When you stop self-silencing. You make and sustain your desired shifts in your life, business and work.
Let's stop burying how you're truly feeling.
Entrepreneurship and leadership is an emotional rollercoaster. It's a path filled with exhilarating highs, disheartening lows, unexpected twists, and traumatic turns. While both roles offer incredible opportunities for personal fulfillment, societal impact, and financial gain, they also present unique hurdles.
These challenges and traumas are multifaceted, stemming from societal, cultural, and familial expectations, internal obstacles, and systemic inequalities that Black and Brown women face daily. These aspects are often overlooked, downplayed, or even erased from the narrative surrounding entrepreneurship and leadership, replaced by glamorized portrayals and misleading messages.
Anger is a natural and powerful response to these challenges and traumas. Yet you've been taught to fear it, hate it to do whatever is needed to not feel it. So you can survive and "succeed" by going along to get along. This is what is known as self-silencing. Sadly this results in a host of unacknowledged and unintended stress and harm for you, your business or your leadership.
What if you?
Allowed yourself to fully experience and express anger without fear, guilt or shame?
Many of us struggle with anger because we've been taught to misinterpret its true nature.
Empowering you to prioritize your wellbeing even when it feels challenging.
Anger, along with other emotions such as excitement, joy, anxiety, fear, frustration, envy, and guilt, influence your choices and actions in business and leadership.

What clients are saying...
Working with Gigi I learned a new way to center myself and set several personal and professional goals!
Gigi was instrumental in helping me to stay aware of my power and influence. The exercises helped me to focus and plan for greater success in the future.
THANK YOU, GIGI, for being there to help me work through. You may not even know the impact you had…but even a kind word, gesture, acknowledgment of someone can bring the out of their fog, even for a moment long enough to see that there is sunshine and clarity.
I started first working with Gigi in fall of 2018. She was very patient, generous of her time, and gave good advice with me. I now have a job! One would do well to follow her advice and suggestions.
