Things I Wish Somebody Told Me: The Beginning
What They Don’t Tell You About This Part of Life
Over the last few years, there are a lot of things I’ve had to figure out on my own.
Business. Money. Leadership. Family. Health. Faith.
Trying to build while also trying to heal.
Trying to lead while still learning.
Trying to carry responsibilities nobody prepared me for.
Nobody gave me a handbook for this part.
I’m not here to talk about cute theories or perfect daily routines.
This space is about real life and the things that I Wish Somebody Told Me about life, love, business, God, money, etc. etc. etc.
Why this, why now
I’m at a point in life where I want to share what I’ve learned, and what I’m in the process of learning. Being an 80s baby, I’m at the phase where my generation is taking our place as the “grown ups” of this time, and that is crazy by itself!
I’ve been blessed to build a substantial platform on all social media platforms, but this is not about that. I’m not trying to be famous, and I’m not focused on vanity metrics, for me this is about authentic sharing.
I’m just trying to build a live offline that I can be proud of, and I know there are others who share that same sentiment.
But nobody really gives you the playbook for how to balance all of it, and still stay grounded in who you are.
That’s what Things I Wish Somebody Told Me is here for.
What kind of community are you looking to build here
This is for people who are navigating real responsibility:
Running businesses
Caring for parents or children
Managing money, ownership, and long-term moves
Trying to stay whole mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while doing it all
You aren’t going to get cute colloquialisms or textbook cliches, this sh*t is going to be real and hopefully valuable. There are some things I’ve learned about life, love, and business that I plan to share in the spirit of not losing recipes.
We’re going to have real conversations about the weight of trying to hold it all together, especially as a grown Black woman navigating life, leadership, and legacy.
What You Can Expect
I’m going to be sharing weekly with thoughts covering vast topics like:
Business & entrepreneurship lessons (the honest version)
Leadership & decision-making
Financial woes and wins
Family, caregiving, and personal life balance
The spiritual development that saved my life
Everything will be free as we build this out. Paid options may open later for deeper business content or private community conversations.
Connect & Communicate
If this speaks to you, connect so we can communicate!
I welcome your conversation and insight. I want this to be a space where we can actually talk.
If something in a post hits you, drop a comment. Share your experience. Ask the question. Challenge the idea. Add your perspective.
-Peace, Nita
