Yomi's Musings

Send us Fan Mail Someone out there might be in secret competition with you and you didn't even agree to the race. In this episode, I unpack the difference between competition, covetousness and contentment, and why staying rooted in your own lane is one of the most freeing things you can do. Compete without coveting! Strive without comparing!! Stay in your lane!!! Support the show #YomisMusing...

Send us Fan Mail The room wasn't built with you in mind, walk in anyway. In this episode, I share the story of holding my own in a male dominated space early in my career and what it taught me about belonging, voice and the difference between being loud and being rooted. This one is for the women already in the room who still sometimes question if they belong and for the women who haven'...

But kindness lives in the smaller places too; in a rewritten email, in a measured response, in the thing you chose not to say.
