Uncomfortable On Purpose

At 27, we thought certain things would look very different.We thought we’d be further along in our careers, own property, have children, and be in a completely different place financially. In this episode, Kudz and I have an honest conversation about the lives we imagined for ourselves, the expectations we put on our twenties, and what it feels like when reality doesn’t quite match the picture in your head.From careers and money to buying a home and starting a family, we talk about where we are, where we hoped we’d be, and learning to navigate the space in between.If you’ve ever looked at your life and wondered, “Is this where I’m supposed to be by now?” this conversation is for you.Welcome to Uncomfortable on Purpose ; conversations about growth, and becoming.Let’s talk about it: What did you think your life would look like by 27?

It’s been a while, friend.In this episode, I’m catching you up on what’s been happening in my life and behind the scenes of my journey as a creator. The exciting opportunities, the doubts, the comparison, the vulnerability, and the parts of growth that nobody really talks about.I’ve been learning that sometimes when you ask for a bigger life, you’re first given the lessons that prepare you to carry it.So if you’re in a season of becoming too, this one is for you. 🤍

Some of the beliefs I held most strongly a few years ago… I don’t believe anymore.In this episode, I’m sharing five things I’ve completely changed my mind about, from what confidence looks like as a Black woman, to friendships, family relationships, my accounting journey, and the need to be well-liked.We talk about how my perspective on natural hair has evolved, why I no longer measure my worth by the number of friendships I have, how I’ve learned to approach difficult family relationships with more grace than retaliation, and why I’m finally grateful for the accounting career I once saw as a detour.I also share one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a creator: being authentic and living with integrity doesn’t guarantee that everyone will like you, and that’s okay.If you’ve ever looked back and realized you’ve outgrown an opinion you once defended, this conversation is for you.

Why does asking for more money feel so personal?In this episode, I’m unpacking the internal struggle of charging higher for my work and the money beliefs I didn’t realise I was carrying. From negotiating with brands to questioning my own worth, I’ve started to see that pricing isn’t just a business decision—it’s often a reflection of the stories we believe about ourselves.We explore where our beliefs about money come from, how family, culture and past experiences shape the way we value ourselves, and why entrepreneurship has a way of exposing every insecurity we thought we’d hidden. This isn’t an episode about getting rich. It’s about learning to separate your worth from your price and giving yourself permission to take up space, ask for what your work deserves, and build a healthier relationship with money.If you’ve ever apologised for your prices, felt guilty for wanting more, or wondered whether you’re “worth it,” this conversation is for you.

This week’s episode is a little different.Instead of diving into a specific topic, I’m letting you get to know me a little better. I asked my husband to come up with a list of questions, and I answered them without knowing what was coming.It feels less like an interview and more like sitting down for coffee with a friend.If you’ve been listening for a while and have wondered who I am outside of the advice, wellness conversations, and self-development, this episode is for you.I hope you enjoy getting to know me a little better. 🤍
