In this episode, Roxanne engages with Nikita Burks-Hale in a deep discussion about self-discovery, resilience, and the concept of perfection. They delve into the unique challenges faced by non-white women, explore the concept of an "invisible cape", and dissect systemic issues and microaggressions. Nikita shares her coaching approach and the importance of not being defined by past pain.
Key Points
- Nikkia Stequita Burks Hale, known as the journey coach, helps women of color to live more imperfect, authentic, and intentional lives by guiding them to recognize their resilience and become the best version of themselves.
- Resilience for women of color is seen as an "invisible cape" and consists of enduring and overcoming daily microaggressions and systemic challenges, along with the typical hardships of life.
- Nikkia's coaching approach involves helping clients see their resilience through their past experiences and teaching them five steps for starting their imperfect journey: showing up, being vulnerable, being grateful, harnessing their power, and enjoying the ride.
I recorded this podcast before the protests started. With all of the unrest that’s been in the news surrounding the senseless murder of George Floyd, and the hundreds of years of systemic racism and injustice, we must stand up, speak out and let our voices be heard if we truly want to make a difference. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we are so privileged to welcome Journeyer, Nikita Burks-Hale who is with us to discuss how to create a more authentic life journey for people of colour.
Nikita Burks-Hale, also known as the "JourneyCoach" is a “journeyer” in every sense of the world and has dedicated her life and life’s work to guiding and supporting women in their journey to live more imperfect, authentic, and intentional lives.
