A creative block is when you feel you have a barrier to inspiration. You sit down to plan content for your business but you have no idea what to write. That's a creative block. Creative blocks can come on suddenly and knowing what triggers affect them can help you overcome creative blocks faster. When you’re in a space of creation, what does that look like? When you’re in a space of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, what does that look like? I experienced a creative block trying to figure out what to talk about on this podcast episode.

Take the first step towards your goal. I know that's easy to say but not as easy to do. You most likely know how to reach your goal. It's the breaking down of that goal into steps and not getting caught up in your thoughts that's keeping you stuck. The key to reaching your goal is to set milestones for yourself along the way. Then break down each milestone of your goal into smaller attainable steps to not be overwhelmed. You can apply this type of planning in all parts of your life.

What is gaslighting? Do you internalize stories that we or other people create? When we do, it makes us second guess our intuition. Are these stories holding you this back from reaching your full potential? Are we limiting ourselves because of what other people say or do? Take a step back and look at the possibilities before limiting yourself. A simple question to ask yourself may not stop your beliefs right away but questioning why you are holding yourself back is a continual practice. Being able to recognize your patterns and reminding yourself that the past does not define the future is the key to not gaslighting yourself and to start feeling limitless.

In honor of Black History Month, I am putting a spotlight on influential Black Americans that paved the way for others. Our last Black History Month spotlight is Activist, Marsha P. Johnson. Marsha was born Michael Malcolm James Jr. in New Jersey on August 24 1945. She began wearing dresses at the age of five but stopped after being harassed by neighborhood boys. After graduating high school, Marsha moved to New York City and after meeting gay people in the city she realized it was possible to be gay and came out. As a black, poor, gay, non gender conforming person. Marsha certainly knew what it was like to be marginalized. Despite Marsha's own physical and mental health issues, she spent most of her life helping others. Marsha's drive to continually show up as her true self and fight for the rights of others is truly commendable. In this episode Thea discusses: Who is Marsha P. Johnson?

In honor of Black History Month, I am putting a spotlight on influential Black Americans that paved the way for others. Our next Black History Month spotlight is American Artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. Jean-Michel Basquiat was an American artist of Haitian and Puerto Rican descent. He was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 22, 1960. Early in his life, it was evident that Jean-Michel was gifted. He learned to read and write by the age of four, and by the age of 11, he was fluent in French, Spanish and English, and an avid reader in all three languages. Jean-Michel was also a lover of art. He visited museums with his mother in Manhattan, and she encouraged her young artists by enrolling him in an arts-oriented private school. At first glance, Jean-Michel’s art could be described as primitive. But the images were complex and sophisticated. Through his art his worldview is evident and undeniably black. There are hints of Jackson Pollock, and influences from his Haitian and Puerto Rican ancestry. His most recognizable motif is the bowl crown that appears in most of his famous works. His art often had words written in the painting, echoing his graffiti roots, and the stream of consciousness that went into the creation of the work.

In honor of Black History Month, I am putting a spotlight on influential Black Americans that paved the way for others. Our next Black History Month spotlight is American Composer, William Grant Still. William Grant Hill was an American composer who composed more than 150 works, including five symphonies and eight operas. William was known as the Dean of African American classical composers, as well as one of America's foremost composers. He was born on May 11 1895 in Woodville, Mississippi. His mother was a teacher, and his father was a bandleader. After his father's death, the family moved to Arkansas, where his mother remarried, Williams formal music education began with violin lessons, and his love of music grew due to a stepfather, taking him to operettas and buying classical music recordings. As a young man, William went off to college to learn to become a doctor. However, he soon found himself conducting the university band, writing music, and teaching himself to play various instruments. He left his traditional college before graduating, so he could attend Oberlin Conservatory of Music. William served in World War One, and after the war, he moved to Harlem where he worked for WC Handy's Band. During this time, he was involved in the Harlem Renaissance movement. And through the 1920s, he composed and arranged music for various musicals and band leaders. By the 1930s he was writing popular music for radio programs and movies. In 1931, his first major orchestral composition, Symphony number one Afro American, was performed by the Rochester Philharmonic. It was the first time a complete score of work by an African American was performed by a major orchestra and by the end of World War Two, the piece had been performed in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles. Berlin, Paris and London. Until 1950 it was the most popular Symphony composed by an American. William also composed Song Of A City for the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. And in 1949, his opera troubled island was performed by the New York City Opera. It was the first opera by an American to be performed by that company, and the first by an African American to be performed by a major company.

Episode 68: Unbought and Unbossed - Shirley Chisholm In honor of Black History Month, I am putting a spotlight on influential black Americans that paved the way for others. Our first spotlight is the first African American candidate for a major party's nomination for president of the United States, Shirley Chisholm. Shirley was born on November 30, 1924. She was a politician, educator, author, and the first black woman elected to the United States Congress. Shirley's family immigrated from Barbados, and from a young age she had strong ties to the island. She lived by the mantra of being unbought and unbossed, a slogan that she used throughout her career, and was demonstrated from an early age. In college, she won prizes for her debate skills, not an easy fee as a woman. After graduation, she worked as a teacher's aide, and an early child care center. While she worked there, she continued her education to earn a master's in elementary education, which led her to move from aid to center director. She was not content simply letting injustices happen in front of her. She quickly became known for standing up for issues involving early education and child welfare. It didn't take long for Shirley to enter the world of politics. She started as a volunteer for Brooklyn's democratic clubs, and worked her way up from volunteer to the New York State Legislature. Shirley Chisholm is not only an inspiration for all women but she was also a force to be reckoned with. This story shows the determination of a smart, educated, and thoughtful woman of color but also the sheer will and refusal to accept the status quo.

Have you had the odds stacked against you? Have you let other people deter you from your dreams? Did you use other people’s skepticism as a way to drive you? What inspires you to keep pushing toward your dreams?Our guest today is no stranger to a childhood full of tragedies. Naomi Mamiye got married young just to have a home. She did not have parents to guide or have her back. Because of her foolishness of youth, years later she found herself divorced with 4 kids- no income or family to lean on. Naomi had to turn to her creativity to start a business. People laughed when she proposed to start the Naomi Mamiye Design firm. Instead of letting it bring her down, she used it as fuel to propel herself ahead and prove them wrong. Naomi pushed herself hard to get to the top of the design world. She did her first few projects free of charge to get her name out. With a good reputation, one referral came after the next and she never had to advertise. With a specialty in healthcare, Naomi Mamiye travels across the United States designing hospitals, rehab centers, assisted living centers, drug rehab centers and corporate offices. There is no single designer with these many projects to their name. Today, years later, she is considered a leader in the field and constantly gets asked by beginner designers for advice or to watch her work. Naomi spends endless hours with all, setting them up to start businesses of their own.

Welcome to season 2 of the Push or Pivot podcast! Wow! I can’t believe I wrapped up season 1 of the podcast with 57 episodes under my belt. This journey has been amazing. I interviewed some amazing people who weren’t afraid of telling their story and inspiring others along the way. We talked about their crossroads. You know those moments in life where you have to make a choice. Are you going to continue going the way you've been? Or are you going to stop, reassess, and pivot? Thank you to everyone who came on the podcast, talked about how they became the person that they are today, how they went through amazing challenges, and realized that all they had to do was trust in their intuition and that they could see their way through. I'm so thankful for all the people that came on, we met so many incredible people with so many incredible stories. If you’ve been listening to this podcast from episode one, then you’ll know I haven’t really shared my background, my story, or my push or pivot moments. You may have learned a few things about me from some of the interviews but you haven’t heard my journey into becoming an entrepreneur, a life coach, a podcaster. In this episode, I’m sharing: How I became a Life CoachThe moment where I had to trust my intuition and make a tough decisionWhat happened when I took the leap and left my career in the medical fieldMy journey to creating this podcast Ready to get out of your rut?
