    [Special Invitation] Beyoooond the Vision Board, FREE 7-Day Challenge (Jan. 3 - 9)

    Full transparency, I need this. I need this 7-day challenge and want to take you along with me.  We all know that 2020 has been completely irregular, right? ...but it has come and now about to exit the back door. What 2020 did, however, was reveal some things to me in a very emphatic way. Now, I've been thinking about all of these things many years but THIS year was different. So they questions that I asked myself, I want to ask you now: So after you “write the vision and make it plain” (Habakkuk 2:2) for 2021, what’s next? Will you analyze or re-analyze your core values to make sure you are internally aligned with what you have envisioned for your life? Will you develop a clear consciousness around your next set of action steps that will be required for your vision? Will you display the courage to do that for which you have been called? Will you make the appropriate commitments to bring your vision to fruition? Will you call forth other creative and innovative means to meet or exceed your goals and objectives? Will you surround yourself with the appropriate community of minds to bring forth the creative vision you will need to serve? Will you engage and sustain measures of cultivation to grow your skills and competencies necessary for your vision? If  you’ve quietly said yes or no to any of these questions, I invite you  to join me in the “Beyond the Vision Board” 7-Day Challenge to reach,  engage with and/or learn from other like-minded women.  This challenge is  for women who want to walk collectively for 7 days to not only think on  these things but to also bring them to life through focused, guided,  and written attention. Again, 2020 was difficult (to say the  least) but as it sunsets, we would be remiss if we did not appreciate  and build upon the new thoughts, the new ideas, the new decisions, new mindsets, new habits, and the new possibilities that the emergence of a  new year prepares to brings to us. *

    Ep. 11 Who You are Today is Not Enough to Get You to your Tomorrow

    Let's face it. It's time for us to start assessing what we truly need to do to access more of our brilliance. Too much time is being spent paying attention to what we wish we had instead of recognizing, acknowledging, and fortifying the skills and competencies that we possess.  In this episode, I offer 3 ways to help you move forward so that you can accomplish goals that you may have left "on the bookshelf". Through the amplification of my challenges of bringing this podcast to fruition, it is my hope you can make determinations for your next "best" move.  Also! We are celebrating our 100th listen! Yep. Listen. Thank you to all those who have supported Season 1. I hope it has served you well ...and I can't wait to bring you even better content, information, and resources as we make plans for Season 2.  Season 2 will feature special guests who dare to tell their stories of discomfort so that others can learn to do the same.  The  illumination of strategies and tips shared coupled with motivation and  encouragement by guests who don’t mind sharing their stories of courage  and commitment while facing up, side, and downhill battles are the  foundation of this platform. It is my hope that those who are served by these stories and “get it done” messages will be motivated to do whatever it  takes to make magic and brand their brilliance in their own “UnComfort  Zone” regardless of the situation or circumstance.

    Ep. 9 You Weren't Put Here to "MISSION CREEP"

    Listen. There is way too much work to do to be bouncing around from whim to whim. You were placed here for a specific purpose. It will be up to you (and you only) to figure out your divine assignment aka MISSION and accomplish the goals and objectives it will bring about. In order to accomplish that, it will be necessary to stop it with the "mission creeping". Some call it "mission drifting" but it means the same thing. Your job is to stay the course. Here are 5 ways to this this: In this episode, I offer 5 ways to keep from "mission creeping" ...defined by Webster's dictionary as a gradual shift in objectives often resulting in long-term, unplanned commitment. Below each are a few helpful websites and resources referenced in this episode you can use to advance your learning. 1. Identify your CAUSE (read this piece by Isaac Jeffries) https://isaacjeffries.com/blog/2016/12/5/how-to-find-your-cause 2.

    [Introducing HERS] Higher Edge Resources & Support: A new membership community for Black Women Scholars

    HIGHER  EDGE Resources and Support, affectionately known as HERS, is a membership community designed to offer a  supplemental layer of care and sisterhood for Black women scholars.  Although Black women have made incredible gains at all levels  of educational participation and currently persist at a rate higher than  other demographics, we face more internal stressors and personal  impediments which can cause barriers such as impostorism, (along with the  intersection of racial and gender biases), to worsen. This community  aims to provide services and support that contribute to the alleviation of such struggles. Towards the end of the episode, the 4 membership levels are described: (A'SISTt Her Network | Pumps & Circumstance | Schol[HER]ship | PerSIStence) and even a few areas of support that are currently offered out of a list of 50. Here are a few more: Educational pathway planning session Literature review session Personal brand audit Presentation development Signature talk conception (I apologize in advance for the wind in the background!) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theuncomfortzonepodcast/support

    Part III Breaking Down Impostorism: Here are 5 Ways to Combat the @itch in your Head.

    Part III offers my 5-step action plan aka my "anti-impostorism" framework to help you overcome or even defeat impostorism tendencies.  Disclaimer: This is not the result of a study. Consider them actions that have helped me to gain the upper hand in my life and work when I feel these tendencies bubbling up. There are many more actions and ways to overcome this "thing" that I am currently studying and researching. I can't wait to share it with you in upcoming episodes as it unfolds in my life and in the lives of others.  What I present in this episode is based on my lived experience. It is my hope that it serves, shapes, and helps you thrive. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theuncomfortzonepodcast/support

    Part II Breaking Down Impostorism: My impostor fight. I'm winning and you can too.

    You weren't given this life to be afraid of it. You are here to serve to the fullest. You can't do that living and breathing your self-limiting beliefs. I must remind myself of this each day.  Part II reviews how I believe my battle with impostorism (IP) began and some pivotal moments, one in particular, that saved me. After analyzing the literature on this construct, I started to evaluate the parts of my life that may have contributed to my vulnerability and made me susceptible to IP. I could NOT believe the root of my affliction, if you will, but it points back to a very specific incident in the first grade. FIRST GRADE!!  It is my hope that through my story, you will be able to identify that point of time in yours and/or help someone else. Once you pinpoint it, you can deal with it so it doesn't deal with you. There is work to be done. You can't fully contribute being held up harboring feelings that keep you stuck, stumped, and invisible. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theuncomfortzonepodcast/support
