From fast food to corporate Starbucks, Rasie highlights how collaboration, trust, and learning became her leadership pillars as well as uplifting others.

She shares the emotional buildup, divine timing, and mindset shifts that helped her choose herself. She opens up about the inner conflict of unlearning the 9–5 guilt and embracing time freedom leading her to now reclaim joy in her new lifestyle—long walks, early mornings, and building a business grounded in alignment, efficiency, and impact.
28:01 – From going full-time in her business to moving communities, getting married, and touring with her husband’s band—Rasie shares what it means to move at her own pace and trust in divine timing during seasons of rapid transformation. She shares how shifting her mind from “Why me?” to “What is this here to teach me?” has allowed her next act to be filled with intention and radical self-responsibility. She invites women of colour considering their next goals, to ask themselves deep questions like: What do you want? Why do you want it? What’s in the way? And are you ready? She reminds us that not all readiness is visible—emotional preparation is leadership, too.
41:35 – Rasie shares the one word she’d keep if the dictionary disappeared: grace. For herself, for others, and for every version of us in the becoming. She welcomes connecting with her on LinkedIn or Instagram, subscribe to her leadership newsletter, or join a book coaching info session if you're ready to write and lead in your truth.
