Starting from moments of slowing down and drifting into creative work, this episode explores why creativity can be a place of rest rather than output, and how voice and identity are deeply tied to how we unwind and make sense of life. Aishat speaks candidly about feeling out of place in professional and business spaces; as a Black woman, as a business owner, and as someone navigating different stages of life and age. From subtle exclusions in professional groups to generational mismatches in industry spaces, she reflects on what it means to crave community without wanting to contort yourself to belong. This is not an episode about answers or solutions. It’s an invitation to sit with the question, to notice misalignment, and to pay attention to where you can exhale. Best Moments “You’re not just networking, you’re translating yourself.” “Too experienced for some spaces. Too reflective for others.” “The question ‘where do I fit?’ isn’t about geography or age. It’s about energy.” Key Takeaways: Creativity can be a place of rest, not just productivity Feeling out of place doesn’t always mean something is wrong; it can be information Belonging that requires constant adjustment comes at a cost Community isn’t about numbers or visibility, but about being able to exhale Clarity can begin with knowing where you don’t fit Resources and Links: Subscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedIn Join Aishat's mailing list Free Resources → here About your host: Aishat is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.
