The Meantime

Atlanta is having one of those “fake spring” weeks. Warm sunshine one day, cold temperatures the next. It feels like the weather is faking us out.

That idea ended up becoming the perfect metaphor for this season of life.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it means to sit in the meantime. That period where things are moving, but maybe not as quickly or as smoothly as you hoped.

Over the past few months, I’ve had a lot of honest conversations with fellow entrepreneurs, many of them Black women, and we’ve all been saying the same thing. The year isn’t quite popping the way we expected.

That realization pushed me to look inward and ask some hard questions.

Was I really doing everything I could be doing?
Was fear holding me back from taking bigger, bolder steps?
What would it look like to trust my track record and move forward anyway?

In this episode, I talk about:

• The fear that shows up when we try to build something new
 • Why remembering your “receipts” matters
 • How Black women are often taught to shrink instead of celebrate ourselves
 • What it looks like to use slow seasons intentionally
 • Finding joy, rest, and growth in the meantime

Because the truth is, life rarely lines up perfectly. There is almost always something unfinished, uncertain, or still unfolding.

So the question becomes: what do we do with the time in between?

Pop Culture Corner

This week I’m talking about the HBO series Industry and while I loved the show, I hated each one of the characters. It has all of the makings of your fave new show: the ambition, the cutthroat culture, and the characters you love to hate.

Let’s just say… I couldn’t root for any of them.
