His Truth

When you grow up in survival-mode in inner-city Rochester, NY, by the time you’re a young adult and the first in your family to graduate college, your main priority is to get paid. Jordan thought that chasing pleasures on a six-figure salary was going to resolve his past traumas, depression, and identity issues automatically. Eventually, it caught up to him at home and in the workplace as he struggled to show up authentically.

For years, Jordan coped with high-functioning anxiety, which later caused him to suffer from frequent migraines. Though no one knew, this weighed on him heavily. At the time, doctors couldn’t figure out the root cause, so as his last resort, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He was determined to find a way to become a better version of himself, because the version he was, no longer served him. It was time to address his anxiety, lack of purpose, and life fulfillment.

After some much needed therapy, prayer, life & career coaching, he felt called to start living out his newfound purpose. So he created his own morning routine that over time—resolved his migraines, while transforming his mindset on the value his life & lived experiences offered the world. So much so that he started his own blog and coaching brand as a way of inspiring others to use their imperfect stories as fuel to live more intentional lives.

Her Truth

Candice grew up in a single-parent household in the inner-city of Boston. She quickly realized how much money played an important role in people’s lives. She knew that if she wanted to live a better life, going to college and getting a corporate job would help her get there. Candice was the first in her family to graduate college and being the first comes with not knowing how to navigate the professional world. After graduating college, she acquired a job at an ad agency where she worked for 5 years. On the side, she started a personal finance brand sharing her journey of moving her net worth from the negatives into the positives.

At her 9-5 Candice was one of very few Black people. Many times she didn’t feel like she belonged or that she could be her authentic self. Candice didn’t realize that this job was a toxic workplace where she was micromanaged, overworked and her ideas and creativity were stifled. She also didn’t know how to play the corporate game after starting her career making $38,000. After 5 years her salary only reached $42,000. After a big round of company layoffs Candice was let go, a few months prior she lost her dad to cancer. 

At the time Candice didn’t let any of this stop her, she kept on working and became a full time freelancer while creating content for her personal finance brand on the side. She knew that if she kept working non-stop, she could avoid feeling the pain of losing her dad and the 5 years of bottled up emotions from work. As a result, her personal finance brand grew exponentially and achieved her goal of being debt free. However, It didn’t make her happy nor fulfill her.

Hidden behind all that hustle, she carried so much unresolved pain and trauma. Eventually during the pandemic, she realized that money alone was not the cure, overachieving was not the cure, she needed to focus on her health and well-being as well. She told herself that she had to stop, reflect and heal if she were to become who God truly wanted her to be.

Alongside her husband, she created a morning routine tailored to her mental, physical, spiritual, relational, and financial needs. Spending time reassessing her current values, beliefs, and actions, and building new habits helped her trust & believe in herself again to figure out the type of success she truly wanted in her life & business going forward.
