Next level emotional alchemy is unlocked when you realize fear is simply data, not an enemy to wage war against. It sounds so fucking cliche, but the more I make piece with parts and emotions, and invite them to the table as advisors, the more clarity and peace I find myself able to connect with.

This week, I've been allowing my fear of slowing down to show me where scarcity has been running the show—where I don't trust the abundance of our world + universe—where stories of performance and inadequacy are running. Until giving them a voice, I couldn't let them go. But now I can.

I haven't done this in a while—mood Monday. What does this picture convey to you? I typically do buildings, but I thought I'd throw in some nature. This was taken at Boti Falls in Ghana. After the most rigorous hike of my life (unintentionally), my partner and I rested at this waterfall.

The water hanging in the air both cooled us and seemed to charge the space. There's something undeniably mystical about waterfalls. #photography

Las Vegas, here I come 🤎 This has been a year of firsts. First time in New York (and I got to go twice). And this will be my first time in Sin City. Oh the places we'll go building a regenerative business ✨

I had the pleasure of offering a breakout session on Tech & AI. My inner (outer, all-encompassing) nerd came out with a Runescape-esque presentation. Until next year ladies 🤎

I've been to the World Trade Center area twice, and I'm always struck by this structure. Leviathan. Looming. And also transparent. Organic. It feels like a breath. Movement. The cycles of life.

I got me a lil shitty ass Vivitar digital camera, and I am beyond overjoyed at all the moments I’m capturing with it. There really is nothing like returning to the analog and tactile. Next up, finishing rebooting a classic iPod + setting up my dumb phone.

I will never get over how much energy the spaces we inhabit and move through carry. We don't even need to be in a place physically to receive something from it. 2/2

Hey, self-sufficient baddie 👋🏾 Have you uttered these words or thought these thoughts? * "This will only take me a few minutes...I should do it myself instead of passing it along like we discussed." * "Everyone else is managing all of this (and then some). I should be able to as well." * […]

viadeoduraa.comBusiness Baddies Embrace SupportHey, self-sufficient baddie 👋🏾 Have you uttered these words or thought these thoughts? * _"This will only take me a few minutes...I should do it myself instead of passing it along like we discussed."_ * _"Everyone else is managing all of this (and then some). I should be able to as well."_ * _"If someone else does [bookkeeping, estimates, scope outs, call backs] what would I do? What would I be needed for?"_ If so, you may have over-functioning-itis. Symptoms are: * Declining help (aggressively). * Being resentful if you don't receive help, and being resentful if you do. * Feeling like your business momentum has plateaued, even though you're busy af. * A panicky feeling when you think of spending more than a day away from work. The prescription? Navigating what pieces of your identity are wrapped up in your "utility" and nourishing them so they unmesh. That is a life-long journey for many of us in capitalistic societies. A powerful baby step is simply making the choice to bring in more support in our business. Getting support can feel like more of a hassle than a help, though. And it honestly often is at first. However, like most good things, the hiccups at the beginning are worth the returns: You onboard a new sub. It's clunky as you learn to communicate, schedule and the rest. But a few jobs in, you wonder how you ever survived without them. Learning a new yoga pose or workout form—it's awkward, tight, uncomfy. But as you put in reps, you unlock new flexibility and range that leaves you feeling stronger than ever. You finally organize your goddamn kitchen cabinets. Of course, you go to the left, not the right, for cups. You fumble to remember where the cutlery is housed. But after a few weeks, you are seriously vibing with your new kitchen flow (and now your spices are within reach when you're frantically trying to stop your sauteed onions from sticking to the pan). The same can be so very true when it comes to shifting from doer to director—shifting from handling it all to handing it off. Yes, your bookkeeper will need time and attention to get onboarded. Yes, your marketer will need your input and guidance to make the most of your ads. Yes, your virtual administrator will need to put in the reps to begin offloading from your plate. But what does life look like on the other side of delegation? * 5, 10, 20 hours gained a week? * Creative space to develop a strategy that adds tens of thousands to your bottom line? * More moments with friends and family without the hum of stress and tension running underneath them. What does that greater capacity look like to you? ✺ Need help getting to that greater capacity? I place vetted virtual administrators with home service business. Unlike traditional VA agencies that plop a person in and leave the onboarding to you, we have a 12 week managed process—crafted from my years in the construction + home service industry—that prepares your systems and then trains your virtual administrator for you.

10 years ago, I thought misgendering someone was “loving”. 10 years ago, I thought traditional African religions were “demonic”. 10 years ago, I thought joy, community and peace could only be found in externalizing my power.

I’m so freaking proud of who I am today— Raising myself and my children to love, respect and advocate for all. Raising myself and my children to honor our heritage. Raising myself and my children to only engage in spaces that welcome us (and others) wholeheartedly.

The journey from fundamentalism → freedom has been a harrowing journey at many turns. But so so worth it. And I feel that if I can make it, anyone can—and there’s hope for our world.

Hushed anticipation. I feel drawn toward the most forward room, like there is something or someone just out of sight and around the corner that will ease that familiar ache, that gentle yearning pull…

Build the Matriarchy
@buildthematriarchy.bsky.social

Capitalism has brainwashed us into thinking that competition is needed for survival. It's not. Collaboration is. "Survival of the fittest" isn't a duel to the death. It's about adaptation & cooperation to continue to evolve the species for optimal odds of survival.
