The Yap!

Is the soft life actually soft? And is hustle culture the only path to building the life you want?In this premiere episode, I sit down with Alex Stewart — a dancer turned movement therapy coach and instructor based in Adenta, Ghana — to have the conversation about what it actually costs women to hustle versus slow down. We get into the mental health toll of both, how it shows up in relationships, what “working like a woman” actually means, and how to find your passion with real, practical steps.Plus, we talk about our experiences living in Ghana as women — cost of living, safety, the highs and the lows — and close it out with our Girl’s Girl Moment where we hype up what we’re building.Connect with Alex: @alex.movesss & @alex.bydesign (IG) | @alex.movess (TikTok)Connect with Jamia: @rarenecessity (all platforms) | therarenecessity.comJoin The Reset Circle (free diaspora-focused community for women looking to connect, collaborate, grow, and cultivate authentic sisterhood): https://forms.gle/xg65u4GoJGgCE4oA7The Best Life Challenge: therarenecessity.com/challenge (for those looking to build a life they don't want to vacation from)
