In this post, we’ll explore what purpose means, the signs that you haven’t found yours yet, and practical steps to help you on your journey to self-discovery. Signs You Haven’t Found Your Purpose Yet Before we dive into how to find your purpose, let’s identify some common signs that indicate you’re still searching: You feel unfulfilled in your daily life – Even when things are going well, something still feels off.

Episode 7: The Black Tax — Financial Responsibility, Family Expectations & Ambition

-

 


There are conversations many families feel but rarely name.
Provision.
Obligation.
Expectation.
Ambition.

On this episode of This Is Not Small, we unpack “The Black Tax” the financial and emotional responsibility often placed on individuals within families and communities, especially when they begin to grow, earn, and succeed.

What happens when personal ambition meets collective expectation?
How do you build your future while carrying inherited responsibility?

In Episode 7, I’m joined by a nurse and entrepreneur whose journey bridges both healthcare and business. Navigating service and entrepreneurship, she brings lived experience to a deeply nuanced conversation about financial responsibility, generational expectations, and the quiet pressure many high-achieving individuals carry.

Together, we explore:
The reality of the Black Tax in modern society
Balancing family support with personal growth

The emotional weight behind financial obligation
Protecting ambition without losing compassion

This is not a surface-level discussion. It is honest, layered, and necessary.

Because some responsibilities are visible.
Others are carried in silence.

And this conversation is not small!

The One Who Knows My Audacity Is Not Pride

  There is a quiet strength in being the one who initiates. To be the one who decides not out of pride, but out of clarity. To pursue, not because I must chase, but because I trust my instincts. To be firm, not to control, but to honour my truth. They may call it pride. But only the one who truly sees me who understands the weight of my journey will know: It is not pride. It is courage. Because for too long, I was taught to wait. To dim. To question. To tiptoe. But now I stand in the fullness of who I am. And every step I take is a declaration: That I deserve to take up space. That my desires are valid. That my voice matters. So when I choose to move first, To speak up, to love out loud, to walk away or lean in Know that it is not arrogance. It is liberation. And still there is One who knows. The One who understands that my audacity to act, to build, to believe in what seems impossible to others, is not pride, but a sacred knowing. The One who walks with me, even in my sleep Whispe...

I Didn’t Say It Out Loud, But I Had a Ceiling Fan Habit That Saved the Day

  Since the third week of February, I made a game-changing decision: no more dragging myself out of bed feeling like I just ran a marathon. I was tired of waking up with a headache, body aches, and that sluggish, “ugh” feeling. I figured out one key thing  it wasn’t just my sleep; it was my environment that was messing with my vibe. The ceiling fan. Yep, you read that right. My body was enjoying the chill a little too much, and it was leaving me feeling far from refreshed. So, I switched it up. Every time I woke up in the middle of the night  as I always do to use the washroom  I decided to turn off the fan. And if the weather’s not too hot? No fan at all. Simple, right? But it’s made all the difference. Now, when I wake up, I actually feel like I’m waking up to a whole new version of myself. According to  National Sleep foundation  the habits and behaviors that support healthy sleep is a great way to make sure you get the most out of any relaxation techniq...
