About This Episode

If there’s one thing I will never stop advocating for, it’s about being unapologetically opulent and shedding a more positive light on what it means to be bougie.

The reason why I’m so adamant about this advocacy is because for me, it is an issue that runs so deep and is intertwined with race and equality. 

If you’re an avid listener of the show (and thank you for that!), I always open each episode by throwing off this question that to me means so much more than an intriguing question. It’s actually my challenge to how society views not just women but black women specifically.

What is it about a woman being unapologetic about her dreams and her drive, operating excellence, and having high standards that people find so intimidating?

We can always write people off based on our superficial first impressions, that a woman wearing a Chanel perfume or carrying a Louis Vuitton bag is “materialistic” or shallow and only think about fashion or shopping. That is not only an incomplete observation – it is downright insulting.

Women know the value of hard work and attaining their dreams. We have the capacity to not just aspire but actually achieve. And enjoying the finer things in life and living our most opulent selves is the result of all our hard work and sacrifices. It’s just right that we enjoy it! 

I hope you enjoy these six lessons I live by when it comes to money, building and managing wealth, and being our most opulent and authentic selves:

• #1 – Educate yourself and have a deeper awareness if you want to really grow your wealth. (From Episode 6 – Beyond Your 401K)
• #2 – Remove the guilt from having money, and let it flow to you freely! (From Episode 37 – What’s Your Relationship With Money?)
• #3 – Stinge vs. Splurge: Find the right balance towards abundance and opulence. (From Episode 45 – Money Mindset – The Secret to Living a Financially Fulfilling Life)
• #4 – Whatever you appreciate – just like money – appreciates! (From Episode 21 – 9 Opulent Steps)
• #5 – Don’t be ashamed about aspiring to be rich! Rich depends on how you define it. (From Episode 14 – Redefining Bougie)
• #6 – Be unapologetic about your quest to be rich and live abundantly. (From Episode 36 – Be Unapologetically Opulent)
