Branding By Liyah

Whenever I went to church as a child, I never understood why women would be crying and so overwhelmed every single Sunday. I used to think, “They’re that upset every single Sunday?”

I had no clue I’d become them — and that they weren’t upset at all.
They were amazed. Grateful. Overwhelmed by how much God had gifted them with.

Even in pain, in despair, and in confusion, He provided everything they needed — every single time.

I get it now.
And in all of that, I’m simply grateful to wake up in my right mind.

Here’s to 35 — covered, called, cared for, deeply grateful, and always intentional. 🩷

Chapter 35 🎉 I’m falling back in love with color and brought in my birthday in a classic Working Girl Boss Club manner. If you’re an OG WGBC member, you remember 🥰

But this time, I’m learning how to receive. To be poured into. To celebrate life with intention, laughter, community, and shrimp & grits.

It’s been a reminder that I’m not just one version of myself. I’m layered. I’m loved. I’m present. 💗

Another Holiday season where I am not only still madly in love with you but I still like you 🥰

‼️ TRIGGER WARNING: No one speaks about this, so I will 🤷🏽‍♀️. Growing up, whenever I saw Black women prioritize themselves, 90% of the time, it was after they were hurt by a man, resentful of their sacrifices for their families, or when they were much older after some tough lessons that forced them to prioritize themselves. I rarely saw them do so without guilt or shame. As a result, I watch us project this on our daughters, partners, friends, & on the internet & it irritates my soul but, it mainly confirms my own fears.

I always feared I would end up like that. It haunted me for most of my life. I have watched generations of women give of themselves for years & I never saw a genuine peace within them. So, I decided to build myself into a machine & operated that way for years.

The thing that completely shifted that reality was when I was working full-time AND running my business which meant Skye was in daycare. Her daycare was pi***ng me off. So I took her out & kept trying to work full-time from home but then my baby was spending more time in front of the tv than with me. It immediately hit me, that these machines we build ourselves into
(because of what we grew up seeing), aren't always what's always best for their development. I had a blessed enough life that allowed me to choose my schedule, & still do what I love which was to create content, run an Airbnb business & be present in the home with my squad.

I have nothing against women that choose daycare. Some women only have daycare as an option. My mom was one of them. & baby, I THRIVED in daycare because I was aware & gifted before I even got there. I see that in Skye. I am sure she would be just fine in daycare as I was. But I don't want fine, I want intentional. I had to learn that that is okay too.

For the first 3-4 years of her life, I want to nourish her body with fresh foods, build her brain beyond the surface & teach and model the concept of emotional intelligence.

If I remained a machine, I don't think I would've been able to intentionally do this.

Now that causes those fears haunting me to DOUBLE & TRIPLE but I figured out the key. It's in the comments after this long ass caption 😇👇🏾

Y’all I was able to get dressed for the living room this year for the first time in 6 years 😅🥰 This is because I decided that this year, I wasn’t hosting anything because I want “Princess treatment” for the rest of my pregnancy after being pregnant 3 times in 3 years back to back 💅🏾 🗣SPOIL ME

Grand Rising Sis! Swipe left issa thread! 🤗 Re-branding is popular around this time of the year. Here are some right reasons to do so.

1️⃣ Raising your price isn’t solely about the time put in, it’s about how well you’ve packaged that time, trial, error, and client transformations for people to visit your site or page and understand the level up 🥰
2️⃣ Once you get the confidence to tell you own story and to present that to your audience, it’s time to
re-introduce to that same audience and that’s a PERFECT time to re-brand
3️⃣ You have to get very clear on WHO you want to serve and release any shame or doubt on how specific you are about who that is. Start placing boundaries and questionnaire forms on who can sign up for your services so that you can “vet” them properly before deciding to work with them. You have a right to be particular.

I’m determined to show you how to create a visible, engaging, and high converting Instagram Page! Click the link in my bio to sign up for the FREE Online Training.
