Self-Care Coach for Women CPAs | Helping You Excel Without Burnout | Your Career’s Success Story Shouldn't Include Exhaustion
Your body insecurities silently dictate your career moves and money decisions, and you may not be aware of this. 💯For many women, especially women of a certain background whose bodies do not fit the diet culture ideal standards, there's a subtle but yet powerful interplay between our body image and our bank accounts. 🤔How many times have we settled for a job that paid less than what we knew we could earn, played small, declined an invitation to a key networking event, turned down an opportunity not because we lacked the experience but because of how we perceived ourselves (looked or sounded)? 🙏🏾I was truly humbled and honored to share the stage with other amazing women at this Love, Wealth and Womanhood event to talk about the connection between our relationship with our bodies and our relationship with money. It might not be something we talk about often, but the way we perceive ourselves can have a serious impact on our financial well-being. 💜Oooooh! It was such a great event and I was truly inspired to be surrounded by women standing powerfully in their purpose. I’m still digesting all the gems shared at this event!!! Thanks Ekene Ajene Onu for curating and hosting such an amazing event. 🔥And yes, I love it when I can show up both as a CPA and a Certified Mindset Coach…Let me open my calendar for more speaking engagements😉 . . #womenempowerwomen #womenempoweringwomen #careerdevelopment #careergrowth #investinyourself #personaldevelopment

Which came first, babies or adults? Space or nothing? Hurry or worry? Music or language? Explore the world of firsts in my newest philosophical book for children and youth - really, for children of all ages - with magnificent illustrations by my wife Cecilia Chapa Phillps and our 10-year-old daughter Cybele Phillips. And this latest, third installment of our Philosopher's Club series is hot off the presses just in time for Christmas :) [Also keep in mind that it's not just the unique sets of questions in these series of philosophical books that set us apart from the pack - rather, and just as importantly, it's also the pathways our 'Socrates Cafe method' of exploration provides for coming up with bracing new answers.
