Staying the Course & Embracing Change: July 13th Recap – Inclusive AF Podcast

Hey, Inclusive AF Fam!

We’re back with another powerful episode, and wow, do we have some encouragement, real talk, and actionable nuggets from our most recent conversation with the wonderful Lindiwe Davis (“Lynn Dowie” if you want to get it right)!

If today’s road feels uncertain, or you’re wrestling with career changes, pivots, or just caught in the swirl of the world—this is an episode (and a newsletter) you don’t want to miss.

In This Episode: Courage, Boundaries, and Finding the Right Light

Lindiwe joins Katee and Jackye for a candid conversation about career transitions, building resilience, and creating the life you actually want. Here’s a taste of what we covered:

• Courage in Uncertain Times: Lindiwe shares how she’s doubled down on putting herself—and her business, Features Collective—out there, even when it’s uncomfortable. (“Just because you’re talented, it doesn’t mean people know.”)

• Protecting Your Space: The trio dives deep into the importance of boundaries and giving yourself permission to rest, recharge, and simply say ‘no’—whether it’s skipping that team lunch or binging a little reality TV.

• Navigating Career Pivots: With layoffs up and job security down, Lindiwe offers wisdom on “staying the course,” playing to your strengths, and handling pivots with integrity. Her steps? Research, know your finances, build the right support system, and own every step—even the tough ones.

• Defining the Real Cost of Change: Are you confusing discomfort with struggle? This episode will help you map out “what’s the worst that could happen?”—and empower you to face it with courage (plus a little humor!).

• The Power of Community: Both hosts encourage listeners to find their own “Lindiwe”—someone who inspires, coaches, or simply checks in as you make big moves.

Quick Nuggets to Keep With You

• If you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing, you’ll end up where you belong—even if the road takes a few surprise turns.

• The “price is the price”—and sometimes the leap into something new is worth every penny (and every ounce of courage).

• Find support: Whether it’s a mentor, coach, or just someone who’s walked the path before you.

• Give yourself permission—to rest, to try, to fail, and to get back up again.

• Everything is working out for you (yes, sing the TikTok mantra if you need it!).

Don’t Forget

Lindiwe’s new podcast They Tried It is coming soon, and we can’t wait to hear more of her wisdom on a regular basis. Keep your eyes—and ears—peeled!

If you love this conversation, share the episode with a friend or colleague who could use a little encouragement (or needs to hear it’s okay to watch Love Island on the couch tonight).

Thank you for tuning in and being part of this ever-growing, always-inclusive community. We’ll see you next episode!

With light and inspiration,
Katee & Jackye
