Quit Your Day Job! How Content Creator Drea Okeke Ditched Engineering for Hosting & Comedy Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Today we have the dynamic Drea Okeke, known to her 6 million followers as @drea_knowsbest. A Nigerian American content creator recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 and New York Magazine’s The Cut, Drea brings a unique blend of cultural richness and personal authenticity to her work. Her story begins as an engineer Lowe's, which enabled her to start her dual career as an engineer and content creator. Drea shared how her childhood passion for capturing moments on camera evolved into creating engaging content on platforms like Vine and TikTok. Even early in her career, she managed to integrate her vibrant personality and cultural roots, eventually growing a substantial following of 700,000 on Vine but then facing setbacks like losing those 700,000 followers in 2017.

What truly resonated with me were Drea’s insights into her transition from engineering to full-time content creation. She experienced pressure from her Nigerian family to pursue traditional careers (like so many of us First Gen folks do) and explains how she balanced these expectations with her passion for storytelling and humor. Her strategic approach to content creation, finding balance and advancing her skills through improv classes, and engaging with her audience through comments rather than likes, all underscored her thoughtful and genuine approach to her work. Reflecting on our shared experiences and immigrant backgrounds, we discussed how humor and authenticity have been pivotal in our respective careers. Drea’s recent endeavors, like the launch of her card game Sabi Slangs, demonstrated her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to cultural representation. It was an enriching conversation filled with valuable lessons on following your heart, strategically pursuing your goals, and investing in your personal brand.

In this episode you will learn:

Her thoughtful and intentional journey to leaving her full time job - 5:06
How improv comedy helped her be a better host & creator - 10:10

Empowering Expectant & New Parents on a Large Scale with Dr. Noa Sterling Dec 04, 2024

Show notes

Dr. Noa Sterling shares her experience as an OB-GYN, working ‘part time’ at 40 hours during her pregnancy changed her career. She shares how intense back-to-back 24 hour shifts while pregnant led her to leave her ob-gyn practice and create a platform helping parents across the country.

This conversation is deeply personal to me, as navigating the complex journey of pregnancy and post-partum while managing the demands of a high-pressure career was a challenge for me, as it is for so many women. Dr. Noa Sterling shares her experience as an OB-GYN and her bold decision to form a platform to help parents and serve the critical need to create better holistic support systems for expectant parents. It was inspiring to hear how she transformed her challenges into Sterling Parents, a platform addressing gaps in traditional reproductive care through detailed, compassionate, and evidence-based resources.

We bonded over balancing the delicate nuances of professional obligations and personal well-being. For me it led me to a pivotal decision: to step away from the corporate world and forge my own path. It was a move driven by the necessity to reclaim my health and prioritize my family, underscoring the importance of self-care during such a transformative phase.

In our conversation, we explored the role of accurate, accessible information and community support in alleviating the often-overwhelming mental load associated with pregnancy and postpartum phases. It was a heartfelt reminder of the profound impact of understanding and empathy in healthcare. As I listened to Dr. Sterling, I was reminded of my own journey towards embracing authenticity and the power of sharing our true experiences. This episode reaffirmed my commitment to honesty and openness, both in my professional endeavors and in supporting others navigating similar paths.

In this episode you will learn:

How to address pregnancy mental load and support needs - 7:46
Tools for preemptive pregnancy education to reduce mental load - 19:04
How she built a huge social media following...
