Episode 56: Saying Goodbye (for now)

I recently completed a 10-day transformation program called Atlas. This program is the single most valuable investment I have made in myself in my life so far.

Specifically I have clarity on two things:

1. I have been mistaking passion for purpose.

2. My purpose is to end sexual assault in the world.

I was sexually assaulted when I was 10 years old. It’s held power over me for the last 20 years…up until now.

Now, I'm committed to sharing my story in as many places / spaces as I can to a) continue healing the shame / guilt / rage I've carried b) help others do the same.

To support this vision I’m questioning how all of my time is aligned with my purpose and cutting things out that are not aligned.

I started this newsletter because I believed in the vision of helping people (particularly people of color) grow their career and income.

When I took a hard look at what was actually driving me every day though, it was about my ego. Being associated with a topic like negotiation had an allure to it. I was the demystifier and that made me feel good. I liked being in the position of power. That no longer serves me and it certainly doesn’t serve you.

So it’s time to say goodbye (for now) to this newsletter officially. Thank you so much for believing in me over the last 55 episodes!

Cheers to the next chapter.
