Revolutionary Rising

"Anything that doesn't affirm you needs to be avoided like the plague"   Today, we're talking about how Dalia went from shut down to being more visible than most folks could dream of.   (And feeling safe being that visible, too!)   In this episode, Dalia and I discussed: How saying "no" is a complete sentence How Dalia got the courage to go for being for "everyone" to being just for queer BIPOC Ho...

If you want to truly be loud, be real, and be seen - you've gotta stop focusing on the folks who don't care and instead Allow In The Good.  Because quite simply focusing on the negative and bad experiences 100% kills your ability to actually be loud, real and seen! You're not alone in this sib, you never are . So listen in! Here's what I'm diving into today: Why our brains focus on the negative as...

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 hated…   …working all hours of the day and night…   …and was putting her passion projects to the side for what was more urgent and important.   Today, her business couldn't look any more different, and it's safe to say...

Are you ready to get your wig snatched this episode???    Is anyone actually ever ready to get their wig snatched? 🤔 I guess not but it's happening anyways!    I swear no one's really talking about today's topic but you already know that I hate following the norm so I'm talking about it.   I know you looked at today's episode title and said wtf, I care about people, and I'm sure you do but I swea...

I'm so excited to be interviewing Emma Weatherall and sharing her story of how she went from brilliant and hiding, to brilliant and shouting it from the rooftops.   During this episode Emma and I discuss: How not understanding cultural cues from "dominant culture" impacted her confidence  The difference between knowing you're good at what you do…and OWNING that you're good at what you do Why perfe...

This topic has quickly and easily become one of my favorite things to talk about in this world.   So today's episode is all about safety… which is the crucial piece to being loud, being real, and being seen.   This week's episode gives us the secret to feeling way safer showing up, speaking up, and being seen.   I've used this secret countless times in my business, and my clients have used it too....

"Be where you are, be the fullest expression of who and what you are in this moment."    Today we are blessed to have Brenda Ramos join us as our first guest of the season!   Brenda works at the intersection of mindfulness, spirituality, and decoloniality as a life coach, mindfulness meditation teacher, and intuitive movement guide.   In this episode Brenda and I discuss:  Her intersectional ident...

Today's topic is my bread and butter y'all!    Most of us have learned about showing up and being seen through a super white lens. But that white lens is not for us because it places blame on us.    It tells us that we are playing small and getting in our own way but we've been conditioned to feel that way.   Here's the good news though: once you know and truly believe that so many of the things y...

The Bitch is back y'all!    We are on season 3 and this season is all about being loud, being real, and being seen!   This season is going to be different from the first 2 seasons- we're diving into new topics and new perspectives. And guests are back this season because 1. Representation matters and 2. I want you to experience their journeys and how they've learned to be their bold, messy, loud,...

That's a wrap on season 2! This episode we are chatting with the amazing Olivia Howard. If you don't know who they are, I promise you, you will be glad you hopped on this episode. We are wrapping up all the things that were discussed in this season about revolutionary leadership, and discussing the final, *most important* topic… YOU! That's right, the most important aspect to revolutionary leaders...

This episode is perfect in all the imperfect ways. We all hold onto this thought, even a little bit whether you are a revolutionary leader or not, that to be the BEST at anything, we must be perfect in all of the ways. Not only is this complete BS…  It's exhausting! Let's get real together, perfectionism isn't a damn thing. As revolutionary leaders we acknowledge that perfectionism needs to be put...

Size… really doesn't matter! This episode we are talking all about size… business size!  There are a whoooooole lot of people out there who will tell you if you don't want to have a seven figure business with 20+ employees you have a mindset problem, or you are playing small.  *sigh*  Maybe you still believe that a large business equals success but you are exhausted, burnout, and unsettled. There...

Continuing the conversation about overgiving and boundaries This episode is a love letter to all the people pleasers, responsibility holders, and folks who love to take care of other people.  We are conditioned through our formative years to believe that to make a difference, to be successful, we must follow the golden rule of capitalism, to give everything we possibly can. Our needs are unimporta...

Revolutionary leadership is NOT synonymous with overgiving!  Regardless of the season, overgiving is never in. We are chatting all about the 'why' of overgiving. You may ask yourself, how do I regulate my giving when I want to serve and give to as many people as possible? We are diving into giving at our own expense, serving when it is not the best thing for us, when we have other needs, when we a...

Overcoming the lonely road of leadership After the last episode we know why revolutionary leadership can get so damn lonely, now we are digging into what the fuck to do about it! We CRAVE a community of like minded people, and seek nourishing reciprocal relationships, but as we dive head first into the pool of prospects we tend to feel a bit more let down versus lifted up.  While each of our journ...

Based on the saying that we all know, and have honestly felt intimately at some point or another, " it's lonely at the top" .  So many of my clients that I work with come to me at pretty much the same point... they are good at holding communities together for others, but feel devoid of a community which supports them in all their needs and wants. Listen, this isolation of revolutionary leaders is...

After discussing the concept of leadership and power in episode two, it is time we discuss the importance of leaning into our leadership and continually seeing and expressing our power. Doing this is necessary to make the massive impact we are hoping for, to liberate our communities, and create better futures for us all. It is time for you to deepen and expand your power. Listen to this episode an...

You might not know this but as a woman or femme of color you probably have a toxic relationship with power and leadership   Don't believe me? Listen to today's episode where we're diving into the concept of power and leadership and why our relationships to them are just a little screwed up   Today we're going to talk about: Why we're so uncomfortable with leadership Why power is often seen as oppr...

Welcome back to Revolutionary Rising! I am coming back loaded with all the things you loved in last season, but also going on a journey together, exploring topics from many sides.    Together we are EVOLVING…   We are moving on from conversations about confidence and feeling stuck. We know how to overcome obstacles when we need to. Instead, we are discussing meeting not only others' needs, but als...

Do you have pieces of your business that just don't feel right for you right now? If so - it's okay to take a step back, my dear. It's okay to take some space from something to get in right relationship with it. In today's episode, I share how I am reevaluating the ways I show up in my marketing and how you can avoid capitalism's trap of urgency by taking space from the things that do not feel in...

Finding and connecting to our truth is deeply important for us as women and femmes of color - it gives us the freedom to do business in the revolutionary ways we crave. In today's episode, I talk to embodiment and storytelling coach Akansha Agrawal, about reclaiming the narrative around who we "need" to be to find success in this world and how owning your truest self can help you step up as the le...

You don't have to search for it. The patriarchy doesn't need to tell you what it is. The way you're meant to operate, the way you're meant to do business - the answers are already inside of you. In today's episode, I talk to brand astrologer and designer, Leslie Tagorda, about how she built a revolutionary business by doing what she loves and how you can release the limiting beliefs around what yo...

We're told that once we make X amount of money in our business - we'll be successful and we can finally rest and enjoy it. Truth is, honey, this is capitalist bullshit. And if you are trying to do business in a revolutionary way, you will always be at odds with this idea. In today's episode, I break down the "money is success" myth and walk you through the mindset tools you need to decolonize your...

You can create a business that feels good for you AND see it thrive - whatever thriving means for you. You can do this while still honoring all of your intersectional identities and being the whole, authentic human you are. In today's episode, I talk with inclusive business coach, VP Wright, about how she helps build ethical and sustainable online community-based businesses and the important ways...

Here's what I know, my dear - everything can wait.  Your business can wait. Your friends can wait. Your to-do list can wait.  But white supremacy culture wants you to believe otherwise! In today's episode, I am digging into the concept of urgency, how harmful it is for us as folks of color, and what we can be doing to combat this so we can lead more revolutionary lives and businesses.  I am diggin...
