Show Notes

Today I’m talking about the biggest thing I see people struggling with – job drama.

Let me start by saying this is not an episode where I tell you to ‘stick it to the man’ or force your job to change. I am actually going to recommend that you let your job just be a job.

Once I did that, things got so much better for me. So I’m going to break down the mindset work I did to reclaim my power.

Here are the 3 realizations I had:

  1. My job was racist and sexist

Jobs were created by and for white men. If you want to understand this better listen to Episode 7: Emancipation through Entrepreneurship.

We have adapted to demands, but it still doesn’t work well for us.

So why fight it? Why should we give our energy to a job that drains us?

  1. I need to let my job be a job

My job was never supposed to make me happy to begin with. My job was supposed to give me a check, that’s it.

I learned that I got to decide how I felt, and then I felt free.

What helped me most was reserving my energy for my business. Not advocating in a system that was never designed for me.

  1. I’ve got to get out of here

White supremacy is bigger than your job. It is everywhere. It is a system that is all around us. You can’t just find another job to fix it.

Your job doesn’t have to be a problem. You get to decide.

The more I realized that I was causing my own pain at my job, the faster my business grew.

I took all of that energy back, kept it with myself, and I was able to put it into my business.

I hope this episode was the kick in the butt you needed.
