When ambition meets authenticity, everything changes.

In this episode, I’m joined by writer, former attorney, and media strategist Faye McCray for a conversation about career pivots, parenting, and finding yourself beyond the grind. We talk about navigating predominantly white spaces, raising kids with intention, and why authenticity (not hustle) should be our measure of success.

Faye also shares her journey from law to media and consulting, how storytelling can build true connection, and the boundaries that help her protect her peace. If you’ve been rethinking your career path, craving more balance, or just wanting to feel more like yourself in every space you occupy, this one’s for you.

In this episode we discussed:

• Your career path doesn’t have to be linear to be successful.
• Connection and empathy are essential in both life and business.
• Parenting is a lesson in flexibility, patience, and introspection.
• Boundaries protect your energy and purpose.
• Authenticity is the new measure of success.
