    Your Reputation Is More Important Than Revenge: How to Respond When People Lie, Gossip, or Misrepresent You

    In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I share one of the most powerful lessons my elders ever taught me: Your reputation is more important than revenge. For many years, I only understood this phrase intellectually. But about 15 years ago, I had an experience that forced me to understand this phrase on an emotional and spiritual level. Because around that time, someone I trusted deeply began spreading falsehoods about me. Not only did I feel betrayed, but the slander affected my business, my health, and my reputation. And in moments like that, the desire to defend yourself—or even seek revenge—can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I talk honestly about those emotions and why they are completely normal when someone lies about you, misrepresents your work, spreads gossip, or betrays your trust. I also share a framework I developed called The Five A’s of Protecting Your Reputation, which has helped me navigate difficult moments with clarity and integrity: • Acknowledge the wound • Assess the impact • Arrange your response • Activate your plan • Continue healing and stay open This episode was a hard one, and is for anyone who has ever felt misrepresented, betrayed, or misunderstood. It's also for anyone who needs ideas on ways to respond that protect both their character and peace. Remember: Revenge may feel satisfying in the moment, but when you damage your reputation, the effects can last a lifetime. The good news is that when your reputation is rooted in integrity, it will speak for you in places where you may not have access.

    Beyond Strength: Why the Softness of Black Women Must Be Witnessed

    In this episode, I explore a truth we don’t talk about enough: Black women are praised for their strength but rarely witnessed in their softness. And I believe that softness is one of the most sacred parts of our humanity. To be clear: Softness is not weakness. It is tenderness without armor. It is empathy without overextension. It is rest without apology. It is laughter and levity. In this conversation, I share five reasons why witnessing softness matters emotionally, spiritually, physically, and professionally. This episode is an invitation to: • Release survival mode • Reclaim personhood beyond performance • Create environments where growth happens through safety, not pressure • Remember that we are worthy without producing.

    Do You See Us? The Healing Power of Witnessing Black Women

    In this episode, I explore the heightened importance of witnessing Black women—especially now. As we enter Black History Month, Black women are navigating disproportionate career disruption, increased responsibility, emotional fatigue, and systemic invisibility. Yet we are still expected to perform at peak strength without protection and to maintain resilience without rest. In this conversation, I unpack five critical ways Black women need to be witnessed: strength, success, struggle, sadness, and shifts. I share why strength without care becomes exploitation, why unwitnessed success offers no protection, why unacknowledged struggle leads to burnout, why buried sadness hardens the spirit, and why healing shifts can threaten systems that benefit from our silence. The episode promises to be both inspirational and instructional—offering language for experiences many Black women live but rarely get to name. Whether you are navigating leadership, career change, or personal reinvention, this conversation invites you to see more clearly, respond more humanely, and witness more courageously. Join us in this crucial dialogue as we commit to seeing, celebrating, and nurturing each other on our journeys toward wholeness, freedom, and joy. And as always, if the episode resonates, please share, leave a review, and subscribe. #DecidingToSoar #WitnessingBlackWomen #Empowerment #BlackHistoryMonth #Strength #Success #Struggles #Sadness #Community #Healing #Authenticity #Sisterhood #MentalHealth #Recognition #CelebrateBlackWomen #Support #Nurture #Resilience #Visibility #Acknowledgment #WomenSupportingWomen #EmotionalWellness #CollectiveHealing #SelfWorth #PersonalGrowth #BlackWomenMatter #WorkplaceEquity #TrueWitnessing #TogetherWeRise #Blessings Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?

In this episode, I share: what it truly means to be witnessed (inside and outside spiritual spaces)why being witnessed is needed in the workplaceand the five dimensions of witnessing that shape leadership, confidence, and opportunityThis episode is an invitation to reflect on where you’ve been witnessed—and where you haven’t—and what becomes possible when people are truly seen, valued, and affirmed. ✨ If this message resonates, please consider subscribing for more conversations at the intersection of leadership, truth, and wholeness.

    What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth: How Forks Almost Derailed My Future

    In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I begin a new series titled What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth. In this 15-minute episode, I share a personal story from the early days of my corporate career, when a formal business dinner revealed deep feelings of insecurity and a sense of not belonging. What helped me move forward was not corporate training or mentorship, but the wisdom and support of elders in my church community who took the time to support me in practical, meaningful ways. In this episode, I reflect on four lessons they taught me that continue to guide my life and work: Why I learned that I deserve supportHow discernment protects vulnerabilityThe importance of understanding how you developWhy declaring the impact of others mattersThis conversation is for anyone navigating new professional spaces, leadership roles, or seasons of growth where confidence feels fragile and hope is waning. 🎧 If this episode resonates, please share it and leave a review.

    Trust Your Wings, Not The Branch

    In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I explore the wisdom of the proverb “Trust your wings, not the branch.” In a year marked by job uncertainty, burnout, and shifting workplace expectations, we must remember and reclaim our power to thrive. Together, let's unpack the difference between the branches we were conditioned to trust—jobs, titles, salaries, policies, and corporate structures—and the wings within us that actually sustain us. Your wings are your resilience, intuition, creativity, emotional intelligence, ancestral wisdom, and courage. They are the gifts that help you rise, adapt, and rebuild when life becomes uncertain. If you are feeling stretched, overlooked, overwhelmed, or ready for a new beginning, this episode will remind you that your wings are strong enough to carry you, even when the branches around you shake or bend. If this message resonates, please like, share, and leave a review so others can find the encouragement they need. #DecidingToSoar #TrustYourWings #LeadershipHealing #CareerTransitions #EmotionalResilience #SelfTrust #WomenInLeadership #PurposeDrivenLife #MindsetShift #SharRonJamison #DaretoSoarHigher #Self-awarness #Growth Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?

    Holy Rebellion: When Restlessness Becomes Revelation

    Have you ever felt that quiet unease — that inner stirring that won’t let you stay where you are? In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I explore what I call holy restlessness — that divine disruption that comes before transformation. So many of you reached out after my last episode on rupture, asking, “What causes the breaking? How does it begin?” This is my heartfelt attempt to answer those questions — as I understand them in this season of my own becoming. I’ll share how restlessness always comes before rupture — how that sacred unease is really grace in motion, gently opening us from within and urging us to release what no longer fits. Together, we’ll walk through The 5 R’s of Holy Rebellion — Restlessness, Reckoning, Rupture, Repair, and Rest — a soulful journey from discomfort to discovery, from friction to freedom. Whether you’re navigating change in your career, relationships, or faith, this conversation will remind you that restlessness isn’t a sign of failure — it’s a sign of becoming. 💫 Tune in if you’re ready to: Transform restlessness into revelationUnderstand the sacred rhythms of growth and healingRebuild with purpose, peace, and powerFind rest — not as retreat, but as restorationBecause sometimes the shaking isn’t punishment — it’s preparation. 🎧 Listen now to discover how holy rebellion can help you move from disruption to divine direction. #DecidingToSoar #LivingLifeYourOwnWay #SharronJamison #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #HolyRestlessness #Transformation #CollectiveGrowth #FiveRs #Restlessness #Reckoning #Rupture #Rebirth #Revolution #SelfReflection #Authenticity #ImposterSyndrome #GrowthJourney #Change #LimitlessPotential #Neuroscience #MindsetShift #PositiveThinking #InspirationalAffirmations #CommunitySupport #EmbraceChange #JourneyTogether #SelfAwareness #MeaningfulConnections Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?
