  • In todayā€™s episode, Iā€™m breaking down why itā€™s so damned hard for us to prioritize rest as leaders, specifically.

    But even better, Iā€™m also providing real life examples from a bunch of my clients to show how the principles weā€™ve talked about this season have led them to be even more effective leaders.

    Why?

    Because representation fucking matters.

    So I want to make sure you see that you arenā€™t the first to prioritize your thriving as a leader.

    Other leaders of color, just like you, are doing this work ā€“ without sacrificing success, financial stability, etc.

    And not only are they thriving, but the people around them are thriving, too.

  • If thereā€™s one thing weā€™ve all learned as folks of color in white dominated societies, itā€™s this:

    We are only worthy of being respected and lauded if weā€™re exceptional.

    In this episode, Iā€™m doing a deep dive on exceptionalism and how it impacts rest for leaders of color.

    Iā€™ll also be breaking down:

    how to evaluate if you REALLY care about being exceptional, or if society just taught you to care

    practices to help you feel safe even when youā€™re not ā€œexceptionalā€

    how to start choosing your rest over your work

  • Hereā€™s something we donā€™t talk about enough in regards to rest:

    Sometimes, youā€™re not exhausted because youā€™re working long hours, or spending a ton of time on something.

    Youā€™re exhausted because the thing that youā€™re doing, while short-lived, is emotionally draining.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    šŸ‘‰šŸæthe surprising reason so many folks are burnt out

    šŸ‘‰šŸæa small practice that helped her stop feeling guilty/shameful for not doing enough

    šŸ‘‰šŸæhow she stopped feeling shame when she didnā€™t have capacity for everything they ā€œshouldā€ do

    šŸ‘‰šŸæthe truth about emotional labor and how much it impacts you as a BIPOC leader

    šŸ‘‰šŸæhow to do more of what you WANT to do instead of what you SHOULD DO

  • Today we're talking about the B word... Not that one! The other one, BOUNDARIES.

    Boundaries are really fucking hard for almost all of us (myself included, sometimes!) because we live in a society where having personal boundaries is thought of as being selfish.

    In todayā€™s episode of the podcast, I break down why:

    šŸ‘‰šŸæworking on your ability to create & uphold boundaries is essential to rest

    šŸ‘‰šŸæyou have to learn how to create & uphold boundaries with yourself

    šŸ‘‰šŸæyou have to work on building your confidence to be better with boundaries

    I also go into a LOT of the ā€œhowā€ in this episode.

    I share:

    šŸ‘‰šŸæmy tried and true tool for helping clients get clear on what they ACTUALLY have capacity for

    šŸ‘‰šŸæ a trick to help you feel confident that youā€™ve done ā€œenoughā€ and deserve to enforce your boundaries

    šŸ‘‰šŸæmindset shifts to help you navigate when folks push back against your boundaries

    Thereā€™s 100% something even the most boundaried person in the world could take away from todayā€™s episode.

  • When Jaya and I started working together, they had been burnt out since their teens.

    (You read that right, their TEENS)

    Jaya leads a department for tech-driven programming a social justice nonprofit. Previously, they have run marketing and advertising campaigns at a number of startups and nonprofits over six years.

    And even though they had just had their most successful career yetā€¦

    ā€¦internally, they were hitting a breaking point.

    They still felt like they werenā€™t enough. They couldnā€™t celebrate themselves. They were working seven days a week for months on end.

    And their burnout had become physical, leaving them with chronic headaches and stomach issues.

    Sounds pretty dire, right? It was.

    Jaya now considers themselves recovered from burnout ā€“ after over a decade of pain.

    They are no longer working twice as hard ā€“ matter of fact, theyā€™re working way less. while still delivering excellent results at work.

    Listen in to find out how Jaya did it!

  • No matter what your racial or ethnic background is, if you grew up in a white-dominated environment, your parents probably told you some version of this:

    ā€œWe have to work twice as hard to get half as much as white folks.ā€

    In this episode, called, ā€œStop Working Twice As Hardā€, Iā€™ll be breaking down:
    šŸ’”when it IS true that we have to work twice as hard as folks of color
    šŸ’”why working twice as hard stops working sometimes
    šŸ’”simple ways you can cut down the work you do so that youā€™re no longer working twice as hard and burning yourself out

    ā€¦and so much more.

    This episode will have some hard truths (and some exciting perspective shifts!), but if you want to have more rest without sacrificing success, this is an episode you have
    to hear.

  • When I met my client Cassandra, she was an entrepreneur and the leader of a robust team of employees and contractors.

    Business was greatā€¦ but the personal was, well, not.

    She struggled to take time off, or enjoy her free time, because she still felt entirely integral to her teamā€™s execution & success.

    These days Cassandra is literally a whole new leader:

    sheā€™s created new, bold boundaries with her team & clients

    she takes so much time off to travel, Iā€™m jealous (and thatā€™s saying a lot!)

    she delegates ruthlessly

    she has a robust personal life that is creative, exciting, and thrilling

    she asks for what she needs, when she needs it ā€“ without internal drama

    sheā€™s unafraid of difficult conversations (even if they might impact her bottom line)

    Listen in to find out how she did it and how she continues to thrive.

  • Welcome back to season 4 of the podcast!!!

    If youā€™re true to this, you know that each season we focus on a specific issue that leaders and entrepreneurs of color navigate.

    So this season, I wanted to focus our conversation on how you can get more:

    šŸŒ“rest

    šŸŒ“joy

    šŸŒ“free time

    šŸŒ“creativity

    in your day-to-day life, without changing your job, abandoning your kids (lol!), or doing a complete overhaul.

    Weā€™ll be doing deep dives on some important topics like:

    šŸ‘‰šŸædo we really need to work twice as hard as folks of color?

    šŸ‘‰šŸæfeeling safe doing less & creating boundaries as a leader of color who is genuinely judged differently

    šŸ‘‰šŸæprioritizing yourself & your needs without shirking your responsibilities as a good leader

    šŸ‘‰šŸædecoupling your identity with your work and with being ā€œexceptionalā€

    and so much more, so press play and dive in!

  • As folks of color, itā€™s not uncommon for us to start our businesses because we hit (racist) walls in the corporate world.

    The only problem?

    Most of the timeā€¦we start our businesses being that same shitty boss we tried to escape.

    In todayā€™s episode, Iā€™ll be sharing the ultimate key to being loud, being real, and being seen:

    Doing it your own damn way.

    (Seriously, donā€™t even do mine!)

    This is why, when I recorded todayā€™s episode of the Revolutionary Rising Podcast, I gave it a bold name:

    The Most Important Episode

    Because the truth is, nothing else Iā€™ve told you throughout this season is going to matter if youā€™re still accidentally implementing it through this white supremacist, patriarchal lens.



    Iā€™ll also be talking about how you:

    Donā€™t have to hustle to be loud, real, and be seen Can be super private (or shy!) and still be fully expressed Can start implementing YOUR unique way of being loud, real, and seen

  • When I met Junielle, she went by ā€œElleā€...

    ā€¦because, you guessed it ā€“ she felt like her name was ā€œtoo difficult.ā€

    But lately, sheā€™s been reclaiming her voiceā€¦

    ā€¦and as sheā€™s reclaimed her voice, sheā€™s reclaimed her name.



    During this episode, we talked about so much, like:

    Junielleā€™s experience growing up as one of the few Black kids in her Canadian town why Junielle had to first feel ā€œworthyā€ and ā€œenoughā€ to reclaim her name how getting a full-time job was the best decision Junielle has ever made for her business how Junielle intentionally curates more joy in her day to day, even when she hasnā€™t met all her ā€œgoalsā€

    I love Junielle so much ā€“ and if you love me, I think youā€™ll adore this episode with her, too.



    About Junielle:

    She inspires. She uplifts. She is the hype woman to have in your corner. Junielle is a speaker and the founder of the Joy Calendar, a community for millennial women to have fun and schedule more joy in their lives.

    Weaving her mindset knowledge with her desire to find her authentic self in a world that praises conformity, Junielle is passionate about prioritizing her well-being while encouraging others to do the same.

    Her circle is grateful for her playful energy, her calm presence and her unwavering commitment to helping women live their best, bold and liberated lives.

    When sheā€™s not coming up with fun ways to infuse more joy in her communityā€™s lives, youā€™ll often find her tutoring high school students, or on Instagram, dancing to her favorite tunes.

  • As a result of ā€œcancel culture,ā€ you might feel pretty damned unsafe showing up boldly in these streets, because you canā€™t afford to say the wrong thing and have it impact your finances.

    I used to be terrified that when I spoke up as an entrepreneur and leader, Iā€™d be canceled or called out, too.

    But Iā€™m over that drama now.

    In this episode, Iā€™m talking about:

    why being called out can actually be a GOOD thing the #1 thing thatā€™ll help you give zero fucks about getting called out how it might be a good idea to care less about harming people (I know, spicy!) what to do if you get called out

  • If you want to truly be loud, be real, and be seen - youā€™ve gotta stop focusing on the folks who donā€™t care and instead Allow In The Good.

    Youā€™re not alone in this sib, you never are. So listen in!

    Hereā€™s what I'm diving into today:

    Why our brains focus on the negative as folks of color Why focusing on the good can feel really fucking unsafe Small ways to start ignoring the folks who donā€™t care and loving up on the folks who DO

  • When Eleanor and I met, Eleanor was running a profitable, successful financial consulting business and tbh, she was miserable.

    She was still working with (white dude) clients she hatedā€¦

    ā€¦working all hours of the day and nightā€¦

    ā€¦and was putting her passion projects to the side for what was more urgent and important.

    Today, her business couldnā€™t look any more different, and itā€™s safe to say that she has fully reclaimed it.

    Now, she integrated her passions INTO her business (she does financial coaching for women of color, too!)



    In this episode, Eleanor and I talk about:

    How our work together supported her in reclaiming her business to go from being a burden to something that she loved. Her history as a first gen Filipino woman, wife, and mother - and how it was impacting her ability to exist in the world the way she wanted How she makes change in her business in sustainable, trauma-informed ways




    About Eleanor:

    Eleanor Victorioso is a transformational life & money coach and CPA who lives in Los Angeles, CA with her partner and two children. She helps women develop a healthy relationship with money to make more intentional and guided financial decisions. She has a 4 part framework of helping her clients: Liberate from their money stories, Activate their money desires, Engage with those desires through goal setting strategies, and Commit to taking realistic and loving action to achieve those goals.

    She recently transitioned her career from primarily working with early-stage VC-funded startups to coaching individuals. Her passion lies in helping women connect with themselves and their ancestors to understand their inherent beauty and unique gifts. She believes that love, connection, and spiritual partnering are the ways that she can support women through this journey along with her financial experience.
