Summary
This week we’re changing it up and I’m sitting in the guest chair. In this special “podcast swap” episode of Side Hustle Pro, I’m sharing an interview from the podcast To Tell You The Truth with host—and Podcast Moguls student—Brittany Sharpton. We dive into the concept of self-imposed barriers and how they can prevent entrepreneurs, especially Black women, from realizing their full potential.
In this episode I share:
- My journey to reclaiming my power in spaces where Black women aren’t usually empowered- and why I’m constantly reminding myself that I’m that girl
- Steps to take to combat the fear and negative self-talk that often creep in
- What feeds my soul and the lessons I’m learning every day- even as a seasoned entrepreneur
- Insights from my Podcast Moguls course and how I’ve seen Brittany grow after being a student
Highlights Include:
00:00 Intro
03:30 From corporate to entrepreneur
09:55 The importance of having a side hustle
11:45 Overcoming biases
17:30 How to show up as a working mom
22:00 Getting your mojo back
27:15 Overcoming the limitations of the patriarchy
37:04 Tips to feed your soul
41:15 Beating fear and imposter syndrome

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Side Hustle Pro, the podcast that teaches you to build and grow your side hustle |
| 0:06.0 | from passion project to profitable business. And I'm your host, Nikaela Matthews Okome. So let's get started. |
| 0:13.8 | Hey, friends, hey, welcome, welcome back to the show. Today's episode is extra special because we're |
| 0:20.0 | switching things up with a podcast swap. My very first podcast swap ever. I'm sharing an episode today from the podcast to tell you the truth, hosted by Brittany Sharpton, who is one of my podcast moguls coaching clients. She completely revamped and relaunched her show after working with me on her |
| 0:39.8 | podcast. And I am so proud of Brittany for walking in her truth and bringing these bold, authentic |
| 0:44.7 | conversations to the forefront. To tell you the truth is all about unpacking these truths |
| 0:50.1 | that we live with and we rarely say out loud maybe in the group chat, right? |
| 0:55.5 | But everything from relationships and career to wellness and personal growth, |
| 1:00.1 | we tend to keep under the vest. |
| 1:02.6 | We put on this mask. |
| 1:04.2 | But now, Brittany is dismantling all of that. |
| 1:07.3 | Starting with the conversation with me, |
| 1:10.2 | Brittany takes one's taboo conversations out of the group chat and into the world with humor, honesty, and heart in a way that only she can. And here's the thing about me, right? I know I host a podcast, but I prefer to stay on this side of the mic. Yes, I do. I like to ask the questions. I don't like to answer them. |
| 1:29.4 | So only Brittany could get me in the guest chair and the interview was so well done. It gave me the |
| 1:36.0 | chance to share my story in a way that I haven't before. I shared stories that I've never shared, |
| 1:41.1 | my true thoughts and feelings and opinions in this moment, in this |
| 1:45.6 | phase of life. And whether you're new to side hustle pro or you've been rocking with me from |
| 1:50.7 | day one, this is a great way to remind yourself of my own story, my own side hustle journey. |
| 1:57.6 | I'm in the side hustle journey every day with y'all. All right? So listen to my |
| 2:02.8 | interview on to tell you the truth. And you can check out to tell you the truth on YouTube, Apple, |
| 2:08.6 | Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. And if you want to learn more about becoming a podcast |
