It's by George Budwell and featured on finance.yahoo.com. Here are a few quotes on what he says about each of his recommendations. “1. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has established a dominant position as the leader in AI hardware and software, with CEO Jensen Huang recently declaring that the ‘vast majority' of AI inference runs on their platforms. Despite being down 12.3% year to date, Nvidia shares now trade at 26.2 times forward earnings, a historically low multiple that creates an attractive entry point for this wide-moat business. The company roadmap includes Blackwell Ultra arriving later this year, followed by Vera Rubin in 2026 and Rubin Ultra in 2027, providing a clear growth trajectory… While several tech giants are investing in custom chips and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is developing competing GPUs, Nvidia's unified hardware and software ecosystem and expansion into new AI domains position it to maintain market leadership for years to come. This combination of technical leadership, ecosystem lock-in, and strategic expansion into emerging areas makes Nvidia an essential infrastructure provider for the entire AI revolution. 2. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) has evolved into a technology powerhouse, with business lines spanning from advertising to cloud computing and AI. Despite being down 12.7% year to date, the search titan's stock trades at just 18.6 times forward earnings, offering compelling value in the ultra-high-growth tech sector. While Google Search remains the primary revenue driver, Alphabet is investing heavily in AI to improve its search capabilities and bolster its competitive positions in cloud computing, agentic AI, and robotics… Though regulatory scrutiny remains a concern regarding its search dominance, the company's diverse capabilities across digital advertising, cloud infrastructure, and AI development position it as a cornerstone technology investment with multiple growth vectors beyond its core search business. So, if you're building an AI-themed portfolio, Alphabet scans as an essential stock to own. 3. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is a leader in cloud infrastructure and AI, driven by its Azure platform and strategic partnership with OpenAI. Following a 7.2% year-to-date decline, the tech giant's shares trade at 26.1 times forward earnings, presenting an attractive entry point into this high-growth sector. Microsoft stock, after all, was trading at over 35 times forward earnings around this time last year… With cloud adoption accelerating and AI integration expanding across its product suite, Microsoft is exceptionally well positioned for sustained growth. As a result, this tech stock represents a core play in both cloud infrastructure and large-scale AI deployment, making it a cornerstone holding for AI investors.” End quotes. -------------------------------------------------------------- One additional article link Title: 10 Pro-Life Companies to Invest In Now on insidermonkey.com.

The CISO role is constantly changing. With all the shifts in cybersecurity, it's crucial to find ways to attract new talent to close the growing skills gap. CISOs now juggle complex systems managed at multiple levels and handle burnout amongst many other responsibilities. Today's guest is Jill Knesek. Jill is the Chief Information Security Officer for Blackline, a company that does financial SaaS solutions. It's based out of the Los Angeles area. She's been there almost three years now as the CISO, running the information security team. She previously served as Chief Security Officer for BT Global Services. She has more than 15 years' experience directing security programs, including service as a special agent for the FBI assigned to the Cyber Crime Squad in Los Angeles Field Office, where she was involved in several high-profile cases, including Kevin Mitnick.  In this episode, we cover the CISO role evolving from low visibility to a C-level position, managing multi-cloud infrastructures and aligning with other teams and the ongoing cybersecurity skills gap and burnout. Jill also talks about incident response and crisis management and collaboration within the cybersecurity community to fill the blind spots and strengthen the defenses. Show Notes: [01:23] She's now the Chief Information Security Officer for Blackline, a company that does financial SaaS solutions. [02:00] She was also an FBI special agent for 3 and 1/2 years working cybercrime. She was super excited, because this was her lifelong dream. [03:35] She loved the FBI, but she knew she could do more for the industry on the private side. [04:21] Jill talks about how the CISO role has evolved. It's now a C-level position. [06:26] Some of the boards were very interested in what was going on with security. There has to be a balance with funding and proving your success. [07:39] Now complexity is an issue.  [09:03] The cloud adds so many connecting services.  [11:45] CISOs are getting more responsibility and need more qualified people in their teams. There's a gap with not enough people coming into the cybersecurity industry. [12:30] How the idea of stress and working nights and weekends can deter some graduates from the cybersecurity industry. [15:15] Boards and executive committees expect the CISO to be right in the middle of things. They want real-time updates and to know what everyone is working on right now. [17:47] The importance of keeping a calm level-headed view when something goes wrong. [21:41] We learn about the flow of straightening out curves or incidents. Learn during the small incidents and practice the process. [23:57] The importance of not scolding the team for being too quick to react. It's better to have a false alarm than to ignore a serious problem. [25:10] Jill does a one-to-one with everyone on her team each quarter. She tries to Mentor them with some of the things that she's learned. [30:29] We hear about a couple of incidents where ransomware got into the environment.  [35:01] When someone else reported that something weird was going on in the network. [38:27] To help with the talent gap, we need to start introducing cybersecurity at the high school level. [42:15] It's important for CISOs to be connected with other groups and events.

Anbieter von Software für die Finanzabteilung reichern ihre Tools in immer stärkerem Maße mit Künstlicher Intelligenz an, und das in schnell aufeinanderfolgenden Update-Zyklen. Beispiel Finance & Accounting: „Jedes halbe Jahr kommen Neuerungen in unsere Software, allen voran natürlich neue KI-Funktionen“, berichtet Ralph Weiss, Deutschlandchef von einem der Anbieter in diesem Bereich, Blackline. „Bei der Datenbeschaffung und -bewertung leistet KI heute schon deutliche Unterstützung“, glaubt Weiss. Aber die Einführung gehe „sachte“ voran, insbesondere in sensiblen Bereichen der CFO-Domäne: „Der CFO muss natürlich auch im KI-Zeitalter weiterhin für die Richtigkeit der Zahlen geradestehen, wenn der Jahresabschluss an den Kapitalmarkt oder an das Finanzamt geht. In diesen regulierten Bereichen kann man die KI aktuell nur als Assistenten einsetzen, der Vorschläge macht und die Arbeit erleichtert.“ Doch im Rahmen des jeweils Möglichen schreitet die Anreicherung von Finanz-Software mit Künstlicher Intelligenz offenbar zügig voran. Und die Feedbacks der Nutzer seien besser als bei RPA (Robotic Process Automation), behauptet Weiss. Die Innovation RPA hatte Finanzteams vor einigen Jahren schon einmal große Produktivitätsgewinne in Aussicht gestellt, zum großen Durchbruch kam es aber nie. Weiss: „Der Unterschied zwischen KI und RPA aus meiner Sicht: RPA erfordert eine hohe technische Kompetenz. KI ist hingegen ein Massenthema. Wir begegnen KI-Assistenten auch im privaten Alltag. Künstliche Intelligenz kann man auch nutzen, ohne eine Einführung zu bekommen – bei RPA war das anders.“ Welche Beobachtungen er bei der KI-Adaption in den Finanzteams großer und kleiner Unternehmen macht, berichtet Ralph Weiss hier bei FINANCE-TV.

Em mais um episódio do Contabilizando, Ricardo Rios comenta sobre o sistema Blackline e sua relação com a IA.

When Mark Partin first became CFO at BlackLine nearly a decade ago, the concept of Sales Ops was still rather new within the company, and he was tasked with building it from scratch. Over time, Sales Ops evolved into Revenue Ops, integrating finance, sales, and customer success functions to support BlackLine's rapid growth. In this discussion, Partin shares critical milestones, including consolidating over 100 systems to achieve a "single source of truth," aligning departments around the customer journey, and leveraging data to drive productivity and efficiency—a transformative journey that enabled sustainable growth.

This episode features an interview with Emily Campbell, CMO at Blackline, a leading provider of cloud software that automates and controls critical accounting processes.In this episode, Emily discusses their shift to lifecycle marketing and her focus on doing fewer things better to drive efficiency. She also dives into her approach to experimentation, and how she's allocating 50% of her budget to experiments as a way to future proof their organization. Key Takeaways:It's important to understand how the customer behaves at each stage of the buying journey and to build lifecycle campaigns accordingly. A connected content strategy that builds on itself is an important component of lifecycle campaigns and streamlines retargeting efforts. Experiments are a way to future-proof the marketing organization, and pushes the team to try new ideas and to take calculated risks. Quote:  “It's probably more like 50 percent of our budget is for experiments this year. I really think about that as an investment in future-proofing our marketing organization. And I want to make sure that the team doesn't get super comfortable in what they're doing. So, I think that innovation really helps push them outside of their comfort zones. But I think we need to be testing new ideas. We need to be taking the, I'll say, calculated risks. We don't want to be throwing money away, but we need to learn what works and what doesn't. And, you know, one of the things that I'm trying to bring to the team is a sense of, we're going to celebrate successes and failures because those failures provide as much learning as the successes, if not more. And so we are very focused on fail fast, learn fast, try more. And, again, still fewer things better, but try new things that we haven't had a lot of experience with in the past.” Episode Timestamps:*(02:27) The Trust Tree: Lifecycle campaigns and understanding customer behavior*(12:11) The Playbook: Relevant content at the top of the funnel*(33:43 ) The Dust Up: Competitors that advertise on your key terms *(35:35) Quick Hits: Emily's Quick HitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for pipeline pros.

Twenty-seven years ago, while in his late twenties, Mark Partin arrived inside the C-suite largely unprepared for the flood of challenges that would quickly breach his desk. Or so Partin tells us as he recounts the circumstances surrounding the first of five CFO appointments that have thus far punctuated his finance leadership career.“I can and do love to suffer,” Partin comments, describing the experience as being “over my head” and demanding him to “level up,” or constantly “reach to the next level” to succeed.For Partin, who had been named CFO of a publicly traded company despite his young age and lack of prior CFO experience, success in the role can be attributed to his unique partnership with the CEO. “He allowed me to have that role and the Board did because he was to be my mentor, and he would help me along the way,” explains Partin. Still, there's no question the CEO got something valuable in return, given Partin's “level up” mindset and his willingness to work harder than anyone else.This first CFO role cemented Partin's belief that the CEO–CFO partnership is the most critical relationship in any company. This CEO, whom Partin describes as a “driver,” was dependent on Partin's success, reinforcing how essential trust and collaboration are in shaping any firm's future. This experience influenced Partin's leadership approach in the four CFO appointments that followed, in which he continued to rely on many important and purposeful strategic partnerships.Now, after nearly a decade as CFO of BlackLine, Partin tells us that he still believes that "leveling up" and fostering strong CEO relationships have been key drivers of whatever his success may continue to be, guiding his strategic mindset and pragmatic leadership to this day.

It might be better to ask Canada Taylor what she doesn't do in the realm of suicide prevention, postvention, and grief support rather than what she does because she seems to do just about everything and anything. This is part two of our conversation with her, so if you missed the first, Ep. 297: Honoring A Great Love, be sure to listen. In this episode, we talk about the holistic  approach she takes to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. An approach that focuses on building a world worth living in. A world where youth - and people of any age - have their basic needs met and can access safety, community, and true belonging.  We discuss: Some of the professional roles Canada holds What is different for grief professionals and educators when the topic of suicide arises The changing landscape of suicide prevention & postvention How systems and institutions can create barriers to more humane and effective interventions What we still don't know when it comes to suicide How stigma, shame, and isolation contribute to suicide - and the harm they cause for those left behind Risk factors for youth suicide, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth Protective factors like belonging, safety, and community Why cultural & community specific prevention & intervention strategies are necessary What the headlines get wrong about youth suicide The pockets of hope Canada's come across in the field Since 2005 Canada Taylor has worked in behavioral health care serving youth and adults, with a focus in deathcare and helping families navigate grief, loss, and trauma amidst crisis. Relational, restorative, and transformative approaches are key underpinnings to Canada's holistic, integrative philosophy to creating change and healing for all. Currently she is the Suicide Prevention Coordinator and Postvention Response Lead for the Multnomah County Health Department. Canada was honored with the Trillium Health Mental Health Hero award in 2021 and Multnomah County's Committee Choice Award in 2024 for her work in grief and suicide prevention. Grounding spaces in humor, authenticity, and vulnerability are essential to Canada's professional and personal life, and especially her work in suicide prevention.    Organizations we reference: School Crisis Recovery & Renewal Network (SCRR) SAMSHA Black Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition National Suicide Prevention Month **If you are someone you know is struggling, please reach out** Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 Trans Lifeline: 877.565.8860 YouthLine: 877.968.8491 BlackLine: 800.604.5841 LGBTQ National Hotline: 888.843.4564 The Trevor Project: 866.488.7386

Wie heißt es so schön? Auf ein Neues. Gemeint ist damit die fünfte Generation des Hyundai Santa Fe, die in diesen Tagen zu den Händlern und auf unsere Straßen rollt. Und dies mit einem radikal neuen Design, mit verlängertem Radstand, einem Maximum an Platz und Flexibilität im Innenraum sowie kraftvollen und ausgereiften elektrifizierten Antrieben. Darum geht es diesmal!Es ist fast ein Vierteljahrhundert her. Im Jahr 2000 stellte Hyundai die erste von bisher vier Generationen des Santa Fe vor, seit dieser Zeit wurden fast 84.000 Exemplare verkauft. Nun rollt die fünfte Generation vor und sie ist größer, schöner und besser. Was auf Anhieb auffällt ist, dass der Wagen trotz seiner unübersehbaren Größe ausgesprochen gefällig ist und nicht zu wuchtig wirkt. Hier haben die Designer ganze Arbeit geleistet. Diese fünfte Modellgeneration hat ein radikal neues und markantes Design.Power und Drive!    Hat man sich als potentieller Käufer grundsätzlich zum Kauf eines neuen Hyundai Santa Fe entschlossen, sind noch einige weitere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Soll es ein Hybrid oder ein Plug-in-Hybrid sein? Front- oder Allradantrieb? Und schließlich ist auch die Frage der Ausstattungslinie zu entscheiden.  Wenn es ein Fronttriebler sein soll, bleibt nur der Hybrid, der Allradantrieb kostet bei Bedarf 2.100,00 EUR Aufpreis. Der Plug-in-Hybrid kommt automatisch mit Allradantrieb. Apropos automatisch: Alle Santa Fe Varianten sind mit Sechs-Gang-Automatikgetrieben ausgestattet!  Wer sich für den normalen Hybrid entscheidet, ist mit 158 kW (215 PS) unterwegs, beim Plug-in-Hybrid sind es 186 kW (253 PS). In der Höchstgeschwindigkeit sind beide mit 180 km/h gleich schnell, die Beschleunigungswerte hin zu Tempo 100 liegen zwischen 9,3 und 9,8 Sekunden, das passt beides. Die Kosten!Ich möchte Sie jetzt nicht mit zu vielen Zahlen überschütten, die unterschiedlichen Antriebe und Ausstattungen führen - ohne Extras – zu 16 verschiedenen Einzelpreisen, daher hier nur die Preisspanne. Sie beginnt bei 56.700,00 EUR für den frontgetriebenen Fünfsitzer mit 158 kW (215 PS) in der Prime-Ausführung, sie endet bei  68.150,00 EUR für den siebensitzigen, allradgetriebenen Plug-in-Hybrid als Blackline  mit 86 kW (253 PS). Die Ausstattung lässt dann eigentlich keine Wünsche mehr offen, als Optionen sehe ich nur übliche Dinge wie Lackierungen oder auch ein Glas-Schiebedach für Leute, denen die Klimatisierung – warum auch immer - nicht ausreicht. Zwei spezielle Pakete für insgesamt 1.700 EUR sind zudem im Blackline serienmäßig enthalten.  Was Ihnen so wie mir mit Sicherheit im Innenraum sofort auffallen wird, sind zwei 12,3 Zoll große Curved Displays, die auf Anhieb eine hohe Wertigkeit ausstrahlen. So, wie der komplette Wagen dies tut!         Alle Fotos: © Hyundai Motor Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

BlackLine, Inc., Q3 2023 Earnings Call, Nov 02, 2023

How to Engage a Customer with an Influential Analogy with Jennifer Ryan of BlackLine; Attention. That is the currency in today's world. And when it comes to the arena of sales, if we aren't able to get somebody's attention and keep it… Then we can't earn the opportunity to become their trusted guide. So, what's one way to grab somebody's attention in less than 10 seconds? An influential analogy. When done correctly, it sparks intrigue and gives you the chance to share your message or story. And when it comes to using analogies to explain what you do and break down complex subjects, Jennifer Ryan of Blackline is a pro! In this week's episode, Jennifer talks to us about how to construct and use analogies to captivate, inspire and motivate prospects to take action Are you ready? Hit play! WHAT WE DISCUSS: [1:17] - Who is Jennifer Ryan?

FenceFam I'm bringing the HEAT today! Mr. Fence Academy updates. ✅ Academy Retreat updates ✅ US HAMMER✅ Brad Jones

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO Podcast. I'm Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we're here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Jennifer Ryan at Blackline join us. Jennifer, I’d love for you to introduce yourself, your role, and your organization to our audience. Jennifer Ryan: Absolutely. My name is Jennifer Ryan. I’m the director of global sales enablement here at Blackline. I went the long way around to find my way to enablement. When I was a solutions consultant, I was a customer success manager. I’ve done IT support, I’ve done customer training. I’ve done all of these things, and my senior VP of sales came up to me and he says, you keep circling the barrel, but until you understand sales, you can’t understand business, so you have two choices. You can go into sales enablement, or you can go into sales. I chose sales enablement. SS: I love that. Now, you also describe yourself as someone who specializes in navigating fear and leaning into trying new things, as you just alluded to in your introduction with all of the various experiences that you’ve had throughout your career journey. How have you applied this mindset now to your role in enablement? JR: When we think about enablement, the whole goal, whether we’re selling widgets or we’re selling software, we are asking people to change. When we ask others to change, that means that there’s something in us that has to change. As human beings, we are emotionally driven. Change is very difficult for us. It’s always steeped in the fear of the unknown. I use this idea behind being experimental, being okay with trying something, and failing because the magic is in the quote-unquote failure. The idea that failure is negativity is horrible, it’s where all of the magic comes from. Think about science. How many things were discovered by accident because someone just tried something and what was a failure for one thing became something else? I apply this mindset to the folks in enablement that while you might be afraid to try something new, that while you might be resistant, there is absolutely nothing that you should be afraid of and just trying. SS: I love that mindset. Now, that all being said, the sales environment has undergone a lot of change in the last few years, and change can cause fear for some folks. What are some of the common challenges that can arise from giving into fear? JR: What I see most often that comes out of that fear mindset, and if we even think about all of the information that’s come out of Gartner and this idea behind buyer enablement, this idea that it’s not so much about us as the salespeople, but more about what the buyer knows about themselves. There’s a lot of fear of loss of control in the sales cycle. There’s this idea that historically we’ve gone in discovery and we’ve peppered questions and now it’s, how do we coach a buyer into answering those questions for themselves that we lead them instead of tell them? That’s scary because you don’t know what’s coming. You have to be agile and you have to use your active listening skills. Those are not muscles that we always flex. Some are very good at it, but others struggle. When we struggle and then there’s the looming quota, those are all very fear-inducing instances in sales. SS: I love that. What are some of your best practices to help sellers overcome fear though, through enablement efforts? JR: My favorite practice to alleviate fear is humor. When you’re laughing, our bodies release serotonin, and dopamine in our brains. It’s almost like we’re drug addicts if you will. I don’t mean to use that term loosely, but we are subject to that release in our brains, and when we associate that with something new, something that we’ve learned, we have a Pavlovian response to learning. With laughter, you release defenses. You get people to just relax. They lower their shoulders, their facial muscles release, and they’re with you. When people are with you and they feel like you are meeting them where they are, the fear goes away because you’re not lording over them. I use humor more than anything else in enablement and it has served me well for the many years I’ve been doing it. SS: I think you’re spot on. Humor does alleviate a lot of that held in tension. Beyond that, the learning process can play a big role, I think, as well in helping sellers navigate fear because then it is no longer the unknown. It also helps to build a lot of confidence amongst your sales teams. I know one of your areas of expertise is in multimedia learning. How can a multimedia approach to learning help sellers develop confidence? JR: I don’t know if you’ve ever read the books by Don Norman, and if you haven’t, do yourself a favor, they’re phenomenal, but Don talks about how cognitive learning by itself, that people only absorb so much information. If we couple new learning with an emotional response, if we associate emotion with it, then not only are people Viscerally responding to what’s happening, but they are also engaging a part of their brain that creates a reflective approach in the future. That means that they can recall that learning again in the future. When you think about multimedia learning, I always lean into it. I’m going to age myself now, but when I was a kid, we had Schoolhouse Rock. At my age, I can still recite the preamble to the Declaration of Independence because I know it in a song. If you think about when someone tells you something new, and then you also see a picture of it. These things combined create an environment for learning. We’re engaging people at different places instead of just a singular point of bringing learning to new people in whatever form that takes. My other favorite is storytelling. If I tell you a silly story with a point that makes a correlation between something that you don’t know, that correlation makes the learning. SS: I love how you’re able to draw that correlation for your learners. If we can double-click into this a little bit, what are some of the key components of an effective multimedia learning experience? JR: One of my favorite things to look at is called sensory motor synchronization. There’s been a lot of research done on it, but basically, the research started in babies. If we can do something that aligns with the beat of a baby’s heart, or the beat of the intake and outtake of their breath, then we align to the very basics of these babies as humans. It also works with folks who are further in the ending stages of their life. I spent the early part of my career studying music therapy. I used to work in an Alzheimer’s unit and that’s where I started to align with that idea of the power of music, the power of the beat, and how we can reach people that the brain has literally made them unreachable for us. One of the key components that I use is helping people align learning with that beat. Think about when you’re looking at a PowerPoint and someone has multiple lines and if you put a little music behind it and it comes out synchronized to that beat, that effect draws people’s attention, people’s attention and they’re like, oh, I loved that part. Look at how that exactly went with that beat. Things like that are my favorite things to do in training. I’ll put up a picture that elicits that awe factor, like a picture of a kitten, and I’ll ask them, how does this make you feel? People will respond, oh, it’s just so sweet, or oh, look at that kitten. Then behind it, I’ll play the Jaws theme. Now, all of a sudden, this sweet little kitten’s eyes look like it’s coming for me! That idea that we can change the feeling, we can change the scenario of something by combining pictures with stories, and with music, we can control how people come to the table and how they’re going to ingest what we have to offer for them. SS: That was quite the visualization, I have to say. Last question for you, Jennifer. What is one thing that you’re planning to try in your enablement programs this year? What is one thing that you’d recommend our audience try in their programs that maybe they haven’t tried before? JR: This year we are actually rolling out what we’re calling Blackline TV. What we found is that our learners were giving us a lot of feedback that, we get too much email, and our LMS sends out email notifications. Our learning development team from HR sends out emails. We send out email announcements. There are emails about new meetings that are coming. We had to find a different way to reach people in a way that they would again be open to learning something new. Blackline TV gives us this idea, think about the very best movie trailer you’ve ever seen. As soon as it’s done, you think, where’s my $20, I can’t wait to see that movie. Blackline TV is a snippet of different parts of the business. We didn’t just limit it to enablement functions, but we figured that this collaboration, this learning opportunity around the entire business would create not only collaboration between different teams but also reinforces that we are one company as a whole, not separate groups that happen to be part of the same quote unquote company family. That is our big one this year is BlacklineTV. I would really recommend finding something that is off the beaten path. Something that people haven’t seen before. The beautiful part about this experimental mindset is that just try it. What’s the worst that could happen? Did it fall apart? Okay, well then you try something else. Try quickly, fail quickly, and iterate quickly. SS: I love that advice. Thank you so much, Jennifer, for joining us today. I learned a lot. JR: Absolutely. My pleasure. SS: To our audience, thanks for listening. For more insights, tips, and expertise from sales enablement leaders, visit salesenablement.pro. If there's something you'd like to share or a topic you'd like to learn more about, please let us know. We'd love to hear from you.

It might be too early in the Impostrix Podcast journey to deviate from the plan, but it's happening anyway, and in this episode we are talking mental health. Specifically,  Whitney recounts her recent experience with perfectionism, anxiety, and self-care. And a word of warning, Dr. Google is not our friend. Recalling  our conversation in Episode 3 on imposter syndrome and identifying Dr. Valerie Young's five types of imposter syndrome, Whitney finds herself living squarely within "perfectionist" one day, and "super human" the next. A reality experienced by many, and especially by Black women, and a reality that in this case led Whitney to experience persistent physical manifestations of underlying mental stress and anxiety. In hindsight, Whitney sees how her anxiety spiral developed and shares perspective on red flags that were present for her.Grateful for the strong community of support that she has built around her, Whitney called on all of her resources to identify what she was experiencing, to calm her anxieties, and to establish a short term plan of self-care moving forward. Whitney shares how through this experience, she has a better understanding of how anxiety shows up for her and what physical signs of anxiety she experiences. She also walks listeners through her process of exploring and identifying sustainable self-care rituals to alleviate stress and care for her mental wellbeing. It is so important that we, Black and Brown folks, protect their energy. And this means caring for their mental wellbeing, no matter what. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental illness, please know that you are not alone, nor are you broken, cursed, or being punished.
