S4E17 - Why I Started A Blog
Serve It & Own It: A Leadership Lifestyle podcast
The blog is here! I’m so grateful that I get to create yet another resource empowering women to advance their corporate careers. When women are winning financially, our communities are winning. Our communities are run by women that are the backbones of their households. So if we are bringing in top dollar, so are our families. They then go out in their community and hopefully improve that community tenfold. That’s my ‘why’ in life. And I started this blog because I want another platform to spread this information. Go ahead and check out the blog . Mentioned In The...

info_outlineHR leaders, time for you to be more selfish! By being selfish, I don’t mean being a detriment to others. I mean you need to be more intentional about taking care of yourself, your well-being and your mental health. Being more selfish has made me a much better leader and HR practitioner. Part of that is shifting my mindset. Another part is silencing the imposter syndrome voice that tell me I need to be a people pleaser. A huge part of taking care of myself is having healthy boundaries with my work.
Maintaining practical boundaries has helped me a ton. Here a few I recommend for other HR professionals:
1. End your work day at a specific time and actually stopping work. In hybrid work land, it’s easy to keep working and get things done after 5p. That doesn’t work for me. Stopping work at a decent hour helps me come down from the intensity of work and preserve some of my emotional energy for my partner and loved ones.
2. Scheduling my day with intention, and avoiding filling my calendar with back-to-back meetings every day.
3. Spending time on projects that make you excited. As I tell my clients, I want you to spend time working in your personal mission and passion. As leaders within an organization, we must carve prioritize these passion projects and make them a regular part of our routine.
On this episode, I also share that I’m going house shopping this weekend! Yessssss! I am breaking generational curses and changing the trajectory for me and my offspring. I’m nervous to *Usher voice* sign these papers! But we’re doing it anyways. After you listen to the episode, hit me up on Linkedin and let me know how you are going to be more selfish in your life.
