Why you need to get out of your pajamas

If you really knew me, you’d know I love to be cozy and comfy. My favorite moment of the day is when I get home, take off my bra, and lounge in my jammies. #DaytimeCouchtime

As we move through the pandemic haze, I realize that authentic connection is the currency of 2023.

We need to get out of the comfort of our homes and pajamas, so we can connect with each other in real life again. It’s truly where all the magic happens for building a thriving business and meaningful life.

I just got back from a 3-Day event with my girl Nicole Walters and Jen Kem. The event tagline was, “My why is worth it.”

On the heels of my book launch party, I knew I’d be tired. And the last thing I wanted to do was get on a plane, leave my family, and be peopling 24/7.

BUT, I knew my why was worth it.

I'm on a mission for more women (especially women of color) to read business books that represent their lived experiences and unique challenges. So that means, I need to show up where my people are hanging out.

Is there an area in your business or life where you know you've leaned heavily on comfort, and you know it's time to make a shift so you can stay aligned with your dreams?

Building Dreams Through Conversations, Community,
and Laughter

We’re in a season where transparency, critical conversations, and deepening connections matter more than ever as we navigate these uncharted waters of collective burnout. Anti-hustle is the antidote to burnout. So we also need more lightness and laughter to not take ourselves too seriously. And I can think of no one more perfect than my close friend, Tamika Lewis to explore these topics.

Tamika Lewis, LCSW is the founder and Clinical Director of Womxn of Color Therapy Inc., a mental health and wellness center that supports teens and womxn of color in Los Angeles, California. She specializes in women's issues and emphasizes the importance of decolonizing traditional approaches to psychotherapy.

What you'll hear (and don't want to miss!):

» Why it’s important as a leader to focus on transparency and intimate conversations to bring people closer (especially if you have a team)

» A look back at the mastermind that we had together and the impact that it had on the both of us for building our dreams

» What it looks like to shift from doing your day-to-day work to being a visionary for your company

» The essential things that women of color who are exploring clinical and therapeutic support should look for

» A magical story about Tamika’s daughter manifesting her dreams (with a celebrity singer we both admire) that demonstrates the power in appreciating the work that others do

» Tamika’s advice for others building a business and pursuing their dreams, and the way that she is returning to the essence of who she is through nature and regular practices
