Episode 1: "Pivot to Purpose"
Hey there, Legacy Builders! 👋 Welcome to our very first podcast episode. I'm LaKeisha A Entsuah, your host, fellow entrepreneur, mama bear of three, and relentless purpose-chaser. Today, we're diving deep with real talk about what it means to pivot to a life that aligns with your authentic calling – no fluff, just the raw journey.
This episode is about embracing change, surrendering to your true calling, and tapping into that zone of genius we all possess. It's not just a conversation – a confession and a celebration of the journey to walk in our God-given purpose. Let's unpack this together, shall we?
In this Episode:
- Behind the Scenes with LaKeisha: Discover how a skincare line and a devotional book led to a transformative moment of truth. Kicking off in 2013, my entrepreneurial journey mirrored my motherhood – born from passion and persistence. But, y'all, there comes a time when we must listen to the gentle nudges (or loud shouts) from the universe guiding us toward our destiny.
- The Art of Letting Go: Here's the candid revelation of how I ended my eight-year love affair with my skincare business. It looked shiny on the surface but felt like forcing a square peg into a round hole. And real talk – burnout is no joke. It's a wake-up call, signaling it's time to reassess and realign.
- Seeking Clarity in Chaos: The whispers from God don't stop. In 2015, I felt the pull to write - and I did, crafting an entire devotional in a week. But the pull to pivot scared me. I hesitated, choosing comfort over calling. Spoiler alert: those whispers turned into screams I couldn't ignore.
- Confirmation and Community: Fast-forward to my 'aha' moment with Coco Life, an organization dedicated to supporting moms during and after pregnancy. Here, I found my groove, purpose, and undeniable push to serve the community that embodies my heart's work.
- Key Takeaways:
- When that nudge from God feels like a cosmic shout, it's time to pivot. Don't be scared; we've all been there.
- Your zone of genius is where your talents, passions, and the needs of those you're called to serve intersect magically.
- Embracing change opens the door to opportunities that let you shine your brightest light.
Reflections:
I share my story – raw and uncut – to show you that pivoting to your purpose can feel like shedding an old skin but, honey, what emerges is a more powerful, purpose-driven you. It's about finding the courage to let go of what's comfortable to make room for what's destined.
The path isn't always smooth, but it's worth every step. So, wherever you're at on this journey – whether you're tiptoeing toward the edge of change or you've heard those roars loud and clear – know this: you're not alone. And let me tell you, stepping into your purpose feels like coming home.
Ready to make that pivot, queen? I see you, I support you, and I can't wait to witness the empire you're about to build. And remember, sustainability crushes hustle every time.
