Mental Health, Empathetic Leadership & Learning From Your Mistakes
In this conversation, my client and co-collaborator, Tiffany Hardin and I discuss the challenges that black women face in mainstream wellness practices and the importance of prioritizing mental health. I shares my journey of founding Rose Ranch, a horse ranch that focuses on mental health and inner well-being for people of color, specifically those that work in the fields of healthcare. We discuss the concept of being a conscious hustler and the importance of self-care and rest in achieving goals.
