This week we lean into the business and workplace talk. While I am speaking from my own direct experience, I understand that there are plenty of people in work environments that aren't conducive to the main reason people are there, to get the work done. I sprinkle some other things in there but that's our focus this week.

This week we are talking about valuing your vision and standing beside it even when it starts to seem unclear. Also, let's talk about why people keep calling Russell Wilson corny.

Y'all know good and well I couldn't help naming this episode "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It". I honestly don't know where my brain goes when it comes to naming these episodes sometimes. But, we all know what was top of the mind this week. This week we cover Slapgate but not in the way you think. When was the last time you needed grace? Was it recorded for the world to see? I hope not. I also hope the last embarrassing moment you experienced wasn't out there for the world to see and make memes about. Beyond Slapgate, we discuss not placing your nevers on other people's " I believe it's possible". Also, the podcast has video this week. Yes, I got out of my comfort zone and recorded myself taping the podcast.

This first episode is about focusing on your path and journey. Just when you think you aren't doing enough, so many doors will open for you. Earlier this week we talked about consistency and today we are focusing on resilience. That same spark that made you start is fueled by the thing that will keep you going. Keep talking even if it seems like no one is listening. Keep writing even if it seems like no one is reading. Fun fact: they are. They just aren't interacting with you yet. It's similar to when you go in Marshall's or TJ Maxx and smell all of the candles before you buy a pot
I'm not going to hold you, this week's audio voice is giving quiet storm. I may have missed my calling or my decade LOL. This week we are discussing how what someone else may see as success could look like a failure to you. The truth of the matter is this; we all value different things at different levels. For instance, I could say ‘man, I worked out today' and somebody might say ‘girl, you are killing it. I haven't worked out in week.' To that person, I've accomplished something they haven't done yet. To me, I'm thinking about the fact that I only stretched and didn't lift any weights. Both of us are right. We are just looking at it from different vantage points. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cheiconic/message
