She's So Lucky

I really do enjoy this podcast before and after the rebrand. Thank you for being honest and vocal about the rebrand and what you were trying to do and being brave enough to actually do it although people expect more of the same from you. Real life conversations and some inspiring ones that aren’t so relatable, but are great to hear bc they are thought provoking! Keep them coming

I’m honestly so shocked to see the bad reviews from the rebrand. Yes, I get it, “lucky” culture can feel kind of trendy and a gimmick. But under the title are encouraging, inspiring, and motivating conversation. In a genre dominated by white men, these are the stories from thriving Black women that I want to hear. In fact, my boyfriend subscribed as a joke but is now a listener because he found the conversations so insightful. So let’s be real—Will I miss Balanced Black Girl? Yes. But does that negate this new chapter? No. Too often we want people like Les to fit our definition of what they should be and, more importantly, what they can provide. Les was honest about the toll the old format had on her mentally and the need for the shift. She has grown and we should too. I admire her ability to acknowledge when something needs to evolve and the courage to take the step. I will be listening and I encourage you to join me!

I normally use podcasts for educational information but wanted to try something else. I searched black women and stumbled on to balanced black girl now she’s so lucky and wow. I am a successful black woman mother and physician but that is hard to be at times. People in my community expect me to know all the answers and people in other communities don’t expect me to know anything. This podcast feels like home. Listening to women who are at the top of their game but yet still figuring out life that are Black?! I do not have a rule book and I can not ask a lot of ppl. But here I can be myself I hear my stories my challenges my struggles and I hear solutions advice and community.

Les is such a great interviewer and these conversations have been encouraging me and challenging me. I am love the shift and I love the conversation, they are impactful, they are challenging in all the right ways that cause you to want to be better, show up better and do better.
