Imagine working your whole life for a job you dream of, for the job you’ve envisioned as your dream job after years of hard work - only to get there and realize, dang, this isn’t what I thought it would be. 

That’s what Aisha Beau Johnson experienced when she reached her goal job and then decided to pivot, quit her job, and start her life as a self-care writer for women of colour. Hear how she overcame her doubts and fears, empowered herself to take the leap of faith, and why representation is important for women of colour in the self-care industry.
