"Downshifting your ambitions doesn’t necessarily mean you are throwing away your past or becoming a slacker. It may actually mean that you’ve finally recognized what it takes for achievement and ambition to be sustainable." - Dorie Clark
What does it mean to always be ready?
Today I talk about how to embrace not being ready. At the start of every new year, it can be all too easy to bog ourselves down with newly formed goals and deadlines, and plans. It can be much harder to purposefully slow down and simplify, but maybe that is just what we need right now. Maybe we don't need to always be ready.
"Maybe to start the new year, we don't need another goal or another list." - Angela Chee
In today's show, I talk about giving ourselves permission to slow down and times when the power of The Only can be both a blessing and a burden. I share how I discovered my strong suit can also be my weakness and how we can all discover what doesn't serve us and let it go.
"Maybe we don't need more. Maybe we need different." - Angela Chee
Show Notes: How to embrace not being ready What does it mean to always be ready How to give yourself permission to slow down What does real personal growth look like Is it okay to not always be ready When can the power of The Only be a weakness"The true power of the only is not always doing it alone."- Angela Chee

"Don't let anyone take away your voice. What you have to say is important." - Charity Elder
Where does our strength come from and how can we cultivate our strengths?
Today’s guest Charity Elder is an award-winning journalist and media executive with more than 20 years of experience working in and leading broadcast and digital newsrooms. She is also the author of the new book Power: The Rise of Black Women in America.
In 2020, Charity was a senior adviser to the Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign, strategizing ways to engage the Black community. She was also profiled for NYC Media’s Vanguard: Women in Media, and in 2016 she was on Folio magazine’s list of top women in media.
"You won't be able to grow and change as an individual without having a central knowledge of who you are." - Charity Elder
In this episode, Charity shares how she and other Black women rise to the challenge of building communities and creating lives of meaning and joy. She also talks about where her self-confidence comes from and why she believes that it's the best time in history to be a Black woman in America.
Listen in as Charity shares her experience as a leader in boardrooms and newsrooms. She says that it's important to use your voice even when it diverges from those around you because your voice and ideas are important.
"When someone is talking over you or diminishing you in some way, you stop them in that moment, calmly and clearly." - Charity Elder
Show Notes: Where do Black women get their strength What is the story of Black women in America Is the average income for Black women rising Ways that Black women benefit from their communities Do the stories we tell about ourselves influence our behavior Is there value in helping others What change can one individual make"What I have to say matters, whether anyone else gets it or not." - Charity Elder
3 Pieces of Advice or Action Steps: Accept who you are. Celebrate who you are. Move with purpose and passion toward your goals."My mom did such a great job instilling the uniqueness of who I am. It's radical for a Black woman to teach her Black daughter that she is special and unique when laws used to say that we were not fully human." - Charity Elder

"There is power in our stories; power in sharing them, that’s how it starts." - Angela Chee
How can a spark inside someone else lead to a spark inside you that can light a fire within us all?
This episode is about what we can all do to make the future. Today I share some highlights from the 2022 Makers Conference that I recently attended in Dana Point, California. The event featured powerful speeches and conversations from many iconic trailblazing women, like Gloria Steinem, Jessica Alba, Constance Wu, and more. They reminded me of the importance of breaking down the barriers inside of us to step up more fully into our power of The Only.
"There is no one way to make the future." - Angela Chee
In this episode, I talk about what it means to make the future and what that can look like for each of us. I also share the important reminder that you have an impact and it’s up to you to decide for yourself what that looks like and what action you can take to get there.

"It's time to listen to yourself. It's time to take action. And it's time to move forward with whatever you've been wanting to create." - Angela Chee
What action can you take now to create change for yourself, your family, or your community?
Today's podcast was inspired by leaders I met at a Meta Boost Small Business event. I kicked off the morning meeting with Eric Toda, Meta's Global Head of Social Marketing and Head of Meta Prosper -- a program to support and empower the Asian and Pacific Islander community.
In this episode, I share the inspiring stories and insights of leaders making positive changes in their communities. Many had similar stories about being the only, and carving their own path vs following a formula.
"It is time to not just talk about what you want to happen, or what you think should happen, or to create scenarios. It's time to listen to yourself and take action." - Angela Chee
In this episode, I talk about how now is the time to move forward with the positive change that you're being called to put out into the world. Listen in for an inspirational boost.
"There are so many ideas, so many things as a small business, as an entrepreneur, as an individual that we can do to create change, however big or small." - Angela Chee

"Looking back allows us to move forward but in our own time." - Angela Chee
Why would we want to go backwards into the past?
Today I explain why, in order to move forward into a future where we own our power, we need to excavate our past. I unpack why we too often feel like we need to change something about ourselves to fit the mold of the culture we work in. I talk about the myths surrounding executive presence and what it really looks like in the workplace. I also offer up some mindset shifts to set you on the path to truly showing up in your power.
"The past is the past, but I believe there are lessons to be learned." - Angela Chee
In today's show, we talk about how to shift your mindset from fear to power and why we need to look back in order to look ahead.
"Let go of the mindset that there is something to fix." - Angela Chee

"Sunshine comes after the rain, right? But what if the key to our peace, success and true fulfillment isn't waiting for the pain to pass (the rain) to feel joy (sunshine), but our ability to navigate both -- and at the same time?" - Angela Chee
How do we feel it all when we are feeling so much?
I have been thinking a lot about the power of joy and pain, so today, I talk about ways to manage all of the emotions you have been juggling since the start of the pandemic. The world is moving forward, so how do we continue to move forward and thrive? I talk about the ability of all of us to feel both joy and pain simultaneously and the benefits of allowing our pain to be expressed and fully experienced. I also talk about where we store our pain and how we can validate that pain along our journey towards healing.
"I know I’m not alone. My friends, my clients, we’re all just holding it together, fluctuating between life’s joyous milestones and, at times, tragic pain and everywhere in between -- and to cope some of us may just stay somewhere in the middle because we don’t know how to feel." - Angela Chee
In today's show, we talk about how to cultivate and celebrate your joy and why it is important that you fully feel your pain in order to release it.
"That is the next level of my Power of The Only evolution: to feel it all to heal it all and to move on." - Angela Chee
Show Notes: What is the benefit of pain Where do we store our emotions Using pain as a clue Juggling the joy and pain of the pandemic Validating your pain Figuring out what makes you happy"What brings you joy? Do more of that." - Angela Chee

"Whatever you are working on, plant the seeds." - Angela Chee
How can the power of vision help us discover and amplify our gifts?
I recently returned from my first visit to the National Speakers Association Conference, so today I want to share the takeaways of my trip and highlight the power of vision that exists within each of us. While I have enjoyed my time working remotely during the last few years, there are also perks to working in person that I realized I have been missing. It was a joy to connect with others in my industry and to reminisce on the moment in my childhood when the first seeds were planted in my mind to become a member of the NSA.
"Envision what is possible and know that you already have everything that you need." - Angela Chee
In today's show, we talk about why "planting seeds" matters and how the power of vision helped me to uncover my passion.
"Speaking can be a lonely business." - Angela Chee
