QUOTES:

“What matters is — when you get clarity about what you're supposed to do, and when you have that clarity, and you just can't let that go…  that what keeps you up all night that ‘this is not right, but I know what is’ —  go get that.” — Dr. Ebere Sonoiki

"Nothing about this process is easy, nothing about it is comfortable, but everything about it is worth it." — Dr. Ebere Sonoiki

"I believe in work-life harmony. You hear a lot of people talk about work-life balance, and actually think work-life balance is pretty difficult, almost nearly impossible to achieve. Work-life harmony is about being present; and being present in all the different dynamic areas of your life." — Tareka Wheeler

Loving the topics and the informational yet fun style of offering great professional advice and encouragement every week! My favorite episode so far is all about the 4 Roles Successful Professionals Must Play!

The best aspect of this podcast is the audience that it reaches. I’m a college student about to step into the next chapter of my life and I resonate with so many of the episodes. Tareka is so smart and so passionate about her message to her audience and she knows how to relate. I listen to every single one of her episodes and am fascinated about how she connects the dots between an individual and different parts of their life and career🤍

I really appreciate you bringing this topic to light and choosing to share your personal challenges. The hardest thing for me has been being really good at something (career) you don’t love and trying to make it work. And being too afraid to leave or fully own that I want to leave because I think it’s the best thing I’ve achieved so far.. Your transparency helped me be more honest with myself! Thank you! This podcast was right on time.
