The How She Ate An Elephant podcast is my way of holding myself accountable to my future-self. Here is the thing though... I am better at keeping promises to others than I am at keeping them to myself.
I call future-me "That Girl". She is awesome, you'll like her -- but she doesn't need your validation. That Girl is killing it at work, is debt-free, has a net-positive impact on the world around her, and she always manages to say the right thing at the right time. She personifies #wokeness, #blackgirlmagic, and #wellnessgoals. She knows herself and does not let fear of failure control her decisions.
This is where you come in: just by listening, you are helping me to achieve them. I hope that by listening you can take some of my lessons learned into your life and become your future-self.

Quote mentioned:
“A critical theory is premised upon the idea that there is no way of knowing the world better than by anticipating a better world. Such anticipation provides both the intellectual instruments to unmask the institutionalized, harmful lies that sustain and legitimate social injustice and the political impulse to struggle against them.”
