If you’re a mom, you’re working, and you’re a leader…

…and overall boss superhero.

When I reflect on the most enduring lessons I’ve learned in my five years of motherhood, these are the ones that emerge.

It’s hard enough being a woman at work. Add race on top of that, and the load multiplies exponentially.

For many years, I thought it was just me.

That if I just worked harder, or changed how I spoke, or became less “sensitive”, I would finally crack the code.

I got farther and farther away from myself, and the code just kept getting more and more obscure, until it just wasn’t worth it anymore.

The perfectionism, people pleasing, and over performance were causing more harm than good, so I took a step back and decided that I was going to do ME.

Not recklessly, but wisely.

And that’s what led to VOICE, my 5-step coaching program designed for women of color who want to lead without abandoning themselves.

V - Validate your story
O - Own your values
I - Invest in your toolkit
C - Choose strategic risks
E - Expand your impact

Someone else’s urgency is NOT your urgency.

I texted this to a colleague last week because it’s so easy to get swept up in someone else’s frantic energy and lose perspective on what’s reasonable.

If you’re responsive, empathic, and attuned, people probably love working with you, but they also will need you to reinforce your boundaries and priorities from time to time.

Here are some examples:

A quick acknowledgement that sets expectations

➡️ “I’ve received this but am unable to respond at this time. I will get back to you in a few days.”

Validating their urgency and holding your boundary

➡️ “I understand you are hoping for a quick response. I am responding to numerous requests and will do my best to prioritize yours in the next few days.”

Setting the tone for what’s reasonable

➡️ “Unfortunately with such short notice, I cannot respond thoroughly until next week. Please keep that in mind for future requests.”

It’s not “mean” or “rude” to be honest about your workload and capacity. In fact, it shows respect for the scope of what they’re asking for and a real commitment to giving an issue the time that it warrants.

🛟 Save this for the next time you’re pulled to react instead of respond.

Notice 🔹Name 🔹Normalize

1. NOTICE when your body is having an emotional response to something. You can’t regulate what you don’t see.

2. NAME the feeling so you can figure out what it might be trying to tell you.

3. NORMALIZE the experience of having feelings so that you don’t get in your own way by trying to suppress it.

📥 SAVE for the moment when you need these reminders.

No one likes feeling bad, but when we ignore or suppress our emotions, we lose valuable information like:

- What we care about
- What we stand for
- What healthy boundaries feel like
- What behavior we should not tolerate
- Who we are

There are 3 things you can do TODAY to respect your feelings:

1. Notice them
2. Name them
3. Normalize them

Grandma hobbies are finally going mainstream! (Well, at least New York Times mainstream…)

I started crocheting on a whim during the pandemic by watching YouTube videos and 6 years later I always have at least 3 works in progress at any given time.

Here are some of my creations.

❓Do you have a grandma hobby? What is it?

I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s sincere take on this trend but I couldn’t resist a more irreverent version. 🙃

I think it’s because I’ve really struggled to integrate the idea of who I was before motherhood with the person I am now, and releasing myself from my own and society’s impossible expectations has really helped.

Whether or not you feel chic, every hustling mom is a superhero in my book. 💪🏼

It’s back to school and summer is (almost) over. If you didn’t knock out all those summer chores, stop obsessing and instead:

1️⃣ ACCEPT that what didn’t get done didn’t get done. You can’t change that.

2️⃣ FEEL how ever you feel about it. Suppressing those feelings doesn’t work in the long term and will make it harder for you to move on.

3️⃣ REFOCUS on what you can realistically control. Maybe some of that stuff never gets done. Maybe it gets down on Saturdays 30 minutes at a time.

💪🏼 In the face of challenges big or small, realistic leads to resilient.

Validation is not about right or wrong - it’s about understanding the why behind your reactions. This leads to self knowledge which increases confidence over time.

Validation is also the cornerstone of my group coaching program for women of color leaders who want to lead without abandoning themselves. To learn more visit my website, link in bio.
