Happy Black Woman Podcast With Rosetta Thurman

I'm back from an amazing weekend in Atlanta where I hosted my 5th and final Launch Your Business LIVE Boot Camp! After years of working with hundreds of Black women entrepreneurs, I've noticed how important it is for us to have open and honest conversations about self-care, boundaries and putting ourselves first. At the event, I was able to coach several women on how to let go of situations that no longer served them, which inspired this episode. I explore 3 areas where you may need to "spring clean" your life, including action steps you can take in your relationships, business/career and environment.

When black women are living a happy and fulfilled life, everyone benefits. It’s tempting for black women of all ages to believe that taking care of themselves is selfish. People depend on you.

There are all kinds of reasons this is true and it is helpful to a certain degree to dig into those reasons. But more important is the recognition that you actually CAN say yes to yourself. There are many times in life when it is entirely appropriate. This episode is aimed at helping you break out of that limiting mindset that causes you to say “no” to yourself so often. Rosetta has some great ideas and practical tips to share, so be sure you listen. You achieve much once you stop telling yourself you can’t do things. ~ Elizabeth Kadetsky We all battle to overcome our limitations. It’s part of being human. One of the most common is the tendency to tell yourselves that certain things are off-limits for us. But where did that idea come from? Most likely it is a belief developed during childhood. Did you hear that? Childhood. Are you a child now? No. You are an adult. So what does that mean for your pr
