In this incredibly raw second part of my conversation with Chenae Erkerd, we move beyond the "why" of workplace trauma and into the personal journey of healing and resilience. Chenae shares how she was able to navigate a toxic work environment by holding on to her faith, the love of her family, and her own self-worth.
This is a powerful, vulnerable conversation about:
Finding your core identity: Chenae discusses how she found strength by drawing on her roots and the wisdom of her ancestors, including her grandmother and a Black Panther uncle.
The importance of a spiritual foundation: She shares how her faith was an unwavering anchor during her most challenging times, offering her clarity and purpose.
Owning your narrative: We discuss the importance of not allowing a job to define you or dictate your self-worth.
The power of "The Gift": Chenae closes the episode with a breathtaking and deeply personal spoken word poem, "Mary," that encapsulates her journey and the resilience of women throughout history.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has felt broken by their professional life and is searching for a path to healing, empowerment, and a deeper sense of purpose.
