Looking For My Fit

It has been 4 months since the last episode, but I'm so happy to share that the podcast is baaaaack! The last few months have been been filled with changes, including a change in perspective. I'm talking about it today, and I'm not alone! My oldest daughter Jordan is joining me on this episode as we talk about the changes we've experienced and the impact those changes have had on us.

Life happens in seasons. Some seasons are for progressing, working towards goals, and climbing upwards to new levels. Then there are seasons that are simply made for sitting still, acknowledging how far you've climbed, and taking the time to enjoy the view from where you are. And that's exactly what I've been doing.  Are you in a constant state of checking things off your list and moving on to the next? If so, this is the episode for you!Let's connect!Follow me on social media! Check me out at www.sociatap.com/mekrichQuestions? Email jemekka@lookingformyfit.org

It's been a minute y'all, but what an amazing way to come back on the grid! On this episode I'm speaking with one of my best friends LeLe Jones Sneed who is an FBI agent, working mother, songwriter, and author of the book "Be True to You". "Beautifully written and illustrated, "Be True to You" is a book that will be handed down through generations. What started as a note to her daughter True to always remember to be true to herself, turned into a beautiful mother/daughter collaboration reminding ALL women to prioritize their personal well-being.This transparent conversation was eye opening for me! So eye opening that I went on sabbatical for 2 months after we recorded (more about that on the next episode). I genuinely believe that this book will remind and inspire you (and our younger generation) to live your most authentic life!Order your copy of "Be True to You" at www.trueedenbeauty.comConnect with LeLe Jones Sneed: IG @trueedenbeauty @lelejonessneedFollow me on social media!

Waiting and being patient can be HARD! Especially when things aren't going the way you expected. I recently listened to a podcast that reminded me of why it's important to wait and resist the urge to skip steps! On this episode, I'm sharing why this resonated with me so much.

Recently, I found myself feeling stuck because I was struggling to make decisions. I was overthinking and changing my mind every day. Then a lesson I used to teach my students came back around to teach me. That's when I realized that it was time to get out of my feelings, and get into my purpose! If you've been experiencing something similar, I hope that this advice frees you too! Let's get into it!Like the Dope Chick And Fly Kicks Hoodie? Click Here!Join the journey!

Sometimes you can get so fixated on the next thing that you're hoping to have happen in your life, that you don't take the time to appreciate the things that are currently happening in your life.

When we're looking to make a change in our lives, we usually on focus on the things we need to give up, versus the things we can add. I don't know about you, but that rarely works for me. When I try depriving myself of things, it usually ends with me wanting that thing even more. So I'm shifting from having a deprivation mindset, to having a "more" mindset. What do I want more of? Well, that's what I'm sharing on this episode. I hope this inspires you to look for more too!   Join the journey! Click here to connect on all social media platforms!Questions?

We're living in a time where hustle & grind and lack of sleep are glorified.  We're also living in a time where we are burning ourselves out trying to prove our value.We work tirelessly until we are completely burnt out, THEN we try to take care of ourselves. It does NOT have to be this way!  On this episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, better known as Dr. PBJ. She is the burnout disrupter, and today she's sharing how we can create boundaries that allow us to be proactive vs. reactive. Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, known in her community by Dr. PBJ, is an educator of over 20 years, an Executive Coach for more than 10 years, and the creator and host of the Heart Work with PBJ podcast.  Dr. Jackson founded EduCare Training and Consulting, LLC out of a passion for equipping and supporting "heart-workers"; those who do their work with their whole heart. Working in this way can carry a high price tag:  your mind, your body, and your relationships may be in distress as you serve the needs of others.   Dr. Jackson leads her community in disrupting cycles of burnout so you can do the work you are called to do without losing the life you desire.Connect with Dr. PBJ!Website:www.patricebucknerjackson.comSocial Media:  https://www.facebook.com/drpatricebucknerjackson, https://www.instagram.com/drpatricebucknerjackson/Listeners can receive a free copy of her eBook, The Myth of Balanced Time by sharing their feedback about our episode at https://form.jotform.com/212102325359042Let's connect on social media!
