Almost every one of us has felt the uncomfortableness of being the “token” black person at some point in their lives.

Her story became the subject of a viral Huffington Post article and the impetus for her podcast, The Only One in the Room. Today, she teaches us how “otherness” can lead to personal growth, and how vital finding community with your “tribe” is for your sense of security and belonging.

How to Launch Into Your Dream Life (w/ Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis) Mar 23, 2020

We move around at a hundred million miles an hour all of the time. And sometimes, the only way the universe can get our attention is to force us into a sacred pause. And now the world is in a period of mandatory stillness. Psychologist, speaker and professor, Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis has brilliantly dubbed this time a “divine opportunity” to take inventory over our lives, gain clarity, and dig deep to understand what really matters to us. Dr. Thema cautions us to break the vicious cycle of conflating our “busy-ness” with our value, and offers a blueprint for defining the places where we’re accepting a “basement” existence when we were made for a “penthouse” lifestyle.

Stay True. Get Paid. Do Good (w/ Rha Goddess) Mar 16, 2020

We are all born to fulfill a specific “calling” on this Earth. However, so many of us succumb to outside pressures and end up settling for a life that is “safe,” or that maintains a sense of harmony for the people around us. Soul coach, author and entrepreneur, Rha Goddess has dubbed this phenomenon “the trade.” And in her thought-provoking new book The Calling, she boldly challenges the status quo to encourage each of us to seek and follow our passions, to unapologetically monetize our gifts, and to make sure we do this work with a heart towards service. If you’re tired of theology that doesn’t offer the specific actionable steps, Rha’s the expert you’ve been looking for to help you become the person you were meant to be!

How to Stand Tall Even When You Stand Alone Mar 09, 2020

Have you ever stopped to think: If you knew you were going to die, what would you do with your life? When Justin was asked this question by his dying grandmother, he was confronted with a life-changing decision: continue living the “good corporate life” or pursue his dreams. In this special replay of his appearance on The Only One in the Room Podcast with Laura Cathcart Robbins, Justin explains how this crossroads led to him totally upending his life to pursue a path that was completely unfamiliar, but much more closely aligned with his deepest desires. And as he recounts his remarkable journey to step into who he was meant to be, he learned there is often strength in walking alone.
