The Happy Executive Woman® Podcast

I’ve always prided myself on being the Black woman that White people could come to to understand the Black culture. Otherwise, how would you learn?  The media? Television? Spoiler alert, don’t believe everything you see and hear in the media. In 2020, the senseless murders of my Black brothers and sisters were plastered all over the news, papers, and social media. I had to take time to proces...

Hello, beautiful! Join us today on the podcast for a candid conversation with the phenomenal  Joy Acaso !

Before leaving to go to Cabo, I was in a transformational space related to my focus on the business and the podcast. I was overwhelmed with the energy of multi-generational trauma, feeling it deeply as an empath and not knowing what I wanted to do with it all. It was time for a year in review. I typically do this in my business at the end of the year. However, as the energy of the world continues...

It’s that time of year that I begin to hibernate and take a good look at the business mission, direction, vision, and team members. This includes independent contractors. I take a step back and take a serious look at what worked, what I need to start doing, and what I need to stop doing as I move into the new year. Maybe it’s time you took a good look at your executive assistant or your need to hi...

I‘ve always had a vivid imagination even in childhood. Being a daughter of older parents and the youngest in my family meant that there was a lot of alone time. My childhood is where I grew to love reading, listening to music, and  business . I would get lost in my imagination traveling to the places I read about, and seeing myself there, especially when things were chaotic or confusing.&nbsp...

Hey there, beautiful. I’ve been relatively quiet this week or the past couple of weeks trying to determine what was safe to post on social media, including LinkedIn as I’m feeling all the feels of current events that have been re-traumatizing in many ways, so I’ve waited all week to create this post. While so many positive things are happening in my world,  my heart and soul still feel the en...

It’s funny how as you continue to – we’ll say get wiser instead of get older – but it’s funny how when you start to look back, and you remember things from your childhood, you remember interactions with your parents, that the things that bothered you so much in the past, you start to understand why they happened. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you agree with them or that they were okay, whatever...

There was a time when I would choke up during meetings or conversations. It’s always happened when I wanted to express myself naturally but didn’t want to be labeled as the angry or aggressive Black woman when I prefer to be more direct. Has this happened to you? You know exactly what you want to say in your own way, but you hesitate and frantically search your mind for the more soft or corporatel...

I remember this day, roughly four years ago, I was standing on the train platform waiting for the train to go to work. I was on New York hours, so it was dark when I left home headed for the office. I believe the temperature was between -10 to -15. If it was -17, we were then allowed to work from home, and as you can tell, this is probably pre-COVID. Two years later, working from home became the n...

So many of my clients initially suffered from imposter syndrome just like you. You know who you are, what you have to offer, how hard you work to get where you are, yet you still doubt your abilities and your worth. I’m not exempt by any means. Imposter syndrome for me may as well have been like an outfit that I wore for a photoshoot last summer. I walked around with the dreaded imposter syndrome...

Ho...

Lately, I have been on a quest to get up earlier than usual to begin a new morning routine of prayer, meditation, mindset work, and a little bit of yoga. But the brain, being my brain, is doing its best to keep me on my usual routine of staying in bed, although half-awake until the alarm goes off. Changing your emotional routine is just as challenging. When you’ve been in relationships that have m...
