Ep. 1016 – Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go? with Dr. Portia Preston
"I was told to slow down, and I did. And then the second I could run back to the hustle; I went back to it because that was where my identity was." – Dr. Portia Preston
Today’s featured author is 2x TEDx speaker, certified executive coach, researcher, an Associate Professor of Public Health, and CEO/Founder of Empowered to Exhale, Dr. Portia Preston. Dr. Portia and I had a fun on a bun chat about her book, “Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go?: A Guide to Shame-Free Wellness That Honors Your Reality and Gives You Life”, her journey from South Central LA to academia, redefining success beyond relentless achievement, and more!
