In todayâs episode, Iâm breaking down why itâs so damned hard for us to prioritize rest as leaders, specifically.
But even better, Iâm also providing real life examples from a bunch of my clients to show how the principles weâve talked about this season have led them to be even more effective leaders.
Why?
Because representation fucking matters.
So I want to make sure you see that you arenât the first to prioritize your thriving as a leader.
Other leaders of color, just like you, are doing this work â without sacrificing success, financial stability, etc.
And not only are they thriving, but the people around them are thriving, too.

If thereâs one thing weâve all learned as folks of color in white dominated societies, itâs this:
We are only worthy of being respected and lauded if weâre exceptional.
In this episode, Iâm doing a deep dive on exceptionalism and how it impacts rest for leaders of color.
Iâll also be breaking down:
how to evaluate if you REALLY care about being exceptional, or if society just taught you to care
practices to help you feel safe even when youâre not âexceptionalâ
how to start choosing your rest over your work

Hereâs something we donât talk about enough in regards to rest:
Sometimes, youâre not exhausted because youâre working long hours, or spending a ton of time on something.
Youâre exhausted because the thing that youâre doing, while short-lived, is emotionally draining.
In this episode, we talk about:
đđżthe surprising reason so many folks are burnt out
đđża small practice that helped her stop feeling guilty/shameful for not doing enough
đđżhow she stopped feeling shame when she didnât have capacity for everything they âshouldâ do
đđżthe truth about emotional labor and how much it impacts you as a BIPOC leader
đđżhow to do more of what you WANT to do instead of what you SHOULD DO

Today we're talking about the B word... Not that one! The other one, BOUNDARIES.
Boundaries are really fucking hard for almost all of us (myself included, sometimes!) because we live in a society where having personal boundaries is thought of as being selfish.
In todayâs episode of the podcast, I break down why:
đđżworking on your ability to create & uphold boundaries is essential to rest
đđżyou have to learn how to create & uphold boundaries with yourself
đđżyou have to work on building your confidence to be better with boundaries
I also go into a LOT of the âhowâ in this episode.
I share:
đđżmy tried and true tool for helping clients get clear on what they ACTUALLY have capacity for
đđż a trick to help you feel confident that youâve done âenoughâ and deserve to enforce your boundaries
đđżmindset shifts to help you navigate when folks push back against your boundaries
Thereâs 100% something even the most boundaried person in the world could take away from todayâs episode.

When Jaya and I started working together, they had been burnt out since their teens.
(You read that right, their TEENS)
Jaya leads a department for tech-driven programming a social justice nonprofit. Previously, they have run marketing and advertising campaigns at a number of startups and nonprofits over six years.
And even though they had just had their most successful career yetâŠ
âŠinternally, they were hitting a breaking point.
They still felt like they werenât enough. They couldnât celebrate themselves. They were working seven days a week for months on end.And their burnout had become physical, leaving them with chronic headaches and stomach issues.
Sounds pretty dire, right? It was.
Jaya now considers themselves recovered from burnout â after over a decade of pain.
They are no longer working twice as hard â matter of fact, theyâre working way less. while still delivering excellent results at work.
Listen in to find out how Jaya did it!

No matter what your racial or ethnic background is, if you grew up in a white-dominated environment, your parents probably told you some version of this:
âWe have to work twice as hard to get half as much as white folks.â
In this episode, called, âStop Working Twice As Hardâ, Iâll be breaking down:
đĄwhen it IS true that we have to work twice as hard as folks of color
đĄwhy working twice as hard stops working sometimes
đĄsimple ways you can cut down the work you do so that youâre no longer working twice as hard and burning yourself out
âŠand so much more.
This episode will have some hard truths (and some exciting perspective shifts!), but if you want to have more rest without sacrificing success, this is an episode you have to hear.Connect with Gieselle:

When I met my client Cassandra, she was an entrepreneur and the leader of a robust team of employees and contractors.
Business was great⊠but the personal was, well, not.
She struggled to take time off, or enjoy her free time, because she still felt entirely integral to her teamâs execution & success.
These days Cassandra is literally a whole new leader:
sheâs created new, bold boundaries with her team & clients
she takes so much time off to travel, Iâm jealous (and thatâs saying a lot!)
she delegates ruthlessly
she has a robust personal life that is creative, exciting, and thrilling
she asks for what she needs, when she needs it â without internal drama
sheâs unafraid of difficult conversations (even if they might impact her bottom line)
Listen in to find out how she did it and how she continues to thrive.

đđżdo we really need to work twice as hard as folks of color?
đđżfeeling safe doing less & creating boundaries as a leader of color who is genuinely judged differently
đđżprioritizing yourself & your needs without shirking your responsibilities as a good leader
đđżdecoupling your identity with your work and with being âexceptionalâ
and so much more, so press play and dive in!

As folks of color, itâs not uncommon for us to start our businesses because we hit (racist) walls in the corporate world.
The only problem?
Most of the timeâŠwe start our businesses being that same shitty boss we tried to escape.
In todayâs episode, Iâll be sharing the ultimate key to being loud, being real, and being seen:
Doing it your own damn way.
(Seriously, donât even do mine!)
This is why, when I recorded todayâs episode of the Revolutionary Rising Podcast, I gave it a bold name:
The Most Important Episode
Because the truth is, nothing else Iâve told you throughout this season is going to matter if youâre still accidentally implementing it through this white supremacist, patriarchal lens.
Iâll also be talking about how you:
Donât have to hustle to be loud, real, and be seen Can be super private (or shy!) and still be fully expressed Can start implementing YOUR unique way of being loud, real, and seenConnect with Gieselle:

âŠbecause, you guessed it â she felt like her name was âtoo difficult.â
But lately, sheâs been reclaiming her voiceâŠ
âŠand as sheâs reclaimed her voice, sheâs reclaimed her name.
During this episode, we talked about so much, like:
Junielleâs experience growing up as one of the few Black kids in her Canadian town why Junielle had to first feel âworthyâ and âenoughâ to reclaim her name how getting a full-time job was the best decision Junielle has ever made for her business how Junielle intentionally curates more joy in her day to day, even when she hasnât met all her âgoalsâI love Junielle so much â and if you love me, I think youâll adore this episode with her, too.

As a result of âcancel culture,â you might feel pretty damned unsafe showing up boldly in these streets, because you canât afford to say the wrong thing and have it impact your finances.
I used to be terrified that when I spoke up as an entrepreneur and leader, Iâd be canceled or called out, too.
But Iâm over that drama now.
In this episode, Iâm talking about:
why being called out can actually be a GOOD thing the #1 thing thatâll help you give zero fucks about getting called out how it might be a good idea to care less about harming people (I know, spicy!) what to do if you get called out

When Eleanor and I met, Eleanor was running a profitable, successful financial consulting business and tbh, she was miserable.
She was still working with (white dude) clients she hatedâŠ
âŠworking all hours of the day and nightâŠ
âŠand was putting her passion projects to the side for what was more urgent and important.
Today, her business couldnât look any more different, and itâs safe to say that she has fully reclaimed it.
Now, she integrated her passions INTO her business (she does financial coaching for women of color, too!)
In this episode, Eleanor and I talk about:
How our work together supported her in reclaiming her business to go from being a burden to something that she loved. Her history as a first gen Filipino woman, wife, and mother - and how it was impacting her ability to exist in the world the way she wanted How she makes change in her business in sustainable, trauma-informed ways

She recently transitioned her career from primarily working with early-stage VC-funded startups to coaching individuals. Her passion lies in helping women connect with themselves and their ancestors to understand their inherent beauty and unique gifts. She believes that love, connection, and spiritual partnering are the ways that she can support women through this journey along with her financial experience.
