How can you go from hot mess to life success?

 

For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with Dr. Shai L. Butler, Founder and CEO of StratHERgies and author of Better. Not Perfect. Shai shares her personal journey of becoming a mom at 14, failing out of college, and becoming addicted to alcohol and opioids. Shai shares how she was able to take charge of her life, get her doctorate, and have a decades long career in higher education as a C-suite executive. She also started StatHERgies LLC, a leadership development consultancy that works with current and aspiring C-Suite managers. Dr. Shai debunks the myth that failure is bad. Failing doesn’t make you a failure. 

 

Dr. Shai shares her strategies to go from hot mess to life success:

  1. Find a faith. You don’t have to shoulder life by yourself. Find a faith that resonates with you so that you are able to share life’s challenges.

  2. Invest in a therapist. Our beliefs, including imposter syndrome, are often deeply rooted in childhood trauma. A therapist can help you unpack beliefs that are not serving you.

  3. Affirm yourself. Know your strengths and values. Let go of self-critical beliefs and view yourself from an asset-based lens, including all your gifts.

  4. Take action. Even though you may face fear or doubt, instead of dwelling here, focus your energy on taking action to move your vision forward.
