Dear Goal Getters,
Happy Valentine’s Day! I recently did something our culture considers very romantic: I got married.
Two things you should know about me: 1) I love the feeling of Black love, so February is a special month for me. 2) I am a marriage person, not a wedding person. The latter feels like too much stress, too much fuss.
So, my wedding gift to myself was a small ceremony with my immediate family: no fancy dinners, just my sister as the officiant and a tasty coconut cake.
One valuable lesson I have learned on my journey is that loving myself starts with participating in my own rescue. Honoring my needs, filling my cup, and setting clear boundaries allow me to show up for people.
By keeping our wedding small and simple, my husband and I could focus on one another and the start of the beautiful life we’re building together. What does it look like for you to fill your cup this month? Hit reply and let me know!
Coach's Corner - Workplace Red Flags
If you’re interviewing with a company that says, “we’re like family here,” proceed cautiously. Familial vibes may sound inviting, but remember that work is a transaction: you might drop everything to do a favor for your cousin, but you won’t show up to work if they don’t pay you. Love yourself enough to protect your peace – be clear about your boundaries from the jump.
