Deciding To Soar: Living Life Your Own Way!

In this episode, I reflect on a piece of elder wisdom that has changed how I see relationships: “Don’t fall so much in love with the water that you forget to care for the well.”We often focus on what we receive—support, advice, opportunities—but we don’t always pause to honor the people who make those things possible.This conversation explores the difference between the “water” and the “well,” the hidden cost of what people give us, and how to practice gratitude in a way that truly nourishes relationships.I also share practical ways to care for the people in your life—and how to protect yourself if you are the one others depend on.If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode.

In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I share one of the most powerful lessons my elders ever taught me: Your reputation is more important than revenge.For many years, I only understood this phrase intellectually. But about 15 years ago, I had an experience that forced me to understand this phrase on an emotional and spiritual level.Because around that time, someone I trusted deeply began spreading falsehoods about me. Not only did I feel betrayed, but the slander affected my business, my health, and my reputation. And in moments like that, the desire to defend yourself—or even seek revenge—can feel overwhelming.In this episode, I talk honestly about those emotions and why they are completely normal when someone lies about you, misrepresents your work, spreads gossip, or betrays your trust.I also share a framework I developed called The Five A’s of Protecting Your Reputation, which has helped me navigate difficult moments with clarity and integrity:• Acknowledge the wound• Assess the impact• Arrange your response• Activate your plan• Continue healing and stay openThis episode was a hard one, and is for anyone who has ever felt misrepresented, betrayed, or misunderstood. It's also for anyone who needs ideas on ways to respond that protect both their character and peace.Remember: Revenge may feel satisfying in the moment, but when you damage your reputation, the effects can last a lifetime.The good news is that when your reputation is rooted in integrity, it will speak for you in places where you may not have access.If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need encouragement today.You can also connect with me and find more reflections at SharRonJamison.com.If you are interested in more intimate conversations, don't forget to join my newsletter.Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate📧 EMAIL SharRon: [email protected]💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamisonLIKE THIS EPISODE?If so, please share it with a friend.

In this episode, I explore a truth we don’t talk about enough: Black women are praised for their strength but rarely witnessed in their softness.And I believe that softness is one of the most sacred parts of our humanity.To be clear: Softness is not weakness. It is tenderness without armor. It is empathy without overextension. It is rest without apology. It is laughter and levity.In this conversation, I share five reasons why witnessing softness matters emotionally, spiritually, physically, and professionally.This episode is an invitation to:• Release survival mode• Reclaim personhood beyond performance• Create environments where growth happens through safety, not pressure• Remember that we are worthy without producing.If this episode resonates with you, please:⭐ Leave a review🔔 Subscribe📲 Share with someone who needs to hear itAnd email me your thoughts [email protected] honor your time, your presence, and your softness.#Witnessing #SoftnessIsSacred #BlackWomenHealing #StrongBlackWomanMyth #SacredRest #WholenessJourney #LeadershipAndHealing#EmotionalWellness #DecidingToSoar #DareToSoarHigher #BlackWomenInLeadership #RestIsResistance #HealingBeyondPerformance#WomenInCorporate #SoulCare #SharRonJamisonWant more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate📧 EMAIL SharRon: [email protected]💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamisonLIKE THIS EPISODE?If so, please share it with a friend.

In this episode, I explore the heightened importance of witnessing Black women—especially now.As we enter Black History Month, Black women are navigating disproportionate career disruption, increased responsibility, emotional fatigue, and systemic invisibility. Yet we are still expected to perform at peak strength without protection and to maintain resilience without rest.In this conversation, I unpack five critical ways Black women need to be witnessed: strength, success, struggle, sadness, and shifts.I share why strength without care becomes exploitation, why unwitnessed success offers no protection, why unacknowledged struggle leads to burnout, why buried sadness hardens the spirit, and why healing shifts can threaten systems that benefit from our silence.The episode promises to be both inspirational and instructional—offering language for experiences many Black women live but rarely get to name. Whether you are navigating leadership, career change, or personal reinvention, this conversation invites you to see more clearly, respond more humanely, and witness more courageously.Join us in this crucial dialogue as we commit to seeing, celebrating, and nurturing each other on our journeys toward wholeness, freedom, and joy.And as always, if the episode resonates, please share, leave a review, and subscribe.#DecidingToSoar #WitnessingBlackWomen #Empowerment #BlackHistoryMonth #Strength #Success #Struggles #Sadness #Community #Healing #Authenticity #Sisterhood #MentalHealth #Recognition #CelebrateBlackWomen #Support #Nurture #Resilience #Visibility #Acknowledgment #WomenSupportingWomen #EmotionalWellness #CollectiveHealing #SelfWorth #PersonalGrowth #BlackWomenMatter #WorkplaceEquity #TrueWitnessing #TogetherWeRise #BlessingsWant more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate📧 EMAIL SharRon: [email protected]💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamisonLIKE THIS EPISODE?If so, please share it with a friend.
