When Success Starts to Cost You Everything with Jessica Rich

What happens when success starts costing you your peace? This week on Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom is joined by Jessica Rich — certified executive and self-wellness coach, founder of Getting Finer LLC, and former corporate leader — for an honest conversation about burnout, self-worth, emotional wellness, and the courage to choose yourself. After 18 years in corporate America, Jessica realized the life she had worked so hard to build no longer fit the peace she wanted to live in. Together, they talk about achievement as identity, the health scare that became a wake-up call, leaving a path that looked successful on paper, and what it really means to prioritize yourself without guilt. This episode is for the woman who has been carrying too much for too long. You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of not carrying it all. You are worthy of making yourself a priority.

What If the Next Level Isn’t More Hustle? with Tahira Christy

What if the next level of your success is not more hustle… but more support? This week on Living Room Wisdom, Patrina Wisdom is joined by Tahira Christy — founder of Amor Prop, artist, entrepreneur, and nonprofit founder — for a deeply honest conversation about self-love, burnout, support, scaling, and redefining what success is supposed to feel like. After 15 years in corporate sales and consistently performing at the top, Tahira reached a breaking point when her body said no. That moment became the beginning of a new way of building: one rooted in creativity, alignment, support, and truth. Together, Patrina and Tahira explore how survival patterns can masquerade as ambition, why many women of color are taught to overfunction before they are ever allowed to soften, and what it means to stop confusing overextension with excellence. They also talk about Tahira’s accidental-but-aligned launch into entrepreneurship during the pandemic, the power of support in marriage and business, and why scaling down can be the smartest way to scale right. This is the episode for the woman who is ready to stop carrying everything alone and start building from wholeness.
