith during that time, and so many
practices led me out of such a dark space that
I felt myself going into, and I think that without
(08:36):
those practices, I would not have shifted my mission to
the boss up to where it is now, which is
making sure that we are helping entrepreneurs prioritize or mental
health and well being no matter what stage of the
journey that they're in, because I found that when an
entrepreneur feels their well being taken care of mentally, physical, spiritually, emotionally,
(09:01):
then they're also able to reap those benefits into their
business health as well and have longevity there. And so
the focus has really shifted there because of my own
personal experiences.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, and my condolences on the loss of your
loved ones. Yeah, I understand that was definitely a hard time.
When we talk more about your personal journey, how has
your definition of success evolved throughout your process?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, I think success has changed for me in so
many ways, and I think that it is changing for
me even more as I've stepped into different roles being
a wife one day, being a mother, and just thinking
about how much I value time now, and not only time,
but flexibility. I think that early on in my career
(09:54):
I really thought about the vanity metrics. Right, So, I
want to have x amount of followers, I want to
have this much engagement, I want to have this much money.
And as I'm kind of researching and continuously teaching myself
(10:15):
different things that are needed to live a happy and
healthy life mentally and physically, I'm learning that the more
money you make doesn't necessarily equate to more happiness, right,
And I think that what we're really yearning for is time.
With that time, the ability to create experiences with those
(10:36):
people that we love, or creating new experiences for ourselves,
right excuse me. And so as I'm thinking about that,
success for me just means having the space and grace
to be flexible with my time. And to use it
in a way that will bring me joy in the
(10:57):
long run. I do have goals of doing other things,
so launching my productivity products for entrepreneurs, which I will
be doing in a few weeks, in a book which
I will be launching in a few months, but having
some of those goals in mind, I think not just
(11:22):
for the banning metrics or the amount of revenue that
it will bring, but more so making sure that I
am allowing myself to use my gifts and what God
has intended me to do to serve in ways that
feel in alignment with me, and so just making sure
that I'm doing those things and making sure that they're
fulfilling me and they're not just something that I feel
(11:44):
like I have to do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, I've noticed also now being in my thirties, if
I do something that is passion driven, I reap the
benefits so much more than if I pursue something that
is profit driven, like how I was in my twenties.
The difference is crazy, and I realized the motivation and
love that I have for it surpasses anything else that
(12:08):
I still am able to get. The materialistic things such
as the money and all of that, but because I
have a passion that I love what I do, it
makes it so much easier in the long run for me.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I wanted to shift a little bit away from your
personal journey but really focus on your mindset, which you
were speaking about earlier. So what mindset shifts were necessary
for you to step away from societal expectations or even
traditional paths that we see every day.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I think with the mindset shifts, it is it really
is a daily choice, right, and so it's not something
that you're able to completely step away from. It's like
something that you consciously have to make a decision about
each day, like I will not allow myself to go
down that rabbit hole that I feel myself going down.
But I think one of the biggest mindsetships and as
(13:02):
I've coached entrepreneurs, I felt them struggling with the same thing.
It's the limiting beliefs. It is the stories that we
tell ourselves. It is the negative self talk that we
tell ourselves, maybe even subconsciously on a daily basis. And
(13:22):
so I felt like, for me, when you get caught
up in all of these algorithms on Instagram, on TikTok,
all of the vanity metrics, and maybe someone isn't engaging
with your content the way they're engaging with another creators
or another entrepreneurs, and now you're feeling like, Okay, I
feel like my content isn't good enough. I feel like
I'm not good enough. I feel like no one likes me.
(13:45):
I feel like how like you just have all of
these spiraling thoughts, right, And it really is the limiting
beliefs that you are placing on yourselves. And I found
that in those limiting beliefs, I was actually, in a
way self sabotaging myself because I would have these spiraling,
limiting beliefs. I would create these narratives in these stories
(14:09):
that I was not good enough or I was not
capable to be at the level that some of these
other entrepreneurs our creators were at, and then that would
lead me into a crippling anxiety that would not allow
me to execute in the ways that I needed to right.
And I think that in continuing my research and learning
(14:31):
like how can I come bat this? I read in
a book called The Big Leap that oftentimes when we're
really going after something, we end up hitting this upper
limit right, and this upper limit could be where we're
self sabotaging ourselves to the point where you know, we're
(14:52):
not able to reach the level of success that we
really want to reach. And I think that through those
limiting beliefs, that is what really like, I needed to
break through that, and I felt that so many entrepreneurs
struggle with the same thing. It's the stories we tell
ourselves and it's learning how can we quiet the mind
so that we can really really get after what it
(15:14):
is that we want and that I did create a
productivity planner, and it's different from other planners because the
first few pages our works are kind of like worksheets
in a way, where we're working through exercises on addressing
what limiting beliefs you have and then affirming greatness into
(15:36):
yourself before you even start the planning process, before you
even start talking about your goals, because you have to
diminish the negative self talk first. Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
On your journey or with your mindset so far, who
or what inspires you to just keep pushing forward.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
My inspiration comes from a lot of places, but I
think mostly it comes from my family and from my
husband I think it's so important to have people in
your life to keep you grounded and people who can
remind you of who you are and what you stand for.
And so when I'm feeling that way and I'm talking
(16:17):
about it with either my husband or my parents, or
my brothers or my friends, they are quick to remind
me who I am, and they are quick to help
me to diminish any negative self talk that I have
about myself. Also, my therapist too, she is cool to say, girl, like,
(16:38):
you know that is not like here are some tips
that you need or here, here are some exercises that
you need to do to get yourself out of that
mindset because you're telling yourself the wrong stories, right. And
so I think having a community to really keep me
grounded and just really is really helpful. Because you get
on social media and it's so loud, yeah, and sometimes
(17:01):
you get caught up in all the trends because you're
trying to do what you feel like is working best
for other people. But when you sit back and talk
to talk to the people who know you best and
then also have conversations with yourself, right, because ultimately you
know yourself better than everyone else, and really just get
down to the root of like who am I like,
what do I want? And what do I want to
(17:23):
present to the world. I think that's when you can
come back to center. Yeah yeah, I completely agree. My
therapist he keeps me in seck.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh yeah, he clocks me every single time, and I'm like,
thank you so much, but that was me.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's but we need it. We need a kick in
the butt sometimes.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So how do you prioritize your goals and make decisions
that align with your vision?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That's such a great question. When it comes to my goals,
I've really I've really just thought about them as commitment
to myself. So if I'm going to be committed to
be disciplined, what does that look like. I'm committed to
being consistent, what does that look like? So I start
there first, and then in our planner we have where
(18:14):
you can write out your goals. So we haven't listed
out by your macro and your micro goals, and so
for the month, maybe what are the three big goals
that you have on your plate versus what are three
micro goals that can possibly help fuel the macro goals?
And so as you list out your goal, you're also
listing out the why and the how right, because I
(18:38):
think that sometimes we lose the purpose of what we're
striving for. And so when I'm answering those questions like
why is this a goal? Why is it important? And
how am I going to achieve it? Then I'm able
to think more strategically about it and build systems that
can bring it into fruition. And so I think when
you're mapping out your goals, ask yourself why and how
(19:02):
and when right? Make it timely? So thinking about it
as like a smart goal in a way, But when
do you want to achieve it by? Because sometimes we
make goals and then we make it too loose, and
then we look up and we're like, wait, I still
haven't I still haven't achieved that goal. Right, When you
have purpose behind it, when you have strategy behind it,
(19:24):
and when you have time, you know, make it time bound,
then you're able to actually see that goal through. And
I think, for me, as being a creative Gemini who
just has so many ideas, I get bored so easily.
I need to see it written out in that way.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Are you a mad Gemini or a June Gemini.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'm a June Gemini.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh my gosh, I'm in Aries, and I always say
either I would May Geminis, I get along with no problem,
June Geminis.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's either I do or I don't. So I get
a girl.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yes, remember are you March Yes, March Aries and that's
my bff.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
So okay, Well maybe maybe that's why you know how
to interact. But yeah, but then my moon is in Gemini,
So okay, the whole thing, I don't know anywha. What
role does resilience play in creating a life that feels
authentic to you?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
M I think that it plays a huge role because
there are so many things that might come up that's
not in alignment with how you thought it would be,
and you have to be resilient to push through it,
and you have to to just kind of like chuck
it off as being like a part of the journey, right,
(20:47):
So there are definitely a lot of roadblocks that might
come up where I'm like, okay, like I was not
expecting that to happen. Like say, for instance, when I
first when on my entrepreneurship Orny, and I was not
expecting to, you know, maybe go through a breakup and
have to move into this square foot apartment, and you know,
(21:09):
most of the money that I saved went towards my
rent right, And so that was a point where I
needed to be resilient and really push through that and
really just kind of focused on what the end goal
is that I was trying to achieve. But I think resilience,
If you can be resilient through your journey, then I
think that you can show yourself that you are strong
(21:32):
enough and you are capable to push through it.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, and how do you navigate those external pressures, you know,
whether it be family or friends having certain expectations of you,
or even just like what we were talking about earlier,
with those societal norms that we always hear so much about.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Mm hmm. I think I just work on quieting the noise.
And so if I feel myself maybe getting sucked into
what society is doing, or maybe like what my peers
are doing in the industry, I just take a break,
Like I really just disconnect from social media. I set
(22:18):
some digital boundaries, not only with social media but also
with family and friends, and so if I'm feeling like
I'm at capacity or I'm not able to talk or
I'm not able to be there in the ways that
you need me to be there. Then I just make
sure that I set those digital boundaries early on, so
you know where I'm at and I will meet you
(22:39):
where you're at when I'm able to. And I think
that early on in my entrepreneurship journey, I saw the
importance of setting those digital boundaries, and so one practice
that I started to do because I felt like before
nine am or early in the morning, it was just
feeling real hectic. It was just like people are calling me,
(23:02):
people are texting, clients are slacking me. I just I
just I can't write. And so I just had a
digital boundary, like before nine am, y'all not hearing from me,
I'm sorry, Like, I am going to use this time
to ease into my morning, to take care of myself,
(23:23):
to pull from my buckets of joy, whether that be journaling,
reading my book, or whatever it is. Before nine am,
that's my time. Yeah, So everything else is going to
be on do not disturb, so that I can focus
on pouring into myself. And I think that that really
helped me get into a good headspace as well.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I love that easing into the morning instead of
running through it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, I love that I need.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
To set that for myself as well.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The days of chaos. Okay, I can't.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's like I'm trying to.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
It's like I'm trying to catch up as soon as
I wake up, and it's crazy. I'm like, no, we
kind of need to dial it back. I need to
have time to just ease into the morning, like you said, like,
just yeah, it's got a rush. So I need to
try that for myself. That's going to be a good tip.
So like, what advice would you give to someone who
(24:19):
kind of feels stuck in life because where they're at
doesn't feel authentic to them.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
M you are hidden with a good question. So I
actually am working on a work book that is for
this specific thing. It's called the Unstuck work Book, right
because I've been there and I really felt like in
(24:50):
the beginning, specifically talking about my journey as a content creator,
I started off in fashion and beauty like so many others,
and as I reached the pandemic and I was asking
myself those reflective questions, I was just like, I don't
feel in alignment with this. I don't wear makeup every day.
(25:13):
I'm like kind of basic on the outfits I'm not
trying to grow my brand as being this beauty or
fashion guru. I really want to get down to the
nitty gritty and I want to have conversations. I want
to talk about mental health, I want to talk about
well being. I want to talk about these things. And
(25:36):
I think that for so long I was in my
head about like how do I pivot, how do I
switch up without shocking my audience, or the nervousness behind
losing people. And I think that naturally, when you make
any shift, or when you decide to speak out on
some of your beliefs, like mine being my faith, right,
(25:58):
you're naturally going to lose people. But I think that
you can't be tied so that you have to detach
from that because you're going to gain so many people
that are going to be happy to be a part
of your community. Right. And So if you're feeling stuck
and like you don't know where to go, I would
say ask yourself some reflective questions. Maybe one of those
(26:19):
questions could be, when you sit down and do a
visualization meditation, what are the glimpses of your life that
you see? Right. One of the questions that I asked
on My retreat that I had back in October was
think back to a time where you felt the most
joy and what were you doing during that time. One
(26:41):
of my friends she thought back to that time and
she was like, you know, when I felt the most joy,
it was when I was baking, when I was cooking,
when I was kind of using my hands and being
creative in that way. And so she's gotten back into
that hobby and she's, you know, felt more joy and
fulfillment in doing that because she's doing this thing for herself, right.
(27:02):
And I think that when you kind of sit with
yourself and ask yourself those reflective questions, you get deeper,
you get closer to what it is that you actually
want to do and who you actually want to be,
because I think that so much of the time, we're
allowing social media to kind of define who we are,
when really it might not even be what we want
(27:23):
to do. So you have to really sit with yourself
and ask yourself some deep questions because social media would
be quick to tell you who you should be, Yeah,
but it's for you to define who you want to be.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah. Yeah. How can listeners how can they start small
when working towards living on their own terms.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Do you have any advice for that?
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I think that when it comes to living on your
own terms, I think just do a mind map. And
so I kind of just love to do this mind
mapping exercise maybe like once a quarter or I'm kind
of redefining, Okay, who am I? What are the branches
that stem off of me? What is it that I
(28:10):
want to do? What do I want to create? And
I'm going based off of that, And so I would
definitely say sit with yourself, do a mind mapping exercise
to understand where is it you're trying to go, and
just allow yourself to tackle that piece by piece, like
you don't have to tackle it all at once, but
just allow yourself to tackle it piece by piece and
(28:32):
just see what it is that how you're being led
in that way. I think when we try to tackle
things in a bigger way, it feels overwhelming and then
we feel stuck again, right, because this is so daunting.
But I think if you can take it piece by piece,
then you can really feel like you're making bigger steps
(28:54):
towards where you want to be.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Oh, I love that, And just some reflective questions looking back,
What is something that you would tell your younger self
when you first started this journey.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I would definitely tell myself to take my time. I
think that sometimes you start something and you want to
hurry up and see like the results, and you want
to hurry up and you know, get everything together, do
all the fun stuff, do all the branding, all of
those things, and you kind of want to rush through
the process. But I think there's so much power in
(29:35):
taking your time, because when you rush through something, you're
more likely to feel the burnout, the stress, and the
overwhelm of it all. And I found that when I
take my time, even if it's taking me a little
bit longer to get there, I think that I feel
so much fulfillment. Yeah. Also it aids to my overarching goal,
(29:59):
which is longevity. Right, Like, I don't want to be
burnt out while building something. I want to be at
ease while I'm building it and feel excited and happy
about it and be able to feel all the feelings
in that process. And I want to make sure that
I'm building something that's going to last. And so just
(30:21):
take your time, like there's no rush. Don't let anyone
pressure you into feeling like you have to have it
all figured out and this time, like, go with what
you have and just let that be it for now.
You can always evolve or reinvent things, rebrand things as
you go, but just take your time and be intentional
(30:43):
and mindful in that.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
And my very last question, how has living life on
your own terms changed you as a person?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Oh? It has been such a confidence boost in so
many ways. I think that living life on my own
terms has allowed me to build my confidence and know
that I am capable of reaching my goals and dreams
(31:14):
without having someone tell me what my cap is.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
And I think in corporate I really struggled with, you know,
someone telling me, oh like, yeah, you're not ready to
get a promotion right now, or actually you can't take
that pto, or you know, just trying to put a
ceiling on top of me. And some of those ceilings
(31:40):
come from, you know, corporate policies, but some of it
I actually found comes from their own personal beliefs and
experiences that they're trying to pass on to you. Right.
And I think that allowing myself to live on my
own terms has allowed me to move that ceiling out
the way and to just reach for the stars and
(32:01):
not allow anyone to cap me and definitely being conscious
of not capping myself in any way like the self sabotage, right,
So that has been such a big learning for me.
