She Knew Exactly Who She Was As An Attorney. Who Was She When She Was No Longer One? #blackwoman

There is a question that does not get asked enough when we talk about career pivots — not about the money, not about the strategy, not about the business plan — but about the person. Who are you when the title that defined you is no longer yours? In this conversation, I sit down with my Spelman Sister 💙, Candace McLaren Lanham, an Attorney turned Entrepreneur — for a conversation that I know will resonate with every Black Woman who has ever tied her worth to her job title — because this one goes beneath the surface of what career pivots actually cost uson the inside. In this conversation will we cover — ✔️ What it feels like to leave a career that has defined your identity for years — and the disorientation that comes with that ✔️ The grief of no longer being affiliated with a title that shaped how you saw yourself and how the world saw you ✔️ The uncertainty of pivoting to entrepreneurship — and having to redefine yourself from the inside out ✔️ How to navigate the question of who you are when the answer you have always given no longer applies ✔️ What the process of rediscovering yourself actually looks like — not the highlight reel — the real thing This conversation is for you if — You have been in a career for so long that you and the title have become the same thing — and you are either thinking about walking away — or you have already walked away and are trying to figure out who you are now.
